All Hermione could do is stand there and blink, attempting to register on what her roommate had just said.

'Maybe this is just some wacky nightmare and I'll wake up in a few minutes' she thought.

"Isn't this great Herms?" Kristina asked, oblivious to her friend's look of utter shock.

"Oh, yeah, um, just swell." She finally choked out. Still, just to make sure it WAS a dream, Hermione pinched herself. "Ouch!"

"What'd you do that for?" the other girl asked out of concern. But before Hermione could answer she started talking again. "Because you better be in about 8 hours, cause' were going shopping!"

After that statement, Kristina then skipped to her room.

Awhile later, the realization finally came to Hermione. 'Oh my God, it isn't a dream! I need to start planning a way to get out of this!' Hermione thought. But then she remember the look on her friend's face and how excited she was.

'He probably won't even remember me. All the fame probably got to his fat head' But for some odd reason, the thought of Harry not remembering her made her get a tight knot in her stomach. Dismissing the feeling, she went back to bed.

The next day, Hermione woke up to her alarm clock beeping. Lazily, she sat up and look at it. 7:00am. Then she wondered why had she gotten up so early?

Then all of a sudden, the events of the previous night flowed back into her head. And with that thought, she groaned and fell back into the pillows.

"HERMIONE!" The door flew open and Kristina ran in and jumped on her bed. "You better get dressed! We're leaving in an hour! Oh my gosh! I still can't believe it…a day with Harry Potter!"

"Yeah, I can't believe it either" a mumble came out from the white fluff.

"Oh, well, anyways it's time for you to get up sleepy head! We have a full day of shopping to do!" and with that last statement Kristina left.

'Wow, today's going to be the worst day of my life' Hermione thought bitterly. It was one thing making her go shopping, but shopping for a day with Harry Potter? The thought sickened her.

After procrastinating for another ten minutes, Hermione finally got up. She then took a shower, got dressed and blow-dried her hair.

Slowly, she walked down the hallway into the kitchen where the aroma of tea was coming from. Peering through the kitchen door, she saw Kristina sitting at the table drinking it.

"It's about time sleepy head!" Kristina exclaimed. She then jumped up from the table and started toward the door.

"Don't I get any breakfast?" Hermione asked. She just noticed her stomach growled and she was indeed, hungry.

"We haven't the time!" she told her. "Our day with Harry Potter is this weekend, well, specifically on Saturday."

"What? But it's just Thursday!" the brunette said. "I really think you should have planned this another day, Saturday's too soon."

"Yeah, well it's all set, so let's go!" Kristina said, getting a little annoyed with Hermione's moodiness.

They got in the car and it was silent for a while, that was until, Kristina broke the silence. "Where do you think we should go shopping first?"

Hermione opened up her mouth to answer, but before she could answer…

"I think we should go to Bior" Kristina stated.

"Bior?" Hermione then exclaimed. "That place is so expensive! …And that's not even my cheap sake side of me talking."

"Well, this is a big occasion. I mean think about it Herms, Harry Potter. He's the biggest name in the Wizarding World AND the muggle world. This is a once in a lifetime chance!" the blonde explained.

Hermione just rolled her eyes, fearing that if she said something, the wrong thing would come out.

They finally reached their destination little while later. By this time it was 10:00am, and the store had just opened.

The two women walked inside and stared in awe. Never being there before, they thought it was huge. But being as persistent as they were, they started shopping around.

Hermione was looking over in the petite ladies section when something caught her eye. It was a huge coat, with a fur outlining. It was a beige brown and went to about her ankles. It came with a French Hat about the same color as the coat itself.

Now usually, Hermione didn't like things made of fur, but this coat was gorgeous! She looked at the tag and her eyes widened.

'1,500 pounds!' the girl thought. 'You have got to be kidding me!'

'But you haven't bought anything nice in awhile…' a voice in the back of her head countered.

'But it's so expensive!...And with the money I make…I'm not so sure I should get it' Hermione fought back.

'Hey! It's not like you find something like this everyday.' The voice said.

'Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll get it!' She finalized, grabbing the coat. Deciding to find Kristina first, so they can pay together, she walked around the store some more. She found her looking over at some silk outfits.

"I think I found what I want!" Hermione said, getting Kristina's attention.

Kristina turned around and gasped. "Oh my God Hermione! That fur coat is absolutely gorgeous!'

Hermione smiled. "Yeah, I know. Anyways, did you find anything you like?"

"No I didn't" the other women replied. "How about we get some ice cream and look at some different stores?"

"In the middle of December?" Hermione gave her a funny look.

"Why not? It's not that cold outside."

"Oh, fine. We'll go get ice cream." Hermione said, finally giving up.

The two once again got in the car and sped off down the street. They once again, drove in silence.

The car pulled up to a small ice cream parlor ten minutes later. Hermione and Kristina walked in it and was immediately hit with an aroma of hot chocolate, cake, muffins, and many more.

"Why haven't we seen this place before?" Kristina asked.

"Hmm, I don't know. But I'm glad we found it." Hermione answered, eyeing the chocolate fudge ice cream. They got what the wanted and finally sat down. Hermione was looking outside into the cold when she slipped into flashback.

FLASHBACK FOO

It was a Hogsmeade day in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All the students 3rd year and above was buzzing around the little town trying to find last minute Christmas gifts.

But there were two students in particular just walking in the snow. And those two students were Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. They usually had their other best friend Ron Weasley, but he was currently on a date with Luna Lovegood.

It had just started snowing and Harry broke the silence.

"Why don't we get some ice cream?" he asked.

"Harry, it's 25 degrees outside and you want ice cream?" Hermione asked incredulously.

"Yeah" Harry replied, smiling.

'How can I say no to that face?' Hermione thought.

So then they went to a little ice cream shop called 'Roomijs'. "I wonder why it's called Roomiges." Harry pondered out loud.

"It's Dutch for ice cream" Hermione answered automatically. Harry chuckled and bit his tongue trying not to say anything offensive. So then they walked up to the little counter.

"So what would you like?" the Worker Person asked in their thick Dutch accent.

"Ummm, Harry, you go first" Hermione said, not sure of what to get yet.

"I'll think I will get… Rocky Road!" Harry said, obviously not sure of what he was ordering.

"And I'll have chocolate" they then went and sat down to eat their ice cream. All of a sudden Hermione looked up to find herself getting lost it big, green orbs.

"Hermione" Harry said in a high pitched girly voice.

"HERMIONE!" Hermione had to have jumped at least three feet hearing her name being called out. She saw Kristina looking at her with an odd expression on her face.

"What?" the brunette answered irritably.

"I've been calling your name for the last 5 minutes. What on Earth could you have been thinking about to make you do that?" Kristina raised her eyebrows in suspicion.

"Oh, um nothing. Guess I just got lost in my thoughts" Hermione answered putting on a fake smile.

"Okay, whatever. Let's go look for an outfit for me now."

A/n: So yeah this is "Shopping: Part 1". Hope you guys liked it! I decided to cut the chapter in half was because I haven't updated in awhile…..so yeah. Hope you enjoy!
