Recap:
"Draco Malfoy you say? I say, it's about time we had Witches and a Wizard come here." She clapped her hands together and all of the hairdressers closed blinds and flipped the sign that said 'closed' so that it faced outwards.
Chapter 4: A New Look and Mystery Gas
Hermione opened and closed her mouth a few times before she could muster up her voice enough to speak.
"So, you work on Witches and Wizards also?" Apparently Ginny and Draco were also in the same state, confusion.
"Yes, we were originally a Muggle shop but I had someone come in here and accidentally blew up one of our chairs. See that's why I hear you should never place a wand in you back pocket." The lady chuckled and stood up. She approached them and stuck her hand out. "By the way my name is Margaret and I will help you with anything that you need."
"Well Margaret, I would like these two ladies to have a full makeover." Draco smiled and shook the lady's hand.
"I am honored to serve you three. Please come with me and I will take care of everything." She guided the three to the back part of the salon and sat them down in the chairs that were attached to sinks. All three of them leaned back and placed their heads in the crook of the sink's edge.
"Make sure your wands are in your front pocket and not your back! Now Jackie, you take Hermione, I'll take Draco, and Jason, you take Ginny. Let's get to work people!"
"Can you make my hair black with purple highlights? Also make it straight? Is that possible? Oh, how about if it's permanent?" Hermione rambled on and on with excitement. Jackie chuckled at the girl's ability to chat up a storm.
"Hermione, calm down, we will work on it when we get to that point, but right now let's just work on washing it." Jackie cracked a grin and started up the hose.
Soon the three teenagers were standing up from the sinks, towels wrapped around their heads like a turban. Draco grinned at the girls and literally skipped around the room for a few seconds chanting then starting acting for real.
"I'm Professor Quirrell! Oh No! I'm being possessed by a wicked old man. Help Me! I'm melting, I'm melting!" He collapsed at the floor, towel askew on his head and his hands patting at his face. Hermione and Ginny were bent over and holding onto each other from laughing so hard. Hermione gave him credit for quoting the Wizard of Oz, but she wondered how he knew about that movie. The salon workers stared at Draco as if he was insane. He stood up and bowed forward enough so that the towel slipped right off his head. His platinum blond hair stood up in all directions, looking like he was hit by a bolt of lighting. This caused everyone in the room to continue their fit of laughter or just to join people in laughing. Draco laughed as he stood upwards, placing the towel over his shoulder. "Now where do I sit?"
Hermione, Ginny, and Draco were guided to random chairs in the salon. Their respective hairdressers got to work with cutting, dying, highlighting and anything else that needed to be done. Jackie poked and prodded a frazzled Hermione who wasn't expecting this much work to be done for the makeover. Finally Jackie laid the chair back slightly so that Hermione could relax and close her eyes. Se jumped at the sudden placement of a hot sticky substance. The hairdresser placed a piece of cloth over the spot above her eye and pulled.
Hermione shot open her eyes and screamed from the surprise. Behind her she could slightly see Ginny spring up from the chair at her outburst. Glancing awkwardly at Draco, she could hear him cussing up a storm. Draco was whacked in the side of the head by a pair of scissors and he stopped. Hermione just shook her head and laughed. She could feel Draco's glare at her from the mirror. His reflection from the other mirror reflected off hers. She smiled at him innocently and laughed. His glare sharpened then he laughed along with her. Ginny could see the interaction between them and shook her head at the thick headedness of the two.
After many waxings, and other painful things, all three of them were ready to see their new looks. After Hermione's eyebrow waxing, the salon workers covered all the mirrors. The three were blindfolded by the hands of their hairdressers and guided to the nearest mirror. With the help of the salon workers, the large mirror was uncovered. The three hairdressers counted to three and lifted heir hands. Gasps and a few choice words were heard in their surprise. Draco was hit in the back of the head again, but this time by Hermione.
Hermione glanced at herself I awe. Her hair was dyed auburn red with black and purple streaks throughout the strands. Her eyebrows were plucked and waxed to frame her eyes perfectly. Nails were trimmed slightly and had fake nails glued over top. They were painted purple with black trims. Hermione couldn't believe the difference in her looks when her hair was permanently straight and dyed.
Ginny looked in at herself and smirked. Although her hair was a little shorter and shaped it was the same color as before. The only exception was that it supported light pink highlights. Her eyes and facial features were the same and her eyebrows slightly thinner with a few plucks. It had hurt but she was used to the waxing and plucking so it didn't bother her too much. Ginny put her hand in front of her face and examined her nails. They had been shaped and painted a hot pink this time. All in all she loved her new look.
Draco stared both girls in amazement, they looked beautiful in his eyes and surely in the eyes of any other male teenager. His looks didn't change much. His hair was slightly shorter in length. It hung lazily around his face and in his eyes. Draco flipped it away from his face and continued to watch the girl model themselves in the mirror.
