- Good Night Big Harry - Annie said smiling, Harry flashed them a warm smile before going into his room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry woke up with a smile on his face. He remembered last night's events when he and Hermione shared a hug and the warmth that he felt was unexplainable.
Unbelievable the feeling that his best friend made him feel with just a simple hug. Never in his life would he have imagined that it was Hermione who was going to make him feel this way. He got up and out of his bed to rest for a while in the common room.
As Harry rested he saw Hermione descending down the stairs in her uniform with her books in her hand.
- Hi Harry- she said while wiping some of the tiredness out of her eyes.
-Hey Mione, Lets go meet Ron and Lavender down in the Great Hall- he said walking up to her.
Harry and Hermione walked together to the Great Hall talking about what to expect for their next special lesson and who they thought would be the teacher. They reached the table and sat down.
They both saw Ron, Lavender and Annie laughing at something. Harry decided to ask what was so funny.
Hey Ron, what's funny that all three of you are laughing- Harry asked looking perplexed.
- Well he said in between laughs. Little Annie here, hahahaha, told us about your little hug last night, hahahaha.- Ron said while pointing at Harry and Mione.
The funny thing is that our plan worked. You guys are friends again, hahahaha-Ron said looking at Harry and Hermione's priceless faces while they blushed.
- And is that supposed to be funny - Hermione said, with a confused look on her face. The four of them just burst out laughing at this.
That day also went by smoothly, eventless, nothing happened besides them getting a short quiz in History of Magic about goblins and rebellions.
After saying goodbye to Lavender Harry, Ron and Hermione, (More of a kiss from Ron's part) headed to the Charms classroom once again...Hearts beating faster, their other previous lessons hadn't been that good, they ended up rather tired.
They entered the room, and they all gave a collective sigh. It was Tonks, with a tiny mirror in her hands. She put it aside once she saw they were all there before hugging each of them.
- Hi!!! Haven't seen you guys in so long!!- She said while smiling cheerfully.
- Yeah, it's been a long time indeed - Harry said admiring her, she was the same spiked up bubble pink hair, thin complexion and a smile on her face.
- So is the Order still looking after Harry??- Ron asked - are they all ok???
- Well, of course, they are all taking turns as always, as a matter of fact today it was your father who was in charge of it, and yes they are all ok. But no matter, we wont want to waist our time, now lets get this over with!!- She said clapping her hands so that three long carpets would appear on the floor.
Tonks sat down Indian style followed by the trio. They all sat down creating a circle; Harry was in the middle of Ron and Hermione, and Tonks beside Ron.
- Hermione, lets start with you- Tonks said - I want you to think of your hair, its a lovely brown color, but think of how it would look if it were blonde, concentrate ok.
Hermione nodded, and closed her eyes and shut tight. After a couple of seconds her hair became a little lighter but not blonde and it became shorter, she then opened her eyes and her hair went back to normal.
Ohhh well - Tonks said - You've got the gift, I'm going to be able to teach you.
Now Harry (she looked at Harry) I want you to think of your eyes. Think of another eye color, lets say, blue, and imagine yourself with that eye color.
Harry closed his eyes and his thoughts quickly forwarded to little Annie's piercing blue eyes. He concentrated hard, his eyes became heavy, and he was still trying to remember the exact color.
The tone, of Annie's eyes, his head spinning... it stopped and he then opened his eyes and everyone gasped, Tonks smiled.
- Wicked Harry!!!- Ron said clapping Harry on the back- bloody brilliant!
- Did it work?? - Harry asked, he then noticed Hermione still gapping at him, he looked at her.
- Wow - she said - same color as Annie's eyes...
Harry smiled and felt a little headache and his eyes became blurry, he then rubbed them and when he opened them, his vision was clear again.
- Well, we know for sure that you will be able to transform fully- Tonks said smiling - hmm if I'm not mistaken I'd swear something like this had happened to you before...
- My hair grew back again after my aunt cut it once - Harry said frowning at the unpleasant memory.
- Ok come here Ron- Tonks said while setting down the mirror. Now Ron I want you to think about your freckles. Think of a face without freckles a nice clean face. Ron closed his eyes and he thought about Lavender's soft clean face.
He thought about it long and hard. He then opened his eyes to see if he had changed anything, Tonks said:
-Well at least you got half of your face cleared, but don't worry, by the time we're done all three of you will be able to change any part of your body(A/N: No and not like that you nasty minded people) she said pointing at the Trio - Ohhh and Harry, you will be able to take off that scar of yours if you wish.
-Well that will be all for today's lesson - Tonks said while putting on her cloak, and changing her hair to black shoulder length hair. Her eyes were a weird gray and her face a little different. She waved at them and stormed out of the room, Harry, Ron and Hermione went out the room and Headed to nowhere in particular.
- Hermione!!- Annie said running towards them, she caught up with them breathless - tomorrow * deep breath* Hogsmead day *breathe* fantastic idea my big old sister...
Hermione smiled - yeah, how about we go shopping, only you and me??? You can help me pick my dress, and how about a broom for you???
Annie looked delighted - YAY!!!!!
Harry and Ron shook their heads and shrugged.
