Chapter Six

Diagon Alley

Harry went to bed that nigh very excited, because one he was a Prefect at Hogwarts next year and two tomorrow was Wednesday. Harry was really excited to go to Diagon Alley and see his two friends Hermione and Ron. Harry was sure Sirus picked up some Floo Powder so he could travel to and from Diagon Alley. Harry woke up with a gigantic smile on his face. "Sirus do you mind if I go after breakfast." Harry asked Sirus after sitting down at the table.

"If you want Harry. Just remember to get your key for Gringotts. Either wise you wont be able to get money to purchase your school supplies." Replied Sirus.

"Yes. Yes Sirus I have it right her." Harry reaches into his pocket and pulls out his Gringotts key. "See I am not dumb. I picked it up before coming to the table."

"Harry just remember that you bring some extra Floo Powder. You know so Hermione and Ron can come back with you. While you are out today I will set up their rooms." Sirus said as he served Harry his breakfast.

At the end of breakfast before Harry left through the fireplace Ron's image showed up. "Harry. Hello. I just wanted to tell you that we are about to leave now. So we will get there in about an hour. You know its going to be longer since what happened to the Ford Anglia." Ron then looked down at the floor in shame.

"Hey Ron. You caught me just as I was about to leave. I will call Hermione… But I think she may have already left. Well I will be outside of Gringotts." Harry said in reply to Ron.

"Ok well see you there. Bye." With that Rons image vanished. Harry through some Floo Powder into the fireplace. He stepped in and said calmly "Diagon Alley" this time he didn't land in Knukturn Alley. He was where he wanted. He came out at Florish and Bolts. Harry pocked around he shop for a few minutes before leaving the shop and heading out to Gringotts. At Gringotts he went in and took out a handful of money. He put some in a little pouch for the year and some in his pocket for his day in Diagon Alley. When he stepped out onto the stairs of Gringotts he saw his friend Hermione.

"Hermione. Glad to see you could make it. How are you? You haven't been waiting long have you?" Harry asked the long curly brown haired girl as he saw her while stepping out of Gringotts.

"Harry. I'm fine." She ran up to give him a hug. Slowly but hesitantly she gave it to him. The two students went out to the Ice Cream Parlor for a few minutes to settle down before they left to find Ron. They continued to talk once they arrived.

"Hermione. Do you think we should continue walking? Then Ron will definitely see us." Harry said as he thought about finding Ron.

"Or we could just sonerus our voices and call for him." Hermione said giving the magical way to get things done.

"We could do that… but you see if we do then we will be breaking one Ministry of Magic rules. Now we do not want Fudge on our backs now do we Hermione." Harry said in reply to Hermione's statement.

"Well Harry we don't need a spell. We can always yell. You do know that, do you not? I mean I don't take you for an idiot. But you are acting a little odd. What is up? Are you having your feelings today?" Hermione said in response to Harry.

"No I am just a little nervous. I mean we will be prefects… and Ron will not have any priorities at all. I am kind a little sorry for the guy." Harry said to Hermione as he tells her what's bothering him.

The two continued on their way to look for Ron. When they found him he had already purchased all he needed for the year to come.

Ron ran up to Hermione and Harry with his purchases in his arms, and said. "Harry, Hermione its great to see the two of you again. How have you been?" Ron continued with the questioning until Harry and Hermione finished their shopping.

It wasn't too long after that that the three of the students arrived to the house of which they where staying. Sirus Greeted the two known faces and then went off to bed. He said that there was supper on the table waiting for them and then they could go to bed or do what ever they wished.
