Early Christmas Shopping

'Harry! Harry, get up!' someone called nudging Harry awake.

'Mmmm? Whassa matter?'.

'Get up'.

Harry opened his eyes and put his glasses on. He saw his father standing over him.

'The Weasley's wanted to know if we would like to go and drink something in Diagon Alley, they wanted you to come'.

'What time is it?'.

'10 already'.

'Yeah, fine by me. Let me get dressed okay?'.

'Sure'.

James stood up and walked away. Harry climbed out of bed and pulled his robes on, wich were lying in a heap on the floor. Harry had a terrible headache, he had a bit to much to drink last night together with Colin. Harry brushed his hand trough his hair and walked down. Sirius and James were sitting on the couch, softly talking to each other. They looked up when they saw Harry coming down.

'I asked Colin to come also, he should be here any minute now' James said.

'Thanks dad'.

Harry smiled weakly. After 3 minutes Colin came into the livingroom.

'Hey Colin, how's your head?'.

'Sick' Colin said grinning.

'Yeah, I know what you're going trough'.

'Let's get going then' James said standing up.

They walked to the fireplace and used floopowder to get to Diagon Alley. The Weasley's, now existing of 23 members, were waiting for them in the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione and Ginny hugged Harry tightly. They hadn't seen him for a long time. Harry greeted all of them. Harry was glad to see that they all were very happy, unlike him. Well, he was happy, he just missed Draco. Harry wished he heared something from him. He just wanted to know if he was alright, or if he was dead. Then he could go on with his life. Harry wiped these thoughts from his mind, he wasn't going to think about that now. Today was going to be fun. Ron decided to go early christmas shopping with Harry and Colin. They left the Leaky Cauldron and went to the jewerly. Ron wanted to buy a necklace for Hermione. Harry and Colin helped him pick out one. Suddenly Harry stopped and he looked at a ring. It was almost the same as the one he got from Draco, only this one was engraved with emeralds. Harry looked at his own ring. Ron didn't notice anything, but Colin looked from Harry to Harry's ring and then to the ring on the table.

'Come on Harry'.

'No, when he bought this, he must have been close by! Why didn't he visit? He took the risk to buy this, why couldn't he have taken the risk to visit me?'.

'Harry, you are acting stupid, you know he couldn't'.

'Oh, I know, but I miss him so much! It's eating me from the inside, Colin, it is!'.

Colin hugged him.

'Shhh Harry, make this a nice day, don't think about him for once' Colin said comforting.

Harry nodded and he and Colin walked to the counter where Ron was paying for the necklace. Harry walked away suddenly and came back a little later.

'Where did you go?' Colin asked.

'I'm buying it. In case I ever see him again' Harry whispered.

He paid for the ring and put the box in his pocket. The three of them left the shop and went to get some other presents.
