STALK THIS THREAD! ... I mean: Shopping Spree (Di)

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve so needed this. Get away from the castle for a LONG while. It was a week ago that everyone's lives took a big U-Turn in the road called Life-Where-Merlin-Hates-Your-Damn-Lives-So-He-Will-Throw-Crap-At-You-Unexpectedly.... Or something relatively close to that. Not far though.

Maeve stood at the entrance of Hogwarts waiting for Diana. Diana was the one who recommended this trip for the both of them. The Gryffindors had been on everyone's mind non-stop, and she said shopping was the only way to go to get them out of their minds.

"Not likely. I met Aiden down there." she sighed.

[Diana Fortuna]

Diana giggled as she got dressed for the shopping trip. She was wearing jeans and a halter top that exposed a good inch of her stomach. She looked dolled up and had good reason. In case she saw someone who she wanted to impress, she would be ready to get her flirt on.

When she saw Maeve, she heard her words. "Oh dear don't let it bother you I'm sure a good shopping trip is all we need," she said smiling. Giving her a hug she looked around. "My father sent me a good lot of money, he said to get something nice, and so I will most definitely take that advice," she giggled lightly. She was actually in an exceptional mood and hoped that no one would change that for her.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Upon seeing and hearing Diana, Maeve couldn't help but feel happy. Her friends always made her that way. "Oui, madamoiselle. If shopping is tha cure, than shopping is what we shall do." she pulled out a sac of money from her jeans back pocket. "Same with my parents. Except, I only told them I wanted to shop for some dress, which I guess I'll have to since they're holding a ball, of which you WILL be attending to keep me in a right mind. And Hogsmeade has such nice dresses, so I thought you'd help when you mentioned this trip, since you're the fashion of the group of us." she grinned.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace was walking back to the castle when she passed two girls who she happened to overhear talking about shopping. Grace, being a typical girl, loved shopping so decided to be a little more adventurous then usual. She stopped walking and turned towards them.

"I couldn't help but overhear you two are going dress shopping," she said, joining them slowly, "could I come with? I've been meaning to but I just haven't gotten around to it." She smiled warmly at the two, almost pleadingly. She didn't know the two and they didn't know her. And the thought suddenly dawned on her that they might slap her and send her on her way. She smiled nevertheless to try avoid that.

[Tim Haunting]

(OOC: I'm not sure why i'm in this thread.. but blame it on boredom)

As Tim walked around he sighed. Hogsmeade was rather boring around this time and he was about to leave. However, when he spotted his cousin along side Maeve and then Grace he smirked. How curious, he thought to himself.

Making his way over to them, he smiled charmingly. "Hello ladies," the lot of French that he had been speaking lately had affected his accent. "Diana, Maeve, Grace... what may I ask are you girls doing..." he looked a bit worried.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve smiled at the girl. "I see no problem with it. The more the merrier, and we need the merrinest. May I ask of your name?"

When Maeve spotted Tim, she smiled smally at him. "Faire les courses. Avoir des objections de les Gryffindors." she answered. "Come on, we need your muscle." she said.

((That means "Shopping. Mind off the Gryffindors."))

[rileybabe]

((mind if i join you ladies? and good sir?))


Andie strolled down the streets swinging her bag of purchases on her arms. She had just boughten some tap shoes and was now on her way to buy a dress. The shoes and dress were for her dancing. Her Irish step dancing, her father had sent her letter telling her that she needed to buy some new shoes and dresses and so that's what she was doing. Suddenly as she was walking she saw a group of girls and a guy up ahead. One of the girls was her friend Grace Marks. "Hey Grace!" she called as she ran up. She stopped short as she reached the group. "Hi, so I see we're all set for a shopping spree. I was just on my way to buy some dresses for dance, so mind if I join you? Oh, I'm Andie by the way. Andie Riley."


((i know Hogsmeade probably wouldn't sell muggle stuff like tap shoes and such what with it being a wizard village and all but eh.. what the heck! who cares?))

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace was so relieved she didn't get the slap and smiled merrily at the girl. "Grace Marks, at your service," she said, taking a low bow. She rose to see Tim coming towards them. "Hi Tim," she said, sheepishly, she always got shy around too many new people. "We're going shopping," Grace informed him. "And you are?" she asked the girl after she had shaken off the French as something she would never understand.

Then Grace heard her name. She spun around and saw Andie. "Hey Andie," she said, eyes still wide with surprise, "early start, don't you think?" She looked at everything that Andie was carrying and was astounded she could hold so much.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve nodded. "Yeah, we are. Need to get our minds clear, and Di here said shopping is the key. I also need a dress for a ball that my parents are having, another thing Di always helps me with. Without her, I'd be in crazed dresses and not looking appropreite for my parents." she laughed.

Taking Tim's arm, she led the group down to Hogsmeade where another girl joined them. "Sure. You can join!"

[Tim Haunting]

Tim laughed and looked utterly afraid. "Umm..." he said thinking of how he was going to get himself out of this. "I'd love to stay ladies... but I have some important things to take care off," he said looking at them all and backing away. Of all times he had to join a group of girls they were going shopping, he thought to himself.

[rileybabe]

Andie laughed. "Thanks. And Grace? I am not carrying that much, I have like three bags. Which have probably two pairs of tap shoes each. And I still need to buy at least four dresses! Trust me, this is not alot!"

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve saw Tim getting away. "No!" she walked over to him and said quietly, "We need you. You can keep us from straying to topics that don't need to be brought up. You're the strong one of us." she pouted playfully like a sister would. "Please. Just a couple shops. I hate shopping, too. Quidditch is more my thing. Maybe we can stop at the Quidditch Shop and Zonko's while we're here and get somethings we'll use more than once. Anyway, Aiden won't be able to come to the ball, so you'll need to bring me like normal. AKA, you need a new dress robe or my parents will flip."

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace looked at the Slytherin as she explained why they were there. She nodded, and added, "and I also need a dress so I butted in and am going with them." The Tim said he had something else to do. It was understandable that he wanted to get away so Grace didn't push it but she wanted to and did. Grace nodded and added, "ya, you're man enough to be able to take a bit of shopping."

Then she turned back to the two girls. "So where to first?" she asked, looking from the one to the other. The she turned to Andie, "no, it wasn't that," Grace said, "it's just ... tap shoes?" That threw her thought pattern totally out.

[rileybabe]

Andie nodded. "Yeah. For dance. Irish Step Dance to be particular. Been dancing since I was three, and my dad who actually is also my instructor sent me a letter telling me I needed to buy new shoes and new dresses. So... here I am!" she said with a shrug and a slight chuckle.

[Tim Haunting]

Tim hissed, "merde." He didn't want to go shopping with a bunch of girls. He was going to be driven out of his mind. The only thing he could see himself liking was that they were cute girls, except for his cousin [sorry Diana.. can't look at you like that].

When Maeve spoke of him taking her he sighed. "Wait... are you asking me to the ball," he looked at her with a curious smile. "I thought I was much too complicated," he joked with her.

Then looking at the girl who had introduced herself as Andie he introduced himself, "Tim Haunting." He watched her as she spoke. "Irish step dance?" he looked at her as his head tilted in confusion. What in the bloody hell was that, he thought to himself. It was obviously dance, but what kind.
