There were numerous smiles and a few people cheered as Molly served out the rest of breakfast.
"After you eat, upstairs with you lot to get ready, Dumbledore says you're to go with him," commented Shadow as he sat down and helped himself to food.
"Are you sure he said he - I mean, they could go?" asked Molly suddenly looking nervous.
"Yes, Molly, Dumbledore said everyone who wanted to go could go." Shadow replied taking a bite of French toast.
"Well then what he says goes, of course," she said with a fake smile as she took a seat at the table and began her breakfast.
"Me and Remus will come with you, Molly," Rose said from her seat beside Remus. Tonks volunteered to go along with Arthur, the Dailys, and the Grangers. After eating almost everyone fled upstairs to get ready for the trip to Diagon Alley. The only one who stayed was Shadow as he watched the last people trickle out of the kitchen.
Harry dashed up the stairs and quickly claimed the showers on his floor. A little bit later he slipped into his and ran to his room and got some clothes. Ron disappeared into the bathroom and Harry got ready silently. Two hours after breakfast had officially ended they were ready to go.
Molly Weasley stood in the lead in front of the door checking over everyone. Suddenly a figured stepped forward from one of the doorways.
"I'm coming too, Molly." Shadow said.
"Of course, Shadow, that's perfectly alright." Molly replied not speaking her opinion that with him there she felt a little bit better about everyone's safety. Arthur opened the door and led the somewhat large group out into the streets. Waiting for them were three cars each driven by a figure in green.
"Well everyone climb in and no fighting over who sits where and such understood." There were numerous nods as everyone filled into the car. Harry took a seat between Ron and blaise in what was donned the young car for the only one over 21 was Shadow who was seated up front looking somewhat bored.
The journey to Diagon Alley seemed to take forever even though the cars seemed to glide through traffic. Finally they arrived outside the small building that was known as the Leaky Cauldron. Quickly they filed out of the cars and into the small building.
"What can I get you lot?" asked the balding bar keeper, Tom.
"Nothing, Tom, just passing through," replied Shadow as he led the group out of the bar and into the courtyard behind it. Pulling out his wand he tapped something out onto the wall and watched impatiently as the gateway opened slowly. The alley in front of them was crowded with witches and wizards all trying to shop.
"I guess we'll have to split up into groups. Harry, you come with me, Tonks, and Arthur." Molly began.
"Molly," Shadow warned, shaking his head. " Harry and Blaise will come with me, Ron and Hermione will go with Molly."
The girls and Remus and rose. "Arthur can host the Grangers and Dailys and Tonks can go with Molly." Shadow said quietly and then he nodded for Blaise and Harry to come on and they started down the street going in different directions. Shadow led Harry and Blaise quickly down the street and into the wizarding bank. He hurried to a counter and a goblin appeared to take them down into the vaults. After they had gotten money from each of their accounts, they head down to Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and they sat down to wait their turn.
While they waited on the small line, Shadow stood in the corner watching everything in the street. Soon after they entered they were out the door, and though they had been given packages they carried none. Quickly cutting through the crowd he led them into Flourish and Blott's. They moved through the crowds and took down the books on their list then they joined the line to the front desk.
"Is this all?" asked the sales witch behind the counter and with a nod she rang up their books and wrapped them. Harry and Blaise paid for them and Shadow put them in a bag that was small compared to all it had in it and returned it to his pocket. With a nod to the witch they turned and hurried out of the shop.
Shadow seemed to cut through the crowd as he led them to the different stores where they had to get their supplies. Finally they finished and Shadow led the way to a table outside of the ice cream shop.
"You two want anything?" Shadow asked as they got comfortable.
"Uh, get me a vanilla milkshake." Harry replied, pulling out his money bag to only put it back as Shadow shook his head.
"I'll take a strawberry milkshake, please," Blaise said and with a nod, Shadow disappeared into the store.
"Finally we get to spend some time together," said Harry with a small smile.
"Well it is hard to get some quiet time alone with you, Potter."
"You're not alone yet, kiddos." Shadow replied setting the shakes down on the table.
"Well if it isn't the mighty Potty face and the traitor." He spat this last word with vengeance in the direction of Blaise.
"Back, Malfoy," spat Harry.
"Or what, Potter? Going to go cry to your mummy? Oh wait, she's dead."
Harry was restrained by Shadow's hand as he stood up and pulled Malfoy across the table.
"Listen here, boy, I will hurt you. If you don't keep your big fat mouth shut, I'll make you." Shadow growled, tossing Draco to the floor.
"Now get lost, scumbag." He ordered, dropping into his seat.
"Watch yourself, Potter, he might look harmless but he's trained in many deadly fighting ways." Shadow said, sipping his milkshake.
"I know, but he's always provoking me. Sometimes I can't help it." Harry replied, also taking a sip of his milkshake.
"I know your temper gets to you, trust me I know." Shadow replied.
"Malfoy's scum of the worst kind." Blaise said, watching the street traffic.
"It's not the boy, it's how he was raised." Shadow replied.
"But enough of this talk it's about time we met up with everyone else." Shadow said and together they stood and followed him back up the street where their group was forming back up. They where almost completely ready when and explosion rang in their ears. Out of Knockturn Alley a group of wizards in black robes were marching.
"Get down, everyone! It's the..."
