Hermione Granger
Why did I let Ginny talk me into going shopping? I thought as I paced around my room. It's not like I don't have any decent clothes already. I looked at my wardrobe and shook my head.
I heard the doorbell ring and someone coming up the stairs. A moment later there was a knock on my bedroom door.
"Hermione?"
Damn! She's here... Why is Ginny here so early? We aren't leaving for another half hour!
"Hermione! Come on! We're gonna miss the sales!" I heard her yell.
"Alright, alright! I'm coming!" I called back to her.
I opened my door and stared at my best friend. I hadn't seen her for weeks and she had changed. Her red hair had grown and now shaped her face. Her figure had developed into a womanly one with her curved assets showing more prominently. But the thing I most noticed was her height. During the break she must have shot up like a bean pole but unlike some other unfortunate girls of her age, it complimented her instead of making her look lanky and awkward.
I realized that she too, was staring at me as if I was a completely different person. I didn't think that I had changed that much. Sure, my hair had grown out of its bush and now fell in soft waves. My body had lost all its baby fat and looked much better now that I had joined a gym. I also had a slight tan as my parents had taken me to Hawaii for two weeks. I was looking for a way to break the silence when Ginny leapt out of her trance and squealed.
"Oh My God! Hermione! When did you get so hot? You are going to be sooo popular with the boys this year! Wait until Harry and Ron see you! They won't be able to keep their eyes off you!"
I blushed and replied as I hugged her, "Thanks Gin. But look at you! You've grown so tall! I bet Harry will notice you this year!"
We parted and wiped out eyes as we had both started crying with happiness at seeing each other again.
"We had better go, Hermione. We have a full day of shopping ahead of us! And no complaining" She added as I rolled my eyes and groaned. "I mean, look at what you're wearing now and what is in your wardrobe!"
I looked down at myself. I didn't think I looked that bad. I had some semi-old jeans that looked like they were from the 80's but were really comfortable. A shirt with a murky green knitted jumper over the top and I had my old trainer's on my feet.
"Oh." I replied, "I guess you're right. I am a fashion emergency."
"Of course you are! But don't worry. Aunty Ginny will fix you up in no time!"
And with that statement she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the one place that I most feared, the mall. As soon as we got there she started grabbing things off shelves, racks and out of piles. After what seemed like hours but was only really minutes, she walked over to me and said that it was time to try things on. I followed her like a diligent puppy and went into the change rooms with the clothes that she had picked out for me. I slowly got changed and looked at myself in the mirror, fearing that I'd see something so hideous that it would burn my eyes. I looked at the mirror and gulped. It was like I couldn't breathe. Who was this person?
I vaguely heard Ginny calling me and I yelled to her where I was. When she saw me she gasped.
"Hermione…" she breathed, "You look beautiful."
"Thanks" I replied still staring in awe.
We tried more things on and we both looked spectacular. By the time we got back to my house, late in the afternoon, we were both tired, hungry and carrying many shopping bags. We fell asleep on the lounge while watching a movie and slept the whole night through.
A/N: Hey this is my first attempt so try not to be too harsh! I have more chapters and I'll post them soon but I'd like some more ideas if you would like to give them to me... REVIEW! Please.
