CHAPTER 25- HOGSMEADE FUN
HERMIONE'S POV
Finally it was Saturday. We might not be leaving for Durmstrang for another week, but we all plan to have good fun this weekend, that's for sure.
As I walked to open up the great big sheers of my balcony in my long oversize Quidditch Tshirt that went down to my knees, I realized that it was another blistering hot day. I had wake up early and the sun was seeking out from the earth and shinning directly to me. I put my elbows on the ledge and looked below me. I could see the carriages all getting ready for Hogsmead, Hagrid down there, taking care of the horses and feeding them. I had a feeling today would be a great day.
"Hey" I turned to my side and it was Draco walking in my direction, that was the problem about our shared balcony, no privacy, and sometimes it would be awkard to run into each other, when all I wanted was to be alone sometimes, like right now.
"Hi" I said back, leaning against the ledge.
"Beautiful day isn't it?" asked Draco.
"It sure is." I said breathing in the mist from around me. "But it's unbelievably hot today once again. Im sweating and it's not even midday yet, Im gonna look like a wreck by the time the evening comes along, haha!"
He laughed with me.
"Yes it is really hot, I don't understand why the weather is acting so strange. It's nearly November, and look at it! Grass is still green, no fresh breeze, trees have leaves, animals still playing wildly, rather strange if you ask me." He explained.
"I guess so" I looked at him as he searched the land with those stormy eyes of his. He looked amazing in his black boxer shorts and black tshirt, I tried not to stare, but he caught me and smiled and asked,
"So, who are you going with to Hogsmeade?" he eyed me as if he knew the unpleasant answer.
"Oh I don't believe in going to Hogsmeade you need a date, so Ron and I are going as friends." I explained in a totally innocent way.
"Sure." He said looking down in dissapoint.
"And you?" I raised my head. "Who are you going with?"
"Uhhh, Pansy Parkinson, as friends." he explained avoiding eye contact with me.
"I see, well I better go, Ron, Harry and Ginny will be waiting for me, and I still have to decide what to wear and take a shower." I nervously answered him and began to walk towards my room.
"Well see you later, bye" and he was already walking off when he finished his sentence.
LATER IN THE GRIFFINDOR COMMON ROOM
As I walked toward the Fat Lady painting I felt flushed and really warm already. The school halls were incridibly cool but humid and wet and the same time. I knew that in Hogsmead would be just as hot so I was dressed for it. First of all I put my hair up into a high pony tail, and I even tried to pin up messily some of my bangs to my head, since the feeling of any kind of hair on my neck and face in this heat was quite bothersome.
I wore a baby pink halter top with frills of fabric going from the front all away to the the back, with a alittle bow at the neck in a fushia color. The it went around my neck and tied in a loop at the back with the strings hanging down. My upper back was exposed & the bottom half was covered by femine baby pink frills. Then I wore a khaki green capris, that stopped at my knees. They were tight fitting and comfortble, with a matching fushia belt that went with the bow at my neck. Between my shirt and and pant you could see some exposed skin as I walked but not too much to be distasteful. I also wore black sandals, with a heal that was probaly measured to be an inch, and they had thick straps around my foot and ankle. I did not wear any makeup for it was too hot, all I had was some shiny lipgloss.
I said the password to get into the Griffindor Common room and as I walked in I heard Ginny and Ron talking.
"Im so happy that Harry is my date, this is soo exciting!" I heard Ginny say excitedly.
"Ya don't get your hopes up that high and,.." I walked in. Ron stood and stuttered. "..an..d.an.d"
"Hey guys!" I said and smiled brightly at them and giggled to myself at Ron's stuttering. Times like this I had a feeling Ron liked me. But then again he did the same thing with any girl, he was quite a clumsy talked at times.
"Wow, Hermione you look great!" he said when he finally came back to his normal fun self.
"Thank you!" I said and smile. Then changing the subject. "Where's Harry?"
"Oh he went to take those Capsules Professor Evee got for him!" Ginny explained to excitedly at the sound of Harry's name. "He told us to wait for him by the carriages once you've got here!"
"Alright! Let's go!" Said Ron getting up, Ginny and I following him. "This is going to be one great day!!"
AT HOGSMEADE
DRACO'S POV
"This place always looks so dreary. Don't you think?" asked, well I don't know who she was, but she was Flint's date. A girl with wicked dyed pink hair, spiked all around, and when she wasn't wearing her robes, she had many black and silver bracelets and a ring in her nose. She wore a black fitted tank top, (looked good on her), and a kilt looking short skirt, with balck patches, no nylons, just big black combat boots. I thought she was exactly Flint's type.
"My thoughts exact baby" he agreed with her, sincerily not, I could not say. He just put his arms around her shoulders.
"I guess it's alright" replied Pansy. I have to admit she looked really nice today too. She navy blue Tshirt with a bands logo on it, and jean short shorts and a pair of sandals. Her black satin hair behind her, her pale face, without a trace of a tan anywhere.
"Well where are we going?" I muttered outloud.
