A/N OMR (Oh My Rowling) I've just passed the 100 mark for reviews, thank you guys so so much I really appreciate it! So thank you again, I love you guys so much =) 3
Anyway so seeing as my last chapter was a bit rubbish I've decided to upload this next chapter sooner so here you go.
This chapter is set in Hogsmeade and has very little Dramione in it, but Hermione's dress will be revealed =)
Remember follow me on twitter XMizzTuraX a few of you already are but it'd be nice for more of you to follow me =)
Also just wanted to remind people I have a hairspray fanfic up too.
The weekend for the Hogsmeade trip came quickly and Hermione woke to a chilly wind. She climbed out of bed and wrapped herself up before going down to meet Ginny, Hermione smiled when she realised as well as going to Hogsmeade, it was Halloween today so Hermione had the feast to look forward to and after much mithering, Draco had managed to convince her to sit with him and his fellow snakes for the meal. Ginny and Hermione embraced when Hermione entered the common room and together the pair left, today for the Hogsmeade trip both Hermione and Ginny were sitting at the Slytherin table so when they had finished their breakfast, them and Pansy could go straight to Hogsmeade.
When they walked into the Great Hall, Hermione went straight to the Slytherin table whilst Ginny followed hesitantly. Hermione sat between Draco and Pansy whilst all the boys greeted her easily. Ginny sat herself on Draco's other side looking at all the Slytherin's, feeling particularly awkward around Blaise who was looking to her with slight interest. Draco planted a soft kiss on Hermione's cheek and she cuddle up to him chatting animatedly with Ginny and Pansy. The girls ate quickly and soon the three stood and were preparing to leave. "Can I come?" Daphne asked coldly.
"No." Pansy and Ginny replied sharply.
"Why?"
"Because you sounded like you didn't care when you asked and with the way you treat Hermione because your jealous isn't fair so no." Pansy replied. Hermione smiled slightly and exchanged amused glances with Ginny at the look on Daphne's face. Without another word, the three left together.
They made their way down to Hogsmeade in silence; Hermione could still feel the strong sense of awkwardness between Pansy and Ginny but ignored it. "Shall we go get butterbeers?" Hermione suggested to the two girls who nodded. Together they hurried into the Three Broomsticks, Hermione went to order the drinks as Pansy and Ginny disappeared to find a table. Once Hermione got the drinks she scanned the room until she saw her two friends and walked over, smiling at the fact they were laughing and talking together, the atmosphere also seemed really relaxed also when she sat down and handed the drinks out, she then settled beside Ginny, holding her drink to her. "This is really weird." Pansy laughed.
"What is?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I'm a Slytherin, who is in Hogsmeade with two Gryffindor's, one of which is part of the Golden Trio so should be my sworn enemy." Pansy smiled. Ginny and Hermione giggled a little, they couldn't deny that.
"So what are you going to try and buy for the ball?" Ginny asked Pansy. Hermione was surprised Ginny hadn't already asked.
"I want a blue dress, like a midnight blue one." Pansy replied. "What about you?"
"There was a purple one I saw in a magazine, that's really pretty but I'm going to look around in the shop anyway, in case."
"Hermione?" Pansy asked.
"A Slytherin dress." Hermione smiled.
"Draco will be happy." Pansy teased as Ginny began giggling.
When they had all finished their drinks they hurried out of the pub and to another line of Madam Malkin shops but this time specialising only in formal wear. The three girls walked in and split up. Hermione pawed through the rails searching for a dress, much to no avail. She walked further into the shop looking at a dress every now and then before continuing to walk off. I sighed heavily before walking off to find Pansy or Ginny wanting one of them to help me. I found Ginny looking through the dresses lightly. "Any you like?" Hermione asked, Ginny jumped then shook her head.
"I'm just going to order that purple dress, you?" Hermione shrugged.
"I need help." Hermione said taking Ginny's hand they walked to a row of green dresses. Ginny looked through them lightly before pulling out a silk, emerald green dress with silver, sparkling diamantes along the breast of the dress and some more diamantes at the hem of her dress dotting up into various magical, swirling patterns. There was also a silver sequined belt. Hermione gasped at its beauty. "Go try it on." Ginny ordered, pushing Hermione towards the changing room. Hermione walked in obediently and changed. She then turned and began admiring herself in the mirror. The dress fitted perfectly and hugged her curves beautifully, she spun around admiring herself still, "Plenty of room to dance." Hermione murmured to herself.
"Hurry up Hermione, I want to see it!" She heard Ginny whine, Hermione giggled slightly before stepping out of the changing room. Ginny gasped and Pansy, who had just arrived holding a blue dress, smiles widely. "You look beautiful Hermione!" Ginny squealed.
"Draco won't be able to put his tongue away." Pansy giggled. Hermione smiled before going back into the changing room to get dressed. When she walks out again, Pansy is stood wearing a strappy. teal coloured dress that was slightly frilled at the bottom and came just above her knees and was low cut. "What do you think?" Pansy asked. Hermione nodded.
"I like it."
"I agree with Hermione." Ginny smiled.
"Shall we go pay in a second?" Pansy asked as she walked into the changing rooms again.
"Yeah." Ginny called before turning to Hermione who was looking at her dress with a smile.
When Pansy had changed the three girls went up to the counter and Pansy and Hermione paid after Madam Malkin gave them a date to collect their dresses so as to have the final fittings. With a final thank you the girls left the shop and began walking around. "I want a new toy for Crookshanks and would like to get Draco something." Hermione told the two other girls who murmured their agreement to it. After buying a plush snitch that flew around for Crookshanks to chase. Pansy led them to a shop telling them about how it was Draco's favourite shop. They stepped in and straight away a beautiful silver wizard watch caught Hermione's eye, she walked over to examine it closer and saw like green gems where each quarter number would be on muggle watches. "I'll get him this." Hermione smiled, picking it up.
"Pretty." Pansy murmured. Hermione smiled.
"Let me go pay." Hermione murmured.
"Then we can go look at shoes for our dresses." Ginny smiled. Hermione nodded and paid quickly, placing the watch, which was now in a green box with a silver ribbon, securely in her cloak pocket the three left. Ginny led them down a back alley until they came to a small shop filled with many different makes and coloured shoes. Hermione stepped in last and looked around. "What would go with purple?" Ginny murmured looking at the many shoes.
"Black." Pansy replied immediately. Ginny thought for a moment, trying to picture it and nodded. She disappeared to find a black pair of shoes with Pansy whilst Hermione went to look at silver shoes. Hermione found a pair easily, they were silver high heeled, however the heels were a snake reaching upwards. "Very Slytherin." She murmured as she examined them closely, she placed them on the floor and tried them on with a smile. She placed the other one on and walked around cautiously, she tried to find Ginny and Pansy, she eventually found them eyeing up a pair of shoes each. "What do you think?" Hermione grinned. Ginny and Pansy turned around to face her.
"Very nice!" Ginny smiled. Pansy stepped forward.
"Are those snakes?" Pansy asked pointing to the heels. Hermione nodded.
"You like?" She asked happily.
"Love them." The two said.
"You two sorted?" Hermione asked curiously. The girls nodded and together they paid for their shoes.
After they had paid they stepped outside, the chilly wind having picked up to be a bitter wind. "Shall we head back to school?" Ginny suggested. The two other girls nodded and giggling together they headed up to school.
A/N Okay, again not one of my better chapters, I promise I'll try to improve my upcoming chapters but I have such writers block and I have a lot of other stuff on my mind. I hope you like it, sorry again if it's not very good.
