Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, I would be putting this genius stuff into the books that I would be making millions of dollars off of. But no, you don't see Hermione and Draco getting together in J.K. Rowlings' version of the stories do you? But I do own the plot, and Megan Brown, which is myself, so I guess that that would be a given. Anyways, I don't own it. Duh.
Summary: When Hermione finds out she's Head Girl for her 7th and final year at Hogwarts, her mother treats her to a makeover and shopping spree. She vows to herself to use her newly polished looks to her advantage. How you may ask? Well, Hermione has a secret. She's crazy over Draco Malfoy. Her promise to herself is to win over the Slytherin Ice Prince, rumored a Sex God. With Hermione and Malfoy as Heads this year, things get interesting. Along with Draco and Hermione hooking up, they're best friends, Blaise and Ginny (respectively), and Pansy and Harry (also respectively), also fall for each other.
Not for the Ron fan, as well, I don't like him. Slightly AU (No HBP/DH Meaning Dumbledore/Snape are alive and the Trio has no added reason to hate Draco)
Pairings:
Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger
Blaise Zambini/Ginny Weasley
Neville Longbottom/OC
Harry Potter/Pansy Parkinson
Ron Weasley/Lavender Brown
Seamus Finnigan/Dean Thomas

Getting Along
The Icing on the Cake
When Hermione Granger woke up on August 1st the summer before her 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she expected to be waking up to her alarm clock, not an owl tapping on her window. After shaking off the half-sleepy state she was in, she realized that this could be her Hogwarts letter. She had been excitedly waiting all summer to find out if she had gotten Head Girl. She leapt out of bed and tore over to the window. Opening the window, she saw that the envelope the owl carried had a Hogwarts seal on it.
Hermione Pov
"I can't wait to know if all the homework will have paid off."
Hermione, of course it paid off, you have amazing grades.
I know, but this would be like the icing on the cake.
End Pov
After the inner battle she had with herself, she spoke "This is the moment of truth I guess." She opened her slightly heavier-than-usual letter, and saw a Head badge inside.
Dear Ms. Hermione Granger
You have been chosen to be this year's Head Girl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You have received this position due to your high grades for the past 6 years, and with the idea that you will not let that change in your 7th and final year at school. You will note the absence of the list of items you need. Your books and supplies have already been purchased for you as an added reward for receiving this title. You and the Head Boy will come to Hogwarts a week early. On August 25th you will be expected at the train station at 9:00 at Platform 9 3/4. Also, please note that Hogwarts students will no longer be required to wear the school uniform.
Yours sincerely,
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards.
When Hermione finished reading her letter, she screamed with joy. Her mother, thinking something was wrong ran into Hermione's room, to see what was going on.
"Mia, dear what's going on? I heard you screaming." She asked frantically.
Hermione grabbed her mother by the shoulders and spun the two of them around.
"Nothing is wrong mother, I just got my Hogwarts letter. I'm Head Girl this year." Hermione squealed with joy.
"Oh, Mia, I know how hard you've worked all these years, I'm so happy for you. How 'bout as an added reward, I take you out for shopping and pampering? Please, I know how you feel about stuff like this, but you really do deserve this." Her mother finished her sentence rather grudgingly, knowing that Hermione probably would just say no to her offer.
To her surprised her daughter nodded her head, just thinking that with the new No-Uniform dress code, she could really use a new selection of clothes.
"Yea mom, I think that this time, I'm going to take you up on your offer, and go shopping and do all the hair and stuff." Hermione stated rather enthusiastically.
"Okay, how about in and hour we get going." Said Anne Granger, excited that her beautiful daughter finally wanted to do girly things with her. With that said, her mother left the room, to go and get ready for the day she had waited to spend with Hermione for a long time.
Anne and Richard Granger had always worried about how Hermione had never really gotten into "girly" things as a child. She never really had time, with all the schoolwork she immersed herself into. Hermione had made friends with the boys and girls a grade higher and had always managed to convince them to give them an extra copy of their homework. Eventually the school realized what was going on, and they, and the Grangers, decided Hermione should move up a grade in school. She just loved learning. This didn't stop the Grangers from worrying over social development. However, Hermione still was able to make friends quite easily. She still hung out with them in the summers away from her second home, the Hogwarts Castle. Still, Mrs. Granger had always wished that she and Hermione would be able to bond, by spending her husband's money.
To say that Hermione Elyzabeth Granger was an ugly girl would be untrue. But, Hermione, in all her studying, had never taken the time to polish herself the way that other girls her age had. Behind the frazzled hair, and the school uniform, that would thankfully be never adorning her body ever again, Hermione Granger had truly become a woman. Thanks to Malfoy, her teeth were no longer a problem in her appearance.
