Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight. *Closes eyes tightly and wishes really hard* Opens eyes and looks around. Stupid star must be broken cause I still don't own any part of Harry Potter

Chapter 4: Diagon Alley

"Draco!" Narcissa Malfoy sang as she barged into her son's room.

"Go. Away." Draco grumbled as he buried his head farther under his fluffy pillows. Narcissa glided across the room and drew back the curtains covering the windows. Sunlight filtered through and Draco groaned and pulled his blanket up over his head.

"Wake up Dragon." Narcissa said.

"It's too early!" Draco complained, making no attempt to get out from under his warm, comfortable covers. Narcissa pouted before smirking evilly. Drawing her wand silently she pointed it at her son.

"Get up my darling, dearest, lovely, intelligent, strong, handsome…" Narcissa went on and on waving her wand with each word.

"FINE!" Draco snapped as he sat up, now sporting long, wavy bright pink hair, electric yellow eyebrows, and very well detailed clown make-up. He glared coolly at his mother and she just smiled back.

"Hurry and get dressed. We're going to Diagon Alley to get your school supplies." She said before sweeping out of the room trying to stifle her laughter. Draco sighed and forced himself to leave his warm bed. He looked at it longingly before walking to his closet. He opened the doors and stepped in to look for an appropriate outfit. Draco decided to go with black skinny jeans, a dark green short-sleeved shirt, and a black belt with a silver dragon buckle. He also picked out some black combat boots before heading into his bathroom to take a shower. The lights instantly flickered on and his enchanted mirror gasped in horror.

"Oh. My. GOD! Honey what did you do to yourself?" The mirror exclaimed.

"What are you talking about you-"Draco turned around and let out the girliest shriek known to man and wizard kind. Draco stormed out of his room and stalked into the dining room where his parents were eating breakfast.

"Mother! What did you do to me?" Draco screamed in horror. His mother began to giggle and his father turned around and promptly spit out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk. Draco glared as his parents fell into laughing fits and waited impatiently for them to act their appropriate age.

"Mother!" Draco whined. "I can't go anywhere if you don't change me back!" Narcissa stood and, still giggling made her way over to her soon.

"Oh, lighten up Dragon. I would never let you walk around like this." She said as she waved her wand. Draco conjured a mirror to make sure he was back to normal and sighed in relief when he saw his usually stunningly sexy self.

"Now go change Draco. We have a lot to do today and it is best if we start now." Lucius said standing and walking to join his wife and son. Draco nodded and hurried off back to his room. Draco took a 30 minute shower, shortest of his life, and quickly changed. He walked hurriedly back to the dining room because a Malfoy never runs and all three Malfoys stepped up to the fireplace. Narcissa took a handful of floo powder and threw it into the fireplace.

"Diagon Alley." She said firmly and disappeared in a swirl of green flames. Draco stepped in behind her, threw his floo powder down and said in his drawling tone, "Diagon Alley." before vanishing. Lucius watched them go before heading to his study to do paperwork for the ministry.

At Diagon Alley Draco dragged his mother from store to store, sometimes to get supplies and sometimes just to look. Halfway through his school list Draco suddenly zoned out and began looking around absently. His mother didn't immediately notice his behavior and kept walking, Narcissa talking about the room she would decorate at the manner once Draco had found his mate.

"What colors do you think he would like? Maybe I can just make it Slytherin colors and if he turns out to be from a different house we can change them when he gets there. What do you think Draco? Draco?" Narcissa looked around at her son and saw his blank face.

"Draco! Draco have you been listening to anything I've been saying for the past hour?" Narcissa snapped as they left the Apothecary. She huffed in irritation when Draco just shook his head absently.

"He's here. I can feel him here." Draco murmured, hand pressed tightly to his chest as he looked around desperately for his mate.

"Draco we came here for school supplies! We did not come here just so you could go mate hunting." Narcissa reprimanded before pushing Draco into Flourish and Blotts.

"Now take this list and gather the necessary books." Draco sighed as he took the list. He walked up and down multiple rows of bookshelves occasionally pulling out a book. He was searching for the last one on the list when he felt it. Draco gasped and froze, eyes darting around the store as he searched urgently for his mate. He dropped his books as he began to push through the crowd, turning in a frantic circle as he tried to follow the pull to his submissive.

"Draco what are you doing? And where are your books?" Narcissa demanded as she caught hold of the desperate Veelas arm.

"He's here!" He breathed, staring up at his mother with wide, excited eyes. "So close. He's so close. Where are you my Emerald?" Draco muttered under his breath as he tried to pull away from his mother. A flash of black, unruly hair caught his attention and he whipped his head to the side to follow its progression. That head of black belonged to his mate. He knew it did.

"Found you!" He gasped. Draco snatched his arm from his mother's grasp and pushed his way through the crowd. His heart stopped when he realized his mate was heading towards the exit.

"NO! Emerald stop! Wait! Emerald please stop!" He screamed desperately. He finally made it through the mass of bodies and out of the store but the pull was gone.

"Dragon?" Narcissa asked softly as she came up beside her son.

"He's gone! I wasn't fast enough!" Draco moaned in despair. He had been so close to his mate! Literally feet away, only to lose him at the last second. 'Merlin! I never knew anyone could hurt this bad." He had seen his mate now and even though it was just a glimpse his heart would ache until he was next to his mate again. It was too much for the young Veela.

"I'm going home." He said before disapparating to the Manor. Narcissa sighed and headed back into the store and telling the shop keeper to wrap the books on the list and owl them to Malfoy manor. When she floo'd back to the Manor she was confronted with a bewildered Lucius comforting a sobbing Draco.

"He told me what happened." Lucius explained. Narcissa nodded.

"Don't cry Dragon. You may not have found him today but you will find him once you get back to Hogwarts. Everything will be fine." Lucius whispered to his son. Draco looked up at his father, gray eyes bright with tears. He wiped his face and nodded slowly.

"At school." He said softly and then nodded more enthusiastically.

"Yes, of course! I'll find him at school! And we'll get our own rooms, and eat all our meals together and share all the same classes, and go on brilliant dates in Hogsmeade and…" Draco went on listing all the activities he would do with his submissive, the anguish of just a second ago already forgot and the ache in his heart dulled as thoughts of his submissive filled his head. Narcissa and Lucius shared an amused look before turning their attention back to their son.
