Chapter 2 - Events at Diagona Alley

Harry received planty of hugs as he entered the Weasley's house, The burrow. "Hey Harry!" exclaimed Hermione as she hugged Harry. As soon as everyone settled Ron and Hermione was consumed in conversation with each other about what happened during the holidays. "The Daily Prophet! You know what they said? They..They said that you-know-who was at this town not too far from Hogwarts! Read this short article! I think its short because they didn't want to alarm people. I guess smaller articles are often ignored then."

You-Know-Who's whereabouts

You know who is thought to be at a small town in Lollica (made that up) not too far from the pristegious school, Hogwarts. The ministry was in that particular town in Lollica only a couple of hours before. Apprently You know Who escaped. Once again the ministry has failed. Will the ministries down fall be the rest of the wizrding worlds downfall?

The article was situated on the 15th page in a very small corner where a lot of people would have missed this. Harry looked up at Hermione and then Ron. "Do..do you think Voldemort is trying to get closer to you Harry? By ..by hiding out in a closer area its easy for him to strike! But with Dumbledore that would be impossible but..but maybe he will get you while at a Hogsmeade trip!" panicked Hermione.

"Calm down Hermione he won't get me anytime soon. Don't worry I'll keep a look out." Harry said quickly after seeing Hermione's "really" expression.

"You know its kinda lucky that my mum hasn'y seen this article yet hey? She will be all over you and crying. Scary." said Ron making an attempt to break the ice.

"yeah.." was all Harry could muster.

It was atlast the 2nd last day before Hogwarts and harry had been enjoying his time really well considering what Hermione had said only 1 week ago. "OK everyone! Dressed to go to Diagon Alley? Come on quickly! Don't have all day!" Harry guessed that he was going by floo powder to get his things as the Weasley's showed no other way to get to Diagon Alley. He was correct as everyone was heading towards the fire place and he saw Hermione already floo powdering herself to Diagon Alley. Next was Harry's turn and he hoped this time he won't go to some other weird place like last time. Fortunately he didn't he arrived at Diagon Alley next to Hermione who was waiting patiently for everyone to arrive. Harry was looking around at all the stalls when the quidditch stall caught his eye. At the shop front everyone was looking at one object a new broom. It was the Rushing Star the latest broom that went 100km per hour (is that faster then Fire bolt?) had excellent turning skills. It was made out of the finest willow tree in the country and was polished with the best broom polish. The price tag was 760 galleons. Harry couldn't afford that it would wipe out about a quarter of his bank account. Gloomily he walked back to where Hermione was standing.

A couple of feet away. Rowelga was spying on Harry to see what would lure him towards her father.. Voldemort. Rowelga grinned slyly and decided she'll wait until christmas to get Harry his Chirtmas present which is bound to get harry's trust. She turned around and banged right into a white blonde male. He was about the same height as her but taller. "Never seen you before. new to Hogwarts I bet. She probably one of the poor ones judging from her clothes." smirked the blonde person. Rowelga did give the impression she was poor because she was wearing worn out baggy pants and a blouse the was torn on the sleeve. Infact she wasn't poor at all. She actually had quite a bit of galleons in her bank account, 50 000 galeeons. "No actually I'm not." she said dissapointing the blonde guy who hoped she was at least a little bit afaid. "Whats you name? " she continued.

" Draco Malfoy and you better remember that ." answered Draco.

"Great,"said Rowelga who thought his name sounded familiar... some one who was a death eater was named ...something Malfoy..Thats it Lucious Malfoy she thought.

"Well you better prepare for your worst nightmare then" Draco smirked and as he walked on her shouldered Rowelga on her arm painfully. "Ow!" she gasped. Harry and Hermione seeing this scene rushed over to her and asked what just happened "Oh! Nothing he was just telling me that his name was Draco and all that and I'm guessing he's one of those people who judge by the persons appearence ?" asked Rowelga secretly grinning inside her head about how Draco helped her get Harry come to her instead of she doing the task.

"Yeah he is always has been." scowled Hermione at the dissappearing figure of Draco.
