A/n: Thanks for the reviews. I only got 2 for the last chapter, but I'm hoping to get more for this one. I had a lot of fun writing this. It's mostly just fun stuff as preparation for the Halloween Dance, but Pansy finally puts Draco in his place. Here's Chapter 5!!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything :-(

Chapter 5 – Shopping

The week flew by quickly. Before everyone knew it, it was Friday morning. Hermione woke up and got ready.

She didn't have to wear her uniform so she put on a pair of black pants with a green V-neck t-shirt. She left her hair down. She didn't wear any make – up or jewelry except her ring.

Hermione walked to the great hall with Ginny, who was wearing blue jeans and a baby blue T-shirt under a white sweater. After breakfast they met up with Pansy.

As they walked around Hogsmeade they saw a costume store. They decided to go in and look around.

When they entered they saw Lavender and Parvati looking around. They went over and talked for a bit.

They decided they would spend the rest of the day together. They started looking for costumes. Hermione looked through the costumes; she couldn't find anything she really liked. She heard lavender squeal, which meant she found something she wanted.

Lavender quickly headed to the change rooms where she tried on the costume. The other girls waited around the door eagerly. She opened the door. She was in a grass skirt and bikini top.

"I'm a hula girl" she said.

"It's nice are you going to get it?" asked Pansy.

"Yeah I really like this one." As Lavender changed back the other girls continued looking.

Parvati found a cat costume, it was all black and came with ears and a tail. Pansy found a section with a bunch of movie costumes so they decided to look there.

"Hey Luna, why don't you get this Tinkerbell costume and you can match Harry because he's going as Peter Pan," said Hermione, maybe that would help push them together. It was a short green strapless dress with wings attached to the back.

Ginny decided to go as Ariel from The Little Mermaid because she had the red hair, the mermaid costume looked great on her.

Pansy smiled to herself as she looked through the costumes; she knew Blaise was going as Eric and they would look so cute together.

Hermione found the gold dress from Beauty and the Beast. Pansy got the blue and yellow dress from Snow white she also got some red ribbon for her hair.

They walked out after purchasing their costumes. They went to some other stores to buy make-up and nail polish.

After buying everything they decided to walk around for a bit. As they were walking they ran into Malfoy, Blaise and their gang of wannabe ferrets (Crabbe and Goyle).

"Pansy," Malfoy asked pretending to look surprised, "I knew you were desperate, but I didn't think you were desperate enough to hang around with the Mudblood, Weaselette and loser Gryffindorks."

"Shut Up Malfoy," said Pansy.

"Oh look boys, Parkinson's going Gryffindor on us," sneered Malfoy. Pansy stepped forward and slapped him across the face. He staggered backwards looking shocked.

"You call me desperate, 'cause I have friends in Gryffindor. But I'd rather be friends with them then with a jerk like you." Said Pansy and she turned around flipping her hair.

Pansy and the other girls walked back up to the castle smiling, but none of them were happier than Pansy. Lavender and Parvati soon excused themselves to do something, so it was just Ginny, Hermione and Pansy.

"Good job Pansy, Malfoy really deserved that." Said Hermione.

"Yah, you go girl," added in Ginny, "did you see his face after you slapped him."

"Thanks, I couldn't have done it without you guys." Said pansy earnestly.

"What! We didn't do anything."

"But I wouldn't have done it if I were by myself," said Pansy, "You guys are great friends. Well anyway, I have to go clean up for dinner. Bye."

A/N: I hope you liked that chapter. Please review! The next chapter might be up a little late, but I may post it earlier if I get enough reviews:-D
