A/N: Let me see…what to say? Well first of all I would like to explain that none of the characters belong to me. They all belong to JK Rowling, but we all knew that right? I have no money and no infringement is intended.
Fire's Heaven
"Hello Love," he said to her. He crossed the room in three strides and found his way over to her chair.
Oh hi," she said. "You caught me by surprise."
He leaned in and gave her a soft passionate kiss.
"Now that really caught me by surprise," she said.
"Really? Well then maybe I should do it more often."
I wouldn't mind that at all," she giggled.
He leaned in for another sweet kiss, and just as his lips were about to meet hers…Hermione awoke to the sound of talking.
"Yes, Seamus said he wanted to take it slow," Lavender began.
"How Sweet!!" squealed Parvati.
"Uugh," commented Hermione. "I was awoken from a fabulous dream to hear about Seamus!"
Luckily neither Parvati nor Lavender heard her.
Hermione rubbed the sleep from her eyes and winced as her feet touched the cold stone floor. She looked around and finally found her towel. She enchanted it to follow her into the shower.
Half an hour later Hermione stepped out of the shower and walked to her closet. She found a turtleneck and some pants and put them on. She sat at the vanity desk and surveyed her appearance.
The image in the mirror was that of a girl with straight long hair, brown eyes, a small nose, and a pretty smile.
"It's only straight now because it's wet!!!" she said aggravated with her overactive hair. Suddenly an idea came to her…that book Lavender had. She went over to Lavender and asked her.
"Lavender can I borrow that hairdo book?" Hermione asked.
"Sure," Lavender said. Then smiling she taunted Hermione in a playful manner, "who are you trying to impress…and on a Saturday!"
Parvati looked up from her nails and looked at Hermione with interest, "Oooh let me do a makeover…I've been dieing to do one for the longest time…"
"No. No, that's okay," Hermione said, already regretting her idea of talking to them. They weren't enemies, but they weren't exactly close either, and it made Hermione uncomfortable to have them touching her hair and painting her face.
"Please!!!" pleaded both Lavender and Parvati.
"Fine, but nothing too extreme," Hermione said.
Both Lavender and Parvati squealed and they immediately sat Hermione down and curled and blushed and applied.
An hour later Hermione looked at herself and smiled. Her hair was up in a French twist. Her eyes had a light pink eye shadow and her lips were a soft pink. She thanked Lavender and Parvati and walked to the fourth year dormitory.
"Ginny," Hermione called. She found the red head sitting in her bed reading a book. As it was Saturday breakfast started at 9:00 so there was nothing to do but wait. It was currently 8:30 and Hermione wanted to walk to breakfast with her best friend.
"Oh hello Hermione?" Ginny smiled. "You look pretty…though I have been begging you to let me make you over for months…what made you give in to Parvati and Lavender?"
"I don't know I just wanted to look different today," Hermione said.
"I really have no idea what you see in Ron…" Ginny said.
"Well I can say the same about you and Harry…but you don't see me teasing," Hermione countered.
"Fine," Ginny said. "Give me five minutes to get my shoes on." Fifteen minutes later Ginny was ready to go. Having changed her clothes three times changed her hairstyle twice and applied the wrong shade of lip-gloss fussing about where the plum shade was.
"I thought you just needed to put on your shoes!" Hermione laughed. They both giggled all the way down to the common room where they found Harry and Ron sitting playing chess.
"You two are up pretty early! What's that all about?" Ginny asked.
"Couldn't sleep," Harry said. "So I woke Ron up and forced him to play chess with me." He talked but he didn't look up. Making his move, Harry sighed as Ron captured his knight.
"Anyway," Harry said finally looking up. "Do you want to go down to breakfast?" Harry's eyes widened as he saw both girls standing there. "You two look nice," he offered.
Ginny smiled but Hermione only waited…trying to see if the red head who's attention she did want would notice.
Ron was busy putting away the board and pieces. He didn't look up until Harry said that they looked nice. He saw his little sister and the person he supposed was Hermione, and dropped the board in shock as he saw her standing there. She looked gorgeous.
"Good morning Ginny, Hermione," he said smiling as he said Hermione's name. Hermione blushed.
"Let's go down to breakfast," Ginny said.
Ron broke his gaze from Hermione and nodded. They walked from Gryffindor tower. During their walk Ron kept stealing glances at Hermione. Goodness did she look pretty.
A/N: Chapter two to be posted soon…feel free to review.
