Must warn you I can be very obsessed with clothes as you may see in this chapter.

"Oh, umm. Over there. One with the blonde hair." Hermione pointed and Mina looked, then started squealing with delight
"Cute or what, Hermione!" Unfortunately for Hermione most of the school had been listening in on the conversation and was looking at them with amusement. Hermione was still pointing and everyone looked at who she was pointing at, who was smirking proudly. Mina, however, had other plans. She got up from her seat, walked across the room, bent down and whispered something in his ear which made him flush (Boys can't blush, course otherwise they sound like girls.) She also dropped something in his lap as she walked back across the room, grinning proudly.
"What did you do?" Asked Hermione, as Mina sat down.
"Oh, nothing. Just dropped him a compliment." Hermione didn't pursue the questioning because she'd just noticed food appear in front of her. Tomato soup. Her favourite. Mina looked quite happy with herself enjoying all the boys in the room's attention, though Ginny wasn't.
She'd been trying to get Harry's attention back since they'd walked through the door Mina seemed to notice and said
"Umm, you," Pointing at Harry "someone wants you." Harry looked at Ginny then back to Mina blushing (Well, except Harry).
"So Mina tell us about the lake and your self." Parvati asked, who was sitting a couple of seats away.
"Well, I'm like their princess down there because I'm the leading woman's daughter, and because I am I get to go everywhere with her. Sometimes the giant squid comes to our kingdom and so they all have to chase her."
"Her?" Ron interrupted.
"Yes, her. She couldn't be a boy since she gave birth last month."
"Oh, great. The lakes going to be filled with squids."
"No it won't. We were going to force her to make the babies go away but instead my mum made a deal with her. She can keep them until they can look after themselves, then they have to leave." Mina gabbled on like this through bites of chicken, bred and chips. When Dessert arrived, Mina couldn't talk. She loved it. There was ice cream, strawberry gateau, chocolate gateau, chocolate eclairs, etc. She gobbled down mouthfuls until Hermione stood up.
"See you tomorrow. Bye." Hermione left with Mina sailing behind her. They made their way up to their dormitory, where an extra bed had been put. Hermione put her nightie on (lacy, black) and through a other nightie (satin, white) in the bathroom where Mina was having a wash. They talked for awhile then went sleep.
A girl with long black hair was walking towards the Forbidden Forest. Her long black dress swayed in the wind. Her feet seemed to draw her along to the forest. Behind her was a huge stone castle, with music plying softly inside it. The girl shivered as she entered. Around her shadows lurked near trees, watching her. She didn't know whether they were just shadows or creatures or humans. Then she heard voices. Not just normal speaking voices though. Screams and laughter. She looked around trying to figure where she'd come from but it seemed her feet had brought her off the path so she went and hid behind a rock ledge, just near where the screams were. Out of curiosity she looked over the ledge and was horrified by what she saw.
Hermione woke with a scream. Her whole body was sweating and she was scared. Mina came into view above her.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing. Just a bad dream." She said through gasps for air.
"Ok." Mina said, sounding rather unconvinced. Then she went back to bed. Hermione couldn't get to sleep. The dream seemed so real. She tried to remember what she'd seen beyond the ledge, but she couldn't. She only got to sleep hours later.
She woke late again the next morning. She pulled back the curtains to find Mina's bed empty. Then she heard the shower.
"Mina?" she called.
"Yes?" Mina's voice replied. "Oh, nothin'. Just wanted to know you were still here." Hermione had completely forgotten about her dream. She was focusing on what to wear.
"Mina, what shall I wear?"
"Anything baggy." Came a quick answer. Hermione grinned. Now she had an idea. She pulled out of the wardrobe a pair of baggy blue jeans, with a black top with a silver skull on it. She pulled on a pair of brown hiking boots with spikes on the bottom. She pulled her hair into a tight bun and accessorised by putting a large black belt with a spider on the buckle and put enchanted spider clips in it so they'd run around her hair. Finally, she put a dog collar around her neck and wrist. When she looked in the mirror, she realised that something was missing. Make-up. How could she forget make up? She put some black lipstick and some mascara.
Just then Mina came out of the bathroom. Even though she was wearing baggy clothes she still looked fantastic. She reminded Harry of the muggle popstar Avril Lavenge in her video `Complicated` (Look at the video it's the bit where she's singing in the Skate Park, not the shopping mall.)
They made their way to the Great Hall and entered, sitting down at Gryffindor table. Luckily, they'd been so late only a few others were there. No one bothered looking up at first but then Pansy Parkinson looked and started nudging and whispering cause those on her table to look at them. Harry and Ron looked as well and they stared for ages, causing Ginny to notice and then everyone looked. They began to eat and chatted with the others.
After History of Magic and Arithmancy Mina and Hermione was on their way to dinner, when they noticed a crowd of people around the notice board. They went up to Lavender and Parvati, who were just about to go into the Great Hall.
"What was on the notice board?" Hermione asked them.
"Hogsmeade visit. This Saturday and there was another notice saying that a body shop just opened there. Mum says it does piercing. I might get my ears pierced!" Lavender exclaimed.
"Wow, Maybe I'll get my stomach button done. How about you, Mina?" Hermione exclaimed.
"I don't know. Ill have to ask my mum." Mina sighed.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, Its just. mermaids have very sensitive skin."
"Oh." Hermione shrugged.
The week passed quickly and before anyone one knew it, the weekend was upon them. Hermione and Mina dressed quickly (Hermione, black jeans and black skull top with black trainers, black lipstick. Mina, tight blue jeans and silver top black skull with same shoes and make up as Hermione.)And went to breakfast. People had stopped gawking at them, but looked up just to see what they were wearing. Mina got permission from her mother, who said she could have as many piercings as she wanted. They joined Parvati and Lavender, then went to Hogsmeade. They decided to go to the new body shop first, so they had longer to pick earrings and beat the queues.
