"Talking" Thinking(Notes)
In a Whole New Light
Ch.1
Hermione Granger woke up by the sound of her annoying alarm clock. She yawned and got up; this was the last day of her summer vacation. She went over to the mirror and studied her image. But something was wrong, she didn't like the way she looked any more.
She picked up a strand of her frizzy brown hair and thought, Ugh! What happened to me? You know what, I think that it's time for a change. I'm tired of being a bookworm! I'm tired of being the girl who never gets any attention except when it comes to schoolwork! I'm going to shock everyone at Hogwarts this year! She walked out of her room and down the stairs towards the kitchen.
"Mum? Dad?"
"Yes, 'Mione? What is it dear?" her parents replied.
"Do you mind giving me some galleons for some things? Like for some makeup, and some hair potion?"
"Of course dear. How much do you need?"
"Oh about 30 galleons?"
"Certainly dear, just don't waste it," replied her mother.
"We will take you to Diagon Alley today. You can go alone because we already got your books and things. Perhaps you can invite your friend---what's her name? Jenny?" said her father.
"You mean Ginny? Yeah, I'll send her an owl now," replied Hermione, going up the stairs again.
"Aphrodite! Come down here, I need you to send Ginny an owl," Hermione commanded her owl. The tawny owl fluttered down and perched herself on Hermione's shoulder.
Dear Ginny,
Hey, Gin! It's Mione. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go Diagon Alley today and you can sleep over too. My parents can take us to the train tomorrow morning. Send an owl with Aphrodite. You can get here by the Floo Network; we just got it hooked up.
Love you like a sister,
'Moine
She rolled up the piece of parchment and attached it to her owl's leg. Since she lived near Ginny, about 10 miles away, it wouldn't take long for her to respond. Hermione got dressed in some low flares and a black tank top and waited for Ginny's answer.
With the Weasleys
Ginny sat at the breakfast table, dressed in a red tee shirt and a pair of blue capris. She was eating her cereal when Hermione's owl came through the window. "Aphrodite!" Her owl fluttered down and Ginny took the note. "Mum! Can I go to Diagon Alley with Hermione today and then sleepover?"
Mrs. Weasley turned around from the sausage she was cooking and turned to face her daughter. "Sure, Ginny dear. Bring your things and you can take some of the galleons from my purse also. Have fun!"
"Okay, Mum! Thanks!"
Ginny went over to the fireplace with her Hogwarts luggage and grabbed some floo powder from the flowerpot. She walked in and shouted, "Hermione Granger's house!" She was gone.
At Hermione's
"Hermione? Are you there? It's Ginny!" she shouted from the fireplace.
"Ginny! Let me take your luggage for you," yelled Hermione, hugging her best friend and taking her bags, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, you?"
"Fine, well let's get going!" said Hermione, getting into the fireplace and Ginny behind her. "Diagon Alley!" They both shouted.
They ended up in front of Quality Quidditch Supplies and walked down to Madam Julia's Beauty Boutique. "So 'Mione, you didn't tell me why you wanted to come here."
"Okay, I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I thought that I should reinvent myself. And you're going to help me," Hermione spoke.
"Ohh….this is gonna be fun!" exclaimed Ginny, grabbing Hermione's hand and dragging her inside.
The Next Morning
"Ginny, are you sure that I look okay?" worried Hermione as they walked onto the Hogwarts Express.
"You look great! Stop worrying!"
Hermione's hair was no longer bushy, but wavy and shiny. Her eyes were lined in black and bathed in mascara, which made her eyes look much bigger and her lips were glazed with matte lipgloss. She had a flawless complexion, so she needed no foundation. In a word, she was gorgeous now.
They walked down the corridor and Hermione couldn't help but smile when several young men gawked at her. They heard very loud laughing and looked into the glass. Ginny's brothers Ron, George, and Fred (George and Fred came back to school because Molly would have their heads if they didn't. LOL) were in there along with Harry. And to the girls advantages, there was exactly two seats left.
Ginny slid open the door and popped her head inside. "Can me and 'Mione sit in here? Everywhere else is full," asked Ginny.
They nodded and the girls entered. Both of the twins looked particularly surprised, because they had identical evil grins on their faces.
Everyone had a good time catching up, telling how their summer was, etc. Ginny couldn't help but wonder why both of her twin brothers were staring at Hermione the whole time on the train. (Hmmmm….let's guess….)
Hermione had a good time talking to Ron and Harry. She walked off of the train with them, along with Ginny. One of the last pair of people left on the train were the twins.
"Say George, is it me or is Hermione much hotter than usual?" asked Fred.
"I have to say so. I think I am gonna ask her out. Do you mind if I do?"
"Yes! Actually I do because I fancy her too!" exclaimed Fred.
"Well," said George with a mischevious grin, "Why don't we give her a taste of both worlds and decide who she likes better?"
"Fine," replied Fred extending his hand towards his brother. Let the games begin! They both thought.
