Chappie 2: Shopping and Packing

The walls of the kitchen were painted red.  There was gold trimming on the top.  The four painted it like that to remind them of their Gryffindor days.  When Lav and Hermione walked into the kitchen, Ron and Harry were already eating sandwiches.  Lav and Hermione started making sandwiches for themselves.  They sat down at the table and ate in silence for the first five minutes.  During those 5 minutes, they were observing each other without even knowing it.  Hermione was staring at Harry.  He was no longer the scrawny little boy he was in first year.  He was now 5'10".  He had a muscular body from all those years in Quidditch (AN: You gotta luv those muscles!!…lol…anyway bak to the story)  His messy hair, green emerald eyes, and charming smile made any girl want to faint into his arms.  Meanwhile, Harry wasn't giving a thought to anyone or anything but his food.  He suddenly looked up and saw Hermione staring at him.  She blushed and quickly went back to her food, but little did she know it was Harry's turn to stare at her.  Her hair was no longer bushy but curl.  Her chestnut colored eyes had gold flecks in them.  She had a slender body with long, slender legs.  Her shirt was black and in white letters said "It's all about me."  It fit around her curves perfectly.  Suddenly Harry thought to himself, 'I can't be looking at Hermione like this!  She's my best friend.'

While all of this was happening, Ron was observing Lav.  She had straight blonde hair that fell down 5 inches below her shoulders.  She had royal blue eyes that hypnotized any guy that looked into them.  She, like Hermione, had a slender body with perfect curves.  Ron wanted so badly to be her boyfriend.

When Ron looked back to his food, Lav looked up.  She noticed that Ron had gotten hotter over the years. His red fiery hair was usually spiked.  He, too, had gotten muscles from all the years of Quidditch.  He was tall, 6'1".  'Wait!' Lav thought.  'I cant be looking at Ron like this!' and tore her eyes away from him.

"So," Harry started a conversation.  "How long is the cruise trip?"

"It will take the whole summer," Hermione answered, thinking about something.  "Oh my God!!" shouted Lav and Hermione at the same time.

"What?" asked Harry and Ron confused.

"We have nothing to wear!" Lav answered.

"We need to go shopping!" Hermione said.  "You guys should, too.  There are a few formal nights at dinner.  Also, you can't wear shorts to dinner on a regular night."

"Mione, Lav, calm down.  We'll go shopping after we eat," Ron said.

"Why did you say that?" Harry asked Ron.  "Now they're going to ask us to hold their bags, give them cash, and they're going to ask us how they look.  Shopping with girls is no fun."

Before Ron could answer, Lav asked, "What did you say?" hearing the last part.

"Uhh…I said shopping with girls is so much fun," Harry answered and quickly looked back at his food.  "So what places are we going on the cruise?" changing the subject.

"Most of our trips is going to be on the sea," Mione answered.  "First, we're going to Grand Cayman, them Costa Maya, then Cozumel.  After that we are going all the way to Hawaii and back.  Our port is in Tampa, Florida." (AN: Just pretend they are in America!!…please bear with me.)

"Wow," Harry said.  "Sounds like fun."

"It will be," Lav answered. "Now lets go shopping before it gets to late!"

The four friends were in Forever 21 (AN: My favorite store!!!)  Lav and Mione were taking forever.  They finally bought their purchases and left with a million bags.  They went to some other stores and finally Express Men for Harry and Ron.  They had pizza for dinner and left.

"Let's start packing tonight," Mione suggested when they were back at their flat.

"Okay," the rest agreed and went off to their rooms. Lav's and Mione's rooms were connected with a bathroom, as was Ron's and Harry's.  The rooms were all designed the same way, just with different colors.  There were king size beds in each room.  The girls had vanity sets and the guys had full-length mirrors.  They each had a walk-in closet.  Lavender's room was painted blue and lavender.  She had a spring themed room.  Mione had an orange and pink room.  She had a summer themed room.  Harry had a green room to match his lovely emerald eyes.  Ron had a camouflage themed room.  Hermione and Lav's bathroom was peach.  Ron and Harry's was blue.  There was a separate room with a Jacuzzi in it.  That room was pure white.

It took the guys one hour to pack all their clothes and stuff.  They went to Lav's room to find Mione and Lav still picking out clothes.

"You girls still aren't done?!" Ron exclaimed.

"Hey!  It takes time!" Lav answered.

"And besides," Mione said.  "We need to look our best.  There are going to be plenty of hot guys on the ship!"  'but only one I want to be with,' she added in her thoughts, looking at Harry.

"Oh!" said Harry, jokingly.  "So we're not good enough for you?"

"Of course you are!" Mione answered back, only she wasn't joking.  Unfortunately, Harry only thought she was joking.  "You'll always be good enough for us."

'Too bad she's only joking,' Harry thought. 'Ahh!! You're doing it again, Harry!  She's your best friend!'

"Lets go watch TV, mate," he said to Ron.

"Ok," Ron answered, walking out of the room with Harry.

A few hours later, the girls had finished packing and were dressed in their PJs.  They snuggled up with the guys(as friends) in front of the TV.  It had started raining.

"I hope it's not raining tomorrow," Hermione stated.  "Our flight to Florida is early in the morning.  We are goin to sleep in a motel not far from the dock and board the ship next morning.  We should go to sleep now. We have to wake up at 5:30. "

"5:30?" Ron groaned.  He was not a morning person.
