The other links are at the bottom!!!! I've posted the links for you!! I know I know, being lazy instead of just describing it. But I did describe to an extent(;
I woke up pulled tight to Harry. It reminded me of the time in the common room, the one where Nat tried to help me out but she couldn't, and the thought brought a smile to my face. I lay there, curling closer to Harry. Everyone else was still asleep, but I could see the sun shining through the fabric of the tent.
Sighing, I started to drift back off to sleep, but Molly came in seconds later. "Everyone up! We're leaving in two hours!" She said, then bustled out, already ready.
"Harry!" I giggled, squirming around. "I want shower first! Let go silly!" I laughed, pushing on his arm. He groaned, but didn't let go. He just stood up, pulling me with him. We walked towards the house, a set of feet following behind us.
"Oi! What do you think your doing?" Ron yelled, red in the face. Does he think we're going together or something? Perv! Harry rolled his eyes, shoving his glasses up on his face.
"Making sure I don't fall on my face. I'm not quite sure I'm awake yet!" Harry smirked, turning back to the house. "Calm down Ron! Do you really think I even thought about that?" Harry rolled his eyes, pushing the door open. Molly grabbed him, pushing him into a chair.
"Be down after breakfast!" I called, running towards the stairs. She nodded, placing food in front of Harry and Ron. The twins walked in a moment later.
"To answer your question," they chorused. "You were definitely thinking about it!" One of em, probably George started.
"But you didn't consider!" And Fred finished. I heard a bunch of laughter as I pushed the door open to Ginny's room. I grabbed my bag and ran to the bathroom. As soon as I was finished with my shower, I stepped out, dressing quickly. My black shorts with the hole, and my white top with the lips that says 'kiss me'. I slipped on my converse, my ring, and the locket. I brushed my teeth and did my make up lightly. Just some eyeliner and lip gloss, nothing major. Then I brushed my hair, towel drying it and leaving it straight. Smiling at my appearance I threw the door open and walked out, smacking into someone as I did so.
Harry had just come out of Ron's room, fully dressed, tooth brush in his mouth. He smiled at me, held up a finger, and walked into the bathroom. I stood up, giggling a bit and brushed myself off. He came back out a couple minutes later, smiling at me. He looked me up and down and than smirked.
He walked towards me, putting a hand on either side of my head. I backed up against the wall, smiling at him and batting my eyes a few times. It always seemed stupid to think about, but it was actually kind of fun to do. He pressed his lips to mine, smiling into the kiss. I smiled too, trying not to giggle like a little kid. He's just so sweet sometimes!
I would have let him keep kissing me, except for the fact that Arthur hopped up the stairs, stopping in front of us. He looked awkward, like he wasn't sure what to do. I smiled sheepishly, Harry smirked a bit, but tried not to show it. We all just nodded at each other and walked away, Harry and I skipping down stairs, Arthur going towards his room.

"Awkward!" I sang, laughing as we skipped into the living room. Harry laughed, nodding behind me. I turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck. "What's the occasion?" I giggled, smiling up at him. He smirked looking down at me again.
"Your shirt!" He laughed, kissing me again, but it wasn't a long kiss. It was one of the ones that are short, but always really sweet. I smiled again, taking his hand in mine. "We should be leaving soon," he said, pulling me down onto the couch. He pulled me onto his lap, and I stayed there, but I was kind of tense, if Molly walks in we are in so much trouble.
"So, did you see the special part about dresses and dress robes on the list?" I asked. I still wanna know what that's about. Maybe I'll use my wedding dress? Nah. The guys have already seen that. I'll pick one up in Diagon Alley.
"Yeah. I saw it. Hey, I don't really know about that stuff, Hermione picked it out before. Wanna help?" He asked, smiling a bit. He wrapped an arm around my waist, but I'm not sure he knows he did it. I started to relax, cus I'm definitely comfortable here. I smiled back, kissing his cheek.
"Sure thing! I'll get it while we're dress shopping. Do you know what size?" He told me, and I wrote it down, sticking it in my pocket so I'll remember. "So we need to get our books, we're both good on robes, right?" He nodded in response. "So just books, a refill on potions supplies, dress robes, and I need new parchment and a few extra quills. That's it, right?"
