Diagon Alley and Shopping

(Disclaimer on Chapter 1)

(Last Time):

When we got into bed and went to sleep, dreaming of all the havoc we could cause once we got into Hogwarts. I don't know about the others, but I'm ready to take whatever fate has in store for me.

I should've known that little declaration would tempt fate.

(This Time):

Gen's P.O.V

I slept peacefully through the night with sweet dreams of Neville and I living happily ever after, as girly as that sounds.

As I dreamt of my future with my guy, I noticed that Luna and Draco were together and were having a child, while I was quickly rising to the top of my singing and dancing career. I know, you're a witch, why would you wanna sing of all things but I couldn't help it. Ever since I was a child I felt I had a connection to music and used every chance I had away from my fucked up mother and brother to sing. Even though I sung around anybody I could, but mostly my friends, they encouraged me to record a song, but I never did.

With dancing it was a completely different story. I didn't like dancing as a child until we all came to the Academy. The house elves had taught the others and I dancing, but it was only formal, for like dances and stuff, but none of the modern muggle dancing like you see in the streets.

When we took the dancing classes at the Academy, I fell in love because I knew that it was another way to express myself, and it helped that I needed to know how to dance if I ever wanted to get into the singing classes. For some reason Valentina Vanin, The Ancient Runes/ Singing Professor, wanted us to know at least the basics and one of our own dances before accepting us into the class. I think she said something about multitasking being easier because she knew some people that couldn't sing and dance at the same time. I'm not very sure, I don't really remember the details because I wasn't really paying close attention to her words, only the moves.

Thankfully, after some practice, I took to dancing like Neville took to plants.

Anyway, I woke up to an alarm I had set on my cell phone, ( A Black iPhone 5s) The case had a Black background, though in the middle was a golden/copper kinda color circle with flames in the middle, but under it in was a single, eight letter UpperCase word of the same color, it said DIVERGENT.

I smiled as I cut off the alarm and looked at my now awake friends, with a look of happiness, uncontrolled and unnecessary happiness. It all came from the design of my glittery, handmade phone. Much to the annoyance of my friends, ever since I read the Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth and saw the movie remake, i'd been obsessing over it non-stop.

To their relief, I'd toned it down over the last two months, but I still could never get rid of the happiness I felt when my thoughts turned to the books turned movie franchise.

Anyway, as we all got up, Draco and I got each trunk from the pocket they were in the night before and enlarged them to their actual size.

Luna and I opened our trunks and stepped down into the compartment that held the clothes and bathroom.

We each took a shower in the bathroom, which had 2 stalls, and walked into our separate closets to get ready for the day, which included shopping with a bookworm with small fashion sense. As I closed the doors to my closet, the morning song of the day began to play at full volume. I danced around the room, singing to the song as I picked out something to wear. The song I had decided to play this morning really brought out my Luna side. It's called Wake Up by The Boo Radleys.

Summer's gone, day's spent with the grass and sun,
I don't mind, to pretend i do seems really dumb.
I rise as the morning comes, crawling through the blinds,
I shouldn't be up at this time, but i can't sleep with you there by my side.

Wake up it's a beautiful morning,
The sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up it's so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.

Twenty five, don't recall a time i felt this alive,
So wake up boo, there's so many thing's for us to do.
It's early so take your time, don't let me rush you please,
I know i was up all night,i can do anything, anything, anything.

Wake up it's a beautiful morning,
The sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up it's so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.

Wake up [Repeat: x 8]

But you can't blame me now for the death of someone,
But you can't blame me now for the death of someone.
But you're gonna say, what you want to say,
You have to put the death in everything.

Wake up it's a beautiful morning,
The sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up it's so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.

Wake up it's a beautiful morning,
The sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up it's so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.
Ahhhh

By the time I was done singing the song, I was dressed and ready to go out shopping for the day. I looked into the full body mirror as I was leaving and fixed my top so it was straight and unwrinkled as I walked out.

I wore a Gray Tank Top, a Red/Black/White Plaid Overshirt with Elbow-Length Sleeves that was tied up in the front right under my chest, Black Skinny Jeans with rips on the knees, and Red Low Top All-Star Chuck Taylor Converse. For my make-up, my currently Hazel/Gold eyes were surrounded by Black Eye Liner, Black Mascara, and a thick layer of Black Eye Shadow. My jewelry was simply a Red Feather Earrings. Last, my hair was now straight and went down to the middle of my back, It started as a Dark Brown color but faded to a nice Golden Brown.

