Ch. 4: Detoured Shopping
"Oh.. wow.. am I ? Really? Wow.." Regina said while awkwardly holding up her much too big and much too short skirt. "Professor.. that was quite an illusion charm!" Regina said after a moment of admiring herself through Ginny's hand mirror.
"Aww.. Yes. I suppose your regular clothing may be a tad too big. Here take this, as a birthday present. Your Uncle Severus pitched in some too", Dumbledore handed Regina a large bag of gold. " I suggest a quick shopping trip down at Hogsmede would be quite appropriate. They have some lovely stores down there", He smiled at the two girls and turned to Janice, " Now may I be so kind as to invite you to lunch? The rest of Regina's teachers will be there and I believe Mr. & Mrs. Weasley will be joining us", He offered his hand to Janice.
"Why I think this is a fine thing to kick off my last day of freedom before the conference!" Janice took Dumbledore's hand jokingly and allowed her self to be led down to the Great Hall. "Oh and girls!" she called back "Your staying in Hogsmede at the joke shop!"
"Bye mum!" Regina called to her (foster) mother's retreating back and grabbed Ginny excitedly, "SHOPING SPREE! We'll get a bit of gold from Fred and George so I wont be alone. Moral support you know?"
Laughing their heads off the girls sprinted towards the joke shop (Regina still holding up her skirt) to find the twins.
"GEORGE! FRED! OH DEAREST BROTHERS OF MINE! I NEED A FAVOR!" Ginny screamed once they had entered.
"A favor?" Fred asked
"What kind of favor?" George asked
"I need some gold to go shopping!" Ginny answered
"Let us think about it.." Fred said
"UMMMM NO!" They both answered in unison.
"Well then you two .. I'm gonna tell mom about the time I caught you both having s.." Ginny began
She was promptly gagged and the twins grabbed some money and tossed it in a bag for her.
"Here you are sis, and who is this beauty? One of your friends Gin? Well I'm Fred the good looking one", Fred said with a flourished bow.
Regina giggled. She looked expectantly at George who plainly said, "Hi Hermione..Or should I say Regina?"
Ginny's eyes widened, "But how did you?"
"Extendable Ears, sis"
"Makes sense, well George explain all this to Fred the confused one. Regina and I have some power shopping to do" Ginny said with a wave and flounced out of the store.
Regina was laughing so hard she didn't even realize that Ginny had left. She quickly sprinted after her and suddenly SMACK! She was (for the third or fourth time that day) knocked down to the ground.
"Oww.. Are you ok?"
Regina froze.
Blue eyes met violet ones
Draco froze.
He had never seen someone like her before
Her hair was silken midnight cascading down her back
Her eyes saw down into the very depths of his soul
Who was she?
"Yo' FERRET BOY! Your not exactly a marshmallow by any means" Regina snapped feeling a bruise coming on.
"A marnellow? What are you talking about?" Draco asked quite confused by the comment.
"HA HA VERRY FUNNY. Have you seen Ginny?" Regina asked, still irritated that she might have a bruise.
"Yea, she's hanging out with Blaise." He said while pushing himself off her, "But who are you?"
"I'm Regina Prince. But better known to you as Hermione Granger"
Draco's mouth wordlessly opened and closed a few times.
"Careful you'll catch flies doing that" Regina warned and then, as if to prove her point, a small fly attempted to fly into Draco's mouth.
"Sit" said Regina, "Let me tell you the full story". She sat there with Draco for a few moments as she recounted all that had happened to her that morning.
"Wow.." Draco said his mind wildly racing
"You know Regina I'm probably going to regret this moment for the rest of my life." He said bluntly
"Why is that?" Regina asked warily
"Because I know that you're still the same bookworm I taunted all those years ago. And knowing you, you're never going to it down." He smirked running a finger along her cheekbone slowly turning her face towards him.
Regina involuntary shivered knowing full well what was coming next.
He lowered his lips onto hers. Regina stiffened for a moment and then gave in, melting into the kiss. She distinctly heard shouting but was too preoccupied to care.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
A/N: OK… I'm home ALL day tomorrow and guess what? I'm gonna write! SO get ready! Sorry these are short.. but it keeps you coming right? Actually these are just good points to stop and helps me attempt to keep my awful spelling and grammar under control.
