Location: Edna's, Diagon Alley
Status: Public
Summary: Lavender goes shopping for a little underwear. Will little be the operative word?
Completion: Incomplete
Another one of those Sunday afternoons where there seemed to be nothing to do. She'd spent the morning working in the office at Bluebell Cottage, then had lunch with her dad, Cassandra and her daughter. That was... getting less awkward. Cassandra was nice enough to talk to and her little girl was sweet; she was starting Hogwarts in September and had lots of questions. The whole thing was weird, though, like a family situation and that pricked at her. Did she want this to be her family? Not really. But the way her dad looked at Cassandra...
James had promised to take her out for dinner tonight. Promised was a bit of an odd word. He'd asked, she'd said yes and now she was feeling terribly nervous about it. Like she'd said to Parvati the other week, she just wasn't used to doing this kind of thing with someone completely new. She'd known both Ron and Seamus since they were all eleven, so this was very different. While she wasn't lacking in experience in some areas, in others she felt rather at a loss.
She didn't much fancy working in the greenhouses this afternoon, knowing she'd just get distracted by thoughts of tonight. (Could she call it a date? She supposed that was the right word for it.) Instead, she headed to Diagon Alley, ostensibly to do a little window-shopping. After buying some new stationery after her supplies had run low, Lavender found that her wandering led her to another window and studying one of the mannequins on display.
Lavender was rather tempted. She told herself that she wasn't going to buy new knickers just because she had a date. No. But she hadn't bought any new underwear for ages because she hadn't really cared much since she'd been single and, of course, she'd had all these fluctuations to her weight the last few months. So really she needed some new things.
Oh, look. She'd pushed open the door.
It wouldn't hurt to take a look around.
