Draco's POV

Blaise and I went to Diagon Alley to buy our dress robes for the ball. We searched for a few minutes and found a shop called "Andrew's Coture." The store looks expensive.

We enter through the tall doors and saw that the store is small, but the room looks like it came directly out of a history book. The room looks like what Marie Antoinette wanted to live in.

There was a Barbados modern wicker sofa set in the color of ruby (picture on the side). On the corner was a cherry colored 100 series conference table. It was paired with a French script office chair.

We walked up to the table and the person sitting there stood up. "Good to meet you, I'm Andrew, by the way. Welcome to my shop."

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Draco, and this is Blaise."

He held out his hand and I shook it, Blaise followed suits.

"Please sit down," he said, pointing to the 3-piece sofa set.

We each took a seat and talked about what kind of clothes we need for the ball.

"I don't know much about designs but I want a black classical suit," I started.

"Sure, I know perfectly well what style suits you." Andrew scribbled on his fancy parchment.

"What about you, Blaise?" he asked.

"I would preffer a gray suit and it would look almost silver, say, it would shine in the light or something."

"OK, so let me get this straight, you," he said pointing to me,"would like your robes a bit classical, while you," he said turning to Blaise, " would like yours with a bit of flair."

"Yes, that's it for now."

I thanked Andrew and he led us to a room and got the required measurements to make our clothes.

When we were done, we paid 5 galleons each and Andrew thanked us, saying, "I'll send you the suits tomorrow morning through mail, try it on then send it back to me when it needs adjustments."

We said goodbye and went to another store. This time, it was a store for props. It's called "Prop Shop."

We went in and this time a million faces were staring at us, racks and racks of glasses, hats, scarves, and more lined the walls.

A lady aproached us and said, "Hello, I'm Daniella, glad you came to my store, how may I help you?"

"We are searching for masks we could use during our masquerade ball."

"I have a variety of them right here. What color would you like?"

"One siver mask and one green mask please."

"Sure, I know the perfect ones, please wait for a moment."

I nodded and Blaise leaned on the wall without the masks.

A while later, Daniella came back with the two masks we asked for, they look mysterious, they were perfect. We paid for them and went out of the shop.

"Well," Blaise laughed,"it was the fastest shopping I've ever done."

"Yeah," I agreed,"we just told them what we needed and they gave us the perfect products."

"We finished earlier than I thought we would."

I nodded,"Do you want to walk around or head back to Hogwarts?"

"Let's just walk around."

We walked around for a while until we saw Potter and Weasley exiting a clothing store with their purchases.

I nudged Blaise and pointed to them,"Do you think they know about Granger and me?"

He thought for a while and said,"Well, if you think hard enough, no they don't."

"Why do you think so?"

"We'll, Granger's scared to get into a fight with them and I'm pretty sure Weasley will go crazy."

"Hmm...do you think she told the Weaslette?"

"Yeah, It's hard to keep a secret like that."

I looked up to see them staring at us and I smirked for no reason. They got annoyed at the smirk and walked away.

We followed them back to the castle. We ate dinner and went to sleep early.

Next Day...

During breakfast, I got a package with a note attatched to it, Blaise also got one.

Here is what the note said:

Mr. Malfoy,

This package contains the dress robes you have ordered. Please try it out and see if it needs some adjustments. In case there is, just send it back to me with a note saying the problem.

with high regards,

Andrew Wayne

We finished eating and went back to my room. We tried on the dress robes and they fit perfectly.

I wrote a short thank you note to Andrew saying the suits fit perfectly.

Afterwards, we went to classes.

As usual, the professors in every subject gave us each an essay due in a week. Everything was hectic but at least I could look forward to quidditch practice.
