~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ginny's PoV
I dropped my jaw in astonishment as I finally recognized the girl who had come through the door.
"Hermione?!!!" Ron cried out. "Is that YOU?"
If Harry and Ron had thought MY outfit outrageous, they sure hadn't seen Hermione's! Even Lyra was gazing at her with disbelief. Actually, her outfit in general wasn't that different from mine, but she had no boots.. Instead she had baby blue flip flops with cute litte dolphins. Also unlike me, (SADLY) she had filled out in all the right places, and looked, well, so much more natural and in the right place! It was like the true Hermione had finally come out.
She had on a short black mini skirt and a hot pink spaghetti-strap tank top. Her eyelids had some kind of pinkish-orangish tinge to them, and her eyelashes were noticeably darker. Her lips were shinier, and her cheeks pinker. This must be what Lyra was talking about when she said make-up! Her hair was probably the biggest difference. It was no longer bushy, but straight, golden brown. (A/n: sorry, I know her hair practically ALWAYS gets straightened in these stories, but hey. It fit.)
Harry finally broke the awkward awe-filled silence. "You look, err. so much different!" he stuttered.
Ron nodded, mouth still open, as he continued to gaze at Hermione. She simply rolled her eyes and gave him a teasing shove.
"Oh snap out of it already," she grinned, obviously pleased at all the attention he was giving her. "I'm still the same old Hermione, whether I've changed appearances a little or not."
Ron's ears turned red from embarrassment of being caught staring, but he quickly gained his composure again. "First Ginny, now you! What's with it with girls these days?" Ron demanded, trying to sound angry, though it was well too obvious that he was HAPPY with her dramatic change.
"Well," Hermione stated crisply, playing right along, "not that YOU'D care, but if you'd read my letters thoroughly enough, you would have read that I was spending a month with my cousin in Brazil, and she happens to be 21! She gave me some tips. You know, you could use a bit more maturity yourself!"
Ron's ears turned even redder at this. "Oh yeah? He stated. "Well how are we supposed to get every detail in a 6 page letter? And how were we supposed to connect the fact of you going to Brazil with your cousin to a major, err. transformation??!!"
I sighed and shook my head. It seemed like they would never learn that arguing was not the only way of flirting! When would they finally admit to each other that they were the perfect pair, and had to get together? If they didn't couple this year, and I had to endure another year of their bickering, I swear, I'd go insane.
It was a long train ride. The conversation was mostly between Hermione and Ron, (arguing of course) and it was mostly about Hermione. I was just kind of COMPLETELY forgotten about. As for Harry, he just buried himself behind a copy of one of Ron's copies of the daily prophet. I mean, I know he never got to see it at the Dursley's, but still! My only triumph on the whole train ride there was when Harry handed me a chocolate frog. But seeing as he handed Ron, Hermione, and Lyra one, I hardly had cause to feel special.
The only other good part about the ride, was that because Harry was so absorbed in his newspaper, and Ron and I had a perfect opportunity to "study" him. But staring at those ebony locks, and those brilliant emerald depths that saw me only as Ron's sister, and those smooth, tan, strong hands that will probably never hold mine, I got kinda depressed.
He was just so out of reach!!!!
We finally arrived at Hogwarts, and at sight of the magnificent castle, I cheered up quite a bit. After all, it was practically a second home. Lyra (thankfully) decided not to bring up the train ride, and we had a glorious time chatting about events of last year, and the abundance of memories kept us going for a while, and soon Rachel and Gina came to join us. I had almost forgotten about Harry, until dinner, when he sat right across from me. Right across from ME! I know he was just sitting there because Ron had sat down before him, and he was just sitting next to Ron, but I was still happy.
I then scanned the teacher table, and saw the most peculiar sight ever!!
