AN: Back after a long time I know. Life was hard for the last couple of months and needed some time for me. But I'm back and I hope I can update more often! I've started to one shot collection so please check that out!
I hope you like it!
Since it was a Sunday, Hermione had a lay in. She rubbed her hands over her face, feeling frustrated. 'Urgh, I really have to ask Ginny her help aren't I?'
She sighed once again before she crawled out her comfy bed. She picked out a t-shirtdress her mother bought her in the summer. She put on a pair of ballet flats and put her hair up in a ponytail.
Hermione finally found Ginny and Luna, sitting at the lake having a picnic.
"Hey Hermione, how was the potion?" Luna asked.
"You already used it?" Ginny asked, kind of surprised.
"Yeah… Why the surprise?" Hermione asked Ginny while plopping down on their picnic mat.
Ginny laughed. "Well, I expected you to be less nosey so I didn't think you would have used the potion by now. So I'm guessing you want to talk to us about something?"
Hermione nodded.
"Was it that bad?" Ginny asked.
But before Hermione could open her mouth to answer, Luna already shook her head. "No, Hermione seems to really enjoy it. But isn't sure how to proceed. Am I right?"
Hermione shrugged her shoulders and nodded.
"Ok 'Mione, tell us. What do you want to talk about?" Ginny asked. But she was already watching Luna, expecting her to answer but she shook her head and waited for Hermione to speak up.
Hermione sighed. "Well I've seen how I acted in their fantasies and that just wasn't me… I mean I was being forward and a seductress and … ARGH" Hermione ran her fingers through her hair. "I just thought you guys could give me tips on how to seduce someone."
Hermione looked up at them but before Ginny could start to rattle off her list of seduction techniques (probably the ones she preferred), Luna shook her head.
"Hermione, you don't need to change yourself to be seductive." Ginny tried to protest but Luna put up her hand. "Listen to me. You are a beautiful young woman. But the problem is you don't see that yourself. Let me guess. The fantasies you experienced were you seducing the guy, being extra brave and bold?" Hermione meekly nodded her head.
Luna continued. "Well Hermione, the only thing you had in common in all the fantasies was your confidence in yourself. You hide yourself behind your books and your knowledge. The only thing they changed was how you acted. Ok I'm sure there were things in the fantasies that you've never thought about wearing but that's a whole other point."
Hermione tried to protest but she saw that Luna was right. But Luna wasn't done yet.
"If I know you as well as I think I do then you already browsed the owl order catalogue Ginny so thoughtlessly put in your trunk and was thinking off buying yourself a whole new wardrobe based on the fantasies you saw. How correct am I?" Luna asked.
Hermione sighed and mumbled. "Very spot on."
Luna grabbed one of Hermione's hands. "Look Hermione, if new clothes give you confidence than I'll be the first to say go all out. But buy all the clothes you like and not because you were wearing it in a fantasy. You need to feel good in those and you need to wear them. Guys and some girls" Luna blatantly looked at Ginny, who was looking the other way with suspiciously pink cheeks. "Will like you in everything you wear. And if you really want some new clothes, I'll be happy to help pick them out but you need to do it for yourself and not for someone else who fantasized about you without knickers on."
Hermione started giggling. Luna was right. She was going at it the wrong way. She needed to feel good and feel sexy and not just buy something she thought they would like because it was just some silly fantasy!
Luna smiled. "See, a smile on your face makes you twice as attractive. So what else did you want to talk to us about?"
Hermione started to talk about every fantasy in great detail but decided to leave out the one with Ginny, even though Luna seemed to know about it. And she told the girls her little plan about seducing the guys and girls that fantasized about her. Luna correctly guessed that that spurred on her little freak out about her wardrobe but now she needed a little plan to just subtly let them know that she knew.
With the help from Ginny and Luna, the plans formed into something concrete.
Luna had promised to help Hermione shop for clothes she thought would boost her confidence and made her feel sexy.
The only difference with the night before was Hermione was picking things she liked. The whole shopping experience with Luna and Ginny made Hermione think about Ginny's fantasy but then with Luna.
Hermione saw the gratitude in Ginny's eyes when they said their goodbye's that night. 'I'm sure Luna knows that I saw Ginny's fantasy but from Ginny's reaction, I'm sure she doesn't know how it goes. I don't want to ruin what they have so Ginny's fantasy will stay secret. So that's one fantasy down, now I can concentrate on the others. This will be an interesting year at Hogwarts.'
