On their way out of the grounds they ran into Harrie doing her homework.
"hey dray, Mrs. Malfoy what'cha doing?"
"shopping my dear and call me Narcissa."
"I wish I could join you guys I'm writing Flitwick's essay on why making items sing is useful I think my brain is melting."
Draco grinned "how about I show you what I bought when we get back?"
"ok."
"we best be going Draco it was nice to see you Harrie"
"bye then."
They apparated into diagonally and headed to madam Malkin's first.
"hello how can I help you today?" the seamstress greeted
"Well my son had a sudden growth spurt so he needs a new uniform and new wizarding robes"
"ok then up on the stool then Mr. Malfoy."
He did so and a magical measuring tape measured every possible measurement while a quick quotes quill jotted them down.
"if you like you can browse our catalogue? Or you can leave it up to me"
Draco kissed her hand and said "I think I'll leave it up to your skilled hands madam but I want lots of choice of cuts and colours"
"such a charmer you've got here Mrs. Malfoy come back at about 5 and I should be done by then."
Once they were outside Narcissa lead Draco to a fancy French restaurant for lunch.
"do you think I should take my mate there for our first date? Or would it be too much? I don't want to seem stuck up... or what if she expects more from me cause of who we are"
"dragon your babbling calm down, you should take her there she will love it now to the muggle world? Fortnum & mason's then Harrods but after that you can drag me anywhere you like I promise I won't complain."
"what even if I took you to a tattoo parlour?"
Narcissa paled "you really want to?" she asked shakily.
"no mother don't worry my mating mark is enough for me, but nice to know you wouldn't complain"
He held out his arm and lead his mother through the leaky cauldron out onto the street to a waiting car. The driver got out and opened the door for them.
"where to?"
"we want to go to Harrods and Fortnum and masons we don't mind what order and after that anywhere of Draco's choosing"
"right oh ma'am"
"mother I don't need another suit it's only a shade lighter than that one and they are both cut the same and anyway if you buy me an extensive wardrobe now how are you going to treat me at Christmas?"
"fine but your taking the red shirts you looked good in them"
"deal"
"so where are we going now?"
Draco returned to the dressing room to change back "hmm I don't know either Clara's or the cove but I also hope to visit glitter and cogs."
"and these are shops?"
"yes though the last is a costume shop but trust me it's great." He came out and handed the clothes they were buying to the shop assistant to wrap.
"add those and the rest to our account and have them at our door by tomorrow."
The assistant nodded and took them all. Draco lead his mother out again.
"so left or right mother?"
"we are walking? Um ok right"
He took her down the street and then down an alley beside a book shop.
"Dragon are you sure there's a shop down here we could get mugged!" She hissed urgently.
"yes we are here actually"
He opened the door to a surprisingly well lit shop Narcissa smiled and started browsing like a kid in a candy store. Draco shook his head and grinned starting browsing himself.
"so what sort of thing were you looking for in here?"
"jeans relaxing wear like t-shirts and anything else we see that we like."
"would this be something?"
She held up a black satin shirt with silver thread running through it.
"it won't be too much?"
"I think it would be good for a party. Do we have to carry everything?"
"no I'm going to find Ethan he normally comes and helps..." he trailed off heading towards the counter and ringing the bell on the desk.
"coming!" a voice came from the back a man came rushing out. "welcome to the cove how can I help you?"
"I heard that you offer special services..." he teased receiving a squeal and a hug from over the counter.
"how have you been ooo you've grown and your all muscly you sure you won't swing my way?"
"I'm sure, and I'm ok actually but due to my growth spurt I need a brand new wardrobe I brought mum here from Harrods so behave oh and I have a girl to impress so I'm hoping to be your personal dress up doll"
Ethan came round and dragged Draco over to the rails giving him allot of items and pushing him past Narcissa to the changing rooms. She followed and handed him her selection too before turning to the other man.
He was a bit shorter than Draco with a slight build, casually tousled hair and kind eyes but what surprised her the most was his outfit.
Black converse high tops, electric blue skinny jeans, a yellow shiny shirt under a black sparkly waistcoat and a matching bowtie.
"you must be Draco's mum I'm Ethan it's wonderful to meet you."
She just stared at his outfit.
"uh yeah I um like bright outfits..."
"oh I'm sorry that was rude it's nice to meet you too how long have you known my son?"
"met him about a year ago came in cause he was lost or something and ended up buying a coat from me with French writing all over it I didn't know what it said but he loved it"
"he got that here? Oh I love him in that who designed that?"
"my brother goes round and finds all these one offs from designers all over the world and ships me boxes and boxes of original pieces so I have no idea but it is one of a kind like everything I sell that's why I called this place the treasure cove as you'll never know what you'll find but everyone shortens it."
There was a cough causing them both to turn to see Draco in black jeans and a black shirt with a dragon and a phoenix intertwined.
"sooo?"
"yes" they said together.
After awhile Narcissa started exploring again trusting Ethan's judgement.
"Draco?"
"yeah?"
"as your mums off browsing would you like to try on some sexier outfits?"
"sure"
He went to towards the back and picked up a few things went back and handed them past the curtain. A few minutes later Draco came out in a see through black shirt that clung to his arms and chest and black leather trousers that clung in all the right places.
"I could eat you stop teasing me and try the next lot on"
Draco chuckled and did as he was told.
An hour later they left with 8 large bags of clothes.
Draco then took Narcissa to Clara's which turned out to be an accessory boutique.
They bought trainers, converse ( green, black and white with a spiral pattern), dress shoes, black leather boots, some new sensible shoes for school, 8 belts of different colours and without his mother seeing some lace up wrist cuffs and an arm band to match.
They decided they were too tired to go to the costume shop but would during the summer. Once the driver had packed all the stuff away he drove them back to the leaky cauldron and as soon as they were inside Narcissa shrunk all the bags lightening them before handing them to Draco which he pocketed.
They had a quick coffee then finally went back to Madam Malkin's.
"ah there you are I was beginning to wonder if you got lost. I've made everything that I think will suit you but if you don't like it just send it back and ill refund you, it should all fit but I will do alterations free of charge." She handed Draco four tiny boxes.
"I also added a few extras you didn't request like a good winter cloak and some dragon hide trousers cause I think they'd suit you."
"thank you madam and I'm sure it will all look wonderful on me as you made them" he said as he added the boxes to his other purchases.
"oh shush now off you go dear you should be back at school not complimenting an old woman."
He flashed her a grin as he left.
"dragon why do you insist on doing that with shop keepers it's not proper and you have a mate."
"because mother dear it gets me special service like the cloak, I'm sure she wouldn't think about what I'd like but didn't ask for unless I did and anyway father taught me to do that so take it up with him."
"ooo that man i'll have to think of a suitable punishment for teaching my baby boy bad manners."
"I'm sure the couch would do mum"
"I suppose" she took his hand and apparated them to the gates of the castle walking him to Severus's quarters and knocking.
They were met with a smiling Harriet before she dragged Draco over to the sofa asking him all about his purchases.
Narcissa smiled and waved them goodbye as she flooed home.
