A/N Super sorry for the late update! And that's all I can say. Summer time!
Disclaimer: Look in the chapter before.
The next day Nicki, Roxie, Lily, Rose, Lucy and I all went shopping for dresses. (All the other Weasley girls are older so they weren't there.) We are shopping in muggle London because the adults say it's the best place. (And by adults I mean Fleur, Roxie's mum, Hermione, Rose's mum[Rose's mum is Hermione, Lily's mum is Ginny] and Lucy's mum.) And as you can predict the whole event was and still is horrific. As mum would say, people are running around like chickens with no heads, stumbling around blindly. Well, all except me. I am currently browsing through racks calmly and slowly. Then Nicki comes up to me. Oh, no. Merlin, help me.
"What are you doing here sitting around and not looking for a dress?" She asks.
"I am not just sitting around. I am looking for a dress," I say, correcting her.
"Yeah looking around as slow as a slug," She says with a snort.
"And did you find a dress yet?" I shot back.
"As the matter of fact I did." Nicki says all pompously.
"Okay, cool, now can you leave so I can look?"
"No, it's my duty as your best friend. I will stay here by help you to find a dress as quickly as you can." Then after seeing my questioning look she added, "Mum and all the other adults looking over us 'kids' said we should get a move on. We don't want to be stuck here forever." I can agree with that, we need to eat, but the shop had a calming air to it. I can stay here all day, I don't mind clothes in the slightest bit.
"Okay whatever just don't force me into something really skinny." I compromised.
"Whatever you say, Amber." I hope she listens to me. For her sake. We continue browsing.
"Ooohh! What about this one?" And she holds up a poofy dress.
"For goodness sake no and none that style." I answer, horrified.
"Okay, what about this one?" This time it is much better but it was bright white. Now I know what you are thinking, how can a dress be bright white? Well for starters its has shiny beads but I hate super shiny beads.
"No I hate those beads. But if you can find some other color in that style I'll try it on."
"Why are you being so picky?" Nicki whines. What can I say I am a picky shopper? I wouldn't even try it on if it's not my style or in my liking.
Then finally I spot a dress that I fallen in love with at the moment. It was strapless emerald green with gold lining around the chest and back. Nicki spotted me looking at it.
"Don't just stand there! Go try it on!" She says, annoyed.
"Fine but you have to show me your dress." I say, agreeing easily. I really do want to try it on.
"Okay." And we rush to the dressing rooms.
My refection is not what I expect when I had the dress on. I look like an elegant woman in a fancy dress, not how I usually look.
"Are you going to get out here? I want to see that dress on you!" Nicki yells from outside the dressing rooms.
"Okay I'm coming." And I step out only to be met with a gasp.
"Oh my merlin that looks AMAZING on you! James is going to die!" She squeals.
"But how do you know that? HE is probably going to be staring at Jillian with her slutty dress on." I say sourly.
"You never know." She says mysteriously.
Then finally I notice her dress.
"I love your dress! Its so.." I try to look for the right word. "You." That's the only way I could describe it really, it had a puffy skirt that was blue with a sweetheart neckline that is strapless top. Plus it's shiny black. Yup. So Nicki.
"Well, yeah, I guess that's one way to describe it."
"Come on, guys, if you didn't find your dresses now we are going to a different store. But I'm sick oh shopping and if you didn't I'll..." The Roxie looks up at us in our dresses. "Oh Merlin..." She says disbelieving.
After a pause she continues, "You look AMAZING, Amber! Simply stunning!"
"What am I? A troll?" Nicki exclaims.
"Did Nicki just say a muggle expression?" Roxie asks me.
"I think she did." I answer and we look at each other in mock horror.
"What is the world coming to?" We chorus.
"Shut it guys! What if it's not a muggle expression?"
"That was awesome!" I exclaim ignoring her.
"Our best performance yet." Roxie adds and we high five each other.
"But Nicki, that dress looks awesome on you." Roxie adds yet again but this time sincerely.
"Did everyone find a dress?" I ask.
"Well... I think so. Before I left to find you guys Lily was trying one on and I think she really liked it."
"Okay now lets get a move on. We still have to find accessories." Nicki impatiently says. And she disappears behind the dressing room door.
"Okay then." Then I also walk into the dressing room to change out of the dress.
After I exited the dressing room Roxie and Nicki dragged me over to the accessories section of the store.
For Nicki we bought silver/black earrings and a necklace with a light blue stone. For Roxie we bought a different kind of silver earrings and the same kind of necklace but with a deep purple stone because her dress was a matching color. And finally for me, we bought gold earrings and the same kind of necklace also but with a gold chain and emerald stone.
We bought the necklaces because Nicki wanted to match in a way. And that was the easiest way.
Afterwards we found everyone and exited the store.
"Roxie when can we see your dress?" I ask suddenly.
"You can see it before the party."
As I said okay, Nicki whines, "But that's so far away."
"Deal with it." Roxie retorted. Ahhh the sweet sound of friends fighting. Relaxing isn't it?
Fleur comes up to us and says, "Girlz, you go explo' ze muggle vorld. Just meet uz back 'ere at four." And she presses some muggle money into Nicki's had. "'ave fun." She adds.
'Thanks, Fleur', 'Thanks, Aunt Fleur', and 'Thanks, Mum' were chanted back at her.
"Well ,lets go explore!" I exclaim.
A/N back again and the dresses are going to be on my profile under dresses and the Final Year. Sometimes I am slightly obsessive with dresses. Thanks and keep reviewing!
