**** Chapter Three : Shopping ****
Hermione woke up, looking at her clock, it was almost 9:30 AM, "Oh my God! I'm half an hour late for class!" She said jumping out of bed. She looked at her clock once again and saw the eight loveable letters flashing 'Saturday' What a perfect way of waking up on weekend She thought sitting back down on her bed and shutting her eyes, she rested her head on her pillow once again. She was glad it was a Saturday, a -very- perfect day for resting.
The sleep didn't get to her again, she opened her eyelids and had a glance at her clock, and obviously, not half a minute had passed. She got out of bed, and made it up -making sure there was no wrinkles-. She walked toward the bathroom and shut the door, ready to have her daily morning make over.
"Lavender.Lavender.wake up, it's almost eleven o'clock" Hermione said nudging Lavender. "Go away." Lavender whined, not budging to wake up. "Come on!" Hermione shouted pulling off the covers. "Leave me alone.I want to sleep." Lavender mumbled. "Wake up, you lazy git." Hermione said. "Ugh! Give the girl time to sleep!" Lavender said, getting up violently. "Finally, do you know how long I have been here?" Hermione said, with a sigh of relief.
****
"So, why exactly did you wake me up earlier?" Lavender said propping up. "Oh yes! You reminded me! I thought we could go gown shopping today, considering that today is the last day before the ball." Hermione suggested. "Oh no, no, no, no, no! I have enough gowns to last me a decade, Hermione" Lavender said backing away. "Yes, but they are all at home in La La Land, plus you've had each one for about four years! I'm sure you have outgrown them by now.and oh, and I can just imagine those horrible dresses on you! Talk about bad taste!" Hermione gave in, showing a repulsive face of disgust.
"Ok, fine! If you think my beautiful dresses are -in your words- horrible," She said, noticeably angry. "Then let's go and buy even uglier ones!" She said adding in. "Oh shut-up, I have perfectly superb taste, which you can clearly not beat." Hermione said, a wide smirk stretched out on her face.

Hermione looked around the dark Great Hall, "If you think, sneaking out of Hogwarts-for a couple of lousy gowns-then you are definitely mistaken," Hermione said, peering around in case somebody heard her. "Not my problem, it was your idea to get new gowns anyway." Lavender said, gripping Hermione's hand securely. Hermione become hot at the sound of this statement. "Anyway," Hermione stated through graveled teeth. "Where on earth are you taking us?" She asked, curiously. Lavender thought, Exactly, Where are we going anyway? Lavender asked herself, Perhaps London. She decided. "London," Lavender said, blankly.
"London?!" Hermione shouted, "Are you out of your mind? How will we go to London anyway?!" She continued. "Simple, apparate," Lavender answered, looking around. "I tell you once, I tell you twice-you can't apparate on Hogwart's grounds." "Well then.we'll.uh.zap up a portkey." Lavender said unsure on her answer. "And how on earth do you expect me to do that?" Hermione said. "I don't know.common let's go outside," Lavender replied gripping the door and bashing it open.
"Okay we're outside now, what do we do?" Hermione said expressionlessly. "Well you know what to do.zap up the key.hurry up we only have twenty four hours to get there, to choose a dress, and to safely land back here." Lavender whined. "Lavender.do you even have money?" Hermione asked. "Well I, umm, I have one, uhh, one galleon." Lavender said, pausing every now and then.
"Lavender! Have you gone nuts! Did you drag me out here so you can think? Or..or.., shout at me for deciding this! Did you even realize that we don't even know how muggle money looks like or is called.whatever it's called?" Hermione fired at Lavender. "I, dunno." Lavender said. "Of course you don't know, as always, you never know.do you?" Hermione bellowed. "Okay, Hermione Listen to me--" Lavender said. "No! I don't want to listen to you anymore!" Hermione said crossing her arms and pointing her finger as Lavender, "Just Listen!" Lavender screeched, "NO!"
