Again with the sorry for not updating. Senior year is a hectic year. I should be able to update more often though because I have my own laptop and don't have to work around school as much. Anyway, here's chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Ashley. I just borrow them for my own sick amusement.

Chapter 7: Diagon Alley

The next morning Harry and Ron went down to breakfast by themselves. Ron had questioned about waking Ashley and Harry had shrugged it off. No sense in waking her, they could talk by themselves this way.

The boys sat down at the table and ordered something to eat. While they were waiting for their food they discussed what it was going to be like going to school in the past.

Harry shook his head, "Do we know anyone in Hogwarts this year?"

Ron looked thoughtful, "I think Bill and Charlie might be in school…"

"They are," said a voice from behind them. The boys jumped turning to see Ashley dresses and showered with a bag in one hand.

Harry blinked at her, "Where'd you come from?"

Ashley smiles, "From the potions supplies store, I figure I can start to make the potion since it has to brew for a month."

Ron just stares at her, "How long have you been up?"

Ashley smiles again, "About three hours, it'd do you boys some good to get up early if you want to beat a crowd in Diagon Alley."

Ron shook his head, "You're insane… you and everyone else out this early in the morning…"

Ashley laughed, "So now your mum's insane too?"

Ron jerked his head up and saw his mum walking in with younger versions of his older brothers.

Ashley smiled, "Hurry up and eat, we have to go get our books."

Harry blinked, "Books?"

Ashley rolled her eyes, "For the start of term silly." With that she bounded up the stairs to put away her bag.

Ron watched her go then turned to Harry, "What's with her?"

Tom, the caretaker, walked over with a smile, "Here's your order boys," he followed their eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about Ashley, a bottle of Dragon's Blood and you'll be giddy too."

Harry blinked, "Dragon's Blood? What's that?"

Ron paled, "It's not a real dragon's blood, is it?"

Tom shook his head, "It's a drink named after it's coloring. Instant perk up, you boys want some?"

The boys shook their heads and started to eat their breakfast.

About an hour later the boys found themselves being dragged down the street in order to get school supplies.

"This is stupid," Ron complained, "We're only going to be here for a month, why do we need to be students?"

Ashley rolled her eyes at him, "Because otherwise we'd have to explain why we weren't in any class but randomly at meals. That would go over well, 'we're from the future, don't worry though, we'll be going back to our own time soon'. That would be brilliant Ron."

Ron's ears turned red and Harry laughed a little.

Ron shot Harry a look, "I think I see a family resemblance."

Ashley smiled, "I should hope so."

Harry's smile disappeared just as fast as it had come, "So, why weren't you taken to our aunt and uncle's?"

Ashley's smile disappeared as well and she focused her attention on the path in front of her, "Because, I didn't need the protection of the blood oath."

Harry blinked at her in slight confusion, "But-"

"Voldermort never attacked me. He probably didn't even realize I was alive."

"So who raised you?" Ron asked curiously.

"Remus," Ashley replied quietly.

"You were raised by a werewolf? Isn't that a little dangerous?" Harry asked cautiously.

"A little," Ashley agreed, "You just have to know how to deal with it."

The three teens walked into Flourish and Blotts and headed toward the back. They started scanning the books before them, before they all found themselves frowning.

"Um… Harry…" Ron started quietly.

"I have no idea what books we need," Harry replied.

Ashley frowned, "Well… he said continue our schooling. So, we would need what sixth years need."

"Right…" Harry said, grabbing the Standard Book of Spells Grade Six.

Ashley and Ron each grabbed a copy as well before Ron turned to Harry, "Do you have any money on you?"

Harry reached back and felt his pockets before pulling out a couple of galleons, "Not a whole lot…"

Ashley waved her hand, "Don't worry, I went to Gringotts this morning. We have plenty to cover books."

The other two nodded and began scanning the other books. Eventually they found all the books they needed (with some help from the store owner) and walked back out into the early morning light.

"What should we do now?" Ron asked, shifting the books in his arms.

"We should probably drop these books off at the Leaky Cauldron. After that…" Harry trailed off.

"Well… we're three teens who have all of London at our disposal. I'm sure we'll think of something," Ashley said with a grin.

A/N: Ok, I have gone through all the previous chapters and reformatted them and corrected some errors along the way. Sorry this took so long, my life got more hectic, not less hectic. Go figure. Thanks to all who have stayed with me!
