Chapter 5: Weekend Fun
The weekend Elza spent with her friends was amazing. Friday night, they all wanted to know how her last detention went. She didn't want to tell them what happened. She was afraid that if she refealed Snape's other side to anyone that she'd never see it again. "Well," she laughed, "it was detention. Use your imaginations! We should go to bed if we're going to do anything tomorrow." They all agreed and wento off to bed thinking about what they'd all be doing the next day.
Saturday was fun, but exhausting. Harry and Ron spent most of the day teaching Elza to ride a broom. At first she had trouble balancing and fell off a few times. Harry and Ron ran to help her up. "Are you okay, Elza?" Harry asked as he chuckled. "You're not hurt are you?" Asked Ron. Elza just laughed. She was finally able to ride a broom with ease after a couple more hours, though she was afraid of soaring too high. Heights scared her so badly, she could barely climb the staircases at Hogwarts. The moving ones especially got to her! She wanted desperately to cling to the rails, but that would put her too close to the edge. If she stood perfectly in the middle, she'd have nothing to hold on to. She once contemplated just sitting on one of the steps until the staircase stopped moving.
After the broom riding lessons, she was taught the rules of Quidditch. She thought it was almost as interesting as hockey. Later, she taught Hermione, Harry, and Ron some karate basics. She planned to teach them every Saturday. She only hoped she'd have the time and the energy. Hermione was a natural, but Harry and Ron...well, they were an entirely different case!
Elza went to bed worn out. As she lie there, she hoped that her day with Hermione tomorrow would be a little less tiring. She needed a day to unwind. If she wasn't studying, helping others study, or doing homework, she was wearing herself out with her friends. After her long day, she fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Elza threw on some old, ragged clothes before meeting Hermione in her dorm. Hermione had told her to wear something she wouldn't miss if it were to be ruined. She'd also told Elza to do her hair nicely. That really confused Elza, but Hermione always knew what she was doing. When Elza arrived, she found Hermione eagerly awaiting her in equally sloppy clothes with her hair done beautifully. Hermione could tell that Elza was confused. "We're going to transfigure our clothes before we go shopping in Hogsmeade!"
Elza was excited. So THIS is what Hermione has been planning! Soon, Hermione was wearing a pink and white gingham halter dress that had a full skirt. It was very light, so she transfigured an old sweatshirt into a light pink peacoat. She went to her jewelry box and got out her pearl necklace that tied with pink ribbon and put it on. Finally, she took an old pair of sneakers and made them into whit, strappy sandals with a bit of a high heel. Elza was getting excited. She didn't dress up often, so she loved doing it when she had the chance.
She decided to follow Hermione's lead. Though it would be quite cool later, she knew that the weather would permit her to wear a dress. She decided to go with a pale yellow spaghetti strapped dress. There was elastic above and below her breasts, which gathered the material. She loved excentuating her breasts, because she wasn't quite as richly endowed as other people she knew. This dress was light and clung and flowed in just the right places. She also opted for strappy, white sandals. She decided to make a white hooded sweatshirt with an "E" emroidered in mint green above the left breast. She figured she'd just throw it on if she got cold. As a finishing touch, she decided to tie a yellow ribbon around her wrist.
She and Hermione bought many things in Hogsmeade. Already, they were running low on their ink and parchment. Their lunch was wonderful and was topped off with pumpkin juice. Walking out of the restaurant, Elza saw him. "Hullo Professor!" He looked surprised. "Good day, Miss Ocean, Miss Granger," he said with a nod. "I hope you haven't forgotten our date tomorrow," she teased. "I have not forgotten that you're coming for assistance in your studies," he replied with a slight blush.
As Elza and Hermione went back to Hogwarts, Hermione couldn't help but be surprised at what she'd witnessed. Was she dreaming! Elza was different and she somehow made Snape a bearable guy.
