A/N: Okay guys, I don't like writing A/Ns much because I don't know what to say for them so if I do, it'll be me thanking you for any reviews, follows or favourites.

Anyway, this story is a sort of mash up of a few of my favourite stories, but I won't be copying them, I just like the ideas. Anyway! I like the idea of Hermione coming out from her shell and becoming bad ass as well as being a sort of virgin slut not giving a care in the world, so Hermione will be a bit OOC during this, be warned! I also read a fic where she was secretly an heiress (Tainted By The Past – its good, read it!) so I'm going to include that in there as well :3

Also, 'there will be a lot of writing that might look like this', this just means its someone's thoughts! Oh! And another thing, it's written in the present time, instead of book time, I found it easier with all the references I was making, so if there is anything that wouldn't have been out during the time they were in Hogwarts, that's because I'm writing in 2014 time. xD On the to the story! :D

"Hermione! Bailey's on the phone for you!" Jean Granger called up the three floor story house.

Hermione sighed and stood from the crisp, expensive dresser she had been applying her make up in and walked downstairs to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hermione! It's Bailey! How have you been girl?" An excited, clear American voice travelled through the receiver.

Hermione laughed at the hyperness of her best friend. "I'm good Bails, how have you been?"

"I'm good, it's been crazy over here! Kyle's been throwing parties every weekend!" Bailey released a laugh.

Hermione laughed with Bailey, "I can't wait to see you guys in the summer!"

Tom Granger walked past, pausing to mouth to Hermione, "Who's on the phone?"

"Bailey." Hermione mouthed back.

Tom shaped his mouth into the shape of the word "Ah" before nodding his head and walking into the dining room.

"When are you coming over to visit us in lil' old Kansas eh?" Bailey laughed.

Hermione smiled and replied, "When I click my ruby heels and shout at the top of my lungs 'There's no place like home!'" Hermione loved making references to muggle fictions.

"That old joke again 'Mione?" Bailey giggled.

"Seriously Bails, it's only Easter break, school finishes the third week of June, I'll be home and then fly over to you in the second week of July. I promise." Hermione replied with a smile on her face at her friend's eagerness.

"Goodie! I can't wait!" Bailey squealed.

"Me either girlie!" Hermione recognised the voice of Bailey's older brother, Kyle, in the background.

"Hello Kyle!" Hermione laughed, there was never a dull moment with the Liosons.

"I've got to go, Maddie's over! You remember Maddie right?"

'How can I forget the saint Maddie Hudson?'

"Yeah! How is she?"

"She's good, I'll talk to you soon 'Mione!"

"Bye Bails." The line went dead.

Hermione put down the phone and sighed, turning to head back up the stairs of her parents mansion to finish what she had started on her face.

No one at Hogwarts knew, but Hermione was currently filling the role of an heiress in her rich, high society muggle life. The Grangers were a family that everyone in muggle society either knew or wanted to know. They were the richest family in muggle England, obviously the Malfoys ranked top in the wizarding world. This, for Hermione, was a struggle. She had to stop people in Hogwarts as well as the entire wizarding world from finding out who she really was. Hermione wanted everyone to like her for her personality, not the fact that she was a member of the richest family in muggle society. Hermione had met Bailey at one of her mother's social parties. The Liosons were one of the richest families in muggle America. Obviously, the Liosons knew nothing of Hermione's magical blood, no matter how 'filthy' some at Hogwarts believed it to be.

Maddie Hudson was another story altogether. Hermione was visiting Bailey in America two years ago, before Hermione returned for her fourth year at Hogwarts, when they met. Maddie had been nothing but a blunt stuck up bitch, taking every opportunity she could to flaunt her wealth, looks and smarts, not to mention cleavage around Kyle. So, Hermione had obviously taken an instant dislike towards her and her family, as they portrayed the same features about them. When Hermione actually met Maddie, that's when her dislike for her was confirmed.

