Everyone inside the Weasley house gathers around a fireplace while Mrs. Weasley begins to explain what floo powder is and how to use it.

"Ron will show you, go on Ron."

We watch as Ron picks up a handful of powder, "Diagon Alley," he says loud and clear before throwing it down then disappears. I laugh and smile while looking at it amazed.

"Me next," I say and grab a handful, "Diagon Alley."

Before i know it I am stumbling out of a hole in the wall and out onto the streets of Diagon Alley.

"I love magic," i laugh before watching Fred and George come out.

"Harry's said the wrong thing," Fred says and I look at him confused before George finishes, "he is in the darker parts of Diagon Alley. He said Diagonelly."

I roll my eyes and look around, "I'll try to find him, I know my way around. I read about here."

They nod and i start to walk off to try and look for my brother. I walk around the streets of Diagon Alley while trying to look for my dumb brother. As i am looking behind me I accidentally bump into someone and almost lose my balance. Before i fall they grab my arm.

"(Y/n)?"

I look up and smile as i realize who it is.

"Draco!"

I stand up straight and i hug him with a smile on my face. He looks different, not too much but he got taller and sort of handsome.

"Draco, I'm sorry i didn't write all break, this elf thing came to my house and took all of my letters and my Uncle would have killed my owl so she is with Pansy."

Draco nods with a smile. He stands up straight while dropping that smile. I look at him confused before I hear someone clear their throat. I turn around and see a tall man with long blonde hair.

"Miss Potter, is it?"

I nod, "yes sir, you must be Mr. Malfoy."

He puts his hand out for me to shake which i accept. He seems to be very focused on the scar that i got.

"Your scar, is legend. as of course is the wizard that gave it to you," he moves my hair and i look at him confused before I speak up, "Excuse me sir, but, Voldemort killed my parents, he is nothing more than a murderer."

"You must be very brave to mention his name. Draco and I must be going. We will see you around."

I nod and he starts to walk past me, "see you at school."

Draco turns and nods before walking with his father. I sigh and turn back as I hear Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I run over and hug Hermione before slapping Harry in the back of the head.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting."

Hermione grabs my hand and drags me into a store with the boys following behind us. I look around and see photographs of a man named Gilderoy Lockhart. I see a lot of people standing in a line until I see the Weasley's. Before I can ask who this man is, he comes out from somewhere and looks around while waving.

"Mum, fancies him."

Ms. Weasley turns and hits Ron lightly while i laugh.

"It can't be (Y/n) and Harry Potter."

I feel someone grab me and drag me over to the man. I groan and look around as he tells Harry and I to smile. I don't.

"All three of us are going to make the front page. Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment this is. When the young Potters stepped into Flourish and a lotta this morning to purchase my biography Magical Me, which is currently celebrating its 27th week atop the daily prophet..."

I get out of the man's grip and roll my eyes before marching up the stairs to look for some books that I will actually read and enjoy.

"I hate him," I hear someone whisper and I look behind me to see Draco again.

"Stalking me, Malfoy," I smile and see him turn to look at me.

He smiles and walks over, "in your dreams."

I roll my eyes, "I need to find a book and i definitely do not want Lockharts autobiography."

He nods and looks with me, "what about a book on parseltongue? I read it once and it is pretty cool."

I nod and hold the book close to me, "sounds fun," i stop talking as Lockhart says that Harry and I get a full set of his biographies for free "i'll use them for the fire."

Draco nods before looking down at a book in his hands then at something on the floor below us. I open the book then feel Draco hug me again. Draco hugging me?

"I'll see you at school."

Before i can hug back or even say anything, he leaves down the stairs. I shrug and look back down at the book.

"What else," i whisper and pick up a book on Polyjuice. I hear two people going at it then look down to see Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy talking about families. I walk down with the two books in my hands and walk over to my brother. Mr. Malfoy looks at me then at Mr. Weasley.

"See you at work. Ms. Potter," he nods at me then walks off. Why did he just single me out?

I nod back then watch him walk off with Draco. What an interaction.
