You Joking...Right?
Chapter 2: You never know who you'll see in Diagon Alley!
(A/N Here's chapter 2 n chapter 3 is already done so...)
Hermione stepped out of the grate in one of the upper rooms in the Leaky Cauldron. Closely followed by her mother, father, and sister. Dakota squealed with delight as soon as they stepped out of the grate, "That was soo cool". Hermione laughed, Flooing had always made her nautious.
She led the way down to the front desk where she greeted the barman, Tom, then proceeded to the little courtyard in back of the tavern where she knew was hidden the entrance to the wizarding quarter Diagon Alley. She took out her wand and tapped the bricks in correct form the watched as the magical world of Diagon Ally took form before her. It amazed her that a mere 6 years ago she would have thought none of this possible.
Dakota was in an absolute uproar, clearly she had never been to Diagon Alley, she ran up and down the streets stopping to peer in at every window and calling out "Look sissy" every chance she got. Hermione was forced to watch her as their parents left to go pick up a few items. They were to meet outside of Florean Fortescues Ice Cream Parlor at quarter-til eight. Hermione took Dakota's hand and led her to the first place on their booklist: Flourish and Blotts.
After they had gotten everything on their list , including Dakota's wand which was a 10' holly with the tail hair of a unicorn, there was only one more place Hermione wanted to go but since Dakota had never been to Diagon Alley she insisted on seeing everything, so they went in EVERY shop. First they went to Quality Quidditch supplies where they ran into Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan fellow seventh years, Hermione and Dakota joined them in drooling over the latest broom "Devil'z Reign". Next they went into Magical Menagerie where Hermione bought Dakota on owl that was the color of Hedwig, Harry's owl, and the size of Pig, Ron's owl, Hermione laughed at the memory when Ron had first got that owl, it was in the end of their third year, and Ron had held the owl out to Crookshanks, Hermione's old cat who had died of age just a few weeks ago, who sniffed the owl to check and make sure it was not an animagus. It was quite a memory. Thinking of Crookshank's brought Hermione to the decision to but a new cat, she found one that was pure white with baby blue eyes, she named her Snowball. Hermione and Snowball and Dakota and Sadie, her owl, made there way out of the shop.
Next they went into the shop Hermione was most anxious to get to, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where Hermione was thrilled to find Ron and Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter, the rest of the Weasley family, and Fleur Delacour, Bill's bride-to-be. Fleur swooped down on Hermione and gave her a hug "Eef it esn't my bridezmaed". Fleur had asked Hermione, along with Ginny who had finally started to like Fleur, to be a bridesmaid. "Hi Fleur, how are you?" asked Hermione. "Ooo juss .. Peachy" she giggled at her choice of words. "And who is theez adorable little girl?" asked Fleur, indicating Dakota who was giving her a curious look. "Oh yes, everyone, this is my little sister Dakota Damenzla". Dakota smiled shyly. "Wait, how can she be your sister, the Damenzla's are one of the top pure-blood families in the country?" asked Ron with a puzzled expression on his face. "Im adopted, my real name is Hermione Damenzla" said Hermione and she proceeded to tell them the long, complicated story that was her life. "Great everyone is rich but me" Hermione heard Ron say as herself, Dakota, and Ginny who was spending the night over Hermione's, left the shop, and made their way down the road.
After they had left Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Hermione, Dakota, and Ginny were on their way back to the ice cream parlor to meet up with Hermione's parents when they ran right into Draco Malfoy and Blaise. "Watch it mudblood, Weaslette!" Blaise just stood there not saying a word, Ginny shot him a dirty look. "We are not mudbloods, thank you" cried Dakota who had stepped out of her hiding place from behind Hermione's cloak. "And who are you another little mudblood pal of Grangers?" sneered Malfoy. "Back off Mal-" started Hermione, but Dakota cut her off "There is no Granger here, my name is Dakota Damenzla and this , she indicated Hermione, is my sister and we are pure-bloods." Dakota said using Draco's sneer that caused Blaise to snigger and walk off. "Sister?" asked Draco, eyes wide and disbelieving. "Yeah that's right" said Hermione. "Now sod off Malfoy" said Ginny. And the trio ran back grabbed Blasie who was coming home with the Damenzlas and Ginny, seeing as he lived right next door, and left leaving a disbelieving Draco in their wake. Blaise shot him a look of apology before he linked arms with Ginny and proceeded back to the ice cream parlor.
