Dreams of a Dragon
'Well! Now that we've got our dress robes, what did you want to do again? Oh, yea, look for accessories.' said Hermione as she and Ginny walked out of the store.
'I still can't believe that lady just gave those robes at half price! They were like, what? 25 Galleons or something?!'
'I know! That was really nice of her the way she gave me a discount because I was your friend! Do you think I should wear gold or silver with my robes?'
'I have absolutely no idea. We'll decide when we go inside.' said an excited Ginny standing outside one of the many jewelry stores in Hogsmeade. The two girls spent hours wandering round the many stores when it was finally time to go they were carrying at least 3 bags each. Each bag also had at least 2 more bags inside that! 'At least we know we spent enough money today!' said Ginny happily.
'You've been a bit busy haven't you?' making both girls jump with shock.
'George! Why do you always do that to me?! Don't you realize how much I'll have to pick up if you make me drop it?' cried a very annoyed Ginny.
'Hey! I was just saying hello! I guess we'll have to go charm someone else then, hey Fred!'
'Well go then, we won't miss you.' Ginny sneered after the twins disappearing backs.
'Come on, I think my arms are going to break soon if I don't put these bags down.' said Hermione.
3 hours later
'Oh! Finally! My arms really are going to break now!'
'Well, at least we got what we needed.' said Ginny optimistically.
'I think I'm just going to take these upstairs and put them on my bed and I'll unpack them after dinner.
'Yea. I think I'll do the same. I'll meet you in front of the entrance and we can go down together.' answered Ginny walking after Hermione and turning off into her dormitory where she bumped into Alyssia, one of her roommates, almost toppling over.
'Oh! Sorry Ginny! I didn't see you coming! Whoa. Where are all the bags from? You must have spent a fortune!'
'Actually. It was only about 60-70galleons.
'Your dad really did get a pay rise didn't he?'
'Oh, yea.' said Ginny happily.
'I'll leave you to your unpacking then.'
'See ya!' said Ginny dumping all her bags and rushing out of the room and down the stairs.' come on! Let's go! I'm starving.'
'Huh! You think you're starving! I could eat a hippogriff!' challenged Hermione. 'Finally!' she cried as she plonked herself down in a seat next to Parvati and began shoveling food onto her plate and eating it just as fast. Ginny moved along the table a little and sat down next to Kavisha, another of her roommates and started eating almost as fast as Hermione stopping only to shovel more food onto her plate.
'Someone's hungry.' stated Kavisha watching with amazement as Ginny heaped her third helpings of lamb onto her plate. 'What have you been doing?'
'Shopping' replied Ginny shortly before taking a swig of her pumpkin juice.
'What for? You must have been out all day then!'
'Yep...we were...looking for... dress robes... for the ...Yule Ball.' said Ginny in between bites.
'Slow down girl! You're gonna get indigestion if you don't slow down!' this, statement however had almost no effect on Ginny. 'Well, I'll see you later then! Don't overeat. You don't want to look like a pig for the ball do you?' This immediately made Ginny slow down and eat with a little more care. 'Bye!' said Kavisha laughing, her pretty brown head in the air.
Later...
'So. 3 weeks. Oh! I can't wait! This is so exciting!'
'In your point of view. You have Harry Potter to escort you and everyone gets to see you, and you get to lead the dancing.' said Kavisha 'I still get to dance. But none ever sees me as the leader of the crowd.
'No. Only like all the time. Even if you don't lead the dance. You still end up being asked to dance almost 20 times, and then half of the 20 ask you twice!'
Well, a lot of guys do ask me to dance. But not that many!' said Kavisha earnestly to Ginny.
'Well, if you don't want to listen to what I have to say. At least can you see what my Dress Robes look like?'
'Sure why not?' she watched as Ginny produced a beautiful sapphire blue gown that shimmered in the light. 'Wow! Were did you get robes like that? My mum sells robes. But not as good as this one!' exclaimed Kavisha.
'I got it from the end robe store at Hogsmeade.' Ginny said
'Really?! That's where my mum works! She absolutely loves all embroidery stuff, you know.' exclaimed Kavisha excitedly. Suddenly a small plastic bag fell out of the bottom of the dress. 'Hey. Ginny you dropped something.' she said picking up the small bag.
