(U)Chapter Four(U)

The group spent the following day (Tuesday) recovering from their shopping expedition. Alice spent her entire day organising everyone's outfits for the party, hanging them up on the doors of everyone's wardrobes much to Narcissa's amusement. Bella spent the entire day avoiding Alice in case she decided it was time for another game of "dress-up-Bella". Apart from Alice the only person with any energy left was Teddy who spent the entire day exploring the giant mansion, terrorising everyone else by running off whenever they tried to stop him, his laughter echoing through the entire building.

Everyone's energy levels were a bit better by Wednesday and it was agreed that they would spend the day in the mini-spa and swimming pool, yes, the Malfoy's had their own mini-spa and swimming pool. Narcissa had completely gutted the 'dungeons' under the Manor and had created a tranquil haven where she had spent a lot of time during her own recovery. Alice all but dragged poor Bella into the mini-spa; talking excitedly about the treatments they were going to have that day. Rosalie and Emmett disappeared into the Jacuzzi room, Emmett warning everyone not to join them for a little while because he couldn't guarantee just what they would be getting up to, earning a slap from his wife for being so rude in front of their hosts.

As everyone else was preparing to get into the huge pool an owl swooped into the room and landed in front of Harry's feet. Handing Teddy, dressed in a cute little pair of swimming trunks and big blow up arm bands to Draco, Harry knelt and retrieved the letter held in the Owl's jaw. He thanked to bird as he rose back to his feet and opened the letter.

"Oh," he mumbled in surprise.

"What is it?" Draco asked. There was a slight splashing sound as Lucius and Narcissa slipped into the pool at the shallow end, standing arm in arm and looking across at the group stood by the deep end.

"The Minister wants to talk to me," Harry explained, "And so does my Boss."

"What about?" Draco asked, slightly worried.

"Oh nothing bad," Harry chuckled, "Party stuff and a little project I left running when I moved in with you lot. I'd best go, he says he's cancelled a meeting with the Minister of Finance just to fit in this little chat."

"What about Teddy?" Draco asked.

"You'll behave for Uncle Draco and Uncle Jasper while I'm out won't you Teddy?" Harry asked, smiling at his little boy expecting a completely different answer to the one that he received…loudly,

"No! Daddy!" he began to wriggle in Draco's arms, reaching for Harry and kicking at the blonds thighs. "Daddy stay! Daddy stay!"

"Hey! What's this about?" Harry asked. Draco winced as a little foot caught him a little higher in an extremely sensitive area. "Teddy! Stop that!"

"Daddy stay! Daddy stay!" Teddy cried loudly.

"Teddy, what's wrong?" Harry asked.

"Scared! Daddy stay!" Teddy was now red in the face and almost sobbing.

"Scared of what, sweetheart?" Harry asked, pushing his sons hair back from his forehead gently. Draco was very thankful that the struggles lessened after that, the little boy hanging limp in his arms as he pointed at the water with a little hand. "You're scared of the water?"

"Uh-huh," Teddy nodded, hiccupping loudly.

"Harry, have you ever taken him swimming before?" Narcissa asked as she and Lucius swam elegantly over to their side of the pool.

"He's been in a paddling pool…"

"This is a bit different than a paddling pool Harry," Narcissa scolded lightly, standing on the bottom of the pool, which left her head and shoulders out in the air. "Pass him down to me Draco," she ordered, holding her arms up.

The struggles and whimpering began again as Draco complied, putting the little boy into his mothers wet arms. Harry knelt down on the side of the pool, disturbing the owl that hooted in annoyance. He reached out and took Teddy's little hands in his own as Narcissa bobbed up and down gently, getting his sons legs wet.

"See? Nothing to be afraid of here," she said softly to him, "It's just like a giant bath isn't it?" She smiled warmly at him and got a hesitant smile back as the little boy got used to the new feeling. "Now your Daddy has to go and do Daddy things but we're going to play with you until he comes back," she continued calmly, still smiling. "It'll be fun."

"Fun?" Teddy asked nervously, letting go of Harry's hand to pat the surface of the water gently, giggling as ripples spread out from his hand.