Lavender didn't care what Hermione said, so she just started explaining her plan. "Okay, so if London is impossible, we can go to Hogsmeade," Lavender Began. "I'm not listening-wait, we can't go to Hogsmeade, there's no way possible anyway." Hermione said. "Hermione, have you lost your brains?" Lavender said, Hermione growled, "I take that as an insult." She said and turned her back to Lavender. "No, don't, just listen, what about the witches hump..." Lavender said, Hermione knew she was right, she hated it when she was right. Hermione turned around. "What about the witches hump?" She said, already knowing the answer. Lavender glared at her, "Okay, fine let's go." Hermione said with boredom.
"Good morning ladies, I'm Loretta Browne. Welcome to 'Golden Castle' please have a look around." Loretta explained, accompanied by a strong American accent. Hermione smiled, and walked around carefully examining the dresses. She came across a maroon gown escorted by a maroon shawl. 'It would go with my hair, and it matches the Gryffindor colors.' She thought. "Lavender, come here I think I found the perfect dress," Hermione said. Lavender walked down the aisle to where Hermione was standing. "It's beautiful, it would be the perfect match," Lavender said smiling.
Hermione and Lavender wondered in the shop. "Hermione, look! Isn't it dah- ling?" Lavender said gripping a sleeveless Lavender gown. "We found our dresses, lets go!" Hermione explained her grin wide.
"Hey Loretta, I think we've made our choices, we'd like to buy these two gowns," Lavender beamed. "Of coarse, dear. That would be 5 galleons." Loretta explained. "Excuse Me? I don't think I heard you right..." Hermione said, her face pale. "I said, that would be 5 galleons," Loretta repeated.
****
"I'm sorry girls but I'm not selling you these dresses unless you give me five galleons," Loretta explained. "Ok, listen we'll make a deal, we'll use the dresses and return them on Friday. Is that ok?" Lavender asked. "Well I've never made a rent, and if the ministry find out they might shut me down." Loretta said, worried. "We'll make sure they don't find out. If they ask we'll just say we bought them, how much simpler could it get?" Hermione said.
"I suppose I could let you, only on one condition." Loretta said. "What's that?" Lavender said. "You don't ruin, spoil, crush, or destroy the gowns in any other way, do I make myself clear?" Loretta said. "How much more simple could you get?" Hermione said, with a smile. "And, I won't make any rents without any money, so I'll cost you one galleon." Loretta explained. "I think we can possibly get a galleon, anyway, it's a deal." Lavender replied.
Hermione and Lavender walked out the shop, "Wow, I'm glad we got that over! And we got such great gowns too." Lavender said with a sigh of relief. Hermione was about to say something but out of nowhere, Dobby popped up. "Miss Granger, Sir Dumbledore would like to see you. He said it was very urgent!" Dobby explained, while a shocked Hermione just stood there. She turned to Lavender and back at Dobby, but when she turned to Dobby he wasn't there. Lavender could see Hermione going pale.
"Oh dear, what could Dumbledore possibly need...oh, what will he say? Could he have possibly seen us? Will we get detention? Or will we get expelled? Oh no! I'd rather die!" Hermione wailed. "Oh would you shut that worrying mouth of yours! He won't say anything, now hurry up, we don't want anybody else to see us," Lavender said, "Anybody else?? Who saw us?" Hermione said, "Nobody, nobody saw us! Just, let's go!" Lavender said pushing her along the now entered hallway.
They reached the gargoyle. [A/N: In the movie it was a Ravenclaw statue, but in the book it was a Gargoyle...I decided to follow the book, so don't get confused.] "Okay, okay, now you have to go. Dumbledore wanted me and not you, so go!" Hermione said pushing Lavender. "Okay, okay, fine. I'll go find Ron, see you in the common room." Lavender said walking away. 'Oh God, what could Dumbledore possibly want from me! I really hope he didn't see us' Hermione thought, Whispering the password.
