The Group goes to the bank to get some money.
As they come out of the bank, they see Hermione and her parents approach.
"Hey 'Mione," Harry says.
"Harry," Hermione says and hugs him. "How was your summer?"
"The same as all the others," Harry says after he stops hugging her. "Had a vision. Got shipped off to the burrow."
"What was you vision about?" Hermione asks.
"Later," Harry says. "How was your summer?"
"I studied a lot," Hermione says.
"What else is new?" Ron mutters under his breath.
"What?" Hermione asks turning to Ron.
"You're always studying," Ron says.
"It's better than never studying," Hermione says.
"I study, but I'm not obsess with it," Ron says. "Like a certain witch I know."
"What is that suppose to mean?" Hermione asks.
"It means that you study non stop on hours end and what has it gotten you?" Ron asks.
"Top in our house as well as our year," Hermione says.
"Guys!" Harry says. "Can you two stop arguing for one minute?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Wesley starts to laugh.
Everyone turns to her.
"What's so funny, mum?" Ginny asks.
"Nothing," Mrs. Wesley says. "Nothing."
"Ok," Harry says. "Why don't we go get our supplies?"
"Alright," Hermione says.
"Sure," Ron says.
"Mum? Dad? Do you want to come?" Hermione asks.
"No, sweetie. Go on with your friends," Mione's mum says.
"Yeah, Honey," Hermione's dad says.
"Why don't us adults go to the Leaky Cauldron," Mrs. Wesley says. "We'll meet there at noon."
The "children" all nod.
Then the parents walk away.
"Let's go before they start up again," Harry says to Ginny.
"Yeah," Ginny says.
They start to walk to Madam Malkin's for All Occasions.
"Hey," Ron and Hermione say together as they catch up with Harry and Ginny.
Draco walks down Knockturn Alley right behind Pixe.
"Can we do this quickly?" He asks. "I don't want to be here more than I have to."
"And you think I do?" Pixe asks. "We'll be out of here soon, Dragon."
Pixe walks into Theo's Odds and Ends with Draco behind her.
"Hello, Pixe," Theo says. "What can I do for you?"
"Picking up a few books," Pixe says. "They should be in back."
Theo walks into the back.
"A few book? For the whole school?" Draco whispers.
"You'll see," Pixe says.
Theo walks back into the room carrying two boxes.
He sets them down on the counter.
"That will be 7 Gallons," Theo says.
Pixe knells down and pulls a bag out of her right boot.
She pulls out 10 gold coins then puts the bag back into her boot.
Standing up, Pixe gives Theo the coins.
Then she hands one box to Draco and carries the other one out of the store.
Draco follows her out.
"Why did you give him 10 when he only said 7?" Draco asks.
"So he won't tell anyone I brought these books from him," Pixe says.
"In case someone wants to find out where you got them," Draco says.
"Right," Pixe says. "Now let's get out of here. This place gives me the creeps."
They walk out of Knockturn Alley with a pair of eyes following their every move.
Harry's group enters the robe shop and sees Seamus getting fitted for his robe.
Harry smiles and says, "Hey Seamus."
"Hey Guys," Seamus says turning his head to them. "What's going on?"
"Nothing. Just getting school stuff," Harry says. "You?"
"Same," Seamus says.
"All done, dear," The Seamstress says.
"Thanks," Seamus says and hops off the stool. "Looks like you need this, too."
"You think?" Harry asks looking down at his robe; the bottom of it hangs just below his knees and his sleeves are to his elbows.
"I personally don't mind but the professors might," Seamus says. "Then they might not. It is a good view."
"I'll get the adjustments anyway," Harry says.
"On well," Seamus says. "How was you summer?"
"The same," Harry says. "Yours?"
"Boring. Need some fun," Seamus says. "Offering?"
"Seamus. We've talked about this," Harry says.
"Just friends," Seamus says. "Got it."
Harry steps on to the stool.
"So that's how things are," Ron says.
"What do you mean?" Seamus says.
"If you don't like him than…" Ron says ignoring Seamus' question. "Oh wow."
"What?" Seamus asks.
"I know who Harry likes," Ron says.
"Who?" Seamus asks.
"Don't tell him, Ron," Harry says.
"Ok. I wont," Ron says.
"Well you're no fun," Seamus says. "I've been trying to find that out for years."
"You just want to set us up," Harry says.
"And what's wrong with that?" Seamus asks. "It will make you happy."
"But it's impossible for us to be together," Harry says.
"Nothing is impossible," Seamus says.
"This is," Harry says stepping off the stool and walks over to Seamus. "So stay out of it. All right?"
"All right," Seamus says. "Never have any fun."
Draco follows Pixe into Flourish and Blotts.
"Hello Pixe," The owner says. "You can put them over there."
He points to an empty table against the back wall.
Pixe and Draco walk over and set the boxes on top of the table.
Pixe opens her box and pulls out three books then opens Draco's box and pulls out four more.
"That was all you brought," Draco says.
"Watch, Little Dragon," Pixe says.
She puts one of the books in front of her on the table.
Then Pixe takes off her backpack, opens it, and pulls out her wand.
Taping the book with her wand, Pixe says, "Two."
The book doubles so now there is two of the same book right next to each other.
"I've never heard of that spell before," Draco says.
"It's just a duplication spell," Pixe says as she duplicates the rest of the books enough for the whole school. "What are you learning at that school of yours?"
Before Draco could answer, someone interrupts, "Pixe. Why are you talking to Malfory?"
Draco looks at who it is.
'Granger, Weasel, Weasellet, and…' He thinks. 'Harry.'