"Lot's of fun. And then when Daddy gets back you can show him what a good swimmer you are," Narcissa said confidently. She remembered doing this with her own son the first time she had taken him to a swimming pool. He'd been just as frightened and he'd been nearly four. "Ok?"

"Ok…" Teddy nodded.

"So wave goodbye to Daddy," Narcissa prompted him gently.

"Buh-bye Daddy. See you soon?" he asked nervously.

"See you soon, Teddy," Harry agreed, standing up slowly. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Harry," Narcissa said with a smile, "Nothing I haven't dealt with before." She looked pointedly at Draco who flushed with embarrassment. Harry laughed and left the room to put some more suitable clothes on.

Draco and Jasper joined the others in the pool and it was only then that they realised Edward had followed the girls into the spa bit, obviously to keep an eye on his poor girlfriend as she was 'tortured' by his sister. The couple watched from a distance as Lucius and Narcissa built up Teddy's confidence in the water. They swam together, Draco surprised that vampires floated. Of course they could also stay underwater infinitely but Jasper didn't for fear of frightening Teddy.

"Boys," Narcissa called out, "Come and help us teach Teddy to swim."

Harry left the Ministers office feeling both pleased and frustrated. He was pleased that his message of 'forgive and forget' had reached the right people and something was being done to help people who, like the Malfoys, had only followed Voldemort out of fear. But he was frustrated by how long it was taking! The Minister had created a system of appeal especially for ex-Death Eaters but there was so much red tape to struggle through that there were still people suffering in Azkaban who should never have been sent there in the first place!

"Mr Potter?" a quiet voice startled him out of his thoughts and he found himself facing a pack, yes that was the best for it, a pack of children no older than five. "Can I…Can I have your autigraph please?"

"Sure," Harry smiled at the group and dropped to his knees so that he was more at their level. He took the quill and scrap of parchment, obviously torn from a book or something, from the boy who had spoken. "What's your name?"

"Milo," the boy answered, "Milo Jacobsen."

"That's a cool name…"

In the end Harry signed nearly two dozen autographs for the children and some of their parents, standing at the edge of the group and talking about how lucky it was that Harry had come in to the Ministry on 'bring-your-kid-to-work-day'…Harry couldn't believe people actually did that! He also posed for well over a dozen photographs before he could escape and head back to Malfoy Manor.

Noticing the reporters beginning to swarm around the exit, armed with their camera and their quills Harry decided it would be much safer to take a more scenic route, a stroll down memory lane. He walked towards the 'back entrance' to the Ministry, the one he and Mr Weasley had used the first time he had ever entered this place - the red telephone box at the back of the entrance hall.

When he reached the surface and the muggle world he decided that as he was already taking a stroll down memory lane he might as well make it a full on expedition. Putting his hands in his pockets he walked the familiar streets of London and eventually headed down to the tube station where he had hung out for pretty much the entire summer before his sixth year. The café was still there but the waitress was not. What an idiot he'd been back then, trying to act cool when he'd basically been stalking her for nearly four weeks.

He caught a train for the sake of catching a train, watching the various people going about their normal muggle lives, unaware of the magical world running parallel with theirs (if a little backwards in fashion and writing utensils). Getting off at Waterloo station he had a KFC, something he hadn't done in long, long time and as he was leaving the station to find somewhere safe for him to Apparate from he noticed a poster. It was a strange poster, a woman in white was whispering behind her hand into the ear of a woman in black…with green skin.

"What in Merlin's name…?" Harry mumbled, confused. (I)"Wicked"(I)," he read, (I)"The untold story of the witches of Oz.(I) Now why does that ring a bell? The Wizards of Oz…the Wizard of Oz…oh! Judy Garland!" Harry laughed. "I'm turning into Draco, not knowing muggle movies," he muttered to himself. (I)"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,"(I) Harry chuckled as he sang the signature song of the much-loved movie really out of tune. "Stop it Harry, you are not a singer."

