I
took the gold and headed to the bookstore. I looked in the bag that
had the gold... and it was full.
I remembered she came here
yesterday. I grabbed a book off the shelf (Amarndo Dippit: Master or
Moron). I started to read it and i enjoyed it; even if it was Rita
Skeeter. I went up to the counter.
Clerk: "little girls like you shouldn't be reading Rita Skeeter."
Me: "I'm not exactly a little. I'm sixteen. Now if you could be so kind... i would like to buy this book."
Clerk: "yes Miss Malfoy... I'm shocked you don't own this book."
Me: " I own all the spell books... I don't own biographies or fictional books."
the clerk chuckled as i left the shop. i walked down the street and into the Weasley's joke shop. As soon as i did, all eyes were on me. I felt like one of those muggle animals in their muggle Zoos.
Me: "Why is everyone staring?"
a little boy in the crowd came out and stood in the front of the crowd.
Boy: "It's just that you are very pretty."
I smiled. The girls were glaring daggers while the boys were staring.
Me: "Well get on with what you were all doing."
I was now ignoring the staring and looked at the skiving snackboxes. there were trick wands, boxes of quills (self-inking, spell-checking and smart answer), reusable hangman, patented daydream charms, edible darkmarks, sheild hats, instant darkness powder, decoy dotoners, joke cauldron, love potions, pimple vanisher (dude... i would never need that. i never got pimples.), pygmy puffs and more. I grabbed some quills, a deluxe package of skiving snackboxes, instant darkness powder and decoy dotoner. after i paid for those items, i headed up the street. My mother was just leaving the shop Madam Malkins (which a huge man i knew to be hagrid was standing outside the store. Draco complained about him all the time... even tried to get him fired.)
Me: "Mother, what is wrong? wasn't Draco meant to be getting robes?"
Mother:
"Since scum like mudbloods shop here, we'll go to get your and
Draco's stuff from Twillight and Taffings."
Me: "Ok
mother-sama."
Mother:" after all taht, I'm going home. You can stay a while, but be home by 6. your ball starts at 7."
Me: "yes mother-sama."
Mother: "now let's get your robes."
I nodded and followed her. Draco had found his "friends" and walked away. I walked into Twillight and Taffings after my mother had entered. I looked around and saw all these beautiful dresses. they were all surreal, just like a fairy tale.
Me: "Mother, i think i found the dresses that i want."
I showed her the dresses that i liked. I got a white one, a white and black one, a really stunning red a blue one, two light blue ones, a really cute black top with a patterned bottom, an emerald one and a black one.
Clerk:
"What lovely choices your daughter made. what size?"
Me:
"I'm a sixteen in the top, 12 in the bottom."
Mother: " I'd also like 1st year robes in the same size please."
the clerk worked his magic and everything i had wanted, was now packed in a box. Mother paid for them and walked out of the store.
Mother: "Now i'll take these back to the manor . Now what you bought before this, you keep with you. Now remember you have to be back by 6:00 but i recommend that you be back before then. see you at the party."
She disapparated and i walked down the ally way after she had left. I went into the Apothrancy to stock up on ingredients. I also got a pair of dragonhide gloves. I never needed them in school of magic. I went into the magical pet store. I really needed an owl. I looked at them and the one that called to me was the most georgous owl i had ever laid my eyes on. It was a beautiful shiny black owl with eyes like emeralds. it reminded me like crystals i studied. Emeralds and onyx.
Me: "you know what? I'm going to call you Helena after my favourite character from the half-blood shakespeare's play a midsummer night's dream."
the name just rolled off my tounge, like the owl wanted to be named that. I paid the owner and took helena to a bench.
Me: "Helena... it's your lucky day. i need you to take a letter to professor dumbledore."
i grabbed a piece of parchment from my bag.
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
I wish to take defense against the dark arts, herbology, potions, divination, ancient runes, muggle studies, charms, transfiguration, arithmancy, astronomy and history of magic. If needed, i have a time turner to help with the timetable. It was given to me in my fourth year of magic school.
yours sincerly,
Selena Amelia Malfoy.
I tied the letter to Helena's leg. she flew off leaving me and her cage behind her.
Me: "Godspeed."
