Draco's Wife Lover - I liked the idea of a road trip, I wanted to add it in somewhere in the 2st story but then I decided to just make a sequel. Well about the guys, I'm not too sure. I changed it so that the guys would arrive later than Hermione and Ginny, so the girls will have a little time to themselve. If you readers really don't want the guys to come please tell me. It won't be a hassle either way. Thanks for reviewing!
Flavagurl - OFCOURSE theres going to be gambling. But i've never been gambling so I wouldn't know exactly how its done, I'll ask my Dad or brother. I've never been to Las Vegas either, hehe, so pardon me if I make any mistakes.
slyswn28 - I agree with you too, I like the plot of this story better. But as you say, too soon to tell, who knows I might mess up. ;)
Forensic-Paige-Potter -CORECT, absolutely right! I am so sorry for that stupid mistake. Harry and Ron are 18. Hermuone is stll 17, because her birthday is in September I'm told. Thanks for pointing that out.

Divas Las Vegas
Chapter 2 - Plans
So, Las Vegas it was. I had never been there, but I had read about it. It sounded great in the muggle travel magazines. Ginny was excited too! She wanted to see the lights and go shopping. Ron and Harry were planning on going gambling in the many casinos. I just wanted to find Draco.
I kept playing a scene in my head, me finding Draco. Would he be angry? Or Happy? Ecstatic? I wonder if he's still with his family or alone.
Ginny interrupted my thoughts.
"Hermione," she hissed in the darkness. It was late in the night.
"Yeah what?" I answered, a little irritated, my dream was getting to the good part.
"How are we going to get to Las Vegas?" She asked.
"Is this really the time to discuss that?" I asked, "We'll plan it in the morning." I said, brushing the topic away.
"No! Tell me now, I need to know, it's important." She pushed.
"Fine, we're apparating, obviously." I said.
"Well then, you've obviously forgotten I haven't taken my apparating tests yet!" Ginny huffed.
Oops.
"Then we'll go by a port key or something…" I rolled over and went back to dreaming. Ginny sulked in the room for the rest of the night.
The next morning, she was fine. We planned our trip.
"Okay, so dad's arranging the port key." She told me, "We're leaving in 2 weeks."
"Okay, that's the 15th of July?" I asked.
"Yeah," she said.
"No!" Ron suddenly shouted.
"Can't we go a little later, like 25th or something?" Harry asked
"No, why?" Ginny asked.
"Because, the Chudley Cannons are playing and we've got tickets to see them. We're spending a week with them in London!" Ron said quickly.
"Um…" I said, "I don't know, you guys." I looked at Ginny for help.
"Well, we'll go on the 15th." Ron's face fell, "And you can stay here and go to London, then after the week with the Canons you can apparate to Las Vegas." She said simply. Ron's face immediately brightened.
"Great Idea!!!" Harry cheered, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you're stupid," said George, who had just entered the room with Fred.
"Just Kidding, Harry, he was just kidding!" Fred said, seeing the look on Harry's face.
"That's sorted, then." I said, I got up from the living room couch.
Ginny followed me.
"Hermione, are you sure it's okay for them to come?"
"Yeah," I said. It wasn't a lie. If I was going to Las Vegas for any other reason than chasing Draco, I'd love to have them come along, But that was exactly what I was doing, chasing Draco. I knew they'd disapprove if they knew that was the reason we were going there. I was quite surprised they hadn't figured it out yet. Then again they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they?
"Are you sure? Because," she paused, "This is about Draco, isn't it? The point of the trip is to find him, right?"
"Yeah…" I said.
"Well, they aren't going to like that." She said, "They won't let us look for him."
"We'll look for him the week that they are In London." I voiced plan.
"What if we don't find him and we need more time?" Ginny pestered.
"Then we're screwed!" I said, throwing my arms up.
"You don't seem to be taking this too seriously Hermione." Ginny told me.
"I am, but if we don't find Draco maybe it's for a reason." I said, 'Maybe I was never supposed to be with him."
Ginny tilted her head.
"I we do find him however and things go well. We were meant to be in the first place."
I explained.
"Right…" Ginny started, "Make up your mind if you want him or not because I'm not going hunting around Las Vegas looking for a guy who you love but could possibly be not meant for you." She said firmly.
"I want to find him, Ginny, but if we don't find him after the first week, we'll give up." I sighed, "And have a little fun."
"That sounds more like it." Ginny nodded.
Mrs. Weasley entered the kitchen, the room that we were talking in.
"Girls, have you made a list of the things you want to take there?" She asked.
"No, not yet." Ginny answered.
"Well get to it. You'll don't have much time you know…" She ordered.
I grabbed an apple from a basket and followed Ginny into her room. Ginny took a notepad and a pen from her neat tabletop; her room was probably the cleanest and tidiest in the house. I couldn't say much for Ron's.
"Okay, what do we need?"
"Well, the usual, clothes and things." Ginny said.
"Yeah, let's go shopping tomorrow. We need to get you some muggle clothes; I've got most of mine ready."
"Right," She jotted down a date and time next to the word 'Clothes' on her notepad.
"What else?" I asked.
"Um…I'll need a few bath stuff, like shampoos and things, we can pick those up later." She said.
"Yeah, I need some too. Your mom said something about some spell books, so we can cook up things." I remembered.
"Yeah, we'll take some old ones, no need to buy any." She put a tick next to 'Spell books'.
We continued to list the different things we needed. We handed in the list to Mrs. Weasley.
"Quite a thorough list." She said as she read through it. "Shopping? Tomorrow, hmm…"
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Well, I'm not too sure, Ginny, because we don't really have that much money to spare right now. Most of the extra money is going for this trip of yours."
"That's okay," I quickly interrupted, "I'll pay for everything."
"You don't have to…" Ginny said.
"No, it is okay, really, I mean you let me stay here and all."
"Well, thank you, dear." Mrs. Weasley said smiling brightly at me.
"No problem." I replied. "Come on, Ginny, you have to help me sort out my bags.
We walked into the closest muggle mall. Ginny was wearing my muggle clothing. A yellow strap top with cargo pants. They were the only things that fit her. She was so much skinnier than I was. I was wearing jeans and a plain tank top. Not very flattering, but who did I have to impress? Anyway. the first shop we hit was a place called, 'Rebel'.
I noticed that most of the clothes were black. There were loads of short, tiny, cleavage showing tops with rips on the side. Skirts were definitely of the mini variety and had slits nearly upto the hip. Ginny was selecting many of the tiny skirts. Instead of checking if they fit her she put them against me.
"I'm not going to buy them, Ginny," I told her, "It's not my stlye."
"You're just going to have to change your style then, Hermione," She said, "Draco is going to want to see a little leg." She plucked a teensy weensy top from the racks, "And a little cleavage too. You know what he's like!"
Unfortunately I did know exactly what Draco was like. He was like the type of guy who would leave his girlfriend and fly off to Las Vegas to be with his family. But what had that got to do with leg and cleavage exposure? According to Ginny, Everything!
"Well, he's seeing you after a couple of years. He's going to want to see how much you've," She cleared her throat, "grown."
"Whatever, Ginny." I said, dismissing the subject, "Now we have to get you some clothes, not me."
"Fine, fine!" She agreed.
We left 'Rebel' and wandered off to the other clothes stores. Soon, Ginny and I, both had bulging bags of clothes and accessories. We left the mall and proceeded back home.
AN- Yeah I know, a little boring. It'll get better next chapter, they go to Las Vegas in that one. Tell me, should they find Draco before or after the guys arrive? Don't forget to review!!
