For the next hour Harry was treated to his own 'runway' show with his two bondmates acting as the models. They started off with formal traditional robes and worked their way through to modern informal muggle. At first, Harry was just hoping the whole thing would be over soon - or that the Headmaster would turn up and drag him back to Hogwarts - but, as the ladies progressed to modern muggle summer wear, he started to take more and more interest.
As they modelled, both girls spoke as to why they selected to try on that particular outfit, and to what Harry could wear to match. Most of it went over his head; but he started to become aware of how he'd been forced to try on swimwear, and wondered what they'd do to match. He got more and more eager after each passing minute. Deece had noticed and was quite amused. So had both his bondmates.
With the sun dresses done, Madam Malkin waved her wand and a large screen appeared, cutting off that side of the store with the rest.
Hermione came out first wearing a sleek one piece swimming costume. It had a little affixed skirt hanging from the hips to drop to low thigh. Her bust was pushed almost flat and some kind of ruffle further broke the line of her breasts. It was predominantly dark blue with other shades of blue to change the lines. "For wearing in the wizarding world," she said, and clearly waited for his opinion.
"Ummm,' he muttered. "If you have to wear that much material you should probably see if they have it in reds, russets, browns and oranges. Actually, something like deciduous leaves at autumn. That would best go with your skin, hair and eyes."
She turned to the mirror and asked, "Are you sure? I usually go for blues and the like."
Deece said, "No, I think he's right. Try it and see."
The store witch who was in there with them looked from Deece back to Hermione, gave a firm nod and disappeared back beyond the screen.
In the mean time, Hermione returned to the changing booth as Daphne came out. Hers was a similar style but in black with a shimmer of greens and silver.
Harry immediately said, "Try it in an aqua." Deece nodded and said, "I agree."
When the store witch returned with a new wizarding witch swimsuit for Hermione, she held it over the top of the door of the change room for her. When she removed her arm a moment later it was holding the old suit.
Daphne caught her attention and, indicating her swimming costume, said, "Do you have this in an aqua?"
"I'll see," the witch replied, leaving with Hermione's first swimsuit.
Hermione returned a moment later wearing the new suit. "Wow!" exclaimed Harry as soon as he saw it.
"Yeah, wow!" said Daphne, looking the girl over. "That really suits you!" "Indeed," said Deece.
"I never thought to wear these colours before," said Hermione looking down.
"They suit you," said Deece. "We may have to consider your other choices in light of this."
Harry lightly groaned.
With a smirk towards him, Deece said, "You should have thought of that before."
"No, keep what you've got," said Daphne. "We can always shop for more in Hogsmeade."
Harry let out a quiet sigh of relief.
When the sales witch brought back another suit for Daphne, she took it into the change room and changed into it. When she came out Deece and Hermione both immediately said, "Yes." To which Harry had to agree.
Daphne blushed a little and said, "From this point on, Harry, you need to go back over to the other side of the screen."
Hermione blushed and, looking at Harry, nodded.
"What?" he whined. "But, we're just getting to the good stuff!"
"Out, Mister!" Daphne demanded.
"But, you saw me..." he tried, before she interrupted him.
While sticking her arm out and pointing a finger to the other side of the store, she barked, "Out!" "That's not..." he tried, again.
"Out!" barked Hermione.
"Oh, come on!"
"OUT!" Hermione, Daphne and even Deece demanded. Deece had even started pushing him by his shoulder in the direction of the screen.
"Fine!" he grumped, throwing both hands up and almost stomping out. The store witch gave him a look mixed between amusement and pity as he passed. From what he saw of what she was carrying, he almost looked plaintively back.
Back on the other side, he found a seat and sat down to wait. From behind the screen he heard whispering, giggling and gasps of - whatever. He really wanted to see what was going on over the other side of that blasted screen.
With a sigh he thought, 'I know we don't want people to know just how far we've progressed the bonds, but this is ridiculous.'
While he was sitting and waiting he looked around and saw that all the clothing he would be purchasing was neatly packaged on the counter, waiting. He couldn't even go through it to take a better look, now that he actually had time to do so.
When the girls were finally finished, they're selections were all wrapped on the other side of the screen and brought around. Madam Malkin vanished the screen and Harry was called to the counter to make payment.
He heard what the final price was and looked gob smacked. "I don't have that much on me!" he complained.
Daphne rolled her eyes and grabbed his right hand, holding it up. "Pay for it with your ring, Harry," she said a little exasperated with him. "The funds will be automatically transferred from your vaults to Madam Malkins's business vault."
Harry did as instructed and, moments later, all their packages had been shrunk and dumped in his pockets.
