Chapter 4: The contest.
Hermione woke up the next morning confused and extremely nervous. There were no classes that day, because it was Saturday and the contest lay in the evening, so there were serval hours before she needed to get ready. What should she do in all that time?!
Hermione went out of bed and got dressed. Pavarti and Lavender were still asleep and would probably be for another couple of hours. Lucky them! Hermione looked at her watch: 8 AM. The contest was at 7 PM. For just another eleven hours, she would have to lie to Harry and Ron; in eleven hours she would be standing on the stage, participating in the first Beauty Contest at Hogwarts ever. How would she feel standing there? Right now she just felt nervous - and hungry she realised, so she went down to the Great Hall.
Not many people were awake. From the Gryffindor House there were a few third and five years and maby some from the second year, but Hermione wasn't sure.. She sat down at the table, and looked around the Hall. There were quite a few Ravenclaws down for breakfast and some Hufflepuffs. The last table she looked at was the Slytherin table. It was then she spotted him, Draco Malfoy, talking to another boy from Slytherin - probably a 7th year.
'Damn, he is hot!' Hermione thought, 'even if he is a prat, he has the look - and charme as well. Besides Harry I think he is the most popular guy in school.' Hermione had a long time ago admitted to herself, that Draco was good-looking. She hated his personality, but his body was just *yummy*!
*********
Hermione had finished breakfast and was now heading towards the Library, when she heard a very familiar voice.
"So the know-it-all mudblood is going to the Library again." Draco said while Hermione turned to face him. "Tell me Granger, what do you find so fascinating about books? Especially schoolbooks?"
"Why do you care, ferret boy?" Hermione asked pleased with herself when she saw the angry look on Draco's face. "If you really want to know, I just happen to love books. Is that so hard to understand?!"
Draco looked very pissed off and asked: "What did you call me?" in a low and very dangerous voice.
"Ferret boy" Hermione said, trying to show some courage she didn't have. Within a second Hermione found herself standing against the stonewall with Draco's body pressed against hers. Draco had a firm grib on her arm and looked straight into her eyes.
"Don't ever call me ferret again! If you do, I can't say what the consequences will be." The voice was low and deadly serious. She knew he really meant it, and with a very little voice she said: "I won't" and meant it.
Draco didn't move right away. He kept looking into her eyes. Those grey ball had magic in them, she could feel it. A shiver ran through her. After a little while Draco seemed to regain the control over himself. He stepped away from Hermione, turned around and ran away from her.
'How can such a bastard look so good?' Hermione asked herself, 'and what happened to me? When he looked into my eyes, I couldn't look away... Am I starting to get a crush on him? No, I can't! I'll have to think about this after the contest.' With that thought in her head, Hermione went throght the door to the Library to read.
*********
"Hermione? Hermione wake up! It's nearly three o'clock!" Ginny's voice had woken Hermione up. Hermione had been in the Library all the time, but the lack of sleep had caught up with her and she had fallen asleep and slept through Lunch.
"What?! Three o'clock? Oh, shit!" Hermione said. "The contest is in four hours and I have to be in the Great Hall at least half an hour before!"
"Relax Hermione." Ginny said calmly. "I'll help you get yourself ready. First you need to get a bath. I'll tell Harry and Ron something about us helping Pavarti and Lavender getting ready. Now hurry to the bathroom!"
*********
Half an hour later Hermione was in the 6th year Girl Dormitory. Pavarti, Lavender and Ginny were there as well. Pavarti and Lavender were getting themselves ready for the contest, and Ginny was doing Hermione's hair.
"I think it would look nice, if I made some light stripes in your hair. May I do it?" Ginny asked.
"Um... I don't know... Okay, just do it, I need some changes anyway." Hermione said a bit nervous.
"Just relax Hermione, you're gonna look good."
"Okay, I trust you," Hermione said and relaxed a bit.
********
It was a good thing Hermione had let Ginny do her hair and makeup, because when Ginny was done, Hermione didn't just look good, no, she was a mix between beautiful and stunning.
Ginny had made the light stripes, I talked about earlier, but also some redgolden ones. She had decided to let Hermione's hair hang loose down her back, so it reached her waist and was smooth and sleek. Hermione had to wear the dress first, so Ginny had put a mixture of darkblue and silver eyeshadow and some glittery lipgloss on. Hermione was wearing the midnightblue and silver dress and had a silver necklace, which had the shape of a snowflake, around her neck.
She and Ginny was on their way to the Great Hall. They were the only people in the corridor. Those who weren't participating in the contest were already in the Great Hall, waiting for the contest to begin.
The girls, who had joined the contest, and their helpers should meet in a room beside the Great hall. Here Dumbledore told them, that they would first go catwalk across the stage in their dresses, then in badingsuits or bikinies. At their third time on the stage, they would do their 'talent' and as the fourth and final he would ask them each some questions, they had to answer earnestly.
*********
It was now 7 PM and Dumbledore went out on the stage to introduce the contest.
"Hello students. I know you have all been excited about the contest and now it's finally here. In the first round you'll see the girls in an evening dress, so please welcome from the Gryffindor House's 6th year Lavender Brown."
The whole hall was filled with cheering and wolf whistles when Lavender entered the stage. She was wearing and long, white dress. Her darkbrown hair was in a ponytail and hung down her back. It was curled and shiny. She looked stunning.
After her a couple of girls from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw came on stage (Cho Chang and Hannah Abbot was a few of them) then Dumbledore's voice said: " Please welcome from the Gryffindor House's 6th year Hermione Granger."
