Storms Ahead

|Chapter 133 : Diagon Alley|

"And thank you for the offer Ced but I think me and Blaise will handle him"

"Are you sure you'll be alright?"

"I'll be fine. Will you?"

"Of course I will, I'll see you in a couple of hours Lia"

"See you later Ced" I smiled as I stepped back and watched as he started walking the way he came as he turned around and offered a wave as I waved back with a light laugh as I watched him until he was out of sight as I turned around and came face to face with the two who had either a smirk or a smile on their face

"Well that's one way to scare the shit out of someone"

"Are you on about Zabini smiling or Zabini just looking at somebody?"

"Draco you're a prick"

"And you're not?"

"I don't think that's how I would've replied- anyway, where to first?" I said to Draco laughing before turning around as they walked on either side of me and we made our way down the packed street

"Robes?"

"Yeah, I'm good with that- Draco?"

"Just as long as we get what we need I'm happy" he said simply, a slightly bored look on his face as I let out a light laugh as Blaise held the door open for us and we slipped into the shop as somebody instantly came over

"All Slytherin?" She asked as she looked at each of us as we nodded and she led us to the back of the shop

"We just so happen to have three stalls spare" she told us as I nodded with a smile while she disappeared and Madam Malkin came out with another two women as I gave her a smile

"Amelia I'll get you sorted, Veronica you can help Mr Malfoy and Stacey you can go with Mr Zabini" she told the two as I was led to the middle stall as the curtain was drawn and I stepped up onto the raised platform

"I always feel so special up here" I said to her with a light laugh as she smiled at me and I slipped my cloak off before she handed me a robe and I pulled it on as she started to sort it before pinning parts up and together as I glanced around and tried to keep down another laugh

"I never realised we could see each other's heads" I said to Blaise and Draco laughing as I turned between them while I raised my arms and they sent amused looks my way

"It's weird how you both do that"

"What?"

"Give the same look at the same time" I said to them laughing as I felt a prick at my leg and I flinched slightly before letting out a laugh

"Sorry about that"

"No problem at all, didn't even hurt"

"Yet you flinched"

"Blaise, shut up"

"I don't think I will"

"Then I'll tell everybody here about how you started panicking about being sent to Azkaban for being an accessory to murder" I stated smugly with a smirk as he stared at me as Stacey's head appeared

"Wait, what?"

"Oh it was hilarious- I ran around for Lockhart with a knife and threatened to slice his throat open" I said with a light laugh as a couple of snorts could be heard

"That was you?"

"Yeah, one of the proudest moments of my life so far"

"Did you get a detention?" Veronica asked after her head appeared beside me and I nodded laughing

"Yeah, I was in the trophy room-"

"We"

"Fine- we were in the trophy room-"

"I remember that- was that when you came into the common room complaining about your arms being sore then you refused to go to practice but got pushed out anyway?" Draco asked as I turned my head towards him and nodded with a grin as I looked in the mirror in front of me as my jaw dropped

"What?"

"Oh my god"

"No, that's not an answer-"

"They have hoods! They actually have hoods!" I said excitedly as I tugged it up with a grin as I looked at myself in the mirror before turning between them as they gave me an amused look

"Oh my god I look like a dementor!"

"Jesus Christ Lia"

"What?! I do!" I said to Blaise laughing as the hood was tugged down and Madam Malkin looked at me with a smile

"That's you all done" she told me as I slipped the robe off and she walked away as I walked out from the stall, the other two coming out a couple of minutes later as we walked towards where our robes were being packed into bags and I pulled my money bag out

"Merlin, how much did you take out of Gringotts?"

"Well, we're finally getting to go to Hogsmeade this year so I thought I'd take out a little extra-"

"That's much more than a little-"

"Oh shush you probably have about the same" I said to Draco laughing as our bags were handed to us, realising that they were a lot heavier than usual as we all paid before leaving and I waved to the three over my shoulder while Blaise turned to me

"Why and how are you so friendly with them?"

"Because I've known them for a few years now, you get to know a lot of people when one of your parents just so happens to be an international quidditch player- Oh! Once we're done I need to go to Borgin and Burke's" I told them as they gave me confused looks

"I need to get something"

"Well we figured that- where are we going now?"

"I don't have a clue"