"Where do you think Malfoy dear, all us girls want to go boy our dresses for the ball at Durstrang, so that means you guys should go off and play around somewhere!" Pansy explained as it were obvious.
I did not answer her I just wanted to make my way away from the carriages as much as I could, cause I did not want to see Hermione and Ron together, it maybe just make me snap and want to kill someone.
I put my hand on Pansy's back gently, so she would get the idea to start moving forward, and she did. And much to my shock, she didn't but much attention to me touching her, which was actually very good for me.
HERMIONE'S POV
"What a day huh?" asked Harry as we stepped out of the carriage wipping his forehead, but patting down his hair again, making sure his scar was covered.
"What day? It's incredibly hot, that's what kind of day it is unfortunately!" replied Seamus who helt Pavarti's hand as he walked past Harry in direction to where she was pulling him.
"Why are all the girls going in the same direction?" asked Ron.
"Oh, it's because of that stupid ball at Durmstrand" I replied suprising Ron and Harry.
"I thought that was your cup of tea!" said Harry putting his eyebrows together.
"Ya, I thought you liked getting all dressed up and fancy?" asked Ron with a bewildered face.
"Well I do, but I don't know, not in the mood to buy a dress right now." I said, because buyign a dress, meant finding a date, and finding a date meant, that I could not go with who I wanted, Draco.
All this was ignored, "Come on Hermione, Ill go with you!!" and she began pulling my hand toward the store.
Practiclly the entire female student body of Hogwarts was going toward the dress shop, telling their boyfriends and dates to go away.
I looked at the shop from the outside. It was small and of big purple shiny stones with a big sign on top in golden handwriting that said "Misses Dresses". It had a window looking in and you could see three manaquins wearing the most amazing dresses I have ever seen, they were beautiful, I couln't imagine myself ever wearing such things, not even to my wedding.
As Ginny and I walked inside, the aroma of strawberries and sun rushed toward us, making me feel happy and giddy from it. I was no longer hot, since the store felt air condionned, and it was nice and breezy and cool, I liked it.
I saw Pansy Parkinson already inside with some girl with bright pink hair, they have already bought there dresses, but was being told by the store attendant that they would be sent to Hogwarts, and by the time that they get to their rooms It would be there. Then both looked excited, and as the rushed out towards the door, Pansy knocked me with her shoulder purposely and left, me glaring behind her. I could see her running towards Draco and Flint outside who waited unpatiently for them. She saw Draco and hugged him, and he did not seem to object, but the began making there way to another store.
"UGH!" I said outload.
"What's wrong?" asked Ginny as she roomed through some dresses.
"Oh nothing" I said ignoring my own self, I turned around to look at some dresses, and right before me, I saw it, the most beautiful piece of clothin I had ever seen in my entire life.
"Whoaaaah!" I exclaimed happily. I went towards the dress and did not touch, maybe In fear to break or rip it, "I think I found my dress Ginny!" I smiled happily at her.
"Hmmm.." she answered turning away from her own find. "Whoah, that is pretty Hermione!! What do you think of mine?" she said pulling it towards her.
"Beautiful!" and we both giggled and made our way with our dresses towards the cashier.
AT THE THREE BROOMSTICKS
"Here you go maladies!" said Ron putting a Butterbeer in front of Harry and I while Ginny was talking to her friends at another table.
"Uhhh Maladies Ron? But Im here too." Harry said pointing out that Ron called him a girl.
"I know, haha!" he said laughing making me laugh.
Everyone seemed to be haing such a good time. All the student were having Butterbeers around us, while the teachers had teas and coffees, except Professor Evee, she was haivng a Butterbeer herself. She seemed a lot more giddy and happy today, and I did not know why.
Even in the undieing heat she looked great. How she could stand her hair down on a day like this I wouldn't know. Her was down and trailing down her back, and she wore a red jewelled bandana on her head, with huge looped earings with red stones that jingelled when she moved her head. She wore a spaghetti strapped black tanktop with matching stips of black leather around her wrists and her neck, over top her shoulders was a red shawl, with multi colored dark jewels. As always she wore a long dark red colored skirt that flowed all awey jut below her knees. It was skirt of many fabrics, and it looked as it were ripped and piece of different shades of red lingered from it, it was great. And on her feet she wore red satin slip ons, totall flat with no heal at all.
Professor Snape was beside her, awfly too close to her. He didn't ever seem to get the message that she was not interested in him. He just talked and talked as she ocassionally looked towards the door as if expecting someone to arrive soon.
I was sitting beside Ron leaning agaisnt him while he had his arm around my back laying on the top of my chair. I didn't mind at all. Harry though, looked awfly uncomfortable as Ginny kept cuddling to him, and he tried to steadily move away, until he moved so far he fell off his seat.
"HAHA, Harry are you alright?" I asked him, trying to get through my fits of laughter as so did Ginny and Ron. But then for a moment, I noticed that the whole Three Broomsticks was awfly quiet. I looked up toward where Draco was sitting with Pansy, and they were both looking towards the door.
What was everyone looking at??
