Yeah okay it's been a while since I updated because I got like 3 reviews if you read this fic please review don't care if it's a compliment or flame. Now review.
Daniel Holmes walked out of the most prestigious bank of Great Britain a new man, well, boy. Though technically, now Daniel Black but Holmes is such a cool last name. The first stop was of course the ice cream shop because ice cream is always the best way to celebrate.
"So Daniel, how'd you come up with Holmes?" Sirius asked.
"Well, there is this muggle book about this detective Sherlock Holmes, so I just picked his last name."
"Is he real?"
"No."
"Now, you have heard about the wondrous game of Quidditch, right?"
"Of course I know about Quidditch. How can you not know about Quidditch and live with the Weasleys?"
"Just making sure, now which store do you want to hit first?"
"I'm thinking we can go to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and then just go down the list."
"Yeah, but let's just leave the books to Moony," Sirius and Daniel laughed.
"Fine with me," Remus answered. Daniel and Sirius both turned around to face a smirking Remus.
"Moony, didn't see you there," Sirius said.
"Obviously," Remus scoffed.
"What did you find out at the library?" Daniel asked.
"Can't tell you here; I'll tell you when we get home."
"Have fun in that book shop," Sirius said.
"Ohh, I will-"He took Sirius's half-eaten ice cream "-with your ice cream," Sirius's face immediately fell like if he was a baby and his candy was stolen.
"Meany," Sirius shouted after him.
"Is that the best you can come up with?" Moony shouted back them licking his prize.
"Come on Daniel, to the robe shop we go." They casually walked into the shop.
"Sirius, what are you doing here?" Madam Malkin said with a fiery temper that reminded Daniel of Mrs. Weasley.
"Didn't you hear, after eight years they finally decided to give me a trial, and I'm innocent? Imagine how much easier it would have been if I was given a trial to begin with."
"Well, just because you innocent doesn't mean you can just barge for no reason."
"Oi, I do have a reason. I am taking my godson here shopping for school supplies, and robes just happen to be on the list."
"You may go to the back shop I have another boy there right now," Madam Malkin said to Daniel. "Who in the right mind would make you a godfather?"
"Hey, I was a top notch Auror during the war."
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." She then followed Daniel to the back of the shop. In the back of the shop a boy with a pale, pointed face was standing on a footstool while a second witch pinned up his long black robes. Madam Malkin stood Harry on a stool next to him, slipped a long robe over his head, and began to pin it to the right length.
"Hello," said the boy, "Hogwarts, too?"
"Yes," said Daniel.
"My father's next door buying me books, and mother's looking at wands. Hopefully I'll get them to buy me a racing broom. I can't see why first years can't have their own brooms. I'm going to smuggle one anyway."
"Yeah me, too, what happened to your old broom?"
"I was trying to do a Wronski Feint and I crashed into a tree. The broom was way beyond repair."
"Yeah, I think I pulled a Wronski Feint once, but that was because it was almost time for dinner, and nothing gets in between me and my dinner." The boys laughed
"Hey, what house do you think you'll be in?" the boy asked.
"I don't know I got a mixture of all the house traits, but if I had to guess I'd say Gryffindor. What house do you think you'll be in?"
"I'm going to be in Slytherin. My family has been in it for generations. Sorry about you being stuck in Gryffindor."
"What's wrong with Gryffindor?"
"They always go head first into situations saved only by luck, and they are so easily tricked."
"And in Slytherin you got pretty much almost every dark wizard."
"Well, they had brilliant minds and were tired of being run by people who were stuck on bravery overdrive."
"I like you." Daniel stuck out his hand, "Daniel Holmes,"
"Draco Malfoy,"
"A pleasure," Daniel said in a silly voice.
"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine," Draco said in an even sillier voice and gave a little bow.
"Ow," Draco yelped, "Watch where you're poking that."
"If you hadn't been moving she wouldn't have poked you." Madam Malkin said in the defense of the witch. Draco straightened up on the stool with a huge pout on his face. Daniel started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Oh nothing… you," Draco smirked
"Laughing at me are you; wait till I tell my father about this," Draco said jokingly. Both boys laughed.
