As it so happens, the first store they went into was Flourish and Blotts. Harry and Evelyn looked around and were very excited. There were so many books! They split up and grabbed any book they thought was interesting. Evelyn looked at a book called Introduction to All Things Magic.

'That's ironic…' she thought. As she picked up the book, she noticed another book with the title Harry Potter and the Fall of the Dark Lord. Shrugging she decided to see why people seemed to praise him. As she walked back to Harry, she ran into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry!" she stated. The boy looked at her with annoyance. She couldn't help but notice that he had the prettiest blue-grey eyes. She started to feel self-conscious about her looks.

"Watch were your going, stupid mudblood!" he snarled while fixing his platinum blond hair.

Evelyn blinked at him. Nope, he is a stupid arse. Her anger flared. "Hey! Who are you calling a mudblood you arrogant prick!" she shaped. He just blinked at her, looking shocked. "W-who do you think your talking to!? I'm am Draco Malfoy! Heir to the Malfoy family! Obviously you wouldn't know a pureblood like me!" he huffed out. 'How dare she question me!' Thankfully, before she could give him a piece of her mind Harry showed up. "Hey Eve I finished look- Oh hello. Who are you?" he asked politely. Draco looked beyond furious.

"Listen you stupid mudbloods-"

"Half-bloods"

Draco blinked. How DARE this boy interrupt him! "Oh ya? What's your last name?" he asked, doubting their claim of being half-bloods. Evelyn looked at Harry and smirked. Harry gave her an amused look before looking at Draco. "I'm Harry Potter, and this is my sister, Evelyn Simonet-Potter" he stated. Draco quickly moved to look at the boys forehead and saw the scar. "Oh…"

Evelyn laughed. "Not so tough are now are you, Malfoy!" she taunted. Her tone reminded Draco of himself and he growled. "You can't be a Potter! They only had one child!" Harry smirked at him. "Yes, but I blood adopted her. You have a problem with that?" he challenged. Draco shook his head. Harry grinned and swept past him towards the counter. "I would like to buy these books please." The man smiled. "Of course! That will be 10 Galleons please." he said kindly. As Harry payed, he noticed that Evelyn was staying as close to him as possible. As they left, he gave Draco a cold look. "Hmm… Not a very good first impression, Malfoy." and with that they left. Draco just watched them leave, looking dumbstruck.

When they got outside, Evelyn let it go. "That stupid, arrogant, son of a-"

"Evelyn!" scolded her mother. Evelyn looked at her sheepishly. "Sorry mum…" Harry saw another store called 'Magical Menagerie'. As he entered, he started hearing voices. He walked towards the back of the shop, with Evelyn close behind. "Can you hear that…?" she asked. Harry nodded and stopped next to a black box. The voice was muffled, but could be heard.

"Stupid human… Making me stay in a small box…" Harry took the box down and inside was a Boomslang Snake. It had black scales on the top of its body but the belly was a bright green. It looked up them and hissed when Harry was about to take it out. "Stupid human! Touch me and I'll kill you!" Evelyn snatched the box from Harry. "Don't you dare hurt my brother!"

The snake looked at them, stunned. "Evelyn calm down. I am sorry for frightening you," he apologized. "Do not apologize speaker hatchlings. I am sorry for acting as I did." They were able to tell that the snake was a female by her voice. "Would you like for us to take you away from this stuffy shop?" asked Harry.

The snake looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please! I also have a friend in another box over there." She hissed and looked towards a dark corner. Evelyn gave the box back to Harry and went to pick up the box. When she opened it she saw the most beautiful snake she has ever seen. It was a Blue Racer snake. It had dark blue-gray scales on top and became a lighter blue on its underside. She couldn't help but compare the light blue-gray scales to the eyes of the Malfoy earlier… She shook her head. "Hello. I'm Evelyn, and I would like to take you with me," she hissed.

"Hello…" the snake answered. The snake looked at her, as if seeing if she was worth it. Evelyn frowned. They weren't supposed to like being in contact with people… "Yes, I don't usually like people, but I feel a connection…" Evelyn smiled at her new friend. Both went up to Elizabeth who took a step back at the sight of snakes draped around her children. Yes, she did feel as if Harry was hers. Evelyn hissed at the snakes. "This is my- OUR mother. Please don't scare or attack her." Both nodded.

The shopkeeper looked at them as if they were crazy, but gave them everything needed to care for the snakes. They were very hard to sell, so if these kids wanted them, then they can have them! The three left the shop, and decided that it was time to go home. When they arrived, they ran upstairs and sat on Evelyn's bed. "What should we name you?" asked Harry. Both of snakes just shook their heads. They didn't care. Evelyn smiled. "I know! I'll name you Diablo!" Diablo hissed his approval. Harry, on the other hand, was having trouble deciding on a name. "How about… no… um… Monty? I'm sorry I'm bad at names!" he exclaimed. "I like that name, hatchling." said Monty, hissing her amusement. They fed their new snakes and made their way down stairs for dinner.

Draco was also going downstairs for dinner at that moment. His thoughts were on what transpired that day. "Oh my little Dragon, how was Daigon today?" questioned his mother. Draco looked up and smiled. "Nothing new mother…" he paused for a moment, contemplating whether to tell her or not. His father was at the Ministry, so he wouldn't get in trouble. "However, I met Harry Potter and his sister." He said, like it was an ordinary thing. His mother looked at him for a moment. "Oh… That's wonderful Dragon." She really had nothing to say to that. Draco resisted the urge to roll his eyes. First, he gets taunted by a mudblood, and now his mother is questioning his sanity. The just wasn't his day…