As I walked from the closet, I grabbed my Black Fringe Body Cross Bag. I quickly made sure I had everything I needed in there before closing the door and stepping out of the Trunk.

When I stepped out Luna was gone and the boys were already dressed and ready to go, while Hermione was sorting through a pile of clothes on my bed.

Draco's P.O.V

When the girls stepped into their trunk, Neville and I stepped into ours as well and headed to the showers to wash up. When we both finished with our showers, we went to our separate closets to get ready. Unlike the girls, Neville and I don't play music in the morning time, since we were both very grouchy about being woken up before 12 in the afternoon.

I shifted through the racks until I found the right clothes for today. I decided to wear Blue Dark Wash Slim Fit Jeans, a Black Crew Neck Mesh Jersey, a Black Rubber Link Chrono Watch, and my Black Faux-Leather High Tops with a Rounded Toe and Neon-Green Laces.

When I was leaving my closet, Neville stepped out and I got a good look at him.

Neville was wearing Light Blue Denim Western Wash Slim Fit Jeans, a Navy Blue Long-Sleeved Fleece SweatShirt, Black Nerd Glasses, and Black Faux-Leather High Tops with a Rounded toe and Bright Blue Laces.

I nodded at him and we both left the our trunk. When we stepped out, Neville shrunk it and put it in his right pocket. Five minutes later, a smiling Luna left her trunk and I was left speechless as usual. Every morning, whenever I see my girl, I can't help but be breath taken whenever I see her in an amazing outfit every day. The girls tried to not wear the same outfits, with the exception of PJs or the school uniform, but they loved their clothes too much to not wear some of the pieces over again.

Luna wore an Elegant Mint Colored One-Shoulder Dress with small Brown Belt around the waist, A Gray Jacket with Sequin Embellishments, Dark Brown Boots. For jewelry and accessories, she had A Sterling Silver Necklace with The word 'Dreams' spelled on it in diamonds and A Black Fringe Body Cross Bag that was Suede. Luna's make-up wasn't much, just Black Mascara, giving her a natural look. Last, her Long Blonde hair was Curled with some of the hair from the sides pinned back in a cute half up hairstyle.

I snapped out of my daze and smiled at my girl before I glared at Neville, he was making a mock-disgusted look. About 10 minutes after Luna stepped out of her trunk, somebody knocked on the door. Luna went over and opened the door, revealing Mia, holding a big pile of clothes on her arms. We let her in and guided her to the closest bed, which was Mine and Luna's, to set the clothes down.

Quickly, already hyped up, Luna began to look through clothes. She was throwing clothes all over the place, slowly getting disgusted with almost everything Hermione owned, the outfit she wore yesterday was practically the only thing they found that was good enough in her wardrobe to wear.

Luna excused herself, saying she needed to use the bathroom for a second, before going to the bathrooms that Neville and I used yesterday to get ready for dinner. Not a second after she closed the door, Gen stepped out of the trunk and shrunk it before putting it in her jeans pocket.

Am wore a Gray Tank Top, a Red/Black/White Plaid Overshirt with Elbow-Length Sleeves that was tied up in the front right under my chest, Black Skinny Jeans with rips on the knees, and Red Low Top All-Star Chuck Taylor Converse. For her make-up, her currently Hazel/Gold eyes were surrounded by Black Eye Liner, Black Mascara, and a thick layer of Black Eye Shadow. Her jewelry was simple,she had on Red Feather Earrings. Last, her hair was now straight and went down to the middle of her back, It started as a Dark Brown color but faded to a nice Golden Brown. She took one look at the pile of clothes on the bed and sighed, it seemed she realized Mia had nothing suitable to wear out shopping with us. After a while, Luna had come back from the bathroom and were all thinking of where Mia could get some clothes to borrow for today. Then, Mia had snapped her fingers.

''I know who I could borrow some clothes from for today, I may need to make them a little smaller for my size, but Ginny will definitely let me borrow some clothes.'' She told us.

The girls sighed in relief and Mia led them out of the room and over to the room Mia shared with Ginny. They came back about 5 minutes later with Ginny, each of them holding a pile of clothes.

