p class="p1"A/N: I haven't uploaded in 2 days so here is an extra long one to keep you going/p
p class="p1" /p
p class="p1" /p
p class="p1""Thanks for the food ,Mrs Weasley" thanked Hermione ,as she placed Mrs Weasley's baguettes in her beaded bag ,which had an undetectable extension charm./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Mum, we may stay out till past midnight so don't wait for us to come back." Shouted Ginny ,coming down the stairs all ready to go. Harry, Draco and Ron were watching the scene from the top of the stairs with excitement. They were about to pay Granger and Weaslette back for beating them up./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Yes, don't worry. In case you are hungry when you come back, then I will have a plate of sandwiches and cake on the table" said Mrs Weasley, ushering the girls out of the door. Draco, Harry and Ron followed the girls surreptitiously and when the girls apparated, Draco caught onto the hem of Hermione's long-sleeved shirt and apparated with her ,while Ron and Harry clung onto him. The moment they landed, they hid under the invisibility cloak. Ginny and Hermione walked to the car park ,where a bunch of girls were waiting for them./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Hey guys, it is so nice to see you after almost a year. How are you doing?" Asked Hermione politely ,hugging Marie and Lucie ,the closest of her group of friends./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I have brought a friend to join us today" Hermione showed the group Ginny ,who was showing herself./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Hello I'm Masie"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I'm Lucie"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Hannah, nice to meet you"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Olivia"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Everybody looked at Elenie ,who was eyeing Herionie and Ginny's joggers and long-sleeved T-shirts with disgust. "Oh yes, I am Elenie ,but of course you know me. I am the model ,who has been in the newspapers quite a lot due …"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Hello, yes I heard about you, I'm Ginny" Ginny cut her off. Hermione and Masie forced themselves to keep a straight class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Elenie blushed at being cut off by a new member to their class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Don't you have anything else to wear?" Elenie asked before she could stop herself. Elenie herself was wearing a short skirt and a shirt that showed her tummy. Ginny halted in the process of hugging Masie ,when she turned around to look at Elenie. Hermione looked outraged and her hand inched towards her wand. Masie also looked at Elenie ,bewildered, and then at Ginny and Hermione's clothes. They were out of date and very ugly (if she was to be honest to herself) ,but that wasn't the way to talk to a class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Lucie sensed the atmosphere change and to make sure there wasn't a fight replied, "Well Hermione has been off at her high-ranked school for the past year and wouldn't have had enough time to keep up with the fashion ,doing much more important things such as studying. But we shall look past that and be nice to her -wont we?". Lucie ended at a threatening note and glared at Elenie./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I am NOT going to the restaurant with them dressed like THAT" Elenie almost shouted./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""You won't have to" sighed Hannah ,who was always the peace maker of the group. Hermione and Ginny looked shocked and so did Masie, but Olivia ,who understood Hannah's peacemaking methods the most chimed in "Yes we will give them a makeover. The least we could do ,being their friends"./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Brilliant idea!" squealed Masie ,clapping her hands together. "There are a large variety of shops here ,so giving them a makeover shouldn't be too hard."/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Oh and that shop in the West wing sells the most beautiful dresses that will totally suit you ,Ginny. For Hermione …" Lucie babbled on until Elenie cut her off./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Whose paying?"/p
p class="p1"The girls looked at each other ,each hoping they weren't going to be given the bill./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I think we should each pay a seventh of the bill - even you Elenie" Hannah offered/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""But it wasn't even my idea to give her a makeover" Elenie protested./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Neither was it mine, but I am still paying" argued Lucie/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Give it up, you two. Elenie, we are going with Hannah's idea" Olivia stopped the argument before it could get any worse./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Alright" sighed Elenie./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"The boys were watching the girls and listening to their conversation eagerly./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I couldn't disagree with that girl. Is that really what Granger and Weaslette would wear to a Girl's Night out" sneered Harry./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Well my twin has never had any proper taste in clothes" Ron cringes./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Granger doesn't look like a model though ,either." Adds Draco./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Oh that muggle girl is picking on the wrong girl ,Weaslette is going to storm at her. I really want to watch this." Harry says watching the scene eagerly./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Oh dammit, the blonde stepped in or I was sure Granger was going to have her" Draco exclaimed./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Oh no see what that brunette is saying. They are going to give the two of them a makeover." Ron exclaimed "Mum is not going to like this"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I really want to see the outcome" Draco watched them eagerly/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Me too. I wonder if they can even make a difference."