The Many Faces of Hermione Granger ~ Part I
A/N- Okay, this may seem like "Seeing is Believing" at first but it isn't going to be like that at all.

Hermione Granger sat at the Gryffindor table at breakfast. She looked up and down the tables for 'him', Harry Potter. She saw him with Lavender Brown, beside all the other couples like, Parvati Patil and Neville Longbottom, Alicia Spinnet and Fred Weasley, Angelina Johnson and George Weasley, Katie Bell and Lee Jordan, and Ginny Weasley and Colin Creevy. She sighed. All her friends were with their boyfriends or girlfriends besides Ron Weasley.
Ron saw Hermione alone and walked over. "Hey Hermi!" He sat down beside Hermione.
"What's up, Ron?" She began, "why aren't you other friends?"
"Well, Harry's with Lavender, Fred and George are with Alicia and Angelina, Neville's with Parvati, Ginny's with Colin and Lee's with Katie. Answer your question?" Ron replied.
"Yes. We seem to be the only people without a boyfriend or girlfriend around her anymore," Hermione said.
Ron looked at Harry. He and Harry had been best friends since they had met, except Ron had a major crush on Lavender Brown. He and Harry were still friends, though. Harry hadn't been as shy as Ron and as soon as Lavender had kissed him underneath the mistletoe at Christmas he asked her out. He didn't do it to make Ron mad. He didn't even know that Ron had liked Lavender.
Then he looked at his twin brothers, Fred and George. They were total girl magnets. It seemed every girl in the sixth year liked them. But, Fred had liked Alicia Spinnet from the minute he saw her when he was five. His dad and Alicia's dad had been best friends and he had brought over Alicia and her brother Scott one time when he went to visit him. He and Alicia were friends immediately. Scott and Charlie had always been best friends. George had always liked Angelina, whose best friend was Alicia. It worked out for Fred and George. Their girlfriends were best friends.
Hermione looked over at Harry and Lavender. She hated Lavender. She had told Lavender that she liked Harry and then Lavender went over and kissed him. Hermione had even thought for a bit that Harry had liked her too.
Then she looked at Parvati and Neville. Parvati and she had always been real good friends. Neville had dropped the ice cooler at Christmas and Parvati thought he was funny.
Just then Hermione had a wonderful, horrible idea. She would get Lavender and Harry to break up. Then Ron would have Lavender and she would have Harry.
"Ron! I have a wonderful idea! Let's get Harry and Lavender to break up! You can have Lavender and I can have Harry!" She said.
"That's a great idea, but, once Harry told me that the only reason he didn't like you was one, that you were to stiff, and two, not much fun. He also said you needed to change your look," Ron replied.
Hermione looked hurt. 'Too stiff and not much fun?' she thought. 'And, I need to change my look?'
"Ron, can you help me? I'm going to change. I feel like I'm someone else anyway. I was so happy when I got my letter form Hogwarts. Then Neville told me about half-bloods, pure-bloods and Muggle borns. At that point I thought I was going to be the best witch in the school. Do you think I'm really like this on the inside?"
Ron tried to not to laugh. "Yes."
Hermione thought for a moment. "But do you think I can change?"
"Yes, I think you can change." Ron said.

The next morning Hermione walked up to the sixth year girl dormitories. She knocked on the door. Alicia opened it. "Come on in, Hermi," She said.
Hermione walked in. "Can you three help me?" She asked Alicia, Angelina, and Katie.
"With what?" Angelina asked. "Are you taking advanced Transfiguration or Charms?"
"Nothing academic," Hermione said, although they could probably help her. They were very smart. "I need you to get Harry to see the real me."
The three looked puzzled. "The real you?" Katie asked. "Isn't the real you standing right here?"
"No. Not that. I need a makeover, and you to get the schoolgirl personality out of me. That isn't my real personality. I don't see the real me when I look into the mirror," Hermione said impatiently.
Angelina took a step back. She motioned for Hermione to stand in front of the mirror. Then she started pulling Hermione's long, brown hair up. "Would you mind cutting your hair?"
"I haven't gotten it cut for a while," She said. "Just trimmed. My usual length is right below my shoulders."
"Just how I wanted it," Angelina replied.
In two hours, Hermione felt a lot better than she had the past three and a half years. The real her was shining through.
"Wait till Harry sees you," Alicia said.
Hermione walked out into the corridors. Then she saw Harry. He looked distressed.
"Hi Harry," Hermione said.
