Notes: Well, I just want to say before you read this that me and my friends wrote it for the fun of it. It was not meant to be serious so don't feel bad if your favourite character has some odd things happen to them. My favourite character has many bad things happen to him (It's Harry by the way) and I laugh at it anyway so please enjoy. Nevertheless, I know I'm going to get many flames. Please try to see the funny side of things and enjoy!
Now, to the story!
Previously:
Hermione appeared beside Harry. "What are yo…" she stopped mid-word. "That would be such a fashion disaster!" Draco said gasping. Hermione nearly fell over. "Oh…my…God." She said. "Tell me about it…" Harry said rolling his eyes.
Chapter Six: Shopping: The Chapter Where James Gets Stuck in a Dryer and Draco is Faced with a Terrifying Decision
Sirius and James were out of the department store and were wondering around the rest of the mall. They saw a store called `Best Buy' and walked in. Their eyes widened as they looked at the big screen TVs at the top of the back wall in awe. They walked around for about ten minutes before either said anything. "HEY!" Sirius yelled. James turned around and saw a section that was just dryers. They walked down one aisle before Sirius got an idea. "Maybe we can get back." He said plainly. "Hey, good idea!" James said energetically.
"DON'T I GET A SAY IN THIS?!?!? Harry yelled at them. Yes, them. Hermione had gotten into it too. "too…" Draco had started. "No…no…" Hermione was in the middle of saying. "NO!" Draco and Hermione yelled together at Harry and went back to muttering to themselves. They stopped when they heard sirens outside the mall. They heard yelling inside the mall (A/N1: Be warned…this is NOT a plot!) and walked to the inside entrance to the store they were in. They glanced over the banister and saw that firefighters were running into `Best Buy'.
"Come on!" Hermione said forcefully. They ran to the escalator and went down. Hermione turned to see Draco still standing at the top. "What are you doing?" Hermione yelled up to him. "What is it?" Draco asked in a scared voice. "It's an escalator…not COME ON!" Draco folded his arms. "No. Muggles are dumb…this couldn't possibly be stable…and it's moving." Hermione rolled her eyes and motioned for Harry to come along. Harry shrugged and followed Hermione to `Best Buy'. They ran in the door and their eyes were immediately directed to a large crowd by the dryers. They made their way through the crowd and saw James' butt sticking out the end of a particularly small dryer.
Sirius was laughing hysterically. "…yes…we have a boy…about sixteen…he's uh…stuck in a dryer…over." Hermione heard in the background. She laughed as the firefighters pulled on James' legs to free him of his aluminum cell of doom. Harry was close to tears as James fell to the floor with a `thud' and an `ow'. He got up and rubbed his head. Sirius and James took off around the back and Harry and Hermione wade their way out of the separating crowd. They found them in the washer section. "If you tell anybody…you're grounded." James said sternly after a pause. "You can't ground me! I'm the same age as you!" Harry cried. "Well…well, I… You better run!" James said in a dark tone.
I could so take you." Harry said with a snort and crossed his arms. "Yeah, well, I…" James looked like he was thinking hard. Harry made a face of mock terror. Hermione rolled her eyes and left the store unnoticed. Sirius had made himself comfortable on top of a washer and was watching with interest. Harry ran around the corner. "Come and get me old man!" He yelled standing at the end of an aisle. "WE'RE THE SAME AGE!" James yelled running down the aisle after him. "Oh, so now you agree with me." Harry said dashing around the next corner…and running into the manager.
Hermione had gone back up the escalator to find Draco still staring at it with fright. "Good Lord, it's an escalator!" Hermione said throwing her hands in the air. "This kid, he told me that if you touch the yellow line, that it will eat your shoes!" Draco said his eyes wide. Hermione rolled her eyes. She decided to just go against specifically what he said instead of stating the many reasons why that was physically impossible. "So? They're just shoes!" Hermione said with annoyance. "But these are my favorite shoes! I bought them two weeks ago! And they were on sale!" Draco said with a pout. Okay, not working. "That's not even POSSIBLE!" Hermione yelled at him. "Yeah, that kid said it happened to his cousin once." Draco said in horror.
