Just a Tiny, Tiny, Favor

Melanie woke up in the hospital wing the next morning. Next to her, were some get-well cards.

Awwww... Draco sent me a card. Lets see, who else is here. Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Well, that's nice.

The door opened in the way that doors open. Draco stepped out, and CLOSED the door. "Hey, how you doing?" Draco cocked an eyebrow. "I dunno, did Madame Pomfrey figure out what was wrong with me?" she asked innocently. "Not yet." he responded. "Oh, well that's all right, I'm sure it'll be fine soon. On the other hand I have to miss all my classes till who knows when so could you-

She was cut off by a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" asked Draco. "Come in!" she called. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, walked in. An idea struck Melanie. "Oh hey guys, what's up?" she asked. But no one was paying attention to her.

"What are you doing here?" they all asked at the same time. "What, can't I come visit a member of my own house?" said Draco. "Well, we are visiting our friend." They shot back.

"Well, if you're supposedly visiting me, aren't you supposed to be paying attention to me," Melanie cried, "anyway, Draco, as I was saying, since I don't know when they will let me out of here, I obviously can't go to classes, can you pick up my homework for the classes we have together? Thanks you're a doll. Oh, also Hermione, since you're in the rest of my classes could you possibly get that part of my homework too? Thanks, then you guys can get together in the library and then bring it here. Thank both you guys so much. And thank all of you for the cards, but I am tired now, and I want to get back to sleep, thanks."

They all stood there, mouths open, staring. "Wait!" Hermione tried to refuse, but Melanie had already fallen asleep.

Later on that afternoon, another visitor went to the hospital wing to visit Melanie. "Hello Melanie, I hope you're well?" asked Professor Dumbledore. "Yep, all's in order." She said. "Now would you mind telling me what this ordeal with you passing out is please?" said the Professor. "Oh, it's all part of my plan. I was planning on doing something, but I've decided to put it off for a bit, and do something else. "And, Professor, I need to take a while off my classes, and stay here in the hospital wing. But, no one must know I'm not sick, otherwise, it might not work." "All right then Melanie. I trust your judgment. But, I prefer that you not take too many days of your studies. We would not want you to miss too many classes, now would we?" "No Professor, of course not." "Professor, is it possible to do some sort of spell, to give one person an idea?" "That would be called an Iriedicus charm. Why? Who is it for?" "It's for Hermione, tell me, would you happen to know if she and Draco are in the library?"

"Well, Granger, Lets try to get this over with as quickly as possible shall we?" said Draco. "Of course. The less I'm in your presence, the better Malfoy." chided Hermione. "Yeah, whatever Granger." They worked quiet politely after this, and proceeded in getting Melanie's homework finished, but after that, Hermione couldn't resist herself, and had to ask the question on everyone's mind: "Malfoy, why are you such an ass?" "Because it goes with my looks." "Ah, so are you saying you look like crap?" Which wasn't true. At all. "Not at all. You'd be admitting you were awfully stupid not to know what I meant." And then, an idea struck Hermione out of the blue. "Well, how about a dare?" "Oh, I can't wait to hear this. I never could turn down a good dare." "All right then. I dare you to let me give you a makeover, and then you have to act nice to everyone, all the time, for the rest of the year." "Or?" he inquired. "Or, I get to give you have to go out with ...Luna Lovegood!!!" "Fine, but, when do I get the makeover?" "Right now!"

About two hours later, Hermione and Draco were in the room of requirement, looking at Draco's dreamy new haircut. It was no longer wavy, and it was instead of platinum blonde, it was a bit darker, more of a light golden color, with a few highlights here and there. It was now cut, down to his ears, but cut shorter nearer to his face. In the front, it reached about mid-forehead, and was made messy by a much smaller amount of hair gel, instead of long and slicked back. He looked very much a Californian surfer. "All right, starting tomorrow, you have to be nice. To everyone!" said Hermione (insert evil laugh here) "Yes, I'll be nice to everyone," repeated Draco.

Ravyn, Queen of Shadow- no, sorry, fairy glitter doesn't make you fly. That's the floating powder. But, now you also get some pink glitter, for your attire, for reviewing!!! Yay!! It decorates, your clothes!! I'm glad u thought it was funny, I was worried people would think it was cheesy. Keep reviewing!! Good-times22-I'm glad you like this, no, she didn't hurt her head obviously but, you can have some pink glitter and fairy dust for reviewing!! Keep reviewing!!

A/N- the whole thing with the dare, was all part of Melanie's plan, and that was what the charm was for, to plant the idea in Hermione's head. Also, just in case anyone thinks that Draco is Ooc for sending Melanie the card, think. She is in Slytherin, and, she's magic. Go, back, and reread chapter one. Or, the summary. Anyway, Floating Powder, for whoever reviews!!!!!
