I don't own Harry Potter. Thanks for the reviews.

Hermione walked down the stairs quietly and looked up when Blaise cleared his throat. He smiled at her. "Hello, Hermione." He said. "I made breakfast." She looked down at the plates suspiciously. "Okay, I asked the house elves to make it, but the thought counts right?" He asked. She laughed and walked over to him.

"Why?" she asked. He shrugged.

"It's an apology." He told her.

"I already forgave you."

"Then it's a 'please have breakfast with me, beautiful person' thing" he told her cheekily.

She frowned."I'm not beautiful."

Blaise felt his heart clench for the girl. She was insecure? The girl who helped Harry Potter tackle Voldemort down to his defeat? Blaise grimaced. "You don't think you're beautiful?"

"Not at all!" She said with an unconvincing laugh. "Why would all the boys be ignoring me if I was?" She made to walk to the door, but he grabbed her hand. She looked back at him. He was staring at her with a serious look in his eyes.

"Don't let anything make you think different, Hermione Granger, because you're gorgeous." Okay, so that was a lie. He'd never thought she was that attractive before. She of course, did look quite beautiful this year, but not as much as the other girls. Hermione blushed.

"Stop that," she told him quietly.

"I'm not doing anything but telling the truth! Is that what you want me to stop? Okay then. Hermione Granger, you are the ugliest person I've ever seen," She laughed and he smiled at her. "Come on, have breakfast with me." She nodded before she cursed silently.

"I'm sorry, Blaise, but I promised Dean that I would help him with something this morning"

"Dean?" he asked stiffly. "Who's Dean?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care?"

"I don't!" He said crossly. "Go on. Go snog- I mean- talk to Dean."

Hermione gave him an odd look. "You're acting like a jealous boyfriend." She stated. "I'll see you later, Zabini." When he was sure she was gone, Blaise punched the table. Great. Competition. Now what was he going to do? He sighed and picked his bag up. There was no way in hell that he was going to loose his money and his Firebolt 3000 to Draco Malfoy.

She tapped her quill softly as she thought of what to write. Hermione put her quill down. She looked around and watched Ron hug Luna tightly. Harry had Ginny's head resting on his lap and they were talking animatedly. She sighed and smoothed her hair back. She wasn't that bad looking was she? Maybe Blaise was being serious when he said those things to her.

She stood unnoticeably and walked to the bathroom. She examined herself slowly and frowned. Her hair wasn't bushy anymore. It was curly, yes, but it wasn't out of control. Her chocolate eyes sparkled and the sun her skin tanned over the years. With help from her dentist parents, her teeth were white and as perfect as they could be. Hermione quickly shrugged her robe off and looked down at the body she was hiding. Her chest was filled and her waist curved lightly. When wearing regular muggle shirts, her slender stomach seemed to bring out her breasts even more. Hermione rubbed her cheek in exasperation. "So if I look like Ginny and all the other girls, why don't I have a boyfriend?" she whined in a whisper.

"Hermione?" She heard Harry call. "Hey, Hermione! Where are you?" She rolled her eyes and picked her robe up. She walked out, closing her eyes.

"Yea, yea I'm here. What's the…why is everyone staring at me like that?" She asked. Ginny was gaping at her. She let out a low whistle.

"Hermione, what have you been hiding from us?" She said with a laugh. She pushed Harry away and walked to her friend. Hermione suddenly realized what they were looking at. She gasped and tried to put her robe on, but Ginny pulled it away. "Don't you dare! When did you get this body, Mione?" She shrugged.

"I don't know. It just developed. It's not like I bought it"

Ginny grinned. "You've been keeping this beautiful girl away from the world. Do you know how many boys would be mooning over you?" Ginny glanced at the others and found Ron and Harry staring at the girl's chest. She cleared her throat and the two closed their mouths.

"Mione," Harry said slowly. "Put your robe on."

"What? Why?" She asked.

"Because your… they're huge and we really don't want to beat anyone up right now!" Ron finished for him. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"No. It's a Saturday and I think I'll stay in my outfit." She told them confidently.

Ron smirked. "Well it's time for dinner. Where all of the school is going to see you."

Her eyes widened. "Well maybe I'll just put the robe on and-"Luna and Ginny jumped up and grabbed her arms. "Hey!"

"You are going to go down there and show the world just what you're made of, Hermione Granger." Luna told her. "If we're lucky we won't run into any nargles on the way."

"No! Stop! Please, no one has to see me like this!"

"Like what, Hermione?" Ginny asked in irritation as the portrait swung open and the dragged her to the stairs. "Like the beautiful woman you are?"

