Hey, would you look at that! I already uploaded the second chapter.
Keep reviewing!
(to answer your question btw; this IS after the fifth book, so it's sixth year. And you remember Lupin warning uncle Vernon in the end of book 5? That's what I ment.)
Chapter 2: Back in Diagon Alley
Harry awoke very early the next day, he was very excited to see his friends again. His trunk was already packed. He dressed and took it downstairs, which wasn't a good idea.
His uncle was already awake and looked at him as if he was insane. "Go make breakfast, boy! Don't drag junk around the house!" uncle Vernon demanded.
"I beg your pardon? Didn't we have a deal about you bossing me around?" Harry said with a raised eyebrow.
His uncle became very pale. "I ... sorry, I didn't want to offend you, don't say it to any of those,... people of your kind ... " he apologized quickly.
"Besides, I don't have time to make breakfast. The Weasleys are about to arrive' Harry added.
The bell rang.
He ran to the door and opened it, revealing one of his best friends, Ron Weasley.
"Hey, Harry! How are you, mate?" greeted Ron him.
"I'm okay, how about you? Did you have a nice vacation?" asked Harry with interest.
"I worked the whole vacation in Fred and George's jokeshop, as I already wrote to you." he said gritting his teeth.
"Oh, well did you get something for your work?" Harry asked curiously
"No, not a single Knut, just yellow hair and a lot of bumps in my face." Growled Ron.
"Oh,... well ... anyway, is Hermione meeting us in Diagon Alley?"
"Yes, I think she is,... she wasn't very clear about it in her letter." said Ron, looking around.
"Oh, well let's go, I'm not staying here, that's for sure." Harry said and picked up his trunk.
Harry entered the car and greeted Fred, George and Ginny. Ginny had a big smile on her face and they all greeted him enthousiast. Harry was surprised Ginny was so bright and cheery, it almost seemed as if she was in love or something. Ron entered as well and closed the door.
"Are you driving?" asked Harry bemused when he found out George was sitting behind the steering wheel.
"Yeah, me and my bro both got permission to drive! Dumbledore trusted us to the job! We've got to drive all kinds of people around these days ... " explained Fred.
"It's time we asked money for it! We've got our hands filled with work anyway!" added George.
"Your jokeshop right?" asked Harry.
" Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, to be exact!" grinned George.
They arrived at the Leaky Cauldron and went straight to Diagon Alley, without even paying attention to all the witches and wizards, who looked at Harry as if he was frontpage news.
In fact, he WAS frontpage news.
"You didn't read the Daily Prophet, now did you?" Fred asked.
"I didn't,... " Harry answered and George opened his trunk in reply.
"I have a copy ... read the frontpage" and he handed the Daily Prophet to Harry.
Harry unfolded the paper and began to read the frontpage;
-*-
HARRY POTTER IS THE MOST SEXY WIZARD THIS YEAR -*-
Harry's eyes almost popped out. He coughed and read on.
-*-
After few interviews with students of Hogwarts, asking what they thought about Harry Potter, most witches (and even some wizards too) answered he was the most sexy wizard around. After hearing this, our newspaper thought it would be time to make a poll for the sexiest wizard this year! The poll was held on the internet, a famous invention of the Muggles, but also used very often by wizards.
these are the results:
The most sexy wizard of the year:
1. Harry Potter (44%)
2. Draco Malfoy (36%)
3. Viktor Kruml (20%)
-*-
Harry raised his eyebrows in surprise and Ron started laughing "VIKTOR? Hahaha! And they forgot to put me up!"
Fred and George pointed out that Draco was on the second place. "They probably messed with it!" said Fred darkly.
"Yeah,... who thinks Draco is sexy anyway?" Ron asked sarcasticly.
"I think so!" Pansy Parkinson said from behind them.
"Pansy,... well, you're probably the only one. How many times DID you vote anyway?" Harry asked, not surprised.
"I wasn't the only one, you know! ALL girls from Slytherin voted for him. It's OBVIOUS that he is most attractive, but you probably voted for yourself, didn't you Potty?" she said with a high pitched voice.
