So far the morning was going well for Celina. She had just finished her breakfast at the Great Hall and was now back in the dorm. The early morning sun was shining brightly outside. "It is indeed a fine day for some good old shopping," thought Celina as she got ready. She and Drusilia had made plans to spend the day at Hogsmeade. She was to meet her at the front gates at exactly 9 am and from there they planned to catch a coach. Looking up at the grandfather clock by the door, Celina saw it was only 8:50 am. Brushing her silky black hair, she hummed a little tune to herself. "It will be fun. I've never really hung out with Drusilia before," thought Celina as she looked at herself in the mirror. There was also another reason for her wanting to go shopping. Drusilia's birthday was round the corner and Celina planned to buy her a present. Of course, Drusilia was unaware of this. It would be a surprise. "Somewhere in between when she's busy shopping I'll sneak out, buy her present and get back before she knows it," thought Celina, her green eyes shining. Picking up her small black handbag, she walked out of the dorm and down the stairs. Walking to the gates, she sat on a dry rock and waited for Drusilia to arrive.

Drusilia awoke with a start and bulted up into a sitting position disturbing her cat, Chi, who had been asleep on her pillow "Oooh gomen Chi-chan I need to pay a little more attention." Drusilia apologized to the affronted looking cat. Drusilia stopped all of a sudden then looked around really quickly made a small sqweaking noise and jumped up, or tride to, pulling one of her dark blue blankets with her as she fell forwards and barly managing to cetch herself but still managing to send her cat flying off the other side of the bed to hide under the bed next to hers. Muttering about bad luck and jinx' Drusilia spent a couple minutes trying to become untangled from her bed sheets and the drapes around her bed.
About 5 minutes later, which gave her about 5 minutes to get dressed and downstairs to the gate, no time to eat unless she really got going. Drusilia was rumaging through her clothes looking for something to wear, wasn't having that much luck either. Somehow managing to get on a pair of black pants she pulls a long bright blue turtle neck down over her still messed up hair. Ran a come quickly through her long bangs and short hair stepped into a pair of black combat bording dress shoes and didn't bother to tie them as she slipped over half a dozen silver bracelets on each wrist and trying to put a pair of earings on while running down a the stairs.
Stumbling only slightly 3 minutes later Drusilia made her way through the Great Hall a warm roll in mouth and one in her hand she ran across the grounds of Hogwarts to the front gates somehow managing to not hit someone, or not hard enough for her to notice, even thow some of the people she ran into/slightly were bigger then her. Only one minute late by some miracle Drusilia made it to the front gate only to run/trip/stumble (remember her shoes are still untied) smack into Celina, "oooooh." Drusilia winced and looked at Celina, "I'm so sorry, gomen nasai big time!" Drusilia's cheeks turned a deep crimson as she hurriedly tied her shoes/boats and jumped to her feet. "Are you ok? I'm really sorry about that! I just get a little blind sided and don't pay attention to my seroundings if I'm really in a hurry and am late and freaking out and after I just woke up and and..." Drusilia stopped her rambling and took in big gulps of air and apalogized, "Sorry like I said I just woke up."
((note: Drusilia's half japanese thats why she was saying gomen and gomen nasai along with the end of name suffexise or however thats spelled. gomen=sorry, gomen nasai=very sorry, name-chan=added to the end of friends' names normally))

Savannah had left the common room bright and early in the morning. A quick breakfast in the Great Hall was followed by a journey out to a secluded area near the lake where Savannah often came to be alone. Today she had with her a roll of parchment with which she meant to continue to write. What it was that she wrote, was a mystery to nearly everyone at the school for Savannah was not one to share her work. She also was one to relish in being alone, with no one to annoy her she would spend countless hours writing. As she sat down on the soft grass in the early morning hours she began to write.
For nearly an hour she wrote until she had run out of ink. Checking her bag she found no other ink bottle. With a sigh she rolled up her parchment and stuffed it into her bag. There was little else to do on a good day like this than to head to Hogsmeade and buy a stock of ink, the sooner the better as well.
As she approached the gates from Hogwarts to the village she spied two other Ravenclaws at the gate. Celina who was on the Quidditch team, and some other girl Savannah knew only by name, Drusella or something close to that she wasn't too sure. "What are you doing here?" Savannah asked as she walked up to the pair and eyed the both.

