Chapter four
They walked out the front door of Number twelve Grimmauld Place very well groomed that day. They each carried a stick with an artfully tied polka dot handkercheif containing some cheap mass produced pastries and fleece blankets with festive Disney prints on them. The prints they each selected on their blankets was an extreme use of symbolism involving the traits of the characters, therefore I will not be including the prints they selected in this chapter for the sake of ruining the effect of lightheadedness and good ol' fun that this story portrays.
Hermione glanced at her pretty little black watch, it read eight forty seven. They walked for what seemed like hours. They walked through rain and snow. That was really wet rain. The snow was wet too. Eventually they ended up at King's Cross Station.
"Why are we here" Ron asked, a quizzical look upon his carefully exfoliated features. Hermione glanced at her watch, eight forty nine.
"Ronald" Emma (Hermione never uses the term Ronald so evertime the term Ronald is used she will be reffered to as Emma, get used to it sucker) said exasperatedly"It's September first. School starts today."
"But we haven't gotten our books and other school supplies yet! My robes are a sad tone of grey because of the Woolite boycott! I can't go looking like this" Harry argued.
"Harry" Hermione looked stern"You have to go to school. You can borrow some of my robes for tonight and then"She lowered her voice drastically and leaned in close to her friends"We'll sneak out and Floo to Diagon Alley tonight. No one will know. We can even pull a Carson and use low gauge sandpaper and rock salt to distress our clothes so they don't look new"
"But isn't the sandpaper for leather" Ron whispered.
"I didn't say we were only getting robes." Hermione smirked"So is it a plan"
Ron looked determined"Only if I can borrow your robes tonight too."
"Alright."
"Let's go" Ron yelled, attracting glances from some passing prison guards and their pet ponies.
"Ronald..." Emma glared at him.
"Sorry." he whispered and boarded the train followed by his friends.
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the rain
We thank you for the sun,
We thank you for the rainbow,
It makes rainy days more fun.