'Did I? What is it? I didn't by anything with a bag like that.' said Ginny curiously taking the bag from Kavisha. 'I think your mum might have dropped this into the parcel when she was wrapping it up. Or, maybe it's Hermione's. Maybe it accidentally dropped into my bag when we put them down. Cause we did drop them a bit hard.' she said to herself. 'I'll just go see if this is hers, do you want to come?'
'No, thanks. I've got Arithmancy homework. It's due tomorrow as well.' Kavisha groaned trudging to her bed and pulling up a stack of books.
'Well, I'll see you later then.' said Ginny running out of the room and up the stairs to Hermione's dormitory. 'Oy! Mione! I think you dropped one of your th-' Ginny didn't get to finish her sentence because just then she saw something she really didn't want to see. Hermione, one of her best friends, was sitting on her bed next to one of the Weasly twins (she couldn't tell who), and the worst part was that they were kissing! It wasn't a big toungy or anything, but Ginny could tell that this wasn't the first time they were doing it.
She ran out of the room before they could notice, and once again ran into Harry. 'Oomph! Jeez! Watch where you're g-, oh! Sorry Harry, I thought you were someone else.' Ginny said mumbling the last part.
'Ginny! What's wrong? You look like you just ran into a Dementor!' exclaimed Harry looking concernedly at Ginny's pale face and instantly turning her around and pushing her back up the stairs towards his dormitory. They passed George on the way up.
'Finally making your move are you Harry?' he said slyly into Harry's ear before slipping off so that he couldn't answer.
'So. What's wrong? You can tell me you know. I'm not going to tell anyone like some other people do.' he said as he remembered how Lavender had gone and told almost the whole grade when she had found out that he liked Cho.
'I don't know. I mean, did you know that Hermione makes out with George?'
'What! When! How!' pause. 'Why?' cried Harry. Startling Ginny out of her daze. 'Why didn't she tell me?! We're best friends!' he continued. 'What'll Ron say when she tells him! If she does.'
'I dunno. I mean, I'm kinda hurt that she hasn't told me.' added Ginny.
'Maybe that was their first time. Maybe it just happened while they were talking?' suggested Harry lamely 'Anyway. How did you find out! You weren't spying on them were you?' he said suspiciously.
'No! Of course not! I wouldn't spy on her. I was just going to ask her if this bag was hers. I found it in one of my bags.' She said deciding that she would see what was actually inside the bag.
'What is it?' said Harry leaning over her shoulder to look inside the bag. 'What on earth are they?' he said. Inside was one of those containers that held contact lenses. Ginny pulled it out and began unscrewing one side to look inside. 'Contacts?! We never went into an optometrist! How did she get this?' Ginny exclaimed staring at the blue colored contacts inside. 'Hey! These are the same color as my new dress robes!' she realized with a start looking up at a very confused Harry.
'Wait. Hold on a second. So you found these blue contacts.'
'Yep.'
'In one of your bags.'
'Yep.'
'And you thought that maybe it was Hermione's'
'Yep.'
'So you went to check with her.
'Yep.'
'And you walked in on them while they were making out?' he finished.
'Uh-huh.'
'Did they realize that you saw them?'
'No. At least I didn't see them see me.' She said
'OKaaaay.' He said looking at her once again. 'I know this a little off the subject. But I have to say it before I lose my courage again.'
'Say what?' said Ginny curiously.
'Ginny,youwangoouwime?' he said turning a brilliant red.
'Sorry, I didn't catch that.' She said realizing almost at once that she actually did understand what he had said and turning almost as red as he was.
'Ginny, I now that you have always liked me, and I guess that I've always liked you. It's just that I never realized. Ginny.' He said pausing. 'Do you want to go out with me sometime?'
I know it's going kinda fast sometimes. And somethings seem to be going nowhere. But I'm trying my best to make it sorta at least make sense! Hope you like it so far! I'm in the middle of writing Chapter4 so hopefully it will also be out soon.
'Well! Now that we've got our dress robes, what did you want to do again? Oh, yea, look for accessories.' said Hermione as she and Ginny walked out of the store.
'I still can't believe that lady just gave those robes at half price! They were like, what? 25 Galleons or something?!'