Hermione sat down at her dresser and thought back to the time she had met Maddie while finishing her make-up...


"Hermione! So glad you could make it! Meet my friend, Maddie Hudson!"

Hermione analysed the girl in front of her, that looked so different from Bailey. Frizzy blonde, but perfect, hair. Not like Hermione that used to be out of control, perfect frizz.

'Just like Shakira...' Hermione thought.

Her body wasn't too big, or too skinny for that matter, it was perfectly toned, and boy did she show it off. Maddie was wearing a hot pink dress that cut off at Maddie's midriff to show off her toned stomach, but continued at the back, connecting with the front by curving down below her stomach, with the dress falling just below her shins at the back and cutting off just above her shins at the front. On her feet, were black wedges that emphasized how long her legs were.

Maddie seemed to also be analysing Hermione and what she was wearing. Hermione had managed to tame her hair for the evening in the capital of Kansas, Topeka. Her hair was still curly, but sleek and glossy curls that had been made by her favourite stylist, Hugh. Her outfit was what caught Maddie's eye the most, a deep purple, silky top with a bright yellow, fitting skirt that flaunted her curves in the right ways. On Hermione's feet, were cream heels with a strap to secure her feet. To anyone, this outfit was stylish. But obviously not to Maddie.

"You do realise you're in Topeka right? You're not home in England." Maddie sneered at England.

Hermione narrowed her eyes. "And what's that supposed to mean?"

Bailey must have sensed the tension between the completely opposite girls and decided to step in. "Hermione, how about I show you around? Get you acquainted with some of my friends, yeah?"

Hermione eyed Maddie once more before turning to Bailey and smiling. "Of course, excuse me Hudson."

Maddie turned to walk away, but was stopped when Hermione grabbed her wrist.

"Consider me a very dangerous enemy Hudson. I don't take too lightly to offensive comments towards my home country."

Maddie wrenched her wrist free from Hermione's grip and walked away to a group of girls by the pool.


That was one day Hermione was never going to forget. It was the day she considered she had made a very Slytherin move, something Gryffindor would be proud of her for.

Jean Granger's voice floated up the stairs. "Hermione? Are you done sweetheart?"

Hermione checked the mirror at her dresser once more before deciding she was done. "Yeah! I'll be down now!"

Hermione picked up her cardigan from her bed, deciding she was a little chilly, and walked back down the six flights of stairs she had just walked back up.

"These came for you, as well as an invitation." Jean held out four envelopes to her.

Hermione sighed at the thought of yet another invitation to a social party.

"Okay, thanks mum." Hermione muttered, looking at the handwriting on the different envelopes.

Going up the first two flights of stairs to the first floor, Hermione headed to her favourite room, the reading room. Her favourite would have been the library, had it not been connected to the reading room.

She sat down in the chair next to the fire and opened the first envelope. The invitation.

Dear Miss Granger,

You have been invited to the Easter ball that Hogwarts has organised for all students. As you are a sixth year, you will be allowed to stay later than the curfew of 22:00 for the younger students. As it is Easter, it will be fancy dress, so wear your best Easter costume! The curfew for fifth years and over is 00:00. Please make sure that after the ball, you go straight to your dorm. Any students found wandering the halls after curfew will be put into a detention.

The theme for the ball is:

TWISTED MUGGLE CHARACTERS

The aim of the theme is to take a fictional character and make them twisted. For example, a villain may become a good character or a male villain may become a female villain. If you are feeling daring, come as a character that is completely opposite to your personality! Also, as an extra treat, I am proud to announce that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will once again be visiting Hogwarts for the ball!

We look forward to seeing what costumes you can come up with!

Enjoy the rest of your Easter holidays and make sure you bring the invitation enclosed!

Professor Dumbledore

(Headmaster)

Professor McGonagall

(Deputy Headteacher)

Hermione stared at the letter and read over it once more before taking out the invitation from the envelope.

Themed Easter Ball

Please show this at the door.

