Chapter 4

What Ever

When Hermione got to the common room the next morning she found her friends Ron and Harry sitting on the couch talking about Quidditch. The rest of the Gryffindor team was there too.

"Who do you think we should ask to try-out?" said Ron to Oliver Wood. {AN: I know he graduated but my story my rules!!~}

"I really don't know but we need to find a chaser soon." Said Oliver in a very sad tone.

Hermione was listening to the boys ramble on about who should try and when should they ask them. Hermione got an idea.

"Harry" Hermione said to him very quietly cause he was right beside her.

"Maybe I could try-out for the team?" Harry looked at her and laughed really hard that he fell of the couch. Then Harry told everyone else what she had said and they to began to laugh.

"We're not that desperate" said George through his laughter. Most of had clamed down but then would just start laughing again.

"Thank you for the offer Hermione but we need some that a) Can Fly a broom with out falling off b) Knows how to play Quidditch and last but not least some who doesn't read 24/7." Said Ron in a very humorous tone.

By now Hermione was beyond pissed. She felt like she could light them on fire with one stare.

"Fine. You know what your right." Said Hermione she got up to find Millicent. She had a plan that she had been thinking up for a long time. Now she had made the decision to go through with it. But she needed the help of her female friends first. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She found them heading out to the pitch. They all had their brooms and a wad of clothing with them.

"Mina. We were just coming to get you." Said Amy in a cheery voice. All the girls looked like they were hiding something.

"Do ya wanna come practice with us?" asked Millicent in a coy way.

"Are you sure that would be okay with your team captain?" said Hermione in a shocked voice. She new that Malfoy had taken over being captain last year when Mark had cost them the cup by beating the crap out of Oliver 30 minutes into the game.

"He won't care cause he won't know." Said Natasha in a clam cool firm voice.

"Well in that case, how could I say no to my good friends?" said Hermione acting all innocent.

"There is only one problem with the picture before us." Said Natasha to the girls. Hermione gave them a questioning look before she was pulled into the girls change room.

Millicent pulled two large bundles from under her arm. One was wrapped in paper and the other she put aside before Hermione could see it. 'Wonder what their up too?' thought Hermione.

"We thought that since you play Quidditch should look like a Quidditch player." With that Amy handed Hermione the wrapped up bundle. "Well open it." Urged Natasha. So Hermione ripped off the paper really fast to find a brand new set of Slytherin Quidditch robes.

"Wow these are awesome. These are a lot nicer than the Gryffindor ones." Hermione said as she was still in awe. It felt nice to know that people actually liked her enough to do something like this.

She put them on without hesitation. She didn't even care that this maybe considered treason against her own house. All she cared about was that someone finally saw past the books and saw her for who she was and liked it.

"Lookin good Mina" said Millicent after a very long catcall. "I think you were put in the wrong house." Amy's hand shot up to her mouth after she said that. All the girls waited for her to get mad and yell at them but she didn't she laughed and said.........

"You know what I agree with you!" Hermione was shocked along with the other girls at her true feelings.

After the girls had finished practicing Hermione asked Millicent to stay behind so she could talk to her.

"What do you need to talk about?" said Millicent in a concerned tone. Hermione smiled at her new friend.

"I was wonder if you would help me with a little prank I want to play on the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" said Hermione really quiet.

"I would love to. But why would you want to play one on your own house?" said a happy but confused Millicent.

"I have my reason but I can tell you I will give you all of the credit." Millicent thought about this.

"That sounds awesome. They will never know that you were involved!" They high fived and then went to catch up to the others. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Right before dinner Hermione went to her room to get her stuff. On the way there she heard what sounded like crying coming from one of the younger grade dormitories.

Being who she was she went to find out where and who it was coming from. She opened the door to find her good friend Ginny Weasley sitting on her bed crying.

Hermione ran over to her and pulled back the curtains on her bed. She was a mess her make-up was smeared all across her face and her hair was a complete mess.

"Oh my God. Ginny what happened??" Hermione said as she put an arm across her shoulder.

"Parvatii and Lavender got mad at me so they embarrassed me in front of the whole common room full of people." Said Ginny who now had stopped crying.

"So they do that to everyone." Said Hermione in a way that would not insult her for crying.

"That's not the worst part though. All the guys were in the room and now they all know my secret. Even Ron and Harry made fun of me till I ran off crying!" This for some reason didn't shock Hermione. They seemed to be more cruel and heartless lately.

"Ginny do you want to help me play a very mean and funny prank on the boys?" Ginnny looked at her through her red eyes and said "Hell Yes!"

"Good I need you to get word out to everyone to bring their cameras to dinner tonight." Ginny gave her a funny look but got up to do so.

"Ginny before you go I would like to know what the secret was, if you don't mind." Said Hermione really slowly.

"That I have a baby blanket and sleep with a teddy bear." Said Ginny while looking at her feet.

"Is that it well then I will bring a very interesting picture of Parvatii and Lavender to dinner for everyone to see." Hermione had and evil look in her eyes as she said this.

"Just to let you know Hermione I really like the new you no matter what anyone says." Said Ginny in a sincere tone.

"Thanks Ginny. You don't know how much that means to me. Now go get word out before I kick your butt." Said Hermione

Both girls went their different ways. Ginny to spread the news and Hermione to her room to hid her new robes. She didn't want anyone to find them and cause more problems then she needed!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
