"Mother, Father!" Draco calls out, spotting a tall couple walking out of a bookstore called Flourish and Blotts. The man was incredibly tall with long, platinum blonde, almost silver hair, cold grey eyes, and pale skin. He wore black robes of some sort and held a sleek black cane with the head of a snake as the handle. Next to him was a woman, only a head shorter, who had long, platinum blonde hair, silver blue eyes, and fair skin. She wore a dark green and black dress. Primrose barely stopped herself from blushing. The woman was very pretty.
"Draco," The woman greets with an almost blank expression and an indifferent tone. She glances over at the twin Potters, Primrose slightly surprised at the small amount of shock that flickered in her expression.
"Who is this?" The woman asks curiously, expression back to its blank slate. Primrose gives a polite smile, squeezing Harry's hand tighter.
"This is Primrose and Harry Potter. I met them in Madam Malkin's. Primrose, Harry, this is my mother and father," Draco introduces the four, practically beaming without smile.
"How can he do that?" Harry wonders, making Primrose stifle a giggle.
"Narcissa Malfoy," The blonde woman greets with a small nod.
"Lucius Malfoy," The man introduces himself, just as indifferent. "The Boy Who Lived and the Girl Who Will Choose."
"Um–sorry–we–" Primrose stutters before she clears her throat. "My brother and I asked Draco if he knew if any of these shops sold anything that could hide magic stuff–I mean–magical things. He didn't know, but said you both knew."
"Oh?" Narcissa questions with a raised eyebrow.
"The rumors about them growing up in the muggle world are true!" Draco says with a small frown. "They only learned about our world last night."
"Is this true?" Lucius asks with intrigue. Primrose and Harry nod their heads while scratching their cheek at the same time.
"Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon don't... like magic," The Harry explains vaguely. "Uncle Vernon tried to get rid of our letters for a week." Primrose scoffs and rolls her eyes.
"Uncle Dursley went insane and we were forced to drive to a hotel. The letters followed... he was really angry," Primrose mutters at the end, rolling her shoulder.
"Hagrid came around midnight and explained what he could to us. He wasn't expecting us to not know anything," Harry continues. "We still can hardly believe it. We thought we were just f-freaks."
Primrose flinches at the name Harry stutters on and adjusts her grip on her bag of robes.
"...I'm sure Twilfitt and Tatting's has something you both are looking for," Narcissa says after a long moment of silence. Primrose didn't recognize the emotion in her tone, but brightens up and beams up at the two adults.
"Thank you Mrs. Malfoy!" The twins exclaim.
"Come, we'll help you find something to your liking," The blonde woman says, leading the way. "And call me Narcissa. You are my Dragon's friends."
"Mother!" Draco exclaims with red ears. Primrose giggles and gives Narcissa a bright smile. Gringotts pops into her thoughts and Primrose frowns slightly.
"Mrs. Malf–Narcissa," The red haired girl starts, "when does Gringotts close?"
"Gringotts is always open. The Goblins are governed by their own and are independent from witches and wizards," Lucius explains, making Primrose beam.
"Hagrid said Gringotts is the only bank wizards use. Are there others?" Primrose asks, curiosity getting the better of her. Lucius scoffs.
"Of course a half–Of course someone like that... man would only know of Gringotts. There are many, but Gringotts and Orcahor are the two major ones. Orcahor is run by the Dwarves, but they're not stationed in Britain," Lucius answers, changing whatever he was going to call Hagrid something else when he noticed Narcissa's glare.
"You seem very... curious," Lucius says, making Primrose fidget with the hem of her dress.
"There's so much we don't know about this–about our world. We're practically toddlers," The girl says with a frown, running a hand through her hair. Her hand gets stuck on a few tangles and she roughly pulls her hand, wincing at the sharp pain.
"We don't even know anything about our parents. About who they were. And people are thanking us and revereing us like we're some sort of–like we're heroes!" Primrose adds, starting to go into a rant.
"Oh no," Harry sighs heavily. Narcissa and Lucius glance at each other with amused eyes.
"Well, to the wizarding world, you are heroes. You managed to stop You-Know-Who," Narcissa says, making the red haired girl frown.
"We were one. Small bit of luck," Primrose muttered angrily, crossing her arms. Narcissa tenses slightly, eyes going cold before she notices Twilfitt and Tatting's.
"We're here," The blonde woman says, opening the door for the small group.
"Lady Malfoy! What a pleasure," A slightly snotty voice speaks up. A man with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin walks up, giving Narcissa and Lucius a small bow.
"Mr. Barrows," Narcissa greets cooly. "These two were in need of something that can hold many things, but also hide it from Muggles."
