here's today's post....
It was November the 1st when Harry, Ron, Hermione and Shaun were at WWW. The 4 of them were having their lunch together. It is weekly thing that they do because there are many times when Hermione is busy and they can’t meet or Ron needs to go to Hogsmeade and now Duff town as their new branch opened up there. It was after they had finished with their lunch in Gorge’s apartment that they went down to the store to see Malfoy and his friends flanking at his sides.
“what is he doing here?” hissed Ron under his breath as he saw Draco with a face which looked like he was having constipation.
“must have come to get an antidote for U-no-poo,” said Shaun half heartedly and Ron burst out laughing and Harry couldn’t keep himself from grinning like an idiot either. Malfoy looked them and scowled
“what’s your problem Weaslbe, looks like you are having an after effect of a product going wrong?” said Malfoy
“nothing Malfoy never mind come and get your U-no-poo antidote,” said Ron beckoning his arm towards the counter and shaking with laughter, this time Shaun couldn’t control himself and had to clutch the sides of the counter of Wonder Witch products to stand himself and Hermione herself couldn’t stop herself from giggling many people seemed to have heard the comment and there were ripples of laughter and giggling all over.
Malfoy was shaking with anger. Getting hit by disarm spell on head by one mudblood and then getting humiliated by another mudblood was not something Malfoy wanted to digest. The same girl was standing right next to Shaun and Shaun didn’t recognize.
“Mudblood,” he muttered and just then Shaun, Harry and Ron jumped with their wands out. As soon as the brown colored straight haired girl heard that she turned and looked at Malfoy and then saw Shaun with his wand out already. Catherine was there with her friends to get some 10 seconds pimple vanisher from the counter and just then her friend had made fun of something that made her giggle and it looked like she giggled on something that was said to Malfoy which she pretended that she didn’t hear but Malfoy thought she was giggling at him just like Hermione.
“take back your word,” threatened Ron
“why should I? A mudblood is a mudblood,” spat Malfoy and that was the end of it. Before Gorge could come between them there were 4 hexes shot at the same time and only one of them hit Malfoy, the disarming one from Harry. Malfoy was thrown out of the WWW store right on to the street of Diagon alley. Malfoy’s friends started out with their wands to but Gorge was quick enough for the two and threw them out of the store. But as soon as the wizards were out the duel sort of continued till the Law Enforcement official who happened to be there stopped them and took them back to the auror department to complain on breaking the rules of auror training.
Back in the store as soon as Shaun and the rest hit their hexes towards Malfoy Catherine Honeybourne the girl standing next Shaun shivered.
“its all because of me,” she thought
“I should have dealt with him then and there in the mess itself or else he wouldn’t have come here and insulted me,” she thought.
She saw the duel which went on and on until a Ministry official came by and stopped. Hermione was there at the door frame calling at the boys to stop but they didn’t listen to her. As the boys left after the official Catherine slowly walked towards the door and spoke, “um…Hermione,” and Hermione turned with a worried look on her face, “yes?”
“um…could you just pass on this message to um…Shaun that I have apologized to him about what happened here,” she said
“why do you want to apologize?” asked Hermione confused
“well…I think Malfoy insulted me because it looked like it didn’t go down well with him that I had disarmed him sometime back” Hermione looked all confused.
“where did this come from and who is this girl who is apologizing to Shaun?” she thought
“um…I will pass on the message to him,” she said and Catherine sighed and went back to the counter and left the shop after 5 minutes.