"He was never the same. Tragic." Draco said shaking his head in pity. "Okay, what do you want? What do you want if you go down the escalator?" Hermione asked in defeat. Bribery! How pathetic! Draco had an evil grin on his face. "I want…to drive." Hermione rolled her eyes again. "Fine." She said in defeat. She watched as Draco slowly stepped on the escalator with one foot, leaving the other foot on the tile. It pulled his foot farther and farther away until he almost fell but grabbed onto the rail for dear life. He straightened up a bit by the middle and looked simple giddy by the end. Before his feet could touch the yellow line he jumped up a stair and another and another until he was at the top again.
Hermione walked back into the store and looked around. Harry, Sirius, and James walked solemnly to where she was. "What happened?" Hermione asked her hands on her hips. "Well, um…we…uh…" Harry stuttered. "We got kicked out of Best Buy." James said his right eye twitching. "Well, we got kicked out for running." Harry said looking down at the floor. "Actually, you got kicked out for running." Sirius said with a laugh. "Well, you got kicked out for sitting on a washer!" James said annoyed. "Yeah! Well…so!" Sirius said defensively. Hermione rolled her eyes.
Changing the subject Harry looked up. "Draco is down the escalators…He won't touch the yellow line at the bottom and he keeps jumping back up the stairs every time he gets close." Harry said with a snicker. "Well, at least he's not scared of them anymore." Hermione said plainly looking through more clothes. Sirius and James raised their eyebrows and walked away. "Well, at least I don't have to try on all these clothes…" Harry trailed off motioning to a cart full of shirts and pants…among other things. "That's what you think." She said pushing him in the direction of the dressing rooms. "Oh, no…you can't make me!" Harry said fearfully yet forcefully.
"How did she make me?!?!?" Harry asked putting his head in his hands. Hermione was at the counter paying for almost everything he'd tried on, well, except the pink shirt, he refused, even though Hermione insisted that it was `salmon' and that it looked `cute' on him. He didn't even want to think about all the things her friend, who she'd introduced as Megan, said. Thankfully, Lily had gone out to the car. Hermione walked over to where Harry was standing carrying three large bags of clothes. Harry took two out of sheer politeness because he was `mad' at her now… They walked out of the mall, Harry with a slight frown. They saw Ron still sitting in the car and Sirius and James were chasing each other around the parking lot. "GIVE IT BACK!!!" Sirius yelled as James whipped around a van. Lily was sitting at the side of the car rubbing her temples. "They…won't…stop…" She said with a growl.
James and Sirius saw Hermione glaring at them and gingerly walked back to the car. "Now, that did you take?" Hermione asked James in a motherly tone. (A/N1: Hmm…imagine that…) "His chew toy…" James said solemnly. "YEAH! Give it back!" Sirius whined. Hermione had a confused look on her face as James handed Sirius a rubber steak. When Sirius grabbed it out of his hand it made a squeaking noise. Hermione sighed and got in the car. "So, Ron, are you really still stuck?" She asked laughing. "Yes." Ron said with a pout. Harry had already put the bags in the trunk and after much rearranging, they actually fit. He got in the back seat and say between James and Ron. Lily got into the passenger side seat and Hermione turned on the engine. "Wait…where's Draco?" Ron asked. Hermione turned the car back off and ran inside leaving everyone in a fit of giggles.
Hermione ran inside waving a quick hi/bye to Megan. She ran through the store and found Draco outside the entrance riding down the escalator. "DRACO BERNICE (A/N2: lol) MALFOY!" Hermione screamed as a few people gave her weird looks and then went back to their lives. Draco was back at the top in a matter of milliseconds. "What…did…you…say?" Draco asked between gritted teeth. "Bernice." Hermione said with an evil grin. "I don't know what…" Draco started before Hermione put her hand up. "Come off it, your mum told me yesterday." Hermione said grinning evilly. "Her." Draco said darkly his eyes shrinking to slits.
Hermione ran back out to the car with Draco behind her. She hopped in the front. "HEY!!! You said I could drive!" Draco said folding his arms. "I lied." Hermione said turning the engine on once again. Draco begrudgingly got in back and found himself squished into the side of the car.
Sneak Peak:
James and Sirius burst through the door of the sitting room which immediately shut up all three girls. "You guys want to play a game?" James asked mysteriously. "Um, it all depends…" Hermione said suspiciously. "Well, it's a muggle game… and it involves a bottle… You have to agree now or be bored the rest of the night…"
A/N1: Andrea is at the football game tonight so she's not going to have an authors note. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter and I hope to have the next one up either Friday or Saturday. I have gotten some flames but that's alright. *blushes and giggles* Flamers are morons so you know...if you want to be a moron don't let me stop you ;)
