I woke up and started thinking of what to do. As it was almost Christmas, I
decided to stay for Christmas, but leave the day after to go home for new
years.
Christmas day came and I received many gifts, but I hardly noticed I was anticipating the next day so much I could hardly bear it.
I woke up the next morning at 4:35 and couldn't get back to sleep so I took to pacing around the dormitory. I made sure everything was packed at least 5 times before someone else woke up at 6:30.
When I got down to the common room, Harry and Ron were there and said they wanted to say goodbye. I smiled sweetly and hugged them both good-bye. I made sure I gave Harry an extra long one, but not long enough to make him notice.
I was picked up by my parents at Hogwarts that day. Dumbledore arranged for just us to be connected with flew powder for just that hour.
"Well, 'Mione, what do you want to do?" My mom asked me.
"Let's go to the mall, the muggle mall." I told them right off and they looked at me like I was crazy.
"Well. why? Are you tired of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade?" My parents looked awestruck.
"Well, I just, want to get some new clothes and things like that. PLEASE!" with that I gave them a puppy face. They gave in and said we could go the next day.
I had never seen anything as amazing as this. There were so many stores with so many styles and items and brands. I tried to hide my amazement, but I was obviously doing a terrible job. We came to a store that looked like it had pretty "cool" clothes for muggles. I decided to try some. I got a pair of tight low pants, a baby tee, and some cute tan flip-flops. I saw myself and was amazed. No clothes in the wizarding world would have ever looked this good on me! I wouldn't let my parents see, as they would have highly disapproved.
Then we got to a hair salon. This was my chance. I went in and asked to get my hair permanently straightened and to get highlights. They told me it would be 35 dollars and I fumbled for a few seconds and then finally got the right amount. They finished my hair and then I looked at myself in the mirror.
