Chapter 1 The Makeover
(Herms thoughts are in italics).
I've been going to Hogwarts for six years going on seven and I still haven't had a boyfriend. Maybe I should do one of those makeovers like on T.V. Herm let her mind wander as she brushed her hair. Herm sighed and then stood up to pack her clothes. She had received a letter that summer saying she was head girl and that she would meet head boy when she got to Hogwarts. At least she could be happy about that. Her parents had been fighting on and off all summer. At least while she was in school her parents wouldn't kill each other because they were going to a marrige counselor. Suddenly fighting broke out downstairs in the kitchen. Not again!! Last time they started fighting they wouldn't talk to each other for a week! Herm finished packing and went over to Lea's house.
"Hey Lea!!"
"What's up Herm?"
"I was wondering, could you do one of those makeover things like you did for C.C.?"
"Sure. But I thought you weren't into that kinda thing."
"Well, lets just say I'm sick of not getting any attention."
"Ok. Well sit down over there and I'll go get my kit."Lea started running up the stairs, then peeked her head back down."Do you mind if I cut some of your hair?"
"I guess not. Just don't cut a lot. Ok?"
"Got it!"
Lea came back down with two huge cases. One of them was makeup and the other was hair stuff. Half an hour later Herms' long, wavy brown hair was a meduim-length, straight, blonde hair, with red high-lights. Her lips had the glossiest look ever and her nails had been done.
"Herm, you've got the hair, and you've got the makeup. But now you need the clothes. Let's go over to your house and then the mall and check the styles."
They went over to Herms' and Lea started going through the closet. She put all Herms tank tops, halters, and other cute shirts in a pile. She put all of Herms dress shirts, except for two which she stuck in the pile of tanks, into a seperate pile.
"Okay, keep the pile with the two dress shirts and the tanks, and take everything else to the Goodwill box. Now I'm going to go through your jeans, then your shorts, and then your skirts and skorts. Then we're done!"
Herm went and got a box to put all her "old" clothes in. She drove out to the closest Goodwill box and threw everything in. When she got back there were tons of jeans, shorts, skorts, and skirts waiting to be tried on. When they were finally done Herm went downstairs to get some money for the mall.
"Mommy, can I have some money for the mall??? I asked dad but he said you probably only had 10 dollars to give me, and I quote "She's such a cheapskate.' is what he said."
At that, her still angry mom said," Call me a cheapskate will he. Well, how does 35 dollars sound.?"
"It sounds good to me." said Herm taking the money. She walked over to her dad in the next room.
"Daddy, I want to go to the mall but Mom said she doesn't have any money and she said you probably couldn't top 35 anyway, but do you have any money I can have???"
"35 eh, well lets see if she can top 45!! Here you go sweety. Have fun at the mall."
Herm went back upstairs to tell Lea she was ready to go. About a half-hour later they arrived at the mall. When they walked by the bookstore, Herm was about to go in but Lea grabbed her arm and dragged her to the Buckle. They found the cutest clothes and were able to get twice as much because everything was on sale.
"Thank you sooo much for everything Lea!!"
"You're welcome Herm, but it was no biggie. Well I guess I'll see you during Christmas Break. They moved the starting day up again. Sorry. Well, tootles!"
