Stepping up to the fireplace I glared at it. The first time I had flooed anywhere Seto hadn't waited long enough and he fell out on top of me and almost broke my arm, the jackass. James stepped forward first and grabbed some of the floo powder and stuck out his tongue to me which I politely replied with the one finger salute. "Diagon Alley!" he yelled out and disappeared in a flurry of green flames. Seto and I went soon after him.
I enjoyed the feeling of being swirled around. I hopped out at the right fire place and of course tripped over air and landed on the ground in front of the two laughing jerks I was with. "Shut the fuck up," I said but my voice was muffled because my face is having a nice little date with the ground. They walked over to the bar and Seto got a firewhiskey and two butterbeers.
"Excuse me but do you need some help?" I heard a timid voice ask before I looked up. There stood a young boy most likely my age. He had dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. He seemed kinda weak and ill.
Quickly I jumped up and with a triumphant pose said, quite loudly, "I need no help for I am Jack Dragon the Magnificently Magnificent!" He chuckled lightly but quieted when Seto came over and glared at us. I looked up just in time for a smack to the side of the head. "Ow! You bastard, what the hell was that for?" I yelled out holding my now smarting head. I then remembered my new friend. "Oh yeah Seto this is … um?"
The kid took the initiative and answered, "I'm Remus Lupin it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Right, Remus this is my bro Seto. Seto this is meh new buddy Remus." I turned to the table James was at and called him over. "Hey James get your ass over here!"
"Hey Jack, quit yelling across the place!" He yelled before walking over. "Hi I'm James," he introduces himself with a smile.
"Remus Lupin," Remus once again said. He seemed a little uncomfortable with all of us crowding him so I decided to take pity on him and grabbed Seto and James' hands and pulled them to the door.
"Bye Remus!" I called over my shoulder.
"See ya on the express!" James also called over his own shoulder.
"Try not to get detention in my class," Seto finished up with a lazy wave over his shoulder. Remus gave a meek wave back with a small smile before we walked out the door. Diagon Alley is amazing. Though this isn't my first time here I am still in love with walking out the door and seeing the hustle of everyone trying to do their last minute shopping. "All right," Seto said pulling out my school supply list, "what do we need to do first?"
"Getting money might be a good start," James said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah you can't exactly pay with seashells y'know," I joined in. Seto blinked for a second as if he was thinking over the plan before he spun on his heels and went in the direction of Gringotts bank. As soon as we walked through the door a goblin walked by I flipped the fuck out. With a squeal I jumped into James arms. Think Shaggy and Scooby doo. Seto and James just shook their heads in shame while I was still clinging onto James most likely drawing blood with my nails. "Hey Jack, as much as I love this intimate contact, could you please get off of me?"
"Fuck off," was my only reply as I jumped down and looked away. No way in hell I was going to be embarrassed about that. Seto just grabbed the back of my gray tank top and carried me all the way to a counter. I tensed up and started struggling in his hand. That is until I got a swift slap to the back of the head.
"We're here to make a withdrawal," Seto said ignoring my, very loud, bitching of pain. The goblin just glared at me. Well you're not exactly the sunshine to my day either, jerk. He held out his hands for our keys and we went to our vaults. As soon as the carts started to move I immediately took the giant stick outta my ass and threw my hands in the air screaming the whole way down. James just laughed at my antics and Seto once again sighed and shook his head in shame. I'm scared this is going to become a usual occurrence with us. Of course there is the slightest chance that it already was. We stopped at James vault first and he ran in and grabbed a couple of handfuls of coins before running back to the cart and jumping in.
He jingled the bag with a smile and the cart started again and we stopped at the Dragon's vault and Seto and I grabbed some coins and we headed back towards the entrance so we could get our school supplies. "Here are your lists," Seto said as we walked down the white stairs, "I have to get a few things for my class and I might as well get Desoto's things too."
