Chapter 10: The Studs
Scarlet waited patiently for the sun to set. Jinx had brought her what she needed to feed. 'That house elf has always been good to me,' she thought. She needed to repay her some how, but she would think of that later. Tonight, however she had more to worry about. For on she had to go the Malfoy's to invite Narcissa to her garden party. They had become good friends, even though Scarlet and Lucius hated each other. Also, the Order had call a meeting tonight. 'Why did I ever agree to help,'she thought as she slowly go out of bed. She walked to her closet. She choose a pair of low rise stone wash jeans. She took a few more steps into the closet. Taking a deep breath, she began to look through the shirts the where hung. Fifteen minutes later she pulled on a black muscle tank with a pink skull on the front. She pulled a black leather coat out as well. The sun had set now. She could feel the moving downstairs, not having a care in the world. She still had a few more things to do before she made an appearance.
Everyone took the same seats that they had that morning and at lunch. Ron had only said a few words to Hermione and when he did speak it was short and snappy. Hermione needed to talk to Scarlet about this garden party. 'Where is she? Surely she'll be here soon dinner is almost over.' Hermione didn't more than finish those thoughts when she looked up to see Scarlet standing in the doorway.
"I see you are finished eating Hermione," Scarlet said as she made her was into the room.
Hermione couldn't make up her mind whether she looked like a biker or a rocker. "Yes, I'm finished. Why?"
"I would like for you to go with me tonight. I have to go and return two Malfoy studs." Scarlet could see that Hermione was shocked by what she had just said. "I mean horses, darling."
"No, I am not going to the Malfoy's with you. Sorry." Hermione crossed her arms and stared at her.
"Yes, you will. Now you can either go in that, or you can go upstairs and change into something more suitable." She spun a chair around to face another and propped her feet up. " I can wait." They stared at each other for a few moments before either one of them moved.
"Fine!" Hermione jumped up from the table and stomped upstairs.
Scarlet finally broke the awkward silence. "Will that went rather well didn't?" She got up and walked to the back door. "Tell Hermione to come to the stables."
Twenty minutes later Hermione walked into the stable. Still mad, she made her way to the back no even noticing the horses that filled the stalls. She had on boots and boot cut jeans and a hooded sweatshirt.
"Are you cold or something," Scarlet ask? She had taken off her coat and was saddling up the horses.
"Yes," Hermione snapped back. She was amazed at how built Scarlet was.
"Have you ever rode before?"
"No," Hermione said hoping she would get the point that she was still mad and did not want to talk to her right now.
"Look kid you might as well get over this now. It's not like your going to have to see any of them. I just have to return these studs," she nodded her head at the horses "and get my mares."
Hermione took a good look at the two studs for the first time. They were solid black with shinny coats the glistened in the light. "What kind are they," she ask as she reached out to touch one.
"Arabian, they're of the dark breed." She walked to the other side of the horse. "You get on like this." She swung her leg over the horses back with ease. Once seated she waited for Hermione to mount up.
"I'm capable of getting on a horse," Hermione said trying for the second time.
"Right," Scarlet said as she rolled her eyes. She was almost out of the stable before Hermione caught up with her.
