Chapter 1: Meeting at Diagon Alley

Hermione Granger's eyes fluttered open at the sound of the alarm clock screaming at her to wake up. "Hermione,wake up. We're going to Diagon Alley to get your school things today, dear." Mrs. Granger called from downstairs. "Wouldn't want to be late meeting Harry & Ron would you." Hermione slipped out of bed and slowly ambled down the stairs to the kitchen. "Oh there you are, pumpkin" Mr. Granger said from behind a newspaper. "We were getting worried about you."
"I'm fine, dad. But please don't call me pumpkin, it's embarrasing. I am going to my 6th year of Hogwarts you know." Hermione said matter-of- factly. "I know, you're getting so grown up. Just think. MY little girl is almost grown up and someday she's going to get married and have children and..." Mrs. Granger started but was soon cut off by Mr. Granger, who gave her a strange look which Hermione could not interpret. After eating her toast and jam, she ran upstairs and slipped on a mid-thigh black skirt and a slightly revealing black tank top.

"Oh Hermione, you catch a cold wearing that." Her mother chided. "Mom, I want to wear something cool. I'm not all brains you know. I do care about the way I look in front of people." "Well put a jacket on at least" said her mother. Taking the underground to London, Hermione and her mother made there way to The Leaky Cauldron, where they were greeted by Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Luna. "Hey H'mione, Over 'ere." Said Ron as they entered. "Hey Ron, Harry, how are you?" "Fine, except I missed you" said Harry. "I could have used your help on my potions essay." "Oh Harry, it was so easy. He's practically handing us an A on a silver platter. I mean it is so simple. Who doesn't know how to make a potion to block a sirens singing?" "Us" Ron and Harry responded in unison.

"Hey Hermione, what's up? What have you been up to this summer? I missed you." Ginny said, rushing towards Hermione and giving her a big hug. "Not you too"Hermione said. "Don't be silly, Herm, I totally missed you for a good reason. Summer was so boring, except for meeting some totally hot guys." "Oh brother" said Luna from her corner seat. "I'm leaving, there's too much love going on around here." She then went out the door and onto the street. "Whats' her problem." Ginny asked questioningly.

After finishing their drinks, they all went the back and entered Diagon Alley. "We need to go meet my mum for lunch at Madame Osmertanda's Pizzeria ." Ron told everyone as they strolled towards a quaint little resturaunt with red and white canopies with matching tables and chairs. A short red haired woman was just telling the waitress that she would need more chairs, when they stopped in front of the building. "Oh there you kids are. Thank you,Yvonne,that will do." Mrs. Weasley called, waving them in to come sit down and eat. She had ordered two large Peppy Pepperoni pizzas, one medium Chocolate Frog pizza, and a butterbeer for each of them. "Hermione, good to see you dear." Mrs. Weasley said as Hermione sat down next to her. They ate their meal through conversation and Ginny whispered to Hermione about her experience with a muggle lifeguard over the summer. "... and he ran over and dove in to the water and saved me. When I didn't open my eyes he leaned down and ..." Ginny said before Mrs. Weasley interrupted. "Alright kids, I have to do some shopping so you go and look around and I'll meet you at Gringotts." With that she got up and hurried away.

"Well I guess we better go." Harry said. "Yeah, why waste a perfect day like this sitting around doing nothing. I don't think anything could ruin it." Ron said beaming. " Well, maybe seeing Malfoy and his gang or maybe Ginny and Hermione dragging us around clothes shopping in London" "Oh shut up, Ron. It's not like that will happen."Ginny Retorted "anyway, we better get our school stuff." Looking at the List of things they needed, Hermione read all the things they needed. "Lets see.

1)Defeating the Dark Side by Mouseir Menockoff

2)The Standard Book of Spells, Year 6

3) Advanced Transfiguration and Animagi

4)Predictions From Nature by Roskne Smaoe

5)The Exact Science of Potion Making by Schminoff Joniun

6)Magical History by Malkina Mystery

And 7) Magical Animals and their properties, Year 6, by Egar Hioson"

Hermione preached. "Oh yes and it says we need formal robes and
a fine outfit for a dance later this year." "Gosh we need all that. How am I gonna afford that" Ron said glummly. "I'll help you out, mate. I got some extra cash stored away." "Thanks, 'arry." Ron said gleaming. They went to Flourish and Blotts, Eelops Owl Emporium,and then went to meet Mrs. Weasley at Gringotts. There they got some money for robes and waved good bye to Mrs. Weasley. As they walked towards Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, their worst fear came true. Draco Malfoy and his gang came strolling up, looking more malevolent then ever.

"Hey look everyone. I'ts the golden trio. Potty, Weasel, and the mudblood." Draco said smirking as his friends laughed stupidly behind him. "What do you want, Ferret boy?" Harry asked with narrowed eyes and a clenched fist.

"Nothing really, just a little favor." Draco replied, smirking even more.

"Why would I do you a favor, Malfoy."

"Because I have something you want and you have something I want, that's why."

"And what would that be, huh?"

"Well I have here in my hand a letter that you might want." said Draco as he pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket and waved it in the air. Harry jumped up and grabbed it and saw the handwriting on the outside.The seal of the Order was imprinted on the back. "Thanks Malfoy, and what was it that you were wanting" Harry said with a smile plastered on his lips, knowing if Malfoy knew what it was he would mutilate himself in front of them.

"Well Potter, I want Granger"