But as he studied the poster an idea came to him. This was a play showing what the muggles thought about magic, it might be a good idea to get the Malfoy's to see it, to see what muggles thought magic was like…and there weren't any plans for tomorrow night…

"Well there are now," Harry chuckled to himself, pulling out his mobile phone and typing in the Box Office number, "Hello, I'd like to book tickets to see Wicked tomorrow night. Yes, I'll hold…"

Keeping Teddy out of the pool after lunch was tough, the little boy wanted to swim! In the end it had taken pure bribery to keep him happy until his daddy got home - chocolate cake. Teddy loved chocolate cake. By the time Harry arrived home at 3:45pm his little boy was covered in chocolate stains and more hyper than he had ever seen him before, running around madly and screaming at the top of his voice.

"He's going to be a nightmare to get to sleep," Harry groaned as he handed his jacket to the house elf that had appeared at his side. Draco shot him an apologetic look as he caught Teddy before he could launch himself off the fourth step up on the stairs. "How much chocolate did you give him?"

"Enough to keep him happy," Draco admitted, "Sorry Harry but he got so upset when we said we weren't going swimming after lunch…"

"It's ok," Harry sighed, "Did he enjoy the swimming then?"

"Enjoy isn't the right word," Draco chuckled, picking up Teddy and handing him to Harry, "Once he got used to it he loved it. He can swim short distances all on his own now, can't you Teddy?"

"Yeah!" Teddy laughed happily, "Narci and Luci showed me!"

"Narci and Luci?" Harry asked, raising his eyebrow as Draco snorted loudly.

"New nicknames," he explained shortly, leading the way into the sitting room where he had just followed Teddy from. Everyone was reclining in the plush seats, sipping drinks (the humans anyway) and reading magazines and newspapers.

"Ok everyone, change of plans. We're going hunting tonight," Alice said loudly as Draco sat down in his seat next to Jasper. The vampire pulled his boyfriend into his lap and Draco smiled, curling up into Jasper's arms and allowing Harry to sit on the other side of him with a squirming Teddy held securely in his arms.

"What? Why?" Rosalie demanded, "I thought we were going hunting tomorrow because it's the only day we had free to do so…"

"It was but now it isn't," Alice replied, "Harry's made plans, fantastic plans!" Alice cried happily and all attention was back on the dark haired wizard.

"Harry?" Draco asked.

"Well…when I'd finished in the Ministry I went for a little stroll in Muggle London and I thought that…well we should get in some more traditional sightseeing for you tourists," Harry explained the idea that had come to him after he'd confirmed the booking of the tickets, "You know…go on the London Eye, visit the Tower, see the Crown Jewels, see Buckingham Palace, go to Harrods…"

"Harrods!" Alice squealed excited, wriggling in her seat.

"Shopping in Harrods…" Rosalie breathed. Draco watched her, saw the excitement on her beautiful face and saw for the first time happiness in her eyes. It suited her, the look of happiness and he hoped that he could help her to heal from whatever had hurt her like this family had helped him heal.

"Oh no…not more shopping…" Bella groaned, dropping her head onto Edwards shoulder with a little more force than she should have…"Ow…"

"Well done," Draco snorted as she sat up, rubbing her sore forehead.

"Shut up," Bella glared across at him as he snuggled further into Jaspers arms, tucking his head under his chin. Merlin he loved the feel of those arms around him, they made him feel so safe…

"And then in the evening I've got us all tickets to see a show on the West End," Harry continued with a broad smile.

"The what end?" Draco asked.

"The West End. Didn't you pay any attention in your Muggle Studies classes, Draco?" Harry asked, slightly exasperated.

"No."

"Of course not…" Harry muttered.

"The West End is like Broadway only English," Alice explained cheerfully. Draco still looked thoroughly confused. "You've never heard of Broadway?" To her that was even worse than never having heard of the West End! Come on, she was American, of course Broadway was more important to her…

"No."

"Where have you been?" Alice gasped, horrified.

"Um…here," Draco pointed out.

"You poor, deprived person," Alice said sympathetically, "But you're going to love tomorrow night though so that's ok. You'll learn all about the West End and Broadway, especially if I can have anything to do with it."

"What show are we seeing?" Bella asked, being much more careful this time as she put her head down on Edwards shoulder making Draco smile.

