Chapter 7

Its been 5 months since Draco first began living in 12 Grimmauld Place and its been terribly boring as they never left the house in that whole time. Christmas was so near and yet he still didn't know what he ought to give Harry. He figured he'd need to go to Diagon Alley to buy Harry something but how was he going to do that? His father used to bring him there but he didn't even know if this house was connected to the floo network.

Harry entered their room as Draco was brooding over how to go to Diagon Alley. Draco's head jerked up even though he knew that it would only be Harry. Harry smiled at him and he smiled back but he still couldn't decide what to do. Draco was sick and tired of just sitting in the house and doing nothing. He could see the concerned look on Harry's face which tend to be there when Draco was wearing a worried look. Draco sighed. He needed to get to Diagon Alley but he didn't want to just go there alone either. He needed to do something!

"What's the matter?" Harry asked, unable to continue the silence.

"Wanna go to Diagon Alley with me?" Draco proposed without thinking.

"Um, but… okay." Harry replied, unsure. Draco was surprised that Harry agreed but couldn't feel any happier.

"You know how to go there?" Draco asked, cheerfully.

"Yeah, we could go there by floo, I guess."

Draco sat uneasily on his chair as they ate their lunch. He wanted to go to Diagon Alley already but he knew he needed to behave himself. He was also quite nervous as to what he would get Harry as he had limited money and he needed to save for his supplies for Hogwarts next year if he wanted to have money for Hogsmeade but then again he still couldn't go since he's just a first year…but still. Harry was Draco's best friend but he still didn't know the other boy enough to know what to give him. He knew Harry like flying and was interested in quidditch and that Harry wanted an owl but besides that… he didn't really know the guy so much. Draco was still unsure about Harry's favorite color because when he asked him Harry always said grey which baffled Draco as to why anyone's favorite color would be something as dull as grey.

Draco liked green, it's the color of the house he wanted to get into when he went to Hogwarts and…

"Draco?" Harry said breaking Draco's train of thought.

"Yeah?" Draco replied.

"You've been eating food from an empty bowl." Harry said with a tone Draco didn't understand but none the less Draco felt silly. He looked at his bowl and yes it was empty. He'd been so caught up in thinking about Harry's present that he managed to think that he was eating something when in truth he wasn't. That didn't matter anymore! He just wanted to go and buy the present already! Draco stood and went over to Harry holding his arm and dragging him to the fireplace.

"Let's just go now." Draco said impatiently.

"Ok, you go first." Harry replied. Draco threw the floo powder on the fireplace and as it turned green stepped inside and said "Diagon Alley".

Thanks for reading, everyone! Please kindly leave a review, it means so much. Also, I'd like to say that I'll be posting on a weekly basis after this chapter as I have a lot of schoolwork to accomplish. I do hope you still read it! =)
