Harry awoke the next morning with a smile on his face. He was going back to Diagon Alley. He wanted to get something for Hermione for her birthday. He was thinking of a nice book, or maybe something magical they can converse with secretly. As he woke up, he went downstairs, ate breakfast with the Weasley's and then flew around with Ron before they went to Diagon Alley.
"OK, Harry you can go first this time because now you know how to use it." Mrs. Weasley explained.
Harry stepped inside, "Diagon Alley!" he screamed.
Before he knew it, he was inside of the fireplace at The Leaky Cauldron. Soon enough, the rest of the Weasley family was there and Hermione followed up the group.
"Gringotts Bank is the first stop, of course! Then, I will let you three do you shopping by yourselves and Ginny and I will go on ourselves. Meet back here in...well...2 hours. How's that sound?" Mrs. Weasley said
"Fine by us, we can finally do some excessive shopping. Ya know? We can actually go to our stores for once." Ron said
The group went to Gringotts, got the money they needed and split. They decided to do there school shopping last, so they wouldn't have to carry all the books and supplies around all day. The first made a stop at Flortescue's Ice Cream Parlor for some sundaes and milkshakes. Then, the boys made it over to Quality Quidditch Supplies, while Hermione went over to Flourish and Blotts to check if any new books had come in and she was interested in them. Sure enough, one titled Hogwarts: A beginning came into stock. The three met up a few minutes later, describing what each had seen. Harry then remembered he wanted to get Hedwig some decent treats for all the work she has done for him in the past. He also decided to get Crookshanks a play toy because he never got to thanks her properly for helping him during his third year. After that pit stop, they decided they would get there school book and be on their way.
They entered Flourish and Blotts and, like usual, it was packed with students and parents needing to buy their new supplies. Harry, Ron and Hermione were quick to split up and buy the needed books. While Harry was about, he remembered that Hermione wanted the new book Hogwarts: A Beginning. He found that and added it to his ever-growing pile of books. While he was waiting in line, a book caught his eye, Beginning stages of Animagi. To the left of it, he noticed a complete box set titled The complete Transformation to Becoming an Animagus. He thought it over and decided he would try it out. Well, not necessarily he, but they. He purchased the books in his pile, and completed his supply list and a few extra ingredients he thought he would want for potions. Another stop that he made was in Tricks and Passages in Time where he purchased a pair of parchments in which one person wrote on and the words showed up on the other piece. It was made for talking when you and your friend are in a different class or when you wanted to talk secretly. In a few hours time, it was time for him to leave, so they met up and headed into The Leaky Cauldron, where they had a cup of butterbeer before they returned and packed for the upcoming school year at Hogwarts. Then, when all of them were finished, they lined up to use the fireplace.
"The Burrow!" Harry bellowed.
He returned and ran upstairs and hid the books and parchments that no one knew about. Then, he went downstairs and hung around with Ron, Hermione and Ginny for a while before eating dinner and going to bed because the next morning he would be returning to Hogwarts.
