Chapter 9: Diagon Ally
Hermione pov:
I woke up before anyone else. I saw all the girls fast asleep all princess like. I quietly crawled out of my blankets and tried to walk around all the girls and try not to wake them up. Slowly I got out of the room. Once I was out I breathed out a sigh of relief, I do not look good in the morning. I ran down the hall and quickly ran into my room and closed the door. I walked to the bathroom and looked at the sent's again and this time I choose sweet pea. I peeled off my clothing and stepped into the pool like bathtub I rubbed the shampoo in to my scalp then washed it out. I got out of the tub and dried myself the only thing that was left wet was my slightly damp hair. I put on a bathrobe. I walked out of the warm room into a slightly cooler one. I walked to the couch and sat down thinking about what I was going to get in Diagon Alley besides what's required. I was thinking about a diary that way I can tell someone anything without telling someone. A few ribbons for my hair and that potion that keeps it calm and not frizzy. A lot of paper to write everything down. Red and black ink. A quill. Oh and a book or four extra for reading. I think that's about it I walked over to the desk and I notice some paper, an eagle-feather quill, and green ink. Quickly thinking I ran and got my school supply list and ran back to the desk sitting down I grabbed the quill dipped it in the ink and read:

I wrote down what I was required to bring and them wrote down what little list I thought of earlier.
I decided to get dressed. I walked to my closet and opened it I decided to wear some muggle jeans with a light brown belt, and a dark brown t-shirt. I walked back into the bathroom and grabbed a bottle I squirted the cream into my hand and rubbed it on to my hair almost immediately it took affect it turned my frizzy hair and turned into soft ringlets. I walked back to the desk and folded the pice of parchment that was written on and slipped it into my pocket. I went for the door and opened it, but was taken back by the fact that a green eyed Italian was leaning against the wall. He turned his head and looked at me for a while. We both stood in silence for awhile until I found my voice.
"What are you doing here," I asked
He smiled and then said "waiting to escort a beautiful lady to breakfast."
"Pansy's not here," I said quickly. He smiled again, then took my arm and said "I was talking about you."
We walked down a few corridors then he said "you look nice today."
"Thank you," I said.
"Have you been to Diagon Alley before?" he asked.
"NNo," I stuttered.
He smiled again and then said "then may I have the honor to show you around today?"
"Sure," I said we came up to the dining room door he opened it and we walked in.
Blasé showed me to my seat he let go of my arm and pulled out my chair. I sat down and he pushed the seat forward lightly and then grabbed my hand and kissed it, I blushed, then leaning close he whispered "it's my pleasure, thank you." he pulled a way and smiled walking to his seat. I looked up and noticed Draco looked pissed, and the girls had a smile on and the boys looked extremely on edge. I ate looking down at my plate for most of the meal until I heard "Draco could you show me around Diagon Alley." I looked up noticing both Draco and Blasé watching me. Draco sneered at me and then said "I would love to Pansy."
Most of our little group split into pairs:
Astoria and Destiny
Pansy and Draco
Blasé and me
Ariana and Theo
Greg and Daphne
Hope and Adrian
We all finished breakfast early and Narcissa brought us over to the fireplace. She then grabbed a big pot that held floo powder.
"Alright we can do the flooing in pairs so Destiny, Astoria. You two can go after me. Then Draco, Blasé, Theodore, Adrian, and Greg and your partners can go.
Narcissa went through and then Draco and Pansy. Once it was our turn we walked in and then I felt warm. Like a spring breath that warmed you from the inside out.
"Hold on to me tight and keep your limbs tightly together, but hold on to me like in holding you from death it's self." he said I shivered and then wrapped my arms around him and noticed he smelt like a vineyard in Italy, a very sweet smell. He held out a hand and dropped the powder while saying "Diagon Alley." he wrapped his arms back around me and then I felt like we where flying through a tube. Then our feet finally set down I kept my arms around him sill just incase we weren't down moving yet.
"As much as I like holding you I can't move and I don't want to got stepped on by your brother." he whispered in my ear. I blushed looked around and noticed Draco was glaring at Blasé, I unwrapped my arms from him while he chuckled.
Once we where all there Narcissa told us to be home before dinner, and then sent us off. Blasé took my hand and led me too the nosiest part of the alley. I looked around and I saw shops for pets, shops to books, shops for clothing, shops for potion ingredients, shops for brooms, shops for wands, they even had shops candy they had everything. I looked around mouth open.
"Where do you want to go first," he asked me.
"Can we please go to a bookstore please," I asked hopefully. He smiled and pulled my hand into the right direction we walked to the store.
Once we got to the story it was like a dream come true. I decided to only get the books necessary and two other books that way I don't spend more then necessary. About an hour later me and Blasé had our school books but I had three books in hand that I couldn't choose between. I was having a mental war with myself.
"Alright which one do you want most," he asked me a half smile on his face. I found out Blasé likes books two and he is smart but just doesn't gloat about it.
"A Hogworts a History. For sure," I said.
"Alright then I will pay for that one call it a late birthday present," he said while taking the book away from me.
"But I couldn't. No you can't do it," I said trying to take the book back.
"Yes I can and I will it's from me a gift please accept it," he said. He gave me a smoldering look that is making my brain go all fuzzy. All I could do was nod. He smiled and walked me toward the check out area. Once we payed for our books Flopsy showed up and took our things then quickly left again.
"Ok now where do you want to go," he said. I checked my list for the next most exciting thing and it just happened to be a wand.
"Can we go to Olivanders," I asked. He smiled took my hand again and we took off for the shop.
Once we got there I was scared so Blaise went first and five wands later he found the right wand. Now it was my turn.
"And what is your name my dear," Olivander asked. He was a frail old man had gray hair that stuck up in odd angles and was wearing formal work clothes.
"Hermione Granger," I squeaked. He smiled and went in the back. A few minutes later he reappeared with about ten wands. He handed me all the wands and I tried them out none of them worked. I was getting worried maybe the owl gave it to the wrong Hermione? What if there was a girl out there who didn't know about magic because I'm the wrong Hermione Granger? While I was freaking out the little old man had grabbed another wand and handed it to me. I gently grabbed and then it just felt like it was humming between my fingers. I flicked the wand and it did what is was supposed to. We thanked the old man and then left.
Blasé didn't ask me where we should go this time just took my hand and lead. We ended up at a quill and ink shop. We agreed on parting ways so we could get what we wanted. I walked down the journal section and I saw this beautiful little book. It had a hard cover and on the front it had a pop out flower. I grabbed it and a few quills and bottles of ink. I walked to the check out counter and step my things down.
"Miss this journal can be personalized on the back I can put your name and you can choose a flower for the front," he said to me.
"My name is Hermione Jean Granger Nott and for the flower could it please be a bleeding heart," I asked him.
He nodded and got to work about five spells later my flower was on the front my name on the back. I payed for my things and walked out of the store only to see Draco and Pansy holding hands walking into another shop.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw a green eyed Italian. He gave me a sad smile knowing what I saw. He took my hand and lead me to the next shop. Everything from that point on just felt like a blur, but I had one question going through my mind. Why was he holding her hand?
