Hermione was sitting in front of the television and eating through a tub full of Ben&Jerry's ice cream watching the sickeningly sad love story and crying. She was crying. Crying because her bastard of a boyfriend had thought it amusing to cheat on her. Not in a secluded corner, no. Publicly, out in the open. Hermione wiped her eyes once more as she let her eyes fall on that evening's daily prophet.
War Heroine's boyfriend seen snogging ex-Death Eater's girlfriend
Hermione glanced at the picture of the two of them in a passionate embrace at Diagon Alley ,Florean Fortescues. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at the woman Ron was snogging. How could she ever imagine to rival with her? How could she have been under the impression that Ron would like a girl like her? Wasn't it only yesterday that he had told her the three magic words. Only yesterday? It felt like a millenium. Hermione glued her eyes back to the TV.
Crack!
Hermione jumped and drew out her wand as blonde figure dressed in all black apparated into her drawing room.
'Malfoy?'
'Yes Granger, it's me'
'What are you doing here?' Hermione hadn't seen the blonde-haired Slytherin since Fred Weasley's funeral.
'I suppose you read the newspaper' Draco said ,looking at her tear-stained face, baggy shorts and T-shirt.
'Yeah, but I hardly believe that you are going to help me with it' Hermione said ,huffing and sitting back on the sofa.
'What gives you that idea?' Draco replied ,pausing the movie and causing Hermione to look at him.
'Why would you help me?' Hermione asked.
'You didn't read the whole thing did you?' He asked ,sighing
'No why would I...' Hermione started but was cut off by Draco.
'The model who was caught snogging Ronald Weasley is also known to be ex-Death Eater ,Draco Malfoy's, girlfriend' He read out from the prophet.
'Oh' Hermione said. There was silence before she asked again. 'But how will you help me?'
'Revenge' He said before elaborating 'That is how Slytherins work. They don't mourn they get revenge ,Granger, and that is what I want to do. I just thought that asking you rather than any random girl to assist me will help you with your problems and allow me to see Weasley get jealous of me'
Hermione thought the things through then said 'You want me to fake date you ,don't you?'
'Yes' Draco stated 'It's a win win situation'
'But why would you want to fake date me? I mean you could hitch up with any model off the market' Hermione inquired
'But that wouldn't get my girlfriend annoyed. She would know that I was trying to get back at her. By making you my girlfriend after giving you a highly polished make-over of course will make Weasley think that you changed because of me' Draco explained 'I will give you a make-over and a new closet ,so that he will drool whenever he looks at you ,but he knows that he cannot have you because of me'
'Right...you are sure that this will annoy Ron' Hermione asked.
'Absolutely' Draco affirmed.
'Then I'm in' Hermione smirked ,holding out her hand for Draco Malfoy to shake.
'Then let's get started' Draco clasped her hand and apparated her outside Stacy's styling salon.
'Where are we?' Hermione asked.
'A salon. Now come on. We have come here to get your make-over done.' Draco said.
'But my clothes' Hermione protested.
'Don't worry, I have charmed them so they look decent. Now come on!' Draco grabbed her into the store. Almost instantly, a dark-haired lady came up to them.
'Ah hello Mr Malfoy, what can I do for you today?' She asked.
'I would like you to give her a full make-over. Anything and everything you can do to make her look stunning.' he said ,pushing Hermione in full sight of the woman.
'Okay, I will get Greg to look at you. He is especially good an untameable hair. Could you please go into Room 4. He will meet you there.'
'Right you are ,Stacy' Draco replied ,leading the way to Room 4.
'They have whole rooms for people?' Hermione asked surprised ,as she struggled to keep up with Draco's long strides.
'Yes ,Granger, Stacy has the best -no less' Draco replied ,holding open the door of Room 4 for her.
'Ah... hello ,Mr Malfoy' Greg greeted them as they waked in through the door. Malfoy was a usual customer then. 'Stacy told me that you brought over another one of your chicks for me to have a look at' Hermione felt a pang in her chest. She wasn't the first one Malfoy had brought here?
'This is the girl. Hermione Granger' Draco said ,as Hermione stepped forwards.
'Hello ,Miss Granger. If you will sit down in that chair in front of the mirror, I will get started' Hermione sat down as instructed and looked straight ahead at the mirror but could see no reflection ,only a white foggy landscape.
'Uhhh...sir, I don't think that this mirror works. I can't see my reflexion' Hermione said.
'Oh my gosh Draco. Where did you pick this girl from? Sir? Honestly' Greg said ,before turning to a blushing Hermione 'You're not supposed to see yourself. It is so we can surprise you when we are done. I can see you perfectly well though ,so I don't mess up' he reassured her before tending to her hair ,which Malfoy had recommended he start with. Hermione picked up one of the magazines on the table before her. It was going to be a long day.