They searched through the clothes before they talked it out a bit and pulled out one thing from each pile, making an amazing outfit that they all approve of.

Mia went into the bathroom and came out wearing A Tank Style Dress with a White Ponte' Bodice and a Coral Floral Chiffon Skirt, A Basic Women's Jean Jacket, Black Oxford Converse Chuck Taylors, and a Coral Fendi Hand Bag with an adjustable strap. Her makeup was simple, just some mascara and light, barely noticeable grey/brownish only jewelry she wore was a Sterling Silver David Yurman Cable Heart Pendant with a Black Onyx in the middle. Her hair was no longer in its messy ponytail like at dinner or a bushy mess before the girls fixed it last night, it now fell into Long Loose Deep Wave with a Layered Side and color was very nice and you could tell it was all natural, it went from A Two Tone Honey Blonde/Brown with Light Honey Blonde Tips.

Anyway, Mia thanked the girls and Ginny took all her clothes back over to her and Mia's room to get dressed herself. After finally getting everybody ready, we all went down to the dining room for breakfast with the rest of The Weasleys, Potters, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Albus Dumbledork. We sat down just like we did yesterday at dinner, Half the table divided depending on which sides they were on.

""So, Have you decided what you are going to be getting today at Diagon Alley?'' Molly Weasley demanded.

We all rolled our eyes at her and quickly finished our food before standing and walking over to the door of the room.

''We'll be going now and-'' I was interrupted by Noah.

"How do we know you guys won't run away?'' He questioned, suspiciously. I snorted.

''Potter, I'm pretty sure if we hadn't agreed to coming to Hogwash or whatever that school is called, we would've been out of here in a snap of our fingers. Or we could've left while you were all asleep.'' I told them, Haughtily.

Gen's P.O.V

After finding Hermione something to wear and eating breakfast, I was finally ready to go shopping and was not in the mood to argue with the people I dislike the most at the moment.

''Guys, can we just leave now, we won't run away, I just want to get this girl some clothes, so can we please leave.'' I snapped out, my slight temper bursting from me.

The harshness in my voice caused everybody except my friends and Dumbledork to flinch, but I didn't care I was ready to relive my friends presents from these People, and quickly. Recalling the way, I walked to the Living room and over to the fireplace. Grabbing the pot, I grabbed a handful of powder and threw it in, turning the fire a Bright green color, similar to my natural eye-color. I stepped in and shouted my destination.

''The Leaky Cauldron!'' In a flash, I was whizzing past different Hearths before finally coming out of the Fireplace that was placed inside of The Leaky Cauldron, a Famous Wizarding Pub.

10 minutes later, The entire gang and Mia and Ginny were behind me as we walked to Gringotts to collect some money for our shopping spree.

The gang and I walked up to Gringotts and they all stood to the side to let me handle the goblins. I walked over to a free teller I recognised as Griphook, Our Account Manager. I bowed with my right hand clenched over my heart as a sign of respect.

''Master Griphook, may your gold flow freely with the blood of your enemies.'' I told him in an even tone, not betraying any emotion.

He bowed back in the same position and looked at me a calculating gaze.

''And may your enemies bend to your free will.''

I grinned at him and motioned my friends over to me.

"How may Gringotts be of help to you, Miss Potter?'' Griphook asked.

"Well, we came to get some money from our vault.'' I told him.

He nodded and led us to the carts. We got in and he took us down to the gang and I's vault. It was combined with the money from my trust fund, Draco's trust fund, Luna's inheritance from her mother, and Neville's trust fund as well as money that we earned while we were at the academy.

I turned to Mia and Ginny with a serious look on my face.

''This is our vault, obviously any money we make goes here and once you are sworn into the group, you can freely put your money in as well.'' I explained to the two girls.

Even though I only met Ginny last night, I knew she was a good person to put in the group as well as several others. Only Luna knew about the spies I had at Hogwarts to give us info going on, in and out of the school, so if we were ever forced to go, we'd know what to expect. Mia filled up one pouch full of weird-looking but familiar coins known as Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons.

''Griphook, can we get one of the credit cards that work in both the wizarding world and the mundane world?'' I asked.

He nodded at me. ''Yes, i'll give it to you on the way out, is there any other business you'd like to do today?'' he asked me. I looked at my friends and they all shook their heads at me. I turned back to Griphook and answered his question.

