~*~*~*~ Chapter 2: Transformation ~*~*~*~
So during the next two weeks, Jesse and Hermione went through the streets of London, finding the new 'Hermione'.
"Ok, this is what you do. Since I assume your parents are the same as my parents, 'perfect and nothing else', I think
we should start off with the 'not so obvious' things."
So this was what happened. For the first week, they bought Hermione a new wardrobe of clothes.
On the first day, they walked into this shop. Jesse practically shouted, "OMG Hermione! You try this on! It is the
cutest outfit!"
"Shhhhhhhhh! Jesse, this is a shop!" said Hermione, even though there was barely anyone in the shop. Hermione
walked over to where Jesse was standing. Hermione's jaw dropped.
It was a really cute top, with three quarter pants, a sweater that was really cute as well, converse shoes and a hat to
top it all off. It was perfect.
"I dunno about you Herm, but when I wear clothes, I go for cute, stylish but not slutty. You agree?" Jesse looked
concernedly at Hermione. She had hoped that Herm was going to change, but not in that way.
"I couldn't have agreed more." Hermione smiled.
~*~*~
They kept shopping for swimsuits, tops, dresses, skirts, pants, shoes, hats, jewellery and their common interest,
books. Even though Jesse's appearance had changed over the years, she had still been the same bookworm everyone
knew when she was at school.
'How are we going to fit all this stuff in my trunk?' Hermione wondered.
It was creepy, Jesse always seemed to read her mind.
"A shrinking charm of course!" Jesse told Hermione, with an I-thought-you-were-smart look.
~*~*~*~
For the next week, they started changing Hermione's appearance. Hermione was a bit worried.
"Jesse, I'm telling you now, I am NOT dying my hair outrageous colours, like blue or purple or red or green…"
"Relax Herm, but I know this joke about how people got their hair colours… Ok, I won't say it but don't worry! You
don't see me going around with green hair do you? Though I remember once…"
Distressed looks from Hermione. "I'm JOKING! But are you sure green doesn't suit you?"
~*~*~
They settled on a mix of blonde and brown. They made it wavy and it looked really nice.
"And now, for makeup." Jesse looked tired.
"But I don't wear makeup!" Hermione protested.
"Precisely! Look trust me alright?" Jesse said but Hermione looked doubtful.
"Let's compromise. I'll wear a little bit, Ok?" Hermione pleaded. Jesse was uncertain, but content.
They went to a friend of Jesse's to see what they had to do.
"Heyas Em. This is my cousin, Hermione, and we're here for a little 'advice' on makeup for her. Since you're the expert,
we'll leave it all to you."
The slim brunette smiled perfectly to Hermione.
"Well, Jess, to say the truth, if every customer was like Hermione here, then I would be out of business!" Jesse raised
an eyebrow in a questioning look.
"She doesn't need makeup to look her prettiest. She's a natural." Hermione beamed at her, while giving Jesse an I-
told-you-so look.
~*~*~
Back at home, Hermione's parents gave her the full self esteem lecture as soon as she stepped in through the door.
"Now honey, it's not about what other people think, it's all about what's inside that counts." Her mother said.
"That's right, you don't have to care about what others think." Her father told her.
But I do care what others think! Hermione thought. "But…"
"No buts."
Hermione sighed. "Okay…" before stomping up to her room. ~*~*~
It was September the first. She wore a mini skirt and platforms with a cute midriff (a/n: is that how you spell it?).
Hermione wanted to know if people judged her by her looks or really cared about her. So, she got to the platform
fifteen minutes early, with her parent's requests of,
"Don't eat so much of those sweets that you brought home last Summer, you know, those lollies from your school, the ones that have lots and lots of sugar."
"Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day."
"Make sure you eat an apple each day."
"Be careful of this……"
"Be careful of that……"
"Make sure you do this……"
"Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah……"
Hermione shook her head. Her parents made her head spin.
She entered Platform 9 ¾ . Everyone seemed to be looking at her. Somebody whistled. She felt herself go red. Then
everyone started to whisper.
"Is that Hermione Granger?"
"The Hermione Granger?"
"Bookworm?"
"Nerd?"
"Oh My God! I can't believe it!"
These comments really hurt her. She felt herself tearing apart inside. Remember what Jesse said. Keep calm. Don't worry. But she couldn't stop worrying. She got into a compartment and changed her hairstyle to how it was before and
put the robes over her new clothes.
She sat alone in the compartment, waiting with anxiety. Then, Harry and Ron came in. When they saw her, she saw that their eyes were very disappointed.
"You know Hermione, we heard the strangest conversation on the platform. They said that you… Well…" Ron stuttered.
"That I what Ron?" Hermione tried to sound curious.
"That you changed." Harry said boredly while looking her up and down. "But I guess you didn't."
Hermione was choked with tears. No I can't cry. I can't let them see me like this. "I.. need to go visit someone. See yas."
"Hermione, you okay?" Ron asked with concern.
She just managed a half smile. "Yeah Ron. Thanks for asking."
At that, she ran out of the compartment, tears flowing freely, but she didn't care.
BAM
"Hey watch it! Are you okay Granger?"