"But this is too revealing." Hermione knew that it wasn't as bad as she was making it seem. Her dark jeans were hugging her hips while her blood red top clung to her chest desperately. Sure it wasnt showing much, but the shirt had a tendancy to ride up and a bit of clevage was showing as well. She just didn't need everyone gaping at her. "It's scandalous, is what it is!"

"I can't believe you just used the word scandalous" Ginny told her. Ron and Harry were behind them, protesting loudly, but it was too late. Ginny and Luna threw the girl into the doors, making the people inside turn in surprise.

Blaise rubbed his temple in thought. How was he going to get the stuck up, no life, strict, up tight Hermione Granger to fall for him? He shook his head and brought his fork to his mouth. He bit the food but froze when he heard everyone gasp when the doors flew open. He looked up slowly and saw Hermione in an outfit he never thought she would wear. Her jeans hugged her hips while her shirt….oh Merlin. His jaw dropped as he watched her hold her head high, yet unconfidently, and march to her seat. She threw herself on the bench angrily, and when Looney Lovegood and Ginny Weasel came in, she gave them an angry look. "Granger!" Blaise heard Professor Snape yell.

----

Hermione looked around in shock as everyone stared at her. She looked from face to face in complete dismay, everyone staring at her bosoms. She mustered up all the courage she could and walked to the Gryffindor table quietly. She noticed girls eyeing her in envy and boys looking at her in desire. "Damn Hermione," Seamus said with a flirtatious smile. "Where'd you get those?"

Hermione blushed. She opened her mouth to retort angrily but a call from her guardian stopped her. "Granger!" Hermione closed her eyes in absolute horror. Severus! The man she looked at like a brother, besides Remus, Sirius and her friends, saw her in this stupid outfit she didn't even want to wear! He was going to kill her!

She looked at Ginny and Luna. "Great! Now he's going to think this is my idea!" She whispered. The two gave her sheepish smiles.

"Granger! Up! Now!" The potions master shouted behind her. Hermione shot up and turned quickly. Dumbledore was laying a restraining hand on Severus' shoulder. "Headmaster, there has to be some kind of dress code violation that she is defying!"

"Actually, she isn't, Severus" Minerva said from the table with complete amusement.

"Well twenty points off for making a scene by flying through the doors like that!"

"Making a scene?!" Hermione cried. "I almost fell on my face! What are you talking about?!"

"How dare you talk back to me! I am you're professor! Twenty points off!"

She glared at him. "Oh come on, Professor, it isn't even that much skin"

"And thirty more. My office now!"

She growled in anger before stomping out of the Great Hall, Severus following her.

Blaise and Draco looked at each other before leaping out of their seats and running after the two. They shoved Potter and Weasley out of their way and ran down to the dungeons. Panting as quietly as they could, they leaned their ears on the door and listened. "Damnit," Blaise cursed. "He put a silencing spell. Draco took his wand out and whispered a spell. Suddenly, they were both able to hear the two shouting.
"How dare you talk back to me, Hermione Granger! Don't you have some kind of respect?!"

"It wasn't my idea in the first place! I was going to put my robes on, but Ginny and Luna dragged me down to the Great Hall, I swear! Merlin!"

"Yet you still have the audacity to yell at me?! How dare you!" Severus shouted, smacking his hands on the desk.

"Well it was ridiculous! Look at me, Severus! I'm a woman now! Okay? Damnit, I was a woman when you took me in when last year!"

"You're not a woman, Hermione, you're still a child!"

Hermione moaned in exasperation. She glared at the man. "What is the problem?! It was a little skin!" she shouted. She may not have wanted to go down like that, but this was a bit absurd. He over reacted up in the Great Hall and he's still over reacting in the office. "The outfit isn't that bad!"

"Fine," Severus sneered. "But if you get raped by someone in the school because of your 'not so bad' outfits, don't come sniffling to me and wasting my time!" Hermione stood in complete shock. Hurt drenched her body as regret flashed across Severus' eyes. "Hermione-" She smacked him across the face before he could finish a sentence.

She sobbed, tears flooding down her cheeks. "I hope you're happy, Severus Snape!" She cried. "You're such a complete and utter fool! I can't believe I thought you could actually change!" She threw the door open and gasped when Blaise and Draco stood there with guilty and shocked looks.

"Hermione…" Blaise started, but the girl ran down the halls before any of them could say anything else. The two turned to the man in the room.

"Gee, godfather," Draco drawled sarcastically. "Is there anything you want to tell us?" Severus growled and slammed the door in their faces.

----

Ginny gasped when Hermione fell into the room crying. Ron and Harry stood quickly and picked her up off of the floor. "He's absolutely horrid!" Hermione choked out.

"What did he do sweetheart?" Ginny asked softly. Ron and Harry brought her to the bed and sat next to her while Ginny grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. Hermione took a shuddering breath before telling them of what happened in Severus' office.