(I)"Wicked,"(I) Harry, Alice and Edward replied at the same time.

"What's it about?" Narcissa asked as she lay propped up against Lucius' chest, sipping a cocktail that was changing from blue to pink and back again.

"Have you seen (I)The Wizard Of Oz(I)," Harry asked.

"Yes," Narcissa smiled fondly, "Such a charming film if a little in-accurate in it's depiction of magic but the fundamental things are there. And Judy Garland was simply stunning. What a powerful voice. That song makes me cry every time."

"Was that the one you made me watch a couple of months ago when it was on the Television," Lucius said, pronouncing the piece of muggle technology carefully, getting a nod from pretty much everyone to reassure him that he'd pronounced it correctly.

"Yes, that's the one. My favourite muggle film," Narcissa smiled happily, "So is it the stage version of that?" she asked, turning her face towards Harry.

"Not quite," Harry answered, "The poster says it's a prequel."

"Ooh," Narcissa sounded intrigued, "So what is it about?"

"Well I don't actually know…" Harry began to admit but Alice cut him off,

"It's the story of how Glinda became the good witch of the north and how Elphaba became the wicked witch of the west and it explains more about the scarecrow and the lion and the tin man and the wicked witches sister and why she's green and there's even more stuff about the wizard. And the music is amazing!" Alice announced excitedly, all in one long breath, "I saw glimpses of it when you bought the tickets and I've read the reviews online."

"That sounds…" Draco began but his mother cut him off,

"Wonderful!"

"What about Teddy?" Jasper asked, looking at the boy whose sugar high was obviously dwindling, his little eyes beginning to droop. Harry was very pleased to see this, if he was exhausted he'd sleep…

"The House Elves will look after him. They make wonderful baby sitters," Narcissa announced calmly. Harry nodded in agreement. He had been going to ask her about that or whether or not he should hire a babysitter…although thinking about it he was glad the house elves could do it. Just the thought of trusting complete strangers to look after Teddy sent deathly chills down his spine. So many things could go wrong... "What should we wear?"

"Something posh but not too posh that we'd stand out," Alice announced, "You're red dress would look fantastic."

"Red dress?" Lucius asked.

"I got it when we were in Diagon Alley," Narcissa explained.

"I like red," Lucius answered, "You look good in red."

"Thank you. Shall I wear my red dress then?" Narcissa asked and Draco was horrified to realise that he was watching his parents flirt.

"I think you should," Lucius answered.

"Well only if you wear that suit I like," Narcissa responded, actually batting her eyelashes at her husband and pouting her red lips. Draco nearly gagged and Harry chuckled at his reaction.

"So what time are we going hunting and where?" Emmett asked, breaking the…odd and every so slightly uncomfortable mood.

"After the humans have had their dinner and in the woods at the edge of the Malfoy grounds," Alice answered, "There'll be some good game there and no humans for miles. We'll be safe and it'll be fun."

"Sounds good," the vampires agreed and the group all settled into their own private conversations as they waited for the time to pass and for the house elves to serve dinner.

Dinner had been delicious and shortly after the vampires had changed into suitable hunting outfits and disappeared into the fading light. Draco, who's room faced the woods, had watched them as they all ran at inhuman speeds, Edward at the front. Jasper had looked back and Draco had found himself impulsively blowing him a kiss through the glass. He was turning into a teenage girl!

Now, three hours later, he was sat on the old fashioned windowsill seat reading one of his old Potions books whilst trying not to watch the tree line barely showing in the moonlight, trying not to watch for the vampires return, trying not to watch for Jasper. As the clock struck eleven his gaze was drawn to a moving shape in the darkness and then he found himself squinting at a huge figure moving through the garden at the back of the manor that could only be Emmett. And then the giant vampire pause, a few feet away from the shaft of light cast down from Draco's window and he realised with a blush that his mate had joined him and the two were engaged in an incredibly passionate kiss.

His blush deepened and he looked away, focusing on his potions book but not really reading any of the words. When he looked back a few moments later they were gone but another figure was moving slowly through the garden, towards the patch of light, a very familiar figure that made him smile broadly.

Jasper.