*~*~*~*~*~ HERMIONES POV *~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up the very next day, with something jumping in my bed, as I take the sheets away from my face, I find myself looking up at my little sister Annie jumping on my bed screaming.
- Get up!!!- She said insisting - HOGSMEAD DAY!!! LA LA LA!!!
- Go away midget - I mumbled trying to get back to sleep.
She kept jumping and screaming, I groaned, I mean I loved my sister dearly, but I hated being awakened.
- Alright!! - I say in defeat throwing my hands up in the air- I'm up!!
I looked at her, as she stopped jumping and sat down on the edge of my bed. She was all dressed up, in tight black jeans and a cute pink shirt that said I'm a brat in big red letters, with little flowers. She was nothing like I was during those innocent years. But that was the problem, my sister doesn't seem to be innocent at all, and I chuckled.
That's for sure- I whispered to myself smiling heading to my trunk. I took out some tight low rise jeans, and a nice blue shirt. I also took out a black belt and some nice black shoes. Then I was on my way to the bathroom.
*~*~*~*~*~* NORMAL POV*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione took her bath, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, put on her clothes and went to her room, she rolled her eyes as her sister said.
- Wow sis that's a cool outfit, who's it for, Harry? - She said chuckling.
- Midget, I don't like Harry and this outfit is for me not for him get that through your little brain- she said taking her black cloak.
Annie didn't seem to notice her remark because she was jumping on her bed singing - Harry and Hermione sitting on a tree KG.
- Annie PLEASE SHUT UP -Hermione said throwing her scarf at Annie. Annie kept laughing; as she caught the scarf and stuck her tongue out at Hermione, she threw the scarf back at her sister.
-Ok - said Annie finally jumping out of bed - Lets go downstairs, everyone is waiting...And Harry is too...
Hermione gave a big sigh before following her sister that was already down stairs.
-Lets hurry up! - said Ron putting an arm around Lavender, his face glowing with happiness.
- Sorry I was late!!- Hermione declared -I was just...
Harry stood up from his seat and put a book he had been reading aside. He turned around to face Hermione; he suddenly looked amazing standing there with his green sweater and his faded jeans. He awaited me with a big smile.
Hermione just stared before smiling and turning to look at Ron and Lavender.
- I was just finishing getting ready - she said walking towards the portrait whole - Let's go shall we... Everyone nodded and exited the room, Annie in front.
They all got a Horseless Carriage and commented the possibilities of Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup all the way to Hogsmead.
-We, the ladies are going to go together - Lavender said matter of factly after they all got out of the carriage, she added pointing at Ron and Harry- while you two do what you wish, but be sure to buy dress robes....
- Yes ma'am, see you later in the Three Broomsticks. - Ron said nodding and smiling giving Lavender a kiss on the cheek.
- Bye!! - Lavender waved making her way down Diagon Alley as the boys disappeared inside Zonkos.
- Umm ...where are we going then??- asked Hermione looking over at Lavender who flashed a smile.
To get the dresses of course!!!- Lavender and Annie said in unison, and then giggled. Hermione sighed; this was going to be a long day. Hermione was dragged all morning by Lavender and Annie to different dress stores. Trying on dress after dress and not liking any of them.
Lavender couldn't find a dress either she always spotted flaws in them. Annie couldn't go to the ball so she didn't get a dress.
- Ok this is the last store in the Alley with dresses, let's just pray there's something in their - Lavender said, her hopes fading by looking at the small store.
As they walked in they gasped in unison. The store was huge, HUGE. There must have been at least 200 dresses in different rows. There were 2 walls full of different types of shoes, most of them sandals.
Another section was jewelry and accessories, the walls were painted a soft lilac color, everything neat and clean. There were also girls in white uniforms which were all around helping girls try on different things.
A cute blonde girl, around 18 years old, came up to them. She was dressed in the white clothes; she smiled warmly before saying very formally:
- Good morning, and welcome to M&A Robes for all occasions. I myself am here to help any of you ladies who are to buy dresses.
- Don't need to be so formal - Lavender said smiling - call me Lavender. - Nice to meet you Lavender, I'm Diana - said the girl sighing with relief and smiling - thank god you aren't one of those snobby girls at Hogwarts ... and who are you two??
- I'm Hermione - Hermione said shaking her hand - and this, is my sister Annie- Hermione added pointing at Annie.
- Wonderful- Diana said smiling - so did you wanted to buy something?
I heard Hogwarts is having a ball tomorrow, maybe a dress for it??
- Yes - said Lavender - We would like some dresses.
The girl smiled and dragged them into the rows of dresses; it was like a dream come true. Beautiful dresses everywhere, after a couple of minutes of searching, Diana stopped in front of a very expensive looking dress.
Though there was one special one it was midnight blue, it couldn't be described, it was simply spectacular.
- How about this one for you??- Diana said eyeing Lavender up and down to see if it will look good on her, then she smiled.
- It looks fairly expensive - Lavender said now looking a bit shy.
- Ohhh no dear, there are generous discounts on Hogwarts students, it wont cost much more than 10 galleons.
- Right then - said Lavender taking the dress with extreme carefulness and going to the dressers that were in the back of the store.
- Now, for you Hermione - Diana said thinking for a moment and then she turned and entered the third row of dresses, followed by Hermione and a hyper Annie.