"Yeah I don't feel like cleaning you up after he kicks your ass," I replied back with a dismissive wave of my hand. James snickered to himself as my face had a little meeting with the ground, thanks to Seto's fist. "Ahhh! Do you know how dirty this street is? Gah, it's in my mouth! EW!" I tried to get all the dirt in grime of my tongue. I look downright ridiculous I know but damnit that place is filthy.
James just continued to laugh at my expense and Seto walked away pretending not to know me. "C'mon dumbass I want to hurry up and finish," James said and started towards Flourish and Blotts.
I stopped and looked to him with a quizzical look my head cocked slightly to the side. I looked pretty cute if I do say so myself. "Huh, why are you so ready to go? What's the rush?"
"I want ice cream." Yeah that got me hauling ass. Inside Flourish and Blotts was a ton of books, and you had to be careful not to knock over a seven foot high pile. Needless to say this is not the best place for two trouble makers like James and me. We walked down an isle looking for the standard book of spells: grade one. I already knew most of the spells thanks to Seto and I perfected them thanks to Desoto. James knew a few but his parents wanted him to wait till school before learning magic. Potions however is a forte of mine and Desoto helps me all the time with it. He is a favorite of Slughorn.
Seto however was lucky to get an A in potions when he was in school and that is why he sticks to DADA. Actually I'm sure he can't tell the difference from a dragon scale and a fish scale. Heh, heh, he's an idiot. Any way we found our spell books and then looked for the potion books we would need. Once we found all the books we needed we both turned at the same time and bumped into each other causing us both to fall to the ground. James just so happened to hit a pile of books which caused a domino effect and everything came crashing down. "Hey James look what you did!" I yelled out pointing at the accused boy.
"Me? That was you!" He yelled back trying to brush off the blame.
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Shut up and get outta my store!"The shop keeper yelled out and threw an object our way.
"AAHHHH!" We yelled out and ran out of course we threw the money we owed on the counter on the way out.
"That was close," I said rubbing the back of my neck in embarrassment.
"Yeah," James agreed hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" we heard high pitch voice say and we both looked over to see the Black and Malfoy family. "Couple of blood traitor trouble makers it seems." The tall pale blonde haired woman answered herself. The Malfoys and Blacks and are two other pure blood families of course they, unlike us, like to flaunt their money and heritage in the face of others and believe that they are better than everyone else because of it. If anything I think it just makes them seem like they have a giant tree shoved up their asses. There were Mr. and Mrs. Black with their two young girls, Narcissa and Balletrix, and their nephew, Sirius. Then there was Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy with their son Lucius.
James and I glared at them. "What the fuck do you want?" I asked crossing my arms under my breasts which are quite wall developed for an eleven year old. I noticed Lucius looking at them but paid no mind. The adults looked appalled at my language and the kids looked surprised if not a bit amused. Well at least the blonde staring at my boobs did, but then I noticed Sirius hiding his laugh behind his hand. With a smirk I winked at him and turned my attention back to the adults.
"Such language is so unbecoming of a young lady," Mr. Black said with a sneer.
"Oh then it's a good thing I'm really a dude," I said, cutting James off before he could do something that would get him in trouble with his parents, and grabbed my boobs, "see these are just man titties." The adults finally grabbed their kids and walked away noses in the air. Then I noticed that Sirius had stayed behind and was still laughing at what I had said along with James.
"Oh man, that was awesome!" Sirius cried out still trying to regain his breathe. I just chuckled and rubbed the back of my neck, a nervous habit of mine.
"Yeah I guess it was."
"I'm Sirius Black by the way. Who're you?" He obviously didn't remember us from the Christmas party last year. Of course everyone probably just wanted to forget that incident. I still get shudder every time I see a lava lamp. Okay back to reality.
"I'm Jack Dragon."
"And I'm James Potter." We smiled at each other and started walking to Olivander's. "Don't you need to get back to your parents?" James asked Sirius as he walked between us.
