Back to School Shopping
The group of now chattering girls left the pub and returned tpo the sunny cobble stone streets of Diagon Ally. Selphie was telling every one about how Amos Diggeroy had made fun of harry Potter so maybe he was a death eater."Well Draco and I don't like him." Amber insisted "No offence" Jes said "but that only helps Selphie's case. your family maybe pure but it has quite a history." Amber's cold eyes narrowed. If there was one thing to be said for the Malfoys they stook up for eachother. "Hey" Alana said tentativly "Who's teaching D.A.D.A. this year?" "No idea." Shayn ahelped "how 'bout you two?" Amber broke the staring contest. "I don't know." "Let's get some icecream" Jes sudjested "yea, but firts we need out books."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour or so latter the girls had been through Flourish and Blotts to get their books and were sitting out side of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor eating icecream.,/p
"We need dress robes this year. I wonder why." Jes commented "I heard there was going to be a wedding or somthing." Selphie began "oh not again" Amber sighed lying her head down on the table "no listen you guys Dumbledore and McGonnal always seem to be ..."
"Gossiping again Selphie?" a familiar voice asked The girls turned to see a group of Ravenclaws, standing in front was Cho Chang. Shayna and Cho had loathed eachother from the first year. They had gotten into fights durring Quiditch matches and dipped eachother's hair in ink wells in the beging. It had grown into envading eachother's dorms and covering them with shaveing cream. And last year when Cedric ate lunch with Shayna Cho "acidently" spilled babitubber puss all over her neck the following herbology.
Shayna rose from her chair. "Eves dropping Cho? What's the matter, ravenclaw brains to slow to pick up on stuff for yourselves?" Cho was silent "Not so confident after Draco got that snitch from you last year huh?"Amber smiled
"I had a bad ankle." she rationaliszed "That's not all that's bad about you." Alana tried to help out
"Cho smiled now too. "We'll get you Slytherins this year." "Not on that comet 260 you won't." Shayna laughed "Like you've even got a twig to fly." she said cooly That familiar Slytherin grin slid across Shayna's face. "I've got a few twigs up my sleeve."
The Slyhterin girls burst into laugher. "Bad pun" Cho and the Ravenclaws began to walk away. "see you at Hogwarts" Jes called after them
The girls finished their ice cream and at the sight of the Krums Shayna quickly hurried them away. The girls walked pasted the shops with witches and wizards haggling for prices. Amber had begun to tell everyone about the Quiditch world cup. "And them the Irish seeker" "He's the cute one right?" Jes interupted Amber rolled her eyes impatiently "what ever" she said "come one I gotta pick some stuff up." She motioned for the girls to follow her to the left. Shayn alooked upward and read the sign. "Knockturn Ally" She shook her head "have fun girls."
"Oh come on!" Selphie said in exasperation "Look" Jes said slightly nicer "We know you don't like the dark arts for some reason, but" "But you're going over board." Amber cut in "The dark arts aren't gonna kill anybody." "Look" Shayna said hopelessly "You guys go. I gotta get Salazar some treats, he's real pissed about the box thing."
And so the rest of the girls disappeared around the corner and Shayna made her way to the Magical Menagerie. They just didn't understand. The dark arts was just a game to them they'd never seen it in the real world. They just thought it was fun. All the excitment of whispering in dark coridors. The love of looking into the faces in the masses and thinking they knew what was really going on.
Shayna stepped into the store. "Can I help you?" a bot asked "Yes I need a package of sneats." The dark haired boy smiled. "Snake lover are you?" She crinckeled her nose as she nodded. He was pretty cute now that she thought about it. True his hair was a bit too long, but he had the cutest puppy dog eyes.
"Here you go miss. That'll be 9 sickles." Shayna handed him the money and picked up the paper bag. "What house are you in?" she asked him He opened his mouth nervoucly but another voice came out. "Waren!" "My boss" he explained walking awayShe shurged and spun around. On her way to the door she walked into something and fell hard on her butt. "Sorry are you O.k." the something asked her Shayna looked up and couldn't believe her eyes.
Smiling down at her with those lovely green eyes was Brad Vanker a fellow Slytherin. His blonde hair wa spiked up as usual. Brad was a funny popular guy, and the only one Shayna had ever liked. "Shayna are you o.k." She blinked and realise he had his hand extended to help her up. "Sorry Brad" she said her high cheek bones burning pink.
Suddenly screaming voices filled the air. the girls had returned and were out side, noses pressed against the window. They were all smiling and calling out things like "OW!" and "GO SHAYNA!" She blushed even more. "I'd better go." "Yea see ya at dinner tomarrow." "What?" "At Hogwarts ..." "Oh right."
The bell on the door rang as Shayna tripped out into the street were her friends exploded into laughed. Why was it that every time she wanted to be graceful she clutzedout?
