A/N Hey! I have posted two new stories check them out! One is a Trixie Belden fic, read it even if you don't know it because I'll explain who everyone is etc. in my Authors note. (Please review that story I have only one little review there and well I'm the reviewer so I only know that I'm pretty much the only one who read it) The other one is a one shot, - it's not mine, characters and background belong to J.K Rolling and the idea and most of the plot belongs to Drucilla L. I own a teeny tiny part of the plot. A very funny but short it is an April Fools fic, and it's Harry Potter, Hogwarts forgets April Fools day and Fred and George come to attack. It is called An Extremely Boring story to fool you guys. You can find them in my pen name. Enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 12: Christmas Shopping in Hogsmeade!
Hermione jumped out of bed when her alarm rang and immediately got dressed and ready to go to Hogsmeade, she started to make her list:
Christmas List
I need a present for…Ron Harry LavenderMcGonagallFlitwick Sprout Binns All my other teachers Dean Seamus Ginny Parvati
Ok, I think I'm ready. Hermione said to herself she went down to the common room, to find Harry, Ginny and Ron,
"Hey guys," said Hermione
"Hi, what took you so long?" asked Harry
"Making my list" said Hermione unrolling the long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long list
"Ok," said Ginny
"Why don't you and Ron go to Hogsmeade together, I mean you need a lot of presents because both of your lists are long and you'll probably going to a lot of the same stores and-"
"uh… well" started Ron
"We can't" said Hermione
"Not that we don't want to"
"No of course not!"
"But it would waste a lot of time"
"And we, we"
"Have schedules on our list!"
"Yeah and they are all different!"
"I need to go to Honeydukes first!"
"See it's different I need to go to the book store first!"
"It's all entirely different!"
"We don't have enough time to change the schedule!"
"Ok, we get it you don't want the other to see what your getting everyone do you?" said Ginny
"Um, yeah" said Hermione and Ron in unison
"You could have just said that you know," said Harry
"Oh," said Hermione and Ron again
"Come on lets go," said Ginny dragging her friends along out of the common room
In Hogsmeade:
Lets do Hermione's shopping first shall we readers?
Hermione went to Honeydukes to get little candy canes as a little tidbit present for everyone in Hogwarts. Then she stopped by the bookstore to get these books:
1001 ways to attract a guy (For Ginny)
2 copies of hair and makeup for the amateurs (for Parvati and Lavender)
Auror training for dummies (For Harry)
Quiddich: The greatest of the all: NEW EDITION! (For Harry)
How to play Wizards Chess for dummies (For Dean)
All about Chudley Cannons: FAN CLUB EDITION! (For Ron)
1001 ways to attract a girl (for Seamus, he needs help telling Parvati he likes her)
How to bore your students with a lecture for dummies (for Binns)
Growing charms for dummies (for Flitwick)
Basic magic for dummies (for Sprout)
How to prank the smelly Potions master (For McGonagall)
How to Prank the old Transfiguration teacher (For Snape- Hermione is not going to sign the card though) She also got a bag of treats for the owls in owlery
Then she stopped by Gringotts to take out a few extra galleons and went to the men's
jewelry store.
"Hello miss how may I help you?" Asked the jeweler
"Um, may I see that bracelet over there?" (Three guesses who the bracelet it for!)
"This?"
"Yes,"
"This is a very nice choice, Miss, solid gold, and it's 199 galleons and 5 sickles but since it's the Christmas sale we'll cut it down to 150 galleons and 3 sickles"
Hermione examined the bracelet carefully, it was very fine quality, and a little pricy but decent enough.
"I'll take it." Hermione paid the man and left the store, quite satisfied and headed for a store that sold wrapping paper and ribbons she bought a nice roll of wrapping paper that had a picture of little kids shaking presents. Also bought a set of ribbons and lots of gift labels. Then she set out for the Three Broomsticks to meet up with her friends.
Now lets see how Ron's shopping is going:
Ron started out by getting Dean the Wizards chess set, got Harry the dressing thingy, bought Ginny a book on 1001 ways to attract a guy but still stay modest Got Seamus a book on How to prepare for a girl's evil ways to try to ask you out He went to Gringotts and took out a handful of galleons plus the galleons he scrimped and saved to get some stuff. He noticed the women's jewelry store was having a clearance sale. He ran right over.
"Hello, Sir, what can I do for you?" asked the sales lady
"Um, may I see that necklace?"
"This? That's great, we've been trying to sell it for months! It is 12 karat gold with a ruby as the book charm and no one's been interested because no one likes books that much."
"I know someone who does, how much is it?"
"How much do you got?" Ron looked at his money,
"How's seventy galleons and six sickles?"
"Well it is worth more but we can't get any one else to buy it so it's better than nothing, you got a deal." Ron paid the woman and she gave Ron a complimentary case since he actually bought the gorgeous necklace. He went and bought some wrapping paper with his leftover money and headed for the Three Broomsticks.
I would do Harry and Ginny's shopping but that would take a long time, and plus this is mainly a Ron Hermione fic so yeah lets go to the Three Broomsticks
"Hey Hermione!"
"Oh, Hi Ron!" said a tired Hermione lugging a lot of bags
"Whoa that's a lot of bags."
"You don't seem so bad your self," said Hermione looking at Ron's bags he didn't have nearly as much but they were big.
