Harry and Ron go to Diagon Ally.

It was the 25 of August, and it was the day Harry and the Weasly's would be going to Diagon Ally to meet Hermione, Harry and Ron were awoken by Mrs. Weasly at 10:00, along with Fred, George and, Percy. "Up boys, we need to eat, shower and go go." Said Mrs.Weasly as she neatened up Ron's room a bit, "Mum, 5 more minutes please .." Ron mumbled "Now Ron, I gave you 5 minutes, five minutes ago, up now."

Ron got out of bed, Harry just laying there to tired to move, "Come one Harry, up you go, I expect to see you both downstairs in ten minutes." And with that Mrs.Weasly left the room. Harry got dressed "I'm really tired, but excited, we go back to Hogwarts in a few more days, and we are going to see some friends today." Said Ron. "And I thought you kind of didn't want to go back Ron." Smiled Harry, "Well, I don't know, I want to go back now." Said Ron. "Ron, who do you like?" Ron halted "What?" he asked, "Who do you like? Anyone?" Ron smiled and blushed a bit "Harry when I figure out who I like you'll be the first to know."

"Haha, Ok." Harry said. "What about you Mr. Popularity?" Ron asked. "Hey now, I am not that popular at all, Now Cedric is popular, but I don't know, I guess I really like Cho Chang." Harry added. "Yeah yeah." Ron said laughing. "Hey Ron, you should try out for Quidditch this year, you'd be great, I mean you play with your brothers, and you aren't bad, if you want to get some attention that desperately." "Haha, very funny Harry. You know I could never make it, but you do have a point, I think I will try for the fun of it, if I get the courage." Ron said back, "Great!" Harry said. Ron nodded and they headed down stairs.

"Morning boys." Said Mr.Wealy. "Morning" They muttered. Everyone except Fred and George were at the table, "Here you go you two." Said Mrs.Wealy handing them some breakfast. "Thanks mum." Said Ron, "Thanks Mrs.Weasly." She smiled "Not a problem BOYS GET DOWN HERE!" Harry heard foot steps from upstairs "Coming! Chill down mum!" One of them yelled, Mrs.Weasly muttered "Yeah, I show you chilled." And sat down to eat.
After breakfast- Everyone had finished their breakfast, now it's fight over the shower time, every one including Mr. Weasly was about to bolt up stiars until ... "HOLD IT!" Yelled Mrs.Wealy. "Now, I know you all want to go to the showers, but we only have two, so since Harry is the guest, him and ron go first, then you Fred and George, got it?" "Awh mom, why do I have to go last?" Shouted Ginny. "Don't worry Ginny dear, you'll have your turn." She huffed and walked into the livingroom.

"Come on Harry, I'll take the one on the second floor, you can have the third floor." ---Time for Diagon Ally.

Once everyone was showered, and ready to go The weasly's and Harry all gathered in the living room, "Ok, so I suspect we all know how to use floo powder now?" Everyone laughed. "Yes." They replied. "Ok good Ron you first, then Harry, Ginny, and so forth." Harry stepped forward took the floo powder and stepped into the fire place "Meet you there Harry." Said Ron waving, Harry laughed "Sure .. ok Diagon Ally!"

* bright green light * BAM

Once again Harry was in the Green firey lights, It was warm, and it gave him a tingling feeling he was spinning when finally

He had reached Diagon Ally, he wiped some of the soot off of him and waited there for everyone else, It wasn't pouring here like it was in the muggle world, but it was raining a bit 'maybe the storm hasn't reached here yet, maybe it's coming' He dropped that thought almost instantly, when he heard a * crack * and Ron appeared, "Harry, you made it to the right place this time!" he said jokingly, "Shut up, Ron" Harry said laughing. Ron looked around "Wow, it's kind of packed, and raining a bit." Ron said, Harry then remembered, "Oh do you think the rain has reached here yet? I mean like fully like in the muggle world?" Harry asked "I don't know, it could be coming, but it could be passing through too." He replied 'I haven't thought of it that way' Just the Fred and George appeared.

