Hermione Granger was many things, but self conscious was rarely one of those things. And yet, there she was, standing in front of the full-sized mirror gazing at herself with a scowl.
"What are you doing, 'Mione?" the whinny voice of Lavender Brown asked.
"Nothing of importance," replied the bushy haired brunet. "Just looking at myself."
Lavender stared at Hermione's reflection and said, "You know what? I think you'd look very pretty with a shade or two of lighter hair."
Hermione Granger was many things, but she was never THAT vain.
"I think I'll go for something less drastic, thanks."
Lavender was unfazed, "Well, if you want to change it up without everyone jumping down your throat, you should change your hairdo today. Oh, and put a bit of lip color! I have this lip stain, it's perfect for your skin tone. You can have it," Lavender handed over a small cylinder tube. "It makes me look to pale and sickly."
"Thank you," Hermione said after realizing that Lavender had vacated the room.
The Hogwarts Know-It-All didn't know how long was it that she stood in front of the mirror, but in the end of a timeless gaze, she decided to change her hair.
"What harm can come of it?" The girl though. "It's not as if a change in hair sty and some lip color will do any difference."
"If only..." she mumbled walking down the Great Hall, while unbeknownst to her, a certain blond Slytherin was following her every move with interest and determination.
