Chapter Six: Return to Diagon Alley
A/N: Interesting things happen. That's all I can really say. Oh, and thanks for the reviews! You really DO love me (OK, maybe you don't . . .)!
Anyone get the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets VHS/DVD yet? I did! I got it yesterday. The deleted/additional scenes are boring though, except for the one where Draco and his father go to Borgin and Burkes.
Tom Felton is to DIE for! He's so hot! Personally, I think he looks better when he's not Draco and when his hair's all messy and spiky . . . but that's just me!
I finally have Spring Break! By now, every other school has probably already ended Spring Break. My school is evil . . .
Note to Enter the Red Age: Katie Holmes sang that song? Hmm . . . I wouldn't know; I don't watch Dawson's Creek either. Well, it's one of my favorites songs as well. ^_^
Disclaimer: Honestly, I don't own Harry Potter. Geesh. You'd think y'all would listen . . .

"Your mother and I will be away for the rest of this month so I expect you two will be able to get to Diagon Alley and King's Cross without us," said Lucius.
"Yes, Father. I'm sure we'll be able to manage," Draco said. Narcissa gave him a large bag of gold and they both Apparated. Draco sighed and drank some orange juice. "I thought they would NEVER leave."
"OK . . . well, are we Flooing or something?" Harry asked, looking at his watch.
"Yeah. Let's leave in . . . 15 minutes, or so," Draco replied, taking a piece of toast from one of the house-elves. Harry nodded and went up to his room. This would be the last time he would see it. He grabbed a bag and saw all of the stuffed animals on his bed.
"'Bye Freak, Asshole, Geek, Nerd, Stupid, Glob, Muck, Steve, Bob, Moose, Chocolate, Chip, Cookie, Dough, Ice, Cream . . . 'Devil's Spawn'. I'll miss you all over the school year," Harry said. He then walked back downstairs with his suitcases and bags.
"Er, we'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron for the next few days and then we'll go to King's Cross," Draco said thickly. His mouth was stuffed with eggs and bacon.
"All right," Harry said simply, yawning every once in awhile. When it was 9:00 a.m, Draco and Harry walked to the fireplace in the large lounge. Draco took a gold vase that was on a pillar next to it, opened it, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and threw it into the flames. The fire turned a bright emerald green color.
"Diagon Alley!" Draco exclaimed. The flames immediately took him. Harry took a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the flames. The fire was roaring higher. Harry put the vase back onto the pillar and turned to the fire.
"Diagon Alley!" And off he went . . .
* * *
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter. So nice to see you both," said Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. "Let me take your bags and I'll show you both to your room. Tom smiled, exposing some of his missing teeth. Harry had always thought Tom looked like a big walnut, already cracked in some places. Harry and Draco quickly followed after Tom as he walked quickly upstairs.
"Here's your room, Mr. Malfoy," Tom said. He showed them a large room filled with green furniture. Draco walked into his room and shut the door loudly.
"And, Mr. Potter, here's yours," Tom said, opening the door and putting Harry's suitcases inside. His room was even larger than Dracos. A cracking fire lit up the beautiful, spacious room.
"Enjoy your stay." Harry immediately walked around, checking it out. The room had a large, queen-sized bed, a dresser, a night table, a desk and desk light, a large WWN set, and a big dinner table, a big gift-basket on top. Harry walked into the bathroom. It had a very large bathtub, a marble sink, a crystal chandelier, and another WWN set. Harry walked out of the bathroom and lied down on his bed.
"Potter! Hurry it up!" Harry got up reluctantly and walked out of the door.
* * *
After a quick stop at Gringotts, Harry and Draco walked to Flourish and Blotts. It was crowded with loads of people, getting their schoolbooks they assumed.
"Bewitch Your Buddies. Maybe I should get that . . . "
"Spruce Up Your Love Life . . . Honey! I was just looking . . ." Harry was trying to walk away from the big crowd of people when he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry-"
"No, it's OK," Harry interrupted. It was Mudblood Granger. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Granger?" She rolled her eyes.
"I said I was sor-"
"Well, 'sorry' doesn't cut it, Mudblood," Harry said nastily, sneering at her.
"HEY! What do you think you're DOING, POTTER?" It was Weasel, coming to the rescue.
"Oh, look, your hero's here," Harry said, smirking. Granger's face turned scarlet.
"R-Ron, it was nothing," Hermione said hastily, trying to walk away.
"Right," Ron said, obviously very suspicious. But he did leave with Hermione, although reluctantly.
"Always causing trouble," said a voice. It was Lillie.
"Oh, hey Lils, and I wasn't. Mudbl-"
"Yeah, whatever," Lillie interrupted, smirking. Lillie kept glancing at a guy beside her.
"Who's he?" Harry asked, indicating the guy.
"Harry, I want you to meet Phoenix Tyler. Phoenix, this is Harry Potter," said Lillie, clutching Phoenix's arm. Phoenix gave a small smile to Harry. Harry shot him an icy glare. His smile quickly diminished.
"And, you two are just friends, RIGHT?" Harry asked, slightly angry. There was a large pause.
"Y-yeah, we met at the Quidditch World Cup," Lillie said, hoping Harry wouldn't strangle Phoenix. Harry became slightly less angry.
"What House are you in?" Harry asked, forcing a smile that came out as a rather unpleasant smirk.
"Er, S-Slytherin," Phoenix said, gulping nervously.
"Y-yeah, he's a Slytherin, Harry," Lillie said, a weak smile on her face.
"Ah, a Slytherin, eh? At least you're not a Hufflepuff . . . or worse, a Gryffindork," Harry said. Lillie looked totally relieved with a hint of guilt on her face. Harry and Draco usually hated all of Lillie's boyfriends, mainly because they weren't Slytherins.
"Er, well, see you soon then. Tell Draco I said 'hi'," Lillie said, walking away quickly with Phoenix. Harry searched his mind, trying to remember meeting or seeing Phoenix before. Harry's eyes narrowed as he remembered him.
Phoenix was a Gryffindor.

