Yay! Here's another chapter!
Chapter 8
Lindsay's POVWell, Cassi said yes. She's going to the dance with Shane. And I don't have a date yet! I'll find one. Anyways, today we are going shopping for dresses. This'll be fun.
"Cassidy! Time to get up!" I yelled, grabbing her pillow from under her head and whacking her with it.
"Why?" She said groggily.
"We're going dress shopping!" I said exasperatedly.
"Oh, yeah. Crud." She said, sitting up and grabbing some random outfit.
"Hurry!" I yelled. She came back out of the bathroom about 20 minutes later fully dressed with her hair pulled back into a bun. She had on a pair of baggy tan cargo pants, a boy's navy Aeropostale t-shirt on, and navy converse sneakers. I grinned.
"What?" She asked, grabbing her leather pouch and filling it with money from her trunk. I shook my head and poured some money into my purse.
"Okay, lets get this over with." She said, as I followed her down to the common room.
We walked to Hogsmeade with the rest of the students, but veered off towards the 'formal dress' shop while Austin and Shane said that they were going to Zonkos.
"How about this one?" I asked, holding up a fairly plain silk purple dress.
"No." She said shortly. I groaned.
"Stop! This is no fun when you're being a stinking stubborn mule!" I exclaimed. She rolled her eyes.
"Here," I said, handing her an armload of dresses, "I'll give you a bunch of dresses, you try them on, and I'll pick one for you." She mumbled something under her breath, but took the dresses and went into the changing room.
After a long, long time, and a large pile of reject dresses; Cassi came out in the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. It was light blue with a jade green sash. It was fitted, and it flowed in smooth ripples down to her knees. On the left side, it was up to her knee, but the right side flowed down to the middle of her shin. It was spaghetti strap, and came with a cute mesh jade green quarter length sleeve sweater. I gasped.
"You look beautiful!" I yelled.
"Fine. Can we get it and leave?" She asked.
"No, now we have to pick out shoes." I said, and laughed as she scowled at me.
We went next door and found the perfect jade green sandals. I got Cassi a blue hair band and blue purse. We carried our shopping bags up the street when suddenly an old-looking lady jumped out in front of me holding an acid-green quill poised over a piece of parchment.
"Lindsay Potter?" She asked shrilly. I looked at her like she was a mad woman.
"Yeah-" I said, but she cut me off.
"Wonderful! Wonderful to meet you Miss. Potter! And who is your boyfriend here? Oh how nice he's carrying your bags for you!" She said, looking at Cassi. I looked at the lady, bewildered. Cassidy glared at the woman.
"No, this is Cassidy-" She cut me off again.
"Oh, that's a very odd name for a boy." Said the lady, as her quill scribbled away on the parchment.
"No, not my boyfriend! Cassidy is a girl. She's my best friend!" I said as Cassidy glared at me also.
"Oh. Well, that's disappointing. Anyways, I'm Rita Skeeter. Pleasure to meet you! And you are?" She asked, holding out her hand to Cassi.
"Cassidy Granger." She said shortly, ignoring Mrs. Skeeter's hand. Rita Skeeter gasped.
"Hermione Granger's girl?" She asked, looking at Cassi suddenly like she was something unpleasant on the bottom of her shoe.
"The one and only!" Cassi said, grinning sarcastically.
"Oh. Well, Lindsay, may I talk to you for a minute?" She asked. I nodded uncertainly, and told Cassi I'd meet her in the common room, and followed Rita Skeeter.
Cassidy's POV
I can't believe Lindsay! Mum told me all about that horrible Skeeter woman and how she made terrible rumors about Mum and Harry. And Lindsay went along with her! Tomorrow there will be this atrocious article about Lindsay and she won't be too happy. That'll teach her.
"Hey! I'm back!" Lindsay yelled from the portrait hole. I rolled my eyes and went back to my star chart. She came running to where Austin, Haley, and I were sitting. Shane had already gone up to bed.
"And I have a date to the dance! Ian asked me!" She added. I grinned.
"I never would've guessed." Said Austin sarcastically. I grinned and hit him playfully over the head.
After I finished my homework, I went up to bed.
The next morning, I went down to breakfast and my owl came down and gave me the morning edition of the Daily Prophet. The article on the front page was headlined: Lindsay Potter: A look inside the famous Potter boy's daughter
Rita Skeeter (A/N: To anyone who's expecting a wonderfully elaborate aricle, you'll be sadly mistaken. So pleaseeeee don't flame me for it.)Yesterday I spotted Ms. Potter shopping with her friend Cassidy Granger (who looks strangely like a boy) in Hogsmeade. I took the time to ask Ms. Potter a few questions about her personal life.
"I don't think I'm as famous as my dad, but there are definitely some people who still act like I'm royalty." Said Ms. Potter. She also says that people often confuse her friend to be a boy, and it gets very tiresome. She says it is a drag when she gets excited about boys and Cassidy doesn't share in the enthusiasm.
"She has never dated in her life, and has never shown an interest in boys. I sometimes even wonder if she is a boy herself." Says the young girl knowingly.
At this I stopped reading. I took the article and ran to my dormitory, eyes filled with tears.
Hermione's POV
"Oh, that woman is awful!" Hermione screamed, thrusting the same article at Katie, who read it with mounting fury.
Uh, oh. Oh the drama! (Lol Kailee) REVIEW!