He began to wave down at his mate just as the vampire stepped fully into the light…and his hand froze in the air, his eyes widening slightly as he took in the state that Jasper was in…

His boyfriend was covered in blood.

Trickles of the red liquid ran down his chin and there was a large stain on the neckline of his top, more trickles running down his chest. There were splashes of blood up his arms and on his hands and face and even, Draco suspected, in his hair. But the strange thing was that Draco was repulsed by this sight as he should be. If anything seeing his boyfriend look so much like the vampire he was, not to be confused with looking like a monster because even covered in blood he couldn't look like a monster to Draco, the blond wizard found this look incredibly…hot. He'd even got so far as to say…arousing.

"Wait…what?" Draco asked.

He found the sight of his boyfriend covered in blood arousing?

What was wrong with him?

Snapping out of his weird thoughts he noticed that Jasper had moved and his gaze snapped to the door, waiting for it to open…

"Draco?" the soft voice came as the door opened ever so slowly, Jasper stepping into the room slowly, "If…If you look away I'll go shower this off and…"

"No," Draco said quickly, jumping up from his seat and dropping the book to the ground as he rushed over to stand between Jasper and the bathroom, "No. I…I don't mind it…" Jasper frowned, looking confused for a moment before the reality of Draco's emotions hit him.

"You…you think I look…" Jasper breathed, raising his eyebrow.

"Way too hot for your own good," Draco breathed quickly, "Which makes me so weird and slightly sick but…Jasper…I never thought I would think this but…you…with the blood…it looks…hot as hell…" He was struggling to talk now, eyes a little wide and cheeks more than a little flushed. "It wouldn't be hot…in fact it would be really un-hot if it were human blood but knowing it's animal blood and…and…it looks…well…yeah…"

"Really?" Jasper asked.

"Uh-huh," Draco nodded, now completely lost for words.

"Wow…" Jasper mumbled, "I didn't expect that."

"Neither did I," Draco admitted softly, "I mean…it should be icky but…it's not. What…what is it?" he gestured to the blood.

"Deer," Jasper answered, "Y-You don't think I look like a monster?"

"No," Draco shook his head quickly.

"You mean that," Jasper breathed in slight wonder as he felt the truth radiating off of Draco, mixing with the growing lust. "Er…Draco…um…I'm gonna shower before things get out of hand…"

"Let me help you," Draco offered quickly.

"What?" Jasper asked in surprise.

"Let me help you wash it off," Draco offered, reaching out with his pale hand and gently smudging one of the trickles of blood on Jasper's chin, staining his own thumb red. "Please…I want to help you…wash…it…off…"

"O-O-Ok," Jasper stuttered, his mind feeling like it was about to explode out of his skull. He was sure that if he hadn't literally just fed he would be running a mile to get away from the feelings his boyfriend was radiating, was making him feel but…well he did not want to run. He wanted to tear Draco's clothes off and jump in the shower with him and…"Ok."

As they lay in bed together, entwined in each others arms Draco could not get the goofy smile off his face. Who'd have thought that having weird feeling about his boyfriend covered in animal blood would have enabled them to jump that giant hurdle that had been in their way, blocking them from going any further than kissing and cuddling. They hadn't…done it but…well…(B)something(B)…had happened and…well wow! Just…wow! That was all he could think in post orgasmic brain.

"Sweet dreams Draco…I love you…"

"I love you too Jasper…thank you…"

"Your welcome…"

They discovered as they rode on the London Eye that not only was Teddy afraid of heights but he could also be very, very loud when he wanted to be. As the pod moved around the big wheel, moving up and up ever so slowly…Teddy's screams got louder and louder far too quickly.

"Teddy…it's ok…Daddy's here…" Harry tried to calm the frightened little boy, holding him tightly in his arms. They weren't even half way round yet and the few other people in the pod with their large group were starting to get a little annoyed. "Teddy…it's ok…I promise…"

"Harry," Jasper said softly, sitting on the bench in the centre of the pod next to the dark haired young man, "Would you like me to try?" Jasper sent a wave of calm to Harry to demonstrate exactly what he meant.