/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"The boys then stop talking and hold their breath as the girls walk past into a near by shop./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Here you can easily get the simplest clothing. Not too fancy for a party ,but still fashionable." Marie recited as she lead the group into the shop. Elenie was at the back ,trying to find the best moment to slip away from the group. Olivia ,however had an eye on Elenie and brought her back to the group whenever she started to wander. Olivia had known Elenie since they were in Year 3 ,so they knew each other almost as well as Masie and Hermione knew each other. Hermione had always felt sorry for Olivia ,but Olivia never seemed to mind Elenie's class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Soon Lucie had found these really 'cute' dresses for the two of them to try on. Hermione had found them too fancy for a 'light meet up' ,as Marie had said ,but tried it on anyway. Ginny was thinking quite the same thing as they went into the changing room ,but didn't want to upset her new friends (who were being so generous for a mere new-comer like her). The two best friendsspan class="Apple-converted-space" /spanexchanged identical looks of 'Help me' before they changed into a glittery dark blue dress and a plain red dress with a large cross on the back respectively. When they came out, the girls all gasped (except for Elenie who simply stared at them with shock). "We have to take these ,though I would consider a different colour for Ginny's dress as dark blue doesn't go well with her hair colour" Masie squealed. "Yes we are taking these ,but I wouldn't like them to spoil these on today. We should get them something a bit more casual for today." Hannah thought aloud. "Good idea, I was considering these!" Lucie exclaimed excitedly ,holding up another pair of clothes. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other both knowing that it was going to be a long night for both of them./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"The boys were still outside waiting for Ginny and Hermione to exit the shop so they could follow them again. "They could've taken a different exit" Harry moaned "We should've gone with them into the shop. We may've got so many different pictures…"span class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p1""Harry, you know we can't follow them know ,so stop moaning" Draco butted in 90 minutes after the girls had gone into the shop./p
p class="p1""Oh look they are coming out at last" Ron said standing up from the bench they were sitting on and flinging the cloak on them. "Woah!"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"The girls were standing around Ginny and Hermione standing around them like they were a project they were handing in. Even Elenie looked impressed. The girls had done a good job. Ginny was wearing short denim shorts and a loose white top with short sleeves. Light pink lipstick was faintly applied on her lips and her newly-done red locks were hanging down loose resting on her shoulders elegantly. Hermione was wearing a tightly-fitted red dress with noodle straps and hung above her knees. Blood red lipstick was smeared on her lips and her hair was newly-curled and trimmed hanging loose. The boys were class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I never knew muggles had such a good taste of clothing" Draco gasped./p
p class="p1""They look different don't they ,but I think we should focus on the mission ahead." Ron smirked at his two friends who were looking at the girls with open mouths. At Ron's words, they regained their thoughts and pulled themselves together./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Let's go to the restaurant know" Elenie pointed out rudely "We are late -very late!"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""It's your fault we are late ,although I enjoyed the evening so I don't mind" Lucie replied kindly. The girls waked into the shop in a good mood. After the main course, they ordered some whisky. Just before they ordered, Hermione noticed a dash of pale blonde hair flash past behind Masie. She looked at Ginny ,but Ginny was engaged in a highly interesting conversation with Hannah about something Hermione couldn't make head or tail of. She nudged Ginny. Ginny looked at class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Hermione whispered in her ear "I saw a tuft of impeccably blonde hair on the table behind Masie. I know this sounds weird ,but I think it might have been Malfoy"span class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Ginny gave her a knowing look "Potter has an invisibility cloak ,they may have followed us using that cloak"span class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Hermione looked suspicious. "How do you know that?"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Ronald is not the best person to confide your secrets in. He was shouting at Potter for not telling him about owning an invisibility cloak yesterday"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Potter, Malfoy and Ronald will pay for this"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Hermione, we don't know whether they are here or not"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Then we shall have to find out ,Ginny, Let's go to that table and see if anything moves and if it does we reach out and grab that cloak"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Alright"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"The two of them get up after giving excuses to move to a different table. Hermione looks at the bench uneasily. Draco, Harry and Ron (who were indeed sitting there) gave each other stunned looks. How did Granger know they were there? Ginny sat down on the opposite bench to where the boys were hiding. Hermione was to sit on that bench. She sat down warily ,scooting up the bench. Draco ,who sat down closest to her ,ushered the other two to move up but they looked back at him smirking. Granger was still scooting up towards him and he pushed the boys up the bench ,but to no avail -they had reached a wall. Hermione scooted up the bench ,until her hip