Draco's heart melted when he saw Sarah standing inside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. He could feel 'butterflies' in his stomach, fluttering away with no care for his organs. He gulped nervously as he took out the letter he had written for her. Draco slowly walked in and smiled, seeing her ordering. He cleared his throat and walked over to her. He blinked continually and smiled widely.
"Er-Sar-I mean, hey baby," Draco said, in a trying-to-be-smooth-but- it's-clearly-not-working voice. Sarah turned around and smiled slightly.
"Um, hi, Draco Malfoy, right? Sarah said, now grinning broadly.
"I, uh, wanted to give you something," Draco said, handing her the note. She took it from him and slowly opened it. As she read the letter, her smile diminished and a furious, disgusted look appeared on her beautiful, usually glowing face.
"You're DISGUSTING!" Sarah yelled at him and ran out. Everyone in the parlor turned to see who was so disgusting. There were a few snickers here and there. A confused, shocked look appeared on Draco's face. Sarah had dropped the letter on the floor. He picked it up and read:
* * *
Hey Sarah-
I think you're totally hot and I'm surprised we haven't, er, hooked up yet. You have a great body and nice, uh, 'features'.
So, why don't you come over to the Slytherin Common Room sometime? We could go to the dorm and have some . . . fun.
Draco
* * *
"What the-" Then one person came into mind. "Potter." Draco's eyes narrowed as he saw Potter standing outside with Lavender Brown. He walked out, a forced smile on his furious face. Harry noticed him and walked away from Lavender, waving.
"So, what's up then?" Harry asked, grinning. A pink mouth print was on his cheek.
"WHY did you change MY letter?" Draco said, his anger seething through.
"YOUR letter? I thought it was for Rian," Harry said, obviously not catching on.
"I wrote it for HER," Draco said angrily, glaring.
"Does it look like I give shit?" Harry said.
"You . . . you ASSHOLE!" Draco exclaimed. He immediately swung his arm at Harry, punching the side of his cheek. Harry overcame with extreme anger (A/N: Ooh, CATFIGHT!).
"What the FUCK!?" Harry exclaimed, punching Draco's right eye. It immediately started swelling up.
"WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" It was Lillie, like usual. She always seemed to appear when anything bad or wrong happened. "You two weren't fighting, were you?" Harry nodded solemnly. Draco glared at Harry but turned to Lillie, an ashamed look on his face.
"I can't believe you two," Lillie said, obviously disappointed in them both. "You guys are such . . ."
"Assholes? Bastards? GUYS?" Saffron said, appearing next to Lillie. She looked at Harry and Draco in disbelief. Draco was ashamed when he saw Saffron's disappointed face.
"Guys can be so fucking stupid!" Lillie said loudly.
"Hey, it's not MY fault that Malfoy over there can't take a little fucking joke," Harry said, glaring at Draco angrily.
"You embarrassed me in front of Sarah . . ." Draco said slowly, his voice drifting off. "I'll get revenge on you, Potter. You know I will."
"She's just one girl, Malfoy. Get OVER it," Harry said, rolling his eyes. Draco could be so weird sometimes. Most of the female population of Hogwarts would do anything to get with him and he was turning it all down for one chick. Whatever.
"Just be glad Lillie stopped us," Draco said. Lillie had a proud smile on her face.
"Well, now that that's over, who wants to help me shop for new dress robes?"

A/N: So . . . how was the chapter? Good, bad, middling? C'mon! Tell me by reviewing! Oh, and the chapter to watch out for is chapter seven (the next chapter for all of you who can't count). It's pretty long (in my standards ^_^) and has loads of stuff . . . might get boring though. Bye y'all!
