Title: Ava Riddle

Author: Jes Moore/ Dilandau's Lover Rated: R DM/OC

A/N: Sorry if the first chapter was boring. It was pretty short and this one is a lot longer. It's my first fan fiction and I don't think I'm very good. If you have any suggestions please review. Thanx.

Chapter 2 Shopping is Bliss!

Draco was dressed in a matter of moments. He was back in the office in no more then 10 minutes; which was a new record even for him. (a/n: Hee hee, me too!)

The Dark Lord had requested that Draco, take Ava to Diagon Ally. Ava had complained that she had no clothes to wear; her father hadn't given her the chance to pack. Draco had to admit that she did need more then one set of clothes.

Draco entered the room to see Voldemort, giving his daughter a large bag of galleons. Ava slipped it into her purse and waited impatiently for Draco to hurry up.

"Come on! You're so slow. Tic, tock Draco! Tic, freakin, tock! If you're going to be like this the whole time you'll get left behind. I power shop like you wouldn't believe." Ava said impatiently.

She stepped up to the fireplace. She grabbed a handful of flu powder and stepped up. "Diagon Ally" She stated clearly. In a flash of green light Ava was thrown forward. She landed in what seemed to be a pub.

Ava had grown up knowing she was a witch, but she had never been allowed to enter a magical area or even a magical school! Ava knew how to control her powers though. She had taught herself wand-less magic, her whole life.

Draco landed in the fireplace as gracefully as always and stepped up beside her. "Well come on miss obnoxious." Draco teased.

Ava walked past him, her nose high in the air. She went out the back and stopped at the brick wall. Draco took out his wand and tapped three particular bricks. They rearranged themselves as they always did and he walked through.

Ava followed looking in curiosity at some of the stores. There were few people in shops because it was only August 13th. School didn't start for another two and a half weeks.

"So where do you want to start?" Draco asked.

"Where do we find muggle clothes around here? Or at least normal clothes." Ava asked looking in Alavanders Wand shop.

Draco sighed. "Then we have to go two blocks that way." Draco pointed down Knocktern Ally.

"Fine with me. I got all day to shop."

Draco groaned. ~Why me? ~

They walked in silence for what Ava thought was hours. Ava then noticed the exact same shop she had seen over 10 minutes ago.

"Draco are we lost?" Ava asked.

"We're not lost I just don't remember where we are." Draco stated annoyed that he was indeed lost.

"Ya... why don't we just ask someone where we are? It would be so much easier."

"We don't need to ask anyone. I just need to remember which way we came from."

"What is it with men and asking for directions?" Ava mumbled to herself. "Why don't we just ask this guy here? Excuse me sir; we got turned around in here. Could you tell us where the mall is?" Ava asked politely. Walking up to a tall man with long black hair.

The man turned to face Ava and grunted. He passed her without even a glance back.

"Argh! Some people are so rude!" Ava complained.

"Well people around here aren't exactly friendly Ava." Draco stated.

The ally way was dark and still wet from last nights rain. There was a cold gust of wind and Ava shivered.

"I wish I'd thought to bring a cloak." Ava shivered again.

"Here. Your dad would kill me if I let you freeze." Draco said handing Ava his cloak.

"Thanx." Ava thanked.

Ava looked around them. The ally was deserted. There was no one in sight. They entered a small bookstore to ask directions, to Draco´s annoyance.

The clerk didn't look too friendly. He eyed them suspiciously with his dark- blue eyes.

"Ya... what do you want?" he asked coldly.

Ava smiled sweetly and asked their location. The clerk stared at her as if she'd just asked the secret to the universe.

"Your in Knocktern Ally of course." He answered turning back to dusting a very old book.

"We know that stupid, but where in Knocktern Ally?" Draco asked growing impatient at the old mans reply.

"Draco manners, he probably just misunderstood the question. There's no need to snap at him." Ava scolded.

Draco smiled dangerously at her. Who was she to correct his behavior?

"Sir how do we get to the mall from here?" Ava asked returning to her sweet manner.

"You turn right at Warren's Poisonous Bits Remedy shop, then follow that road till you get to Al's Illegal Potion Ingredients Store. Then your first left and then second right. You'll be able to see the mall from there." The clerk answered.

"Thank you sir." Ava said walking out of the store and starting down the road.

**************************************************************************** *****

When they finally found the mall, it was 1:30.

Ava went straight to shopping and had finished the entire first floor by 2:30. Draco had to give her credit. This girl could shop.

