Chapter 10
Rilie woke first the next morning and rolled over. This woke Harry up so he lay back on his bed as Rilie put her head on his bare chest. Harry put his arm around her and neither said anything for awhile. "You still up for Quidditch today?" Harry asked her. "Yep," Rilie said. "I guess we'd better get up everyone is probably wondering where you are," Harry told her. And indeed he was right. Hermione was going crazy trying to figure out where she might have gone. After all she was her new friend. Ginny had refused to come out of her room and Ron had to try hard not to laugh at Hermione's frantic search for Rilie. When Harry came down Hermione pounced on him like a cat on a mouse. "Harry have you seen Rilie?" Hermione questioned him seriously. " 'Mione calm down," Harry said," She's in the bathroom getting dressed." "Oh, thanks Harry," Hermione called as she raced up the stairs to go talk to Rilie.
"Hogwarts letters," Ron said," Rilie got one too. I had no idea she
was going to Hogwarts with us. 'Mione will be ecstatic, but I can't
say the same for Ginny." "Yeah," Harry said," Are we going to Diagon Ally today?" "Most likely," Ron replied.
'Oh yeah, Rilie and I were going to go play Quidditch in the clearing later. You want to come?" "Sure it'd be good to get back on my broom," Ron said. "Hey, are you and 'Mione prefects again?" Harry asked him.
"I am, but 'Mione's not. Ginny got prefect too," Ron told him. "I wonder who the other Gryffindor prefect is," Harry said.
He opened his letter and read it through, same as always. He couldn't wait to get outside on his broom but he figured he might as well take Rilie her letter because they couldn't go out until they got back from Diagon Ally. He climbed the stairs and found Rilie was no longer in the bathroom. He went over to Ginny's room and knocked. "Rilie are you in there?" He asked. "Yeah, just a minute," Rilie said. So, Harry waited for her and a few minutes later she let him in." Sorry I was changing," Rilie told him. "That's all right," Harry said," I just thought I would bring you your Hogwarts letter. We're going to Diagon Ally later to get our stuff." "OK, thanks Harry," Rilie said and a moment later Hermione had come in and was forcing her to open her letter. Once open a red and gold badge fell out.
"Rilie you got prefect. Great job! I was prefect last year you get a lot of privileges others don't," Hermione exclaimed in joy.
Harry who had half-expected Hermione to be jealous grinned in relief. "So, I guess we'd better finish getting ready," Hermione said smiling from ear to ear. About an hour later Mrs. Weasley was calling for the five of them. They went downstairs together and left a little while later.
They arrived at the Leaky Cauldron about noon and decided to have lunch before shopping. Both Ginny and Hermione just had salads but Rilie decided to have a chicken sandwich. Ron seemed amazed that Rilie wasn't on some diet like all of the other girls that he knew were. So after a satisfying lunch the group went to Gringotts and then split up.
The girls got their books and potion ingredients first. Then they went to Madame Mulkin's robes to buy new dress robes for this year. Their letters had said that there were going to be many more balls this year as they wanted to strengthen inter-house connections. The girls browsed around for a while before Madame Mulkin herself came over to help them. "Would you girls like some help?" Madame Mulkin asked.
"Yes, please," Hermione answered for all of them. Rilie didn't really need help but thought it would be fun to have someone pick out things for her to try on. "I'll take the young one first," Madame Mulkin said as she took Ginny to the back. After a little while Ginny found the robes that she liked best. They were black with an extremely low V-neck. She had put a black pearl necklace with it and Rilie had to admit that she looked very good in the outfit. Next it was Hermione's turn. It took her longer to decide but she finally decided on a pair of pale pink robes with a moderately low curved neck and a low curving neck. To make the robes pop she wore a string of diamonds and mother of pearls. Lastly Madame Mulkin took Rilie back. Admittedly Rilie was nervous and she couldn't figure out why. "I know just the robes for you my dear," Madame Mulkin said in a sly voice. She left for a few minutes and came out with a black clothing back." Take this in there, put on the robes and then we will find you something to complete the outfit. Rilie went into the room and pulled out the robes. At first she thought they were very plain, but that was because she looked at them from the back. She turned around the robes and gasped. True they were simple but beautiful at the same time. They were black but had gold thread wound through the neckline, which was modestly cut, as well as around the wrists, and at the bottom. The stomach are had a black strip down the middle with rhinestones running vertically. Each side had six strips with alternating colors of pale pink and gold. The strips cloth came together in the back and tied in three ties. Rilie also bought three other pairs of robes but none save one pair was as beautiful as the first.
The boys got their supplies and went back to the Leaky Cauldron. They waited almost an hour and a half before the girls finally arrived. Each had their arms full with their robes along with bags of books. The gang left the leaky cauldron a little while later and arrived at the Burrow about two hours before dinner.
