Chapter Two: Dress Shopping
When the holidays drew nearer it meant the ball was drawing nearer too. They were all of course staying over the holidays because of the ball and they were all really excited. The Hogsmeade trip that Remus had invited Charlie to was tomorrow Saturday and the girls were all going to get their dresses then meet the boys in the Hogshead.
Saturday came and they all awoke to realise they had slept in so boys and girls alike rushed to get ready. They ran down the stairs and bumped into each other. All of them laughed and they walked downstairs together. They all took the carriages to Hogsmeade and when they got there the girls and boys all split up. The girls all headed for the clothing shops and the boys all headed the Zonko's joke shop. The girls were excited they were all bubbly and giggly.
They entered the first shop. They weren't really sure what they looking for but it had to be formal, so that meant to the floor gowns. A lady approached them and they all got served. They tried assorted dresses and only Charlie was successful she found the perfect dress for her. It was baby pink strapless dress. It fitted perfectly and she looked amazing. She bought matching shoes and a tiny little clutch bag and she was beaming and completely broke by the time she left the shop. But they didn't stop because Tasha and lily were still looking. They past a shop that looked like it was closed but when they looked closer they realised that it was just dark inside and they walked in. Tasha smiled. It was the perfect shop for her. All the clothes were gothic and black and she looked for a dress and she found a great black dress it wasn't as gothic as it wasn't what she usually wore but she looked amazing in it. She bought a little black bag with gold feathers from a phoenix on it and she got matching gold shoes.
By this time lily was starting to panic, they were running out of time to get her dress. But there was one last shop and they entered praying there was a dress in here.
When they went in a bell rang above the door and an elderly lady greeted them. She smiled and asked them what they were looking for. They explained and they pointed to Lily. She beamed and said quickly to wait here for a minute. She didn't return quickly and they began to think she wasn't coming but they she suddenly bustled through with a big dress holder. She told lily to go to the changing room.
Lily was very unsure how many eighty year old women do you know with fashion sense? It was probably going to be horrid but Lily was polite as always and followed the lady into the stall. She was left alone and opened the package and inside was the most gorgeous dress you have ever seen. It was green but the type of green is unexplainable it wasn't dark it was exactly the same colour of lily's eyes. It contrasted her eyes perfectly she quickly took it off the hanger and tried it on. It was amazing. It wasn't like the others being strapless it had them and they were thin and they went over your back to show a completely backless dress that went right down to your waist. The front was high and showed no cleavage but because of the back being so revealing it made her feel very sexy. She opened the curtain and said to her friends,
"Well that was easy I'm having this one. Let's go meet the boys."
Lily paid for her dress along with a handbag and matching shoes. The lady selling it looked so pleased. She was almost as pleased as lily was. They all left the shop happy and walked in to the pub. The boys were already sitting there drinking butter beers but when they came Sirius went to the bar to get them some as well.
"Here I'll get some chairs for you." Remus offered about to get up.
"No need you can be my chair," Charlie giggled and sat on Remus' lap. Her and Remus were officially a couple now and they certainly acted like it. Lily copied suit and she pecked James on the cheek. She was still waiting for an officially asking out but she knew he would eventually. And Tasha and Sirius just seemed to be getting along really well too. When Sirius returned Tasha was sitting down beside him and they started talking straight away and didn't stop.
Everybody was very relaxed and they sat in there for ages talking and laughing until they finally had to make their way back up to the castle. Everybody grabbed all their stuff and walked towards where the carriages were waiting to take them back to Hogwarts.
