Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

After the havoc that was his birthday Harry still had plans to meet his friends in Diagon Alley to do some back to school shopping. So after a quick breakfast, followed by his morning training session, Harry dressed in his street clothes teleported to the alley.

Observing his surroundings Harry found himself in the middle of a crowd near the entrance to Knockturn Alley. Initially expecting a lot of panic about the famous boy-who-lived, Harry was pleasantly surprised to find that without his scar nobody recognized him.

Figures no scar, no fame Harry chuckled to himself. His good mood dropped as he spotted a certain annoying ferret approaching, deciding he rather not deal with the head ache the young ninja hid himself amongst the crowd. As Draco neared it became clear he wasn't there alone as next to him was his father, Lucius Malfoy.

The family resemblance between father and son was very strong but there were clear differences too. While Lucius was every bit of arrogant and slimy as his son; unlike Draco, he was smart enough to hide his more devious nature from the public. And according to what Ron had told him, the elder Malfoy had the British minister of magic in his back pocket.

"Come quickly Draco, I wish to get this done before anyone has a chance to see what I'm doing." Lucius instructed.

Feeling curious Harry tailed the father and son down a dark alley where they entered a shady looking shop called Borgin and Burkes. Spotting a cracked window around the back Harry slipped inside his ninja training ensured his presence was undetected.

"Father, I thought you said you were going to buy me a present" Draco hissed, as looked around the shop with a bored expression.

"I said I would buy you a racing broom, Draco" said Lucius in cool, low tone of voice. "Although with the reckless way you acted last year, I'm not even sure if I should do that. You foolishly allowed yourself to be manipulated by Potter and not only that you were humiliated in front of the entire school, in what should've been a one sided duel in your favor."

"It was Potter's fault" the boy tried to argue, but fell silent from the harsh glare he received from his father.

"We'll discuss this later in private." Harry had to grin at this clearly the pure blood bigot wasn't happy with his son losing against someone using "filthy muggle dueling". Finished with his son for now Lucius turned his attention the shopkeeper, currently trying and failing to hide his attempts to eavesdrop on the Malfoy's conversation.

"Ah, Lucius and young Master Malfoy too, charmed. Borgin greeted. "It is interesting you'd show up today, because I have a once in a lifetime offer. Just in, reasonably priced…."

"I am not buying today, Mr. Borgin but selling" Lucius interrupted.

"Selling?"

"Yes, it seems that new Muggle Protection act appears to pose a threat to several of my possessions at Malfoy Manor. No doubt if they were to be discovered, I would have to answer many awkward questions. Normally they wouldn't bother me but with that flea bitten muggle loving fool, Arthur Weasley being persistent on pushing that act through, the threat lingers ever so slightly."

"Surely the Ministry wouldn't bother such a noble man like you" said the shopkeeper doing a disgustingly obvious bit of sucking up. Harry tuned the rest of the conversation out as they'd stopped discussing anything even remotely interesting to the young ninja, he decided it'd be a good time to get back and find his friends. Silently and unseen Harry left the shady store and returned to the more pleasant streets of Diagon Alley.

"Harry!" Turning around the young ninja was pleased to see his friends waving to him from the Leaky Cauldron.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Harry greeted.

"Not much, our parents went ahead to Gringotts." Hermione informed. "How've things been with April?" the sad look on her friend's face said it all. The Hogwarts group understood that April was the first human friend Harry had ever had, losing her friendship was still a sore topic for him and the ninja turtles.

"I'm sure she'll come around" said Neville.

"I hope so" Harry sighed. "Anyway, I think I can see your families." It turns out Harry was right as the Granger and Weasley parents, and Neville's grandmother approached the four friends.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Potter" Madam Longbottom greeted formally. "My grandson speaks highly of you.

"Nice to meet you too, Madam Longbottom. But please call me Harry, I've never been one for a lot of formalities." This was the answer Augusta was expecting. From her conversations with Neville and Prof. McGonagall, she'd learned quite a bit about this group of friends and honestly she was pleased at what she saw in their interactions.

Ron's dad Arthur also greeted Harry, though was slightly disappointed when the young ninja couldn't explain how the T-phones worked. Honestly putting the secret of their magic immunity aside, Harry just wasn't able to follow Donatello's explanation on the more technical side of how a cellphone worked. Remembering that the Weasley twins, and their sole daughter Ginny were waiting for them the bookstore the party quickly made their way through the crowds.

