Hogsmeade Trip and Training
A/n: I'm thinking of changing the name of this story to Goddesses at Hogwarts. Review and say what ya think.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of J.K.Rowling's wonderful characters. Just the plot and characters you don't recognize. (We've been through that already)
It was Hogsmeade weekend again, and Ginny and Hermione were going to get their dresses for the ball. They had decided to get them early, so that they would have a better selection of dresses. They headed to Gladrags Wizarding wear, and there was a new selection of Muggle dresses for the upcoming Hogwarts Ball.
"Ooh, look at this one Hermione. It looks like a cake."
Ginny was looking at one that had masses upon masses frills. It looked like a cake, sort of.
"Yuck," said Hermione. "It looks ridiculous. This one is nice," she said, indicating a purple, full length one with a sweet heart neckline.
"Can I help you girls?" asked the sales clerk.
"No, we're just looking," said Hermione.
Ginny looked at a short black leather skirt. "I would wear that, if I had the right place to wear it to."
Hermione looked at it and smiled. She could just see Ginny wearing it. It suited her perfectly.
Ginny moved over to the more formal clothes and looked around. There was a beautiful pale blue dress. There was a shocking orange dress. She wrinkled her nose. It would clash with her hair, and horribly! Hermione followed Ginny over to the formal stuff. There were some Muggle dresses here that really should be in the Muggle stores, they were so pretty. Then she saw a glimmer of white on one of the racks. She went over to it.
It was a gorgeous, white satin, full length dress, with a square cut neckline and wide, armhole sleeves. It would fit fairly closely, but was not tight, and flared out at the bottom. There was a shimmery chiffon scarf to go with it.
Hermione stood completely entranced by the dress. It was just how she had wanted a dress to look like.
Ginny came over to look at the dress. "Wow Hermione! That is so pretty! It suits you perfectly, both in costume and out. Go try it on."
"You think I should Ginny?" asked Hermione, looking as if she couldn't quite make up her mind.
Ginny's answer was to propel Hermione and the dress towards the dressing room.
When Hermione stepped out, Ginny stood back, awestruck. The dress looked as if it were made for Hermione alone. Even looking normal, the dress looked like as if was made for her. She looked again, and almost thought she saw a glimpse of how Hermione looked as a goddess, pale and black haired. But that had to be her imagination.
"Well, Ginny," said Hermione, "how do I look?" She was secretly frightened that she would look awful. She felt sort of foolish, but also sort of . . . excited.
"You look great Hermione. I think that is the dress for you." Silently she added, *now let's see if we can find one for me*.
Ginny started to look again as Hermione changed back into the clothes she had been wearing. She searched and searched. Everything she liked either was too informal, or was in serious opposition with her hair. 'There are times' she thought 'that one really can dislike red hair.' Hermione came and helped her look. At last Ginny saw a dress that she liked. She sneaked of to the changing room without Hermione seeing her, and changed.
When Hermione turned to look for Ginny, she wasn't there.. "Ginny?" she called.
"Right behind you." Hermione turned, and was surprised.
Ginny was wearing a gold satin knee length dress. It had a sweetheart neckline and had long sleeves that fit close to her arm. The top half of the dress also fit rather closely, but the bottom flared out. It was perfect.
"Wow Ginny, that looks so good." Ginny smiled and turned so that the bottom flared even more.
"The only problem is," said Ginny, "is . . ." she trailed off.
Hermione understood, and said "Look, I'll buy this for you for Christmas. You're not going to get anything for oh, about two years."
Ginny laughed. "Fair bargain." Then the two girls (or goddesses, or whatever) looked for shoes. Ginny got a pair of gold sandals, while Hermione got some silver high heeled shoes. Then the two girls headed to 'The Three Broomsticks'.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were in Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. Fred and George had done so well in Diagon Alley that they had set up a store in Hogsmeade, which they were at for the day. They were there every Hogsmeade weekend, and at the other store the rest of the time. Inside, Fred and George had invented several interesting products, including a mirror that showed what your teachers were doing.
There was a crowd of people inside, and right in the centre were Fred and George, demonstrating the Cat Caramels. These turned you into a cat of any size, type and coat colour for a few minutes. Fred ate one, and after a second turned into a ginger coloured Persian cat. Then George ate one, and he turned into a white fluffy cat.
"Cat caramels!" Fred announced to the crowd. "Ten sickles for one."
"Come and get them!" said George.
Soon the table was a mass of turmoil and the cashiers were working overtime. In the middle of all of that Fred and George eased over to Harry and Ron.
"Hi Harry!" announced Fred.
"Spiffing to see you!" said George.
"Wonderful!" said Fred.
"And why do we get the pleasure of this visit?" asked George.
Ron spoke. "No reason really . . .D'you know that he's asked Ginny to the ball?"
"He has?!!" the twins said in unison.
"So what if I have?" Harry said defensively.
"You fancy her!" said Fred, pointing an accusing finger at Harry.
"So what if I do?" Feeling slightly embarrassed, he steered the conversation away from him. "D'you know that Ron asked Hermione?"
