Chapter 1

Rianna smiled. School started in two days. They were going to get school supplies today. Though she was still having those weird dreams. That Tommy guy hadn't shown up in any of them since that night, a week ago, though. But those children. And that rhyme!

One, Two. Freddy's coming for you.

Three, Four. Better lock your door.

Five, Six. Grab your crucifix.

Seven, Eight. Better stay up late.

Nine, Ten. Never sleep again.

She shuddered. For right after remembering the rhyme, she remembered the screeching sound of nails on a chalkboard. No, worse. Knifes.

"Get that out of your mind, Rianna!" She scolded herself.

Her brother's head poked into the library, where she was hiding out. "Time to go!"

She jumped up, and nodded. "M'kay!"

She smiled at her brother, and he left. She knew he knew she hadn't been getting much sleep. She was always in the library.

Oh! She couldn't wait until she got to school! She had all those spells for staying awake, or the potion for dreamless sleeping!

She hurried out of the room, after her brother. And stopped when she got down the two flights of stairs from the library.

James was waiting for her by the fire, with the pot for floo powder in his hand. "Mum and Dad are busy today, Mum said she'd try and meet us there though."

Ria nodded. She'd already figured as much. Mum worked for the Ministry in the school department, and got busier and busier as the school year came closer. And Dad was an Auror(sp?_.

She shook her head, and took a small handful of floo powder through it into the fire, stepped in, and shouted "DIAGON ALLEY!" clearly, and perfectly pronounced.

She stepped out of the fire on the other side, and waited for James. And waited... and waited... "Where is he?" she muttered.

Then he appeared. "Hey.."

"What took so long."

"Nothin... just almost forgot my money, and Sirius wanted me to pick somethin up. He appeared in the fire, right after you left."

"He isn't going today?" Sounding disappointed.

James shook his head. "Got himself in trouble. Remus and I are getting his stuff for him. He sent me the money with an owl."

"Oh. I see... Well, I gotta get a new robe, so I'll go there first. You can do your Quidditch shopping while I do that."

"Yes, Ma'am!" He responded, soluting. Then he winked at her playfully, and she rolled her eyes.

"Seeya in a bit." And she took off towards _________________, to get new robes.

Ria walked in and looked around. Besides her, there was one other student in the store. She took a seat to wait her turn.

"Hello there. How can I help you two?"

Whoever else was in there looked at her. She was sure she knew him from somewhere. "We're here to get new robes, why else would we be here?" He said to the woman, somewhat harshly.

"What he said, Ma'am. I need new school robes, and one or two sets of dress robes, please."

"Of course, Ria." She said, looking at her.

"Hurry up, I don't have all day!" The boy said suddenly.

The woman nodded and led them back. She took her measurements, as well as his, and told them to wait there.

"So.. you do exist." He said to Ria, suddenly.

"Huh?" She blinked in surprise. He sounded alot nicer suddenly, too.

"Never mind." He replied, shaking his head.

"Wait.. Tommy?"

"No one calls me that, but yeah."

"You look different than you did in the dream."

"Changed my hair since then."

"Oh.. It looked better before, in my opinion."

"Hmm.. maybe I'll change it back when I get on the train. So, you're a witch. Shoulda guessed." He shrugged.

"Why were you so mean to her, but are being so nice to me?"

"Heh. She's been acting stupid since the first time I came here, I mean 'What do you need?' Well, seeing as this is a place to get robes, maybe i need robes!"

Ria smiled, "Yeah, but sometimes people come in for material. I do sometimes. Or there are some really nice earings and braclets and magical watches that tell the time, the date, and where you are."

"Hmm.. didn't know there was so much stuff here. Maybe I'll be a bit nicer next time."

Ria smiled at him. "So. You go to Hogwarts?" When he nodded, she continued. "What house?"

"Ravenclaw, you?"

"Gryffendor."

Then the lady came back. "All right, here are your school robes, and you can come with me to look at dress robes now, Ria."

"Umm.. Can I get these held here, until i'm ready to go home, please? I'll have tons to carry as is."

"Of course, Ria." And she took the things and set them down behind the counter, on the way to the dress robes.

Tom sat down, to wait for Ria.

Ten minutes later, she was done. Which shocked Tommy to death, for most girls he knew took hours, when looking through clothes.

"Ok! Let's go. Bye, and thank you for the help, I'll see you in a bit!" She said, in one breath.

The lady smiled and nodded.

Tommy stood up, and walked with Ria outside. "So, where to?"

"Books. Then potions stuff. Hmm... I think that's it.." Ria replied, smiling at him.

"Yo! Ria!" Shouted James, as they walked by the Quidditch shop.

She turned and looked at him, "Yeah?"

"Turns out that... Who's that?"

"This is Tommy."

James looks him over. "I see. Does this Tommy have a last name?"

"No." Came Tommy's voice.

"Probably, but he hasn't told me." She answered. "What books do you need me to get? I'm also getting us both new cauldrons."

"You know him?" Tommy asked her, being all nice again.

"Yeah. He's my older brother, unfortunately. Somewhat of a pain in my neck, and in cases like this, my back."

"Right..."

"Whatever. Anyways, Sirius managed to get out, though he'll have to stay with us until school now, so, You go ahead and go home when our shopping is done, we're gunna stay a bit longer." James said, quickly before going back inside. "Bye!"

"Bye to you too.." She sighed, then looked at Tom. "Shall we go now?"

"Yeah..."

After about half an hour, again record timing, Tommy, James, and Ria's shopping was all done, thanks to Ria. Tommy even bought Ria a new kitten. Ria and Tommy had talked, and she had surprised the Ravenclaw, by knowing more than him in almost everything.

They had also decided to try dating. Rianna's first boyfriend.

"Well.." she started, when they got to the fire. "I guess I should head home. I need to get started on dinner, since Mum won't be home until late." She sighed.

Tommy nodded, and leaned down and gave her a slight kiss. "See you on the train." And he stepped forward. "I gotta get home too. Thanks for the help with my shopping!"

"Thanks for the kitten!" She replied, smiling.

"No prob. Seeya!" Then he walked into the fire and shouted something. He was gone.

She also went home.
