"Harry! Hermione!" Ron shouted and ran up to his two best friends.
"Ron! And how was your summer?"
"It was wonderful, Harry! I wish you could have stayed longer and not had to go back to the Dursleys!"
"Me too Ron...but sadly I had to go. But anyway...how was your summer?"
"It was good."
"And yours Hermione?"
Hermione smiled at the question. "Wonderful."
"Well that's good. Come on Harry. I hear they might be making a new broom model. Let's go to the Quidditch store."
"Right behind you, mate." Harry and Ron walked off without looking back.
Ginny walked up to Hermione. "Men..." Hermione huffed. "Harry didn't even ask me what I did for summer. Neither did Ron..."
"They both got a lot of growing up to do Herm." Ginny smiled. "What did you do this summer?" She asked suspiciously.
"Well...my parents and I went to America, into Las Vegas. Oh Ginny, it was wonderful! They had plays and animal shows and other great things!"
"Sounds...fascinating Hermione. Really." Ginny chuckled a little.
"Well...since the inconsiderate boys are off with their little sports, how about me and you go over to Flourish and Blotts?"
"I would love too..."
Walking over towards the bookstore, Ginny spotted Draco. How she despised him.
"Well if it isn't little Weasley and Ms. Granger." He sneered.
"I see you reversed the little ferret spell." Hermione smiled. "What shall it be next? A worm, maybe?"
Ginny laughed. Draco glared.
They all turned and started walking into the door at once.
"Excuse me but one person at a time. And since I am the most valued one here, I would think it for me to be first." Draco chuckled.
"Well...ladies first of course." Ginny snarled.
"Why thank you, Virginia." Draco strutted into the store and pretended to flip his hair.
Ginny had to suppress a laugh. What would Hermione think if she had laughed at Malfoy?
"Oh Ginny! I'm so sorry! I forgot my money at Gringotts. I must leave at once and get it. I will be back shortly." Hermione hurried off and left Ginny startled.
"Well that was sudden..." She mumbled under her breath as Draco walked up to her.
"Little redhead princess was left alone? Aw." He said trying to sound concerned.
"It is none of your business, Malfoy." Turning and walking towards the books she had needed and did not have. Hermione had told her about a very good book that they had, but she could not find it. She practically had to beg her mother for the money. She turned to the storekeeper.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where to find 'Lost soul in the wizarding world?'"
"Oh yes dear. It's on the shelf in the back." The storekeeper said and pointed in the direction.
"Thank you."
"Not a problem."
Ginny turned and walked to the back. Who was back there too? None other then Draco Malfoy! He was holding the book called 'Lost souls in the wizarding world.'
"Excuse me, Malfoy, but if I may that back."
"No, little Weasley, I think I'll keep it. It's the last copy and we Malfoy's do value our books."
"Why you little selfish git." She mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" He said, a grin appearing on his face.
"I said, you are a selfish git." Saying it aloud this time, she sounded pleased.
"Oh. Well then, they may be true. But I'm not the one without a book."
"Give it here, Malfoy."
"Maybe I'll keep it. Oh wait...I've already read this book. It's actually quite good." He said handing it to her.
"Really?" She asked and he nodded.
"It is. A meaningless wanderer stumbles into the world of wizard and it talks on how he survives. Great fiction book."
Malfoy actual read other things then Dark Magic books?! Surprise, surprise...
"You seem to know a lot about this book. Maybe you like it...it's a reason to not get it." She said to him and he looked hurt.
"Why Virginia...I'm just trying to help." He wiped his eye, pretending that a tear was about to drop.
"Well...thanks." She turned to the cashier to buy the book.
"That'll be six Knuts." The cashier had said.
"Six?" She shouted. "Hermione said five! I only have exact change...the rest is for my school books..."
"I'm sorry ma'am. Maybe another time."
"It's alright." She turned to put the book back on the shelf.
"Changed your mind after all?"
"No...I don't have enough..." She hesitated. "Money."
"Oh. Well, this book is good too. It's only five Knuts." He said reaching for one called 'If I were a rich wizard.' "I found it rather amusing..." He smiled. "Talks about if they were a rich wizard and what they would do. How they would come and stand up to evil. It's interesting."
"Why are you recommending a book to me? It seems rather nice."
"Why thank you, Virginia!" He smiled, but this time it wasn't menacing or bloodcurdling. It scared her.
"No, thank you Draco." She smiled back and went up to the cashier, buying the book. She saw Hermione outside and went to greet her real fast before they both came in.
"What was that about, Draco?" Blaise Zabini's voice came from behind him.
"Hello Blaise. I trust you had a good summer."
"Don't try to change the subject. Why were you being so nice...to a Gryffindor? Let alone to Weasley!"
"I don't know." Draco picked up the first book Ginny could not buy and headed towards the cashier.
"Don't tell me you are trying to buy it for her?" He said in awe as Hermione and Ginny walked in.
"No! I'm not trying to buy it for her...Well even if I were, what is it to you?"
"You never buy me books..."
"That's because you never read them." He said paying the cashier.
Ginny glanced over at Draco before her and Hermione went to the back.
"I would like you to give Little Ms. Weasley a message for me, Blaise."
"What could that be?"
"To meet me in front of the ice cream parlor."
"And why, may I ask?"
"You mat not. Just deliver the message please."
Sighing in defeat, Blaise walked over to Ginny and gave her the message. "He would like it if you met right away." He rolled his eyes.
"Why?"
"You'll find out soon enough now won't you." Blaise turned and walked back to Draco who was staring at them.
"Don't trust him Ginny...who knows what no good he's up to?"
"It's just the Ice Cream Parlor Hermione. You could come along if you like I'm sure."
"I would to make sure you were safe, but I trust in you and I have to do some school supply shopping. Give me your money and your list just in case you don't come back in time."
"Thanks Hermione. Oh and...don't tell Ron."
"What's going on between you two Ginny?"
"Nothing Hermione, why?"
"Just curious."
"Well...he did recommend me this book."
"He recommended you a book? What's it called?"
"'If I were a Rich Wizard.'"
"Figures...although that was a good book. What about the Lost Souls one?"
Ginny sighed. "It was six Knuts, not five."
"I'm sorry Ginny..."
"It's alright." She said and saw Draco walking out the door. "I better go." She nodded a goodbye and Hermione nodded back and she walked out following Draco.
"Ron! And how was your summer?"
"It was wonderful, Harry! I wish you could have stayed longer and not had to go back to the Dursleys!"
"Me too Ron...but sadly I had to go. But anyway...how was your summer?"
