'Oh and I don't know,
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster.
And if I could hold on,
Through the tears and the laughter,
Would it be beautiful,
Or just a beautiful disaster.'
That morning I got up a little but earlier, and allowed Ginny to do my make-up. I have to say, I really don't like make-up that much. The result is nice, but it takes to much time to do. But today was the first day I would be putting my plan into action, and this portion of it required me to look amazing. Ginny didn't question why I wanted to have my make-up done. She had been trying to get a chance to do it for the past year almost, and I guess she was either to scared that I might say forget it, or she just didn't care why, as long as she got a chance to do it.
I must say, at the end of the 45 minutes it took her, I did look amazing. It's hard to stand out at Hogwarts, since everyone has to wear the same black robes. Basically the only things you can work with are your face and hair. The hair, like I said before I already got down. My formerly bushy mop, was now sleek. It was straight, but still had volume, and I had gotten it layered over the summer. It turned a lot of heads when I got back to school. But that's not what I am here to talk about. As I was saying, the make-up Ginny did was phenomenal. She started by curling my eyelashes, and plucking stray hairs from my eyebrows. I was still tan from the summer and I have a good complexion, so she didn't use much concealer, but she used this glittery purple eyeline and wisped it out past the lid. She filled the rest of my lid with a shimmer ice blue (almost white) eye shadow pencil, then used black water proof mascara to elongate my lashes. She used a bronzer to make my look even more sunkissed, and then finally, a brownish red lipstick that she said wouldn't "over do" my look." For all that she did, I was surprised I looked so au natral. The only thing a bit out of the ordinary was my eyes, which Ginny said should always "be my focal point, and what I play around with."
By the time she finished there were only a few minutes of breakfast left, so I figured I'd go talk to Professor Binns about the project, and then I would just head straight to Care of Magical Creatures and wait for Harry and Ron at Hagrid's. As I was about to step through the doors to the outside, I heard by name.
"Granger. Fancy seeing you here." I'd know that voice anywhere. It was Malfoy. Well, here begins my plan. I turned around to face him, putting on my best 'oh great it's you face' and I'm gonna admit it wasn't that hard.
"Malfoy. Good thing I didn't have anything to eat today or I'd be throwing it up right now."
He raised an eyebrow and said, "What did you do to your face?" I'm sure he wanted it to seem like an insult, but he wasn't hiding his look of approval very well. But I kept playing his game anyway.
I spoke slowly like I was talking to a child, "It's called make-up. You've seen it before, Pansy wears it. Though I suppose you haven't seen it in moderation."
Obviously he wasn't to happy about my tone because he quickly got down to business, "Are we still meeting to work on the project? Or is the Mudblood still crying about yesterday?"
I had to smile at that, because he had no idea what he was about to be in for. "Yes. We're still meeting. I even got Professor Binns to approve our topic this morning."
"And what would our topic be?"
A smile slowly kept over my face as I said, "Muggle born witches and wizards throughout history."
As a look of horror fell upon his face, the Great Hall let out and Harry and Ron came over to me, seeing me and Malfoy together.
"What's going on Hermione?" asked Ron.
I continued to smile and look at Malfoy's practically frozen face as I said, "Nothing at all. Same time, same place, Malfoy. And this time, leave the attitude." I winked at him, and the turned and walked away with Ron and Harry.
"What just happened there?" asked Harry.
I looked at both of them with my innocent face, and shrugged, replying, "I don't know what you mean." The walked a bit ahead of them, smile still on my face.
A/N sorry, this was kinda short, but I promise I'll make the next one longer. Please review!! =) Thanks
