The Ancestors Call

By Princess Hermione

Chapter 3

Diagon Alley

Harry awoke on the 28th ,at 10:00, still sore and tired from last nights beating. They were regular, but he had learned to ignore the pain. He also had pain from the three tattoos on his forearm.

"BOY! If you want to go that place, be down in 10 minutes," Aunt Petunia's shrill voice came from beyond the door, with the distinct sound of the door being unlocked. Harry quickly slid out of bed, and changed into one of his few sets of clean, whole clothes.

He quickly headed downstairs to wait for his uncle. A few minutes later he came down, and set off for the car without looking at Harry. Harry quickly followed and hopped in the back seat. Uncle Vernon was silent all the way there.

When he came to a halt outside the Leaky Cauldron, Vernon spoke.

"Be out here at 2 pm," then he drove away. Harry quickly hurried into the Leaky Cauldron and into Diagon Alley. He headed to Gringotts, where he spotted Ron and Hermione, standing with Ron's family.

"Hi, guys," he greeted them as he came up. They smiled. The three of them headed up the stairs and into the building. First they went to Ron's vault, where Mrs. Weasley collected the money, and then to Harry's. Harry quickly scooped his money into his bag, trying to block the Weasley's from seeing it. He didn't succeed, and he heard gasps behind him. When he turned, Ron was gaping at the money in the vault. Harry didn't say anything as they headed back and stepped into the sunshine.

"So, where first?" Hermione asked.

"Madame Malkins, I've outgrown my robes," Harry said. They headed there, where Harry got new robes. Then they went to Flourish and Blotts, where they got their school books. Harry also got a book on duelling. They all got ink, quills and parchment for the coming year, and then headed to Apocathery. They restocked on their potions kits, and then headed to the pet stores. They restocked their animal treats.

Once they had all their school stuff, they headed to Florean (A/N: Did I spell that right) Fortescue Ice-Cream Parlour.

"So, Hermione, why do you go to Tae Kuan Do classes?" Harry inquired.

"My father wants me too, besides I enjoy doing it," Hermione replied.

"What is going on here?" Ron asked, bewildered.

"Hermione goes to martial arts classes, as do I with Dudley," Harry shrugged. Ron nodded.

"Oy!" they heard a voice call. Fred and George were just coming out of the joke shop, and were heading over to them.

"Hi! What do you do in there?" Harry inquired.

"We were selling some of the stuff we recently made," Fred shrugged. Harry nodded. They spotted Mr and Mrs Weasley heading over, along with Ginny. They sat down. This was the first opportunity Harry had to see Ginny up close. She had developed very well. She had slim, slender figure, and her red hair was long and flowed gently down her back. The mini skirt and spaghetti strap she wore showed her figure very well. She was beautiful! Her startling brown eyes looked up into his green ones. He smiled,

"Hi, Ginny!" he greeted her.

"Hi, Harry," she replied, smiling.

"So, Harry," Fred's voice broke in, "how is life with the Dursleys?" Harry tore his gaze away from Ginny and looked at Fred.

"Fine, it's not the greatest, but I'm surviving," he lied. He glanced at his watch, it showed 1:50,

"I gotta go guys," he said, standing up, "Bye!"

"Bye Harry," Ron and Hermione called.

"Bye, Harry," Ginny called after him.

Harry arrived outside the Leaky Cauldron just before his uncle pulled up. He hopped in and put his stuff in. They drove off, back towards the Dursleys house.

A/N: There, another chapter finished!! Pleas give me your opinions with the little button down there. Also, I'm sorry to those H/Hr fans, but I'm a fan of H/G and R/Hr, so the majority of my stories will be those.

A/N: I'll try to update soon, as the next chapter will go straight to Platform 9¾. So sorry about those who wanted to see another Tae Kwan Do class, but I really want to get on to the main part of the story. *smirks*
