Diagon Alley and the long awaited package
Like clowns on parade, the Weasley twins puffed out their chest with pride, wearing the most ridiculous outfit. They wore lime green trousers, bright orange dragon hide jacket, white dress shirt and bow ties. Each had an army around Ashley, and walked down the alley to their shop. Business was booming for Fred and George, yet they continued to live at the home with their parents, saving their money to treat their respective girlfriends. Though they say it's really so they can have their mother, the boys true muse, near by. Ginny left Hermione and Ron in charge of the food and lagged behind her silly elder brothers, hand in hand with Harry. Deciding to make a stop in Flourish and Blotts, they let the others know they would meet up at the shop.

"Lissette, meet me in the Leaky Cauldron in one hour's time, ( he yelled after the girl who was heading towards Madame Malkins robes for every occasions) ONE HOUR'S TIMES!"
She agreed, waving a hand dismissively, finally alone, Draco walk down the alley to the bookstore. He needed that book, he needed to know why those initials were there. Upon arriving he asked the store keep for a copy of the same book the youngest Weasley had inquired about. When given the same explanation, he left the store feeling quite defeated. He headed for Gringotts which was at the opposite end that was when he heard it. A beautiful laughter rang in his ears and quicken his heart's pace, though it was brief as a door opened and closed in a near by shop. She was near, his heart, Ginny, his Ginny.

"So- that'll be two sickles and ten knuts-he told me that- thank you for shopping here and do come again- the last copy was- May I help you?- sold- Excuse? No I'm sorry you can't try that, you have to purchase it first- and they hadn't another- No. I'm sorry they only come in pairs- at least I tried Ash, but no luck."
Ashley sniffed the air when the red head turned to help a customer, a certain Slytherin is near by. Harry came up from the basement holding stacked boxes, all three of them were tricked into working while Fred and George tried luring kids to the back of the shop to test their products. The emerald eyed boy was re-stocking shelves, Ginny was taking care of the register and the vampire checked inventory.
"Ginny, I'm going on a break, I'll be back in ten, okay?" The vampire put on her cloak and walked out the store.
"Draco Malfoy, well- well- well, you missed me that much?" The blonde tried his best not to laugh. Instead he just rolled his eyes and motioned her to follow him behind the shop.
"Flourish and Blotts-" She cut him off.
"Don't have the book , I know, Madame Pince?" the boy shook his head.
"Said the book was currently out." Ashley paced back and forth .
"Well there's only one thing left to do, but I'll have to look it up, it will surely work! Yes, it's our only choice, besides what harm could there possibly be." She walked off, the boy watched her retreating back wondering what on bloody earth she was talking about.

Lissette entered the Madame Malkin's shop and looked around. She then saw some thing that sickened her, a infant section.
"May I help you?" a squat, smiling witch dressed all in mauve asked as she approached the young girl. It was Madame Malkins herself.
"I need some new robes, I-" but the woman eyed her suspiciously.
"What?!?" The young girl nearly shouted and caught the elder witch by surprise.
"Sorry dear, but you have that look in your eyes." The Slytherin scoffed.
"What look? What are you babbling about? ( 'You senile old bag', she thought exasperated)" The elder witch pursed her lips.
"The look a woman has when she's expecting a little one, but you my dear appear to be fairly young to be , though I'm rarely mistaken! New robes, right, stand there." and so she began to measure her.

The hour quickly passed, Draco had managed to talk to Ashley, watch the red head from afar and do some left over Christmas shopping. He sat there in the Leaky Cauldron sipping the last of his butter beer, waiting impatiently for his cousin who was currently ten minutes late.
"Waiting long?" in entered Lissette holding about ten bags and had ten more levitating behind her.
"What, did you empty out your vault?" The elder Malfoy let his mouth wide open in shock..
"Of course not, just my step mothers, Copy of the key, for emergency." She held up a small gold key. Having set her bags down she called Tom the inn keeper over.
"What was they emergency?" The white blonde boy asked as he sifted through the bags in curiosity.
"All my robes are dirty, there was a sale, oh and I got loads of stuff at the apothecary, some interesting things in (she lowered her voice to a whisper) Knockturn Alley, (cleared her throat) Yes two more butter beers-Oh and when I was at Baubles and Sparkles, the store keep asked me to give you (she looked with in a bag and pulled out a small package) this. Said it finally came in."
Immediately the boy snatched it from her hand and stood up starring trance fixedly at the rectangular box. "Meet you at the manor." He pressed his wand to his chest and with a 'crack' was gone.