met something hard. She looked at the place ,there was nothing there -or so it looked like. She looked at Ginny with an apprehensive expression then plucked at the air and pulled the cloak off the boys. The moment she saw who she was sitting next to, she hurried away from Malfoy and perched herself o the edge of the bench./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I -Uh -You -What are you doing here?" She whispered loudly ,trying to make sure her friends didn't hear./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Can we not eat ,Granger?" Asked Malfoy sarcastically ,still smirking at the way she had hurried away from him./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Under an invisibility cloak?" Asked Ginny ,her arms crossed./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""We wanted privacy ,Weaslette" retorted Harry ,rolling his eyes./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""And so did we. We are not fools ,Potter, it is obvious you were spying on us" Ginny scowled./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"Just as Harry was about to retort back ,Ron butted in."There is no point arguing ,Harry, my twin knows people too well"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Ronald, I never knew you knew that much about me" Ginny gave him a sarcastically appraising smile./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"At that moment, Masie turned around "Hermione ,Ginny who are you -" She stopped mid sentence looking at the 3 boys at the table. "Who are they?" She wanted an explanation ,but before Hermione could give one ,Elenie pranced over to their table and asked whether the boys would like to join them. Looking at the horrified expression on Weaslette and Granger's faces, Potter agreed. They got up and sat down next to Ginny and Hermione ,who had reached the table before them. Ginny gave them a look of disgust ,which everyone but Hannah missed. Hermione ,who was sitting next to Malfoy again shuffled up so close to Ginny ,they could hardly eat without knocking elbows at every mouthful. Draco didn't help either. At every moment he could, he shuffled closer to Hermione, tormenting her and smirking as he did so -Girls were so easy to annoy. They started chatting./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""So who are you guys exactly" Hannah asked ,pointing the question at Hermione ,but Draco answered./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""We are friends from school" The reaction on that table was instant. Hermione gaped at Malfoy ,while Ginny looked ready to punch him in the face. Harry however looked like he was trying to control his laughter behind his hand and Ron was shocked and amused at the same time -a smile played around his mouth. Hannah looked disbelieving ,but carried on none the less./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""So you met in that rich American boarding school Hermione went to?" Elenie asked ,suddenly more involved in the conversation./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Yes we unfortunately did" snarled Hermione ,knowing that picking a fight with the boys in a muggle restaurant wasn't going to end well ,but couldn't control her anger. Olivia saw her distress and trying to help her asked whether anyone would like to go late night bowling to get to know each other. Ginny and Hermione gave each other alarmed looks while the boys smirked at class="Apple-converted-space" /span/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""No, sorry but we better be heading back now or else we will be late. Come on ,Ginny" Hermione gestured towards the door ,hoping against hope that the boys didn't indicate that they were staying at the same house for the summer. Potter almost sensing her anger added "We better be going now ,too. You lead the way girls. You found your way here before us"/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""You are staying together?" Asked Elenie horrified/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Well, Ronald and Ginny share the same house and as we are their friends we went to their house for the summer" Ginny said with clenched teeth/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Could you bring them along next time? We hardly got to know each other." Lucie asked hopefully/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Of course, we will come!" Harry smiled/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Okay, next Wednesday Bowling Alley. See you there!" Waved Masie. After goodbyes they left the restaurant./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""How dare you suck up to our friends like that ,you bastards" Hermione growled./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""You are such a lot of dingbats" Ginny insulted/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""The moment we get back to school we will-" Hermione threatened/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""What will you do ,Granger?" Ron chided/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""UGH!" Hermione shouted apparateing with Ginny on the spot leaving her bag full of new clothes behind./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Now that was fun" Ron smiled tired./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Absolutely!" Draco sighed/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""Granger left her shopping behind. Let's take a sneak peek" Harry opened the bag and the most fashionable clothes spilled out./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I must admit, those muggles have good taste" Ron said./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""I want to see Granger wearing these." Draco admitted/p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1""And Weaslette" Harry added ,taking out a very slim blood red dress./p
p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"A/N: Halfway through this I realised that they wouldn't have been able to apparatus or drink wine ,because they are underage in the wizarding and muggle world ,so could you simply ignore it. And I have used some of my friends name here. Could you please remember that I have simply used your names and not replicated your personality here as well ,so don't take any offence ,please./p