The man glances down, eyes widening in shock when he sees Harry and Primrose. "Harry and Primrose Potter... such an honor."
"Oh–hello. Nice to–to meet you, sir," The twins say nervously. The man stares at them for a few intense moments before smiling.
"No need for that. My name is Edan Barrows. It is an honor for you both shopping here," Edan says, waving his hand at the expensive clothing around him. "Now, why do you two need something that can hide magic?"
"Everyone already knows we weren't given to a magic family." Primrose shrugs, making Harry nod.
"We were raised in the Muggle world. Our aunt and uncle don't... like magic," The dark haired boy explains, fidgeting with his fingers.
Primrose flinches at the anger she sees in Edan's eyes before it quickly disappears and a smile replaces it. "Well then, Mr. Potter, Ms. Potter, come this way."
The red haired girl glances up at Narcissa. The blonde woman smiles softly and nods her head towards the brunette. The young girl relaxes slightly and follows after Edan, hand gripping Harry's.
"Mr. Barrows, I suggest those two satchels for the twins," Narcissa says, elegantly pointing to two black satchels.
"They have many security charms, as well as charms to give it more room to hold things. Those two, I believe, also have a disillusioning charm," Lucius explains, Primrose and Harry perking up at the description.
"What's disslusion–disillusuioning?" Harry corrects himself, watching Edan grab the two satchels.
"A disillusioning charm is a charm that if placed, will make something, or someone, blend into its surroundings. It does not make one invisible necessarily, but camouflages one to appear 'invisible'," Lucius says, making Primrose smile brightly.
"That's amazing!" Primrose exclaims, grabbing one of the satchels.
Five minutes later, Primrose and Harry walk out of Twilfitt and Tatting's with a black satchel and a pair of formal robes each.
"Thank you, Narcissa, Mr. Malfoy. You–you didn't have to buy these for us," Harry says earnestly, messing with his satchel strap.
"No need for tha–"
"Primrose! 'arry!" Hagrid exclaims loudly in relief, walking over. Primrose smiles brightly and waves at him.
"Hi Hagrid!" The red haired girl says brightly. Her smile falters when she sees him glancing at the Malfoys nervously. She glances at Harry before forcing a smile on her face.
"This is Draco Malfoy! We met him in Madam Malkin's. His parents helped us get something that will help hide anything magic from Aunt and Uncle Dursley," She explains, making Hagrid smile down at her.
"Tha's very good, Primrose!" A few seconds of awkward silence follows. "Ah, I have somethin' for ye both!"
Hagrid reveals two bird cages. A beautiful snowy white owl sat in the left and a beautiful black barn owl in the in the right. Primrose gasps silently, eyes wide.
"I figured you'd both need an owl at Hogwarts! Happy birthday, ye two!" The giant man exclaims cheerfully, handing the snowy owl to Harry and the barn owl to Primrose. She stares at the barn owl with wide eyes, mouth slightly open.
"We've–" Primrose clears her throat, staring up at Hagrid. "We've never been given a present before."
"Thank you Hagrid," Harry adds softly, beaming up at the giant man. Hagrid blinks rapidly and smiles, patting the twins' shoulders.
"No need for thanks, Harry, Primrose! Every witch an' wizard needs a companion!" Hagrid exclaims.
"It's your birthday?" Draco asks in surprise and makes the twins jump slightly.
"Mmhmm!" Primrose hums brightly. "It's been the best birthday we've ever had!"
"The only one we've ever had..." Primrose gives Harry a small glare at the depressing fact.
"Oh! That reminds me, 'ere's yer vault key! Remember, the vault's meant ter last ye two for yer entire school education," Hagrid says, taking out the twins' vault key. Primrose smiles brightly and adjusts her shopping bags to grab the key.
"Thank you, Hagrid! We'll be careful, promise," The twins say while the fiery redhead places the key into her satchel.
"Let's go get the rest of yer school supplies!" Hagrid claps his hands and starts walking towards Flourish and Blotts.
"May we... accompany you?" Narcissa asks hesitantly, voice strained with politeness. "It's absolutely horrid that the Primrose and Harry were never educated in our world."
"Narcissa," Lucius hisses lowly. The blonde woman ignores her husband and gives Hagrid a tight smile.
"There are many books that would greatly help them become more... knowledgeable about the world the belong in," She continues, making Primrose and Harry look at each other with wide eyes. "We'll pay for the extra books of course. Consider it another birthday present for the twins."
"Well–" Hagrid coughs awkwardly and glances down at the twins pleading expressions. "–it is a shame they never learned anythin' living with those nasty Muggles. Okay, I don't see no harm in it."
