On the day of the Hogsmeade trip, Lavender, Parvati, Ginny, and Hermione went on a big shopping spree. After hunting in every clothing store in the village and having a butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks, the four girls still hadn't found anything yet.

"Now this has got to be the hardest shopping trip I've ever been on!" Parvati groaned.

"Yeah, we haven't found anything yet, not even shoes!" Ginny said, irritated.

"Hey, wait, there's a store at the end of this street!" Hermione said excitedly.

The sign read Madam Heffet's Clothes For All Occasion.

"Let's go in." Lavender said cheerfully.

The four friends entered the store and each girl was guided to a cubicle by four different salesclerks.

Hermione entered her booth and saw a small circular stage in the middle plus a TV screen in front of the stage. A tall fair-haired witch entered the booth and said, "Hi, my name is Delia and I'll assist you with your fittings today. What are you looking for?"

"Oh, me and the three other girls I came in with are looking for dresses to wear to the Halloween Dance at Hogwarts." Hermione answered.

"Ah, that's easy enough. We can make custom dresses or you take a look at the already made ones and we'll alter it to your size. The TV screen is to see how your friends are doing with their shopping and to take a look at the different colors and designs of the dresses you can choose from. Now, step on the platform" Delia instructed.

"Um, I think I'll go with the already made dresses." Hermione said once she was on the stage.

Delia turned on the TV and pictures of different kinds of dresses appeared. Hermione scrolled through the pics and found one style she really liked, but she didn't like the color.

"I really like this design, but do you have it in a different color?" Hermione asked, pointing to the dress.

"We can change the color for an additional three Sickles." Delia replied.

"Okay."

Delia whipped out her wand, pointed it at the dress on-screen and pointed the wand at Hermione. With a soft poof! The dress was on Hermione's body. It was a halter-top dress with a skirt that ended right at the bottom of her knees. The skirt flared out slightly as Hermione spun around on the stage.

"What color would you like it?" Delia asked.

"I don't know. Can I talk to my friends?"

"Of course." Delia pushed a knob on the monitor and Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny appeared on the screen, each in their own little box.

"Wow!" Lavender squealed as she saw Ginny's dress. It was a shimmering powder blue with a small piece of silky fabric at each sleeve. The skirt ended mid-knees, and it fit Ginny perfectly.

"I know, Ginny, you look great!" Hermione cried as she took in the sight of Ginny.

"I do?" Ginny said uncertainly. "I was thinking about changing the color."

"Don't!" All three girls cried out in fear.

"Okay, okay." Ginny said, amused.

"Parvati next." Hermione announced.

Parvati was wearing a dark green strapless dress that flared out at the knees. Her plait had a matching green ribbon at the end.

"Nice choice, Parvati. The dark green looks good on you." Ginny said joyfully.

"Thanks." Parvati said, brushing a stray lock of dark brown hair out of her face and blushing.

"Ginny's right, Parvati. Green looks good on you!" Hermione said enthusiastically.

"Alright, Hermione or Lavender next?" Ginny asked.

"Er, I'll go." Lavender said. She spun around, showing off the dark blue spaghetti strap dress that she was wearing. The skirt flared out slightly like Hermione's dress, but the end of the skirt was cut diagonally.

"Lav, dark blue looks good with your hair color." Hermione explained.

"I think you should do something about your hair. Like, tie it up or something." Ginny said, eyeing Lavender's straight dark blonde hair.

"Okay, we can take care of that during make-up." Parvati said. "Lavender's dress is a keeper."

"And last, but not least. Presenting, HERMIONE GRANGER!" Lavender cried.

Hermione shyly grinned and showed off her black halter-top dress. "I don't like the color, though."

"I agree." Parvati said, wincing at the black of the dress.

"Then what color should I get it in?" Hermione asked, looking distastefully at the black fabric.

"I think you would look good in lavender. Or purple. You guys agree?" Ginny turned to the two other girls on her screen.

"Agree."

"Alright, we are DONE! Let's go pay!" Hermione quickly changed into her school robes and met the other three girls outside the store after paying. They had fifteen minutes until they had to get back to school, so they were able to get a quick butterbeer before leaving.
