Chapter 4-Ron! Phone!
Snape and the boys entered the store and began to turn on the lights and get everything ready for the big promo day for Gilderoy Lockhart.
The phone on the counter began to ring. Ron, who was re-stocking the wizard discs sat there staring at the phone.obviously still high.
Snape saw this and immediately marched over to Ron and smacked him upside his head. "RON! THE PHONE!"
Ron stared at the phone and back at Snape. "Oh."
Ever since the end of the watr, numerous muggle contraptions were being used by wizards everywhere. The "phones" were basically small devices that showed a hologram of the person who was calling, or the business hologram of the company calling. No more need to messy fireplaces.
"Empress Records, open till midnight, this is Ron..yeah..HEY SNAPE! IT's THE BANK!"
Snape walked into his office and picked up the phone. " Yeah, it's Snape..are you sure? Yeah Mitch. MITCH! Mitch will you stop yelling please!"
Draco, who was busy cleaning the front doors, heard Snape in the back room. He dropped his supplies and walked to the back to find Snape pacing. Under his breath he was trying to come up with a believable script if he was asked about Harry. What's wrong Sev..nah.Harry No way, he's a prat, but his head isn't full of bobbotubber pus..
Ron was following behind Draco when they reached the back room.
"Uh oh.here he comes."
Snape stormed out of his office to the corner where the safe was and whispered the charm. He opened the safe..
"Dammit Harry!"
Draco and Ron stepped back.."What's wrong Sev," said Draco, voice wavering at the thought.
*~*Meanwhile.back at Hogwarts*~*
Hermione was stepping out of the portrait hole where Ginny was waiting by the portrait for her.
"Surprise!" said Hermione in a voice all too chipper for the usually studious and quiet girl. In her arms was a giant pink and red box covered in glitter and hearts.
Ginny took note of the girl in front of her. Hermione was in, as far as Ginny was concerned, an NC-17 skirt, as far as the length went. She had on a body hugging sweater that showed just the right amount of her stomach. On her face was..makeup?!
"What? What is it?"
"Happy Gilderoy Lockhart Day!" Hermione
Hermione handed Ginny a cupcake with a picture of Gilderoy Lockhart that was charmed to grin and wink. Ginny stared at the cupcake with a look of bewilderment and amusement.
"When did you have the time to do this? Yesterday you were complaining about how you only had SIX feet for your potions essay."
Hermione put her chin up as they began to walk to the carriages that would take them to town. "Dumbledore says that there are 24 usable hours in every day, thank you."
"You amaze me," said Ginny as they got into one of the horseless carriages. "You are a nerd."
Hermione grinned back at one of her Gilderoy cupcakes. "That's me!"
They began to move down the hill when Ginny turned to face Hermione with a serious look on her face.
"So?"
"So.."
Ginny threw her hands in the air in mock frustration. "SO?"
Hermione had a cheshire cat-like grin on her fave. "So today, I will offer myself to Gilderoy Lockhart."
"Alright Hermione!"
Hermione looked at her wizarding disc with Gilderoy's grinning face all over the cover and began to kiss it. "Oh, I love you..."
Ginny laughed at the sight of her bookish friend going ga-ga over someone who wasn't worth a knut in her mind. She grabbed the disc and began licking Gilderoy's face. "Like this Hermione.mmmm..Gilderoy..ahhhhhh!"
Hermione snatched the disc back. "Get your tongue off my disc!"
Both girls looked at each other and began to laugh. Hermione looked at Ginny. "You this Gil is the right guy for my first time?"
Ginny sighed, knowing that there was no other answer than.."I think he's perfect got you Herms."
