Chapter Six: Meetings

The snake met her gaze steadily with its glassy piercing jet-black eyes, it's beautiful tattooed body stretched out behind it, shining under the harsh lights of the pet shop.

There was something about it's eyes that drew Willow to it. It had green flecks that were the color of emeralds. The python blinked lazily at her, its tongue darting in and out from its mouth making a soft hissing sound. A sound that somehow calmed her, a sound that mesmerized her.

And if it wasn't for the voice who interrupted her, she would've been staring at it for the whole day. "Magnificent creatures, snakes." The masculine voice informed directly from beside her.

Willow tore her eyes away from the python regretfully to meet the voice's face. By this time, the snake had slithered away from the front part of the glass aquarium, and had vanished from her view.

Her eyes locked onto a pair of glittering gray eyes that could've been made from pure silver. He was impeccably handsome, with his white-blonde hair, and smooth pale skin. And there was not a doubt in the world that he was dressed in the most expensive clothes there was in the Wizarding world.

Willow could only nod mutely at his comment. Too astonished for words.

He held out his hand as he introduced himself. "Draco. Draco Malfoy."

Willow reached out and took his hand, and to add to her surprise, kissed it. "Willow Rosenburg." She said timidly. He was quite the gentleman.

A sense of realization flitted across his face, at her noticeable accent. "Are you one of the exchange students at Hogwarts?" he asked. "You're American, aren't you?"

"Yes, and yes." Willow responded with a smile.

He returned it without hesitation, showing a row of pearly white teeth.

A sudden thought struck her, and she asked. "Your name means dragon in Latin?" she blurted out.

Draco's smile faltered but did not vanish, and Willow wondered if this was the wrong thing to say. "Yes. A certain—person thought that it was appropriate for me." Something flashed behind his eyes, and they appeared more stormy than silver like before.

It was during this minute that Buffy chose the moment to interrupt, and Willow was glad that they didn't have to continue the awkward conversation. The blonde slayer came jogging up towards them, a look of panic crossing her face.

"Willow!" She exclaimed, skidding to a stop in front of them. "Are you alright? Did that snake bite you? Is this guy bothering you?" she asked, planting her hands on her hips as she glared at Draco.

Willow sighed exasperatedly, though she smiled at Buffy's protectiveness. "Yes, Buffy. And no, this guy is not bothering me."

Draco shot Buffy an amused glance, and smirked at her. "Draco. Malfoy." He introduced yet again.

Buffy raised an eyebrow. "You say that as if you're some kind of movie star," she said in incredulity.

Draco's eyes narrowed, and for a split second, Willow wondered if Draco was going to hit her or something but to her astonishment, he laughed.

This time, Buffy couldn't suppress a smile. "I'm Buffy. Buffy Summers." She said sticking out her hand, Draco took it and they shook hands.

"Quite a strong grip you've got there," he said, impressed.

"Thank you," Buffy said pleasantly. "Stronger than yours, no doubt."

Willow chuckled at Buffy's arrogance, and Draco cocked an eyebrow. "Oh really?" he asked, a mischievous grin appearing on his face. "I'd like to see that hidden strength of yours, sometime."

To her credit, Buffy didn't blush, though she returned his grin with an equally mischievous one. "Anytime," she replied smoothly.

Draco smirked. "We'll see about that," he said. "Well, I'd better get going. See you in school." He flashed them one last grin before exiting the pet shop.

"Ooh, Buffy! He was flirting with you!" Willow teased nudging her best friend in the ribs.

Buffy laughed. "Yeah right, whatever." She looked down at Willow's new pet owl and continued. "Let's go get our brooms," she said walking through the door Draco took, with Willow at her heels.

"Wait—aren't you going to buy a pet?"

"Nah, I couldn't find one that erm—connected with me." She said with a careless shrug. "Speaking of pets, what're you gonna name your owl?"

"Willow Jr."

"Your kidding right?" Buffy asked dubiously.

"Yeah. Actually, I haven't thought about that yet." Willow said thoughtfully. "I'm still thinking of the best name."

"How about Buffy," her best friend suggested, wiggling her eyebrows at Willow who laughed.

"I don't think so," she rolled her eyes and took Buffy by the arm and dragged her into the store that sold brooms. It was called Quidditch something or other.

"Hmm, these brooms are kinda expensive." Buffy said reading the price tags on the brooms that were being displayed. Willow stood beside her, peeking at the tags as well.

"Giles gave us enough. We could still afford a really good broom, and then get our wands." Willow said peering into her pouch which was no longer full to the brim.

"Yeah, but how do we know which ones are the 'really good brooms'?" Buffy asked walking to the next one which had the name 'Nimbus Two Thousand' engraved on its handle.

"That one is a really good broom," a deep voice said from behind them.

Willow and Buffy turned around to be faced by another attractive face. He seemed around 'their' age and Draco's age. So they assumed that he went to school in Hogwarts as well.

His eyes matched Willow's, not to mention the python she had encountered earlier that day. A distinct kind of green, that sparkled like emeralds. Of course, his was hid behind black rimmed glasses. His jet-black hair stood up in all directions, and just beneath the few strands of hair that fell over his forehead was a scar. And it slightly resembled the shape of a lighting bolt.

"You do know that this is the second time we've met an incredibly cute guy in one day, do you?" Buffy asked Willow, not bothering to lower her voice. The said second guy blushed a deep crimson the color of Willow's hair.

"Yankees," he blurted out. "Sorry—you girls must be the two exchange students at Hogwarts. Hagrid told us about touring two Americans around Diagon Alley." He said, a smile creeping up his face. "I'm Harry Potter by the way." He stuck out his hand.

Willow took it. Unfortunately, he didn't kiss it like Draco did. "I'm Willow Rosenburg. This is Buffy Summers." The two shook hands.

"Okay. So back to the topic of the brooms," Buffy said turning her attention back to the unaware Nimbus 2000. "This one seems cheaper than that Firebolt. And the only question is if it is any good."

"It used to be one of the best until the Nimbus 2001 and the Firebolt came into sales." Harry explained, running his finger down the tail of the broom almost longingly.

"Well then, I'm buying it!" Buffy exclaimed taking it off its counter and bringing it to the cashier, leaving Willow and Harry alone in companionable silence.

"Exuberant girl, isn't she?" Harry asked in wonder, as he stared after Buffy, an amused smile on his face.

"One of the many adjectives that could describe Buffy," Willow said grinning. "So, can you tell me what Quidditch is?"

"Gladly," Harry said with a warm smile that tingled Willow from head to toe.

A/N: Um, I'm not really good at describing wands and what their made of etc...can anyone of you suggest wands for Buffy and Willow? They would REALLY HELP in the next chapter!!! Review!!! =)