''No, that is all, Griphook.'' I told him. He nodded and led us out of the vault and back to the carts.

''Mia, you know you didn't have to bring the pouch right?'' Luna asked Mia. Mia nodded.

''Yeah, but a back up is never bad, just incase we'll need it, what if a couple of the wizarding stores we got to don't accept or use the credit card?'' she asked us and I smiled.

Even though Mia had faked being my Noah's friend, she didn't lie about her smarts, she was possibly one of the smartest witches in her generation. She always had a plan and I admired that because even though my friends and I are smart, we don't really think of backup plans and stuff.

After we rode the carts back up above ground, we went back around to the front of Gringotts and Griphook led us back over to his empty post. Opening his top left hand drawer, he pulled out a Golden Card with a Black Strip on the back of it, I smiled at what the front said.

Το Runaway Παιδιά

It always made me smile hearing the name the Ragnok had given us during our first visit.


Flashback: About 2 years after arriving at the Academy: Gen's P.O.V

The others and I, including Sofia Volturi, the Transfiguration Professor and our Chaperone for our trip, walked into Gringotts Bank and went up to a empty but open goblin post.

''How may Gringotts help you?'' The goblin asked with a sneer on his face.

I arched an eyebrow. 'I know that goblins are very misunderstood magical creatures and that they despise most humans, but if they don't clean up their attitude, it's no wonder us magicals are so mean and untrusting of them.' I thought.

''Yes, we'd like to speak to the bank director, it's a very serious matter, involving a couple of vaults in the bank, Sir.'' Draco said.

The goblin looked surprised but nodded. He turned and yelled at another goblin who was passing by.

''Griphook, could you please take the costumers to the director, they have some business with him.'' The goblin told Griphook.

Griphook gave us a curious look and nodded.

''Of course, Hangtooth, i'll lead them to the director's office.'' Griphook replied, the motioned for us to follow him down a large hallway behind the desks/posts the goblin's stood at.

We were surprised because the hallway didn't look like the rest of the bank, it looked as though it was a dungeon, not really going with the classy and superior design of the Lobby.

He led us past many offices with plenty of pureblood family names,muggleborns, and squibs who'd decided to get their own vaults to fill with valuables and any money they were able to make if they lucky enough to get a job in Wizarding Britain.

Finally, we stopped at the end of the hallway at a large door, the only words it had were

ο Διευθυντής

Griphook, knocked on the door and waited for somebody to give him the okay.

"Enter'' a deep voice called quietly.

Griphook opened the door and led us into the office, that was as big as Luna and I's room back at the academy. The office looked like a classic office that you'd see in a high paying and popular business company like Google or Us Weekly Magazine.

The walls were a nice Beige or Champagne type of color and the furniture was a rich Dark Brown with designs that were hand crafted and elegant.

We all bowed towards the goblin that told us to enter. He had clear, slightly pale skin, black eyes, and a long, pointy nose. He wore gray slacks, a white dress shirt tucked into his pants, a gray blazer, and black dress shoes.

Sofia bowed towards the goblin and since we haven't really gone over goblin customs in class yet, we followed her lead.

The goblin and Griphook looked slightly shocked, I guess I could understand since I knew wizarding England's view on magical creatures especially goblins. I would also guess that they didn't get any respect even though they handle the wizards money.

''Lord Ragnok, they would like to speak to you about their vaults.'' Griphook told the director, now known as Ragnok.

Ragnok motioned for us to sit in the chairs in front of his desk and motioned for Griphook to leave.

''Well, what is their something wrong with your vaults, what can I do to help you here at Gringotts?'' Ragnok asked, coughing a little.

Luna smiled at the goblin, it was well-known in our group that Luna was ⅙ Faye and that was just enough to get some slight Seer abilities as well as some ability called Aura Sight. Her Father had the same ability, people thought him to be crazy because he named some of the creatures and entities that he had seen.

''Well, these younglings would like to combine all of their vaults into one big one so they can share the money.'' Sofia explained to him in a respectful, even tone. Ragnok stared at us and nodded after a second to think before answering.

''That would be acceptable, may I ask your names so I can find your vault numbers?'' He asked, politely.

