Chapter three: A Secret Leaned

"Gin? Ginny? What's wrong?" Ginny had been continuously looking over her shoulder, scanning the crowd, as if she was looking for someone, since they had left Diagon Alley.

"Nothing Ash. I just can't shake the felling that someone's watching me." Ginny just couldn't explain it, she could almost feel the offending eyes burning a hole in her back, and it didn't help that she kept remembering those steely silver orbs from the dark Alley way.

"Gin, honestly!" Ashley huffed in frustration. "Of course you feel like someone's watching you just look around, every muggle boy in the city is staring at you." This was only partially true they were practically drooling over both the beautiful young witches out shopping that day.

"No Ash! They're not staring at me, they're obviously drooling over you, I mean, you do have the perfect body." But as if determined to prove her wrong, a young, very handsome boy, with chestnut brown hair dark and blue eyes, walked over to her.

"Hello" He started "I must say you two look absolutely ravishing, heaven must be awfully lonely with its two most beautiful angles missing. My name's Hunter by the way." He stuck his hand out towards Ginny. His pick up line was terrible, but that's what made him seem so cute. Ashley was shaking uncontrollably at this, but the boy didn't notice, he had eyes for Ginny only.

Suddenly realizing he was awaiting a response she politely took his hand while replying, "Nice to meet you, my name is Ginny, and this is my friend Ashley." She half heartedly waved a hand towards her right side.

"Nice to meet you," he mumbled, not taking his eyes of Ginny or offering her his hand. But Ashley didn't care; she was eyeing the tall dark boy behind him, who was clearly waiting for him.

"I'm very pleased to meet you Ginny, this is my friend Jackson." He said gesturing behind his back to the boy a few feet way.

"Pleased." Ginny answered nodding to him, he stepped forward cautiously and took her out stretched hand before turning his attention to Ashley. The others hardly noticed them making small talk.

"Would you like to go to lunch with us, we were on our way to the café down the street." He gestured to a quaint little shop Ginny had been to once before and was very fond of.

"I would love too, but Ashley" She turned to her friend for the first time since introducing her and asked, "Do you want to go?" Ashley shook her head in response.

"Ginny we have to finish shopping by 5:30 and it's 3:15 now that only leaves us a little over 2 hours." She then turned to both boys and asked, "How about we meat you for dinner some where?" She looked hopeful, Ginny hoped the boys would comply, she really did like them, especially Hunter.

"That would be great" he said enthusiastically, "how about the same place, what time is good for you?" he asked looking back and forth between the girls

It was Ashley who spoke. "Well, we have to meet my parents at the bookstore at 5:35 we we're planning on going to dinner from there but I'm sure they'd be fine with the change, they would probably enjoy some time alone, not that they need it. Um… let's say around 6-ish, we might be a little late, if that's ok."

Identical grins spread across both their faces, and they nodded vigorously before saying goodbye and heading off.

Both girls turned there stunned faces inward to look questioningly at the other, resulting in them giggling like mad men. When there fit subsided they headed into the store they were standing in front of, they had some serious shopping to do, especially now that they were going on a double date that night.

Ashley lead Ginny to the back of the shop where a short slightly dumpy looking man was sitting and reading a fashion magazine and sipping on an iced tea, his ringed fingers poised, looking very much like a designer.

"Frederique!" Ashley called out hurrying over to the man. He looked up surprised then stood and hurried toward her pecking her on both cheeks before proclaiming,

"Ashley! … Darling, how are you? I haven't seen you in ages! Do tell me what you've been up to. I've missed you ever so much." He said in a high nasally voice.

Ginny giggled at this, "Oh and don't think I have forgotten you Ginevra dear, I haven't seen you since Ashley hear introduced us, ah what fun times. So how have my two most favorite girls been, obviously you been good, with those out fits you must be getting some gorgeous guys, ever have too many to handle you can send them my way." They all laughed at this, Frederique's attrition to men was no surprise to Ginny, she knew the first time she had ever met him.

"So what can I do for you today ladies?" He asked eyeing them curiously.

"Actually, we're here to get more Gorgeous out fits, added by you, of course." Ashley said mockingly. "Ginny here doesn't seem to know how to dress her self" He looked at Ginny's outfit obviously thinking her fashion sense was just fine, "No no no, I did her up today. But with your help I wish for her to learn this noble art herself, she does; after all, have an amazing body to work with." Ashley said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Ginny bit back a retort saying that she did too know how too dress her self, she just didn't like flaunting her body to the world.

It was as if Ashley could hear her thoughts because she then added, "Ginny, wearing nice clothes that compliment your body is not bad, and it's not 'flaunting your stuff' as you so gently titled it. It is simply making your presence know. And believe me there nothing wrong with that. So Frederique what do you suggest? I was thinking something along the lines of several more corsets like these," She gestured to the ones she and Ginny were wearing. "I mean after all they make almost any outfit fabulous she could even wear them over our school ro-uniforms" she corrected her self, after all no matter how much they loved Frederique they didn't know how he would react to them being witches, he was a muggle, after all.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, you two attend private school. What was the name again?" They had now traveled into the back room for private clients, they were very much alone.

