JK ROWLING! You are so awesome that I cannot say that I own any of these characters because you do and I do not! Much love.

Chapter one

Awoken by the sound of a loud car's horn, Hermione rubbed her eyes and bright morning light swarmed around her eyes. It was a beautiful, cool and sunny summer morning. Birds were chirping and kids were riding bikes and playing jump-rope outsides.

Hermione rolled over in her queen-sized bed covered in silky white, royal blankets. A few minutes later, three girls barged into the room. Hermione sat straight up and the girls in the door way just stared.

"Why aren't you up yet?" One of the girls said. She was a pretty red-headed girl with faded freckled and only a little bit of needed makeup. Her hair was up in a sloppy bun and strands of hair fell over the sides of her face. The other two girls, the Patil twins ran forwards and pulled Hermione out of bed.

"Ginny…" Hermione complained as she yawned. Before she could say anything else, Ginny, Pavarti and Padma shoved Hermione into the shower. Ginny, sitting on the counter in the bathroom, spoke to Hermione.

"Don't tell me you forgot about the trip!" Ginny said. "The road trip we're going on today… the 2nd of July?"

"Umm…" Hermione said forgetfully as she rinsed shampoo foam from her hair and wiped soap from her eyes.

"The road trip!" Ginny said impatiently. "To Sunset beach!" There was a stop in all movement. The shower curtains had just opened enough so that Hermione could stick out her head. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was opened.

"Oh- my- god." She said. "I've absolutely forgotten!" Hermione said. She completed her shower and Ginny casually threw her a towel. Seconds later, Hermione stepped out of the shower, wrapped all around with a purple fuzzy towel. Hermione wiped the steam from the mirror and started putting on a light coat of makeup.

"I can't believe I forgot about this trip!" Hermione finished putting on a light layer of eyeliner. "I've been we awaiting this since- since even first thought of going on a road trip before we were even able to drive!" She finished putting on mascara and then brushed her hair facing Ginny. "Sorry Gin…"

"No time! Get dressed! Traffic gets bad after the hour!" Ginny said impatiently. There was a sudden loud shatter from Hermione's room, which made Hermione's towel almost fall off and Ginny jump two feet in the air. Seconds later, two pretty twin heads popped around the cracked door.

"Sorry-" Pavarti said.

"You no longer have a blue vase." Padma said with playful enthusiasm.

"We picked you out a smoking outfit! Actually we bought you a whole new wardrobe…" Pavarti said.

"You need some fashion advice anyways-" Padma and Pavarti quickly threw Hermione the outfit and snapped out of the room.

"I'm not wearing this." Hermione snapped.

Ginny took the outfit from her and observed it.

"It's adorable!" Ginny said. "Try it on our I'll curse you." Ginny left the bathroom so Hermione could put on the outfit. Minutes later, Ginny, Padma and Pavarti barged in and Hermione turned. Whey the three saw was a brand new Hermione. She no longer looked so modest and shy but she stood out in her flowing white skirt and vintage tank top covered in a simple vintage sweater. She wasn't wearing her buckled school shoes but stylish flip-flops.

"Perfect." Pavarti and Padma said at the same time.

"Lets do her hair!" Ginny rushed over and dried Hermione's hair with her wand tip and started putting clips and pins in her hair. When they were done, the sight was a little overkill.

"I don't think so." Padma said with a disgusted look on her face. The three of them rushed back to Hermione and just brushed her hair straight.

"Wow." Hermione said as she looked in the mirror. Her hair was just plain and straight. It was also a different color. It was still brown but with perfect blonde streaks.

"It's a little plain-" Ginny started

"No- it's perfect!" Hermione said. She stared at the new 'her' in the mirror for another five minutes amazed and barely recognized herself.

"We really have to go-"

"Right!" Hermione rushed into her room and saw that her suitcase was sloppily packed and she rushed over to fix it. Ginny grabbed her arm.

"Not now. We've got to go." Hermione hesitated and grabbed her purse and left the room with Ginny, Padma and Pavarti. The suitcase was magically levitated and it floated behind them as they walked to the car.

It was a candy red convertible and had it's top down. There were two rows of seats. The seats were covered with black leather and the steering wheel was covered in a sequenced red furry cover. Ginny popped the trunk and loaded Hermione's things. Hermione locked the door to her parent's house and climbed into the car. The twins sat in back and Hermione sat in the front passenger's seat while Ginny drove.

"Finally got your license?" Hermione asked as the car started.

"Yup. Finally. After six tries, I finally memorized the correct answers on the test." Ginny said perkily.

"I don't get the muggle world much." Padma began. "People get around the hardest ways. Amazing they haven't discovered anti-gravity yet!"

"It's so much easier. Less traffic." Pavarti explained.

"Mum and dad said we have to blend in with the muggle crowd." Ginny said. "Said something about you-know-who and not standing out much. Who knows."

Ginny put the car in reverse and they left Hermione's driveway and headed off.
