Saturday:

Hermione stepped into the crowed book store and her eyes gazed around until they fell on a tall, lanky, freckled red haired boy. Grinning she strolled over and walked up behind him and the black haired boy standing next to him. Tapping the raven haired boy on the shoulder, she said

"Excuse me; may I have your autograph?"

Spinning around the boy saw who it was and gave her a bear hug and lifted her up to spin her around. When she was put down, she was seized in another bone crushing hug by the red head.

"Hey Ron?" She said with the air being squeezed from her lungs, "There is a person here."

When she was let go she stepped back to look at them.

"Ron, you grew again!" She stated in despair.

"Yep, I'm now 6'1." He said proudly.

Harry joined in.

Throwing his arm over Hermione's shoulder he said

"Our little boy's growing up."

"Quit teasing me." Ron said in a little girl voice (which actually was rather scary because he did it so well.)

Harry then led the way to the door and throwing his arm out said to his best friends,

"Shall we?"

LATER THAT VERY SAME DAY:

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny (she had joined up about an hour after they met), stopped in at Oliver's wand place to have their wands checked over for the upcoming school year.

Hermione handed Oliver her wand and then Ginny tapped her on the shoulder, "Hermione, lets go to the new store that opened on the corner, just us girls though, I don't think the boys will like it." Ginny whispered in her ear.

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"I never got a chance to give you your birthday present last year remember?"

"You don't need to get me a present Ginny." Hermione told her friend with a small smile.

"But I want to." The small petite red head insisted.

"All right."

Seeing the devilish grin that appeared on Ginny's face made Hermione instantly regret saying those words.
Getting her wand back from Oliver, she turned and told Ron and Harry where they were going, and then Ginny and Hermione exited the shop and walked down the street.

Walking over to the store on the corner, Hermione looked up at the name of the place they were entering and stopped short.

"Heartbreakers?" She asked Ginny in a disbelieving tone.

"Yep." Was Ginny's reply.

Ginny grabbed hold of Hermione's arm and pulled her inside the store.

A woman with short blond hair wearing outlandish clothes came over to help.

"Hi, my name is Chris, is there anything I can do to help?" She asked smiling.

"Yes," Ginny replied, "We have an appointment for two under Weasly."

"An appointment?" Squeaked Hermione, already dreading the answer.

Ignoring Hermione, Ginny followed Chris into the back of the store. Giving Hermione little choice but to follow her seeing that Ginny was attached to her arm.

Going into the back, they sat down on two chairs and Ginny gave the woman a list of things to be done.

Then Ginny asked for a blindfold.

"Why do you want a blind fold?" Hermione asked fearfully.

"Shush." Came the answer.

Ginny told Chris to put it on Hermione, and when Hermione protested, Ginny leaned over and said,

"Hermione this is my birthday present for you and for me, so please, please get a makeover with me?" Ginny asked with a pouting face on.

"Hermione sighed and said, "Fine."

Ginny jumped off the chair she was in and gave Hermione a hug, then ran back to the chair and told Chris,

"Do whatever will look best."

"Wait," Hermione said," one rule, no cutting any more than two inches off my hair."

"Agreed." Ginny replied giggling, "Lets get started!"

Settling down in her chair, Hermione allowed the half of a blindfold to be placed on her, and then relaxed in the chair.

TWO HOURS LATER:

Hermione stirred from her short nap and sat up as she heard Ginny nearly scream out, "Won't she be surprised!"

Lifting up her head, Hermione took off the blindfold and looked into the mirror…
