Chapter 1-
Harry waited on Platform 9 3/4 with Ron for Hermione. Eleven o'clock rolled around, and there was still no sign of her.
"Come on, Harry. We're going to miss the train."
"OK. I gues Hermione will have to find another way to get to Hogwarts."
They climbed onto the train and searched for an empty compartment. They finally found one near the end of the train. It was only occupied by Ginny and a tall, bron-haired, fair-skinned girl whom the boys didn't recognize.
"Hey sis. Who's your friend?"
The brown-haired girl looked up.
"So, my makeover was so drastic it made Ron Weasley not recognize his best friend, Hermione Granger?"
Harry and Ron were shocked.
"Hermione?" Harry said unbelieving. "Wow, you look even more beautiful. I mean you were gorgeous before, but now!"
"Thanks Harry," Hermione replied eagerly.
"Ginny, did you do this while you were at hermione's house over the summer?"
Hermione's parents and Mrs Weasley had agreed to allow Ginny to stay with the Grangers after during the summer between Ginny's 4th and 5th year and Hermione would live with the Weasleys after her 6th year. Apparentl the girls had had a fun summer.
"Yep. We gave each other makeovers. Mine wasn't as drastic, though."
Ron snorted. "That's obvious. She looks like a model for that muggle magazine 'Playboy' while you look like a peasant!"
Hermione and Ginny both sent death glares at Ron.
"What did I do?"
Harry shook his head, not believing his friend's dim-wittedness(A/N: I'm not sure if that's a word, but you know what I mean.) "You basically said that Ginny was ugly. You hurt your sister's feelings. Look at her, she's crying! And you compared Hermione to a bunch of sluts and bitches who go around sleeping with every guy they see!"
"I can understand why you're defending Hermione,"(at this, Ron winked in a way that could nto be descirbed as subtle)"but why are you defending Ginny? Don't tell me that you like her too!"
"Ron, you know who I like, and it's not Hermie or Ginny."
"Excuse me, but DID YOU JUST CALL ME HERMIE?"
Harry was shocked for two reasons. One was he had never had Hermione direct her tempeer at him. The second was he had let his pet name for Hermione slip out. He only used it when he was telling Ron exactly what was so great about Hermie. He was so stupid. How could he have said that?
"Sorry. I was thinking of my real nickname for you. You know how I call you Herm a lot. I guess I accidentally added an -ie anto it in my head and it slipped out of my mouth."
"It's okay. So tell me something. Who do you like?"
"No one."
"No, I'm serious. Who do you like?"
Ron whispered something in Ginny's ear. Ginny giggled. Talking in low voices, the siblings ran out of the compartment, but no before Ron yelled, "Tell her, already!"
That's all for now. Please review.
