AN I have only a faint idea, of what this is going to turn into. Plot wise, if anyone has suggestions, I would be very grateful and I'll give you the credit, otherwise enjoy. Hopefully I can make this chapter longer, than the others.
Chapter three shopping spree
After they all finished their meals. Arthur put a 40% tip on the table, which was quite a lot of money, considering how much the meal cost them. They turned down the street toward the Leaky Cauldron. They walked for quite awhile, looking through shop windows. Arthur was amazed, at all the muggle devices he could afford now.
They returned to the Burrow by floo. When they arrived home, they found Harry, Ron and the twins playing Exploding Snap, on the living room floor. Hermione was, of course, reading on the couch. After a couple of minutes of scolding by Molly, directed at the boys. Molly had forbidden the game from being played in the house. Last year Fred's bed caught on fire, and he is still sleeping on the floor. They cleaned up and stalked outside, to do some degnoming. Seamus followed them out as well.
Ginny looked to Hermione "Could you give me hand taking my stuff upstairs?"
Hermione stood up and grabbed one of Ginny's bags and started up the stairs "Sure" Hermione answered, "I want details about your trip!" She asked and winked, meaning, she wanted to know about the guys, she met. When they reached Ginny's room. They plopped the suitcases on her bed and began to unpack.
"So?" Hermione started in a definitely obvious hinting tone.
"So, what? What are you getting at?" Ginny knew exactly what she wanted to get to.
Hermione smiled she realized the game, but was impatient "Come on, Ginny, I want to know details, don't hold back! Even though I know we're both dating someone, we are still allowed to look. So tell me about the Scottish guys!" She sounded exasperated after saying all that.
Ginny gave in and told her about the guys, her grandfather introduced her to. But they didn't talk to her for long, because she kept mentioning her boyfriend back home.
"Why did you do that?" queried Hermione "I mean come on… if these guys were so good looking, I don't think Seamus is that much of a prize!" this shocked Ginny.
"Look just because you don't want me dating Seamus, now that Harry is finally starting to realize, what he's missing. I love Seamus, I wouldn't give him up for anything or anyone, except maybe Draco Malfoy."
The girls both giggled at this. Draco Malfoy was by far the most desired guy at school.
All the Gryfindor girls would kill for him, and all the Gryfindor guys knew that all too well.
Hermione smiled at Ginny "I'm sorry Gin, it's just hard listening to Harry complain about it all the time." The look on Ginny's face showed that she knew that, too. Harry and Ginny had basically switched roles. Now, he was the little lost puppy, blushing every time she talked to him.
Ginny shrugged "Anyway, I've got an idea. How about we get all dressed up and head to Diagon Alley for a girls night out?" Hermione looked confused. It was too early, for school shopping, they hadn't got their letters yet.
"Well I guess, but how will we have fun without any money? I can't spend what I have for school."
Ginny looked slyly at her friend. She had forgotten that she hadn't told her yet. She thought she'd wait though. "Well, let's go ask mom, she might want to go as well" Ginny headed for the door and was half way down the hall before a still confused Hermione got up to follow her out.
She found Ginny sitting at the kitchen table, waiting patiently for her mother to finish making her tea and sit down. Hermione sat down beside Ginny, just as the boys all flounced, into the house, through the back door.
Molly told them all to sit down and be quiet, and then left the room. This gave everyone time to look at each other questionably, before she returned with Arthur. Once everyone was settled. Arthur and Molly began explaining about all the money and about the new house and everything else, that Ginny had heard earlier. After they were done explaining, there were a lot of questions, to be answered. How much money they had was one of them.
They ignored that one glancing at Ginny. They didn't mention anything about Ginny's piece of the estate, and Ginny was somewhat relieved. They all decided to spend the rest of the day shopping.
Once they all got to Diagon Alley, they all stayed together, just long enough for their parents to go to Gringotts, to get some money, Once they gave each of the boys, including Seamus and Harry, 20 galleons each, the boys all took off, running.
The twins went to the joke shop and the rest to the quittich supply store. Hermione went in with Ginny and didn't ask questions, when Ginny went with a goblin and Arthur, to open her own account. "I'll meet you, at Madam Malkin's at 3." Ginny called to Hermione before she went into an office and out of sight.
After Ginny had successfully opened her own account and supervised the money being transferred into her vault, which she really disliked, because of the ride there and back. She did however; love seeing all the gold, she couldn't believe it was all hers.
Once she got back to the ground level. She arranged for an equivalent of a bankcard, took out 40 galleons. She shrunk it so it would it would fit in her purse and started for Madam Malkin's, but not before thanking her father, for his help. He then headed for Flourish and Blotts.
At 3 o'clock, Ginny entered the robe shop, where she found her mother and Hermione. She instinctively went to the sale racks, but caught herself and went to find Madam Malkin. "Excuse me? Could I possibly get your help, I want to get a few tailored robes." After she got a confused look from the seamstress she explained about that she had money and wished to spend it. She got herself 5 brand new gorgeous robes and also bought one for Hermione, even though she had to fight with her, for quite a while, until she agreed. Ginny insisted it was an early Christmas present. They both got makeovers and then bought the entire collection of make up and hair supplies used. They spent the day buying everything they wanted to get, until 5:30 when they met up with the guys to have dinner at the most expensive restaurant available.
They all had the best day. During dessert Ginny spoke up " well that was one heck of great shopping spree." Everyone agreed.
