Last Time
Hermione felt hungry and open her closet. She pulled on a black knitted vest over a long-sleeved white crisp shirt and threw on a pair of beige, short gypsy pants. Grabbed her purse containing her credit card and wand she approached her door where her shoes are kept. She slipped into her black heeled pumps and made her way down for breakfast.

Hermione
Hermione descended towards the kitchen and greeted the cook and asked for some toast and walked towards the refrigerator to take out the low-fat cheese. As Hermione was eating, Issy approached her, "Myayr, Madame Granger wants me to give you the car keys for your car." and handed her the keys. Hermione thanked her and started walking over to the door to the garage to start her journey to freedom. 'Oh…wow...' Hermione thought as she stepped into the garage. Her sports car was fantastic. In the next minute, Hermione was out of the house and cruising to town, "I'm going to be a new woman, sophisticated, but with an edge of being daring."
Once she was there, she started first by going to the salon to get her hair done. She walked in and approached the stylist "Hi, I'll like you to make the best out of my messy curls and tame it down to medium curls, I'll have my hair dyed black in color and that's all. Thank you." with that, Hermione sat down on the chair and let the stylist do her work.
One hour later, Hermione walked out the salon a new woman. She strolled into the Shopper's mall and went into "The Face Shop" a well known make-up store in Korea. There she bought all her make-up and walked off. After a few hours, she was done shopping for the things she needed for her new image and dropped her countless shopping bags into her sports car, making sure the top was down, she locked it and continued her shopping for more things to accessorize her room with.
Draco
"I know that you love me mother. But I will not allow you to exchange your life with my happiness…I'm sorry Mother, this time, I'm not going to listen to you." Draco said to himself as he was walking back to the ballroom. The entire night was a blur for him; he could not remember whom he had danced with, or what people had said to him. All that he could think of was his mother. As the guests left their home, Draco retreated back to his room. He lay on the bed thinking of what his mother had said to him. He knew that his father was using him as a puppet to get through to Voldemort, to get Voldemort to like himself and to bring about the Malfoy family's name to all over the world. But he could not do what his mother wants him to do. That day will come for him to make the decision, but it is not this day. As he laid thinking, he fell back into the dream world and into a deep, deep sleep.
The next afternoon, Draco was awakening by his mother. "Honey, dearest, we are meeting Pansy's family for dinner tonight. Get out of bed and go wash up ok? I'll lay out a suit for you." Draco got out of bed and headed to his adjoining bathroom. While he was inside, Narcissa laid out a black suit with a silver tie, pure silver cuff links with the Malfoy's family crest imprinted onto it and a pair of black boots on with he could place his wand in. "Honey, we'll be waiting for you in Saint Andrews restaurant 'Ciao Roma' apparate there." Narcissa said and left the room. Draco came out and stepped in front of the mirror, not that he was vain but, his body had indeed grown in places to be grown. He was a man now and all the surfing he did in the first two months of the summer was worth it.
He left the house with a heavy heart, knowing that his future will be set from the moment he had stepped onto the stage last night to accept the engagement.
Hermione
Hermione was cruising down the expressway back home. She got Issy and more male servants to help her with the heavier things that she had bought. As she sat down on her couch in her room, she magically opened all the boxes containing her new electronics. She placed the plasma television on the wall by the French doors and visualized a light grey 'L' shaped couch in front of it and in the middle placed a glass coffee table with an olive-colored rug under it. She made a wall that acts as a shelf with square cubicles and whispered the spell. After that, she placed all e ornaments and candles that she had bought. After that, she magically expanded her already large closet and started to fill the closet with her new clothes. She folded all her old clothes into the drawers; place her new make-up into a glass case and arranged all her accessories into her safe. After that, she had a shower and changed into a tank top and sports pants. She did some yoga before lying on the bed, falling asleep.
After she awoke the next they, she lay in bed thinking, 'I am left with 3 days to going back to school, I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy my books and Christmas Presents for Harry, Ron and Ginny! Oh! I'm gonna buy an owl too!' After a bath, she changed into a tiny black tube and looked at herself in the mirror. She knew that her body was very curvaceous but it was in the model style, her mother had complained that she was too skinny but she knew that she looked good. With that, she slipped into a light blue bareback jumper suit. It was made of a breathable material and ended at her mid-calf. She then picked a small black purse and slipped into her black heels with ankle cuffs and left a note for Issy that she left for Diagon Alley and will be back soon. With that, she stood in the middle of the room and apparated to Leaky Cauldron.
Once there, she started shopping for her books. She took out her booklist and went into 'Flourish and Botts', she shrank all her books and place them into one bag. After that, she walked into 'Quidditch Through and Through' a new shop at Diagon Alley. Inside she purchased two dragon scales armor for Harry and Ron, she was always worried of them injuring themselves in the house games. After that, she walked into 'Color yours this' selling hair dyes and purchased a blonde and chestnut color dye and walked off to a shop called 'Imagine it out' it was also a new shop. Inside stood a teenage witch a little older then herself, "Welcome to my shop! I am Kristen. What will you like to buy? A dress? Pants? We have anything that you want." she said to Hermione. Hermione looked around and found the shop looking like a living room and no clothes rack in sight. "But…whereare all the clothes?" she asked Kristen. "As the shop is called, you imagine your dress out. Come into the changing room with me. Take off your clothes and visualize the dress you want. I'll cast the spell and you will see it on yourself." Kristen informed her. With that Hermione walked up and imagine a light pink dress with flowery short sleeves, it reached to below her knees with a glitter ream at the end. The dress was bareback and had a silver glittered butterfly attached at the back with a stretchable cord and gold tendrils falling down from the back of it. Hermione informed Kristen and she cast the spell on Hermione. In a flash, she saw the dress materialize in front of her eyes. It was beautiful; she knew that Ginny would love it. With that, she changed into her normal clothes and paid for the dress. She walked into a pet store and looked through the owl, she found an owl which was beautiful…she was silvery blue in color. Hermione immediately purchased the owl and named it Orion. With that, she brought all her items and Orion home.
After a long day of shopping, Hermione was getting hungry. She started her car and drove off to a restaurant for dinner. It was a well known restaurant in Saint Andrews, Scotland called 'Ciao Roma' which serves Italian food.
Draco
Outside the house, Draco apparated to 'Ciao Roma', it was a quaint looking place. As he walked around the side to its main entrance, he was almost knocked down by a red porche. "WHAT THE…Hey, watch where you are going!" he screamed and walked into the restaurant. Once he was inside, he identified which table he was supposed to be seated at and strutted over. "Mr. and Mrs. Parkinson, how do you do? Miss Parkinson." He said. With a curt nod of his head, he sat down beside Narcissa. 'This is gonna be a long night…' he thought.
Hermione
As Hermione parked her car outside the restaurant, she ran through her head at what had just happened. 'I almost knocked down someone! A someone who looked very much like THAT STUPID FERRET I KNOW FROM SCHOOL! Wahahaha…serves him right.' With that, she slammed her car door and entered the restaurant. The waiter gave her a seat beside the window as she was alone. She scanned through the room and saw Draco. He was seated beside his mother. 'Aha…so he's really going to marry pug-face Pansy…Hahaha…I can't wait for school to start!' she thought to herself. That night, she ate her dinner silently hoping to hear something from Draco's table to tease him about in school. But after a long night and dessert, she got nothing out of it and paid the check and left for home.
