((anyway, I'll play Ron and Harry till someone else shows up.. ARE there any others besides just us two playing this?))
(Ron and Harry)
Ron lwas not, actually, looking at posters. He was looking at a book with moving pictures of quidditch instead. Not, as Harry thought, there was much difference. Oh, well. Ron turned when Harry tapped him on the shoulder. "What's going on, Harry?" he asked. "D'ya see this book? It's got all the best quidditch moves, and the plays that got points, and..." Harry shook his head. "C'mon, Ron, I'm hungry. Let's go find Hermione and then get some food. Haven't had good food all summer." He led the reluctant Ron away from the animated books and out the door. Looking around, it didn't take long to see the Flourish and Bots, and not much longer to reckon that Hermione was likely be in there. Towing the grumbling Ron, he pushed through the door. "Hush, Ron," said Harry, a touch irritably. "Hullo, Hermione. Have a good summer?" He gave a smile of welcome. "You hungry? We were about to eat."
"You mean YOU were about to eat," grumbled Ron, rubbing his neck where Harry had grabbed hold of his collar and pulled him there. " *I* was busy looking at-"
"So what are you reading?" interrupted Harry, bored for once with Quidditch. Ron stared at him sullenly, and then subsided. "Yea, hi, Hermoine," he said, and looked around the room for a bit.

Who said I was playing. Huh?(Joking.)
Draco Malfoy skimmed the crowd in Diagon Alley. Students and their parents buying school supplies. How dull.
Draco summoned his two flunkies (a.k.a Crabbe and Goyle), and went in seach of amusement. Perhaps a mudblood, or, better yet, Potter and his misfit friends to harass.

(Harry, Ron, and Hermione)
Harry snorted, but grinned at Hermione's brisk, precise mannor. Ron answered for him. "Well, what do you think?" he said, incredulously. "They've got new brooms, AND books that show every quidditch play and move ever made famous by-" Harry cut him off.
"It was VERY crowded," he admitted. "I didn't want to stay long, so I dragged Ron here so we can go get something to eat."
"Sure you did," muttered Ron in response to Harry's comment. "And nobody in their right minds walks away from that kind of book, much less drags someone from sommat..." He stuffed his hands in his pocket as Harry leveled him a look. "What?" he replied, his eyebrows going up huffily. Harry sighed and turned back to Hermione.
"You hungry?" Harry asked her. He didn't know how she could read encyclopedias of ANYTHING, but then, he figured, no one could really understood the way a girl's mind worked-much less a girl named Hermione. "Where would you like to eat?"
Now the notion of food cut into Ron's thoughts, momentarily taking precedence over his quidditch obsession. "Oh, say," he said, his face brightening. "I heard someone talkin' about some kind of stew-pie... sounded delicious! Know where'd that be at?" Harry looked at Ron, and then back at Hermione, then shrugged and rolled his eyes. Forget not understanding girls... sometimes he didn't understand Ron, either!

"Anywhere's fine with me.I've got all my shopping done,"she said."And maybe we could go back there when it clears out." She picked up her bags.Most of them were filled with books."We all going to your house tonight Ron?" she asked.

Ron lead the way this time, through the door and into the crowded alleyways, full of students. He called back over his shoulder, "Yea, you know how mum is. She's already planning everything and has all the gadgets going making stuff." He snorted, then smiled almost rapturously at the smell of food. "C'mon, this way!" he said, as he followed the scent.
"Uh... Ron?" said Harry, pausing in his tracks as something caught his eye. He cleared his voice, and said louder, "Ron!"
Ron turned to look back at Harry, and almost ran into Malfoy and his cohorts. He stumbled to a stop quickly. "Uh..." he said, his mind racing for words. Harry's mind was a bit faster.
"Guess we'll eat somewhere else, Ron. The food here isn't good enough if THEY're standing near it." He turned and started to lead Ron and Hermione away, Ron looking a bit disappointed at leaving the food behind.

