Last Time:

The students in The Great Hall turned to him.

"Last minute announcement students. I'm sorry for this, yet it will be fun I guarantee you! In 2 hours you will be allowed to visit Hogsmeade to shop for a…. Welcome Back Ball!!" Dumbledore waited as the students turned to each other happily and let them speak a bit. "You may wear anything you wish, also. That is all. Have a great day!!"

Hermione turned to Harry and Ron.

"Now we've definitely got something to do!!"

**************&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&**************

Chapter 4: Shopping

Harry and Ron agreed.

"Okay, so lets go get our money!!" said Hermione.

Harry, Ron and Hermione started to leave when Hermione turned around and waved goodbye to Cody.

"Bye Hermione!"

Across at another table, a boy by the name of Draco Malfoy thought what is he doing?

@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^^@@^@@

"Okay, so where to next?" Harry asked as the trio stepped out of the joke shop.

"Lets get some Butterbeers!!" Exclaimed Ron.

Hermione went into the Three Broomsticks first and bumped into someone coming out.

"Watch where you're going mudblood." Malfoy sneered breezing past.

"Listen Malfoy, you need to-" Ron started angrily.

"I don't have time for your blabbering, Weasley." Draco snapped without looking back.

Ron stared menacingly at Malfoy's back as he walked away.

"Ron, just ignore Malfoy, I really don't care that he calls me a mudblood."

"Yeah, well it bothers me."

The trio took a seat in a booth in the corner.

"I'll go get the drinks." Harry offered and got up to go to the counter.

At the counter, someone came up beside Harry, pushed him and gave his order first.

"Malfoy, I thought you left." Harry said.

"I did, I just…. Decided to come back, do you have a problem with that? Good." Draco replied sarcastically.

"Whatever, Can I have three butterbeers?" Harry ordered.

"Three for what?" Draco asked rudely.

"In case you didn't notice, Ron and I were behind Hermione when you bumped her." Harry responded.

"You're following her now??"

"Very funny Malfoy." Harry said taking the three butterbeers in front of him, and turned to go back to Hermione and Ron.

"That took a while." Ron said, taking his butterbeer.

"Yeah, Malfoy." Said Harry passing Hermione her butterbeer.

"I thought he left. You know, when he bumped into me?" Hermione said.

"That's what I said. But he had an attitude…."

"Not surprised." Ron mumbled.

"and told me he decided to come back." Harry finished.

"Oh. Okay, subject OFF Malfoy, please!!" Hermione said.

"Right! So…." And Harry and Ron got into a discussion about Quidditch.

Hermione felt like someone was staring at her.

She looked around.

Okay….

So she turned back to watch Harry and Ron talk.

What is that?

She looked around again, feeling like someone was staring at her again.

Hermione saw a flash of blonde hair, when she looked back at the spot it was just Malfoy.

Ugh, must just be me.

"Okay, lets go."" Hermione said. "I'm getting some weird vibes."

"Okay." Ron shrugged.

As they left the shop, Hermione in front, then Harry, then Ron, someone bumped Hermione again.

"Goddess, would you watch it!!" Hermione yelled. "There's really no reason to keep bumping into me when I enter and leave someplace!!"

"Right. It's definitely a mistake. I have to go back to the dorm and wash your germs off of me." Draco smirked breezing past.

"I'd really like to hurt him now." Said Hermione to Ron and Harry, watching Malfoy walk away around a corner.

Hermione walked out and bumped into another person.

UGH!!

"Hermione!!"

Hermione looked at the person she bumped into.

"Ginny!!"

"Wow, Hermione, we really have to go shopping for our clothes together!!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Sure. Hey, Harry, Ron I'll see you guys later!!" Hermione called, being dragged away by Ginny.

Hermione and Ginny stepped into a shop called Fantastique Wear.

"Wow! Everything is soo pretty!!" said Ginny.

"Yeah!" Agreed Hermione.

Ginny ran over to some pink dresses.

Hermione looked around a little longer and decided to go to the blue dresses.

She began to look through the racks, talking to herself.

"Hmm…. This? Nahh, This? No Way!! Hmm, This Is Pretty, But, Not For Me…. Ooh!! I Really Like This!!" Hermione said.

She pulled out a sparkling, one shoulder dark blue dress, with a baby blue outlining that touched the floor.

Hermione looked at it satisfied and went to find some blue shoes to go with it.

(A/N: I Forgot To Mention, Any Time Theres A Ball, Its Formal. :-P)

She found some baby blue sandals and went to the counter to pay.


Ginny was already standing at the door waiting for Hermione.

Hermione payed for the dress and went to Ginny and together, left the store.

"So, what did you get?" Hermione asked.

"A violet, off the shoulder dress. Yours is so pretty Hermione!" Ginny said.

"Thanks, yours sounds pretty too!!" Hermione complimented. "So did anyone ask you, or you ask anyone? Whichever?" She laughed.


"Actually yes…. Harry did." Ginny blushed.

"Aw that's so cute!!" Hermione squealed.

"How about you?"

"No…. That's okay though."

"I KNOW someone will ask you."

Hermione Laughed. "Thanks Gin."

#######################^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hermione heard some talking upstairs, then someone said the password and came down on the elevator.

"Granger, someone's at the door for you. They followed me here. I couldn't get 'em to stop." Draco sneered, walking into the Common Room, where Hermione sat reading.

"Thanks…."

Draco mumbled a 'whatever' and sat on his couch.

Hermione walked to the elevator sat down, went up on it.

When she was floor level she saw who was waiting there.

"Hey Seamus."

"H….Hi Hermione." He greeted speaking loud.

"So, what's happened. I heard you followed Malfoy." Hermione laughed.

"Heh…. Heh…. Well I wanted to ask you something." Seamus stuttered.

"Yeah?"

"Wilugotoheancwitme." Seamus said.

"What did you say?"

"Will…. Will you go to the dance with me??" He said nervously, and still loud.
