Chapter 9
"Why did you stop me? " Harry asked them furiously.
"Because we didn't want you to get into trouble with him, and besides we can't use magic yet remember, " Hermione explained as they made their way to Gringotts Bank.
They came out into the sun a half and hour later, Harry's and Hermione's pockets full of Galleons, Sickles, Knuts ( Wizard Money ). They made their way flourish and Blotts, Walking in there a store clerk came to see if they need any service.
"May I help you? " he asked
"Harry do you have you new book list " Ron asked him.
"No " Harry said slapping himself on the forehead "I forgot it as Sirius's "
"No problem I have mine since we're taking the same subjects, we'll have the same books " Ron told him.
Rom rummaged through his pockets and came up with a folded yellow piece of parchment and handed it over to Harry, and he read down the list of books:
SIXTH YEAR STUDENT COURSE BOOKS
Standard Book of Spells, Grade Six By Miranda Goshawk Advanced Transfiguration By Artemis Caileter Your Future Awaits You By Nubia Malacter
"So these are the new books this year huh? " Harry said.
"Yep " Ron replied.
"Okay so I need Standard Book of Spell, Grade Six, Advanced Transfiguration, and Your Future Awaits You " Harry told the clerk.
As they watched him go back, Harry went around and looked at the other books with Hermione at his side.
"You know I don't think Ron likes this very much " Harry said.
"Don't like what very much " Hermione said.
"You and Me dating " Harry told her holding up their entwined hands.
"Oh that, I don't think so either but he'll get over it " Hermione said.
"Here you are sir, " The store clerk said handing the books to Harry.
"Um thanks " Harry said paying the man, then walking out of the bookshop.
Hermione dragged them off to her refills on potion ingredients, then to get ink, parchment, and quills.
"That should do it " Harry said then remembered, "I need to get new robes "
So they went to Madame Malkin's for Harry to purchase new Hogwarts robes. After that they just strolled around Diagon Alley until it was two o'clock, walking into Florean Fortescues's, they immediately spotted the rest of their group.
Heading over there, they noticed another black-cloaked hooded figure watching them. This seemed to bother Hermione.
"Um Harry who is that person " she asked him.
"I dunno just keep walking, then we'll ask them who it is when we get over there " Harry said in a whisper.
Walking up to the table were all the Weasley's and Sirius were. Harry took the seat by Sirius.
"Sirius can you tell us who that is over there " Harry asked him pointing at the stranger.
"I think its Dung " Sirius told him quietly
"Why would he be following me I thought you said no ones following me anymore because I'm with you " Harry said.
"Well apparently Dumbledore still wants you to be followed even with all of us around " Sirius said
"Ok that explains it " Harry said.
They ordered ice cream; it took about an hour for all of them to finish because the servings were huge and with a lot of brain freezes.
After finishing, they paid and went outside and prepared to separate and be on their way.
"Well we better get going you two have a lot to do before term starts " Mrs. Weasley said.
"Yeah I know what you mean by that " Harry said "Bye see you soon "
Hugs were exchanged especially between Harry and Hermione. Hermione was surprised by the look on her face when Harry kissed her on the lips before heading off.
It didn't take nearly as long to get back home this time because there was no hold ups, but it was almost dark when they entered the living room.
The next month passed usually fast and uneventful. Living with Sirius was a blast it was the most fun that Harry has ever had in a long time. But on the train is when a new secret about Harry is revealed.
