She looked out into the street. Ever since her family had moved to America, everything had changed. Her hair was cut above her cheekbone in angles and had green highlights (green is her favorite color). Her stomach was flat and her chest had grown from a 32a to a (pick a size-JooD) (which she had worked hard for). Her ears and stomach were pierced, and found out that she was adopted, which brought more changes than you can imagine.

"C'mon Artemis, lets get your stuff ready"

The girl scanned the room to see what she was looking for. An almond colored owl hooted as she flew in through the window and a snake slithered out from under her bed, followed by a small cub. The owl, Aphrodite, was an early sweet 16 present from Harry and Ron. When she had found out who her father was, a secret admirer had sent her a newborn lioness, whom she named Athena. The strange thing, though, was her snake, Artemis. One afternoon, she came home to find an egg on her pillow. As she cautiously walked to it, it hatched. She walked over to the mirror to check herself out. not only did she give herself changes, but she got some too. One time, when she looked into the mirror, instead of pupils and irises, she had cat-like slits in her eyes.

Sometimes, she would find herself talking to and understanding Artemis (parseltongue), but it went away as quickly as it came. The biggest change, though, was on the morning of July 2nd, she woke up with three tattoos. The first one was a small lion next to the corner of her left eye with the Leo sign behind it, which she later remembered she had gotten the night before. The second was a coiled green snake that sometimes opened and closed its eyes, which were blood red, which was diagonally below her pierced belly button to the left. The third was what made her pass out. It was the dark mark, except that the eyes of the snake were green and the eyes of the skull were red on her left arm. She had covered it with a patch, making it look like it was an infection.

She stepped back so she could see her outfit. It was a black tube top that said "no guy is worth crying over, and when you meet the right one he wont make you cry", a mini jean skirt, and her favorite black pleather boots that said "PLEATHER" in white letters (going down). She finished the look with blue and white eye shadow, a blue jewel belly ring, clear lip-gloss, and a silver bar in her ear.

'OK, so it's not exactly "a summer outfit", but who knows where I'm going and it is my fave outfit.'

"HEY HERMIONE, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"

Hermione ran down the stairs to be tackled by her six best friends, besides Ron and Harry. The seven had met online and have been best friends since fifth year. They also formed a band and practiced through magic (they're all witches and wizards, and live in America...DUH!)

"Do you really have to leave us Crabby?"(A/N Hermione- hermy- hermit- hermit crab- crabby) Judy said. Judy was the drummer and Hermione's best girl friend.

"Yea, we love you too much for you to go" Judy's older brother (by one year), Rocco, said. He wasn't in the band, but came to all the practices, I wonder why (;-)).

"And Rory pines for you when you're away" Rory's sister, Dana, joked. Rory and Dana were twins. Dana was a guitarist and Rory did whatever, from Keyboardist to DJ to infinity and beyond (LOL I couldn't resist).

"Hardy har har" Rory said.

"WE got you something," Derek said. Derek was the bass player and a TOTAL hottie. He handed Hermione an envelope.

"Yea, but don't open it until you get to your dad's house" Lisa told Hermione. Lisa wasn't in the group, but it was SO obvious that she was crushing on Rocco.

"I love you guys so much! But ill see you tomorrow, at the beach" Hermione reassured them.

"We know, but we love you so much, you dirty hoe"(A/N the Cat in the Hat!!!!!! I luuuuuuuuuuuv Dr. Seuss, even though he didn't write that line) Judy joked.

"I hate to do this guys, but you have to leave, I'm still not packed and my ride will be here any minute"

Everyone left (except Hermione, DUH) with big hugs (cause Crabby no go bye bye, I luv u 10A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

A green fire lit and a dark hooded figure stepped out.

"Come along mistress, the Dark Lord awaits"
