I, Hermione Granger, am friends with Ginny Weasely, prettiest and most popular girl at Hogwarts! She was by far the coolest person in school, not to mention Draco Malfoys best girl friend!

"Hermione - now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project."

"You really don't have to do that"

"I know. That's what makes me so nice!"

"Whenever I see someone Less fortunate than I (And let's face it - who isn't Less fortunate than I?) My tender heart Tends to start to bleed And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over I know I know exactly what they need And even in your case Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed Follow my lead And yes, indeed You will be:"

Oh Merlin! She's singing!

"Popular! You're gonna be popular! I'll teach you the proper ploys. When you talk to boys Little ways to flirt and flounce (Ooh!) I'll show you what shoes to wear. How to fix your hair Everything that really counts.

"To be popular I'll help you be popular! You'll hang with the right cohorts You'll be good at sports Know the slang you've got to know So let's start 'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go:"

"Ginny I don't think this is really nessi..." I got cut off.

"Don't be offended by my frank analysis Think of it as personality dialysis Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a Sister and adviser. There's nobody wiser Not when it comes to popular - I know about popular And with an assist from me To be who you'll be Instead of dreary who-you-were:are: There's nothing that can stop you From becoming popu- ler.. lar.

"La la la la We're gonna make You popular.

When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features I remind them on their own behalf To think of Celebrated heads of state or Specially great communicators Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh!He,he!"

They were popular! Please - It's all about popular! It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me!

"Why, Miss Granger, look at you. You're beautiful."

"I - I have to go"

"You're welcome!"

"And though you protest Your disinterest I know clandestinely You're gonna grin and bear it Your new found popularity La la la la You'll be popular - Just not quite as popular As me!"

XOXO

I ran and ran. Ginny gave me a make over, a COMPLETE make-over! Oh Merlin! What am I going to tell Harry and Ron! I started to slow down. As I was walking along the hallway, I passed by a girls bathroom, curious as to what I looked like, I went in and looked at my reflection.

"Oh my.." I started at the girl.. NO! Woman in front of me. She was gorgeous! "Is that really me?"

Gone was the bushy hair and in its place was shinny and wavy brown hair. I backed up a little bit to see the rest of my body. You could see my curves!

"Merlin Ginny! I'm... pretty!" Yes, I am aware that I was alone, thank you very much! The woman in front of me was wearing short-shorts, a red and silver fitted tank, and silver flats.

I blinked. Yup, that's me. Hermione "Bookworm" Granger! "Might as well go to lunch. No use changing, there's no time.." Sigh, I started to head down to the great hall, where i could here all the chatter.

I'm grateful that today we could wear what ever! Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and opened the doors to the great hall.

Silence. Complete and total silence. I opened my eyes to find the ENTIRE great hall staring at me!

Then, there where cat calls, whispers of, "Is that GRANGER?" "Merlin! When did we get the hottie!", and the clinking of forks hitting plates. Taking yet ANOTHER deep breath, I walked to my usual table with Harry and Ron.

"Hey guys!" I said.

"Mione? Is that you?" They said together.

"Yes, its me... Does it look that bad?" I asked worriedly looking down at my clothes.

"No, NO! You look.. Well... You look gorgeous 'Mione!" I blushed.

Taking my seat in the middle of Ron and Harry was when i noticed that there were others at our table.

"oh.. Hey Ginny, Lavender, Pavarti,.. Dra-Malfoy."

"Hey!" Ginny said, "I told you that you looked gorgeous!" Que blush.

"Yeah, you did."

"BLOODY HELL!" Ron exclaimed, "GINNY did this to you?" I nodded.

It was then that Malfoy spoke up. "You look good Granger!" Blushing, I replied, "Thanks Malfoy."

The rest of lunch as spent talking about the dance tomorrow.

"Hey, Hermione! Are you going to the dance?" Ginny asked.

"Erm.. No.. I don't have a date.."

"Oh.." was her reply "Yeah sorry Ginny!"

XOXO

After dinner as I was walking to my dorm someone called my name.

"Granger! Granger! Hermione! Wait up!" That was Draco Malfoy!

"Yes Malfoy?" I said, curiosity edging my voice.

"You said *gasp* that you *gasp* didn't have a *gasp* date for the dance *gasp* right?" He asked.

I giggled, "Yes, out of breath Malfoy?"

"Draco."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Draco?"

"My name is Draco. Please call me by it."

"Only if you call me Hermione, Draco."

"Deal!"

"Oh! What did you want to know about the dance?"

There was a pink tinge on his cheeks, "Well, I was wondering if..."

XOXO