"Hey, it's not raining a lot." Said Fred, "Yeah thank god." George snapped, They all looked at the streets full of witches and wizards, old and young, Harry even spotted some people he knew "I wonder where Hermione is," Ron asked, Harry shrugged. And just then they heard, "RON, HARRY! Hey!" They both looked to where they heard the voice and saw Hermione running up to them, she looked different, she was an inch taller, and her hair longer and a little straighter, she wasn't so pale anymore, and her eyebrows were less bushy, Harry thought she looked kind of pretty, maybe even a lot but they are friends, best friends.

Hermione hugged Harry and Ron, and waved to fred and George just then the rest of the Weasly's appeared. "Hey Hermione, how have you been this summer?" Harry asked smiling at her glowing face, "It was great, how about you? I hope those Dursley lot didn't spoil it for you to much." Harry shook his head, "Nope, it was pretty ok, better now." She smiled, "Hey Hermione, Do you know anything on the rain?" Hermione's eyes went wide, "Oh yeah, Sorry, I looked up some stuff, and it could be a few things, but it's nothing to worry about, lets go have an ice cream and talk about it shall we?" The boys nodded.

"Ok, you lot" Said Mrs. Wealy "You meet us back here in two hours got that?" They all replied with a 'yes' and they were off. Harry, Ron and, Hermione went to 'the Three Broomsticks" For some ice cream and butter beers. It was packed, they had to squeeze their way to a table in the back, their were people everywhere, especially students. "Aah finally." Said Ron. Just then a waitress walked over, she was a witch, in her 30's tall, slender with blonde straight hair, "Hey, what can I get you three?" She asked. Hermione blurted out "Three butter bears, and Ice cream sundaes please." "you got it kiddo." Said the waitress, "Ok, any way, about the rain" Hermione started, Ron and Harry listening closely "well, it could be three things, one-some witch or wizard was fooling around, and caused a storm, it should be over in a few days, two- it's a tropical storm, which isn't a big thing, and will be over in a few days, or three- it's a sign of dark days soon to come which will stop, for it's last breath before the plunge, which is like complete peace and beautiful weather for about two weeks, then storms, and snow until the evil is ready."

Harry and Ron just sat there, Hermione looked anxiously back "Now, it hasn't reached the wizarding world yet, only the muggle world, as you can see, it's starting to hit, and yes, if it is the whole evil thing it affects the muggle world, and first. But I doubt that so don't worry you two, and don't say anything ok?"
"Ok, Hermione." Harry replied. She smiled just then the waitress came back with their orders, "Here you are guys, call if you need anything elese." Harry ate his sundae and drank his butter beer, he missed the taste of butter beer. Soon when they had finished their drinks, and such they headed out to get things on their list. "What's first?" Ron asked, Hermione looked at her list "Hmm, some books, over here" She pointed to the book store "Alright." As they walked towards the book store Neivelle appeard "Hey!" and the three of them jumped "Oh hey Neivelle" Said Hermione with a smile "Hey, didn't mean to scare you." They laughed "It's ok."

"Want to go into the bookstore with us?" Hermione asked. "Yeah, I was just about to go there anyway." He said. "Ok then lets go." Said Ron. They again began to walk to the shop, Harry looked around, watching people, children with their parents, Harry misses him mom and dad so much, even thought he never really knew them, he misses them. Harry sighed and kept walking, and staring, just then Harry spotted Cho, with her friends, he watched her laughing, and her hair sway as she ran to get out of the rain 'she is so beautiful' he thought. Harry was just about to walk into a sign when Hermione pulled him to the side.

"Wow, Harry watch it, are you ok?" she said, Neivelle and Ron watching him "huh, yeah I'm fine" he said and smile "just thinking about my parents, kind of." Hermione sighed, "I'm sorry Harry." And she wrapped her hands around him and gave him a hug. Harry smiled "Thanks Hermione, I'm alright." She nodded. "Ok, lets go" said Ron, he pointed to the book store "Right then."