"We go to Hogwa…er …um…er…wa…um…er…we…er…go…to..." Ashley was clearly trying to think of a name off the top of her head.

"We go to Smeltings" Ginny blurted out awkwardly, she only remembered this name because Harry had once mentioned that his cousin Dudely goes there.

"No! no you don't, you were going to say Hogwarts weren't you. I knew it. I knew it. Your witches. Oh this is fabulous." Frederique looked absolutely thrilled. Ginny nad Ashley stared at him dumb-founded. How? How could he possibly know about Hogwarts? How could he possibly know they were witches? Why was he not freaking out? How did he even know there were such things as witches? Was he a Wizard?

"Frederique What on Earth are you talking about? There are no such things as witches, and we are certainly aren't." Ashley said timidly, she did not sound convincing.

"Don't even try to lie to me. My brother went to Hogwarts. I'm just a muggle but he's a wizard. I know all about your world, I even get the daily prophet, though I have met some unkind words from people who see muggels as unclean, but I know you two aren't like that so, come on you know you want to admit it. Don't lie." He was grinning like a monkey; the resemblance was so close both girls burst out into hysterical fits of laughter.

It was several minutes till the girls restrained them selves, and then Ginny said breathlessly "Wow Frederique, you're a lot smarter than you look. And yes we are witches and we go to Hogwarts." Ginny was still giggling slightly at the unlikely-ness of it all.

"Well that's wonderful, now I know what I have to work with." And with that he walked out of the room only to come back with his arms full of clothes that he forced into Ginny's unexpecting arms, than shoved her into the changing rooms.

"I know what the Hogwarts students wear these days, I actually put an add in the Daily Prophet and you wouldn't believe how many hopeful girls have come here for my advice, it's actually a very popular spot, but I guess you two didn't read the add since it was put out during the time when they were having a go at Dumbledore, I stopped by subscription, but now it's back on. I go into Diagon Alley with my brother all the time; I have to go with him, since you can't get in without a wand. Any way enough about me, now on to Ginny. I want you to try the three different corsets on first to see which size and shape is best, because even though you look good in Ashley's it was not intend for your figure. And you are not allowed to decide which one is right put them on one at a time and come out here for us to choose." He sounded so delighted it was almost unbearable.

In the end it was decided that Ginny needed the next size up from Ashley and a different shape, Ashley's style was hiding Ginny's curves, unlike accentuating them as they did for Ashley. They gave her one in every color they had, because they make every outfit remarkable. They went as follows, Black with red (trim and lace), Red with black, Black with white, White with black, Darkblue/lightblue, Lightblue/darkblue, Emerald/black, Emerald/silver, Crimson/gold, Purple/lilac, Silver/black, Red/white, Yellow/gold, Sea foam green/ ocean blue, Lilac/purple, Gold/black. All in all there were 15 corsets. And all at half price since Ashley had a rewards card, and Frederique absolutely loved them.

They also got Ginny a rang of skirts in many different lengths and many different colors, lots of blacks and reds though, they just went so well with her complexion. Several pairs of for fitting jeans, slacks an cackys. There were also several pairs of shorts thrown in the lot, different colors and materials but lots of blacks in silk and satin. For shirts they gave her all things from simple button downs to spaghetti straps to tanks and elegant evening wear shirts, Ginny barley had time to look at them all, she couldn't even comprehend what they looked like, but she was trusting their judgment. They also got her some very seductive new sleeping garments, such as teddy's, chemise and baby dolls, one very skimpy Victorian corset style in particular. When Ginny asked why they bought her those since she didn't have any to whom she would wear them for, they simply said she needed a confidence boost and that this would give it to her.

They then helped her pick out a cute comfortable warm, knee length coat, that was cotton trimmed and form fitting. She also got several light jackets nad sweatshirts and hoodies.

Then both girls picked out several pairs of shoes ones for all occasions, they ended up with out about 15 each. Then they proceeded to choose dresses, they bought several short sweet sun dresses all the way down to elegant evening dresses to ball gowns, Ginny could hardly believe she still had money left, and it was all thanks to Ashley and Frederique.

With the remainder of her money she bought accessories, belts, bracelets(mostly different colored bangles) earrings, necklaces', rings, scarf's, headbands and a few cute anklets.

"Well, we're finally done, and it's only 5:00, we have time to pick out outfits for our dates and do our makeup." Ashley said excitedly back from the clock.

"Hunny, in my opinion, you two look perfect already. You don't want to seem desperate like you guys went shopping just for them. I think a simple makeup re-touch will suffice." He helped them get ready then waved at them heartedly as they left the shop to go meet Ashley's parents and tell them about their change of plans.

"Well Ash. I must say that was more fun than I have had in one day in a long time. But there's still more to come." They were walking along happily when a shadow was cast over them, before they could turn around hands slipped over their eyes, and a voice whispered in Ginny's ear, "Guess who?" She was scared; she didn't know what to do. She could tell Ashley was also not expecting this, and terrified at what was to happen to them at her sudden in take of breath, she could feel her going rigid next to her.

Ginny couldn't even get a sound past the lump that was forming in her throat. She felt her self being stared around, she thought she cold feel them staring at her through their hands.

T ha hands came away from her eyes, she screamed and fell back at the sight of who stood before her.