When Hermione stepped out on the stage, the whole hall was silent. All the boys was gaping at the sight of the extremely beautiful girl on the stage - Even Harry and Ron had big eyes and jaws dropped. All the girls were jealous at the girl, who had got all the guys' attention. But the most strange thing was, that this was Hermione Granger - the boring know-it-all with bushy hair.
After a moment the whole hall broke out cheering and talking excited. Whistles were heard - even from the Slytherin table. Draco Malfoy was stunned. Was this really the know-it-all mudblood, he had known and hated since first year? He couldn't believe it. The other day outside the castle, when he had seen her in a joggingsuit, was nothing compared to this! She was the most perfect woman he had ever seen.
**********
Harry and Ron gasped in unision when they heard Hermione's name and saw her walk out on the stage. They hadn't expected her to be in the contest and they had never seen her like this before. She was so excited, she almost gloved.
"Wow, Herm is really beautiful!" Ron said, his eyes still fixed on the stage.
"I can't do anything but agree on that!" Harry said, "So that was her secret... But why wouldn't she tell us?"
"I don't know mate. We'll just have to ask her about it after the contest.." Ron said just after Hermione had left the stage. "Now I'm just looking forward to the next round - you know bikinies..."
Harry couldn't help but suppress a grin at the comment. "Yeah, me too!" He grinned.
*********
When Hermione came into the room with the girls, she couldn't help a grin when she saw Ginny.
"Did you see their faces?" (A/N: She means Harry and Ron)
"Yes, I did, and it was priceless!" Ginny giggled, "I know, I should be jealous of you - especially because of the look on Harry's face - but I'm not. You're my best friend and Harry loves me..."
"Yes Gin, he really does. When you aren't around, all he can talk about is Quidditch and you." Hermione said seriously. "You're very lucky."
"I know, and I love him!"
Hermione changed into her bikini. It was black and had the effect that in a special light, it would change into a dark forest green. It went well with Hermione's tanned skin and Cinnamon eyes.
**********
This time Pavarti went on the stage right before Hermione. She wore a grey bikini, which went well with her blond hair. She had, just like Hermione, chosen to let her hair hang loose around her shoulders, but hers was curled and seemed to frame her face in gold. From the Hall cheering was heard. A boy yelled a funny comment about Pavarti's prettyness and many laughed - Pavarti included.
"Please welcome, for the second time tonight, from the Gryffindor House, Hermione Granger." Dumbledores voice suddenly yelled .
Even before Hermione had stepped out on the stage, applause was heard from the Great Hall. When she came out into the light, the applause changed into wolf whistles and not just a few boys had big, round eyes.
Hermione looked down at the people and noticed Draco looking up at her. She smiled - and to her surprise - he gave her a small smile. She got goosebums. Just as she reached the other end of the stage, she thought: 'Yep, I am definitely getting a crush on him...'
**********
Draco starred at the stage, when Hermione's name was called, because he wanted to see this perfectly looking girl again. And this time she was even more beautiful - her black bikini changed sometimes into a dark green and that made her look mysterious and somehow more like the witch, she was, than she normally did in her ropes.
'OMG, she is so beautiful!' Draco thought. 'Come on Draco, you're a Malfoy - an evil pureblood, and she's just a dirty mudblood!' 'Yes maby, but she's still hot!' Draco's voice 'said' and then he had already forgotten the voice, because Hermione smiled at him, and she had looked angel-like, he just had to smile back.
**********
On Hermione's third time on stage she wore a white tank-top and some dark jeans which hugged her hips. This time she was really nervous, this time she had to sing. She loved to sing and she knew she had a nice voice, but what if she didn't remember the text or the 'audience' didn't like the song? 'Well, I just have to do my best' Hermione thought as she entered the stage. She went to the microphone as a slow well-known rythm started to play. The words just came to her:
You're a song
Written by the hands of god
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them
Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
Because of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other
Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling
Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
The song ended and Hermione said: "The song is by a muggle female singer and is called 'Underneath your clothes'. Hope you liked it."
Then Hermione turned around and went off the stage. She was very relieved, they liked it! And she could still hear the applause ring through the Hall.
**********
Lavenders talent was Hiphop dance. She wore a tight, black T-shirt and a pair of big, baggy, black pants, just like the black rappers. She had a lot of success, because many of the witches and wizards in the hall had never seen a dancestyle like that. - And they liked it.
Also Pavarti and her story were well received. She told the fairytale about Little Red Ridinghood. Many of the students hadn't heard that kind of tale before, and those, who had, liked the tale.
Soon the last round came and it was time to questions about anything. Many of the girls had been on the stage and Hermione was one of the last. When it was finally her turn, she was curious about what kind of questions Dumbledore would ask her.
"Hello Miss Granger." Dumbledore said.
"Hello Professor."
"So Hermione, after you leave school what do you want to do?"
"Actually I don't quite know yet Professor, but maby I'll become an auror."
"Who do you think would be the best candidate to win the contest tonight?"
"There are so many both talented and beautiful girls here tonight, so I don't know."
Dumbledore asked her a few other questions before he said:
"Have you thought about what tomorrow will be like for you?"
Hermione was quiet for some time. She hadn't expected that question at all and actually she hadn't thought about it neither, but when she thought about it now, tomorrow seemed quite scary.
"No I havn't. I'll just have to wait and see what will happen, plus I will have some explanation to do." When she said this, she looked at Harry and Ron, who knew it was them she was talking about.
"Thank you Miss Granger." Dumbledore said and Hermione left the stage. Now she just had to wait for the judges to make a decision.
