***Hey all!! I know, it's been a while since I've updated but stuff
ahs been messed up and school is overwhelming. I promise you, I'm trying my
hardest but I do have a life off of this computer (as suprising as this may
sound!) Neways onto answering reviews.
*Katie: glad you like so much. I'll try and update more often. Don't go insane!
*metalhead13: school is a nighmare isn't it. Don't be calm, you wouldn't be you.
*amelle: glad you like. Please keep reading!
*The Me: Harry will probably win but I'm not sure yet. Oh and sorry but I don't do the whole e-mail update thing. Sorry!
*Lady Lorene: Voldemort will return! More longer chaps to come. Like this one!
***Ok so lets get with it here. Last chap Hermione realized how nothing would ever be the same and that it was all Voldemort's fault. In this chap they finish their shopping. It's pretty uneventful, but that could change if I get a good idea halfway through. So read on!! *drumroll*
Hermione, Harry, and Ron quickly finished up their shopping before roaming around the remaining shops to find friends from Hogwarts. They found Lavender, Pavarti, and Padme, inside Madame Malkin's Robes, giggling over some older boys who were eyeing them with interest. Ron got very red and left the shop quickly. Hermione realized later that he still hadn't forgotten about Padme and the Yule Ball. In Quality Quidditch Supplies they found Ginny and Dean fawning over a Firebolt on display in the window. When Ron caught sight of them Hermione sensed a storm. Before Ron could even open his mouth Hermione grabbed his arm and dragged him over to the Apothacary. She saw Ginny mouth thank you and take Dean by the arm into the Magical Menagerie.
They found Neville, and his grandmother, with Luna at the Ice Cream parlor. Luna smiled warmly as Harry took a seat next to her. Then, to everyone's surprise, Neville's gran shook Harry's hand.
"Thank you dear boy for saving Neville last year." Harry smiled weakly and Hermione saw the familiar look of memories flashing.
"Actually ma'am," Harry began soberly, "Neville saved me." Neville's grandmother stared at her grandson in surprise.
"Neville! You never told me about this! Well c'mon then. This calls for a gift." And with that she stood up, shook Harry's hand again, the hurried off, Neville close behind. Ron burst out laughing.
"Poor Neville," he choked out. Hermione glanced at her watch and glared at Ron.
"Not poor Neville, poor you! We're late." Ron stopped laughing and began running for the shop. Harry looked questionably at Hermione.
"We're not late? We still have ten minutes."
Hermione grinned slyly. "Yes, but Ron doesn't know that." Harry and Luna chuckled.
"Hermione," Harry said getting up. "I think George Weasley is rubbing off on you."
***
Harry, Luna, and Hermione enter the WWW to a sour faced Ron.
"Thanks a lot Hermione," he grumbled. She smirked.
"Oh don't be a poor sport Ron," said Hermione still pleased with her prank. Ron just moped off. George came up behind her.
"Great prank Mione. Ickle Ronnikins gat the whole store laughing at him." Hermione felt a hint of regret but smiled and followed George behind the counter were Ginny, Luna, and Harry were waiting. Hermione settled herself next to Ginny and grinned at her.
***
Angelina Johnson had a mission. She walked into the WWW keeping a straight eye out for Fred Weasley. She walked straight by her best friend Katie Bell and up to the counter. She saw Fred flush and mutter something to his twin before hurrying into the rear storage room.
"George Weasley!" she yelled pushing aside the customer that he had been talking to. "Go get your brother this instant!" George cowered under the fierce gaze of his brother's girlfriend.
"Yes ma'am!" he said with a fake salute. She wasn't amused.
"Now George," she said her voice tight. George hurried into the back room and came back out dragging Fred with him.
"Here," he said shoving Fred at Angelina. "Take him." Everyone in the shop was watching the commotion now. Angelina dragged him outside and a few customer huddled around the window to watch the couple, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna among them. Angelina's face was flushed. He had bought her a Nimbus Two-Thousand and 3 the newest in the Nimbus line. Once outside her expression changed and her face glowed. Fred had just realized she wasn't going to strangle him when she flung her arms around him.
"Fred you are the greatest idiot in the world!" He smiled in spite of himself. He knew she would love it. Angelina leaned in and kissed smack on the lips before hurrying off down the ally. Fred stood stunned as the smiling customers went back to their shopping.
***So, you like? Next chapter they leave for Hogwarts, I think. Neways I have all my computer stuff sorted out so I should update more often. Thank you to all my faithful reviewers and all my new ones. Y'all are grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! Thankies and look for updates!
