Girls Day Out!

[kristianmt]

Konnor woke up early this morning. She wanted to get to go Christmas shopping in Diagon Alley before too big of a crowed got there. She hopped out of bed, and skipped into her bathroom to get a nice shower. When she was done drying back off, she dried her long blonde hair with a towel. When her hair was also dry she went back to her room, and got dressed. She wore a white tank- top, a baby pink little sweater with silver detail, her holy jeans, silver flats, and her robe for warmth. It was a beautiful Sunday, and she had to get finished Christmas shopping. Konnor walked over to her mirror brushed her hair, and put it into one long braid that hung over her shoulder to the side. She smiled. She was quite pleased with her appearance.

Konnor walked over to her closet and grabbed her pink scarf, gloves, and little snow hat that had a white little fluff ball at the top. She put them on looked in the mirror again to make sure everything was as it should be. Pleased, she grabbed her purse, and headed for Diagon Alley. It was snowing and pretty chilly. She pulled her jacket tighter. Konnor arrived at Diagon Alley. She was excited and ready to shop. Sadly her mom made her take Kelley with her. Kelley is Konnor's twin sister. She goes to Hogwarts, but they don't speak of each other ... Ever!

"Hurry up if your coming with me!" Konnor shouted up the stairs to Kelley. She lived in a two story house. Konnor looked down at the dainty silver little watch hanging on her wrist. "We're not going to miss the crowed now..." Konnor mumbled to Kelley as she walked out the front door following her. When both Konnor and Kelley arrived at Diagon Alley, they split up so no one would see that they both had a sister, a twin sister non- the less. Konnor watched as the people crowded the shops looking for the perfect presents for family and friends. Konnor walked in the book store to look around, and get warm for that matter. Konnor observed the isles of books. Waiting for something to catch her eye.

((At one point you have made it so Konnor is at home, and then at another so she is at Hogwarts. I’m going to do it from Brianna’s home ^^))

The day for Brianna started perfectly- she woke early, before her parents and sister, and before all the hot water was wasted on them. She sprang straight away into the shower, loving the feeling of the hot water pouring over her shoulders and her tired body. After washing her long, dark hair she stepped from the shower and bundled her hair into her white towel, using another pale blue one to dry herself. As she did so, she listened hard to the sounds around the house. She heard an occasional snore from her parents’ bedroom, coming from her dad. Her Puffskein Alico twittering to the house cat reached her ears and she quickly called the pink fluff ball before a fight started. Immediately the creature hopped into the bathroom, wide eyes bigger than usual and a tiny scratch beside the right orb. Scowling and throwing curses at the cat, Brianna folded her arms over her pink pet, smothering her in kisses in between the curses. This was always happening with Alico- she couldn’t stop teasing the cat. Most likely, Brianna thought, amused, she teased him about how pink her fur was and about how bleak and dull his was. Smiling, she dabbed Alico’s small wound with a tissue and set her on the floor while she shooed away the cat. Once done, she smiled as the Puffskein hopped onto her big four-poster bed, and then looked into her wardrobe. She loved clothes- loved them, and her wardrobe was full of them. After pushing aside a few hangers she chose some skinny jeans, a pair of black boots, and a forest green top. Once dressed she sat at her desk, pondering over her jewellery. In the end she chose a pair of beautiful silver earrings, and six silver bangles to match. Then she brushed her lashes with some green mascara, wiped a light lip gloss over her lips and dabbed her cheeks with some rosy blush. As she stood up the bangles fell with a ‘click’ against her knuckles. Nodding at her reflection in the mirror she took her brown leather bag from a hanger and dropped her purse inside it then left her room, satisfied.

As she was the only one awake she snatched her fill of toast, then scribbled a quick note in blue ink for her mother.

