Chapter 3 - The Clothes and the Makeup:
Hermione and Ginny walked down 10th checking out the teen fashion stores. They
stopped at Aritzia and decided to go inside. Hermione's eyes grew big and she looked
at Ginny uncertainly. Ginny just grinned at her and started flipping through the
clothes.
Hermione decided she wanted nothing to do with picking out clothes so she went to
sit down on one of the red plastic chairs while she waited for her friend. Ginny the
fashion expert picked out 4 pairs of jeans, 8 tops - including talula's, tank tops, halter
tops, tube tops, and t-shirts - , 3 TNA sets, and 5 zip-up sweatshirts. She piled all the
clothes on Hermione's arms and pulled her to one of the dressing rooms. Hermione
pulled the thick black curtain closed and dumped all the clothes on the floor. First she
tried on a pair of Mavi jeans with a magenta talula. She looked down in disgust as the
neckline swooped way down low. Way too low for her liking. The white talula had a
rounded neckline and she felt it fit quite nicely. Hermione made 'No way', 'Maybe'
and 'Definitely' areas on the ground. The magenta one was a 'No way', the white one
was a 'Definitely', and the jeans were also a 'Definitely'. They were low, but
comfortable too. Next she tried on a dark green tank top with another pair of jeans
that looked like someone spray painted a strip of white down the middle. The jeans fit
great and so did the tank top. They both went in the 'Definitely' pile. Next in the pile
was one of the TNA sets. It was dark blue with double light blue strips along the
sides.
Hermione wasn't too sure if she liked it or not. It was kind of tight and she felt
uncomfortable showing so many curves. She put the set into the 'Maybe' pile, as with
the other two TNA sets. One was dark green and the other was white. She then put on
a pair of faded coloured jeans with a pink halter top. She liked them both and dropped
the clothes into the appropriate pile. Next was the last pair of jeans which were dark
with fake patches and stitches on them. She put on a light yellow tube top, but
immediately took it off. It felt as though it was going to fall off. She tossed it into the
'No Way' pile and tried on something else.
Ginny sat in one of the red chairs waiting for Hermione to come out. She didn't need
to buy anymore clothes since she already went on her big shopping spree last week.
She tried to imagine Ron's face when he finds out how different Hermione looks. The
mere thought of it made Ginny giggle. She was a gossip queen. Everyone would
agree,
but there was one secret that she didn't tell Hermione. Ever since the twins rescued
Harry from the Dursley's this summer, Ginny's hidden love for Harry started to grow.
It was true that she'd grown from the little first year girl to the teenage beauty she was
now. Her red hair turned a bit auburn and she has risen up to 5 feet 6. Not a bad height
for her. But he had grown too. He wasn't the scrawny thin kid he was a while back,
but the tall, handsome young man he is now. Not to mention muscular too. Everyone
knew before that Ginny had a crush on Harry, but that was before. She'd convinced
them that he was just a friend to her. Until now. His love for her probably grew as
well as they spent more and more time together. He was a great talker and an even
greater listener to Ginny's endless rambles. Soon enough, they both declared their
love for each other and are now a happy couple. Much to Ron's dismay of course. But
then again, nothing that included Ginny and guys satisfied Ron. Ginny thought that
Ron liking Hermione is quite sweet, but they are totally wrong for each other. The
straight A beauty and the dumb founded klutz? Not on this planet. But she didn't want
to see Ron hurt. She knew how much Ron loved Hermione, but it just wouldn't work.
Ginny sighed and ran her hand through her hair. Just as she looked up she saw
Hermione struggling with the pile of clothes. Smiling, she ran over to help her friend.
"So Mione, find anything you like?"
"Yes Ginny but, oof!" Hermione stepped on a hanger on the ground and fell down on
top of Ginny, who gave a small shriek.
"Ow! Hermione get off of me!" The girl squealed from underneath her and the pile of
clothes.
After a lot of rubbing of rear ends and dusting off, Ginny brought back the clothes
Hermione didn't like and Hermione walked over as gracefully as she could, after
falling on the wooden floor, to the cashier. After paying, the girls headed out,
Hermione with a big bag of her purchases.
As soon as they stepped out, Hermione hissed, "Bloody hell, Ginny! Why didn't you
tell me Aritzia clothes were so damn expensive?"
"Whoa, hold your horses. Thank you for asking that question so nicely. I'm sorry I
forgot to mention it, but most clothing these days are quite expensive."
Hermione nodded and shook her head. Her babysitting money is almost gone. The
money she'd worked so hard on. But then she thought of Harry. Don't worry, this will
all pay off. They wandered down the street in silence, just breathing in the summer
air.
Suddenly Ginny grabbed her wrist and lead her into a small shop. Inside were shelves
and counters of make-up. Every brand imaginable.
"Ok Hermione. I'll do the picking, you do the paying. Deal?"
Hermione gave her a small smirk and nodded. She was pulled from counter to
counter,
constantly ordered to whip out her wallet and say good bye to her hard earned money.
In the end, she only had a couple bucks left. In fact, she didn't even know what Ginny
picked out for her. A happy Ginny and a groaning Hermione pushed open the heavy
glass doors and stepped outside.
"Herms, when you get to my place I'll give you the spells to put on your make-up.
Until then, just don't mess around with them. You don't want to kill yourself do you?"
Hermione pulled a face and shoved Ginny lightly. They continued walking until
suddenly Ginny let out a small gasp. Hermione turned to her friend confused. Ginny
pushed Hermione into the nearby coffee shop.
"Ginny what the hell was that about? You look like you just saw the Dark Lord
himself!"
"Uh, can't explain right now Mione. Stay here, I'll be right back."
With that the red head turned abruptly and ran outside. The confused Hermione
shrugged and ordered herself a Mocha Malt Frappachino (A/N: sorry SP).
Ginny ran outside towards the two teenage boys she just saw.
"Ron! Harry! What in Merlin's name are you two doing here?" She panted.
"Gee Ginny calm down; we're just getting some fresh air." Her brother replied.
"Yea, your mum said since she let you come, we were allowed to as well," Harry
added.
"Oh no, I'll be right back," Ginny then tore off towards Starbucks.
She found Hermione inside sipping at her cold drink. Ginny rushed to her and pulled
her onto her feet.
"Hermione you have to go home right now!"
"What are you talking about? Are you ok Ginny? Are you ill or something?"
Hermione frowned at the girl and put a hand on her forehead.
"No no, Herms you have to go right now. I'll explain later, but you just have to."
"Alright, sheesh I'll go then," Hermione threw up her hands. "But you better explain
to me when I get to your house.
Ginny nodded and swallowed, darting glances nervously outside. 'Oh no, they can't
see Hermione. It has to be a surprise. They can't see her all change. They just can't!'
The young girl worried. Luckily, Hermione was already long gone.
Ok so there you go, another chapter done. REVIEW!!!!! Thanks for reading!