They soon started on the second floor. They first visited the food court because they both felt hungry. 5 minutes later Ava was off again. She had already spent a lot of her money, but there was a fair bit left. (Ok so there were a lot of galleons in her purse! Voldemort was spoiling her!)

By the time they had finished all three floors, Ava had bought a *lot! *

There were about 40 new pairs of pants, 27 skirts, and 20 shirts including sweaters.10 pairs of shoes, and 5 cds. Not to mention the amount personal items and accessories she had bought.

(a/n: Lol I did that once to my dad. I came home with like, a million bags and he totally freaked! I had to return most of it, but the look on his face was priceless!)

All that was left was the Bikini Village. Ava insisted that Draco stay outside the store while she tried stuff on.

Ava went through the shop and had about 13 different styles she wanted to try on. 2 didn't suit her at all. 3 she didn't like the colour, so she changed them. But the rest were perfect! 11 new bikinis, for all guys to goggle over.

~ GO ME! ~ Ava's mind screamed as they returned to the Manor.

Ava went into her room and looked over all the clothes she had just bought. There was a knock on the door. Ava called the person inside and saw a smiling Mrs. Malfoy standing at the door.

"I was wondering if you needed any help putting your stuff away." Mrs. Malfoy asked.

"Help would be wonderful!" Ava replied.

The bed was covered with all of her clothes and Ava was hanging them up in the closet.

"You really went all out, didn't you?" Narcissa's eyes went wide at the sight.

"Ya... my friend Kila, she used to tell me I would probably die if the mall closed. I would get seriously upset but I don't think I would die! I mean, I could always just go to a mall farther away." Ava answered.

Ava pointed her index finger at the pill of shoes and floated them into the closet; so they were set neatly with each match. Then she grabbed the bag with accessories and went through them. She placed them all into a drawer and started with the bags of make-up.

It had taken about an hour and a half to do this, even with magic. When they were finally done, they both fell back onto the bed.

"You really have to show me how you can shop like that. I wish I could do that!" Mrs. Malfoy stated enviously.

"Well just say the word and I can go again." Ava laughed.

"What would your father say if he knew you had bought that much?!" her tone suddenly alarmed.

"Oh it's ok. Daddy gave me the money. I still have about 5 galleons and 4 knuts left." Ava said going into her purse.

"Uhh! How did Draco take to the fact the you were at the mall, all day?" Narcissa asked.

"I couldn't really see him, he was the one holding the bags." Ava laughed feeling sorry for Draco.

They both went into a fit of giggles.

~ For an adult Mrs. Malfoy is pretty fun to be around. ~ Ava thought as she watched Draco´s mother laughing, clutching her stomach.

When the laughter finally died down, there was a knock on the door. Ava called them inside and a shaking house elf stood before them.

"Began your pardon miss riddle, but your father wishes to speak with you in the master's study." The elf stammered.

"Tell him I will be along in 5 minutes." Ava replied.

"I think I should go tell the servants what to make for dinner." Mrs. Malfoy stated and left Ava alone in her room.

Ava changed and fixed up, her now smudged make-up and set off for the study. She knocked on the door and entered. Her grim faced father and Lucious stood in front of a desk.

Ava had the feeling she was going to be lectured. No doubt Draco had ratted her out on all of the stuff she'd bought.

"Ava, I have bad news." Her father started. "I have some very important business to attend to. I won't be around a lot and I asked Lucious if you could stay here while I was gone." Voldemort continued.

~ So Draco didn't rat me out. Maybe it'd be fun to stay here, for a while. I could go on shopping sprees with Mrs. Malfoy! ~ Ava thought cheerfully.

"Unfortunately I forgot that Lucious and Narcissa have other matters to attend to at the moment. And Draco will be in school at the time, so I had no choice in the matter."

"What matter?" Ava asked.

"Have you even been paying attention, young lady?" her father's voice riasing.

"Yes, but I still don't get it. I could just go back to aunt Claria's house till you come back." Ava said this as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.

"It's not that simple Ava. If I return you to your aunt's house, I lose custody of you. Ava I'll be gone until sometime in June."

Ava's heart sank. She wanted to stay around her father now that she had found him. He wasn't supposed to leave. Not now!

"I opened a bank account at Gringotts for you. There is plenty of money for you there. It's under Ava Ravel, your mother's last name. The wizarding world is too familiar with mine. There are certain people in this world that wish to see me dead. Of course you already know that." Her father explained.

"Father just say it! It's torture to leave me hanging. I want to know!" Ava insisted.

"Ava, you're going to start at Hogwarts this year."
