*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Hogsmeade Visit! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco was walking ahead of everyone; he seemed to be in a hurry for some reason.
"Slow down Draco" shouted Harry
"Oh I'm sorry, I was in a daze" Draco lied
Really all he wanted was to see Roxy, he had known her for a week nearly and he still didn't know why he liked her, in fact he thought to him self, he loved everything about her. the way she dressed, the way she smiled, the way she laughed the way she talked, even the way she wore her hair. Everything! As they approached the leaky cauldron Draco froze, then all of a sudden he started shaking. he was nervous, what was he going to say to her?
"Come on" said Harry "you're not chickening out are you?" he said playfully
"Course not" said Draco its only the leaky cauldron, I mean why would I be afraid of going into the leaky cauldron?
"Because you've got the hots for Roxy, and she's sitting at a table in there waiting for you!"
"US" said Draco correcting Harry; "she's waiting in there for us Harry"
But before he knew it Harry had pushed him into the swinging doors of the leaky cauldron and he had no choice but to keep on walking.
"Hiya" said Roxy as Draco sat next to her
"How long have you been waiting here?" asked Hermione?
"Not too long, I had a little bit of shopping to do, it's my mum and dad's wedding anniversary on Sunday so I had to buy them something nice, so what are we going to do today?"
"I know!" said Ron excitedly, "we'll have a few butterbeers and then go ice skating."
"Ice skating?" said Elisabeth, "What's that?"
"It's something muggles do for fun during the winter, they wear boots with a long blade on the bottom of each one, and they glide along the ice in them."
"Sounds weird but I don't mind giving it a go," said Draco
"Me neither" said Hermione
"Ok, skice sating it is" said Harry stupidly
"Ice skating Harry" said Roxy correcting him "I have to go to Eeylops owl Emporium I want to price another owl, its not for me its for Chu Chang, will you come with me Elisabeth?
"Sure, hey guys we're going over to Eeylops, we won't be long." Said Elisabeth
"Ok, no problem" said Harry
But no one seemed to notice that Roxy and Draco weren't listening, they were engaged in their own conversation and they didn't know that Harry and Ron were still there. Thirty Minutes passed and Hermione and Elisabeth were already back from Eeylops, they were on their third butter beer and Draco and Roxy had barely touched their first one. But this wasn't long changing when Harry decided that he was fed up.
"Guys, can we go skice sating. I mean ice-skating now? I'm bored"
"Yea ok" said Hermione, "wait a minute. how are we getting there?"
Everyone looked towards Ron for an answer but he was puzzled.
"I'll go ask Tom," said Roxy
"Hello Roxy what can I get you? Butterbeers for every one again?"
"No thank you Tom we're leaving, we want to go ice skating but we don't know were to go, we were wondering if you could help us,"
There's a place called Dundonald ice rink at the other end of Hogsmeade, you can go by floo powder out the back if you like,"
"Floo powder? Is it not in the muggle world?"
"No. a wizard called Dedalus Dundonald was inspired by the muggle ice skating rink and decided to make his own rink here in Hogsmeade its exactly like the muggle place only it has floating snowmen and snowflakes above the rink."
"Great, can we go by floo powder out the back then?"
"Yea sure come on through"
"Hey guys come on!" said Roxy
Tom brought them through to a room at the back of the leaky cauldron, "just say Dundonald ice rink ok?" said Tom
"Yea thanks tom," said Hermione
"Enjoy yourselves!" said Tom as he left the room
