Death Eaters

Chapter 28: Bold and Confident

Ever since we suffered that tragic night from the surprise dementor attack, our flight to France was pushed back. Me and the gals needed more time to talk about the incident. I suppose now that Father has taken control of the ministry, it is absolutely unquestionable that he was the one who commanded the dementors to attack us. Well.. maybe not intentionally us, but I assume they were out looking for Harry. Plus, we've barely gotten enough sleep when we got inside my apartment. It's currently 6 in the morning and I don't know why I'm already up at this time when i'm normally not. Our flight leaves at the afternoon, exactly 3 pm. I suppose we have enough time to wander around London and go for an extreme shopping spree. Plus, this was Victoria's idea anyways. She quoted, "This is the only way for me to get Hermione Granger's trust in no time. A multi-high class shopping spree."

What a cringe quote, Victoria.

I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen, made myself some iced caramel latte with whipped cream on top. Soon after, Victoria and Hermione went down and decided to join me with their presence in the kitchen. Victoria just got her self a glass of milk, whilst Hermione just got a mug of warm lemon tea.

"So, what time should we leave?" I asked Victoria.

"In an hour, we should have more time to roam around London. Since I haven't visited the place for a while, it feels nostalgic to be back with all the memories coming around." She responded while drinking her glass of milk.

"Hm.. Should we go to Harrods first?"

"Oh, yes! I forgot about Harrolds. The newly opened british restaurant there is to die for!"

"I was thinking maybe we could go shopping first, though. Then eat. Been eyeing something at Valentino that was re-stocked weeks ago." I exclaimed.

"Oh! And do you remember the shoes I told you about that I wanted to buy from YSL?"

"Yeah.. No. I don't."

Victoria rolled her eyes upon my negligent behavior, "The Opyum Leather Pumps?!"

"Oh yeah..! I've heard of it. It's chic I guess."

"Agreed!" Victoria couldn't agree more. She turned to Hermione, silently listening on our conversation as it was obvious that she couldn't relate to our current topic. "How about you, Granger? Are you into luxury too?"

"Oh um.. Not exactly, I find luxury items overvalued and too expensive for a typical low-life like me. I frequently shop at low-end stores, just like the thrift shops just down the street." She responded in her subtle voice, pointing towards the window. Yeah, there were a lot of people selling vintage and re-used clothes down the street.

"But, are you eyeing for something?" I asked.

"I suppose I find Dior quite nice.."

"Which item in Dior?" Victoria asked, too.

"Just a sweater.."

"What sweater?" I asked.

"Um.."

"Is it the Christian Dior sweater?" Victoria asked.

"No-"

"Mariniere sweater?" I asked, again.

"No.. it was-"

"The cardigan?" Victoria asked, again and again.

"Um.. I don't-"

"The Dioriviera sweater?"

"I guess that's the name," Hermione said, being able to catch her breath after answering our constantly asked questions. "But, it's rather too expensive for me. I can't afford luxury items at the moment."