"Hey you'll never guess what I saw" said Harry.

"What?" his friends asked, knowing that anything that caught their ninja friend's interest would most likely be exciting.

"I caught sight of the ferret and his dad selling some stuff in a shady shop called, Borgin and Burkes.

"Selling you say" said Mr. Weasley, a look of grim satisfaction on his face. Once Harry confirmed that ferret was the name he called Draco Malfoy, Arthur was feeling positively giddy. "So we've got him worried. Oh I'd love to bust Malfoy."

"As you should" agreed Madam Longbottom. "The likes of Lucius Malfoy are a disgrace to wizards everywhere. The blasted coward didn't even have the guts to stick to his belief when caught." Turning her attention to Harry, Augusta also developed a smug look. "I have to admit I enjoyed hearing about how you defeated Malfoy Jr. and his stooges single handedly, without magic, and in front of the entire school no less. Am I correct in assuming it was those skills that allowed you to succeed in your group's mission to save the philosophers stone?"

"Yes ma'am. My adoptive father is a highly accomplished martial artist and he trains me and my older brothers."

"Well he's done a fine job." Mrs. Granger complimented. "Though I'd appreciate it if you four could manage to keep out of trouble this year." The four Gryffindors promised that they wouldn't go looking for trouble at school this year, of course none of the parents knew about Harry's battles in New York or the groups struggle to escape from under the gaze of Dumbledore.

Upon reaching the bookstore the group was met with an absurdly long line leading from inside to around the building. It was the approaching Weasley children that explained that the famous wizard adventurer, and author of most of their booklist Gilderoy Lockhart was there to do a book signing. Deciding that they'd rather not have to deal with the chaos inside most of the adults left the kids to do their own shopping.

"It's great to see you again Harry" Ginny smiled, giving the boy a quick hug.

"You too Ginny" said Harry, glad she didn't seem to be holding a grudge. After meeting on the train platform last year Harry had made an effort to try and keep in touch with the young Weasley girl through letters. But after Hedwig's mutation that had obviously no longer been an option and Ron wasn't about to share his T-phone, the first new item he'd ever had.

"You're welcome" Ron mouthed from over his sister's shoulder.

Ah that explains it Harry thought, apparently Ron had come up with an excuse for his lack of communication.

"I can't believe we get to meet Gilderoy Lockhart" Hermione squealed. "He's written almost our entire booklist…."

"Um, Hermione maybe you shouldn't get too excited" Neville said delicately. "He doesn't really look like the type to go out on dangerous adventures." Taking a look at the autograph table, Harry had to agree with Neville on that one. Lockhart while admittedly a good looking wizard was just that, a pretty boy and he didn't make any effort to hide it. The man was actually checking his hair in between autographs and was soaking up the attention like a sponge.

"Don't bother Neville" Ginny sighed. "Some witches just fall for that guy's charm. Unfortunately that includes our mum." A quick scan of the crowed of witches proved Ginny's words true as Harry spotted Mrs. Weasley amongst the Lockhart fans.

"Yeah mum, fancies him" said Ron, shaking his head in embarrassment. With the crowd of witches fussing over Lockhart, Harry found himself once again very grateful for the fact the wizarding public didn't recognize him without his scar….all except one apparently.

"Why if it isn't Harry Potter" Lockhart announced with overblown excitement. The man had the audacity to force himself past Ginny and Neville, knocking them to side, and try to force Harry in front of the cameras but luckily the ninja had a trick up his sleeve.

"Well first of all you knocked over my friends. And second I'm not Harry Potter!" he exclaimed, lifting his bangs his lie supported by the absence of the famous lightning scar. Honestly Harry was expecting this guy to fumble over his words, considering he seemed like an idiot but apparently Lockhart knows how to work a crowd.

"Oh my apologies young man" he said dramatically. "It's just been so long since I've been in my beloved England. I guess I got ahead of myself since your features match those of the fabled boy-who-lived. Please allow me to make up for my mistake." Unfortunately Lockhart's idea of making it up to Harry was to give him a free set of his books even worse he announced that he'd be their professor for the upcoming year. Needless to say Harry took the first chance he got to escape back to his friends.

