Fan Fiction ❯ The Unknown Riddle ❯ Diagon Alley ( Chapter 2 )

Draco looked down at Vivian. She was nevous without Nagini, with her.

 

"C'mon." he muttered, grabbing her wrist and pulling her through the crowd of Diagon Alley to Ollivander's.

 

There was so much to see. Looking around she saw a display of brooms where a lot of wizards and witches were crowded.

 

"Um, Mr. Malfoy?" she asked tentavley.

 

He stopped and turned "what?"

 

"Do you really fly on broomsticks?"

 

He raised an eyebrow and answered, "Mostly for sports."

 

"True." Draco was glaring past her. She turned her head and saw a man about the same age and height as Draco, only entirely different. He had unruly black hair and emerald eyes with a lightning bolt on his forehead.

 

"Potter." Draco spat.

 

"Malfoy." Harry replied.

 

Vivian was a bit confused, who was he? She shifted a bit uncomfortably as he turned his gaze on her. Draco felt her trembling.

 

"Potter we have things to do. If you have to say something, then do so." Malfoy's voice was like acid.

 

Vivian was biting on her lip, his grip tightened, but she didn't say anything. She had learned not to.

 

"By all means, don't let me stop you, like I did your father."

 

As their glare intensified, Potter said to Vivian. "My name's Harry Potter, remember it."

 

"Potter." Draco said, releasing Vivian and taking a step foreward. "You know I don't take well to threats."

 

Vivian sensed trouble. Big trouble. She slowly grabbed his sleeve and gently pulled. Draco glanced down at her, then glared back at Harry.

 

"Like I said I have other things to do instead of dilly-daddlying." with that he re-grabbed Vivian's wrist and turned.

 

"How's your father doing? Why don't you give him my regards."

 

Draco stopped. Vivian grabbed his sleeve again, she didn't meet his gaze at first but then looked up and told him, softly. "Ig-Ignore him."

 

He took a steady breath and started toward Ollivanders.

 

 

 

Draco sighed when they were outside Ollivander's. It seemed like hours before the old fool found Vivian a wand. It was eleven-inch hickory with dragon heart-string.

 

"Now what?" Vivian asked.

 

"Robes." he muttered leading her towards Madum Malkins.

 

They entered and a woman said, "I'll be with you in a second."

 

A while later the woman ushered Vivian away to get her measurements and to fit her. A little while she came back with a bundle in her arms. Draco took the bundle and told Maum Malkin." She needs 2 dress robes, 5 everyday robes, 2 winter, spring, fall, and summer robes, 3 house robes, 1 night robe, 2 evening and dining robes and extra, any she chooses."

 

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy. Do you wish to choose the colors?"

 

"No, let her choose, I'll be back a hour later."

 

"Yes, sir. Come on." Malkin said to Vivian, who had very wide eyes.

 

A hour later....

 

"You have everything." Draco said.

 

"Yes, I do." Vivian ansered, looking up at him, her arms full of bags."

 

"Then, let's get one more thing and get back." Draco said while taking some of the bundles from her.

 

"But, don't we need books an...." before she finished, Draco cut in.

 

"That's what mother was getting, all the supplies."

 

"Oh." Vivian uttered with downcast eyes. She followed him to the pet shop.

 

As sooon as they entered Vivian felt a familiar calmness. Draco and the shopkeeper started talking, but Vivian wasn't paying attention.

 

She walked over to a corner which held snakes. All kinds. She starred at them and slowly lowered her bags onto the ground.

 

Draco finished talking and said, "C'mon Vivian." he turned around and blinked. "Vivian?" he looked around and found her, talking to the snakes. He walked over to her.

 

Vivian heard someone approaching and looked up at Draco. She gave an embarassed smile.

 

Draco considered for a second, lookign at the snakes, he asked, "Do you want one?"

 

He watched her eyes widen and her mouth came open in an objective shape. Draco put a finger on her lips, silencing her.

 

"Do you want one or not?"

 

She nodded 'yes'.

 

Draco removed his finger and called the keeper over.

 

"We'll buy a snake, also."

 

"Sure. Which one?" the woman asked.

 

Vivian looked at them and approached a cage, opened the door and put her hand in.

 

"NO! DON'T!" The keeper shouted then blinked. "Huh? Amazing." she muttered.

 

Vivian had picked a male named Konten. He was a black snake with dark eyes. "How much?" Vivian asked as Konten slithered up her arm around her neck and rested there. He wasn't nearly as big as Nagini, but he was as long as both her arms together.

 

The woman just starred. "Free, you can have it for free. Now, how 'bout that owl?" she said walking to a different part of the store.

 

Vivian blinked, "Owl?"

 

Draco sighed and told her the rules and part of the history. "Now, just pick one." he was getting impatiant.

 

"Okay." and Vivian did, she picked a beautiful black one, a cage and food for both her animals.

 

Draco payed and helped her carry some bags and floo'ed back to the Mansion.