"He has?!!" the twins repeated.
Now it was Ron's turn to be defensive. "So what?"
"Are you going to be able to dance without stepping on poor Hermione's toes?" asked George, with a far too innocent voice.
Ron glared at him. However, Ron and Harry were suddenly left alone, as Fred and George had to go and demonstrate some more. Just before they left, Fred drew Ron aside and whispered something in his ear. Ron laughed, and then joined the perplexed Harry by the door.
"What was that about?" asked Harry.
Ron whispered something in Harry's ear. Harry laughed, and then he said "Let's got to The Three Broomsticks."
Ron agreed, and he and Harry headed to the Three Broomsticks.
They soon found Hermione and Ginny who had been there for five minutes, and then everyone ordered butterbeer.
Casually, Ron asked "Where are your watches?"
Ginny and Hermione giggled, and then said "They are in the room, taking a cat nap."
"At least," added Ginny, "that's what they said they'd be doing. They might be anywhere."
Hermione lowered her voice and said "A goddess's work is never done."
The boys exchanged glances. Before they could ask, Ginny asked "So how are Fred and George?"
"They're alright," said Harry. "Look, Hermione, want this caramel?"
Hermione looked at it "No way," she said. "It bet you got that from Fred and George."
"Right you are," agreed Ron. "Cat Caramels."
Ginny looked at it, and then said "I'll try it, just for fun."
Harry handed it to her. She ate it, and in a second turned into a sleek red furred cat. Then she turned back. "That was cool," she said.
Just then, Harry saw their shopping bags. "What are those for?"
"What?" asked Ron.
"Those," replied Harry, pointing to the shopping bags. Then he clutched his scar. "Oow. . ."
"What happened?" asked Ron, Ginny and Hermione in unison.
"My scar . . ." he replied.
Ginny and Hermione looked at each other and together, they touched Harry's hand.
Immediately Harry felt better. Their touch was soothing. He looked at both of them and saw, for a second how they looked as goddesses. Then they changed back.
In an undertone Hermione said, "Look, let's go. Harry, write to Sirius(no he hasn't died!). Come on."
They all stood up, and left the shop and went back to school.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back at school, the girls headed to the dormitory. As they had suspected, neither Ayesha nor Chanel was there. Then, the two appeared out of nowhere.
Hermione jumped. "There you are. Where were you?"
The watches exchanged smiles (if watches can do that) and said, "Out on business."
Ginny and Hermione exchanged significant looks.
Ayesha added "Training is tonight-"
"As per usual, Hermione."
The girls nodded. Then Ginny added "Harry's scar hurt him."
Now the watches exchanged significant looks. "Tell us later,"
While this odd conversation was going on, Harry was writing a letter to Sirius. It sounded like this:
Hi Snuffles, how are you. I'm fine. The usual odd thing happened. The one that keeps happening happened again. I don't know why. Write back soon. Cheers, Harry.
It was short, but to the point. Harry headed to the Owlery to post it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night, Hermione and Ginny floated over to the chambers, to do training. Chanel and Ayesha were already there. Ginny was nervous and excited. What would this be like? Hermione was cooler. After all she was accustomed to it.
Inside, they turned to their goddess selves. Hermione disappeared into the moon chamber, and Ginny to the sun.
Hermione was practicing a fairly complicated but essential spell called the masking spell. It hid how she looked as a goddess. Ordinary magic did not work.
"Ok," said Chanel, "try again."
"Descius lunata," Hermione whispered. For a second her appearance shimmered, and then it looked normal: Brown bushy hair, normal skin. After five seconds, it flickered back again.
"You're doing great," said Chanel. "You've only just started this. Remember that. And this is not easy."
Hermione tried again and this time held it for ten seconds. Then it relapsed. "Keep trying," said Chanel supportively. "By the end of training, you should have held it for a minute."
Ginny had finished floating on sunbeams, diverting rays of light, and were now, just for fun, creating images with sunbeams. Ayesha had created a row of flowers of light all around the wall. She showed Ginny how to do it.
"You just say: 'Deco Soleil' and think of the shape. Try it!" said Ayesha laughingly making another flower.
Ginny after a few tries, managed to get a daisy done. Soon she had also created a garland of flowers using bright sunshine. Then she changed the glowing gold room into sunset, and then she made butterflies to go with the flowers. It was all very pretty.
After one hour, they all went into the common room, to practice joint working. They had explained how they had eased Harry's pain that evening and trainers had smiled and looked thoughtful. Then Chanel said "Focus a beam of light over . . . there," she said pointing. They obeyed. The light turned out more sunlight than moonlight.
"See that?" asked Ayesha. "Try to create an equal amount." Soon they could do it. For fun, they decorated the common room with flowerers of light, and soon realized that they could make them solid. Soon there were lots of flowers all over the room, making the common room a mass of colour. When their time was up, Hermione and Ginny went to the dormitory. Chanel and Ayesha stayed behind, and formed beds out of light and went to sleep.

A/N: Leonslanna- No you do not ask too many questions. You'll get to meet some other goddesses in the sequel to this.
