AN: Ok how was the last chapter everybody. I put yet another twist in this story making Miggorian a vampire. She'll be popping up again sooner than you might think.
Chapter 14Carriages transported them to Homesgade after lunch. Harry, unfortunately turned back into a kid on the way and was bouncing around, screaming that he couldn't wait to go to Honeydukes much to the annoyance of Draco. He was great at Potions and hoped he could find a way to speed up the wearing off of the potion. This couldn't go on forever.
"We're here!" Harry squealed and jumped out of the thestral driven carriage. Draco followed him, once more the babysitter and grabbed Harry's hand. He would have to set his romantic feelings aside and replace them with big brotherly ones, for now.
"We are going shopping first." Draco said. At first Harry pouted, but then he cried with glee. "Oh this will be so fun Drakey! I alweady got a pwesent (present) for Mione, but I aint got one for Ronnie!"
Harry handed Draco a large sack of money who blinked at it before putting into the endless, lightweight pocket in his robe along with his sack of money. He let Harry drag him to the broom shop. Harry peeked out of the window to make sure Ron wasn't nearby before he scanned over the brooms.
"Look Drakey. I want to buy Ron dat one." Harry said pointing to a broom. It was a new realease called the Cosmic Zoomer Xl. It was faster than a firebolt but it could not maneuver and do as many tricks as Harry's broom could but Harry thought it was perfect. He grabbed the broom and practically shoved it to the clerk who wrapped it up and sent it to Hogwarts for them. Draco paid for it and they shopped for other small gifts for minor friends.
"Draco go away." Harry said to him. "I'm going to buy your present so go away and pick me up in ten minutes at Honeydukes."
Draco was miffed that he was bossing someone who was almost parallel to his thigh but did so nonetheless, muttering a charm over Harry that would tell him where he was. As he walked away, he was excited and rather thrilled. He went into a store to browse around for a present for Harry.
As he scanned the shelves he stopped short and bent down slightly. What he saw there would be the perfect gift for Harry. He had the owner of the store put it in a golden box with a red ribbon on top and he paid for it, not even wincing at the expensive price. He slipped the gift into his pocket and browsed around some more deciding to get a few more gifts. After he bought two more items, Draco left to go find Harry. Using the spell he cast on him earlier, Draco found Harry walking towards Honeydukes and Draco hurriedly joined him. Even if it was for a few minutes, Draco felt uncomfortable leaving little Harry all by himself. There could have been death eaters around. Sure enough, he spotted a cloaked figure dart into an alley behind Hog's Inn.
Draco let Harry into Honeydukes. "We're leaving." Draco said when Hermione asked Harry if he wanted some candy. "I think I saw a death eater." He explained when she gave him an inquisitive look. Her face paled and she grabbed Harrry's hand much to the annoyance of Draco.
"Oh Harry, I shouldn't have been so stupid as to let you come here. Neither should the professors. The whole Wizarding world most likely knows your predicament, why I bet that Daily…………"
"Mione. Harry's accident's in the paper! Ron said running over to them.
"…….Prophet." Hermione finished with a sigh. She looked at Malfoy. Draco, I don't really want to ruin your time here at Homesgade but you must take Harry to McGonagall so he may go back to Hogwarts immediately!" she informed him as if he was a child.
Nevertheless, Draco knew it had to be done. "Come on Harry. Perhaps your Head of House can portkey us or something."
Harry shook his head, making his ebony locks even messier. "No Drakey. I have a bedda way." The toddler said with a mischevious twinkle in his eye.

"So tell me again how you discovered this dark, dank, dirty passage." Draco said in disgust as a cobweb attached to his robes. Obviously Harry had no problem was he was skipping ahead, humming a tune a daddy long leg on his shoulder which Draco flicked off.
"Fred and George gave me a special map that my fadda and his fwiends made when they were at Hogwartty. It shows this short cut to Homesgade!" Harry explained in a sing song voice. A bag of Honeydukes was in his hand that Hermione had given to him full with all assortment of candies and chocolates. Draco could never be to old for candy and was enjoying a bag of Gummy Octopuses as they walked along the passage. Finally they reached the end.
"Morcopulus." Harry said and a passage opened and Harry flounced through with a leap and the platum haired teenager followed. When he looked behind them, he recognized the statue of an old hag and they had come out of her rump like giant excretments. He was just glad to be out of that tunnel. Draco loved being clean.
"Drakey, what did u get me for my pwesent?" Harry asked giant green eyes hopeful and bright full of excitement.
Draco smirked. "That's for me to know and you to find out." He said and they began to walk back to his room. As they were about to turn a corridor, Draco pulled Harry back telling him to be quiet. They peeked their heads around the corner watching as Miggorian was talking to……Cornelius Fudge? What was he doing here? Draco could barely make out their conversation and didn't want to risk being heard to say a hearing spell.
"………Dumbledore's plan………The Order………catching on….young Malfoy……" Draco's ears perked when he heard his name and was frustrated he couldn't hear the conversation. "Let's go." He whispered to Harry and they turned and left Draco wondering what the hell was going on.