''I'm Draco Malfoy, the girl with the silver-blonde hair is Luna Lovegood, The brunette haired girl is Genesis Potter, and the brown-haired boy is Neville Longbottom.'' Draco answered.

Ragnok looked shocked. ''You are the missing heirs and heiresses to the Potter, Malfoy, Black, Longbottom, and Lovegood clans.'' He said.

We all smirked at that. It made us feel smug that even the goblins remember us after this long because it seems unlikely that any of our parents/guardians would put out an ad in the paper concerning us and our running away scandal.

''Yes, we are, sir. We were wondering if we could do combine our vaults because in a week or so, we are supposed to be spending the holiday in France, and we needed to have our financial business in order.'' Neville explained.

Ragnok nodded, gaining his composure back after his little bout of shock.

''Yes, well, I'll combine the vaults and give you all your own pouches, which connect to your vault, so you can take money out without having to go all the way down to the vault as well as using a goblin protection spells to make sure that the pouches can't be stolen, lost, or destroyed under any circumstances.'' He told us.

I nodded. That sounds like a good deal.

''That sounds good, how much will they cost?'' Luna asks, interested.

''They will be 5 gallons per vault(s) combined in with the larger vault you wish to use, but the pouches are free to our clients as long as they already have a vault, it doesn't really matter if it's a family vault, a personal vault, or a trust fund vault.'' He told us.

I looked over to the others and they nodded at me, even Sofia. I turned back to Ragnok and nodded.

''We'll take your deal, sir'' I told him.

''Before you go, what would you like to name your vault?'' he asked.

''How does The Dragon Mates, sound?'' Draco asked, pointing to himself.

Luna and I giggled at him.

''Draco, we are not naming the vault after you, we need something that refers to all of us, so we don't feel left out.'' I told him.

After about 5 minutes of throwing out ridiculous names, Ragnok cleared his throat, grabbing our attention.

''If I may, I would like to suggest Το The Runaway Παιδιά(1)'' Ragnok said.

After a couple seconds, Sofia translated what he said for us.

''He said The Runaway Children in Greek'' She told us.

I looked at my friends and they looked as though they were thinking hard about it, then Luna nodded, followed by Draco, then Neville. I turned back to Ragnok with a grin.

''That's Perfect, from now on we'll be known as Το The Runaway Παιδιά'' I cheered.

Once that was done with, Ragnok led us out of of his office and to the front doors of the bank, much to the shock of the goblins and magicals around us.

Neville put his hand down in between all of us and said ''Το The Runaway Παιδιά.'' We all smiled and put our hands on top of his and said it again in a whisper as to not bring more attention to ourselves.

''Το The Runaway Παιδιά''

End of Flashback


Gringotts Bank, Front room, Gen's P.O.V

After that Griphook was named as our account manager and our vaults were filled to the brim. Now that we got our card, we bid Griphook goodbye and we started to shop.

''Mia, can you hand Draco the list for school supplies and give him the pouch of money, He'll get everything we need, while we go get our uniforms and stuff.'' I told her. She nodded and pulled a folded piece of parchment from her bag and gave it to Drake.

I wrinkled my nose. Nobody uses Parchment these days except for Magical England, they are so disgustingly prejudice against Mundanes, it's not even funny.

''Draco before you go, don't get any Parchment, Quills, or anything like that, just get the books and potions kits and meet us at Madam Malkin's.'' I told him.

Draco nodded before setting off towards the bookstore, Flourish & Blotts.

Mia led the rest of us to Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions and as we walked in we saw Purple walls and racks of Robes for both Men and Women and Children in all sorts of designs.

There were some nice things but they weren't really something I could wear. As I walked around and browsed for a little bit, I noticed that a lot of the dress robes were all passed knee length, even the women ones. While I have nothing against knee-length or ankle-length dresses or skirts or robes of any sort, the wizarding women must know how to show off their bodies, or at least their legs.

With a little disappointed sigh, I went over to Madam Malkin and asked her about the hogwarts uniform.

''Hello Ma'am, I'm transferring to Hogwarts this year with a couple of my friends and we would like to get fitted for our uniform.'' I told her in a polite voice and a sweet smile.

Madam Malkin, a lady that was in her late thirties with Long Black Hair and Bright Blue Eyes with specks of Gray. She smiled warmly and nodded before pulling me up to stand on stool.

