Beautiful
I sat in my room the next day, reading one of my favorite books. No matter how much I change my looks I'm still the same Hermione. It was a Muggle book. It was about a girl, a bookworm, who changes her looks and becomes popular. She gets involved in a terrible accident and gets severe burns and has to adjust to living her life differently.
Sort of like me. I thought. With the exception of the accident of course.
"Hey, Hermione." Ron said, walking into the room. "Mum told me to tell you that breakfast is ready. Do you want to go get our school stuff today? Ginny can't come so it's just going to be you and me."
"Sure."
After breakfast we went to Diagon Alley. Ginny said she was going to meet some friends there later so she didn't come with us. Maybe she was trying to get us alone again.
Since I spent a lot of money on my makeover, I was sort of on a budget. Sure I had enough for everything I needed, but I couldn't get as many new books as I normally do. Maybe I'll ask my mum and dad for a little bit of spending money.
First thing we did was go for ice cream. We had peanut butter and strawberry ice cream at Florean's. "So when's Harry coming to Grimmauld" I asked laughing at Ron who's ice cream was melting faster than he could eat it, he had ice cream on his hands and wiped them on his blue plaid shirt.
"Tonight, I think. I heard Moody say he was going to go with Tonks and Lupin."
"I'm gonna go get some more napkins." I said as a small bit of ice cream fell onto his sweater.
"You don't have to." Ron told me.
I walked to the counter and asked Florean for some napkins. "Thank you." I said, when he gave me more than enough napkins.
"Granger?" I looked and saw Draco sitting alone in the corner of the room. I walked over. "What" I asked.
He looked at me, up and down, making me feel so uncomfortable that I almost wished he would insult me instead. Would everyone look at me like that?
"You clean up good, Granger. What' s with the change?"
"None of your business, Malfoy."
He looked past me at Ron. "All that for Weasley? You'd think after all that work you did on yourself you'd be after someone more important."
"Like you?" I asked. "In your dreams."
"Nightmares, Granger, nightmares."
"Right." I said and nodded slowly. I walked back to our table and slammed the napkins on the table.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked.
"It's Draco." I said, looking in the corner of the room where he was sitting.
"What'd he do." Ron asked. How would I put into words how I felt? "Did he insult you?"
"No, he-" I couldn't think of how to put it.
"I'm going over there." He said and got up from his chair.
"Ron sit down." I hissed, he ignored me and kept on going. Everyone was watching, I ran up to Ron but I couldn't get the words out. Ron punched him in the eye. I grabbed Ron's arm, trying to get him to stop. "Ron, don't." I yelled. I was oddly reminded of the time before our second year when Arthur and Lucius got in a fight in Flourish and Blotts. A few minutes later, Florean came out of the back, dropping a large tub of ice cream. "Out, all three of you." He yelled.
We all left in a hurry, someone waved Draco over and I steered Ron the other way. Ron had his arm draped over me for support , when Draco pushed him he hit his ankle on the wooden table and fell backwards. I found a bench and me and Ron sat down.
"Ron." I said, pointing to his nose. He had a nose bleed.
He put his head back, resting it on the bench, so he could only see the sky. I was glad he did that when he did. I didn't notice before but the girl who had waved Draco over, that was now kissing him, is Ginny.