"Nah, first of all those are my aunt and uncle and secondly they already pretty much hate me I was just with them so I could get here. I already have all of my money." He said it like it was nothing but I could hear something in his voice but considering I'm emotionally retarded I just brushed it off as nothing.
"Oh well then hang with us! I mean we're just grabbing our school supplies and then waiting on my bro to get done with whatever the hell he's doing. Knowing him he's probably jackin off somewhere," I said walking to his right with my eyes closed and arms behind my head in the lazy position.
"Cool!" We then walked into the wand shop and a creepy old dude walked up to us.
"Ah Miss Dragon, Mr. Potter, Mr. Black how nice it is to see you," He said browsing through the aisles upon aisles of wands. "Ah, Mr. Potter, try this one; Mahogany, 11 inches, Phoenix feather, pliable excellent for transfiguration." As soon as the wand was grasped in his hand sparks shot from the end of the wand and a smile spread across his face. Mr. Olivander then turned to Sirius and after about twenty wands and everyone jumping out of the way of flying objects and random spells he finally found the right one. "Yes holly, 12 inches, Dragon heart string good for hexes."
"Now Mrs. Dragon if you're anything like your brothers your wand will be rare. Now let's see ah yes the perfect one; yew, Hippogriff talon, 9 inches. You must be careful while using it. This wand is very powerful and demands a lot of respect. Now off you go." We paid and left the sword feeling very happy with ourselves. Once we grabbed the rest of our supplies and our school robes we went to animal shop and browsed through the aisles. James chose a brown barn owl and Sirius a black owl with white spots almost immediately, but I took my time looking at all of the animals till my eyes fell on a phoenix. It was black with blue tipped wing and blue markings around its bright green eyes.
I walked closer and it turned its head to me and we locked eyes. For a moment that's all we did until I smiled at it and inclined my head to show respect and it bowed its head in return and spread its wings and flew onto my shoulder and rubbed its face on my cheek. Giggling I walked up to the counter and paid for Yami, which means darkness, and left with James and Sirius. We walked into the ice cream place. I always forget the name and never remember took look before we go in. At the counter was Seto flirting with a young witch. Heh, heh time for revenge. I walked over to Seto and jumped on him in a hug and said, "Daddy mommy is being mean again!" The young witch he was talking to looked at him in disgust and walked away. With a cheeky ass smile I slipped off Seto and walked over to the table James and Sirius were at laughing at Seto's face. He just sat there staring off at where the girl had gone with his left eye twitching.
"You. Little. Bitch!" He dove at me but I jumped up and stepped on his head and used that to jump away from him and onto the stool he was sitting on. He landed face first on the floor.
"Hey you little brats you know I don't like you fighting in here," said an elderly woman from behind the counter. Her gray hair was pulled back in an intricate bun and her eyes were squinted a permanent accusing look.
"Ah, shut up you old hag," I said looking away from the old woman who I had known all my life. I mean really she must be as old as Dumbledore. "OW! GODDAMIT!" I yelled out and sat down Indian style while nursing my poor injured head.
"What did I tell ye about callin me that, you spoiled brat?" Old lady Gia yelled waving her giant spoon from hell threateningly.
"Chill out you old bat!"
"You idiot you should be lucky I haven't kicked your scrawny ass by now!"
"Up yours!"
"You worthless little bitch! Why the hell do I put up with you?"
Sirius just stared at the two of us before turning to Seto and James who were chowing down on their ice cream. "Does this happen often?"
"Yeah."
"Pretty much."
They both replied and picked up their bowls as I went sliding across the table from the hag kicking me across the room. "See that's why you don't have a man and live with thirty cats!" I yelled jumping back over to the old lady and we continued to send punches and kicks at each other. When they finished their ice cream Seto dragged me outta the place and we went our separate ways with Sirius before going home and nursing the giant bumps and bruises I have from our little meeting with Gia.
