Hermione's Pov:
The past:
Anger And hurt, were the emotions that were pumping through My veins in that moment. I could feel the tears stinging the backs of my eyes. But i was still too shocked at what i saw to let them fall. There he was, shoving that blonde tart up against the wall. His hands were running up her skirt. They were kissing so loudly and frantically, not to mention passionately. There stood Hermione Granger's boyfriend, Ronald Weasley, attacking the face and body, of Lavender Brown. And I was there witnessing it all. He told me i wasn't wild enough and i was ugly. But he never dumped me. So i stood there watching him cheat on me with Gryffindor's whore.
So I ran. I ran all the way to the frozen black lake-
"AHHH!" I screamed and started panting. I woke up. Crying. That's the third time tonight that i woke up with that nightmare, The nightmare that showed me i was unwanted, The nightmare that was true.I jumped out of my bed and fell onto the floor. Immediately after i woke, I could hear Harry and Ginny calling my name. Why couldn't i scream quietly?!Just ignore them Act like you can't even hear them. I got up and flung myself back down on my bed. Thank god i asked for a private room for my studies.
I started to think.Why?! Why would he do this to me?! After everything we've been through together. All the memories, all of the history! I can't believe he would do this! All I've ever tried to do was make him happy, I've been there for him, stuck up for him, helped him with his homework countless times, and he ACTUALLY has the nerve to cheat on me?! With HER?!
Deep in my thought i never noticed Ginny enter the room until she asked me if i was ok and who upset me. Wait a minute. She should know. The whole school knows! Why was she faking it? I bet she hates me like Ron does! It makes sense! "Nothing Gin don't worry" When Ginny left i went back to thinking. I'm just a quiet little Know-It-All bookworm who is obsessed with homework and good grades. I don't dress all sexy, or wear make up and do my hair. Maybe that's why he cheated on me. Because i'm ugly. And i know i am! I walked towards the mirror and stared. My eyes were red and puffy. My hair was everywhere. My face was blotchy and covered in teeth were yellowing and i still had those horrid front teeth.
I had a sudden thought, Just because i was at hogwarts to study didn't mean i had to ignore my appearance. I thought it stupid to waste time to make myself look pretty because i was at school which was way more important. I could easily enough use magic to improve my appearance. I was often self conscious and almost never had a good thought about myself. These thoughts allowed me to change my viewpoint and they gave me a way to feel better about myself.
I grabbed my wand and pointed it towards my head and muttered countless spells. My hair straightened out till it reached the small of my back. I banished its frizziness for good, If i want curly hair i could always use a curler or a spell. I pointed my wand at a rubber on my desk and transfigured it into eye drops which i enhanced with magic and applied to my redness and puffiness went almost instantly. Next i waved my wand and said a string of long complicated words and my blotchiness started to disappear along with the pimples. I smiled slowly then winced as i saw my teeth, My parents were gonna kill me. Well... What they didn't know couldn't hurt them right? So i made my teeth all the same size and made them a shiny pearl white colour. I grinned widely and glanced to my desk where i saw a unused makeup bag that Ginny gave me for my birthday. It couldn't hurt could it? I applied some Black eyeliner and did a silver smokey eye, But something missing so i applied a pale pink lipstick. Looking at the watch that was on my wrist i realised i should go to breakfast so i cast a spell to keep my makeup on and grabbed my bag after putting on my uniform and left my room.
I felt nervous, i didn't want to know what everybody would say. But my appearance shouldn't matter to anybody but myself so i kept my head up high and started to walk to the great hall.
