Draco Malfoy stepped out of Gringotts and into the warm sunlight. The light
glinted off of his white-blonde hair as he made his way down the steps. He
was wearing black trousers and shirt with a Slytherin green cloak thrown
over top. His hair, like it had been from the first day of his first year,
was slicked back.
He stepped off of the stairs and into the street. He smiled a sly, cunning
smile as he looked over the shops.
Nerissa has stepped out of the bank just after the boy with the pointed
face. She tied her hunter green money pouch on a belt loop and pulled a
carefully folded list from her back pocket. She read over her list trying
to decide which store to enter first.
The blonde and raven-haired students both made their way into Flourish &
Blotts. As the blonde opened the door for himself Nerissa darted in and
thanked him for opening the door, though she knew he didn't intend for her
to go first. He scowled and headed up to the Restricted Section of the
store. Being of legal wizarding age he was allowed there now.
As the scowling boy made his way up the narrow stairs, Nerissa headed to
the counter. Being as new to Diagon alley as she was she wasn't quite sure
where to gather the books she required. She walked to the shelves near the
stairs leading to the Restricted Section as she had been directed. The
Restriced Section. Now that sounded interesting.
*****
Draco scowled as the dark haired girl walked past him into the shop. He
wasn't opening the door for her! Oh well, too late now. He knew the store
fairly well, having been inside several times over the years and went
straight for the Restricted Section. The shop-keep couldn't kick him out
this year!
He quickly found a book to look at and stood in a corner of the room leaned
up against the wall. The book was simply black with a white skull printed
upon it. His grey eyes boring into the book he didn't notice the girl from
before coming up the stairs.
She pushed her silky hair from her eyes and looked at the boy, "Interesting
book?"
He looked up at her. "Wouldn't you like to know." he said harshly as was
his style and looked back into the book.
She narrowed her eyes, "Actually, that is why I was asking." she smirked
and added cooly, "Obviously."
Draco stuffed the book back onto the shelf and stood to his full height. He
walked over to another corner of the room, ignoring the girl and pulled out
another book.
Undeterred, she walked over to him and he glanced up at her. "Cranky
much?!" she stated.
"Cranky?" He looked at her, brows raised. "Could you be a *little* bit more
nosy?" He looked back down at the book.
"Well... excuse a new girl for trying to meet people." she said with a bite
to her voice. She pulled a book entitled 'Pullus' from the shelf and
nodding approval at it, turned to go back to the first floor.
He watched her start to leave but spoke up, "Wait." She turned around and
held out the book he had been holding. "If you want that book this one is
good too." His voice was still harsh as he spoke.
Nerissa turned around slowly and walked back to the pale boy, her leather
boots clicking on the hardwood floor. She reached a hand out to take the
book. "Well, thank you..." shelooked lost for a second before continuting,
"I'm sorry, I don't believe I know your name."
"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." He stated in a superior tone. "And yourself?"
"Nerissa Honey. I transferred from Canada."
"Oh, really?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "Going to Hogwarts this year
then?" He attempted to run his fingers through his hair.
Nerissa fiddled with her books. "Yes. I decided to study abroad this year.
The only thing I am dreading is to be sorted with the first years...
Everyone will stare." she grinned.
"Oh, you'll get stares," he snickered. "See ya." He brushed past her and
down the stairs. On his way down he grabbed a book from the wall and
slipped it into his pocket. Without a backwards glance, he headed out of
the store.
She grinned. What a bad thing to do, shoplifting. Heading up to the counter
to pay for her texts, she wondered what dormitory he was in and where she
would be placed.
*****
Draco walked from the store wondering what that girl was doing just
randomly talking to him like that. 'Pretty girls never talk to me, just
because.' he thought. He shook his head clear and headed for the Quidditch
shop.
He opened the doors and walked in. Nerissa had seen the flash of blonde
enter the store and decided she would go in too. She needed a broom keeping
kit and maybe she could get a book on Quidditch.
Draco slipped past the people heading out of the shop and went to the
magazine rack. The newest addition to his favorite magazine had a picture
of Viktor Krum on the cover. Draco picked it up and flipped through it for
a minute before heading over to the newest broom on display. The
Thunderbolt. 'This is a great broom. I will get Father to buy it for me...
I will beat POtter for sure then.' he thought.
Nerissa walked up behind the blonde. "That is a wonderful broom." she said
and he whipped around.
"Oh. It's you again." he said sounding irritated. "My father is buying me
one later." he said matter-of-factily, knowing that his father would most
likely get him one. He pushed past the girl and headed out of the store.
"I have one myself, they are very good!" she called out after him.
Draco completely ignored her comments and continued on to get a new set of
dress and school robes since his others are all now too short.
