DIAGON ALLEY
The group of wizards and witches started by going to Flourish & Blotts. Hermione was very excited and squealed in delight when she walked into the store. Harry walked towards the back looking for a book on Quidditch. He scanned the shelves and saw a book he found interesting. Harry reached up for the book and grabbed it. He started to read it while walking back to the rest of the group. As he was walking, he ran into someone knocking their books to the floor. "Oh! I'm so sorry," Harry cried not looking up. He bent down to pick up the books. When he stood up, he saw Draco Malfoy standing there. Harry's eyes widened in shock. "Hello Pottah. See you've got all your friends with you," Draco sneered. Harry smirked, "At least all of my friends are alive." Draco's eyes filled with anger. "Crabbe and Goyle were never my friends anyway. More like cronies," he replied angrily. Harry replied, "Always knew it" before handing Malfoy his books and walking off to find his friends.

Harry walked up to his friends with a smirk on his face. "Guess who I just ran into?" he asked. They all looked at him questioning. "Malfoy!" he laughed. "He was just talking about how his friends, who apparently were never actually his friends, are dead. It was a weird conversation." His friends looked at him. "Really?" asked Neville. Harry nodded. The others laughed before they continued to the check out. They paid and walked outside. "Where to next then?" asked Hermione. "Can we go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour?" asked Ron. "I'm starving!" Everyone agreed and they chatted while they ate their ice-creams. "Okay. Now that we're done can we go to Madam Malkin's?" Ginny asked. "Yeah. I don't think any of my uniforms from last year will fit now," said Neville. They all nodded in agreement and headed over.

The group walked into Madam Malkin's with Neville tripping over a small step at the door. He fell forward, with his arms flailing, straight onto the floor. Luna turned around as Neville fell and he dragged her down with him. Luna yelled and landed on top of Neville. "Umm guys, what are you doing?" asked Hermione who was oblivious to the situation. "I fell and Luna fell on top of me. It was an accident I swear," Neville said. "Sure. By accident," said Ron from behind Hermione. Luna and Neville looked at each other in confusion. Hermione, Ginny, Harry & Ron laughed knowing the other two had no idea what they were talking about. Harry helped the two up asking if they were okay. They both nodded and Neville placed a kiss on Luna's forehead. The group walked to the front desk and called for Madam Malkin. She emerged from the back with a smile on her face. "Ah! It's so good to see you!" she called. The groups smiled, they had become quite famous over the past couple months. "What can I do to help you?" Madam Malkin asked. Ginny stated what they were looking for and Madam Malkin told the boys to follow her first. She measured them and gave them new uniforms. She found it quite amusing that the boys were so big now. Then the girls got measured and uniforms fitted. Once they were all happy, they walked out the store, thanking Madam Malkin on the way out.

"Is that everything we need?" asked Ron. "Maybe just wands for the people who lost or broke theirs," Harry commented. He asked who needed wands and Ron, Ginny and Luna replied they did. The three walked into Ollivanders, which was now run by Garrick's grandson, and the others waited outside. "Psst, Potter!" called a voice down the road. Harry looked up and saw Malfoy. Draco pointed into a nearby alley, signalling for Harry to follow. Harry made an excuse to the others and walked towards the alley. Harry gripped his wand tight. He walked around the corner, ready for anything. To his surprise, Draco was just standing there. "What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry. Malfoy shrugged, "Just wanted to talk. I'm lonely." Harry's face must have said everything because Malfoy knew what he was thinking. "You're wondering why, aren't you?" Malfoy asked. Harry nodded. "Well, my cronies are dead and I have no friends now," Draco replied. Harry stood there rather uncomfortably. "Anyway, I was hoping we could be friends!" Draco finished. Harry's eyes widened in shock. "Uh, can I think about it?" Harry asked. Draco rolled his eyes, "I'm asking you to be my friend not on a date." Harry chuckled quietly. Harry suddenly heard his name being called. "I have to go. My friends are looking for me," Harry spat out and ran away.

"Where were you?" asked Hermione. Harry explained the situation and Ron looked disgusted. "Friends with that bloody idiot. I don't think so!" he yelled. Ron went on to insult Draco many more times before Hermione silenced him with her wand. "We're done now so let's go back to the Burrow," said Ginny. Everyone nodded and apparated back home.