"My gifts are big,"
"Hey guys!" said Harry and Ginny coming in with not as much as there two friends.
"Hi, just wonder how did you all spend?" asked Hermione
"Well, I spent 60 galleons and 8 sickles and 4 knuts," said Harry
"I spent 100 galleons 12 sickles and 3 knuts," said Ginny
"I spent, 120 galleons and six sickles and 4 knuts." said Ron
"Well, I spent, you'll never believe this 220 galleons and 9 sickles." Her friends stared at her it was Harry who broke the silence.
"I'm thinking the butter beers are all on me since I spent the least amount here."
"Hermione how did you even get that much money?" asked Ron
"I have a summer job at the book store here, and for muggle money, my parents give me an allowance during the summer so I get stocked up on both types of money."
"Oh," They enjoyed their butter beers, and then Ron got an idea
"Hey lets pretend to be drunk"
"Ok, this'll be fun," said Ginny Harry burped,
"AhhhhAHHH AAAAAAAAAA" Hermione sang, the people stared, they stood on the table and danced, Hermione took her jacket off, and threw it away Ron's pants some how fell off, which is still a mystery to the trio.
"OH MY GOSH THOSE TEENS ARE SO DRUNK THEY ARE GOING TO STRIP DANCE!" yelled a customer so there trio along with Ginny got thrown out, Ron had put his pants on they started laughing and walking around Hogsmeade like drunk people hand in hand swinging a lot of bags.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha we look like idiots you know that right guys?" said Hermione
"We know," said Ginny "But it's fun!"
"Yeah," then Ron started singing
"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer ha, ha you take one down pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall." Then Ron burped, his friends started laughing their heads off,
"Ron that really sounds like we're drunk people!" said Harry
"Let's all sing it!" said Hermione
"Yeah why not?" said Ginny
"1,2,3, 98 bottles of beer on the wall 98 bottles of beer! You take one down pass it around 97 bottles of beer on the wall!" They chorused hiccupping from all the laughing and making themselves burp, pretending to be drunk is SO much fun. "97 bottles of beer of the wall 97 bottles of bbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! You take one down pass it around 96 bottles of beer on the waaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll!" Hogsmeade is staring
"What? Can't you admit it's fun to pretend to be drunk?" asked Ron. The people in Hogsmeade shrug their shoulders and start singing,
"96 bottles of beer on the wall 96 bottles of beer! You take one down pass it around 95 bottles of beer on the wall!" Ron was now acting drunkenly conducting Hogsmeade in the song. Some people took out their musical instruments and pretended to play drunkenly.
"This is so much fun!" said Hermione
"I know," said Ginny "You just seem to be able to let yourself go and have fun, I just don't wanna pretend to have a hangover."
"I'm with you there!" McGonagall was leaving a store to see what's going on, she sees everyone in Hogsmeade, even kids from Hogwarts singing, a crazy song acting like their drunk then she sees the Golden Trio along with Ginny dancing on an outdoor table with Ron conducting everyone drunkenly
"What is going on here!" no one could hear her, everyone was too off key to hear, she sighed and put her want to her neck,
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" Everyone was quiet now, especially the kids from Hogwarts they had never, NEVER heard their teacher swear. That was a moment to remember
"Mr. Weasley, kindly explain what is going on!"
"Well, professor, we were having fun and we need to lighten up a bit right guys?"
"YEAH!" said Hogsmeade
"Well, it's time to head back to Hogwarts, get a move on it!"
"Ok, how about we sing that song as a march back huh guys?"
"YEAH! 94 bottles of beer on the wall 94 bottles of beer, you take one down pass it around…." Sang the kids at Hogwarts marching back
When the trio got back they were still singing finishing the song:
"One bottle of beer on the wall one bottle of beer, you take one down pass it around, no more bottles of beer on the wall!"
"That was fun!" said Ron
"Yeah," said Hermione, then she fainted
"Hermione! Cried Ron, catching her
"Do you think it's because she sang her head off out there?" asked Harry
"Harry that's not funny, lets take her to the hospital wing," Ron levitated her and they went to the Hospital Wing with Hermione floating above them unconscious. They burst through, the hospital wing,
"MADAM POMFREY!" called Harry, Ron and Ginny in unison, Pomfrey didn't come, and they now had to go to the now extreme measures
"99 BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL 99 BOTTLES OF BEER! YOU TAKE-"
"What is it now!" cried Pomfrey, "Oh, you guys again, put whoever you got on the bed,"
"She fainted when we got back from Hogsmeade," said Harry
"What was she doing in Hogsmeade?"
"Shopping, had a butter beer, we pretended to be drunk and started singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall, that was fun, got all of Hogsmeade singing it, then sang it on the way home, she fainted in the common room" said Ron
"Hmm, it's either too much singing, and dehydration since she had no liquid while singing, or allergies, but I don't see why she'd faint because of allergies. When she wakes up I'll give her a potion, and ask her a few questions, I may have her stay over night, this may get serious I'm not sure. You may go now I'll send some one when she wakes and is ready for visitors."
"Ok,"
Later that evening Hermione was released from the hospital wing, and was told not to party around, so she went to bed early. Ron, Harry and Ginny went to bed early to so they wouldn't feel bad when Hermione might miss some fun.