Hermione Pov
Wow, I'm Head Girl, and we aren't going to have to wear uniforms.
Finally you are going to be able to show off your damned shape.
I do not have a shape. And watch your mouth.
Yes you do, and seriously Hermione, with all the changes going on, you should let yourself out, stop hiding who you are.
You're wrong about the shape, but you're right, I should stop holding back, it's my last year after all.
About damned time, if I do say so myself.
End Pov
Hermione walked into her bathroom to take a shower. While in the shower she thought about who would be the Head Boy. The first thought that came to her head was Draco Malfoy, her long time enemy. The word 'mudblood' no longer affected her, unless it was coming out of his mouth. For as long as she could remember, Draco Lucius Malfoy had managed to take a place in her heart, and nothing she did could effectively remove him from his place there. She found herself wondering if maybe they could ever be together, since they would have to work together all year if he became Head Boy. Long ago, Hermione had figured out that it basically was impossible for anything to progress other than the passionate hate they had for each other. If only he knew how thin the line could be between love and hate. Hermione had realized that the more she had formerly hated him had only fueled her attraction to him.
After her shower, Hermione walked over to her closet. She found a dress that she had bought to please her mother and had worn once, and decided that this would be the best time to wear it again. It was a cute little sundress that her mother had insisted she by for a social function at someone's house. Hermione tried to slightly tame her hair, and did a good job at it. But it was still fairly frazzled and untamed. She thought about wearing makeup as she looked over her vanity table, but thoughts of the last time she wore it, last summer, came back to her.
Flashback
Hermione was nervous, and everyone could tell. She was at a beach party with her friends, including her muggle crush, Eric. She had tried to make her hair nice, but to no anvil. She had also tried to apply the makeup that her mother had left on the vanity table when she heard about the get together. She had lined her eyes too heavily, and her mascara had gone all funny. Her blush hadn't been smoothed into her cheeks very well, and to say the least, the very least, she looked bad. Her friends could bring themselves to tell her how she had looked, since she had obviously tried to put time into herself for once in her life.
Eric walked up and asked her if she would like to go for a walk on the beach. She quickly said yes.
While they were walking, not much was said. Eric looked bored and Hermione was so nervous. She also didn't notice the not so nice looks he was giving her since she was so excited. Eric abruptly stopped walking and Hermione walked a few paces before noticing that he had stopped walking. She turned around and asked him why he had stopped walking. He just looked at her, before grabbing her and kissing her. He jammed his tongue into her mouth. A camera flash went off. She soon heard cheering all around. She pushed Eric off of her, and saw all of his friends' heads from behind a nearby boulder. She looked at him. He had a smirk on his face and was soon giving all his friends high fives. She realized that the whole thing had been a dare.
"How does it feel to know that you're the ugliest girl ever Granger?"
"Wow, Granger, I can't believe you fell for that."
Hermione ran off crying, back to her friends. But was unable to tell them what had happened through her tears. They had to ask one of the cruel friends of Eric who had witnessed the incident. This only made Hermione cry even more. Her friends quickly left the party, and managed to make her feel better. Though, they were never able to make her forget what happened that day.
End
Flashback
No, Hermione had not forgotten that night, and it had fueled both her crush on Draco Malfoy, and her dislike for girly things. No, she wouldn't be applying her own makeup today. She would however, let herself look as good as possible for Draco Malfoy. She wanted him to forget that her blood wasn't magical like his. She wanted no one to know who she was, at first at least. She wanted to look damn good; she knew that she truly deserved it.
Slipping on her sandals, Hermione made her way downstairs, making a vow to herself, to get Draco Malfoy, no matter what it takes. After all, getting the most attractive man in Hogwarts would defiantly be the icing on the cake to end her perfect 7 years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
So what do you think! Please be gentle, this is my first fanfic. I really thought a lot about this story, before putting my ideas down into my computer. I know that people probably think that this will be like any other Draco/Hermione with a makeover fic. But it's really going to be different. At least that is what the plan is; I'm not sure how certain I can be, since this is only the first chapter. Anyone with input and constructive criticism please, leave a review. And if anyone out there would like to be my beta reader, it would be appreciated. Just leave a review saying that you'll be my beta, with an email I can send the chapters to so you can go over them. I find that with another person reading them, I do a better job. Thanks in advance everyone. Love you all. I can't wait to hear from you all, and read your advice.
