Chapter 2- The First Day Of Beauty
As Hermione closed Snape's classroom door behind her, she felt as if everybody's attention was directed at her. She smiled triumphantly as she walked down the hall, letting every comment people were making as she walked sink deep in.
"Oh my gosh…"
"She's beautiful!"
"What's her name?"
"Is she new?"
So this is what it feels like, she thought. It was breakfast time, so as she normally did she walked into the Great Hall and towards the Gryffindor table. Various people were turning around and staring at her. She laughed silently to herself as a Hufflepuff boy sat wide eyed staring at her, and the girl sitting next to him noticed this and promptly hit his shoulder. This is good…really good.
She then spotted Ron and Harry and plopped herself down across from then.
"Mornin' Hermione," Ron said without looking up. Him and Harry were nose deep into the current Daily Prophet paper. Hermione felt annoyed at their not noticing her change and peered over the table to see what they were so interested in. She read the article title and frowned.
'Ten Ways To Remove An Unwanted Gnome'
Hermione felt herself get even more irritated. Great, she thought. They are more interested in the Daily Prophet when there is no real news than even acknowledge I'm around.
"Ahem…" Hermione coughed to make them look up. Harry was the only one to do so, and looked up momentarily, then down again. He then paused a second, eye brows scrunched and shot his head up again. He stared at her, eyes wide, and elbowing Ron to look up. To Hermione's amusement, Ron did the same as Harry and briefly looked up, then looked down to appear once more with a shocked expression.
"What-" Harry started, with his mouth hanging open.
"-Did you do?" Ron finished. Ron's bottom lip quivered slightly and Harry picked up a piece of bacon, not taking his eyes off Hermione.
"Whatever are you two talking about?" Hermione played dumb. She was not going to let her secret of the beauty potion run around school. She wanted people to believe that had just never looked at her good enough before.
"You you! Your pretty." Ron said exasperatedly. Hermione frowned at this and felt in a way insulted.
"Ronald Weasley! You act as if you have never seen me before in your life! I must say you should get your eyes checked more often." Hermione said knowingly. She smiled to herself and knew that Ron was gullible enough to really believe he had just not looked at her well enough before, even if he had known her for 5 years.
Harry just looked at her with a look of 'something's going on and your not fooling me' expression. Hermione just smiled at him and proceeded to eat her breakfast. She wasn't going to let Harry ruin her fun.
After breakfast they all made their way to their first class, Potions with Professor Snape. As they walked through the halls it seemed everybody had to comment on Hermione's new beauty. Ron didn't catch on but Harry seemed to know what was going on.
"Hermione, you sure you didn't put a spell on yourself or something?" Harry asked as the turned a corner.
"Oh Harry, why would I do a stupid thing like that? I mean, if I got caught I would most surely get expelled." Hermione responded. She did however, sneak into Snape's office and he did catch her, but no, she didn't get expelled. She wished she could tell Harry all of this, but it would ruin all of her fun.
They then reached Snape's classroom but stopped when they reached a group of Slytherans, and notably, talking loudly about Hermione.
"Yeah, Draco, I saw her, and man, she was pretty!" Goyle gushed.
"Come off it Goyle! Granger, pretty?" Draco retorted, scolding his friend
"I'd like to see her be pretty. Hah, through those knots she considers hair?" Pansy laughed.
They all laughed and continued to mock her. Hermione then decided to push her way through the group, breaking apart their convorsation and leaving them with confused looks on their face.
"What do you think your doing?" Malfoy yelled at Hermione who was just about to enter the classroom, and obviously not realizing who she was. She spun around and marched up to him
"Draco Malfoy I will not be talked about like that!" Hermione yelled at him. In return she expected to be called 'mudblood' or him to mock her in some way which he always did. But this time he didn't. He just stood there, eyes wide in shock. He then shook his head and looked at her again, as if expecting her to change back to her normal self and say 'April fools!'. But Hermione stayed the same, she stayed her new beautiful self and Draco didn't know what to say. So much that he just motioned for his friends and walked around her and into the classroom, leaving Hermione standing in the hallway somewhat disappointed. She took a deep breathe and walked towards the classroom. By this time next week, he's going to ask me to the Yule Ball…he's just got to. She whispered under her breath.