When they got into the bookstore they saw a lot of students, even some first years, "Oh, look it's Luna lovegood." Nevielle pointed out, her blushed "Neivelle do you like Luna?" Asked Ron, "Ron what is it with you and you wanting to know who likes who?" Harry asked, Hermion laughed, and Ron blushed "I don't know just curious, I mean we are getting older and all." Harry agreed. "So do you Neivelle?" Hermione added Neivelle shrugged, "I don't know, she is pretty though you have to admit." Ron looked shocked "Neivelle she is crazy, she is loony." Harry looked at her "Well, Ron she is kind of pretty, if she wasn't so weird, and straightened up a bit, Neivelle has a point." Ron looked over at Luna, "I guess." Neivelle nodded "Yeah, see she is, I mean she has pretty eyes, but her being all wacky is kind of, odd" He said shrugging "Oh well."

"Hey" said Ron "where is Hermione?" Harry looked around "Over there" He said pointing, "talking to some kid, come on lets go." Harry said, as he was about to walk over to Hermione "Woa!" He heard Neivelle say He turned to face him "I just noticed Hermione looks different, see." He said pointing Ron squinted at her "Oh yeah he is right, she looks better if you ask me." Ron said "Yeah" Replied Neivelle, "a lot better." Harry nodded "That is true" he said. "Come on let's go." They walked over to Hermione, who was still talking to that boy, who looked our age. "Oh hey you three, sorry I just had to get away from that conversation." Said Hermione smiling, "It's ok" Said Ron smiling back, then looking at the kid "Who is that?" He said. "Yeah" asked Harry, Hermione looked at the kid, who had black hair that was spiked, and green eyes, with a dark ring around them, Harry knew all the girls were going to be all over him, he just knew it, but there was something different about him, he was they type who didn't really get along with a lot of people, he was the type who no one understand except some, he didn't tell just any one he cared about them, or tell him his secrets. He was the rock music type, and Harry guessed by the way he looked.

Hermione smiled "This is Rick, he is new, he'll be a third year too at Hogwarts, so be nice" she said. He smiled "Hey" he spotted Harry's scare "Oh you're the Harry Potter, thanks for saving my dad, he was next on that dudes list" Harry looked at him, 'we have something in common' "Haha no problem." Ron made a hacking noise with his throat Hermione gave him a sour look, "Oh, and this is my other best friend Ron, and that's Neivelle." She said. "Hey Ron, what's going on?" Ron smiled "Nothing really you?" he replied "Same, Have you guys seen my sister yet?" He asked, and each of them shook their heads 'no'. "Oh, want to?" he asked "Sure" said Hermione "What year is she in?" Ron asked, "She's in third too. Hold on" he walked away.

"He seems really nice" Said Harry. "He is really nice." Hermione replied "Oh here he comes" Ron said, Harry looked over and saw him walking towards them with his sister, Harry thought she was pretty, really pretty, She had dark brown hair, and green eyes, with some yellow in them, she was tan, you could tell she was just like her brother. "This is Rebecca, my twin sister." Said Rick, She waved "Hey, you can call me Becca if you want." Ron stepped forward "Hey I'm Ron." He said. She laughed "Well, hey Ron, I'm Becca." Rick laughed. "She is the sarcastic type, "Yeah so is he." Hermione said pointing at Ron. "Then he's my type." Said Becca laughing. Ron blushed. "So" Said Neivelle, "have you met anyone else yet?" "Nope, just you. Haven't bothered to talk to anyone else." Rick replied.

"Ok, guys we need to start getting our supplies, before we run out of time." Blurted Hermion. "Ok see you in school then." Becca nodded "Yeah see you soon" "Bye hope you're in our house." Hermione said "Yeah me too." Harry added, and they walked away. "Wow, they are nice, but they look the Slytherin type." Said Ron, "Oh Ron it doesn't matter on how they look, it's their personality, and the feelings in them that the hat looks for, I think they are nice, and could be in Gryffindor." Hermione said in their defense. "She has a point Ron" said Harry, "Yeah, I guess, come on then we best get our stuff."

WEE I hope you like it so far, and the new characters, I'm going to make the next chapter of them heading to school, OK! Bye R&R&F ;p bye bye.
