It was the 23 of August, and everyone was lining up in front of the
fireplace to go to Diagon Alley. Soon, Harry was traveling through the
emerald green flames to the fireplace in Flourish and Blotts. Harry looked
up and saw Malfoy smiling down at him.
"Hey Harry! How have you been all summer? " Malfoy asked. "Er, fine, how are you?" Harry said. Just then Ginny came. "Had a nice summer? Crucio!" Malfoy dodged the curse and instead hit a copy of "The Monster Book of Monsters". "Hey, what are you doing to my books?" The storekeeper growled as the book was shrieking. "Out, you little rascals! Out!"
"Ok, Ginny, let me explain myself before you try to do the Crutacious Curse on me again," Malfoy pleaded as he, Harry, and Ginny were walking down the streets of Diagon Alley. "Since my father was put in Azkaban, my mother revealed who she really is."
"Yea, that she was cheating on your father and she was actually dating You-Know-Who," Ginny said. "Please, let me speak! She said she was actually a spy for Dumbledore. But she couldn't tell anyone until he was jailed. So now she's been taking me away from the Dark Arts and training me to become an Auror and to not like the Dark Arts. It was very hard at first, since all my life I had been living with the Dark Arts. But now I finally see how the Dark Arts are bad and how it's better to be against it. Mother and I have been traveling around England, capturing Death Eaters and handing them over to the Ministry. And so I decided to apologize for being so mean to you over the past few years. So, blame it on my father. Gosh, I hate my father! And please, will you accept this? It's the truth," Malfoy said sincerely. "Swear?" Harry asked. "Pinky swear," Malfoy answered. Ginny then leaped onto him and gave him a big hug. After Ginny finished hugging Malfoy, he turned to Harry and they shook hands. "Hey, where's Ron and Hermione?" Malfoy asked. "They were right behind us in line to go to Diagon Alley," Ginny said. They're probably looking for us."
"Boo! Haha! Scared you!" Ron yelled. He was peeking out from behind a bookcase at Flourish and Blotts. "You so did not! Oh, Draco has something to say to you," Ginny said. "Malfoy has something to say to us? And since when do you use his first name? What's with you, Ginny?" Hermione came out from behind the bookshelf. And Draco, as he now wanted to be called, told his story, and it sounded even more touching the second time.
They had a wonderful time that day. Draco got them lots of stuff, and he turned out to be a very likeable person. "So now how do you feel about being in Slytherin?" Hermione asked. Draco answered, "I think what I'm going to do is teach everybody in it to not like the Dark Arts. Of course, there are already some people who are against the Dark Arts and have been their whole lives. But I think many of the others have either been raised by their other parent over the summer or have been living with people from the Ministry. But I think that Pansy was put in Azkaban because she was caught dressed like a Death Eater at what they think is a Death Eater's training building. Wasn't it in the Daily Prophet? Just I think there were too many Death Eater's caught to say their names."
"Really? Pansy was training to be a Death Eater? And she's only 16? That's freaky!" Ron said. "Hey, how about we check out Fred and George's joke shop? I haven't been there yet," Harry suggested.
It was awesome! There were shelves filled with loads and loads of magical tricks! It was way better than Zonko's! Of course, everything was a lot.cheaper! It was suprising that there weren't a lot of people filling the store. In fact, where had the others gone? "Boo! Haha! Tricked you!"
"Ah." Harry started. But all of a sudden, people popped out of nowhere and filled the store. He looked around and saw the others looking just as bewildered. Then he turned around and saw George, or was it Fred, had put some sort of cloth over his eyes that made him not see anybody. "Bio-invisiblity blindcloths! Only five sickles each!"
"Why you little creep! Why'd you do that, Fred?" Ron yelled. "Sorry Ron, but it was just a little demonstration. Please forgive me! I'll be your best friend!" Fred answered. "Oh, puh-lease. I'm your brother and that's already enough. So, can you give us some stuff?"
"Sure, what do you want?" Fred looked around and saw Draco. "Hey, get out of my shop! What's he doing here?"
"Oh, he's now our friend. Seriously! Draco, tell your story."
It was getting kind of boring the third time.
