Chapter 2

"First stop, Gringotts, so we can pick up some money." Dad said.

"Vault 336." A goblin said robotically.

"Thank you!" I said. I always was got freaked out at Gringotts.

"Let's see...It looks like all I need now is some new robes and maybe a-"Well, well, well, look who we have here!" I couldn't believe it, here I was, alone, with my one mortal enemy, Janice Malfoy. I looked around for dad and Shell, but they were no where to be seen.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" I asked coldly.

"Oh nothing...." She drawled, "I was just telling Ellie and Ella what a shame it was that the boy who happened to be your boyfriend has just informed me that he has a crush on me and is about to dump you ."

"For your info, Malfoy, John would never do that we have a very strong relationship!!!" I screamed at Malfoy, she and her two friends backed away and started walking in the opposite direction.

I was always losing my temper around Malfoy. The strange thing was, that every time I did lose my temper, Malfoy and her two "friends", Ellie and Ella, would back away. It was so weird. I think they thought I was going to use magic against them, because they do know that I am the best in my Charms class. I walked of in search of dad and Shell. On the way I met another friend of mine from Hogwarts, Lida Longbottom.

"Lida! How are you!?!? I haven't seen you in such a long time!" I exclaimed

"I'm fine, and how are you?" She asked, still being the polite shy girl she had always been at school.

"Fine, Fine, have you seen my Dad or Shell anywhere?" I asked quietly as a guy who seemed to have 3 legs instead of 2 walked, (more like scuttled) by.

"Erm, I think I saw them at Eeylops Owl Emporium."

"Thanks a lot!!!" I said and started heading down the street towards the Owl Emporium.

As I was walking I saw a new model of the Firebolt it was called the Zoombolt. My sister and I each had a new edition of the Firebolt. My broom was great! It had a built in compass and umbrella. It is very steady and seems to move wherever you want just with one touch. While I was walking and looking at the Zoombolt, I couldn't see where I was going and bumped into my boyfriend from last year. His name was John Wood. He was the son of my dad's quidditch coach. John was a tall, dark haired boy with hazel eyes.

"Hey!" He said, giving me a little kiss, "How are you?"

"HI!" I blurted out, I always lost my cool around John, "I'm good, you?"

"I'm good, too! It's so good to see you! Watcha doin?" He asked.

"Well, I WAS looking for my dad and Shell, but do you wanna go get something at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor?" I asked, wondering if what Malfoy had said was true. Could it be that John was two-timing me?

"Sure!" He answered...
