Brief synopsis

"Well we weren't planning too, but we decided too. You know we wouldn't want kids to go to Hogwarts unprepared." Fred or was it George said Harry still couldn't tell them apart.

Chapter 5:

"Ron," One of the twins said," Is mum and Dad here?" Ron nodded and continued looking around.

"Would you mates like a tour?" One of the twins asked. Harry and Ron nodded enthusiastically. Fred and George first showed them around the shop. Their shop was even better than Zonko's in Hogsmeade. When Fred and George showed Harry and Ron the Skiving Snackboxs they both picked up two boxes each. By the end of the tour Harry and Ron had quite an assortment of things (including invisible hats.) As they both began to pull out their money bags both of the twins shook their heads,

"No." One of them said sternly," If it wasn't for you Harry we wouldn't have been able to do this and Ron your family." Harry and Ron put their stuff in bags and they left the shop promising to pull a prank on the new defense against the dark arts professor.

They started to walk to Flourish and Blots to the there books when Ron stopped,

"Wait a minute! Where's Hermione?" Ron asked looking a bit puzzled.

"Oh," Harry said," She said she wanted to come but she had some family in town."

"CRASH"

Harry had just smacked head on into a person.

"Sorry." He mumbled as he started to pick up his things.

"It's okay." The man mumbled in return picking up his things and standing up quickly. Harry glanced up at the man and froze. Who was he? He looked so, so familiar. Harry searched his mind for a name that could match the face but couldn't find one.

"Harry you okay?" Ron asked handing a book to him.

"Ya," Harry replied still a bit dazed, "Ya, I'm fine."

They walked up to the front desk and pulled out their supplie lists.

"And what years are you young gentlemen in?" the old man asked.

"Um… We're in 6th year." Ron replied nonchalantly

"Well then," the man started," You better go start looking for your books because this year you are going to be starting careers."

"Duh!" Harry said too himself as he and Ron started walking away. "I can't believe we forgot."

"Oh, Ron, what career did you choose?" Harry asked wile skimming the shelves for his potion book yes his potion book. Harry had gotten 8 owls and had been accepted to all of the classes needed for auror training.

"Oh…" Ron said turning a bid red," Um I chose auror training." He finished pretending to look for a book even though the book he needed was in his hands.

"That's great, that means we'll have all the same classes together." Harry replied giving him a big smile making Ron smile happily in return.

After finding the Potion book they went and got their Transfiguration books, Charms books, Defense Against the Dark Arts book, and the other books they needed. As they were buying their stuff Ron asked,

"Who do you think the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be?"

"I have no idea." Harry said as he handed the cashier his money. "Maybe it will be Lupin again or Madeye-Moody." He suggested.

"No," Ron said shaking his head" they will be at the ministry or at the order of the phoenix headquarters."

The two boys walked out of the store and started walking down the street to the owlery.

"So," Harry began," Hows pigwedion? Is he better than he was last time?"

"No, he's still the same nut as he use to be." Ron replied. They had arrived at the owlery and they dispersed with talking and began to pick out the treats they would buy for their owls. They payed and as they walked out Harry saw someone, but it couldn't be who he thought it was could it?

"Jessica!" he yelled and he started running down the street after her. "Jessica, wait!" he finally reached her and he turned her around, but it wasn't her it was a girl that extremely like her with the clothes she was wearing, but the face was different. "Oh sorry." He mumbled, "I thought you were someone else."

"S'okay." The girl mumbled in return walking away.

"Harry!" Ron said,"What was that? All of a sudden we were walking down the street to go get ice-cream when you started to yell Jessica and you started to chase after her."

"Oh," Harry sighed, "Sorry. Dudley brought over a girl on Sunday and she is really nice and stuff and that girl looks just like her."

"Oh was it her?" Ron questioned standing on his tippee-toes to see if he could get a glimpse of her.

"No, it was a girl who looked just like her." Harry replied a bit out of breath after running. "Can you just imagine Dudley dating a witch?"

"No, that thought would never ever cross my mind!" Ron said laughing. "He would probably tear off the skin where she even stood close to him."

"So we still on for ice-cream?" Harry asked as he finished laughing

"Ya! I'm starved!" Ron replied. The two boys continued laughing as they walked over to the ice-cream store and ordered their ice-cream.

"So, where should we go next?" Ron asked.

"How about you go back to your ikle mummy Weasley." A familiar voice.

Harry and Ron whipped around and there were Malfoy, Crabb, Goyle.

"Surprise!" Malfoy said with a sneer. "Happy to see us Potter? We certainly are glad to see you."

"Bug off Malfoy!" Ron said pulling out his wand.

"Like I said before Weasley why don't you go back to your ikle mummy she certainly is wide enough to hide you." Malfoy said as if he was talking to a fly.

"Why don't you go to –

"RON!" Harry yelled trying to keep him from saying the next word and starting a fight.

"And like we said before Malfoy bug off." Harry said drawing his wand as a defense.

"This is between you and me Potter. So why don't you tell Weasley to go beg for some money for him to buy new books."

Harry grabbed Ron and held him back while Ron was struggling to tackle Malfoy and start punching the daylights out of him.

"Malfoy why don't you and your friends go visit your fathers in Azkaban!" Ron yelled at him still struggling to get free.

"Now you've gone too far Weasley." Malfoy said, "We will get you, but not here there are to many people." The three started to look around.

"Better watch your back Weasley!" Malfoy said shoving Ron's back as he walked away causing Ron's face to go into his ice-cream.

"I hate him with a passion!" Ron said menacingly to Harry.

"I know so do I, but I wonder why they were looking around." Harry asked looking around as well. "Let's hurry and get the rest of our stuff it's almost dark." Harry said pulling his jacket tighter around him to keep out the breeze that had just swept by.

"Ya, we better hurry." Ron said trying to wipe off the ice-cream on his face.

The two went to the candy store and purchased enough candy to last until the first Hogsmeade trip. They grabbed all their stuff and reluctantly went back through the brick wall to the Leaky Cauldron. As soon as they were in the Leaky Cauldron Mrs. Weasley was upon them.

"Oh there you boys are we were afraid something had happened to you."

"We're fine mum we just lost track of time." Ron said paying for a cup of tea he just ordered.

"You boy's got everything alright then?" She questioned looking up and down on the boys.

"Ya, we're perfectly fine and we found everything we needed." Harry said also starting to drink a cup of tea.

"Okay, then Harry you should probably be going the knight bus is surely here already here." She said as she started to wipe a smug off of Ron's nose.

"Alright, Ron I'll see you on Sunday at 11:00?" Harry asked

"I'll save a seat in my compartment for you." Ron replied smiling

"Bye everyone!" Harry said as he got onto the Knight Bus for the trip home.

All the bumpy way back to the Dursley's house Harry didn't think of how his day went he for some reason thought of Jessica. The way she laughed and smiled at anything he said or anything Dudley said, the way her hair fell softly onto her shoulders was perfect in everyway. STOP!! Harry said to himself she was Dudley's girl and he could not think of her in that way. "Wait!" he thought Dudley never said anything about them being boyfriend and girlfriend. Jessica had also never said anything and she had dodged his kiss at the movie theater. Maybe she was just a friend to him she had never done anything to suggest they were anything more than that. Well he decided he could think of her all he wanted, thinking never hurt anybody.

When Harry arrived home he went straight up to his room and dressed in his pajamas almost mechanically. He turned off the light and lay there for a few minutes. He then fell asleep with the feeling he was going to be home in just 1 more day.
