**Chapter 2! Ya it took me a bit but Hermione will get to her revenge on those Gryffindors who had done her wrong!!! (Does victory dance) I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other characters, but it will always be my dream!!***

            Hermione looked down at her watch once again, ***Finally, I thought we would never get to Hogwarts! *** After composing herself in the bathroom, she had found, to her own surprise, an empty compartment that she could sit in for the remainder of the train ride. ***Well it has been a quite surprising day already. First, Ron and Harry had stabbed me in the back, and then I walked in on them with more confidence then I've probably ever had! What will happen next? *** As she thought of the possibilities the train had slowly been coming to a stop. She looked out the window and sure enough she saw her home away from home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hermione walked to the Great Hall sadly. She had sworn to herself that she would not get like this but she could not help it. ***I could just imagine the scene right now too! Harry, Ron, and I would walk to the Great Hall, smiles on our faces, anxiously awaiting the sorting ceremony. Ron would complain the whole time about being hungry and Harry would eventually tell him to put a sock in it. We would all laugh and everything would be great, but now it is just me, Hermione Granger, all alone *** When she walked into the Great Hall it was an even sadder sight than she had imagined. Harry and Ron were there of course, but just not with her. They were there with those sluts. ***I can not believe I called them that!!*** She immediately took a seat at the very end of the table, not wanting to be anywhere near any of the other Gryffindors. She had temporarily locked eyes with Harry yet again, but this time she looked away first.

            The Sorting Ceremony went on as usual; there were a good amount of students sorted into each house. Unlike her other classmates, she had absolutely nothing against any of the other houses, she was actually good friends with people from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. She thought about the other houses a little more until the food suddenly appeared on the table. ***Oh no*** Hermione could not go through with eating so much food anymore, but all the food. Every food she could desire was on the table, it all looked so delicious. She started reaching for some but stopped her hand midway. ***I can not do this any more, I cannot let my emotions be controlled by food. I must go on a diet! I must be strong, I have to show Harry and Ron, but speaking of Harry and Ron, why are they looking at me? *** At the other end of the table, Harry still didn't feel right about abandoning Hermione.

            "Ron look." Harry said to Ron. Ron looked down the table to see Hermione not talking to anyone and not eating anything for that matter. He shrugged and said, "I think she finally realized that anymore food will make her even fatter than she already is." Lavender, who was sitting next to Ron, and Parvati, who was sitting across from Harry, started laughing. Ron laughed too but Harry did not, he knew something was wrong, even if she would not show it, he knew. Thinking there was no point in trying to do anything; Harry shook his head and continued eating.

            When Harry looked away, Hermione kept staring. ***Why was he just looking at me? Does he want to apologize, or does he just want to say something else insulting to me? *** Hermione then decided there was no point in staying at the table any longer. She got up and when straight to the common room. After running up several flights of stairs Hermione needed to take a break. She couldn't believe how out of shape she was. ***I must exercise more too. This is so pathetic!! I can't even run up two flights of stairs without getting out of breath*** Hermione got up and walked the remaining stairs. When she got to the fat lady's portrait, she was greeted instantly. "Hello Hermione dear!" the fat lady said cheerfully. "First person up gets to decide the password, any suggestions?" Hermione instantly decided, "How about Godric Gryffindor? Simple to remember and Neville will surely not forget it!!" The Fat Lady smiled and said, "Excellent choice, now run along." Hermione smiled back and said a polite thank you as she climbed through the portrait. When she was inside she sat down and took out a quill and ink and began writing a list of everything that she was going to change about herself.

            Hermione was making changes to her list when Harry, Ron, Parvati, and Lavender all walked in. Ron immediately saw Hermione on the chair writing and decided to make Lavender and Parvati laugh again. "Hey Hermione, what are you writing?" He asked with a grin plastered on his face. Hermione looked at him with a determined look and said, "None of your business." Ron knew she was writing something worth laughing over so he ran and grabbed the list out of her hand. Hermione had tried to get it but she just was not quick enough. Ron went over to Lavender and the entire group began reading it over Ron's shoulder. The whole group of them seemed to laugh harder as they read more. Parvati then said, "Hermione you are so pathetic. You are always going to be the same why are you going to try to change yourself? You are always going to look the same and be the same ugly Hermione. Do not bother, you are hopeless anyway." She then nudged Harry who said, "Face the facts Hermione. No one really likes you, we all just felt sorry for you so we acted like your friends so you could do our homework." They started laughing again, and Hermione ran up the stairs in silent sobs

            She ran up the stairs and didn't stop until she had thrown herself upon her bed, and locked the curtains so no one could hear her or see her. She could of course still see the others and hear them. Hermione just sat on her bed with her head rested on a pillow. ***That is it!! I can not take this abuse anymore! I do not deserve this, and those immature boys and ugly sluts do not have the right to treat me this way. I told myself I would not use magic to change, but they have left me no choice*** She looked at Parvati and Lavender walk into the dormitory still laughing. ***Tomorrow my work will begin, they will all be sorry*** The next day Hermione got up very early so she could go into the library. The library was deserted, but Hermione had already expected that, no one went there as often as she did. ***Now, to the Restricted Section*** She walked past several aisles of books until she reached the Restricted Section. With a wave of her wand, the lock was undone and she walked right in. "Beauty spells, Beauty spells." She kept mumbling to herself as she searched the shelves. Of course she had read about one on train but it was not powerful enough. After about fifteen minutes… "Success," Hermione whispered as she pulled several books out of the shelf. She sat down at a table and began flipping through one of the books for a spell that would be her answer. When she turned the page it shone with brightness, as if it was made just for her. She took one look at the spell and said, "I got it."