Mum,
Gone shopping in Diagon. You won’t remember where it is so I’ll walk back later. I’ve taken Alico for your sake. Tell Dad I left his batteries on the counter, the person who wanted to see them was very thankful and says hi. Be back in a couple of hours,
Love,Bri xxx

She added a quick smiley-face at the end, though pressed the pen a little too hard. Ink splattered everywhere, dotting her forest top. She scowled again and looked down, then smiled. The blue made a pretty pattern on the top, and she rather liked the new look. Giggling a little she seized her bag again, and settled Alico on her shoulder.

She arrived at the borders of Diagon Alley a while later, and tried to keep herself from retorting to the security guards as they searched her. She hated the new rules for the Alley- pointless. If anyone was to hide something on themselves they would be pretty stupid, as everyone knew about the guards. Keeping herself from scowling as one laughed at Alico, she wandered into the Alley and looked around with awe. Every time she walked into the area now she was amazed. Smiling at a random person she kept her bag close to her, checking inside. She had quite a bit of money on her, and had decided to get her family, except Lana, magic presents. She knew they would love them and headed towards a book store for her father, knowing he would love a book- he was such a bookworm. Stepping inside, Brianna sighed with relief as the heat hit her. Walking forward, she noticed a book flying off a shelf, heading straight towards someone’s head. As quick as she could Brianna shot out a hand, bangles sparkling. She caught the book just an inch from the girl’s blonde head, and set it back onto the shelf as Alico hid behind her brown waves.

”That was a close one!” She said to the girl, then noticed something. “Hey- you look familiar. Konnor, right?” She asked the girl. Konnor was in Brianna’s year and although they had never actually spoken, she knew her name and house- Gryffindor.

Konnor smiled, and jumped a little as the girl darted out of what seemed like nowhere and caught the book that was aiming for her head. "Woah!" "That was close." Konnor turned around and smiled at the girl. "Hey, I think I know you also.. Ummm," Konnor thought, she recognized the face, but couldn't quite get the name. "Oh I know Brianna?" Konnor asked energetically. She knew the girl from classes, she was in her year. She didn't know exactly what house she was in though. "Ahh, who is this precious little creature?" Konnor said in a little baby voice. She saw this cute little pink fluffy animal in Brianna's shoulder. it was quite adorable.

Konnor was a sucker for cute animals. They melted her heart with their cute big eyes. Konnor smiled. "Oh, thank you for saving, my head.." Konnor giggled a bit. Konnor looked about the bookstore, it was filling up with people now. Probably last minute shoppers, as she was. Konnor smiled. She loved Christmas, it was her favorite holiday ever.

Brianna smiled at the girl. She seemed nice and Brianna felt they would get along. "Yep, Brianna's the name. And this is little Alico. Say Hi Ali! Good girl.." Brianna giggled happily as the little Puffskein blew one, fat raspberry at Konnor. Laughing out loud Brianna told Konnor the head-saving thing was fine, then watched as the room filled. She didn't want it to get too full- she hated busy. Everywhere she went it was busy- school; busy, home; busy, even her room seemed to be busy nowadays, as Brianna's sister Lana had bought a dog, and it much prefered Brianna's room to Lana's own. Grinning at the thought of the dog, Jasper, Brianna nodded to the door.

"You want to go and get a drink in the Broomsticks? It's a bit too busy in here...though we can come back later for the christmas presents if you want! I am, anyway." Brianna smiled and indicated to the filling room. As she did so, her bangles clacked loudly against each other and several people glanced over, glaring at her for the tiny distraction. "Dentists..." Brianna said loudly, glowering back at the people. She hated people like that- the noise had been barely a noise, just a small sound, and everyone blamed her for it. Brianna noticed with a start that as she had been scowling at the people a boy had walked up behind them. Stopping the scowl straight away, Brianna smiled lip-gloss lips at the boy before turning to Konnor with an embarassed giggle. Her dark skin was turning a little rosy as she blushed, still giggling. "Oopsie! Aww, he was cute too." Laughing now, Brianna watched as the boy walked out of the shop. Flicking her long, dark glossy hair from her equally dark eyes Brianna waved a careless hand to the door again.
