Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my original characters and all right go to the master mind behind Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling.
I'd like to dedicate this chapter my friend Kateylen for being a true friend for the whole time I met her.
It was the day Willow, Violet, Callie and I were going to meet Hermione at Diagon Ally. It's been a week since Dad escaped from Azkaban and it was like he never left at all. Expect he did. Mum smiled more and laughed a lot more. Even Aunt Riley threaten everyone more with a smile on her face. Lily and James were staying in many of the guest rooms in the house and were cool other than asking a lot of questions and complains about Harry.
I get he's their son and all but honestly I'd rather talk about something else. James, Lily and Dad were going with us all. Dad was going as my pet names Snuffles, and James and Lily under a invisibility cloak. James has had it forever, but Harry had for the last two years. So I helped him get it back, he showed me how to pull it out of a magic compartment in the air out of Harry's trunk and I gladly did it if it annoyed Harry. I smiled at the thought.
"What are you all smiley for?" Violet asked. We were in the living room waiting on Callie. She wouldn't leave until she found her sketch book. She likes to sit at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and draw things that interest her. Wither its people or objects whatever.
"The idea of hitting someone with a baseball bat 20 times where they shouldn't exactly be hit." I said smiling evilly and laughed cruelly.
She eyed me and muttered, "You're weird." and moved to the couch at the other side of the room away from me. Willow laughed uncertainly. Then Callie came into the room clutching her book to her chest.
"Alright, now that everyone's here lets go." Mum said. Dad turned into a dog, Lily and James went under the invisibility cloak. I grabbed Mums arm with Callie and Willow and Violet took Aunt Riley's and we all arvoptrated. We landed in the ally next to Gringotts. I stumbled a little and I felt my stomach churn like I was going to throw up.
"I hate doing that." I groaned. Willow laughed.
"Come let's find everyone." Violet said. I followed them out of the Ally and into the crowd of busy witches and wizards with my 'dog' Snuffles next to me. I'm also going to guess Lily and James are following under the cloak.
We walked down the busy cobble streets looking for Hermione, Ron and to my dislike Harry. I was going to give up and get some ice cream with money my Mum gave me when a bushy haired girl wrapped her arms around me and almost knocked me over outside the shop.
"Sam I finally found you. " Hermione said and pulled back. I saw Ron arms crossed over his chest smirking a foot or two away. "It's so good to see you." I decide to ignore Ron and smiled at her.
"It's good to see you too how are you doing?" I asked. The girls came up next to us and smiled at her.
"I'm doing well. Have you found Harry?" She replied.
Willow laughed, "If she found Harry and you weren't there to referee Diagon Ally would already been blown up by now." I glared at her hardly. We all sat at a table outside the shop.
"Hey no hating the Goth girls because you know it's true and don't want to admit it." Violet said smiling to brightly for a girl dressed head to toe in purple and black along with Willow.
"You know what I said about hitting people with a baseball bat?" She nodded.
"Well your about to be one of them." I said smileing at her frown. 'Snuffles' barked liked laughter.
"Well let's find him." Ron said.
I frowned then and complained, "Do we have to?" They all nodded.
"Fine." I huffed and we looked back to the busy crowd and then like that there was the guy with messy black hair and green eyes that shone behind his glasses walking down the street with the lighting scar standing out on his forehead himself. I inwardly groaned. Snuffles started barking loudly.
"Harry! HARRY!" Ron, Hermione, and the girls yelled. He turned around. He smiled and came over and sat down. I noticed he was taller than the last I saw him.
"Finally!" said Ron grinning. "We went to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said you'd left, and we went to Flourish and Blotts, and Madam Malkin's and-"
"I got all my school stuff last week and how come you knew I was staying at the Leaky Cauldron?" Harry explained.
"Dad." said Ron simply. Harry then seemed to notice me and the girls.
"Hello Violet, Willow, Callie, Samantha. How was your summer?" He asked. When he said my name his smile lifted a little more but I didn't notice.
"Fine thanks." I said. So far so good and no death threats yet. I just jinxed it, great.
"Did you really blow up your Aunt, Harry?" Hermione asked in a very serious voice.
"Here we go." I mumbled and she shot me a look. I held up my hands.
"Yeah, Harry tell me about it did she start screaming? Do you have photos?" Willow questioned and was going to continue but Violet put a hand over her mouth.
"I didn't mean to," Harry said and Ron roared with laughter. "I just- lost control."
"But did you get pictures?" Willow demanded. Ron roared with more laughter while Harry shook his head no.
"It's not funny, Ron," Hermione said sharply. "Honestly, I'm amazed Harry wasn't expelled." Callie nodded in agreement.
"So am I. Forget expelled, I thought I was going to be arrested." Harry admitted. Willow snorted and I elbowed her. I don't why. He looked at Ron.
"Your dad doesn't know why Fudge let me off, does he?" Harry asked him. "Probably because it's you isn't it?" shrugged Ron still chuckling.
"Famous Harry Potter and all that," I rolled my eyes, "I'd hate to see what the Ministry do to me if I blew up an Aunt. Mind you, they'd have to dig me up first, because Mum would've killed me. Anyway, you can ask Dad yourself we're staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight too! So you can come to King's Cross with us tomorrow! Hermione's there as well!"