Come in costume, opposite to your personality if your feeling daring.

Time: 19:00

Date: April 21st

Admits:

There was space for Hermione to either sign or write her name to admit her into the ball.

Hermione smiled to herself at the thought of seeing Hogwarts dressed in muggle characters and the way that they would twist them. Taking her iPhone out of her pocket, Hermione checked the date. 16th April. She had 4 days to get everything she needed for her costume and to make it. Replacing her phone back where it had came from, she picked up the next letter. Her address was scribbled in messy handwriting. Ron.

Hermione,

Have you seen the letter Dumbledore sent us? He must be bloody mad! I can't imagine someone like Malfoy dressing up as a fictional muggle character! Harry and Ginny have decided to go together and are going out tomorrow to get their costumes, matching costumes.

I'm thinking of going as Aladdin, I mean, hopefully I can have his life right? From rags to riches? But obviously, as there's a twist, I'm making him a villain, so I'll tear up the trousers to make it look like there's been a fight and then add blood to the top. I can't write much, Fred and George have made some new products and said that I could test some of them out, so I'll see you at the ball!

Love,

Ron

The next was from Ginny.

Mione,

I take it you got the letter from Dumbledore? I can't wait! Me and Harry are going as Black Widow and Captain America because Harry took me to see Captain America last week and I thought they were such a cute couple! Except, Black Widow is going to be the hero and CA is going to be the side kick (hehe). Harry still wants to be the hero, but I'm not letting him, because I'm evil. What are you thinking of going as? I know Ron wants to be a villainous Aladdin, which in my opinion is twisted as I can never imagine little old Aladdin being evil!

Oh god, Fred and George are at it with their new toys again, I'd better go before Mum kills them!

Speak to you soon Mione!

Love,

Ginny

Hermione laughed at the thought of Ginny going to the cinema. That must have been a sight to see! Hermione realised that there was more writing underneath the letter.

Hermione,

I regret taking Ginny to see Captain America. Please help me, she's obsessed! I'm sorry I can't write my own letter like I normally do, but I've been busy all summer trying to keep my head down after the dementor attack last year. I can't wait to see you at the ball! I'll see you then!

Love,

Harry

Finally, Hermione picked up the final letter, which surprisingly enough was not from anyone in Hogwarts.

Hermione,

I'm writing to let you know that I will be visiting Hogwarts for the Easter ball Dumbledore is hosting. As you may have noticed, I took some lessons in English so when I saw you next, I could speak to you properly. My English is much more fluent now and I can actually say your name now. Why didn't you tell me it wasn't pronounced Her-my-own-ninny? Anyway, I can't wait to see you again! It's been too long...

I look forward to seeing you at the ball,

Yours,

Viktor Krum

Hermione gaped at the letter. It was clear that the Bulgarian had taken English lessons, as he had said, and could now fluently write it! Hermione bit her lip. Did she want to see Viktor again? Last time, he hadn't left her alone, even when she was studying!Hopefully, he had grown out of that phase.

Hermione put the letters aside and started looking through the novels that she had on the bookshelves. She searched for about an hour before she started to give up. Then, she saw her film box. Smiling, Hermione walked over to the box and lifted the lid. Picking out a DVD, Hermione smirked and walked back to her chair, picked up a notepad and started writing down everything she needed to make her costume.

Leather leggings

Leather jacket

Army green tank top

Black tank top

Black leather boots

Ears

Tail

Black hair dye

Hermione looked at her list and smirked once more.

'This is going to be fun. I'm not being Little Miss Prim of the Year anymore.'


A/N: Okay I know I said I didn't like these, but as it's the first chapter I can make an exception c: Can anyone guess what character Hermione has decided to be? 10 points to anyone who can guess who Hermione's Slytherin friend is? I'll give you one hint, it's not our darling little Draco!

Please review so I know how I did! See you all soon darlings!

Hugs and butterfly kisses!

Jamie xo