As Celina sat there waiting for Drusilia, she went off into a day-dream. Suddenly, she was abruptly forced back to reality when someone smacked right into her. Gasping she turned around to see who the culprit was, expecting a clumsy Hufflepuff only to find Drusilia standing there. "Well hello there," said Celina with a grin, waving her hand off as Drusilia apologised. Smiling as the girl tied her shoelaces, Celina said, "I learnt Japanese back in primary school and I still do remember a little bit of the basics. You're half Japanese, aren't you?"
As Drusilia got up and they prepared to go, Celina heard someone call her name from behind. Turning around she saw it was Savannah. "Hey Savannah," greeted Celina. "We were about to go to Hogsmeade. Where are you off to?" she asked.

Savannah rolled her eyes and made a face at Celina when she asked if she was off to Hogsmeade. "No Celina..."she said as she drew out her name a bit, "I just love coming here to these gates and looking a them. They are just oooooh so nice" she said in her typical sarcastic tone.
"I need to go to the stationary shop, I need ink" she answered as she looked over the other girl from head to toe. "What are you going for?" She asked as she stuck her hand into her pocket and felt around for her coins. She hadn't planned on coming to Hogsmeade and didn't really know how much money she even had on her person.

Having had all of her attention focused on Celina, Drusilia jumped the slightist bit and spun around to look at the other girl risisting the erge to hold a hand to hold a hand to her heart she looked at the girl that joined them and gave a hesitant smile while she felt her heart slow down.
Drusilia looked momentarily dumbstruck at the girls sarcastic tone but got her expression under control quickly replacing it with one of the warm smiles that normally adorned her face "hello! We're just going into town to relax and hang out and we're going to go to the Quidditch store while we"re there isn"t that right?" she looked over to Celina momentarily then went on "right but would you want to join us?" Drusilia gave the other girl another smile.
((sorry I couldn't get on last night))

Savannah took out what few coins she had in her pocket and looked at it sadly, there was hardly enough to even get a couple bottles of ink, let alone go shopping for anything. The one girl then smiled and practically screamed hello at her. Shifting her weight, Savannah looked from Celina to the other girl as she explained their proposed itinerary. Though she had not enough money to get anything at Quality Quidditch Supplies she could sure look and make a wish list. “Sure” Savannah said plainly as she put her coins back into her pocket. “I’ve got nothing else to do today” she said while waiting for the other two to get up and get a move on. Then looking at the 2nd girl Savannah spoke “You’re is Drusella right?”

"This girl has got a serious attitude problem," thought Celina to herself, a little taken aback. Shrugging she decided against snapping back. "That's right," she said with a smile as Drusilia explained their plans to Savannah. "I'm glad you're coming along with us. It should be fun," said Celina as Savannah decided to go with them. As soon as the words were spoken, she heard a slight sound behind them. Turning around, she saw it was a coach. "Our good luck," she thought. Walking up to it, she stopped it and motioned to the other two to get in.
Soon they were at Hogsmeade. The early morning sun's warmth enveloped her as she got down from the coach to the vibrant little town of magicfolk. Hogsmeade wasn't too crowded as it was still quite early. Turning around to face the other two, Celina asked," So where shall we go to first?"

Drusilia bounded into the couch behind Celina and plopped down on the far side and looked outside, she could never get enough of this place!
"It's so great here..." Drusilia smiled a somewhat dreamy smile for a moment before it changed back to her normally cheery one as she hopped out of the couch in town. "Ummm I don't know where we should go first, if we go to any place with sweets or junk food it might take some prying to get me out and if we go to the quidditch store the same thing will most likely happen mostlikely," Drusilia gave a fake dramatic sigh and held a hand to her heart, "ah my two loves sweets and quidditch how I love them sooo....err I mean three loves junk foods the third..." Drusilia grinned and added, "sooo where is it you had to go....um um I know this I should know this anyway...." Drusilia rubbed her chin thoughtfull for a moment. "um.....err.....I've heard it before...." chewing her lip while pulling on the star earing in her right ear she all the sudden exclaimed, "Susan! err NO THAT'S NOT it..." Drusilia blushed crimson and turned towards the girl that she had asked to join them and didn't even know her name, "umm hehe whats your name?" Drusilia gave an imbarressed grin.

