When Harry or someone else is speaking in Parseltongue, it will say 'How are you?', said Harry... instead of the normal dialogue. Notice there's only one quotation mark thingy... see.. Normal ".. Parseltongue '

Diagon Alley

There was a appearance of a blinding white light when all of a sudden Harry, Draco, and Severus appeared out of thin air, holding onto a boot. This was of course a portkey, as any magical being would know, but as they were at the moment surrounded by muggles, it looked very odd. As it would seem, the portkey was set for outside the Leaky Cauldron, rather than inside Diagon Alley. So, after a few Oblivates, they set foot inside the Leaky Cauldron, but not before Severus gave Harry an invisibility cloak to put on.

"Ah, Severus, how are you today?", asked Tom the Bartender.

"Just fine Tom, and you?", queried Severus, though not interested.

"Good, good, and I see you brought your godson Draco along with you?", asked Tom.

"Yes, I am taking him shopping for Hogwarts, he and the other students should be getting their letters either today or sometime soon", said Severus.

"Ah, well, just go into the backroom then", said Tom.

"Ok, Tom, talk to you sometime in the future", said Snape.

As they walked into the back of the Leaky Cauldron, Harry could see everyone. That of course included Professor Quirrel, who noticed Severus and shook nervously for some reason, Severus just passed by him though. Draco seemed to be acting like a Malfoy for no reason, as Harry thought he had gotten passed the stuck-up phase. Severus just kept his head and eyes forward and kept a steady pace towards the back room. After what seemed like an eternity, though it was only a few seconds, they arrived, and closed the door. Harry took off the cloak.

"Ok, I just need to tap on these bricks in a certain order, and the gate will open", stated Severus.

"Well, that's dumb, I thought it would be some cool, awesome, spectacular thing", whined Draco.

"Don't whine Draco, it's not good for that beautiful face of yours", said Harry, smirking.

Draco and Severus both stared dumbstruck at Harry, who just kept smirking. Severus finally closed his mouth and started tapping the bricks in a certain order. Draco on the other hand, kept his mouth opened, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his chest, and a warmth on his cheeks from his blush. Draco finally closed his mouth when the bricks started moving apart revealing an entrance into the busiest shopping area ever, Diagon Alley.

"Where are we going first Sev?", asked Harry.

"I thought we would start out by getting your wands, Harry", said Severus.

"Are we going to Ollivanders?", asked Draco.

"No, we will be going to Valon's Wand Shop", said Severus.

"Never heard of it, where is it?", asked Draco.

"Valon's is a shop in Knockturn Alley, unlike Ollivander's, you create a custom wand there, based on what ingredients match to you", stated Snape.

"Cool!", both boys shouted in unison.

As the threesome walked down Diagon Alley, they noticed a group of redheads, and the redheads noticed them.

"Well, if it isn't a Malfoy, and Severus Snape", said one of the redheads.

"Hello, Arthur, Molly, and the other Weasley's", said Snape.

"Yes, well, and who are these children you have with you Severus?", asked Arthur.

"This is my godson Draco Malfoy, and my not-so-nephew, Harry Potter", said Snape calmly.

"Bloody Hell! It's Harry Potter!", shouted another Weasley.

"Bloody Hell! It's another red head!", shouted Harry,"See, I can do it too."

The entire family of redheads just stared at Harry awestruck, except for what looked like twins who were chuckling in the back of the group.

"Severus, what are you doing with Harry Potter?", asked Molly testily.

"Simply taking him school shopping Molly", replied Severus.

"Oh? Then why do you have a.. a.. Malfoy with you!?", shouted Molly.

"Maybe because he happens to be my godson, though I am pretty sure I told Arthur that earlier", replied Snape snidely.

Right as Molly was about to reply to that comment, Snape quickly started moving while pulling Harry and Draco with him. The Weasley family tried to follow, but got lost in the crowd of shoppers in Diagon Alley.

"Weasleys! I hate them!", whispered Snape furiously.

"A very nosy bunch, aren't they?", asked Harry.

"What are you talking about Harry?", replied Draco sarcastically.

"Yes, well, Valon's is just down this alley", said Snape.

As they walked down the alley, they noticed a few dirty hags and other 'people' selling items and creatures that Harry nor Draco knew existed. Severus once again stared straight ahead, making sure not to look at anyone in the alley. Finally, they came to a stop in front of a building with a sign above that read "Valon's Custom Wands".

"Come on", said Snape.

They walked into the building, and saw nothing but stones, liquids, and wood everywhere. They also heard a rustling noise coming from the back of the shop. Harry started wandering off to see what it was, and ended up getting seperated from Severus and Draco. Harry turned the corner into what looked like a office, and found a box about to fall off from a desk. Harry very quickly ran over and pushed the box all the way onto the desk, and since he was curious, very carefully opened it to find... a snake! Normally, a person would be afraid of a snake, but since Harry had become friends with Draco, he had found out that he could talk to snakes. That for some reason, they wouldn't harm him if he talked to them, they would accept him as their master, or equal.

This snake was around 3ft long, and 2 inches wide. It had a diamond pattern, mostly dark green in color, with a bit of red. The outside of the diamond pattern was pure black, the snake had white eyes.

'Hello, what's your name?', asked Harry.

'Oh my! A human with the snake tongue?', exclaimed the snake, 'Why, my name is Tivia, and your name young snake speaker?' asked Tivia.

'My name is Harry, Harry Potter', said Harry.

"I see you've found my recent discovery", said a voice from behind Harry.

"AHH!", screamed Harry.

Out in the front of the store, Draco and Severus heard Harry scream, and came running into the room, to find a man standing in front of Harry, and Harry with a terrified look on his face. For some reason though, Severus relaxed.

