Chapter 2: Ice Cream Fixes Everything
Disclaimer: I don't own them, Isn't that promoting slavery???
"Hey guys," Hermoine Waved to the group from the front of the Leaky Caldron. "I got here a few hours ago" She hugged the boys and Ginny. Tom the innkeeper showed them to their rooms, Ginny's room was in-between Hermoine's and Harry's. Hoping that Harry, Ron or Hermoine would invite her to go shopping with them she halfheartedly sat by herself on the stairs leading down to the restaurant. When Harry came out of his room he had changed into his wizarding robes, Ginny could feel her heart flutter and her cheeks begin to go red again. She focused on a flower on the wallpaper and the color left her cheeks. Harry smiled at her before heading towards Hermoine's room. Ron joined Harry in the hallway and once Hermoine finished getting money from her parents, the three left. Harry ruffled Ginny's hair a bit as they headed down the stairs.
"C'ya Ginn" a bit hurt at not being asked to go with them, Ginny stood up to head back to her room but was abruptly stopped by a voice behind her.
"Red Headed Step-Child!!" a huge smile crossed Ginny's face as she turned to see her best friend Taylor. Taylor was in the same year and house as Ginny and Muggle born.
"Flying Monkey!!" they hugged laughing. Taylor and Ginny went into the room that Tom unlocked and Ginny threw herself into a plush chair. Taylor fell back onto the bed and let her head hang over the edge so that she could see Ginny.
"How was your summer,"
"Pretty good," Ginny giggled "Fred and George are the same as always so that didn't help, but I baby sat a lot so I can get some pretty dress robes. What about you?"
"I went to a few Muggle Concerts, You got to take a look at these guys, they'll make you forget about Harry" Taylor laughed and pulled a plastic box out of her trunk. It had Muggle pictures on it and inside was a shiny round disc.
"What's this," Ginny raised an eyebrow at her friend, "a flat doughnut?" Taylor laughed.
"Its this Muggle object called a CD you put it in a player and it plays music" She produced another box, this one was silver and gray and put the 'CD' into it. "I really like this guy," She pointed to one of the five boys with spiked blonde hair. "His name is Lance," giggling "Isn't he hott!" Taylor giggled and put the headphones attached to the box on Ginny's ears. The soft melody's poured into Ginny's ears and as she listened to the lyrics it reminded her of Harry. "What do you think?" Taylor grinned wildly as she turned off the player.
"They sound really good, but I've always wondered about your taste in guys" Ginny giggled a bit at Taylor's expression. "The words reminded me a lot of Harry, what is the name of the band?"
"*NSYNC, I absolutely love them," She shifted through some more things in her trunk and found her coin purse, "Come on, lets go shopping we need to find you someone other then Harry"
"So what are we shopping for? School or Boys?" Ginny laughed as she grabbed her own purse and headed toward the door.
"Both!" In moments they were out side and heading toward the robe shop to buy new dress robes. Ginny tried on what seemed to be thousands of robes when a hint of green in the back of the shop caught her eye. As She walked toward them she could tell that they were exactly the color of Harry's eyes. 'Perfect!' She tried them on and they complimented her long red hair perfectly, with the approvement of Taylor and the shop keeper she bought them. Taylor ended up buying dress robes that were a shimmery dark blue that brought out the blue in her hazel eyes. The girls gossiped about when they thought the first ball would be as they continued to pickup supplies for school. It wasn't until they passed the Quidditch shop did they see Ron, Harry and Hermoine. Wanting to flirt Ginny pulled Taylor over into the shop.
"Here let me help you with that," Ginny heard Harry talking to someone,
"Aw Harry your such a sweetheart" Cho Chang answered him as he took several of the bags she was holding. Cho picked up a broom and examined it.
"That ones too bulky for someone as dainty as you" She heard Harry say helpfully as he handed Cho a smaller broom.
"Me dainty?" Cho rolled her eyes "I'm a chunker" she laughed playfully.
"No your not I think your perfect." There was a softer tone of sincerity to Harry's voice. Ginny rushed out of the store fighting back the tears that were trying to come, Taylor hugged her and the overwhelming need to cry overtook her.
"Why am being so stupid. The famous Harry Potter would never take a second glance at someone like me." Taylor gave Ginny a tissue.
"Hey don't say that, Lets go get sundaes and talk. Ice Cream fixes everything." Ginny giggled a bit,
"Well that's what I get for eavesdropping" Taylor happy that her friend was not so upset any more smiled and laughed with her.
"That's more like the Red Headed Step Child you're supposed to be,"
Authors notes: Sorry I couldn't resist the whole NSYNC thing it'll tie in with the rest of the story trust me. Thank you to every one who replyed, I'm aiming for 10 more for the next chapter.
