Older Hermione's prov:
"During my first five years at Hogwarts I was considered a bookworm and a know-it-all. I was the best and smartest witch in my year. I was and remain to this day the brains of the "Golden Trio". We were also known as the "Dream Team." Until my 5th year at Hogwarts, I didn't believe that True Love existed. I knew that puppy Love existed. I also knew that friendship love and family love existed. At least up until fifth year. Up until the summer before my sixth year at Hogwarts I really didn't care that much about my apperience.But then I realized that I wanted to change because people always ridiculed me about how I looked. It was because it unusual for a teenage girl at Hogwarts to be tomboyish. I also changed because I wanted guys to notice me. That day on the Hogwarts Express was one of the more interesting journeys to Hogwarts. Well from my perspective it was at least. I had reunited with Fred, George, Ron, Harry and Ginny a month earlier. I had gone to stay with them for the remainder of the summer at the Burrow. So they were already use to my new look. Ginny had altered a few things that I had done and I look better now then I did before. She also gave me a few suggestions."
