This chapter is all about Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny going to Hogsmeade
to buy their school supplies. You'll meet new people, old people, good
people and the evil people! Lol Go read!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"You three look after Ginny for me, i'm going to do a bit of shopping
myself. Ron, Ginny, your money will be in the bank. Meet we here at exactly
2:00pm sharp. Understood? There's a clock on the tower up there, see you
soon sweetums." Mrs Weasley kissed Ron and Ginny, leaving Ron utterly red
in embarassment.
(This is the part where everything goes all fast and confusing, sorry, i am
really tired and need sleep // 12a.m.)
So they four head to Gringotts Bank.
First Hermione, her vault opens and there's a medium amount of wizarding
money. She gets out a few Galleons, Sickles and Knuts.
Next they went into Harry's, who got out 20 Galleons, 16 Sickles and 2
Knuts.
(2 Nuts, Knuts is prounnounced as Nuts.)
"Um, maybe you guys shouldn't come with me and Ginny." Ron said,
embarassed.
Ginny, however, didn't seem to mind.
They reached the vault, a goblin (was it a goblin? i forgot O.o;) opened
the door.
There was hardly a shine in the dull coins. There were two piles of golden
Galleons, scattered across the floor. A pile of silver Sickles and around
150 bronze Knuts. Hardly enough to support the whole family.
Harry and Hermione watched guiltily as there two friends went in and got as
little as they could.
Harry felt so sorry for the Weasleys, after all, his vault was nearly full,
compared to this vault, the Weasleys were like poor beggers while Harry a
King.
He looked over at Hermione, who was looking down at the floor, she too felt
the guiltiness inside her.
'PLEASE don't start up something like S.P.E.W!' Harry thought deperately,
'Please!'

"So we've got our books and new cloaks, what else do we need?"
The four were walking past many shops, Harry noticed a dull, black arrow
sign pointing away from Hogsmeade.
He left the group and went over, curiously, to examine it.
Harry had to brush off some dust to read it, the words were becoming clear
when -
"Harry! What're you doing? Come on, we've not much time left."
It was Hermione, Harry sighed and left the sign.
"Okay, let's go have a break. Shall we go get something to drink?"
Hermione waited for a reply, "Alright."
Everyone said.
They went over to a table while Hermione and Ginny ordered, Harry felt his
wrist.
His Time Turner was still there.
He waited for Hermione and Ginny to turn their backs, then he whispered to
Ron,
"Hey, wanna go visit someone?"
Ron, who was very tired and exhausted replied with a, "Huh?" sounding very
stupid.
"The Time Turner!!" Harry said, unpatiently.
"Oh, yeah, right. What?"
Harry sighed, how come Ron had to be born stupid?
"Oh yeah! Um, where?"
That was the response Harry was looking for.
"Dunno, you choose. And hurry, even though there's a big line (there was a
huge line there in the cafe), we still have to be quick."
"Fred and George!" Ron blurted out, looking excited.
"Where?" Harry said, oloking up to find the twins,
"No, i meant, let's go visit them at their shop! I mean, i haven't been
there yet ..."
"You haven't?"
"Nope."
Harry stood up, Ron followed.
"Are you ready?"
Harry asked Ron, he nodded.
Harry pushed the button 'Present' and said, "Fred and George Weasley's Joke
Shop!"
There was the familiar blinding light, then they heard a lot of people
talking, laughing and screaming.
They opened their eyes, they were there!
Harry heard Fred saying to a group of kids, "One of a kind! You'll never
find any of these fantabulous merchandise anywhere else! All made by us, me
and George. Tested and approved, get them now before they sell out!"
The group of kids looked dead impressed, when Fred finished talking, they
all ran into the shop, grabbing all they can afford and got to George at
the counter.
"Wow." Ron said, "Wow."
Harry could tell Ron was very impressed by his two older brothers, who had
quite a great job.
They made millions in a day, had fun testing and inventing the products,
that is so cool ...
Harry thought, maby he should go help them when he grows older?
"Let's go Ron, let's go surprise them."
Harry said to Ron, who looked absolutely stunned.
They walked over to Fred, "Whoah, Harry, Ronald, what're you doing here?"
"We decided to drop by and say hi." Harry nudged Ron, "Amazing." Ron
replied, his eyes had gotten bigger and it looked like he was drooling.
George came out from behind the counter and smiled,
"So, how's it going? Ron, stop that, it's like you're lusting over our
money and envying us."
The Weasley twins laughed, Ron snapped out of his trance and glared at his
brothers.
"Come in. Look around, choose two things and we'll give them to you free."
Harry and Ron walked into the shop, it wasn't small, not big but it had
enough room to fit half the size of Gryffindor.
There were aisles of stuff, they'd even put up signs saying what was where.
The twins left Harry and Ron to go back to their customers, who looked
satisfied with what they have seen.
"Cor, Harry, look. It's a Lipstick!"
Ron started to laugh, he held up a package of what looked like 3 different
looking lipsticks. Each was a different colour and flavour.
Harry snatched the package of Ron, who was laughing hard out.
On the back, it said that they were for boys and girls and whichever they
put on would get a different type of kiss.
"Oi Ron, you git. Listen: The red color would get you a romantic, long
french kiss."
Ron stopped laughing and got very interested,
"The yellow would give you a small peck on the cheeck or lips and the
purple would just give you a normal kiss. With the lips, no tongue."
Ron got the package and held it, "This might come in handy." He said, and
winked at Harry who snorted.
*
"Oh where are those two? They'd better be back. It's 12:30 and we've a lot
more shopping to do."
Hermione and Ginny were back at their seats, they'd been waiting for the
boys for half and hour already. They were about to leave when there was a
blinding light and there stood Harry and Ron, looking nervous and holding
some shopping bags.
Hermione and Ginny looked surprised, angry and freaked out all at the same
time.
"Where have you been, what has happened and what in the world were you
thinking?! We've been waiting for 36minutes!! We were about to leave,
explain!" Hermione's face was flushed. She breathed loudly and she looked
as if she were ging to explode.
Ginny glared at her brother and Harry, boys, she thought.
"Whoah, calm down 'Mione!" Ron started, "Me and Harry went shop-"
"SHOPPING?! WHAT ABOUT THAT LIGHT? YOU CAN'T'VE APPARATED, SO WHAT
HAPPENED???"