"I think so. I wonder what's taking so long?" He looked over my shoulder, towards the kitchen.
"Come on you lot! Time to go!" Mrs. Weasley called, walking into the room. I hopped off Harry, sitting beside him.
"Perfect timing!" He whispered, smiling down at me. Definitely a double meaning to those words. He laughed a bit, standing up, bringing me with him. "We'll go first!" Harry volunteered, walking over to the fireplace.
"Wanna try?" I offered the pot to him. He stared at it for a minute, debating. He nodded, taking a handful of the powder. "Jut relax! You can do it!"
"Diagon Alley!" He dropped the powder, making us spin again. "Did I do it?" He asked, turning his head sideways. I nodded, not wanting to open my mouth to the dust and ash. I pulled him out at the right stop, landing neatly in Flourish and Blotts. Mrs. Weasley came next, smiling at Harry.
"Good job Harry! Now, we'll go in pairs. You two go ahead, here's the list. Be careful and meet back here in a few hours!" She pulled the list out of her purse, handing it to me. I nodded, pulling Harry towards the section where they had our books.
Grabbing them quickly, we went next door, getting our quills and parchment. We went to get our potions supplies and were done, other than the robes of course. "Well, that was easy!" I shrugged, twirling my wand between my fingers. After the World Cup thing, I've been carrying it everywhere and I've aways got it ready.
"There's Ron. He and Mione are headed for the dress shop. Want to split? We can meet at the ice cream shop in an hour!" Harry suggested, looking at Ron. I nodded, smiling at him. He needs guy time. "Oi! Ron!" He yelled, waving them over. Mione stopped and looked at me in relief, walking our direction.

"There you are! I thought you were going to have to go alone! Nat and Ginny are waiting for me inside!" Mione smiled, pulling me away from Harry.
"Alone?" He scoffed, rolling his eyes. "I'm right here!"
"Don't worry mate. I've been banished too!" Ron rolled his eyes as well, patting Harry's shoulder. Dramatic twit.
"I'm not banishing him! But I don't want him to see the dress! For whatever it's for?" I said, getting confused again. I shook my head, looking back at Ron and Harry. "Anyway, it'll take away from the effect if he sees it!" I smiled, pushing up on my toes to kiss Harry's cheek. "See you later!" I waved, skipping towards the shop. Mione was right, Nat and Ginny were waiting.
"Oh there you are!" Ginny smiled, waving us over. "Lookie!" She pulled out a dress, holding up against her. It was a light blue, flaring out at the waist. I nodded, smiling at her.
"You should try it on Gin!" I smiled, pushing her towards the changing rooms. I turned to the racks, looking at other things. One popped out, catching my eye immediately. It was a dark pink, sort of a hot pink, but darker. Almost red. It had thin straps and looked like it would be kind of tight up top. The sides were kind of revealing, but if wouldn't show anything that shouldn't have been showed. It was more mature, but totally gorgeous. I fell in love with the dress immediately.

"I'm trying this on!" I squealed, running into a dressing room. I slipped the dress on and turned to the mirror. My eyes nearly popped out of my head! It was gorgeous! I love it! I walked out of the dressing room, hopping up and down. Ginny was out there in her blue dress and she looked beautiful. Mione had found another pink dress, but this one had ruffles, was floor length, and was overall very pretty. Once again, Nat had gone for a more daring look, a short black dress, with a low back and silver up top. She looked gorgeous too!
"Oh my god!" Nat's jaw dropped. I giggled, spinning around in a circle. The sales lady stared at us, a huge smile on her face.
"Honey, if you don't buy that dress I'm taking it off the rack! It looks gorgeous!" She smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder. "All of you girls look fantastic. You'll have every guy turning your way!" She winked, going back to the counter.
"I sort of want Maxie's opinion!" I blushed, looking down. They all nodded, saying they'd like it too. I used my wand to send her a patronus, asking for her to come for like thirty seconds. She apparated here a few minutes later.
"Hm. I thought this is where she said?" She muttered, looking around. Does she really not recognize us?
"Mum!" I called, waving her over. She spun around and her jaw dropped.
"Um. Wow."
"We weren't sure and wanted your opinion," I blushed, looking down. It's so nice to have a mum who knows about fashion and style enough to help us! She nodded wordlessly, smiling at each of us.
