Percy looked around the bustling Alley trying to look for Draco and his parents. After a few minutes of searching it wasn't exactly hard to find a family of platinum blonde hair (save for Narcissa) using the most expensive robes money could buy and looking distastefully at pretty much everyone in the vicinity.

He and his father greeted them and Percy sent a small grin at Draco "my lord" Lucius muttered in hushed tones "Percy! you will not believe the new nimbus two thousand father gave me!" Draco boast "yes the same one I got from my father around two weeks ago" Percy retorted back with a smirk. Draco tried to hide his blush by scowling "Percy and I will look at the shops now" he told his parents "have you got your money Percy?" Narcissa a women who Percy practically considered a mother asked "of course" he says with a small smile holding up a pouch charmed to get galleons straight from his vault.

After promising to meet them at Olivander's they went over to Madam Malkin's to purchase their robes and extra clothes and cloaks. Half way through their shopping Draco nudge him and nodded somewhere to his right "look its bloody Harry Potter" he sneered with a scornful look. With the name being said Percy saw the famed black haired boy across the store walking with a giant man he knew to be the gatekeeper of Hogwarts. Harry Potter looked like a skinnier less muscular and shorter version of Percy himself. He did not look like the mighty wizard others portrait him to be.

"I can't believe this is the guy who is suppose to be said to vanquish your father" Draco remarked quietly "he look like he can't even vanquish a fly don't you think?" a girl's drawling voice cut in, a smirking Daphne Greengrass laden with shopping bags walking over to them.

Percy being the gentleman he was muttered a quick spell to shrink her bags which earned him a smile and a thanks from Daphne "did you saw his scar? bloody thing looks like a lightning bolt" she commented as she too watched Potter gape at the stores around him "let's just continue our shopping shall we?" Percy said smoothly as he walked over to the Magical Menagerie.

The shop was stuffed with cages filled with different types of animals. There was one aquarium filled with croaking toads, cages with cats and loud ravens and different types of other tropical birds. He strolled over to the aquariums with snakes who hissed at him as he came nearer.

-Peace mighty ssserpentss- Percy said in parseltounge, the language of snakes and the decedents of Salazar Slytherin. -whatss thiss? a sssspeaker? one hissed questioningly as other snakes came closer to examine him. Percy had been a parseltounge ever since his father adopted him, and yes he indeed knew that he was not really the dark lords biological son.

He observed the many snakes before he settled on a young small bush viper (mainly because its scales reminded him of a dragon) -whats ssshould i call you?- he hissed after purchasing his new companion -they call me Phobos- the snake hissed back, content as he wrapped around Percy's wrist. He met up with Draco and Daphne in the front of the shop, Draco had bought a large eagle owl he named Leo and Daphne bought a small black furred Kitten named Zoe. Sadly the girl soon had to leave and quickly said her goodbyes to find her parents. Percy and Draco went over to Ollivanders to finally purchase their wands.

They met up with their parents and the dark lord raised an eyebrow at the serpent around Percy's arm. "A snake?" His father questioned "yes, his name is Phobos" Percy answered him as he ran a finger down Phobo's scales "after the Greek God of fear I presume?" Tom mused "yup" said the boy with a small smirk before following the Malfoys into the wand shop.

They all waited for about a minute before an old man who must be the legendary Ollivander walked from behind a huge shelf "Malfoy yes I remember your wand and... Tom Riddle" he whispered the latter with a hint of fear and awe "yew, phoenix feather and 13 inches very powerful wand it was" he mumbled as Percy's adopted father looked at the old man uneasily.

"Draco you go first" the raven haired boy told his friend.

Draco step on to the platform and was measured from shoulder to shoulder, head to toe, shoulder to knee and even between the eyes wich annoyed the boy to no end. Then Ollivander started to give him different wands to test, snatching them away when the man thought it a bad match. This proccess took about 15 minutes more and it wasn't until the 30th try did Draco found his wand "Hawthorne, 10 inches with a unicorn hair core" the old man said giving the wand to Draco to try out.

Green and silver sparks sprouted from the tip to the blonde's astonishment "bravo!" Ollivander exclaimed as Draco's parents looked on proudly and Tom and Percy clapped politely "look at that! did you see that? Slytherin colors!" Draco's mother gushed as her husband paid for the wand.

When it was Percy's turn it dragged on slightly longer. Like 20 more wands longer as every wand he tried was either snatched away or broke something in the room. Percy was starting to get really irritated when he finally got his perfect wand "12 inches, blackthorn wood and a coral core I believe this should work" the old man mumbled as Percy waved the wand slightly and a warm feeling took over him as blue and green fireworks shot out of his new wand.

Percy was enthralled! he heard polite clapping but it seemed distant to him, he far too busy admiring his new wand which was a dark type of wood with beautiful blue and light green engravings going up from the hilt "bravo! a fine wand suited for the mind of a warrior, use it well Mr. Riddle" Olliviander said, Tom seemed satisfied as Percy moved to pay for the wand.

After they had finished all their shopping they all said their good byes "write to me yeah?" Draco said to him before taking his father's arm and apparating away. Percy and Tom themselves traveled via apparation back to Riddle manor.

For the rest of the day Percy spent all his time in his room sorting out his things to bring to Hogwarts. His personal house elf Eli helped him out by magically folding his clothes and putting them in a neat pile in his spacious trunk which has many hidden compartments deep inside.

After Percy finished packing the last of his things he switched his day robes to his pajamas and sunk deep into a blissful sleep.
