Draco was just entering Ollivander's when he spotted Pansy, Goyle, Kyle, and Dimitri. The only one who seemed to notice him I was Dimitri, but he acted like he hadn't.
"Draco Malfoy, what brings you by?" Ollivander was placing wand boxes on the shelves.
"It's about Amethyst Abbott." Draco stepped forward and placed the wand material on the counter. "Would it be possible for you to make her wand using these?"
"Hmm… let me take a look." Ollivander approached the counter and noticed four objects. "All?"
"If possible. The English Oak came from a tree in Godric's Hollow, the Cedar from the grounds of Hogwarts, the whiskers from her kneazle, and the phoenix tail feather from her phoenix." Draco explained.
"Two woods and two cores." Ollivander was silent for a while as he examined each item. "I don't normally work with kneazle whiskers but they would compliment the cedar." He fell silent again. "Majority would be English Oak and the main core would be the phoenix tail feather. Accenting with cedar and weaving the whiskers with the feather…" He was thinking out loud. "Yes, possible. I've never even attempted something like this before, but for her… never had a person come in so many times and leave empty handed. Yes, this should work." Ollivander looked up at Draco and smiled.
"Can you give me an estimate on how long it will take?" Draco asked hopeful.
"I should be able to complete it by Christmas. I will send word when it is finished and you can pick it up or I can send it to you at the Manor."
"I'll be at Hogwarts most of the time; you can reach me there." Draco smiled back and headed out.
"Draco!" He heard the whisper and looked around to see Dimitri motioning him over. He made his way and they ducked into Weasley's Wizard Wheezes to talk. "I don't have long. Pansy and Kyle are up to something. I'm not sure what exactly but it has something to do with Amethyst."
"What are you talking about?" Draco tensed.
"Pansy thinks you are under some sort of love spell or love potion. She wants Amethyst out of the way and Kyle wants you out of the way so they've decided to team up. I got Amethyst's letter but I haven't been alone long enough to reply. I can meet her at the Three Broomsticks Saturday at noon." Dimitri watched anger flicker through Draco's eyes. "I will stick with them and send word when I can. Amethyst is family."
"Keep me updated as you can and I will let Amethyst know about Saturday. Thank you." Draco said. "Be careful. Those two and Goyle cannot be trusted. But if you double cross Amethyst, you will answer to me." Draco squared his shoulders and fear flickered across Dimitri's face.
"You have my word." Dimitri said before weaving his way through the crowd of shoppers.
"Draco Malfoy, here again?" George Weasley approached him. Ron came up behind George.
"I thought you were at Hogwarts?" Ron asked. "How's Amethyst?"
"I had something I needed to do here. She's doing better, but she's had a lot of stuff thrown at her recently. So she's still processing some stuff." Draco answered. "You and Hermione coming for the Halloween Feast?"
"Yes. I've heard a few Hogwarts alumni were invited. Not sure who though. Harry and Ginny are already there. Harry wants to make sure everything is safe sand secure, especially since the Minister of Magic will be there." Ron explained. He could see utter confusion on George's face. George was largely unaware of the change in sentiment towards Draco.
"Spoke with Harry and Ginny yesterday." Draco thought for a moment. "I think Scorpius wants to ask Rose to the Feast but he hasn't said anything openly. Not to me anyways." He smirked at Ron's facial expression.
"She'll have the sense to say 'no'." Ron remarked.
"Yeah, I know. He is really trying to focus on preparing for the O.W.L.S though. I just wish my mother would stop trying to get information about my life through him." Draco huffed and shook his head.
"They've all been studying hard. Granted, Rose knows she would hear it from her mother otherwise." Ron glanced around the shop.
"I will let you two get back to your customers. I need to get back to the school soon anyways." They said their goodbyes and Draco headed back onto the street.
"Draco!" He heard her call, but pretended he didn't. "I know you hear me!" He kept walking. The last person he wanted to talk to was his mother. He ducked into a quiet corner and disapparated. He was now standing near the Shrieking Shack. He took a deep breath and headed back to Hogwarts.
