September 3, 1995

Location- Headgirl Dorm

Time- 1:28 AM

As I sit her on my bed I watch Katherine and Ginny fast asleep on their coaches. I thought that this night would drag on forever and that I would really regret agreeing to this make over, but to be completely honest... I feel content, and I feel really good about how much Katherine must take me as a friend if she would do all this for me. I wonder what my hair will look like after I take this shower cap off. Damn this itches like crazy. I better go to bed before I wake up one of them.

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

Hermione slowly closed her diary and sat it next to her under her covers.

"Nox." Mumbled Hermione turning out the light on her wand (lumos).

The room slipped into complete darkness except for the hint of blue moonlight shining through her curtained windows. Hermione slowly sunk back into her bed and reached for her fluffy warm covers. Before slipping into sleep Hermione made sure that her diary next to her. Yes, it was still there next to her. Hermione hugged it close to her chest and fell into drowsiness. Her eyelids slowly closed making her drift into a long deep sleep.

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty." Hermione heard Katherine and Ginny's voices in unison as they chanted this over and over.

"Ugh... Leave me alone guys. One more hour please!..." Hermione begged pulling her blanket further up wishing that it would make her invisible and make her friends go away.

"Oh come on Mione. If you want to get a head start on the day then you're going have to get up. Now UP!" commanded Katherine's muffled voice from outside Hermione's blanket.

"No please guys. It's a Saturday. Not today..." grumbled Hermione sleepily.

"Plus Hermione, you're not to leave that stuff in your hair too long. If possible it can damage your hair even more." Said Ginny.

Hermione took a minute to think about this. Finally giving in she threw her covers off and sat on her bed cross legged looking at her friends. They were still wearing pajamas. Ginny had on a long lacy white nightgown that were spaghetti strapped. She also had large white rollers in her infamous Weasley flaming red hair. Katherine on the other hand was wearing a black camisole and black lacy short-skivvies (the type that aren't exactly cut like normal underwear, but they're like shorts that cling to your body). She had her hair up in a messy bun and wasn't wearing any make up, but she still had a natural beauty that reminded Hermione about those fantasy stories with fairies and elves (A/N: No, not the house elves, think more over the lines of 'Lord of the Rings' Elves. Like Arwen.) To Hermione's surprise she was even wearing glasses (black rimmed and rectangular, the type that most girls wore because they were considered the only type of decent glasses). Hermione felt out of place with what she was wearing. Gryffindor cloured checkered pajama bottoms and a white tank top. And to top it all off, on her head still clung the hideous pink shower cap with little daisies on them.

"Well, are you coming or what Granger?" asked Katherine grinning towards the bathroom doors that stood next to her oak vanity desk and the rose wood burue, "Your hair isn't going to wash itself you know."

Hermione smiled and jumped off her bed and followed Katherine to the bathroom. Hermione entered her personal bathroom. She then realized that she hadn't spent much time in there except for early morning showers, but even then she hadn't taken the time to look around and expect the bathroom. It really was nice. White and black swirled marble floor, mirrors as the wall on each side, the little 'fairy-bulbs' Hermione admired so much the previous night. There was even a large black marble tub smack in the middle of the room separate from an over head shower fall. Hermione looked to the other side of the bathroom; there was a separate room for the toilet and to Hermione's disgust, a bidet.

"Whoa, Hermione this is like every girl's dream bathroom." Sighed Katherine admiring it.

Hermione noticed that Katherine's black cosmetic bag sat on the sink counter with all the make up and beauty product standing neatly in a line.

"So, what now?" asked Hermione itching to get the shower cap off her head.

"Well Granger, first take the cap off then I want you to take a nice steamy shower." Instructed Katherine like a Lt. to a private, "Now hop to it."

Hermione giggled and grabbed a white towel from the large stack of fluffy white towels that sat on the counter. She placed it on the towel rack next to the door of the shower. Just as Katherine was departing the room she stopped and turned back to face Hermione.

"Oh, and before I forget. Here." Said Katherine handing Hermione a different tube of conditioner and shampoo than from what she had used on Hermione the night before. Also before leaving she gave Hermione a pink bar of soap formed in the shape of a large star, "Keep those. Just think of them as a small gift from your own personal beautician."

Katherine gave Hermione a warm smile before leaving. Hermione waited to hear the lock click before taking the shower cap off (with the rest of her pajamas) and taking that nice steamy shower her friend had instructed her to do. Taking her time to get through all the supplies Katherine gave her, Hermione brushed the conditioner and shampoo through her hair thoroughly and used the soap given to her. They smelled glorious. The conditioner smelled like tangerines, the shampoo smelled like roses, and the soap smelled like strawberries.

Moments later Hermione came through the bathroom doors wearing the white towel around her. She found Katherine and Ginny gossiping by the fire. Katherine glanced over to Hermione and grinned.

"Came out to get clothes." Mumbled Hermione going to her bureau.

"Hold it right there Granger." Squealed Ginny running towards her.

Hermione stared at her friends that were running for her burue. "What?" asked Hermione baffled.

"It's a weekend." Said Katherine simply.

"So?"

"Weekends means you can dress casually WITHOUT your school robes."

Hermione stared at Katherine who was smiling happily while twirling a strand of her loose hairs that came out from her bun.

"So..." Hermione began slowly.

"Don't you want to NOT wear your robes?" asked Katherine.

"Well, I don't know. I've been used to wearing my robes all the time."

Katherine stared at her disbelievingly. Then she looked at Ginny whom was already rummaging through Hermione's bureau.

"Virginia, I think we have our work cut out for us."

"You can say that again." Said Ginny holding up a pair of pink bunny skivvies that belonged to Hermione.

"I got them when I was younger..." Said Hermione blushing.
