I wish I could tie you up in my shoes

Make you feel unpretty too

I was told I was beautiful

But what does that mean to you?

Look into the mirror, who's inside there?

The one with the long hair,

same old me again today

"Hermione?"

"What?"

"Are you okay?"

"Just fine, Ginny."

"So, why are you up here, all alone?"

"I just saw Ron."

"So?"

"With Lavender."

"Oh, no, Hermione, I'm so sorry!"

"What's it like?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's it like to have everyone staring at you because you're so pretty?"

"Umm..."

My outsides are cool, my insides are blue

Every time I think I'm through, It's because of you

I've tried different ways, but it's all the same

At the end of the day, I have myself to blame

I'm just trippin'

"What are you talking about, you are pretty Hermione."

"Then why does Ron cheat on me?"

"Because Ron is an idiot."

"But he wouldn't cheat on me, if I looked like you or Lavender."

"Hermione, you don't know that."

"This isn't this first time that this has happened."

"What?"

"He's cheated on me with Lavender, Parvati, and her sister."

You can by your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the makeup that mac can make

But if you cant look inside you

Find out who am I, too

Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

"Why didn't you tell anybody?"

"Because, it's my burden to bear."

Suddenly there was a loud crack filling the air. Ron stumbled in, the aroma of beer prevalent.

"HERMIONE!" He greeted her boisterously.

"Stay away from her, asshole!" Ginny spat at her older brother.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty

I feel pretty and witty and bright

Never insecure until I met you

Now I'm being stupid

I Used to be so cute to me

Just a little bit skinny

Why do I look to all these things

To keep you happy?

Maybe get rid of you

Then I'll get back to me

"Hermione?"

"Don't talk to me."

"What's going on?

"I saw you with Lavender."

Ron's face turned to one of shame, and anger. "Saw that did you?"

Hermione's face contorted with rage. "You don't even try to deny it?"

"Nope. What's the point? With your snooping, you would have found out anyway."

My outsides look cool, my insides are blue

Every time I think I'm through, It's because of you

I've tried different ways, but it's all the same

At the end of the day, I have myself to blame

Keep on tripping

"Is it because I'm not pretty?" Hermione whispered brokenly.

"Yeah," Ron said, snidely. "That's about it." He disaperated with a loud crack.

Hermione collapsed to the floor in a quivering heap. Ginny sank down to the floor beside her and held her as she cried. Hermione wiped her eyes and looked at Ginny. "Thanks for staying with me."

"Your my best friend. It's my job."

"Don't you have to go meet Harry?"

"Yeah, but I'll owl him, he'll understand."

"So what's going on between you two?"

"Just friendship. We agreed that we were better off as friends."

"I'm sorry Ginny."

"Don't be, I met someone."

You can by your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the makeup that mac can make

But if you cant look inside you

Find out who am I, too

Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

"Ginny, you're so lucky."

"So are , I'll see you later." Ginny walked out the door and left Hermione.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty

I feel pretty and witty and brave

And I used to pity, and girl who wasn't me

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Hermione looked in the mirror and sighed. What was it about her that Ron found so unattractive? Was it her hair? Was it her nose? She sat looking in the mirror, sighing. She had everything for Ron, and what did she get in return? Nothing. It would take time to move on, but she was sure she could. It would take time to build her self confidence, but it could happen, someday.

I feel pretty

You can buy you hair if it won't grow

Oh so pretty

You can fix your nose if he says so

I feel pretty, and witty and brave

You can buy all the makeup that mac can make

But if you cant look inside you

Find out who am I too,

Put me in a position to feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty, but unpretty

So, after a long, long hiatus, I have returned and I heard this song on the show Glee, and I didn't really realize it was a mash-up until after the show, but I really wanted to do a story with this song, and I wanted it to be something that would make Hermione feel vulnerable, and something that would really make her question herself. So this is what came out of it. Hope you love it!
