Untouchable: Part 4

Chapter 2

Ron and I heard Harry's name, we walked out to the stairs,
Ron said" Harry? Did someone say Harry?"
Ginny said" Me, nosy. Is he up there with you?"
" Of course not. I'd think I know if my best friend was in my room, wouldn't I?"
I said" You are a bit dim, sometimes." Ron looked at me, a bit annoyed, but didn't say anything back.
Hermione said" Is that an owl, I heard?"
Ginny said" You haven't seen him, have you? Apparently, he's wandering about the house."
" Really?"
I heard Harry said" Really."
Mrs. Weasley said" Harry!" Ron and I ran down the stairs.

We got down there, Ginny was hugging Harry,
Hermione said" Harry." She hugged him, Ron hugged him,
Mrs. Weasley said" What a lovely surprise!" She hugged him," Why didn't you let us know you were coming?"
Harry said" I didn't know. Dumbledore."
" Oh, that man. But then, what would we do without him?" Ron wiped something off of Hermione's face,
He said" Got a bit of toothpaste." I walked to Harry, putting my arm around his shoulder. Hermione laughed, I smiled widely, then hugged Harry.

Harry said" So when did you get here?"
Hermione said" A few days ago."
I said" About two weeks ago."
" Though for a while, I wasn't sure I was coming."
Ron said" Mum sort of lost it last week. Said Ginny and I had no business going back to Hogwarts. That it's too dangerous."
Harry said" Oh, come on."
Hermione said" She's not alone. Even my parents, and they're muggles, know something bad's happening."
Ron said" Anyway, dad stepped in, told her she was being barmy and it took a few days, but she came around."
Harry said" But this is Hogwarts we're talking about. It's Dumbledore. What could be safer?"
Hermione said" There's been a lot of talk recently that Dumbledore's got a bit old."
" Rubbish. Well, he's only- What is he?"
Ron said" 150? Give or take a few years." We all laughed,
I said" 150? Come on, there's..." I saw Lenny pining over Hedwig," I hate that bird." They turned to look at them, Lenny was cleaning at Hedwig's feathers.
Hermione said" He fancies her."
" Hermione, don't you dare say such a disgusting thing." They laughed at me, I smiled," Lenny, Lenny, come'er." Lenny screeched at me, I fell back, staring at him, I growled at him." You... Fend for yourself then, who'll feed you when you starve?" Lenny flew over to me and pecked my ear," Ow! You oversized chicken..." He nipped at my cheek, I yelped," Go away!" He flew back to Hedwig, I slumped a little,
Harry said" I think Hedwig's playing hard to get." I looked at Harry, with shock,
" Don't you dare say such a thing, Harry! He's in love with her!" He laughed, and smiled at me," Bloody idiot."

The twins said" Step up. Step up."
Fred said" We've got fainting fancies."
George said" Nosebleed nougats."
" And just in time for school."
" Puking pastilles."

Harry and I walked up to a display,
Harry said" Peruvian instant darkness powder."
George said" A real money spinner, that one."
Fred said" Handy if you need to make a quick getaway." Harry caught the piece he tossed, I smiled.

Fred and George messed with Ron, before Ron turned to us,
He said" Come on, let's go."

We walked out of Fred and George's prank shop,
Hermione said" How are Fred and George doing it? Half the alley's closed down."
Ron said" Fred reckons people need a laugh these days."
Harry and I said" I reckon he's right."
Hermione said" Oh, no. Everyone got their wands from Ollivander's."

We walked into the shop, it was destroyed,
Ron said" Harry. Is it me, or do Draco and Mummy look like two people who don't want to be followed?" They walked down an alleyway,
I said" Definitely." I walked out and walked to the alleyway, my friends caught up to me.

We followed the Malfoy family down the alleyway, they went into a shop, Borgin and Burkes. We saw a light turn on, I smirked then climbed onto the roof, looking back at my friends.
I whispered" Come on, get up here."

We looked into the room, then a guy stepped in front of the window, we all ducked. Then the blinds were put down, bloody hell, damn.
