Hope everyone is enjoying these!

So far, yes.

                  Chapter Three: Alley

"We're up yours."

     By the time Professor Malfoy showed up again, things were
marginally better in the Dursley household.  It had been decided that
as Duncan hadn't turned out as Da had hoped, he and Mum would be
trying for a replacement.  It was technically against the law, but
there were plenty of ways around that.

Been reading Ender's Game again have we?

     "Fortunately," said Professor Malfoy, with a thin smile, "Harry
has set up a small trust fund for the boy's education."

Saw THAT coming. *shakes head as he imagines Harry's idea of a "small trust
fund"*

     "Did you write a book, Uncle Draco?"

     As Draco's face was so pale, it was easy to tell when darkness
crossed it.  "Yes.  It was short, and did not sell well.  Let us
never speak of it again."

Let me guess: "The Amazing Bouncing Ferret"?

     "I think you'll find," said Draco, "that girls are usually more
trouble than they're worth.  Harriet was telling me just the other
day that I should stop running into 'old friends' this way."

     "Who's Harriet?"

     Draco blinked.  "I said Harry.  I'm quite sure I did."

Hello then...!

     "Oh."  The girl was nearly out of sight now, only visible by the
red ribbon in her hair.

Nice in-joke :P

     Ollivander had returned, holding a slim box in his hand.  It
trembled as he took off the top and plucked out a wand.  "Ollivander
says try this one.  Cedar of Lebanon, strong and aromatic.  Made with
leviathan sinew, to resist breakage."

Branched out on his materials a bit, I see.

      Mrs. O'Shaughnessy had a look of wonder on her face.  "I *know*
you!"

      Draco puffed up a bit.

      "You're the lead singer for that toggle group our Morrigan
likes so much, what's it called again...?"

      The puffing was gone.

*SNRK*
