hogsmead

classes were over for the weekend, Ginny and Audrey were going to hogsmead for the day, for the first time.

"eee! i'm so excited!" ginny squealed "i've been dying to go to hogsmead," Ginny flopped down on Audrey's bed, she was in her dorm, waiting for her to get ready.

"what are you wanting to do first?" Audrey smiled at her through her vanity mirror, as she curled her eyelashes.

"definitely the three broomsticks, Fred and George talk about it all the time, and then some shopping?" she said happily as Audrey applied a coat of mascara, "sounds good to me,"

Audrey finished her makeup, and decided to wear a brown turtleneck, black jeans, with a black shiny purse to keep her money in.

"let's go,"

***

"oh this is beautiful," Audrey said, taking in her surroundings. hogsmead was a very pretty town, filled with witches and wizards, and many many shops.

"cmon, three broomsticks is down here," ginny pulled her hand, looking down at a map.

the two girls walked swiftly through the crowd, making sure not to run into anyone.

they walked into the three broomsticks, it was warm, and busy.

"here," Audrey handed her some money, "get me a butterbeer and a cheese burger, i'm gonna go find a table."

ginny nodded, and headed to the counter to order.
Audrey found a table for two, just big enough for the two of them.

she watched the door out of boredom as she waited on ginny, and to her surprise Ron and Hermione walked in, without harry.

Ron's eyes almost immediately fell onto Audrey, a small smile plastered on both of they're faces.

they hadn't talked since the night of the party, but they were still on good terms. she gave him a small wave, and Ron and Hermione made they're way over to Audrey.

"hey Ron," she smiled, looking up at him. "hey, you here alone?" he asked, leaning his hands on the table.

"no dipshit she isn't, now go away." ginny said appearing out of nowhere, handing Audrey her butterbeer and cheese burger.

"hey gin," Hermione said with a laugh, "would you two like to join us?"

"yes," Audrey said almost instantly, standing up to find a table for them all remembering, George's words about her 'having no friends'

ginny scoffed, not wanting to hang out with her brother.

"great," Ron said with a smile, walking around to find a bigger table.

"i'll get us some butterbeer," Hermione said to Ron, swirly making her way to the counter. "here, this works" Ron said, leading the girls to a booth.

"so Audrey, i heard about you and dean," Ginny said, raising her eyebrows, "what about dean?" Ron's brows knitted together.

"nothing about dean," she assured them both,
"dean is not for me, plus he's not even my type."

"oh you've got a type now, huh?" ginny smiled, Audrey laughed as she brushed her hair out of her face.

Ron had never truly looked at Audrey, he watched across the table as she laughed so beautifully, pushing her long brown hair out of her face, she looked so lovely in the dimmed lighting of the three broomsticks.

she took a bite out of her cheese burger, truly starving after skipping breakfast to sleep in.

Ron smiled as he watched cheese drip out the side of her mouth, Audrey was never a very neat eater.

he waited until she set her burger back down, "you've got a little something right" Ron said as he picked up a spare napkin, and reached over the table, "there." he wiped it off, sending butterflies through her stomach.

Audrey could feel the heat raising to her face, cheeks and ears bright red.

ginny watched, confusion growing on her face.
Audrey could feel ginny's eyes on her, and she attempted to hide her red face.

"okay, i've got our drinks." Hermione said as she finally returned, "scoot in, Ronald." she scoffed.

the four of them left the restaurant, and began walking through many many stores.

"oh that's beautiful," Audrey said, observing a necklace in the shop window.

it was a gold chain, with a oval white sparkly pendant.

"oh it is," Hermione said, now looking at the necklace.

Ron watched as Audrey stared at the necklace longingly.

"Aud!" a voice from behind broke her gaze.

she turned around to be met with the Weasley times familiar faces, "yes, george?" she smiled looking up at him as they walked closer to her.

"what are you doing here with ickle ronniekins?"

"fuck off," Ron said with an eye roll.

"oh now don't get hostile ronnie," fred said smirking as he towered over everyone.
