Hermione criss-crossed, did over and unders, doubles and triples, and even enchanted two long ropes to swing themselves while she did double dutch with a n extra skipping rope. Despite her efforts to stay on track, the fluoro pink skipping ropes kept distracting her.

The day after, some girls were trying out for the Aerobics Squad. A girl with emerald green eyes and a darker shade of chocolate brown hair in a loose bun, the right number of soft curls hang in her pale face was kicking the air, finally falling silent to the grass as the music ended (Because of You by Kelly Clarkson, Dumbledore's choice).

Hermione rushed to the notice board as two pink pieces of parchment appeared on it.

"Yes! Yes! I got in!" she pulled Ron into a rib-breaking hug much like Hagrid's.

"Maybe it's Hagrid with polyjuice potion and transformed into Hermione." Whispered Ron to Harry.

The brown haired girl walked over to the notice board, and looked the other notice up and down before returning to her friends, who congratulated her.

"Well done Sophie!"

Hermione yawned and headed back to the dormitories, but poked her head back through the door to tell Harry and Ron that she was going to bed.

"It's only 7:30!" said Ron.

"Neigh Ron." Replied Harry dully, steering Ron back into an armchair, before being deafened by Dumbledore's new guitar, which made an ear-splitting noise.

"Oof! What the-"

"Ow!"

"Get out of m'way Mudblood!" Malfoy poked out his tongue at Hermione.

"Shut up, ferret!" Hermione retorted.

"You have no right to speak to me like that Mudblood!"

"Malfoy, shove off." Apparently Sophie happened to walk by, and unable to stand the bickering, she decided that it was fairer to help Hermione.

"Sorry." Surprisingly, Malfoy knew some manners! Hermione never thought that a single polite word will appear in Malfoy's dictionary.

Hermione turned to say thanks, only to discover that Sophie had already walked off to Charms.

Sophie hurried through a pink door, apologizing to Flitwick that she was late. Picking up a pink cushion to summon, she sat on a stool and began muttering the charm. The pink cushion just wouldn't budge. There was a knock on the door, and a lady was standing in the doorway, before announcing that aerobics practice was now on and any students that are in the squad should come with her.

"Yesssss." Sophie hissed silently, packing away her belongings a scurrying off behind this woman.

"Hello, my name is Jess Hayes (I don't own Jess Hayes 'cuz she's the Aerobic coach at my school) and I will be your Aerobics coach, you will have training the same time every week."

"Yes, no more Charms!"

"Pardon?"

"Nothing."

Jess led Sophie into the great hall, where the five tables have disappeared, and the Jump Rope team was practicing a routine with bright pink skipping ropes in a corner. In the opposite corner, the rest of the Aerobic Squad was pumping along to some new release muggle music called Believe Again by someone like, Diana Gurly or something (A/N: It's meant to be Delta Goodrem by the way, but Dumbledore being a wizard, didn't label the cassette properly, or it might be because Sophie couldn't see properly as to the fact that the label was really pink).

"One two three four five six seven…" Jess was practically screaming the rhythm to the girls.

Face dripping with sweat, Hermione and Sophie accompanied each other to the prefects' bathroom to have a bath. It never occurred to Hermione before when she previously visited the prefects' bathroom, but she was not a prefect! Nor was Sophie, but most people use the prefects' bathroom, even the third years.

There was a lot of difference from Hermione's last visit: the candles on the chandelier were burning pink fire, and the pink smoke smelt of a sick strawberry flavor. There were bottles of muggle shampoo – Smackers, with came in watermelon and strawberry smells, but never actually cleans one's hair (honest, it's the shampoo I got the inspiration from! It sucks, so don't buy it 'cuz it just tangles your hair! It also cost me some bucks for such a small bottle of shampoo!). There were also rose petals floating in the hot water, and the stained glass was pink too! Muggle music was playing in the background softly out of nowhere. A piece of water proof parchment was on the edge of the large pool, and it read 'rose petals make a bath relaxing'. The pair sighed, how could one relax in a place like this?

"I'm using the bathroom in my dormitory! At least there's a bar of candy soap (mine as well! I got it at the Mothers' Day Stall, but I decided to get another one, so I kept the pack with the soap for myself. It's so through cream, with glittery red bits at the top that made the soap look like a giant lolly) that I hid in the secret wooden panel (I was reading a book to my buddy, and it was about a girl who had a room, which had a wooden panel that opens so you can hide stuff in it), you know, the secret one?" Sophie explained patiently as she gathered up her clean clothes.

"Damn it! I should have done the same! I'll write to mum and dad and ask them to send me some soap and shampoo. Proper ones!" replied Hermione unhappily.

"For the meantime you can borrow mine if you want!"

"Thanks!"

Hermione attempted to flop over her bed, but got caught in the numerous pink laces draping lazily over her pink bed. Anger filled her. "I've had enough, that's it! This room looks like Umbridge's office! And it needs a makeover!"

Hermione paced around the room, muttering incantations that returned the dormitory into its normal state.

Finally, she cleared out the cupboard hidden by a finely carved wooden panel of crumpled up notes Pavarti and Lavender used to pass around during class.

Now this looked more like a Gryffindor's dormitory than a girly muggle girl's bedroom! Hermione thought, wait, this needs a bit of finishing touch… she conjured a large Gryffindor banner that had additional tiny writing at the bottom: the non-pink girls!

And one more, Hermione added a concealing charm, so only the inhabitants of this dormitory can see the difference Hermione just made.

Hermione was power walking up to the owlery, her letter pleading for her parents to get her some non-pink bath products in one hand, and tucking her lose hair behind her ear. When she turned the corner, Hermione bumped into the person she least wanted to bump into – Malferret the most slimy living ferret on Earth, Malfoy. But to her surprise, Malfoy was stowing away a about a zillion bars of blue soap into his robes.

Hermione was just about to exclaim loudly at Malfoy's soap, but he was quicker.

"Bet you've got a letter pleading muuuuuuuurmmy to send you some non-pink items! Granger, look, we both don't wanna get caught doing the under-ground non-pink society business, so I'll shut up about it if you do the same. We're in the same boat." He snarled.

"Deal. Non-pink society? What on Earth is –"

"Haven't you heard of the non-pink society? That Sarah or Sophie Gyffindor started it up yesterday, open to all houses. Just against the stupid pink rules. I'm getting the supply of soap here, so shut up about it."

" 'kay." Hermione had no choice but to obey. Dealing with foul creatures like Malfoy was better than facing an angry McGonnagal making her write the pink rules a hundred times. But why hadn't Sophie told her about the non-pink society? They were friends after all.
