Hearing a scream madam pomfrey came running out of her office,

'Oh it's only you, your not dead you just have slight burns and red hair, Snape cant give you the counter potion while you have so much dye in your system. From what the Professor was saying when you were brought in, there was three times as much of the chemical powder then was instructed, this caused a slight explosion and you and Hermione-,' she said motioning to the bed beside the oneA Draco had been laying on

' where knocked out and utterly covered in the potion thus, burning most of your bodies.'

Raising one eyebrow Draco looked at what must have been Hermione, dead straight ear-lobe length midnight black hair. And holy crap it looked good!

'Is she okay?' Draco asked softly,

' Yes of corse its only slight burns, but neither of you can reverse the hair colour for at least forty eight hours. I must say I was most suprised when the Head boy and Head girl were brought in, things like that don't happen very often'

Hermiones eyes fluttered open at this point and she glanced around ' What am I doing in the hospital wing Ron?'

Draco snapped his head up in a fury 'It's not bloody weasely its Draco and don't EVER call me that again'

Hermione looked a little closer and smiled ' you look pretty funny Draco, what happened?' Draco and Madam Pomfrey explained what happened, and Hermione walked over to the nearest mirror and checked out her hair, ' Oh My God! What the hell happened to my hair? IT'S BLACK ! IT'S SHORT it's freeken gorgeous! Your saying I did this? But I couldn't have all I did was follow the list so it must have been you Draco!'

looking at the nurse Hermione asked how long they would have to be there and got the reply ' you can leave now your awake, just let me get rid of the burns', saying a quick spell promfrey had both Draco and Hermione good as new, well sept for their hair.

Walking towards the prefects dorm the pair got allot of stares you can expect.

Hermione said the password and they retreated into the quieter common room to be greeted by yet more stares, Padme looked up in utter and complete shock, but came to pretty quick with a shriek

'Hermione finally you let someone do something cool with your hair! Does that mean your going to let me give you a make-over?' without waiting for a reply Padme grabbed Hermiones hand and dragged her towards the girls prefect bathroom quick as a flash.

When the girls got inside and next to the padmes mirror Hermione sat on her chair and looked at Padme with shining eyes.

' This hair really suites me hey?' Padme was so thrilled with the opportunity to a make-over on the girl that her sister had been trying to get to cooperate for the past 7 years.

"It looks fantastic, so what happened, did you have a change of heart?'

Hermione launched in to the now familiar story , at the end Padme's eyes were fairly wide. 'That really happened? That's so cool!, why doesn't anything that cool happen to me?'

'Padme, it wasn't planned! Draco must've stuffed something up'.

Sensing an 'as usual' Padme just smiled at Hermione and swiftly changed the subject to Justin and her plans to ask him if he would like to go out on a date with her.

It was more then an hour later Padme told Hermione to look in the mirror, the shock in Hermione's eyes was more then evident, the light grey over Moine's eyes accentuated her black hair and Padme had evidently used a mixture of muggle and magical make-up, she had used eyedrops (magical) that made her already brown eyes into a very dark, deep brown. It looked cool.

The was no other way to describe it except. Cool.

Back in the common room Hermione made a little impact. Draco dropped his book and justins pen fell unceremoniously down to the stone floor.

'Well?' said Hermione walking towards the Gryffindor entrance door, 'what do you think?'

It was pretty stupid question but everyone loves a bit of attention so she had decided to ask even though every guy had gone momentarily deaf.

Not bothering to wait and hear the different answers Hermione walked into the Gryffindor common room and creped up behind Harry and Ron while they we doing what looked like...Homework?

'What the hell are you guys doing? It cannot possibly be homework, you never do your homework, in fact the last time I checked the only class that you guys were even remotely passing was care of magical creatures!'

'Hermione! What have you done to your hair!?' asked a rather stunned Harry, 'you should see Draco if you think this is bad, he looks like he would fit into the Weasley family without a hitch aye.'

Ron grimaced, 'I don't think so but, um... your hair and make-up looks great, what are you so dressed up for? Do you have a date or something?'

'oh Ron you will never change,' said Hermione with a smile, of corse I don't have a date, but even if I did what would it be to you ?'

Harry winked at Ron and put his arm around Hermione ' what? arn't you ever going to tell him about us Mione?'

With shock and anger registering all over Ron's face Harry took his arm off Hermione and rolled his eyes, 'never fear Ron I could never do that to you...not to mention Hermione...or your sister.' Smiling again Harry strode the three steps over to where Ginny was sitting with some of her sixth year friends and placed a hand over her eyes while kissing her gently. Running back over to his friends and pretending nothing had happened he glance back at Ron who was looking like some sort of relation of a tomato. It was a pretty funny site and by now Ginny's friends had admitted it was Harry who'd kissed her, Ginny winked at Harry and took Hermiones arm. 'If you will excuse us boys we have some major waves to make in the dining hall for dinner.' Hermione said as they slinked away with more then usual sway in their step.

The dining hall were slightly mesmerised, and no matter were she went Hermione got continuous compliments, that was until she came face to face with her beloved (not) potions master.

'Ms Granger, I will inform you now so you have no misconceptions. You will be punished for disrupting my potions class, I think that a weeks worth of detentions will be adequate. But I will have no problems what so ever to triple that if you so much as talk without permission over the next week.' Snape swished away, his cloak billowing behind him and was heard muttering about the sorts of things he would do if his class was ever disrupted in such a manner again.

When the prefects and head boy/girl returned to the common room the prefects set up homework all over the common room and Draco and Hermione headed to there seprate beds.

'Hermione, can I talk to you for a minute?' asked Draco turning suddenly and striding towards he stairs. Suprised, Hermione turned and waited for him to talk.

'I just wanted to say that you look... nice' with that Draco turned and walked to his room closing the door quietly behind him.
