Cold Feet
Everyday that week Dylan would go visit Billy, at the Drugstore that was only about 2 blocks away. All the staff knew her, and she knew all the staff, and Billy and staff would buy her candy with their discount so it was like 2 cents. Billy and Dylan had formed a bond with each other. A bond like a sister and brother. Billy would always ask about boys, and told them that if they ever tried to hurt them that he would, as he put it, 'kick his ass'. And Dylan would always wonder around the store asking random customers to go out with Billy. They also would also pick on each other. Dylan even forgot about going to Hogwarts for awhile, until...
"Dylan aren't you happy you go to Hogwarts tomorrow?" asked Betty at the breakfast table. I spewed my cereal everywhere.
"Dylan, the cereal isn't that bad" said Roger, a 5 year old boy sitting next to Dylan. Dylan laughed than suddenly got up.
"I Gotta to see Billy. Be back later!" She yelled down in the front hall.
"I want you home by 8:00 tonight! Got That?" called Betty after Dylan .
"YUP!" said Dylan rushing out of the front door. She ran all the way to the drug store. Then she snuck up on Billy and jumped on his back.
"Argh!" he said. Dylan then jumped off, and sat on the counter.
"Hogwarts tomorrow!" she quietly shrieked.
"I know! I'm so jealous!" he said.
"Yea right! of me!? With the last name Riddle!" Dylan laughed at the thought of all Hogwarts bowing down to her. Billy new all about her father.
"Hey! At least you get to go!" he smirked.
"Yea, Yea, You picking me up tomorrow?!" asked Dylan excitement glinting in her eye.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world!" Said putting me in a headlock, and messing with my hair.
"I'll......right.....you....every.......WEEK" Dylan said finally breaking free, "At least"
"Good! And I will always reply!"
"Good!" Dylan smiled.
The rest of the day was saying goodbye to all the staff and some regular customers. She was about to leave when the manager stopped her. He handed her a Tub filled to the brim with muggle candy.
"On the house" he smiled. "Good Luck. And you always have a job here Dylan Riddle"
"Thanks you Marty!" squealed Dylan hugging him, and then everyone one last time. "GOODBYE! TILL NEXT YEAR!" called Dylan over her shoulder. And she ran home carrying her bucket o' candy.
The next day Dylan woke up at 5:30. She could not sleep! She was to excited, she made sure she had everything perfectly ready, and she brought everything down stairs. At 9:30 she decided to call Billy. She dialed 951-9335.
"Ello!" answered a sleepy voice
"Come on, wake up! Hogwarts!" yelled Dylan into the phone.
"Whoa! Okay, okay I'm coming!" Billy said.
After ½ hour of saying goodbyes Billy and Dylan were on there way to King's Cross.
"Your Coming in right!" asked Dylan who was in the front seat.
"Dur! I wouldn't miss this." He said smiling. After another 15 minutes of small talk they finally reached they station.
Billy wheeled the trolley while Dylan pushes her way to platform 9 and 10. There was a family of redheads besides us.
"Ok! That was nice time to go!" said Dylan turning back around and walking in the other direction. But Billy grabbed her arm.
"Oh no you don't!"
"I've just decided, I'm going to work at the Pharmacy, and be a muggle" Dylan said just loud enough so the family beside them could hear them. But they didn't care. "Ill work my magic THAT way."
"Nope sorry. You've gotta go! I'm the muggle here!" said Billy.
"They will hate me!" said Dylan, "I'm sure off it!....Go for me...Dylan it could be a guys name!"
"Nice try!"
"I know" smirked Dylan looking down at what Billy was wearing, "what ARE you wearing?"
"err. Clothes." Billy mumbled.
"your Flippin' Pajamas!" Dylan smacked Billy upside the head.
"It was early." He complained.
"I dont care." Said Dylan, "any way, fine I'll Go! But when I come back you better have on CLOTHES!" At this point the group of redheads were very interested.
"Fine, Fine, but promise me two things." He said.
"what?"
"One: you'll write every week at least once."
"Done!" smiled Dylan.
"Two: Any boys try any funny stuff and you'll write me and I'll kick there asses. Though I think you an handle it yourself." Smirked Billy.
"Err. Done!" Dylan smiled. Billy picked up Dylan in a bear hug then set her down.
"Now go!"
"Pushy, pushy" Said Dylan casually walking toward the barrier, then she waved and went through.
