Chapter Three
One week before the Dance
"Robe shop is right over here." Alana said, pointing toward a cozy looking shop tucked next to joke store. Ginny, pressed in-between Alana, Cassie, Janine, and Riley hurried toward the shop before it got to busy. Each of the girls had something in mind of what they wanted to be; Ginny was the only one who hadn't given it a thought.
She looked only half heartedly at the rows and rows of different color of robes, and other styles in the store, while the others giggled furiously trying on everything.
"So what are you going to be dear?" a kind, elderly woman asked coming up next to her. Ginny looked up startled.
"I don't think I'm going to be anything." Ginny said.
"Don't know what you want to be then?"
Ginny shook her head.
"Let me know if you have an idea, or if you'd like one dear." the shop keeper said and moved on to a fifth year Ravenclaw who looked as though she couldn't decide between a orange or green robe.
"Dances are stupid anyways." Ginny muttered to herself furiously, angry at how she felt about it all.
"Woah, tiger. Dances aren't that bad."
Ginny whirled around to see the grinning face of Ron. She rolled her eyes, "No one would dance with me," she said.
"Why wouldn't they?" Ron asked.
"They just wouldn't."
"I think your making up excuses."
"What are you doing here anyways?"
"I'm with Hermione. She wanted to look at the robes and Harry is still getting fitted for his costume." Ron said, letting her change the subject.
"What does she want to be?" Ginny asked, playing with the sleeve a violet colored robe on the rack next to her.
"She won't say. That's why I can't watch what she chooses, so I decided to pester my sister who doesn't want to go to the dance."
"What are your costumes suppose to look like?" Ginny asked, not letting the subject be brought up again.
Ron smiled, "You'll see, if you go to the dance."
"Damnit Ron."
"It's not a big deal, Gin."
"Yes it is."
"I don't understand why it would be." Ron said.
"It'll be just like the last one, I'll be ignored." Ginny said bitterly.
"You had a date."
"Neville." Ginny snorted. "He's nice, but what's so great about your feet being stepped on and the constant streams of apology's?"
"I'll save you a dance."
"My dream come true." Ginny said sarcastically. "The dance with my brother."
"Come on." Ron said defensively.
"You come on, I don't want to go."
"This isn't about a date is it? I heard you're a big flirt, it wouldn't be that hard to get one."
"Who told you that?" Ginny asked, blushing.
"You think I don't know these things?" Ron laughed. "Besides, you don't have to bring a date, its not required so you won't be a freak without one."
"That's comforting."
"Do you really want a date? Harry doesn't have one, I can ask him."
"No." Ginny said blushing even more.
"Why not?" Ron pressed a knowing grin on his face.
"If I wanted Harry as a date I would have already asked him."
"You are such a liar." Ron grinned.
"He's going with Cho anyways." Ginny murmured.
"I told you he doesn't have a date, Gin."
"I don't WANT a date, Ron Weasley." Ginny ground out.
"Fine, but you have to go. You owe me a dance."
"I thought you said you were saving me a dance."
"I was, but now you owe me one since we didn't dance last time. So I'll see you there." Ron said, glancing over at Hermione who now was holding a bag, standing at the door, and waving for him to hurry up.
"I'll think about it." Ginny sighed.
"No, you got to think about it for a week, you're going." Ron said. "One sec, Herm."
"Ron..."
"Ginny..."
Ginny sighed. "Fine, I'll go." she said raising her hands in defeat.
"Not that hard," Ron nodded a comforting smile on his face. " Take it easy tiger." he added before hurrying toward the impatient Hermione.
"Take it easy, arg I hate him." Ginny muttered to herself.
"I think I'm going to be a gypsy." Alana's voice said dreamily from behind her. Ginny turned to see Alana looking intently at the rows of robes, with Cassie scribbling something down on a piece of parchment. Alana glanced up noticing Ginny staring at them. "Hey, Ginny!"
"Alana," Ginny nodded.
"What do you think about me being a gypsy? Cassie said she could hook me up with some cool accessories from her home." Alana asked.
"You'd look great." Ginny smiled, half-heartedly.
"Ooh make sure to get hoop earrings, I just got my ears pierced." Alana said suddenly to Cassie, after seeing her scribble it down she got a glazed look and began to mutter off the things she had listed.
Cassie finished writing whatever it was looked up at Ginny. "So are you going to the dance then?" Cassie asked a secret smile tugging at her lips.
"Yeah," Ginny sighed. "My brother forced me to."
"I heard him arguing with that one girl he came here with about you not going. I figured he'd talk to you so I kept nosey Alana occupied." Cassie said, pointing at the parchment. "We're making a list of stuff we need that I'm going to ask my Mother to send me."
"What are you going to be then?" Alana asked suddenly, snapping back to reality.
"Er," Ginny blinked. "I'm not sure."
"You only have this week to prepare for it you know." Alana frowned.
"What would I look good as?" Ginny asked.
"Hmm." Cassie said, studying her intently.
"A mermaid." Alana giggled. Ginny blanched.
"A mermaid?!" she cried.
"Yeah, like that one from the muggle movie 'The Little Mermaid' or whatever." Cassie nodded.
"Forget I asked." Ginny groaned.
Oh the humanity! Thank you for all the reviews students! FF.Net is lacking, lolol
Whatever will Ginny do? Forced to go to that danced by her big mean brother, who was by the way with Hermione, ooooo. Actually I just noticed this as I am writing this bit right now, weird? So what should Ginny do? Any suggestions on what she would look like? Should she ask Harry? Should Harry ask her? Should Ron ask Harry for Ginny or Hermione ask Ginny for Harry? Who knows, I'm confusing myself, I'll stop. SPANKIES FOR REVIEWS.
