Harry's days were usually spent wandering around Diagon Alley, buying useful things and window shopping the things he wanted but Hermione would smack him for buying.
Sheesh that girl was a harsh taskmaster or what?
Speaking of Hermione, he couldn't wait for August 18th, the day the Weasleys, Hermione and Crystalline would be coming here and staying at Leaky Cauldron till September 1st.
As it got nearer to 1st September, he began seeing more and more familiar faces, like Daphne Greengrass, Neville Longbottom, Ernie Macmillan and a sandy-haired Gryffindor boy who's name had slipped from his mind.
"HARRY", a familiar voice called out to him. He blinked twice before turning around and saw Hermione, Ron and Crystalline making their way to him.
He felt like face-palming. How could he have forgotten that today was 18th August.
Crystalline's pale skin and hair seemed to be glowing in the sunlight, her grey eyes as piercing as ever.
Ron was as freckly and tall as ever, his normally pale ivory skin was tanned and his blue eyes warm and jolly like always.
Hermione's dark skin was shining slightly. Her brown hair as untameable as ever, but her brown eyes weren't cold and calculating like they usually were.
"We've been looking all over for you. We asked around but everyone just said that you were probably wandering around and-"
"Whoa whoa, slow down Sci. And breathe", said Ron.
The fact that Sciurus' ramblings were a rarity was just a mark of how much they hid who they truly were.
"It's good to see you three again", Harry stated, and the four of them hugged.
Someday they wouldn't have to hide themselves though, and they looked forward to that day.
For now, they at least had each other.
