To xo-harlequin girl-xo: No, she didn't do the Black madness but she's pinning for Lucius. Oh unfulled love, we all love them. Thanks for your review.

To jackykins: He looks just like Snape when Severus was his age and he does have Lily's eyes. If I didn't describe him that way then I'm sorry and beg for forgiveness.

To omega13a: Thanks for your review and I like a smart Harry over a dumb one.

angelvan105: With Dobby there's always trouble.

Chapter 4: At Flourish And Blotts

A week after Harry had arrived at the Burrow the Hogwarts letters arrived. Harry saw that all he needed was the Standard Book of Spells: Grade Two and the rest were all Lockhart books. Ron looked worried when he saw the list and so did Mrs. Weasley.

"It looks like we'll be able to buy a lot of Ginny's things second hand," Mrs. Weasley told everyone.

Harry turned to Ginny. "So you're starting this year?"

Ginny nodded going bright red.

And so that afternoon Harry and everyone went to Diagon Alley. Harry took a lot longer because he didn't trust the Floo Powder at all. Finally he attempted and ended up in the Leaky Cauldron, which Harry was glad about. Mr. Weasley waited on him and then they went to Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley was Harry's favorite place to be. He went to Gringotts to re-fill his money bag (something that he noticed made Ron jealous) and then they went to get their things.

They met Hermione outside the Owl Post, sending a letter off to someone that she wouldn't tell Harry and Ron about even though Ron kept bugging her about it. Mrs. Weasley had told them to meet her in an hour to get their things and Harry spent that hour buying Ron and Hermione ice-cream and then going to re-fill his potions supplies.

"So did you get everything done, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Harry answered. "Though Ron is still working on his Charms."

Ron glared at Harry and Hermione shook her head.

An hour later they arrived outside Flourish and Blotts, the bookstore that Harry went to get his things. He found a very excellent book on Potions which included a Weight Reduction Solution. He looked through it and saw that he almost had everything he needed. He knew another trip to the Apothecary would be in order.

"Why do you want to brew that?" Hermione asked.

"To see what Dudley would look skinny," Harry answered.

"Be careful, Harry," Hermione warned. "You can't do magic-."

"I'm going to brew it before term ends," Harry cut in. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No," Hermione said.

"Oh leave it, Hermione," Ron said. "We all know that Harry is a capable potion brewer. Look at the score that he got in Potions."

Hermione looked at Ron darkly and Harry knew that he was talking about the higher score in Potions that Harry got over Hermione.

"Ron, drop it," Harry said. "Let's get our things before something else happens."

To Harry's absolute horror something else did happen. Lockhart was there, signing his stupid books, and when he saw Harry he at once pulled him into the limelight. Pansy Parkinson, who was also getting her books, thought this was funny.

"Leave him alone, he didn't want all that," Ginny said.

Harry was shocked. This was the first time that Ginny had spoken in-front of him.

"Hay, Snape, it looks like you have a girlfriend," Parkinson joked.

"Why don't you leave me alone," Harry said and he took his books and left, wanting to be as far away from Parkinson as possible.

Harry waited for the rest of the group to come out and when they did Mr. Weasley looked shaken. Harry wanted to know what was wrong and Ron told him that he would tell him later. Harry stopped back that Apothecary to pick up the ingredients that he needed for the potion and then re-joined the Weasley's. The group then returned to the Leaky Cauldron to take their things back to the Burrow, the Grangers were returning to the muggle world.

"I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express," Harry told Hermione.

"See you then," Hermione said, smiling at him and then left.

Harry threw some Floo Powder in and was gone.
