::jaw drops:: wowzers! Just leave it to me 'n' my munch'ems to get a job done so quickly!!! Thanks to my first reviewer on this story--arigatou gozaimasu!! But sorry for forgetting your name ^_____^
Dimitri: Only you would forget someone else's name ::rolls eyes::
Saturn: And only you would criticize me for it, dang nabit! Well, anyway, I decided to tell you what happened to Hermione: she wasn't even really halfway human, but since she was half _________ and half __________, they fought until they reached an 'agreement' of sorts to 'take over' her body at the same time as each other, resulting in her change in appearance, don't worry, it will all make since (help me w/ that, someone!!) later- and if you can guess what she is at least half, you get...um....a...um ::digs through trunk:: oo! you can have an honorary spot in the story! But just the first couple, okies! You won't know the other one, since I made it up myself ^____^
Well, since I'm just eating my diner comprised of Munch'ems, Dr. Pepper and Hawaiian pizza, I think I'll get this show on the road!

Last time:
She couldn't stand the stares. They were all staring at her, many of the male species whistling. She continued to ignore them and loaded her things aboard the train with minimal effort, not even noticing the stares she got from her show of strength. She stepped onto the train in search of the two she hadn't seen all summer.
~*~*~*~
"Harry! Ron! How was your summer vacation?" she said when she located them. The two turned to greet their other best friend but their jaws dropped open. Instead of Hermione, though, there was a drop-dead gorgeous female with large, dark brown eyes, a to-die-for figure, and strait brown hair that reached to her mid back-who apparently seemed to know them.
"E-excuse me...but do I know you?" asked Harry, regaining his senses first.
"I've only been your best friend for five years! How could you not notice me?" she asked.
"When'd you get so...so....for lack of a better word, pretty?" asked Ron. "And when did you straiten out your hair? I mean, it used to be so....bushy!"
"Thanks, Ron, really boost my self-esteem. It just..um...straightened out during the summer--no biggy."
"Why don't I believe you?" he asked.
"Probably because my hair didn't come from a book! Honestly, Ron, you wouldn't think...oh never mind, I have a prefect meeting to go to," she said glaring at them.
"Fine! Be that way!" Ron pouted.
"At least I'm not being childish," she said, storming out of the train compartment, very much like a child who hadn't gotten her way.
~*~*~*~
"I must inform you that you are not allowed in this compartment, miss," said the only one not shocked by her abrupt entrance-Draco Malfoy.
"Shut it, Malfoy, I'm in no mood to participate with you in childish banter," she said, plopping down into a couch next to one of the other prefects.
"Excuse, me, but do you know who you're talking to?" he asked her, his glare barely chipping away at the surface.
"Yes...but the question should be--do you know who you're talking to?" she asked him, as it was evident he did not.
"No...would you care to inform us so that I may report you to one of the Professors for not listening to higher authority," he spat out, thinking he had one, as it was obvious that he would tell Snape.
"Why certainly, Mr. Malfoy. Since you don't recognize me, I shall tell you, although it pains me tha--"
"Stuff it, lady, and give us your name already."
"Fine, fine, no need to get haughty. Surely you remember your dear old Hermione Granger, don't you?" she asked, smirking as most in the room gawked. "What's so surprising about this?"
"Well for one, you look totally different, you probably haven't even memorized half of Telepathy, Necromancy, and Fire," said Draco, trying to cover his mistake.
"Of course I haven't, baka*! Especially since it isn't even required reading for this year!" she said. "Can we get on with this, please?"
"Sure," said Lee Jordan, current head boy( I didn't know what grade he was in, but his name popped up out of a few ^______^). "First thing on the agenda is the rooming. The password to the prefect common room is 'Arpeggio'. Also, this year, since the female prefects had some....trouble....rooming together, we've all been given separate rooms. the prefect bathroom has also been moved, as it was easily accessible to most of the student body last year....or maybe it moved on its own...I'm not quite sure...but you will be able to get to it through the last door before the staircases by saying 'Quaint' to it....always with the passwords...."
"Um...I hate to interrupt but....do you have the passwords to our house common rooms?" asked Lisa Turpin, the prefect from Ravenclaw.
"Yes, actually, I do. I'll hand them out when the train stops, all right?" Terry nodded, and the meeting proceeded.
"So we can basically do...anything we want?" asked Justin.
"Well...you can't get in trouble or else you get kicked off and the 'runner-up', I guess you call him or her, gets to take your place."
"Harsh," commented Justin. At that moment, the train pulled to a stop at the station in Hogsmead and Lee handed them thick envelopes.
"Enjoy dinner as I probably won't see you until later tonight, and don't forget to stay in your common rooms until almost everyone is asleep."
~*~*~*~
Dinner was delicious, as usual, the list of thing to do and not to do increasing since last year, obviously. Hermione was busy reacquainting herself with fellow classmates, as they, too, did not recognize her. In fact, the only person to even slightly recognize her had been Colin, much to everyone's surprise. After dinner, Hermione instructed the first years about the shortest route to their common room, curfew, and other such minor details, also announcing the current password to those present at the fat lady's portrait when they arrived. After showing the boys and girls to their rooms, Hermione plopped down on one of the squishy chairs by the fire to read the notices in the packed Lee had handed her.
'First years are beastly,' he decided as soon as his body plopped into the nearest couch, feet up, in hopes of reading some of the material that had been handed out to him on the train. After dinner which was, although he'd never admit it out loud, marvelous, he had had to deal with the numerous first years that had come into Slytherin this year. How they could stand each other was anyone's guess. They were always at each others throat, actually. He shuddered at the thought of anything at his throat, but forgot it and was quickly absorbed in his packet.
~*~*~*~
"I trust you all read the information that I handed out to you," Lee said as he sat on his couch.
"Yes," replied the four prefects, although rather dully.
"Why so glum, chums?" he asked smiling. His smile faded, however, at the sight of four less than thrilled prefects and one softly snoring Head Girl. Smirking, he crawled over to her and yelled "WAKE UP, KATIE!" into her ear. She sat up suddenly, banging their heads together. The prefects laughed rather unenthusiastically at this. "Fine! I give up!! Go to sleep! Geez....ya'll are such a hard crowd to please!"