"Those are definitely the dresses girls! Your going to look beautiful. Gracie, can I talk to you?" I nodded, motioning for her to come to my changing room. She followed me in, and the minute I shut the door, she wrapped me in a hug, crying a bit. Shocked, I hugged her back, trying to comfort her. "Thank you Gracie! It means a lot that you called me here for my opinion!" She smiled pulling back and taking my hand. She gave it a squeeze, stepping away. "Now, I want you to get that dress! And go to that ball or dance or whatever it's for, and show off. You've got it, now flaunt it! This is the only time you'll ever hear me say that!" She laughed, winking at me. I nodded, smiling.
"Thanks Mum! Now go have fun! I'll see you later!" She waved, apparating out. I took off the dress, changing back into my regular clothes. Now I feel so plain jane! When I walked out, the girls had already changed and were getting the boys dress robes. Harry and I need to match, but I have a feeling he's not going to wear pink. No matter how close it is to red. So lets just go with a black bow tie. I grabbed his robes, making sure I picked something he would like.
"Thank you!" Mione stepped away from the cashier we'd talked to earlier, going to join the others. I put the suit and dress on the counter, smiling widely. I paid quickly, then asked her to bag them so Harry couldn't see my dress.
"I get it. Don't want the fella to see?" She winked, smiling at me as she bagged it quickly. I nodded, giggling furiously. She stared at me a minute closer, her eyes widening. "Your Gracie Black! Harry Potter's girlfriend!" I nodded again, blushing this time. "Honey, you just wait till he sees you! Definitely going to be keeping a close eye on you. You have fun!" She smiled, waving goodbye.
"Thank you!" I waved, stepping outside to meet the girls. "Time to meet the guys at the ice cream shop! No one answered, we were all to excited about our dresses. We skipped to the shop, spotting the boys outside. I walked over to Harry, checked the bags, then handed him his.
"Thanks love!" He kissed my cheek and handed me a bowl of my favorite ice cream.
"Thank you!" I smiled. After ice cream, we went back to Mrs. Weasley all our bags in hand.
"Everyone got everything? Yes? Good! Harry, Gracie, Natalyn dear, do you all want to come to the burrow for dinner or go ahead home?"
"If you don't mind, we'd like to go home, get our things back. Only a few days left!" Nat squealed, looking excited. Mrs. Weasley nodded enthusiastically. I hugged Ginny and Mione, waved to the boys, and gave another hug to Mrs. Weasley.
"Thanks Mum!"
"Oh your welcome dear! Now off you go!" We all flooed together, landing in the living room. Maxie and Dad were waiting.
"We got bored with out you guys," Dad shrugged, wrapping us into a big hug, Maxie got us from behind, squishing us in the middle. I laughed, putting my school bags on the couch. Nat and I both kept our dress bags in hand, clinging to them tightly. Maxie noticed this and squealed.
"Did you get them?"
"Duh!" Nat jumped up and down excitedly, I shifted from foot to foot eagerly, wanting to go upstairs and put it away before something happens to it.
"Yay! Wait till you see them Sirius!"
That night, after dinner, Maxie pulled Nat and I aside, pulling us into her room. We put on put dresses and showed Dad. He looked like he was going to cry a bit, but nodded, telling us we looked beautiful. "Your growing up to fast! Stop it!" He groaned, walking out. "You picked out Harry's suit?" I nodded, confused. "Better go check it out!" He sighed, walking out of the room.
"How rude!"
Maxie and Nat laughed. "Okay, time for bed! Hogwarts starts in two days and then it's dance time!" Maxie sighed, staring at us in the dresses. "Do me a favor?"
"Sure. What is it Mum?" I asked, slipping my dress off and my normal clothes on again.
"Takes lots of pictures?"
"Definitely!" Nat smiled, walking over and hugging her. I did too, smiling at my Mum.
"Bed time!" She chirped, ushering us out of the room. I folded my dress neatly, putting it with my school things in my trunk. I got into bed with a sigh, smiling to myself.
One things for sure, I can't wait for this dance! Hogwarts, here I come!

The more she pursued her lost love, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury. ===== Series Info======= The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible. The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.
