Chapter 11

Hermione lifted up a hanger; draped on it was a flowy purple top. Hermione raised it up to Olivia, she squinted one of her eyes, trying to imagine her in it. Hermione shook her head, "No, it's too similar to that purple dress you wore with flowers a few days ago."

Olivia raised an eyebrow, "You memorized my outfits."

"No," Hermione scoffed, then she smiled, "You just always look cute, your outfits are hard to forget."

Hermione started rifling through the bottoms. She sifted through the skirts and a plain slim fitting black skirt caught her eye. She pulled it off the rack, "Now this, I think we're getting somewhere."

"Good eye, Hermione," Aunt Beatrice came up behind her, "That piece looks like nothing on a hanger, but really looks nice once you put it on. Now that's one option. Let's find a top to go with it."

Aunt Beatrice expertly scanned the rows of clothes, "Ah, there's what I was looking for." She got a red blouse from the top shelf. It was sleeveless and the straps were frilly. There were gold stripes on either side on the front, running from the bottom of the straps to the hem.

"Here you go," she handed the top to Olivia and Hermione handed her the skirt, "There's a dressing room over there and I will go find you some shoes."

Olivia took the garments in her hands and headed off to the dressing room. She latched the door closed and began pulling off her clothes. She pulled on the black skirt and then pulled on the red top. Suddenly she saw some heels being pushed through the door. They were red with a 1 inch gold heel.

Olivia picked them up and slid her feet into them. She brushed her hair back and turned to face the mirror. She gasped. She loved it. The black skirt clung to her thighs and fell 3 inches above the knee. The top clung to her curves but flared out a bit at the bottom. The heels matched her top perfectly. She really liked how it looked, but she shook her head. It was a little revealing and probably not appropriate for the dinner that night. Also, it was a bit too fancy.

"Olivia, come on out," Hermione called, "let us see."

"You guys, I love it. But, I don't think it is right," Olivia stepped out of the stall anyways.

Hermione's mouth dropped open and Aunt Beatrice smiled and clapped excitedly.

"I knew it would look fantastic on you!" Beatrice exclaimed, "I guess it's not really the right type outfit for the occasion. But, I'm letting you keep it. You look too great in it! I'm not depriving this outfit of you."

"You don't have to," Olivia protested.

"No," Beatrice persisted, "I insist. Any friend of Hermione's is family in my book."

"Thank you," Olivia said softly.

"I'm going to see if we can find something else," Aunt Beatrice headed to the other side of the store to look.

Hermione turned to Olivia, "I've never seen you in anything like that. You look sexy, Olivia! If you wore that, Wen's eyeballs will fall out, I'm sure."

"Well, I don't want that to happen. I probably won't wear it around him then," Olivia glanced down at herself.

"No, that's a good thing," Hermione laughed, "But, anyways, let's go find something else. You can go change back into your other clothes if you want."

Olivia headed back into the dressing room and changed back into regular clothes. She folded up the skirt and top and held them with one arm and held the heels with her other hand.

"Let me get that," Beatrice said, "I'll put them in a bag for you."

"You don't have to give them to me," Olivia protested again, "I'm fine. And, if I have to have them, I'll pay."

Aunt Beatrice laughed at Olivia's insistence, "How about you just pay me back with a story about your date?"

Olivia smiled, "Okay, I'll do that."

The door dinged open and a few customers came in.

Aunt Beatrice put Olivia's clothes in a bag and put them behind the counter and went to greet the customers, "Hello, welcome to Like Magic. Is there anything specific that you are looking for today?"

"Yeah," the mom answered, "My daughter has a recital in a week and we are looking for a dress for her to wear."

Aunt Beatrice led them around the store and Hermione and Olivia went to work by themselves.

"I have not been able to come here in awhile," Hermione told Olivia, "I forgot how cute my aunt's clothes were."

"Oh, how's this?" Hermione held up a white dress. It was a white silky material overlaid with a white lace.

"It's beautiful, Hermione," Olivia answered, "But, I think that it would look better on you than me. I'm too pale to pull it off. Go try it on!"

"Should I?" Hermione fingered the lace.

"Definitely," Olivia nodded.

"Okay," Hermione went into the stall and grabbed a pair of brown boots along the way.

She came out.

"You look great in that, Hermione!" Olivia exclaimed, "Here you should put this around your waist."

Olivia grabbed a thin brown belt off of the table of accessories in the middle of the store and handed it to Hermione who buckled it around her waist.

"Perfect," Olivia nodded approvingly, then nudged Hermione, "You should wear that on your date with Ron."

Hermione flushed, "I do not have a date with Ron! We are just friends, Olivia!"

"For now," Olivia said under her breath. Then she spoke back up in a normal voice, "You should go show your aunt."

Yay, Chapter 11! I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever! I had soooo much homework last week. I know I said that I would try to update every Friday at least, but trust me last week was crazy…today was crazy! Since it's a three day weekend, I'll hopefully be able to update more. Do you think Olivia will find the perfect outfit for her dinner with Wen and his family? Looks like Hermione's found an outfit, but it's not even her date…lol! I hope you enjoyed it, though! Review! I don't have time to update Skateboards, Music, and Nanas today, but I'll try tomorrow. It's a 3 day weekend so hopefully I'll have time sometime this weekend.