After about 15 minutes of fitting my uniform, Which consisted of a Gray Skirt, a White Blouse, a Black Tie, a Gray Sweater(sleeveless and with Long sleeves) Knee Socks, and Plain Mary-Janes Flats. I noticed the skirt and the top were outdated possibly from somewhere between the 40's and 70's.

''Madam, I was wondering if some suggestions could be made to the uniform for myself?'' I asked. While Madam Malkin looked a little shocked, I could guess she either didn't get that request a lot or at all.

''Sure, What would you like sweetheart?'' She asked.

I turned in the mirror and looked at myself from all angles before turning back to the women.

''Could you shorten the skirt a couple inches below the thigh and make it slightly tighter. For the top, I think I could find a replacement for it in the Mundane World. The tie, shoes, and socks as well. The Sweaters though, can you make them tighter, so they can show off my figure a little bit more?'' I suggested to her.

She nodded and as I repeated every detail for the things I wanted back from her, one by one, with the wave of her wand, I got the cutest Gray Mini-Skirt that was an Inch or two below my thigh, The sweaters felt tight enough to be a second skin and showed off my amazing figure.

I know I might sound a little slutty or something but I lived by the saying of Professor Sofia and Valentina.

If You've Got It, Flaunt It!

It's a very good saying and it shows in my clothing, While a bit Short and Tight, It's also amazing and expresses my personality as well as my feelings/mood.

I smiled at Madam Malkin and shook her hand. ''Ma'am, How much do I owe you for all my Skirts and Sweaters?'' I asked

She grinned and when we walked over to the magical register, which was filled with Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts, she checked how much my stuff costed.

''About 10 Galleons but since you're so polite, unlike some other kids your age, I'll give you a discount, so you'll only have to pay half price.'' She told me.

I thought it over in my head, every Galleon in the Wizarding World was 20 in the Mundane World, While Sickles were 10, Knuts were 5£.

So, when converted my purchases would cost about 100in the mundane world. 'Man were these some expensive skirts and sweaters!' I thought.


Draco's P.O.V

I walked away after Gen gave me the information on our school supplies, I decided to head off and get the books first, so I looked at the reading list.


Books:

The Standard Book Of Spells (Grade 4) By: Miranda Goshawk

The Dark Forces: A Guide To Self-Protection By: Stephen White

Intermediate Transfiguration II By: Emeric Switch

Magical Drafts and Potions IV By: Arsenius Jigger

Fantastic Beasts and How To Take Care Of Them By: Newt Scamander

One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi IV By: Phyllida Spore

Runic From A to Z By: Alexander Vike

How To Make and Use Wards By: Celeste Protego

Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against the Dark Arts Volume 1-3 By: Druella Rosier


With those books in mind as I got to Flourish & Blotts, I instantly began to look, grabbing about 5 copies of each book. After getting the books, I looked at the next items on the list.


Students Will Require:

Dress Robes (Only For Special Occasions)(Will Include All Holidays)

A Masquerade Mask (Only For Special Occasions)

A Potions Kit


Thinking we could get the first two items later, so I went to Slug & Jiggers Apothecary. Once I got there, I got a few looks from the females but I ignored them. I only had eyes for Luna. I bought 7 Potion Kits. The 2 extra were for the twins, Fred and George, who also needed a potions kit.

Once I was done with that, I pulled out my phone and checked the time. It was about 1 in the afternoon. I was a little shocked I had spent about 2 hours getting those few school supplies, despite the items in question being in large quantities.

I shrunk the items so they all fit into one bag before heading to Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions, to meet up with the others like planned. When I got there, I saw Luna and Mia getting there Uniforms and Gen sitting down waiting for them with Neville, both already have their uniforms.

I walked over to them and sat down next to Gen.

''Hey, Neville did you get my uniform for me?'' I asked. He nodded at me and I grinned.

While the girls, however much I love them and their flaws, they were kinda stuck-up and snooty, especially when it came to clothes but that should be expected since they possibly have 2 closets, so that if put together make the largest closet in the world, bigger that a mall food court.

''So, Draco got our books and potion kits and the only other things we need on the list are Dress Robes and one of those Masquerade ball masks.'' Luna said, taking the list from my hand.