"Hello Valon", greeted Severus.

"Hello Severus", Valon greeted back,"Just trying to talk to the child you brought with you".

"What.. what's that snake?", Harry asked timidly.

"Well, that's my newest discovery, what I like to call a 'Talian Diamsnake', I found it in a place called Brazil", said Valon.

"She's beautiful", Harry remarked, now gaining more confidence.

"That she is lad", said Valon,"Only problem is she won't listen to me, only someone who speaks the language of snake will she listen to".

"She seemed pretty comfortable with me talking to her", stated Harry.

"Then take her!", exclaimed Valon excitedly.

"Now, I don't..", started Severus, but was interrupted.

"Now, now Severus, let him keep her, she could come in handy", stated Valon.

"Fine, but only if she agrees Harry", said Severus.

'Hey, would you like to become my.. friend?', asked Harry.

'Do you mean your pet? No thank you', said Tivia.

'No, I mean my friend, you travel with or on me, and we help eachother', said Harry.

'I..I guess that would be alright', said Tivia as she started slithering up Harry's arm, and underneath his sleeve.

"OK, I guess it's time to pick out a wand now", said Severus.

"Yes!", Harry, Draco, and Valon yelled together.

As they all walked back up to the front of the shop, Valon explained that Harry and Draco would need to first go over to the different woods and walk past them until they found one that gave them a feeling of hope, then they would have to walk through a section of what looked like rocks, until they found one that gave them a feeling of courage. Finally, they would have to walk through a section of junk basically, it held feathers, liquids, and bones in it, and they'd have to walk through them until they found one that gave them a sense of power.

"Since you two know what to do now, Valon and I will stay out here while you go find your ingredients", said Severus.

"Ok, see you in a bit", said Harry.

"Yeah!", said Draco excitedly

Harry started walking into another room, and saw the woods Valon was talking about, and found one that gave him a feeling of hope easily, so picked it up. Then he saw Draco coming into the room also, Draco looked like he was having a tougher job finding the wood that gave him a feeling of hope, so Harry went over to him.

"You okay?", asked Harry.

"Yeah, just looking for the piece of wood I need to find", stated Draco.

"Oh..", said Harry.

"Something wrong?", asked Draco worriedly.

"Well, I was just wondering, do you like me?", asked Harry.

"Well of course I do Harry, you're my best friend!", exclaimed Draco.

"I know that. I mean, do you like, like me?", asked Harry.

"Oh. Well, do you like, like me?", asked Draco.

It seemed like they were both contemplating it for awhile, when all of a sudden...

"Hurry up in there!", shouted Severus from outside the room.

"OK!", shouted Draco, "We should hurry up, I'll go ahead and hopefully we'll be done at the same time".

"Oh, okay then", said Harry sadly.

They both went their seperate ways to search for the last ingredients.

!!Time Skip, 20 minutes!!

Harry and Draco both came out with three ingredients each. Neither of them knew what they had.

"Well now, let's see what you guys picked out, or rather picked you", said Valon.

Valon looked at all the ingredients for a bit, before talking again.

"Draco, it seems you have picked out a wood from the Emerald Ash Tree, an Emerald Jewel from Egypt, and Basilisk Venom. Harry, it seems you have picked out wood from a Dragon Maple Tree, a Horn-tailed Dragon tooth, and Unicorn Blood willingly given", said Valon,"Overall, you each picked out rare items, and they come to a total cost of 700 galleons, they'll be made in a few minutes.

After Severus paid for the wands, they decided to pass time by going shopping for the rest of the items, but not before Severus stopped to give them each the letters that they were suppose to get by owl. They went to the pet store, where Harry decided to get an owl named 'Hedwig', so that he could mail letters to people in case of an emergency. Draco got a hawk mostly because he thought it looked cool, and he could send letters with it also, he named the hawk 'Zexel'. So after picking out the rest of their school supplies with no interruptions, they headed back to Valon's. Where they picked up their wands, and started heading out. When they got to the gate again, Severus made Harry put on the Invisibility Cloak, so he wouldn't be seen. They finally got back to the Dursley's to drop Harry off, when they said their goodbyes to eachother.

"Goodbye Uncle Sev!", said Harry as he hugged Severus.

"Goodbye Harry, you'll see me at Hogwarts though, just one more week", said Severus.

"I know, but still", said Harry.

"Yes, I know.., well, I'll leave you two to say goodbye to eachother, I just have to sort things out with Vernon, Harry", said Severus.

When Severus went inside to talk to Vernon, Harry and Draco hugged eachother tightly.

"I'll miss you Dray!", cried Harry.

"I'll miss you too Har", cried Draco.

"See you at Hogwarts?", asked Harry.

"You know it, and no matter what house, friends till the end?", asked Draco.

"Of course", said Harry smiling.

Severus came back out of the house.

"Okay Harry, your Uncle can talk again, and WILL be taking you to the train station in a week", said Severus,"Now, come on Draco, time to go".

"Ok Sev", said Draco while hugging Harry one last time,"Bye Harry".

"Bye Draco", said Harry.

Just as Draco started to get to the boot that was now set to arrive at Draco's House, Harry shouted one last thing.

"Draco! My answer was yes!", smiled Harry.

It took a bit for Draco to think about what Harry meant, but when he did, he smiled back and shouted also.

"Mine was also!", Draco shouted.

So when Draco finally left, both he and Harry knew, they had someone that loved them.

THIS CHAPTER IS FINISHED! If you couldn't tell what Harry was talking about at the end, I meant when they were in the wand shop asking "Do you like, like me?". This chapter is finished, next chapter will be shorter, and will be on the train, and then... Hogwarts/Sorting!
