Chapter 2: Plans
Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. Her friends had been able to do
the impossible and more. Her hair was finally frizz and knot free. She was
wearing silver small hoop earrings, her silver necklace and a silver ring
for her jewelry. She was wearing a black string bikini with her shortest
jean shorts and her platform sandals. The girls painted her nails a deep
red and gave her a little lip-gloss and eye shadow.
She smiled into the mirror. This was the first makeover that didn't make
her want to tear her hair out, which was in a half messy bun and half down.
The hair that was down was straight until a few inches to the bottom which
was in soft curls.
A big smile came to her face. She jumped up and grabbed her friends in a
hug.
"Thanks guys!" she squealed. "Now lets go to the beach" she said as she
grabbed her bag, which Nina packed.
The girls jumped into Hermione's car, which her parents bought for her for
her sixteenth birthday and drove to the beach.
When they got there, Nina grabbed hers and Hermione's surfboards, Julie
grabbed the towels and umbrella and Nikki grabbed the c.d. player.
"Hey guys!" Jared said as he walked over to the girls. "Joel and Pierre are
chasing after girls and girls are chasing after Chad." He then noticed
Hermione. "Woah! Hermione. Looks like they didn't kill you." He nervously
joked. He liked Hermione for a long time and was taken aback because of how
great she looked.
'She's more beautiful than smart now.' He thought 'I'd better ask her out
soon or else the competition will be too big.'
"Thanks." She said with a big smile. "Um, let's go sit down"
"Yeah" Jared answered. Nina, Nikki and Julia had gone to the boys' towels
as soon as they got to the beach.
The two walked to the rest of their friends. Everyone knew that they both
liked each other, but were too nervous to ask each other out. Jared had had
a bunch of girlfriends in the past, but none of his relationships ever
lasted long. Hermione, o the other hand, had only dated one guy who they
didn't know much about. Everyone was hoping that with Hermione's new
makeover one of them would ask the other out.
Unfortunately, though, neither of them asked the other one out, but they
did decide to go a party tonight. It was at Jared's brother's school,
Smeltings or something.
"Hermione, with your new look the guys will be all over you." Julie said.
Even though she wanted her friends to be together, she still wanted them to
have fun.
"Yeah. When my brother found out that I was bringing friends he was
ecstatic. He even started asking about you girls, saying that his group
'ring leader' was single and he wanted to move up in ranks by getting him a
girlfriend." Jared said. The eight laughed.
"That sounds so much like what goes on at my school" Hermione said,
remembering Malfoy and his cronies.
"Yeah, well, my brother had major dirt on me and my parents would flip if
they found out, and you knew the rest of the story, so he made me promise
to get his group ring leader a date for the party tonight. And he said that
he wanted someone hot and the rest of what perverted guys with lots of
money and 'power' want."
"It would even be funny if one of us dated him and then broke his heart,
making him never trust your brother again" Nikki said. Everyone laughed.
"That would actually be fun" Hermione said. Everyone looked at her with
confused expressions. "I mean, if one of us dated him and stuff, Jared's
brother would 'raise in ranks' for getting the obvious loser a girlfriend,
then whoever does it will dump him as soon as he gets all big headed and
will never trust your brother again and he get what he deserves for trying
to get this out of blackamil"
"Good idea 'Mione. Thanks for volunteering" Julia said.
"WHAT?"
"It was your idea. You should have the honor. And it would give you a
chance to test the new you" Nina said
"Plus, Julia and I have boyfriends" Nikki said. She was dating someone from
their school who was in Paris for the summer vacation. Julia was dating
someone from a different school. Nina wasn't a dater. She just had fun and
sometimes enjoyed breaking hearts because of her history with guys.
"But what about Nina? She's good at this stuff" Hermione pleaded.
"Sorry, we've voted." Pierre said.
"Yeah. Now you girls had better run along to get her ready." Joel said as
he made a motion for the girls to go.
"This is gonna be so much fun" Chad said as he high-fived Jared.

"I see mumsy's little boy is growing up" said a raven haired boy from
behind his pig-like cousin "Going to his first big dance"
"Shove it Potter! Or I'll tell dad" Dudley said as he turned around.
"Running to daddy are you?" Dudley's face began to redden "But aren't you
suppose to be able to defend yourself like the little-"
DING DONG
"Sorry to cut our conversation short, but my date is here" Dudley turned
away from his cousin and headed for the door.
"Ah, hello Simon and Jennifer." Harry heard Dudley say. He headed for the
door to see how ugly Dudley's date looked. Any girl would have to be either
desperate or threatened to go out with Dudley. He peeked around the corner
to see Dudley talking to one of his cronies. He could tell that this one
was one of the younger ones.
"Dudley, this is my brother, Jared, his date, Dana, and his friends, Nina
and Chad, Nikki and Pierre, Julie and Joel and your date Hermione"