"If you would Jasper that would be great," Harry breathed. He'd forgotten all about Jasper's unique gift. Gently he passed the screaming child to the vampire who was careful not to drop the little boy or squeeze him too hard.

"Shh Teddy…" he whispered soothingly as surrounded the boy with his strong arms and feelings of safety and happiness. Slowly Teddy's screaming and crying reduced to only frightened whimpers and everyone let out a soft sigh of relief. "That's it Teddy…I've got you…"

"Thank you," Harry whispered to the vampire, getting up from the seat to finally have a look at the fantastic view of London.

"Harry?" Bella asked, beckoning him over to where she and Edward stood, "That building there, the yellow one that looks like it's made out of Lego bricks…what is it? I recognise it from somewhere and I can't think where."

"That's MI6 Headquarters," Harry chuckled softly as he figure out which building she meant, "It's supposed to be a secret but…well it was used in one of the newer James Bond films. Pierce Bronson drove through the outer wall in a boat and then sped off down the Thames."

"Oh yeah, I remember," Bella nodded, remembering the film now. It was the only Bond film she'd ever seen and then it had only been because Charlie had wanted to watch it when it was on TV, "Not very good at keeping secrets are they?"

"No. You'd think spies would be better at it," Harry chuckled.

Everyone enjoyed the ride much more once Jasper was the one in charge of calming Teddy down. Even Teddy himself started to enjoy himself, trusting Jasper's strong arms enough to be held right up to the glass so that he could really see the view. Draco leant against the glass next to Jasper, running his hand absentmindedly up and down the vampire's strong back, thinking to himself that Jasper would have made an incredible father….

They stepped off the London Eye at 11:15 and Harry and Alice led the way (by tube and by walking) to their next destination - The Tower Of London. Only this name is very deceptive, as the American's soon found out. It should be called The Towers-With-A-Million-And-One-Bloody-Stairs-In-Them Of London.

"I'm jealous," Draco grumbled as they climbed yet another set of stairs in the third tower like building they'd been in. Jasper, walking in front of him looked back over his shoulder at him, frowning in confusion.

"Of who?" he asked.

"Teddy," Draco grumbled. The littler boy was currently laughing happily as he was given a piggy back by the completely unaffected Alice. In fact she had been skipping up most of the stairs meaning that the rest of them had to move faster to keep up with her. "I don't do walking…or stairs…"

"Do you want me to give you a piggy back?" Jasper offered.

"No because that would look stupid but I wouldn't mind a hand," Draco said, reaching out with his hand. He was pulled up the stairs by his strong but gentle boyfriend and he continued to hold onto that hand for support as they looked around the display in the last room of the 'White Tower', which they were now at the top of. It was all about life in the time of Henry VIII and most of the games; even though they were aimed at children were really hard. Like the Longbow test. Draco's result was pathetic; he barely launched the imaginary arrow towards the enemy. The string was really tight! Jasper's went too far.

"Not more stairs," Bella groaned as they followed the signs for the exit.

"At least their stairs going down," Draco pointed out.

He soon regretted saying this because even though the stairs went down and it was easier to walk down them than up they were the longest stairs yet. They never ended! Instead of going like they had on the way up, one set of stairs, exhibit, one set of stairs, exhibit, the stairs down just kept going down and down and down until they had gone through all eight or nine floors and reached the ground.

"I dizzy," Teddy mumbled, shaking his head.

"Me too," Draco admitted, rubbing his eyes gently as they stepped out into the daylight. Thankfully it was warm but cloudy today, no sunshine in sight. Most people would complain about this but for the group of vampires it was perfect.

Lastly the visited the Crown Jewels, riding on the conveyor belt and staring at the beautiful pieces of jewellery as they went by. Alice's joke - "I want that one!" - was lost on everybody but Harry and a few muggle near by and they all chuckled loudly at the 'Little Britain' reference.

Then after visiting the gift shop and buying silly little souvenirs the group took two taxi's (simply because the couldn't possibly all fit in one taxi) to Buckingham Palace and spent half an hour being pure tourists and staring open mouthed at the amazing building, at the guards beyond the gate, taking photos…Bella took a truck load of photo's at the Palace.

