Just Go For It

Chapter 25

It was now Saturday. Hermione was sorting out stuff for Hogsmead. Since she was Head Girl she had to help the 3rd years most of the time there so she only got about 1 hour to herself and Ginny. She didn't really care she did love children but they were allowed to go around on their own as 3rd years, so it was sort of strange. She got dressed in a warm scarf and gloves and decided not to wear a hat. Hermione also wore a red coat with black buttons. She put the list of ingredients for the potion in her coat pocket and make sure it wouldn't fall out. She got her bag and put her purse in it. Her hair was curly as usual and she had a red headband in her hair. She walked to the Gryffindor Common Room and to no surprize at all Ron was eating crisps sitting on the sofa being bugged by Lavender. Hermione just ignored them and went up to the girl dorm's. It was like it always was beds all made girly photo's make-up on the floor as well as straighteners and hair accessories. Ginny was messing with her own hair and make up. Ginny turned around and saw Hermione.

"Hey 'Mione."

"Hey Ginny."

"Sorry I'm not ready yet."

"What time did you get up Gin?"

"9:00AM"

"But it's 12:30PM now. What have you been doing?"

"Hair, make up sorting out clothes, jewellery..."

"You've spent 3 hours and 30 minutes on getting ready?"

"Yeah it's not that bad is it?"

"Let's just say Ginny on the night of the Christmas Ball get ready at 2pm."

"Why?"

"Because you're taking ages on just going Hogsmead. For the ball you will take longer."

"Good point. When is the Christmas Ball?"

"21st at 7:00pm to 1:00am"

"Okay 'Mione I'm ready."

"Finally."

Hermione and Ginny left for Hogsmead. They went as usual on the carriages. It took longer than usual because of all the snow.

"'Mione it's taking ages and it's cold!"

"Ginny just bare with it some people had to walk."

"How can people walk in this weather?"

"I don't know Ginny why don't you ask someone."

"I just asked you."

"And I don't know so ask someone who walked."

"How do I know if they walked?"

"Because they will be freezing and covered in snow."

"I'm freezing!"

"Ginny we are all freezing and we are almost there."

"How many more minutes?"

"About 5."

"Ughh. Why don't I be a walking person now."

"Because that would take longer."

"Why can't they do a spell to get rid of the snow."

"Ginny stop asking me questions that I don't know the answer to."

"But you always know the answer."

"I know the answers to magic but not snow."

"Why does it snow."

"Oh my God Ginny go ask a weather person if you want to know and if you haven't noticed I'm not a weather person!"

"I was only asking. Wait. Yay were here!"

Ginny got off the carriage and spotted a dress shop and signalled Hermione to go with her.

The shop was called 'Vanessa's Dress Boutique'. They went inside the shop and looked around it looked beautiful. The walls were white and the carpet was light pink. There was a black corner sofa and chairs and a lovely glass table with a catalog on it. With fancy cursive script writing saying 'Vanessa's Dress Boutique'. The dresses were all different colours and styles. Ginny saw a perfect purple dress which was a one shoulder dress and took it off the hanger and went to try it on. Hermione looked around and saw a navy blue strapless dress and also went to try it on. When Hermione came out with the dress on she saw Ginny with the dress she picked out on.

"Gin you look perfect in that dress."

"Well it is called Perfect Purple. And you look perfect in you're's to.

"Thanks Gin."

"You're welcome 'Mione."

"My dress costs 150 Gallons which isn't that much as I thought it would be."

"Mine costs the same."

"I have enough do you Gin."

"Just about."

They went and got changed and payed for the dresses. Ginny went to a Jewellery shop and Hermione went trying to find the ingredients. She found all of the items but the Horn of a Unicorn and the Pure Red Rose. This would be harder than Hermione thought. It was getting late so everyone had to go so she went back and thought about how to get the other items.