"Ok dear, your robes are finished," Madam Malkin said.
"Bye Draco, see you at school."
"Bye Daniel," Daniel walked back to the front of the shop where Sirius was 'patiently' waiting. Daniel tossed the robes at his godfather.
"You can carry the robes."
"Hello to you, too." Daniel walked out of the shop then shouted,
"I'd go before Madam Malkin shows up."
"Coming," Sirius said then practically sprinted out the door.
"Hey, Padfoot, you'll never guess who I met back there."
"Umm… let me guess. You met your conscience."
"Ha ha very funny, I was being serious."
"But I'm Sirius."
"Sirius must you do that every time," Remus said.
"Yes, I must. Just like you must walk up behind people and scare them."
"How come you're done so early? I thought you would have stayed about an hour in there?"
"Well, I already had a few in mind."
"A few? You have like an entire bookcase in your arms."
Remus turned to Harry and said, "These are the books the school requires." Remus then dumped less than half of the books into Sirius's arms. "These books are about everything you need to know for your first year that isn't in your school books." He then dumped all but one of the books into Sirius's arms. Sirius promptly fell over because of the stack of books.
"Need help there?" Remus asked.
"No, no. I'm fine, go on with what you were saying," He replied.
"Well, if you insist. This book will give everything you need to know about how to make a potion before you're even in the class room, and it is the only sure way of you passing with Snape as the teacher." Daniel took the book. It had a yellow cover and the title was Potion Making for Dummies. He flipped through the pages; it had detailed diagrams of what to do.
"Thanks Remus," Daniel said.
"Wait. You said Snape was the potions professor." Sirius said.
"Yeah, he is." Remus replied.
"Our Snape, that never washed his hair, that we pranked over a thousand times, is he that guy?"
"Yeah he's had that position for years."
"Sorry Danny-boy, you're doomed."
"Hey, I thought you were supposed to play the role of the supportive godfather."
"Yeah, well, that just went out the window." The three of them went and got the rest of the school supplies one pewter cauldron, one set of crystal phials, one telescope, and one set of brass scales. All that was left was a wand for Ollivanders. They walked up to the narrow, shabby shop. Peeling gold letters over the door read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C. A single wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window.
A tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside. It was a tiny place, empty except for a single chair which Remus sat on still laughing at Sirius's attempts to carry all the books. In front of Daniel were thousands of narrow boxes piled neatly up to the ceiling. The very dust and silence in here seemed to tingle with some secret magic. Sirius loudly put the books down still pouting for having to carry them.
"Good evening," said a soft voice. Daniel jumped; Sirius and Remus however didn't even flinch. An old man was standing before them, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop. "Sirius, I've heard of your trial, but who is this young man?"
"This young man is Daniel Holmes soon to be a student at Hogwarts."
"I'll get your wand first then I'll start with him." The old man picked out what seemed to be a random box and gave it to Sirius. "Twelve inches, mahogany with unicorn hair as its core, now give it a wave." Sirius carefully took the wand out of the box and muttered something while waving the wand at Remus. Remus's hair spiked up about six inches and turned the lovely shade of hot pink.
"Thank you Ollivander this wand seems to suit me well." Sirius said trying to hide his laughter.
"Hmmm," said Mr. Ollivander turning to Daniel, "Which is your wand arm?"
"My right arm," Daniel replied.
"Hold out your arm," he said. He measured Daniel from shoulder to finger, wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor and so many other ways Daniel couldn't recall. Each wand Ollivander gave Daniel seemed to have a nasty affect on the store. "I wonder," he said before going to the back of the shop. He came back with a long narrow box. He carefully removed the lid and handed the wand to Daniel. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. With a little wave of the wand red and gold sparks flew. "That wand there is holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches." Ollivander then sank into the back of the shop nothing more to say, but thoughts buzzing around in his head.
"Now, what I've been waiting to do," Sirius waved his wand over the pile of books. They immediately shrunk, so he put them in his pocket. "Now, it's time to go home."
"Finally, I thought this day would never end." Harry said. The three of them walked out of the shop and walked to the nearest fireplace to go home.
