Here I am.

The disclaimer is in chapter one.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful reviews.

Well, enjoy!

………

You think that somehow the Fates have guided you here (in reality it just fits in with the plot). The book store was old and grimy. There were stains on the walls, from what could have only been blood, there was a large rug in the middle of the room, a large brown couch and coffee table with only a single candle upon it, it's flames flickering strange shadows. All the walls were bare and at the far corner of the room stood an old man at a desk. On that desk sat a small book which could have been a diary or organizer from the looks of it.

The man looks at you and you feel like squirming under his stare.

"Welcome, young lady, to Bugle's Books for every subject. I hope I can help you. Of course, that is, if you are indeed even looking for a book…?" He let the sentence trail off and he stood there waiting for an answer.

You look towards him and reply, "Well, yes I am looking for a book. But…" You're not sure what to say. Does he even have any Dark Magic books? Of course he doesn't! This place is totally devoid of books!

"I'm not sure which I want." That will do.

"Ahh… I see. Well, come thither and over to my desk."

You walk silently towards his desk and he smiles down at you. His bald head shines even though there is only one candle in the middle of the room. He waits a while, staring at you yet again and pushes that small book forward.

You look at the book then back to the man questioningly. He smiles.

"Open the book, Miss. Write your name on the line provided and I will find you your book." He waves his hand, an ink pot and a quill appears. He was using wand-less magic.

You take the quill and quickly sign your name onto the paper, not thinking if you have signed some unknown contract, just wanting to hurry up and get out of there. He takes the book and looks at it for a moment. Suddenly, five books materialize out of thin air, sitting on the desk.

"These, m'dear are for you. The books must be kept out of site from others as they could possibly be traced back here from certain spells. Now, that will be 3 galleons."

That was an amazingly small price for these ancient looking dark books, and you handed him the money. He smiles at you knowingly. You get the feeling he is trying to get rid of these books quickly, as in any other circumstance books that looked this pricey would have been, well, pricey.

You thanked him quietly and walked from the book store - luckily you didn't meet him on your way back to the Leaky Cauldron.

You hurry back through the halls, hoping no one noticed your disappearance that day. You come to your dorm and take out your books, hide them under your bed, then head off down to the common room with 'Hogwarts, A History'. Got to keep up appearances, hey?

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed.

Amazing review thanx go to:

Andrea-nm - Thank you for reading my fic. Very much appreciated. Reviews make me feel special. I'm glad you are going to continue reading.

Kralia - Ooohh. I was reading your review and I was like….. You're cool. Lol thanx, I'm not that good of a writer, but I just got this idea and went for it. Much appreciated. I enjoy the feedback.

jessika black - glad you like it. Good to hear from you again. I'm glad you love it. I feel special.

JuliaBeth - Yeah….I know. But I decided to do it from like an alternative point of view, as if everything isn't as 'perfect' as the books. But I don't mean to say that everything is perfect in the books, it just sometimes seems that way. Thanks for the review. It was kind of constructive criticism, I like that.

Singergirl22 - Hmm…..I can't tell you if Hermione uses dark magic against Mr Weasley because that would spoil it….. But if you can keep a secret…..yes. Lol. Do people read review replies? I love it when I find my name in a review reply. You'll just have to read some more to find out what is going to happen. Thanks for the review. Very much appreciated. You have reviewed My every chapter so far, and for that, I give you a cookie (or whatever edible food you prefer).

Review please.
