A/N: Finally the first and official chapter is up. Well, I probably won't write any disclaimer because I already wrote it in the first chapter of this whole thing and it applies to this whole story. Well, I have a few comments to make.
Ahint: Well, I assure you some things. Yes at some points I'm following what you wrote about, but hey...not all and I may open up from the pts you made. Not everybody is perfect in some ways or another. There may be comments on how HG will look so beautiful, but they do not know what works within. Why she looks almost perfect is written in the first sentence of this chapter. Haha… I can't tell you anything further or it'll spoil the story. It is classic, but not till the full extent of it.
Readying upConcealing her bruises (which she gotten from fighting with a rival gang of girls) with magic yet again, she stepped out of her bathroom and went over to her wardrobe. Pulling out a black tube top laced with silver and gold, bottom flare mud jeans and a leather jacket, she started putting it on her body. Placing an earring that hooks unto her ear then laced over to her nose and also another earring that matches the other except that it does not have the lace on her ear. Hermione did not put any make-up on herself for she still felt that make up just ruins her complexion, giving it more wrinkles. She still preferred the natural style.
Finishing up, Hermione took her trunk –-which was loaded with school stuff and clothes- and her carry bag out. Walking down the stairs quietly, she opened the front door with her free hand and stepped outside. Closing the door as quietly as possible, she then flipped out her mobile phone and started calling one of her friends that she newly made during the course of summer.
"Hello, Rea, this is Hermione here," Hermione spoke, "I'm going off to the Leaky Cauldron now. Do you want to follow me?"
"Of course!" Rea answered enthusiastically through her phone. "See you there!"
Okay then, Hermione thought, off to the Leaky Cauldron.
She stuck out her wand and soon enough, a big bang sounded and out came a huge purple vehicle known as the Knight bus.
Hermione boarded the bus and automatically gave seven sickles to Stan.
"Hello Stan," Hermione said. "And don't ask about the outfit. I need rest now. Take me to the Leaky Cauldron."
Stan looked at Hermione before saying, "Sure. Leaky Cauldron coming right up!"
The girl looked at her surroundings and found out that she was the only passenger there. Smiling a little, she walked over to the beds and sat on one before the bus took a turn with another big bang, nearly knocking her over.
Soon, buildings and scenery whiz past her until it came to an abrupt stop. "Leaky Cauldron!" Stan said happily.
"Thank you Stan," Hermione said lunging her trunk down the bus. Once she was down, the bus disappeared.
When she was at the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron, an inn for wizards, somebody suddenly jumped in front of her shouting, "BOO!"
Hermione wasn't scared at all. Definitely. She had gotten used to such sudden interruptions when she was with her new friends. Thus, she turned around calmly and regarded her friend Rea Kesally with mock-iced eyes. "What do you want?"
Rea was taken back by her friend's coldness when she noticed a glint of mischievousness in her eyes. She punched Hermione lightly in the arm before saying, "I came to see you of course. Shop with you before saying goodbye with the rest of the gang."
Hermione turned behind and saw the rest of her friends smiling at her. They must certainly be sight to behold! A whole group of people wearing both real dark and gloomy colours like what Hermione is wearing now, or it was bright colours that could have blind people. Hair in all sorts of positions and colours, make-up on the girls (except Hermione) so extreme and etc. But each of them looked good in what they are wearing.
Even Hermione's hair was different. Gold and blood red highlights rain through her medium length wavy hair. Oh, she got it straightened during the holidays, but not until it was totally straight or it'd look ugly.
"Hey princess! Come on, let's get you and JuLi check in before having some fun!" Matt called out, waving his hands enthusiastically.
Probably trying to hook up some more girls before going back home, Hermione thought.
"Fine, my precious little boy," Hermione replied rolling her eyes before calling out for Tom, the innkeeper.
"Tom, two single bed rooms please," she said.
"May I know what name are both rooms going to be under?" Tom asked while writing information down on a piece of parchment.
"Hermione Granger."
Tom looked at her curiously before saying, "You're Hermione Granger? My Goodness, what happened to you?"
The brunette raised an eyebrow before saying, "Yes I'm Hermione Granger and I think it's not your business to ask me what happened to me."
"Okay then. Go to room 314 and 316, here's the key. It'll be 5 galleons for 2 nights." Tom hurriedly threw the key into her face but she caught it in the nick of time before it crashes into her face. My change sure scared people drastically, Hermione simply thought.
Matt Jones, Vodzn Blake, Hsu Ju Li and Gordon Klein rushed up the stairs to room 314 and 316 before anyone could say 'go'. That left Hermione and Rea standing among the crowded pub looking at each other shaking their heads at their friends' antics.
Slowly, Hermione and Rea walked up the stairs having an animated conversation on what they're going to do when they finally stepped on the pavements of Diagon Alley. Reaching the door of the room, Hermione glanced at the panting four people and unlocked the door. She moved inside and dumped her trunk in front of the dressing table.
Both rooms only consisted of a single bed with beige drapes hanging over it, a minor redwood dressing table with a drawer and a stool, a small bathroom with enough space to only fit a shower room, sink and toilet bowl.
"This inn should certainly keep up their standards. Even a cockroach won't stay here at all," Ju Li said.
The rest agreed.
Hermione sighed, "Forget it, it's not like I'm going to stay here for the rest of my lives. I have a Head Girl bedroom waiting for me in Hogwarts."
Vodzn smiled, "Oh yeah…our darling Lexi is having a wondrous time lounging in her magnificent bedroom while we guys except JuLi of course, are slugging through our pub."
"Oh come one guys, I won't forget you all," Hermione said. "I promise to go and see you all during our Hogmeades weekends."
"We'll hold you onto that then Lexi," Vodzn said. "At 'Rendezvous Game' I presume?"
Hermione nodded.
Gordon clapped his hands together and said, "Okay. Who is up to a day of partying and shopping in Diagon Alley?"
Everybody rushed out of the room in record time and made their way to Diagon Alley.