I looked at Hermione as she said beaming, "Mum and Dad dropped me off this morning with all my Hogwarts things."
"Excellent." Harry exclaimed happily. He then turned to me.
"Are you staying as well?" he asked.
"Nope." I said simply. I saw a flash of something in his eyes but in a flash it was gone. Then I felt an invisible force push to the side almost making me fall out of my seat. I glared at the invisible force.
"You just messed with the wrong Black girl." I muttered darkly, as 'Snuffles' barked at the air.
"What?" Harry, Hermione and Ron asked at the same time. Callie giggled.
"I was just saying I would have to ask my Mum but I'm sure she'd be fine with it and pick us up in the morning." I said still glaring at the invisible Aunt and Uncle I know.
"Okay. So, have you got all your new books and stuff?" Harry asked everyone.
"Look at this..." Ron then showed off his new wand. I listen as they all talked about books and stuff and made the occasional comment and then I heard Scabbers. I looked at the rat Ron was holding and 'Snuffles' started barking and growling at it.
"What's wrong with your dog if you even call it a dog, Black?" Ron asked holding Scabbers top his chest. I glared at him.
"What's wrong with your face?" I asked. He glared at me and I death glared back at him. Harry coughed and we turned to him. Well he's keeping his side of the promise, but at least I'm not fighting with him.
"There's a magical creature shop just over there. Ron you could see if they have anything for Scabbers, and Hermione can get her owl." He said. My glared loosened a bit and I nodded. We paid for ice cream and crossed the street to the shop. Callie had decided to stay at the Parlor. At the shop I noticed it was smelly and creature rattled in their cages a lot. The witch at the counter was busy so we all waited. Ron approached the counter after she wasn't busy.
"It's my rat," he told the witch. "He's been a bit off-color since I brought him back from Egypt." I was looking at a barn owl not caring about the stupid rat. She offered him rat tonic and then she suddenly yelled, "NO, CROOKSHANKS, NO!" We ran outside after Ron and Scabbers. It took us ten minutes to finally catch Scabbers.
"What was that?"
"It was either a very large cat or a very small tiger." Said Harry and I laughed a little.
"Where's Hermione?" asked Violet.
"Probably getting her owl-"So we headed back to the shop and as we got there Hermione walked out not holding an owl. If it was it was seriously deformed, but at last she had her arms tightly around an enormous ginger cat.
"You bought that monster?" asked Ron with his mouth hanging open.
"He's gorgeous, isn't he?" said Hermione glowing. The cat was purring tenderly in her arms.
"I'm more of a dog person." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Hermione, that thing nearly scalped me!" Ron exclaimed.
"He didn't mean to, did you, Crookshanks?" replied Hermione.
"I hate to break it to you but cats don't talk." Willow said and put a hand on Hermione's shoulder. Hermione shot her a look that she shots me often. After Hermione and Ron fought a little we headed to the Leaky Cauldron.
We found a man I was guessing was Mr. Weasley because of his hair at the bar reading the Daily Prophet.
"Harry!" he said smiling as he looked up. "How are you?"
"Fine, thanks." answered Harry. Hermione and Ron and him sat with the man. Mr. Weasley put the paper down and I saw my father on the cover and asked me and the girls "And I don't believe I know you?"
"I'm Willow Hendon this is Violet Lestrange, and Callie and Samantha Black." answered Willow. Mr. Weasley paled.
"Glad to meet you girls." He said and swallowed. I raised an eyebrow and then I remembered the picture in the paper.
"They still haven't caught him, then?" Harry asked Mr. Weasley and Hermione shot us a worried glance and I smiled at him.
"No. They've pulled us all out of our regular jobs at the Minstery to try and look for him, but so far no luck."
"Would we get a reward if we caught him?" asked Ron and they carried on talking about Dad and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I just started bursting out laughing.
"You think this is funny?" asked Harry and Ron. I just continued laughing. Mr. Weasley got up and left stating he had to use the loo. The girls shot warning looks.
"Such a pity don't you think your father picking dark magic over you." Ron whispered loudly to Harry. I had my wand out at him in less than a second and all laughter I had was gone in a flash.
"Ronald Weasley!" Hermione said outraged.
"Say it again I dare you." I said anger rating off me. Ron gulped. Then it seemed Harry lost his temper also and had his wand pointed at me. In turn the girls had their wands pointed at them. The pub went silent.
"Put the wand down Sam." Harry demanded.
"Take it back." I said venomously. Dad started growling at Ron. "No." Ron said and gulped.
"Samantha go outside and clam down, don't do anything stupid." Willow said and kept her wand pointed at Ron. I ignored her and kept looking at Ron hell unleashed in my gray eyes. Callie put a hand on my arm to calm me down but I pulled away from her roughly.
"Ronald Billus Weasley apologize right now!" Hermione, demand she was almost as mad as I am. Harry moved over a put his wand back in his pocket and placed a hand on my shoulder. I glanced at him surprised at the sudden contact. I looked at him and he grabbed my wand out of my hand and handed it to Callie. I just stared at him. I thought he was defending Ron.
"Come on let's get you out of here." He pulled me away from the bar. I moved out of his gripped and walked back to Ron and slapped him hard across the face. It left a bright read hand print on his face. I then walked past Harry and to the outside air.
