Diagon Alley
As usual, Diagon alley was full of magical folks, especially Hogwarts students. It was nearly the end of the summer holidays and most of them were shopping for new school books, robes, potion ingredients and schools supplies.
Most unusual, most of them were crowding around a new joke shop, which gave 25% discounts to all Hogwarts students. The shop was the Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes.
The weasley twins, Fred and George, were demonstrating their products infront of a crowd. With a loud Boom, green-and-gold sparks surrounded the place. Little dragons, shocking-pink Catherine wheels, and rockets flew five feet from the ground, with tiny stars trailing them as the go. Crackers were exploding like mad, emitting colourful sparks as it went off. The crowds watched the display of fireworks with Ohhs and Ahhs.
After a huge explosion marked the grand finale, the crowd clapped and cheered loudly. The twins raised their arms and bowed. Then, the handsomer of the twin, with a slightly darker shade of clear-blue eyes, announced to the crowd,
"That was the Wesleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs!" grinned Fred.
George added, "Today's special, four galleons for a Basic Blaze box and seventeen for Deflagration Deluxe. Get them now!"
The crowd then rushed into the shop, each with an utterly amazed look.
"You've made killings!" Ron exclaimed, his blue eyes wide as a golden galleon.
George grinned from ear to ear, "We owe this success to Harry of course!"
"And the ice-creams' on us!" Fred added, smiling widely.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and the twins walked back from Florean Fortesque Ice-Cream Parlour, each were holding their giant ice-cream steadily. The group walked on the cobbled stone path of Diagon Alley, admiring stuffs as they passed by the shops.
Fred checked his wristwatch, it was telling him that their lunch time was over. He tapped George's back, signaling to get back to the shop. The twins then waved at the trio.
Ron was waving at his brothers and then he gasped, "Mom asked me to buy more Floo powder! How could I forget? You coming 'Mione?"
Hermione was looking around for someone when Ron asked her. She quickly answered, "No, I'm going to buy myself a quill. See you later at Leaky Cauldron!" And she hurried off.
"She's acting very strange ever since the mountain trip," Harry thought.
"She's probably hiding something from us. Oh well, who do you think the Head Boy and Girl are this year?" asked Ron.
"I don't know. I hope the Head Boy isn't Malfoy," Harry said grimly.
The boy beside him was the same height as Draco, his raven was quite long, just above his collar. His hairstyle was off an anime character she knew. It was like Kira Yamato's, from Gundam Seed. His eyes were amethyst, though it looked like it belonged to someone who just lost his soul.(A/n: Same description as Genjo Sanzo, from Gensomaden Saiyuki) That boy was Blaise Zabini, a 7th year Slytherin.
As the two charming and hot boys walked, they were stared at and admired by teenage girls.
Hermione heard one of them screamed bitchily, "Draco-baby's soo dashing! And that Zabini boy sets our hearts a-blaised!" Then the group of girls giggled irritatingly.
Draco saw Hermione and gave her a faint smile, then he turned away, flashing his trademark evil smirk. Zabini stared at Hermione with his icy- cold amethyst eyes, which made Hermione really uncomfortable. Hermione went off to the Leaky Cauldren, her face glowing like the sunset.
The misty-eyed Blaise said suddenly to Draco, "That Granger, she bloomed into a beautiful flower, doesn't she?"
Draco blushed slightly and replied, "Who cares about that mudblood? Hmm.. But think about that? That curvy figure, I wish she's mine."
Blaise then gave Draco a vampire-ish smile and said something that made Draco nearly choked on his dinner, "You hate mudbloods, Draco. I like that Granger. She's different from other girls."
Draco spat angrily, "What's with you? Anyway, your dinner's getting cold."
Draco thought, Hermione's not going to fall for you, Blaise. Futhermore, you don't deserve her.
Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys' were at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. After Sirius Black died, Harry was made master of this house. Harry hated being in here, this house was full of momeries of his beloved godfather, Sirius.
It was around ten went they went back. Hermione dressed in her pajamas and went back to bed, where Ginny was already sleeping soundly.
It was around six in the morning when Hermione woke up. She washed up quickly, dressed in jeans and a tight t-shirt, and woke up Ginny.
They all had their big, or should I say huge breakfast, (Mrs Weasley forced them to eat more), rechecked for items the left out. At around nine- thirty, they went out and rode the muggle taxis to King Cross Station.
They did their usual thing, leaning casually across the barrier and slid off. After a round of hugs and kisses and "Be good!" from Mrs Wealey, They boarded the Hogwarts Express, with a cheery smile on their faces, thinking what adventures they would stumbled upon this year.
Author's note: Haha.. this is getting really interesting... The image of Blaise Zabini (confirmed by JK Rowling to a male) was mainly taken by various anime characters. I'm too much of a fan! Reviews!!
