Authors note: Ok I know I've said sorry like what 50 million times but I truly am sorry, I've had major writers block and recently wrote a story (Through Her Eyes) for a contest at school, and I was really busy but I know that's no excuse, this chapter is for Amanda, who got me past my writers block for this story )

"Hermione would never take anything without paying!" Ron insisted "Yeah! We've known her for years now!" Harry piped up. "Well this doesn't look very good" the police man said truthfully to Hermione.

"I know that already" she muttered starting to get agitated. "Isn't there like a lie dector test or something she could do?" Harry asked desperately, wanting to prove her innocent, shoplifting would no look good on her flawless record.

"Well… I suppose" he sighed and pulled out his wand moving it up and down in front of Hermione and it glowed bright red "Ok you can go… but if you didn't take that how'd it get in your pocket?" he asked her. "I don't know" she said dumb-founded, handing the toy to the guy she and Harry and Ron left the store.

"That was weird Hermione, do you know what happened?" Ron asked concerned. "No for the last time I don't" she said sadly "Well…. Did you pass anyone in the aisle?" Harry questioned.

Her eyes became wide "Malfoy!" she blurted out and her expression went from confusion, to realization, to confusion again, to anger, to I'm-going-to-kick-his-butt. She marched back into the store and looked around for Malfoy, ignoring Ron and Harry's calls for her, wanting her to come where they were.

She searched everywhere but no luck. He was gone… she would try to find him when she got back to Hogwarts, and he would pay. "RON, HARRY we're going" she said a little more forceful then she meant. Their eyes were about to pop out of their heads, but they obediently followed. But as the day went on they were happier and Hermione even forgot about the whole incident.

"No Ron you can't buy a Niffler! It'd tear up your house!" Hermione giggled in a great mood. "Not anymore then Fred and George do!" He and Harry burst into laugher "But personally, I'd rather room with the Niffler and be wearing a gold suit then have to go in Fred and Georges room" Ron said seriously and jokingly.

Later…

"Hermione! I can't believe you bought 24 books!" Ron said flabbergasted, trying to carry some because Harry was helping her and Ron didn't want to seem like a prat! (Btw I'm American and I don't know what prat means could someone please explain? Thanks because I think it means like brat or idiot… does it?)

"Yeah, you'd think we're bringing the store home!" Harry grunted as she stacked more on him. "Yep" She grinned "I just can't wait to read this one on magical creatures-" she started then stopped dead in her tracks because right in front of her stood a tall boy with blonde hair, a Slytherin robe, and a smirk that's all to recognizable. Malfoy…
