Harry turned to walk away once more, but Draco grabbed his shoulder. (BTW: Narcissa is just watching this take place in amusement.)

"Harry! There you are!" a voice yelled out.

Chapter Five

Ten minutes of looking at the shelves full of extendable ears, ton-tongue toffee, build your own swamp, fireworks, sick pills with antidote, fake wands, sugarquills, and other pranks including love potions, Lily began looking around. Her mother instincts were going haywire.

Lily began listing eveyone she saw.

'Let's see. There's James talking to Sirius and Remus. Dave is talking to Bill and Charlie. Ron is talking to Ginny who seems bored. Molly is scolding the twins for pulling a prank on Percy who went home looking like a mix between a cat and racoon. There's Arthur trying not to encourage his children. Harry's...Where's Harry?'

"Dave." Lily was beginning to panic.

"Yes mom?"

"It's Harry. He's...he's not here. can you go...?" Worry clouding Lily's voice.

Dave rolled his eyes. "Of course."

"I'll go with him." Bill volunteered.

Dave nodded and the two of them left the shop.

"Your mom sounded worried. Even borderlining on having a panic attack." Bill noted to make small talk.

"Yeah, she's been that way since Harry was a baby from what dad has told me. Truthfully, i don't blame her." Dave sighed, his worry hidden better than Lily's but still noticeable.

Bill nodded in understanding, he was consistently worried about his younger siblings.

Dave suddenly froze and stiffened in place.

Bill turned to look at him curiously before following his gaze. He also froze slightly.

Harry was just about three shops away from the twins shop, but he wasn't alone. The Malfoys and Snape were with him.

They saw Harry spin around lightly, laughter in his eyes. They couldn't hear what he was saying, but they got the impression that he was teasing the Malfoys and Snape.

Dave graoned. "I swear he's not my brother."

"Then who is he?" Bill asked lightly seeing Harry turn in their direction.

Dave smiled, trying to be serious, "She's my sister."

Bill chuckled, but they had noticed the younger Malfoy grab Harry's shoulder.

"Harry! There you are!" Dave yelled, catching his younger brother's attention as well as the Malfoy's and Snape's.

Everyone else ignored them.

Harry waited until Dave and Bill were beside him to ask, "Does this mean mom knows I wasn't with you guys?"

Dave glared. "Yes so we better be going."

Turning to the three Malfoy,s and Snape, Dave spoke to them. "I'm Dave Potter, Harry's older brother."

Draco nodded in acknowlegdement. "I'm Draco Malfoy. This is my father, Lucius Malfoy. My mother, Narcissa Malfoy, and my godfather, Severus Snape."

"Pleasure, I'm sure. We really must be going. Harry is in enough trouble as it is."

Placing a hand on Harry's shoulder, Dave guided Harry to the twins' shop. Bill following at his own pace.

Lucius turned to his wife. "I suppose you found that quite amusing."

"Quite. I also probably realized whtat you three have yet to grasp." Narcissa's tone held amusement and a knowing that they couldn't place yet.

Once Harry, Dave, and Bill arrived at the shop Harry had somehow disappeared from his brother's side into his mother's arms in the blink of an eye. After hugging him to death, Lily began lecturing him. Harry rolled his eyes when his mother wasn't looking.

Soon enough, everyone said their goodbyes. The four Potters plus a Sirius and a Remus went back to Godric's Hollow. (there was a couple guess rooms that sirius and remus claimed as theirs)
