Chapter Seven: Girls' Night Out
Penny and Ginny wandered back to the common room and walked into their bedroom immediately. Tonight was another outing to Hogsmeade, and this would be their first night out together, so did not want to waste a moment.
After sorting out their robes, and making designs on how to tailor Penny's old uniform, the girls were ready to leave. Penny had arranged to see Kat and Annabelle in Hogsmeade later, but first she wanted to go shopping with her best friend Ginny.
As they left, Ginny paused. "Penny?"
"Yeah Ginny?"
" 'Draccy' ? You don't fancy Malfoy do you?" asked Ginny with a wry smile on her lips.
"Oh don't be silly!" wailed Penny. But Ginny had fixed her with a fierce glare. "Well, he is handsome though isn't he?" grinned Penny.
"Hmmm... All the grief I got for fancying Harry, and now you do this to me!" pouted Ginny.
"Oh, well, it's probably nothing anyway." said a red-faced Penny. The pair began their walk into Hogsmeade.
"How long have you liked 'Draccy' then?"
"Well, every since you left us to chase Harry really. About a year I guess." Penny smiled. She looked relieved to tell someone at long last. "Oh please don't tell anyone will you?" she begged.
"And why shouldn't I? After the time I've had because of Harry?" grumbled Ginny, but she was only pretending and laughed "Of course silly! Guess I'll have to put up with you daydreaming about a boy for a bit then won't I?"'
"Yeah. Sorry. Anyway, enough of men! Let's go to the Three Broomsticks! It's great there!"
As the pair walked along the darkening lane into Hogsmeade, Ginny froze.
"What is it Ginny?" asked a startled Penny.
Wordlessly, Ginny pointed to two figures walking down the lane further up ahead. One was tall man, dressed in black and carrying a large leather bag. The other was a slim woman in an over flowery dress.
"Who are they?", asked Penny. The girls peered hard. "That can't be Snape with Trelawney can it?"
"Wow! It is!" smiled Ginny. "I wonder what's in Snape's bag?"
"Let's go find out Ginny!" gasped Penny.
The pair shadowed the couple into Hogsmeade as the sun finally went down...
