CHAPTER 2

Once they got to Hogwarts they all settled down at their tables for the Welcome Back feast. As soon as all the first years were sorted and Dumbledore made his speech the food appeared and they all started to eat.

"So," Angelina said. "Don't you want to even get a look at Cedric?"

"What good is it going to do for me to look at something I can never have," Ariana said. "I know what he looks like anyway."

"Just look at him," Alicia said. "You see the Hufflepuffs," she added and Ariana looked up. "Ok all the way on the end closest to the doors, he's sitting with his friends," she added and Ariana looked over and saw a Cedric sitting at the end of the table. Yeah he's hot.

"Wow!" she sighed. "He has gotten better looking over the summer," Ariana added. "What is a guy like that going to want with me?"

"Any guy would be lucky to have you," Angelina said. "Just because Oliver is to stupid to realize it doesn't mean you can't move on,"

"There is nothing to move on from," Ariana said. "Maybe you two should realize that no guy wants to be with me and maybe I like it that way," she added and stood up and left the Great Hall.

Ariana went up to her room and laid on her bed. She thought about what her friends had said to her this afternoon. Did they really think she was pretty? She couldn't see what they saw. She sat up and walked over to the mirror and looked in it. She ran her fingers through her curly blonde hair. Her bright blue eyes stared back at her and she sighed. She was still looking in the mirror when Angelina and Alicia walked in.

"What are you doing?" Alicia asked.

"Trying to see what you guys say you see when you look at me," Ariana said. "I don't see it."

"Its because you don't believe what we say," Angelina said. "But you will," she added. "We're going to start tomorrow with your new look, well not exactly a new look but trying to make you feel better about yourself," she added.

"If you think it'll help," Ariana sighed.

"It will," Alicia said.

The next morning Ariana was in bed when she felt someone shake her.

"Get up Ariana," Angelina said. "Its time to get up,"

"What?" she asked sitting up.

"Go get a shower, we'll be ready to help you get ready." Angelina said.

"Its just class, why do I need to look good." she asked.

"Because you need to feel good about yourself all the time not just when you're dressed up," Alicia said.

"Fine," Ariana said and she went to take a shower.

When she returned Angelina and Alicia sat her down and fixed her hair. They straightened it out.

"Your hair looks really good straight," Alicia said. "Not that it doesn't look good curly because it does. Just so you know straight is an option,"

"Thanks," she sighed.

"Make-up," Angelina said.

"For classes," she said.

"Yep," Angelina said. "Stay still." A few minutes later she was done.

"Come look," Angelina said and led her to the mirror. "What do you think?"

Ariana ran her hands through her hair which was now straight and the way Angelina did her make up made her blue eyes stand out even more.

"Thanks guys, it looks really good," she said.

"Now lets go to breakfast." Alicia said and they left.

When she sat down at the table Fred and George looked over at her.

"You do something different with your hair?" George asked.

"Its straight," Ariana said.

"It looks good," Fred said. "You look nice this morning."

"Thanks," Ariana said smiling.

They were about halfway through breakfast when Oliver joined them.

"Hey guys, we'll be staring Quidditch practices earlier this year," Oliver said.

"Define earlier," Angelina said.

"Next weekend," he said. "We'll have this week free."

"That is early Oliver," George groaned.

"This is our year to win," Oliver said banging his fist on the table.

"You don't have to be so dramatic Oliver," Ariana said. "Its not like we don't want to win," she added and Oliver looked over at her.

"Ariana," he said as his eyes looked her up and down.

"Yeah," she said.

"You look different," Oliver said.

"So." she said as Oliver continued to stare at her.

"Anyway," Oliver said tearing his eyes away. "I just wanted to let you know," he added and stood up taking one more look at Ariana before walking away.

"Did you see how he was looking at you? Angelina asked smiling.

"What?" Ariana asked.

"He liked what he saw," Alicia told her.

"That's crazy," Ariana said.

"No its not," Fred told her. "We saw it to."

"Yeah, Oliver definitely was liking what he saw when he looked at you," George said.

"Whatever," she said rolling her eyes.

At lunch it was much the same way. Oliver actually sat by her.

"What is it Oliver?" Ariana asked.

"You look so different," he said and Ariana rolled her eyes.

Throughout the week Angelina and Alicia kept fixing her hair and make-up. Oliver wasn't the only guy noticing either. Other guys in her own house and other houses were looking at her as well. It seemed a bit ridiculous to Ariana at least that all it took to get noticed was make-up and a different hair style.

The weekend finally arrived and Angelina and Alicia were determined for Ariana to look great. She could wear her normal clothes instead of robes and a school uniform. So Saturday morning Angelina and Alicia fixed her hair and make-up and then picked out a pair of jeans that hung low on her hips and tight fitting purple shirt.

"Are you sure about this?" Ariana asked looking in the mirror.

"You look amazing," Angelina said. "Lets go have breakfast," she added.

"Hold on," she said. "I'm going to grab my book so I can go outside after breakfast." she added and grabbed a book that was by her bed and followed Angelina and Alicia to breakfast.

The three of them walked into the Great Hall and took their seats.

"Ariana," George said and she looked up.

"Morning guys," she said looking across at Fred and George.

"Oliver seems to be interested in you," Fred said.

"Why do you say that?" she asked.

"He asked about you last night," George said. "If you had a boyfriend."

"No way!" Ariana said shaking her head.

"I think he might like you," Fred said.

"Why because I changed the way I looked," Ariana said.

"I'm sure that's not it," Angelina said.

'It doesn't even matter." Ariana sighed.
