"Are you ready to go?" I called Hermione from downstairs.
"Coming!" She raced down the stairs.
"Ok, let's go have some fun." I grinned. We made it to Hogsmade as fast as possible.
We went inside the dress store and looked around. I wasn't sure of what I wanted. I wanted to be pretty, but not too flashy. I couldn't find the right dress, but I couldn't just settle for any old dress.
"I can't find anything." Hermione complained.
"Here. I saw the perfect one for you up in the front. I'll be right back." I told her.
I went over to the rack and found a beautiful light blue dress. It had two very thin straps, and it went all the way to your feet. It was perfect for her. She would look great in it.
"Go try this on." I pushed her towards the dressing rooms.
"Are you serious?" She asked with wide eyes.
"Dead serious. Now go try it on." I smiled.
She came out in a few minutes and forced a smile. I made her do a little twirl and everyone around seemed to stop what they were doing. They all seemed to notice that she seemed to glow in that dress. She looked like someone off the cover of a muggle fashion magazine.
"That dress is very you. You should get it." I commented.
" I think I will." She eagerly said and went back into the changing room.
I went and found the perfect dress in a beautiful section near the dressing rooms. It was a deep bluish purple. It was strapless and trailed two feet behind my feet. It was elegant, classy, bright, dark, and completely perfect! I knew when I saw it that it was the dress for me.
"I think Oliver will like that one." Hermione smiled as she took a better look at the dress.
"What makes you think I'm trying to impress Oliver?" I tried to hide it, but a smile made it's way to my face.
"I saw the way you looked at him last night. He had that same expression. You smile when you're around him, when you think about him, at the mention of his name." Hermione knowingly grinned.
"Is it that obvious?" I said finally giving up all hope of persuading her to think I didn't like him like that.
"No. No one else can see it. It's just that I'm going through the same thing." She assured me.
"I'd better go try this on. I'll be out in a second." I called behind me.
I went in and tried it on. It was perfect. It was tight around all the right places. I looked slim and delicate. I loved it. I hoped Oliver would too. I stepped out so Hermione could see.
"Perfect." She nodded approvingly.
"Great!" I giggled and went to change back into my normal clothes.
When I came out we went to the counter and paid for our dresses. Then we decided to go to the jewelry store. Nothing in there looked right with my dress, but I found some great stuff for Hermione. I talked her into getting a pair of silver earrings, bracelets and a necklace. I knew she would look great the night of the dance. Ron was going to die when he sees her.
After we left the jewelry store we went into one last store. It was a candy store. Inside held every candy imaginable. We bought a total of ten pounds of candy. We deserved it after all we've been through, and after all we were soon going to do. It was getting late so we headed back.
"Ok, you have to ask Ron tomorrow. Oliver and I will wait wherever you want us to and if it doesn't go well then you can come back with us and we'll think of something else. If it does work come back and tell us all the details." I instructed.
"Ok. I'll tell you where to meet me tomorrow morning." She smiled and we were off to our separate rooms.
