Summary: This story is based during their fifth year at Hogwarts. A few changes happen to Hermione over the summer hols, Ron and Harry have a few rather scary ideas. Beware! There is a quantity of near- sex experiences, and a few with Draco too!  

A/N: I really prefer writing romance stories for some reason, and Hermione is one of the characters who have had a really bad time of it with Harry in JKR's books, so here's my idea of what Hermione should be like, but obviously exaggerated to make things that much more interesting… he he he

Changes like the weather…

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Harry and Ron clambered aboard the Hogwarts express, looking for Hermione. Neither of them had seen or heard of her the whole of the holidays and were actually worried. They found Hermione huddled in a bunch in a corner of the end carriage. Her hair was no longer bushy or brown, but the fact that Advanced Transfiguration was lying by her side, gave it away. They couldn't imagine what was wrong, except that either she had fallen asleep from reading, or because for the first time I her life she couldn't do something, it had reduced her to tears. "Hermione, what's up? How were your hols? Why haven't you written to us? Are you okay?" Harry asked, concerned, when Hermione didn't reply. He sat down next to her, and awkwardly, put his arm around her. Hermione lifted her head just enough for Harry to see her face. Then Harry realised what was wrong. Well, it wasn't a bad something, but it was different. Very different. Harry stared at this new Hermione, unable to keep his face straight. " Oh Hermione…Wow!" Hermione's face was so different form what he remembered it to be that he was sure that it was someone else. She now had long lashes, beautifully curved brows, large brown eyes and full pouty lips. They weren't made up, obviously, but she looked so pretty that Harry was worried that he may lose control of himself.  "Hermione, what could be wrong? You look beautiful. That's not a bad thing. Maybe Malfoy will shut up now." Hermione bit her lower lip, sighed and stood up. Then it was evident what was wrong. Hermione's robes were longer than they had been last year, so she stood shoulder to shoulder with Harry, and it was obvious, even wearing the baggy robes, that Hermione had developed a stunning figure. Her breasts were large and showed slightly through her tight top. Her legs were long and slim and looking at her both Ron and Harry felt very unsure of themselves. It was as if Hermione Granger had stepped out of a magazine of Page three models.

Their reaction was rather worrying, because both Harry and Ron as soon as they had given Hermione the once over, promptly ran out of the carriage, unable to look back. A drawling bored voice came through the doorway and before Hermione could sit down or hide herself was left face to face with the arrogant cruelty of Draco Malfoy.

'Hey Granger, it looks like something scared Potty and the Weasel. Have you finally grown fangs during the holidays? Or have your brains finally burst and they're both upset at having lost their 'girlfriend?' Malfoy laughed sarcastically as he entered the compartment but immediately stopped when he saw Hermione.

' Excuse me, but I thought you were someone else. Have Potter and Weasley been bothering you? It is so like them to interfere with older students.' Malfoy had quickly switched to his treacle thick voice that Hermione found increasingly irritating. It was worse than having Harry and Ron walk out on her.

' Oh shut up and get out of the way Malfoy. You know perfectly well who I am, and you'd better be careful what you say, or I will very simply curse that face of yours out of this train." Hermione hurried past him, pushing him out of the way and colliding into Fred and George Weasley.

'Sorry, Hermione. Know where Ron and Harry are? They were looking for you earlier...' Suddenly the twins stopped their talking when they looked at Hermione properly. Their eyes became wider than saucers and Hermione feared that their tongues would soon hang out and they would start panting, like thirsty dogs.

'Hermione? Is that you? Well, we don't know what to say. You've changed a lot, that I grant, but you look... gorgeous! Dear God, did I actually say that? Hermione Granger, what in heavens name happened to you?' Fred and George slapped their foreheads, simultaneously. 'Whatever it is...erm... it was a good thing, but how?!' Hermione grabbed Fred and George's hands and led them in search of Harry and Ron.

'Can we look for Harry and Ron first? I'll do any explaining later. Okay?' The twins nodded their heads in agreement, they were still slightly lost. Understandably.

Harry and Ron had run as fast as possible from the end carriage, as far away from Hermione and her stunning profile as possible. When they reached an empty carriage they sat down on the seats with a heavy thump.

' What are we going to do?' Harry asked himself, as well as Ron. 'I couldn't stand being there near her, looking like that, yet still being Hermione. It's just so irritating!'

'It's not so bad for you, knowing Hermione's had a crush on you for the past four years. Perhaps now you'll sleep with her and get everything out in the open.'

'Excuse me, but it's not that easy. You see, I'm now physically attracted to her, but I don't love her, and what do you mean that she's had a crush on me for the past four years? And….she knows how much you like her too. Oh Lord, why'd you do this to us?!'

"Oh!" The two boys spun around to face an irate Hermione, their faces pale and obviously scared.  But she was too angry to see the funny side of the look on their faces.

"Hermione," Harry started, obvioiusly flustered. "I'm so sorry it had to come out like that. Oh God..."

 " You're sorry! I'm sorry I couldn't stop growing at twelve years old... I'm so sorry that I've finally made you look at me and all you want to do is run away... that you've finally been brave enough to tell the wall that you find me attractive... How long was it going to be before you told me about how much you hate...how much you hate...me?!"

"Hermione, I don't hate you... It's just that I've never seen you like this," his tone quietened. "You look so beautiful, and I've never seen you look like that before..." Suddenly, Hermione burst into tears, and fell into Harry's arms, sobbing. She was shaking, uncontrollably, all the fears she'd had over the whole of the holidays coursing through her. Harry's arms enveloped her, gently, stroking her back and her hair, with a strained and guilty look on his face.

Ron looked shocked, his eyes wide, as he saw Hermione fall into his best friend's arms.

"I should...er... go, and wait outside. Sorry, Hermione. See you Harry."

Ron walked quickly out of the compartment, his head full of troubled thoughts. Of course I should have realised the reason she didn't want to go to the Yule Ball with me was because of Harry. Of course Hermione would want someone, clever and smart and good-looking. Who else could there be but the Boy- Who- Lived, for the most beautiful of Gryffindors, as well as the most smart and courageous of the girls in our year? Ron built a little storm cloud of sadness in his head, realising that the girl he had liked for so long was out of the picture. His best friends were now a couple, and he had no one. I wonder how Ginny'll take this.

Draco was still standing speechless in the doorway when Ginny Weasley walked passed him and looked around the compartment. The fact that the room was empty quickly dawned on her and she reeled around to face Malfoy.

"Okay now, you rubber faced snake, what have you done with Harry and my brother? I saw them come in here a few minutes ago, looking for Hermione. What have you done with them?" She stalked towards Draco, her eyes flashing. She looked at him eye to eye, glaring.

Still dumbstruck, his brain slowly recognised Gunny, yet not as a Weasley but as girl, whose copper colouerd hair and hourglass figure were as beautiful as before, but now were standing excruiatingly close to quarters. He blinked, looked at her and suddenly leant forwards slightly and kissed her on the mouth.    

A/N: Ok, I've decided to leave it there, cos it's a beautiful cliff-hanger and I'm still not sure what sort of role Draco is going to play in this mess. I'm desperately trying to find  someone to give you all an example of how beautiful Hermione is, so if you can find a brown haired beauty, with the brains, 1. Well done, and 2. send a pic or at least who you think she could be to make things easier on us all, please? Now Review!!!!

The Chapter has now ended

Read? Review!!