"Dress Robes!, If they think any fashion respecting person would wear those, they are delusional" Gen exclaimed. She and Luna shared a look before laughing.

"That's funny, I think only Wizarding Europe wears robes anymore, it's severely disappointing how far behind in culture it is, all the other countries have already found ways to make electronics work with magic.'' Neville said, laughing loudly.

That earned him and the girls some dirty looks. When Luna and Mia finished getting their stuff and the twins departed. We decided to finally go to Mundane London to get Mia's new wardrobe.

We went to all sorts of places like Hot Topic, Journeys, Claire's, Victoria's Secrets, Harrods, K-mart, Walmart, JCpenney, Fortnum & Mason, Harvey Nichols, Liberty of London, Topshop, Marks & Spencer Flagship Store, and all sorts of other places for all types of clothes.

Punk, Nerdy, Flirty, Casual, Sporty, Formal, Girly, Boho, Funky, Edgy, and Glamorous. Even as we went through the stores─Mia, Neville, and I had fun, despite all the different types of clothes, Mia was never forced to get anything, she loved every single item of clothes she bought.

Luna offered to help pick out clothes with Ginny, but she declined, she was perfectly happy with her wardrobe and didn't need anything. About 3 hours and 10,500 later, it was around 4 in the afternoon, and we were all exhausted and sat down at a restaurant that sold Fish and French Fries(Chips for those who use that word instead of Fries, I'm american so I don't really use most of the same words as you do, If you want I can try to find the meanings of some of the words you use over the pond and I'll translate at the end of the chapter.)

Then I remembered something that we didn't get a chance to buy while we were shopping for clothes.

"You guys do realize none of us bought anything to replace the dress robes for the parties we'll be having at Hogwarts!'' I exclaimed. The girls groaned and Gen glared weakly at me.

"For the first time in my life, shopping has made me extremely tired, we can just get some amazing and gorgeous clothes later in the year.'' She said. After eating our food, we all grabbed an equal portion of Mia's bags and took a taxi back to The Leaky Cauldron. When we got there, we ignored all the looks and went over to the Fireplace and Floo'd back to Potter Manor to see The Potters, Lupin, Black and The Weasley Parents, standing there and waiting for us.

''Do you know how long it's been since you've left, Ginny I thought these Hoodlums and Scarlet Women were going to kidnap you. I've been Worried Sic─" Molly Weasley Screeched as though she was a banshee and getting fed up, Luna did something amazing. She had a haughty look on her face as she slapped the banshee in the face, making her head snap to the right.

''Will you get a hold of yourself, woman?'' She said, a scowl on her face. "Your children are perfectly safe, if any of us wanted to hurt them, we'd have done it while everybody was asleep, but we didn't so suck it up and stop being such a frickin' headless chicken.'' She said before turning and going back upstairs to the room. The rest of the group and I gave each other a look, then as one we began to laugh as we followed Luna up the stairs to help Mia unpack her new stuff.

Once we finished helping Mia, we all came down and sat at the table with the rest of the Potters and Weasleys (Fred, Molly, Arthur, George, Percy, and Ron). We all went to the living room and I was talking to Fred & George about the pranks they pulled on people at Hogwarts and giving them tips.

I finished my conversation with the twins before grabbing Neville, Mia, and Ginny and taking them upstairs to our room.

Drake and Luna were already asleep and I couldn't help but take a picture of them together. I turned back towards Mia and Ginny, while Neville went to change in private.

"So, Mia, Ginny, I have an important question.'' I told them.

They nodded and I cleared my throat before asking.

"What's the 411 on the boys at Hogwarts, we need to get Mia a guy?'' I asked, teasingly. They laughed and we made small talk until Neville came out of the bathroom and the girls left. I changed into my pajamas and and laid down with Neville and fell asleep almost instantly. Shopping is a tiring hobby, despite what those girls that think shopping is boring.


Hey Guys!

It's Emi Here,

R & R, pm me or review, give me OCs, Ideas to use, songs, oh and i'll be putting up a poll for who Hermione should end up with and where the gang should be in terms of houses at hogwarts.

Now this is the point i need help for. I have most of the chapter written out, I just need a little bit more. I'm stuck on the sorting and my dialogue sucks for this chapter but I don't know how to make the words flow together, without making the story seemed rushed or the characters seem dumb and hotheaded and weird.