Watching those two eat like pigs was nauseating. Malfoy turned his attention to three retreating figures. Looking back over at his "friends", seeing as weren't intending to leave anytime soon, the blond left them be and followed Potter and his friends out of the building.
Making sure they were out in the open, Malfoy put his hand in his pocket, ready to whip out his wand.
"Babysitting the Weasel and Mudblood, Potter?"

(Harry and Ron)
Harry ground his teeth as he caught what Malfoy had said to him. Ron did more than that- he spun to confront him, hands clenched into fists. Reaching quickly, he held onto Ron. "Hermione!" he hissed. "Help me out here! We can't fight here, in front of all these people!" Indeed, a great number of curious wizards and witches had paused in their shopping to stare at Harry and Malfoy, and the angry Ron. "Cut it out, Ron," Harry murmured in a low voice. "Can't you see WE'LL look bad if we start a fight here?" He motioned to the others watching, and looked pleadingly at Hermione, hoping the mudblood reference hadn't made her as mad as Ron was.

She stood crossed armed wishing she could throw Malfoy into a dark alley and turn him into a mouse.But she couldn't control her anger this time.She stepped forward,slapped Malfoy as hard as she could,then took Harry and Ron by the collar of the shirts and led them in front of her and away.

(Harry, Ron, Hermione)
Even Ron's temper faded and his face turned ashen as he saw Hermione, usually the most controlled of them, slap Malfoy. "Hermione!" hissed Harry, as Ron swallowed hard, "what did you just DO?"
"Duh?" gulped Ron in a high pitched, nervous voice. "She just slapped--"
"I KNOW!" replied Harry quickly, exasperated. "But I mean, WHY?" He stared at Hermione's tense face as in the background Ron explained that Hermione was obviously quite offended. Harry exhaled louded over Ron's explanation of the blatantly obvious.
"You DO know that you're going to be in loads of trouble for this," he said to her, seriously.
"Yea," said Ron, anxiously. "I didn't start it, though! They did!"
Harry looked frustrated and looked over his shoulder to see if they were out of sight of Malfoy yet. "I know, but was it a good idea to hit them? I mean, we get insults all the time, right? But its hurting someone that could get us in trouble!"
Ron snorted. "C'mon, Harry! It would take more'n a slap to hurt a Malfoy, even coward as he is!"
Harry rubbed at his scar, agitated. "Yes, I know," he said, getting tired of repeating the same phrase yet again. "But he'll be thinking about revenge, somehow. Hermione, you're going to have to be careful now." He took another look over his shoulder and sighed. It was a great start to the year... really.

"I'm not scared of him.And I don't need you telling me what to do.How will I get in trouble for it?I didn't use magic on him.And yes I was greatly offended.And as I wrote you before my Mum's in the hospital and I don't need that spineless jerk making it worse." she said."Don't blame me.And that should be the last time he'll ever call me a mudblood again."

Malfoy stood in shock for a minute, giving ample time for the trio to leave. He blinked a few times, and rubbed the stinging red mark where he had been slapped.
How dare that mudblood wench touch me?!
The boy quickly turned on his heel, back the way he came in embarrassment and rage. Passersby, not wanting to become his subject of displaced anger, avoided him completely.
She will pay dearly for the offense.

((OOC: princess Leonora, when you post can you put Hermione's name in? I have a TERRIBLE memory, and it makes it easier to remember that you're playing Hermione)
Harry sighed and threw up his hands, as Ron crossed his arms and looked at Harry pointed. "Bloody smooth, Harry," Ron said. "Now we can't eat at that place, Malfoy is going to make living at Hogworts a pain in the arse, and now Hermione is being... well... herself!"
Harry turned slowly. "Let's go back to the quidditch store," he mumbled. "Not so hungry now." Baffled at his friend's attitude change, Ron followed, and the two boys trudged back to the store.