"What does the flag mean?" she asked after she'd taken a photo specifically of the flag flying on top of the building.

"The Queen's home," Harry answered, "She's in there somewhere."

"Wow."

They walked through the park to get to the Underground station, moving at a leisurely pace for the first time that day…or rather them moved at Teddy's pace as he laughed and ran circles around the group, chasing something only he could see as he played a little game with himself. Catching the train they headed into the city and then followed Harry and Alice as they led the way too…

"Harrods!"

Being in Harrods was almost like being on another planet. As soon as they stepped into the shop it was like they had been transported, if not to another planet than at least to another time when everything was about glitz and glamour. Alice, Rosalie and Narcissa not only loved it straight away but they also looked like they belonged there. The others looked just like all the other tourists gaping open mouthed at the splendour before them, even Draco and Lucius who weren't exactly strangers when it came to living well.

They arrived at just after one and so Lucius decided to treat everyone to lunch in one of the café's in the food section. Bella nearly had a heart attack when she saw the prices of the every day food in the fancy supermarket. It was ridiculous! And then came the price of their meals…

After they'd eaten or pretended to eat in the vampire's case they began to wander around the slightly terrifying shop. After a little while Lucius and Narcissa excused themselves from the others, heading off to shop together as a slightly older couple than the rest of the group…well at least they looked like a slightly older couple than the rest of the group even if they weren't really.

That left everyone else at the mercy of a very excited Alice and she proved once and for all that she had been born to shop. They had lost Rosalie for a little while, the beautiful vampire getting left behind as she browsed and bought practically half of the Dolce and Gabana section. In fact they lost her again in the Burberry section…and the Chanel section…

"No," Bella practically growled, shaking her head firmly, flatly refusing to try on the stunningly gorgeous white…wedding dress that Alice was holding out to her. "In fact (B)Hell(B) no."

"But Bella it would suit you so well…" Alice protested.

"Alice! That's a wedding dress!" Bella snapped, "I am not getting married so I will not try a wedding dress on no matter how hard you try!" With that she stormed out of the bridal section, Edward following his girlfriend quickly. Draco frowned at the confident smile that spread out on Alice's face as everyone else slowly followed the couple leaving only him and the pixie like vampire in the room. He watched as she walked over to one of the well-dressed assistants and handed the girl both the dress and her credit card, telling her she'd like it in a plain bag as it was a surprise.

"Something you're not telling the rest of us?" he asked once everything was sorted and it joined her other bags she'd accumulated on the way round the store.

"Yes," she answered, "Bella will look glorious in this when the time comes."

They rejoined the others and the shopping continued. Everyone but Bella ended buying at least one thing, after all they all had money to spare either from living for so long or from coming from a ridiculously rich family. However this didn't mean Bella didn't get anything, Edward kept buying her the things she said she liked but not telling her he was doing so. Sneaky vampire.

Draco and Jasper ended up, quite accidentally, getting matching suits. Thankfully they didn't pick the same colour shirts, Draco going for emerald green and black, Jasper for midnight blue and sea blue. If everything had been the same well…that would have just been way too matchy-matchy. Jasper also bought himself a new watch and at the same time bought Draco one for Christmas (even though it was ages away), this time going for exactly the same model. He didn't think you could be matchy-matchy with watches.

It was gone five o'clock when they met up with his parents and left the shop, their hands full of bulging bags and their bank accounts quite a bit emptier. They walked a little way down the road until they found somewhere secluded enough to Apparate back to the Manor from.

"Ok everyone, we have an hour and twenty-seven minutes before we have to leave for the show or we'll be late because of traffic or a ticket problem," Alice announced after they'd all appeared in the entrance hall, house elves surrounding them and taking their purchases from them. "Just enough time to get ready!"

"Just?" Draco asked as she rushed up the stairs.

"It's Alice," Jasper shrugged.

A/N Um…there was still meant to be more of this but I wanted to put this up so you lot didn't think I was neglecting you. LOL. I took the tourist moments from my own visit to London in the summer and seriously, if you haven't been to the Tower of London it's well worth it but wear sensible footwear!