"Here Ginny, I'll buy my own" said Harry, dropping the books into her cauldron. With Ron having his new T-phone, he figured Ginny deserved to have something new when she started Hogwarts. Though he supposed they probably would've meant more if he paid for them. But the smile on Ginny's face told him she understood his intentions.

"So the great Harry Potter can't bother to deal with the little people" Draco drawled, walking out behind a shelf.

"Maybe he just doesn't feel like he has to be the center of attention unlike you" said Ginny, proving that Ron wasn't the only loyal Weasley.

"Got yourself a girlfriend, Potter."

"What's wrong ferret boy, jealous I actually have friends" Harry smirked, enjoying the embarrassed look on Draco's face. Growing frustrated at constantly being bested by Harry, the young Malfoy began to reach into his robes.

"Just try it, Malfoy" Ron hissed, as he and Hermione stood on either said of the ferret, forcing Draco to realize he had stupidly surrounded himself. "If Harry's too busy, I'd love a chance to wipe the floor with you."

"Well, well Arthur Weasley" said Lucius, walking up to stand behind his son. Harry mentally cursed as he realized he was so distracted that he didn't notice the adults had returned.

Man, if Master Splinter finds out he'll drill me on spatial awareness for a month.

"Lucius" said Mr. Weasley, his voice uncharacteristically cold.

"Busy time at the Ministry recently, I hear. All those…raids I hope their paying you overtime." Reaching into Ginny's cauldron, Lucius pulled out a worn copy textbook, studying it scornfully. "Apparently not. What's the point of being a disgrace to wizards if you don't even pay you well for it?"

"Why don't you tell us?" said Madam Longbottom. "After all, a Death Eater would know all about being a disgrace. Wouldn't you Lord Malfoy?"

"I would watch your tongue if I were you, Madam. I'd hate for someone to send you to stay with your son and daughter-in-law" Augusta's eyes narrowed at that thinly vailed threat, even the normally level headed Neville looked ready to curse Lucius' head off.

"I suggest you leave now" said Mr. Granger, he and his wife standing proudly with their new friends. But Lucius was clearly Draco's father in more ways than one as his attitude remained, foolishly over confident, having the audacity to look at the Grangers as if they were beneath him.

"The company you keep, Weasley and here I thought your family could sink no lower. Though perhaps you should consider selling your wi…." Whatever he was about to say about Molly was silenced by what Harry considered, a good right cross to the jaw.

What happened next was a brief fist fight between Arthur and Lucius, to Harry, Hermione, Neville, and the Weasley children's delight Mr. Weasley was clearly the better fighter. The fight went on until Molly and store security arrived and broke them up.

"Take it girl it's the best your father can give you" said Lucius, dropping the textbook into Ginny's cauldron. "Come Draco." As the Malfoys walked off Harry decided to check Ginny's cauldron, having seen something extra fall in.

"What's that?" asked Ginny, as Harry pulled out an old diary from her cauldron. Arthur and Molly confirmed that they hadn't picked it out, leaving Harry with only one explanation. Asking his friends to watch his books for him the young ninja disappeared into the crowd.

It didn't take long for him to spot his target walking out the store, taking aim he threw the book hitting Lucius Malfoy right in the back of the head.

Turning to see who ever dared to strike him, Lucius was surprised to see the diary he planted inside the Weasley daughter's cauldron laying at his feet, a slip of parchment sticking out.

"Are you alright, Father?" asked Draco, ignorant to his father's growing ire as he read the note.

"Come Draco" Lucius growled, the diary clenched tightly in his hand, the slip of parchment sliding out of the book as he stalked off. Picking up the parchment Draco could now understand his father's mood.

I don't know or care why you planted this in Ginny's cauldron.

But remember this Malfoy.

If you should ever threaten my friends I swear I'll make you pay.

Harry Potter

Honestly, Draco didn't know why his father needed that diary in the Weasley girl's possession, all he knew was Potter had somehow foiled his father's plans and even went so far as to threaten him. Ever since last year Harry had bested and humiliated him at every turn and now he's done the same to his father, well Draco would show Harry Potter why no one should dare to challenge the Malfoy family.