Lucius was careful in keeping his annoyance and anger from showing, but Primrose could tell he wasn't pleased. She makes sure Hagrid was distracted by Harry and Draco before quietly walking next to Lucius.
"Mr. Malfoy, why don't you like Hagrid?" She asks quietly.
"It is merely for appearances, Miss Potter. I had made many... mistakes in the war that had cast me in an... unsavory light to many," Lucius explains with a small frown. Primrose narrows her eyes at him before slowly nodding after a few moments of trying to see if he was lying.
"Unsavory... like a bad light?" She asks curiously, tilting her head. The blonde man stiffly nods his head. Primrose hums and glances over at Harry and her new friend.
"But your good now, right?" She asks focusing back on the man. He pauses in his walk for only a moment before finally looking down at the red haired girl.
"We are more... grey, Primrose. Why do you ask?" Narcissa cuts in quietly, scrutinizing Primrose with her stare. The young girl blushes at the stare and averts her gaze.
"...you're nice..." Primrose shrugs and messes with her hair, keeping her eyes on the ground.
"Why did Hagrid have your vault key?" Narcissa changes the subject quickly. Primrose blinks at the sudden change before frowning.
"Hagrid said some man–Dumbledore–had given it to him to withdraw some of our money for us. We had no idea we had a whole vault to ourselves. Harry and I managed to convince Hagrid to give it to us, since it's ours and not Dumbledore's," Primrose says while crossing her arms.
"Harry and I will be coming back to Gringotts, hopefully tomorrow," She adds, messing with her shopping bags.
"Really? Alone?" Narcissa asks with a raised eyebrow. Primrose shrugs, not noticing Narcissa glancing at her husband.
"If anyone knows about anything in this world, it would be the only bank people go to here, right?" She reasons. "Besides, I wanna–want to, I want to know why Harry and I were left at the Dursleys."
"Here we are! 'arry, Primrose, still got yer lists?" Hagrid stops in front of Flourish and Blotts. Primrose smiles brightly at the bookstore and immediately rushes in with Harry.
"Let's get yer school books firs', those are mos' important!"
Primrose smiles brightly with a hand on her new bag, satchel filled with dozens of books, shopping bags, school supplies, her wand, and wand holster while her other hand carries the owl cage. She looks over at Harry with bright, sparkling eyes. They stood in the Leaky Cauldron with the Malfoys, Hagrid grabbing a small drink before they left.
"This is so cool!"
"I know Prim! Do you think we'll be able to catch up before school starts?"
"I believe we must go home. I have a meeting with the minister soon," Lucius says, glancing down at his watch. Primrose frowns slightly before giving Draco a bright smile.
"I don't know if we'll be allowed to write, but the moment we can, we'll write to you immediately!" The redheaded girl exclaims. Draco's ears turn pink as he gives the shorter girl a small smile.
"Of course. See you both at Hogwarts," Draco says before following after his father in the fireplace.
Narcissa stares at the twins with tense eyes. "When you get to Gringotts tomorrow, I suggest taking an Inheritance Test." With that said, the blonde woman left.
"Alrighty then, let's get yer both back to those nasty Muggles!" Hagrid places a hand on the twins' shoulders. Primrose frowns slightly before nodding her head. She grabs Harry's hand as they walk out of the Leaky Cauldron and into Muggle London.
It took them a bit to finally reach Private Drive with all the busy traffic and trying to find a bus that stopped near where the twins lived, but it still became a depressing sight to them when they waved Hagrid goodbye.
"Are we sure the charms on the satchels will work?" Harry asks nervously, staring at the front door of their home. Primrose takes a deep breath and nods her head.
She starts walking to the house. "Let's go. They aren't home yet."
They enter the still boarded up house with the spare key from under the floor mat and quickly rush up towards their room.
"I'll start taking down all the boards."
Primrose sets down her satchel and her owl before grabbing Harry's as he rushes back down to get to work on fixing up the house. The redheaded girl gives the two owls a small, apologetic smile.
"I'm going to let you both out, okay?" She unlocks their cages. "When you come back and you see a car in the driveway, please sneak back in through this window. I have to get cleaning before my relatives come back."
The owls hoot, seemingly understanding what the 11 year old tells them before flying up to the window sill. Primrose stumbles over and opens the window for them. When they fly out, she leaves barely enough room for them to squeeze back into the room.
"Magic. We're magic. This is... I hope it isn't a dream..." Primrose thinks, staring out of the window with bright hazel eyes. A smile grows on her face as she turns and begins to rush down the stairs.
Hopefully when their relatives come back, the punishments will be less severe. Hopefully.
Hey! So to me, this chapter seems a bit rushed, and I'm sorry if it is. I hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Bye!
