"If you're going through hell, you might as well keep going," said Rachel. "But, I dunno. She might as well just back out of hell."

"Can't she let someone else take over?" Libby asked. "For awhile? And she can take a vacation or something..."

Serenity was in Fred and George's shop, going on an insane shopping spree in the chaos of the bright store. She was holding a small basket filled with items, a quarter of which was devoted to the flashy pink WonderWitch items. Her hair was in braids and she was wearing jeans and a glitterytanktop, but who really cares about that when the little barfing treats are on sale? Serenity quickly grabbed tons.

"I don't know! I guess she's just being an idiot," Kelsi said loudly, glaring at Ally.

Ally snapped right back at her, since ignoring it wasn't much of an option. "Shut up, or else you're going back home! I don't give about your Diagon Alley trip with your school list, I'm supposed to be working, just, if you're going to waste your time bothering me, just get going with your friends!"

Kelsi's lips grew into a large smile. "Oh, sure, bye, Ally!" Then, immediately, she dragged Libby and Rachel off before Ally could change her mind.

"Well, I bought all my supplies already. We were here a five hours earlier," she said in annoyance. "You two should a told me when you guys were coming-oh well, I guess that's all done. Either way," she lowered her voice. "Have you SEEN what a cutie Seamus Finnigan is now!? He must have hit puberty or something over the summer!"

Serenity, inside the shop, let out a loud squeal. "OHMYGOD THESE ARE ON SAAAALE!" She quickly grabbed the whole display and stuffed it in her box. Then, she went and got another basket, considering the first was about to burst open.
Shopping ensues.

And, when she got to the checkout counter, the young witch looked at her product skeptically. "You seriously are going to buy that much?" She asked.
"If I've got the money, are you going to argue, lady?" Serenity shot back.
"Nope." She rolled her eyes back, paid the money, and skipped out onto the street.


And promptly crashed into Rachel.

"He changed? Eh, his face always looked pinched up... And don't let Nicolas hear you, you."

"Oh, it's not like Nick's here or anything-AH, CRAP!" And Rachel stumbled backwards and fell down onto the pavement after Serenity crashed into her, and promptly some glass in her bags began to break. "Crap! I have to buy more ink now!" said Rachel, immediately looking to her bags to see the damage.

Serenity looked down at her bags, and a pink liquid was spilling all over her bag. "YOU IDIOT, YOU JUST BROKE MY LOVE POTION!" She looked up to glare at the person- and it was Rachel. She dropped both bags and hugged her. "RACH!"

"Hey Serenity!" Rachel hugged her as well. When she was released from it, she promptly asked. "Have you seen Ernie this year!? He's so cute now!"

Kelsi facepalmed. But immediately after, she hugged both friends. Freezing in mid-hug with Serenity, she stepped back. "LOVE POTION?!"

Rachel smirked slightly. "I don't need a Love Potion to get the boys wrapped around MY finger..."

"I would need a love potion- oh! My acne is almost completely gone!" She pushed her nearly outgrown bangs out of her eyes, showing the slightly faded acne. "I'm so ecstatic!"

"Great! Now we can get them cut..." Rachel made small snipping movements with her fingers, and smiled slightly.

"M-My hair? No, I'm trying to outgrow my bangs, so that I don't have to worry about this hair falling into my eyes. So far, I can tuck most of it behind my ears, and use those barrettes that Robin used to use in first and second year."

"Oh common-PLEASE!? You know I give good haircuts..."

"But I don't want bangs. And I just had one a month ago."

"PLEASE!?" begged Rachel. "I can just give you a trim, and a few layers," she began to stroke her hair.

"No, Rachel, I'm serious, I'm fine with it. I actually want to grow it out."

"Your no fun..." she whispered quietly.

"I'm no fun?! No fun?! Aww, Rachel! Fine, you want fun, let's go cut it right now." Kelsi puffed out angrily, suddenly putting all her attention in proving that she's fun.

"Really!" Rachel immediately perked up. Her plan had worked! "Alright, lets do it tomorrow... I have to find all my supplies first..."

"Yes. Okay, fine. Now, let's go check out the Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes, c'mon, you all!" Of course, she was talking to Serenity, Rachel, and Libby. Where were the others? And where was Robin?

"I need to buy more ink though,"

"I- Oh- Yeah, so do I. And more parchment."