Savannah waited for the others to get in the carriage then she herself climbed in and shut the door. In short time they were at the village of Hogsmeade. The others began to discuss what their first shops would be. Savannah climbed out of the carriage and said nothing, just listening to the others discuss things. Sweets and Quidditch she heard hem talking about. “You pick wherever you want to go” Savannah said as she spun around and looked down the street to her intended destination. “I have to go to Miss Mary’s Stationary first. If I have any money left I’ll go to those other shops with you both.” Savannah took a few steps down the street then turned back to the others. “You can come with me or not, I don’t care. If you don’t come, I’ll just find you two in a little while.”

Watching Savannah walk off, Celina turned to Drusilia and said, "Well let's head for the Quidditch store then." As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she heard Savannah call out to them. Turning around to face the girl, Celina nodded. "Oh we'll come along. I've got to buy some stationery as well." She started walking towards Savannah. "Have you seen the new multi-coloured magic quills they've got?" asked Celina excitedly as she entered the store.
Inside, she was greeted by the sound of laughter. The place was quite empty except for two boys at one corner. Apparently they found something quite amusing for they simply could not stop laughing. "I haven't much to buy so I'll be at the front of the store in about five minutes. Come there when you finish," said Celina heading towards the back of the store, passing the two boys who were crouched in a corner, looking at a weird round object Celina could not identify. "I have to check out the magic quills," thought Celina as she reached the back of the store.

"Right more quills would be good," Drusilia commented as she fallowed Celina and Savannah into the store. She seemed to think for a moment and commented "some more ink to probably seeing as my kitty tipped my last bottle over so I barely have any left, and more paper seeing as she tipped the ink onto most of my paper. Snape seemed annouyed when I gave him a paper speckled with little drops of ink." Drusilia shrugged lightly with an oh well expression on her face and went over to a shelf full of different kinds of quills picked out a few and then she walked over to a area filled with different inks.
Smiling when she spotted a bottle with what looked like a bright blue ink in it she picked it up and looked for a couple bottles of different hews of blue then decided to also get a few black, for Snape's work. She finally got around to picking out paper finding some nice paper for letters to her father and some plain paper for school work and even more just to duddle on and have just incase a nice little kitty cat decides to play rolly polly on her desk.
Moving happily to the front of the store she paid for her stuff and her attention was caught by what the two boys were laughing at, "huh?" Seeing as she was naturally cerouse Drusilia walked quitly/sneaking over to the boys and getting really close said happily "What yea doing?"

Savannah smiled, but kept it to herself as the others decided to go with her to the stationary store. She didn't want to go around Hogsmeade alone, but of course would never say so.
Upon entering the shop, Savannah made a bee line straight for the ink bottles. colored inks, scented inks, multi colored inks and invisible inks all looked interesting. However Savannah was on a tight budget and as writing was her hobby, these fancy inks were just not a good match for her. Instead Savannah grabbed up half a dozen bottles of the standard ink and headed to the register. After paying for them she tucked the bottles into her bag and then found Celina. "So where are we going now?" she asked as she picked up a large quill with a flamingo feather on it and inspected it. She was always amazed at how some people would go so crazy for fancy items like this.
As she looked at the quill she heard Drusilia talking, looking around the shop she found her with a few boys. Curious, Savannah watched them.

After going through all the multi-coloured magic quills the store had, Celina finally settled for one purple-blue quill. "Beautiful," she comented to herself as she walked to the front to pay for it. As soon as she had paid, Savannah walked up to her. "Let's go to Zora's Axxess," said Celina, continuing, "They've got the best accesories in town."

In a cheerfull voice Drusilia commented, "Great I didn't know that but I guess I do now, I've never been there actually!" Drusilia spelled her bag of inks and new quills and paper smaller and stuck it in her pocket. Then turned towards Savannah and asked, "have you ever been there?"

Savannah shrugged at the mention of the new store. "I've never heard of it, I guess we can go if you want to." Savannah then put back the quill she had been looking at and stuffed her ink bottles into her pockets before setting the little bag back onto the counter. "So are we going or not?" she asked as she eyed the door as well as the large clock on the wall. Savannah had nothing really to do today other than write and draw in her journals, of course she always wanted to let on that she had much to do.
