24. The End of Holidays
After Harry's hearing, the rest of the holidays seemed to blur past and the next thing we knew, it was time to go to Diagon Alley to collect school supplies. We students, Molly, Arthur and Kester were all using floo powder to the wizard street. When we arrived, Fred and George made a beeline to Mr Zonko's shop. Harry, Ron and Hermione headed to Honeydukes to stock up on sweets. So Ginny, Krista and I headed to the bookshop for school text books while the three adults went into the Three Broomsticks, so we would all meet up there. Ginny went to get her fourth year books and Krista and I looked at the Fifth year books.
"What ones do we need?" Krista asked. I looked at the slip of paper in my hands as it read out,
The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 5) by Miranda Goshawk
Defensive Magical Theory by Wilbert Slinkhard
We looked at the shelves and after a few moments we found the books and brought them. We then went into Potage's Cauldron Shop. I had to get a new brass cauldron as one time in potions, I was paired up with a reckless Ravenclaw girl, who put too much of wolfsbane into the potion and ended up with an exploded cauldron and an angry, messy me.
Thankfully I wasn't blamed but the girl lost house points and ended up with detention. After I got a new cauldron, I put my books in it. We then went into the Three Broomsticks and found the adults, but with Ginny and the Golden Trio. Us two sat down and ordered two Butterbeers.
After five minutes we heard the door open to reveal George and only him. He waved his hand at the bartender who nodded and when he sat down next to Krista, I asked him, "Where's Fred?"
George looked over and replied, "Don't know. He told me that he had to get something important and told me to go here and that he'll catch up." I nodded my thanks and when he started a convocation with Krista, I wondered what Fred was up to.
I didn't have to wait long as after ten or so minutes, he finally entered. "Hey." I said to him as he sat next to me and wrapped his arm around me, "What was the special errand?"
Fred kissed the side of my head and replied, "Oh, something for Charlie. Sent me an owl last night asking to get some things." I nodded in reply, strange feeling that Charlie sent no owl at all.
The next day we headed to King's Cross. This time Moody, Tonks and Sirius in his animagus form, a black dog. When we reached the platform, I hugged Tonks, Moody gave me a pat and hugged Sirius who licked my cheek. I giggled and stepped on the train, walking into the compartment that The Twins and Krista had already got. The train took off and we settled down and waited as the long journey started out.
An hour in and I headed to the bathroom to get ready in my uniform. Once I had changed, I opened to door to bump into someone. "Crap! Sorry, I didn't see where I was going." I stated.
The boy chuckled and gave me my clothes. "It's cool. Have you been here from first year?"
I shook my head, "Nope. Started last year. This technically is my second year."
The boy smiled and then held out his hand, "I'm Dorian. Dorian Dragonwood."
I smiled and moved my clothes in one arm to shake his hand. "Scylla. Scylla Gryffindor."
Dorian's eyes grew wide. "Seriously?"
"Yeah. Found out last year. The whole school knows." I replied, starting to walk to my compartment.
Dorian walked beside me and said, "Oh yeah. Heard all the talking, but I never knew it was you."
I chuckled and asked, "So...what house are you in?"
He showed me his badge, decorated in black, silver and blue. "Good ol' Ravenclaw. Don't have to tell me what house you're in Miss Gryffindor." I chuckled soon realised I had reached my compartment.
"So...I know I have literally just met you, but, can I take you to Hogsmeade this weekend?" Dorian asked.
"I would, but, I have to tell you know, I have a boyfriend."
Dorian sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Damn it. Oh well, worth a shot. He's a lucky man...but, if it doesn't work out, the invite will always be open." I simply nodded and said goodbye and Dorian walked away. I watched him go and then walked into the compartment, sitting next to Fred and tried to forget the invite for the rest of the journey.
The train finally came to a stop and all the students disembarked. First Years followed Hagrid to the boats as the rest of the years walked to the castle. I grabbed my trunk and owl cage and said to Krista next to me, "Well, new year, new drama." She chuckled and we walked to the school, wondering what this year will be full of.
What was the special errand Fred got? Why won't he tell Scylla?
Dorian? What will happen there then?
Review on that please, I would love a good couple of guesses. But till I get some...till the next time lovelies!