"This is amazing! Thanks you Jackie!" Hermione hugged the woman that stood behind her and grinned at everyone else.
"I agree with Mia, thank you for everything." Ginny hugged Jason with enthusiasm and blushed when she pulled away. Hermione laughed from beside her.
"Alright, alright, settle own you two. We still have a lot of work to do." Draco hugged Margaret and walked over to the girls, pushing them forward to the counter. "Now, what do I owe you?"
"It's all on me. I had fun and make sure to tell your friends about us! We could always have some different type of company." Margaret smiled at the awestruck teens. A free makeover? Draco wouldn't settle for something this expensive for free. He took out his wallet and place 150 Pounds on the counter.
"Take it. It's the least I can do." Draco smiled at the girls and pulled them out the door, all three waving goodbye at the salon workers. Draco walked towards the cars with the girls in tow. They were lightly chatting abut their new looks. Glancing at his watch and noticed it was 7:30 in the night. He sighed and turned around to face the girls. He should be heading home, but he really didn't want to go anywhere near it.
"I should be heading home, but I don't want to. Hermione, would you mind if I stayed at your house tonight. I don't want to face father anytime soon." Draco smiled softly at the girls and glanced at Hermione for a reaction.
"You can come over anytime Draco, I just have to ask my parents. Come on, let's head back to house." Hermione walked to the driver's side of the car and got in. Ginny was right behind her and buckled in. Hermione smirked at Ginny and shot out of the parking lot as quickly as she had turned on the car. Draco seemed to slack behind for a few seconds before he sped up the car and pulled his right behind her car. Hermione reached for her iPod and plugged it in. Carefully placing it on the dashboard where a holder sat, she searched through it until she found the perfect song. She cranked up the volume and waited for the entrance. She stared to hum the beginning music but soon started singing along with it.
Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka nahmen
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die,
Let him never die,
Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka eleka,
What good is this chanting? Nessa, One question haunts and hurts No good deed goes unpunished
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
Doctor Dillamond,
Fiyero,
Fiyero!!
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!
Ginny stared at Hermione with wonder. She didn't know that Hermione could sing so beautifully. Ginny watched curiously as Hermione started to sing the next song that came on. She glanced at the iPod and saw that the song was called 'Time is Running out' by Muse. She watched as Hermione smiled and sang along with the tune. Ginny enjoyed this kind of music and wanted to hear more.
They were soon at Hermione's house, which surprised both Draco and Ginny. Ginny, even being her best friend, was surprised at the house that Hermione lived in. It was a small two story mansion that stood on top of a small hill. None of Hermione's friends had ever been to her house because they never got the chance to go. Hermione shook her head and laughed at the redhead's reaction to her house. Yes, it was something that anyone didn't expect from her. Hermione had told everyone that her parents were mere dentists but that was far from it. Their main jobs were as agents that worked for the royalty of England. Their cover jobs were as lawyers that were well known for defending ad winning all of their cases. Hermione had been lucky that no other muggleborns had come up to her thanking her parents for defending theirs in court.
Hermione pulled the car up the driveway and parked in their four car garage. Draco carefully pulled his up beside Hermione's. He glanced at the small sign that hung directly in front his car. "Guests. Now, that's weird sign to put up in their garage."
The three teens stepped out of the cars and glanced at each other. Hermione popped open the trunk and levitated Ginny's trunk to the door where it hovered. She walked over to the other two who were staring at the other car in the garage. Hermione smiled and explained to them what was going on.
"I know this is a shocker, but I something to tell you guys. Come with me and I'll take you to the living room to explain what's going on." Hermione took another glance at her parent's car. It was a present from the royal family for saving their son's life. A piece of mail had come and it was sent to them for testing. Her parents took it to the hidden lab that was in a small section of the basement. Hermione opened the door to the hallway that lead to the actual house. She closed the garage doors and motioned for the two teens to step inside. Hermione kept walking, forgetting that Draco and Ginny were there behind her. Soon alarms went off and Hermione smacked herself in the forehead. She quickly turned around and listened to the voice while staring at her shocked friends.
"Unidentified personnel. Code green, code green." An automated voice spoke over head. Hermione cussed a few pretty words that made the eyebrows of her friends shoot up to their hairline. Hermione pointed her wand at her friends and muttered a spell. Soon both were covered in a clear shield that surrounded them entirely. Hermione glanced up at the vents in the ceiling just as a green gas seeped into the hallway. Soon Draco and Ginny were pounding on the shields, trying to get to Hermione who was standing ten feet in front of them. They watched in horror as their friend was consumed in the blue gas. Some of it seeped through their shields, causing them to cough and gasp for air. The last thing that they remember was hat Hermione stood over them, shaking her head and mumbling about needing to make a stronger shield. Blackness covered their vision and soon they both lost consciousness.