Ron, Fred, George and Harry began to laugh and Pansy started to scream 'You are all IDIOTS!!!'
"Whats going on here? Did I miss something?" it was Hermione's voice.
Harry and Ron stopped laughing and looked at Hermione and she looked back at them, with her eyebrows raised.
"What happened to YOU?" Ron asked, looking at her hair.
"Why? Don't you like it?" Hermione asked with a rather sad expression on her face as she threw her hair back.
'Well, it's a lot ... more straight, but still a bit frizzy,... but I like it, sure.' Ron said apologising and took another look at her.
'I like it, it sure makes you look ... more adult.' Harry said, trying to comfort her a little.
Hermione threw a surprising look at him when she read the frontpage title. First, she started to laugh, but then she narrowed her eyes. 'You didn't see this coming? After what they wrote in the last issue-'
Harry just wanted to remind her he didn't read the Daily Prophet when he saw someone familiar; Hagrid.
"Look it's Hagrid!" Harry said to them.
Hagrid came over. "'ello Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny. 'ad a nice summer?"
"It was a bit dull, how about you? Did you go anywhere for the Order?" asked Harry interested.
"I went to France, to visit Madame Maxim." Hagrid said, appearing to be very proud of it.
"How was she?" Hermione asked with curiousity.
"Jus' fine." Hagrid replied.
"We'll go searching for some ingredients we need, you know, for our store." Fred said, dragging George away from the group
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming already!" George replied, almost tripping over his feet. Hermione looked at Ginny, but Ginny just stood where she was.
"We,... uh,... should get some books too.' Hermione insisted.
Harry sighed and Ron gave her a very boring look "You're always so right ... "
"I know I am." she said alert and dragged Harry and Ron with her. Ginny came walking after them and Hagrid waved goodbye "I have to buy some food for the new creatures I got this morning already" he explained.
"the first new book,... Magical Music." Hermione said and Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Is THAT a subject?" he asked surprised and Harry gave him a strange look.
"Of course it is, or else she wouldn't say so, besides, it's on your list." replied Harry.
"You really AREN'T very smart with listening or reading." Hermione sighed.
"Well, I'M SORRY!" Ron said angry and threw a filthy look at Harry. Harry just ignored and they walked into 'Flourish and Blotts'.
After collecting all the new books, Harry, Hermione and Ron, still followed by Ginny, sat down at a table in front of a new bar called 'The Glory Day'.
"I wonder,... last year was very hard for us,... what will this year bring?' Hermione started.
"I hope that it will be peacefull,... we had so many troubles already, especially Harry." Ron said and Harry shook his head.
"I think we get a very hard year,... remember, Voldemort still is out there ..." He said darkly.
Ron and Ginny both looked frightened when they heared Voldemort's name. Hermione just sighed and Harry frowned.
Hermione looked at him carefully "I know you still are sad about,... last year,... but this year it's really going to be different, I'm possitive."
"And what makes you so possitive?" Harry asked, getting annoyed.
"Well,... Viktor is coming to our school this year,..." she started with flushed cheeks.
"And THAT's suppose to make me FEEL BETTER?!?" Harry said, very angry.
Hermione looked the other way "It does make ME feel better ... "
Ron sat back into his chair and gave her a very sarcastic look "of COURSE, cuz Vikky is going to SAVE us all from,... he-who ... well, you-know-who"
Ginny laughed and started to talk too "Hermione's a bit confused today, I heard that Viktor's got a NEW girlfriend"
Hermione looked attacked and rapidly answered with "That's not any of YOUR bussiness!"
Harry and Ron looked very surprised at eachother and Ginny just laughed.
Hermione stood up and grabbed her bag "I'm leaving!" she said briskly "I understand Ginny is a much more suitable company for you!" and with that, she walked away.
Ron sighed and looked rather annoyed "NOW who's going to tell us what other stuff we need to buy?"
Harry just looked at his list. "I think we got all the things already,... "
Ginny just watched him fold up the list again. Harry felt a little confused, he was still with his mind on last year.
Ginny reminded them of the time and they got their bags together.
