The Perfect Makeover Chapter 20: Taking Flight, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter 20: Taking Flight

Hermione watched as Nina took Harry and Ron out of the room, leaving just her and Draco. The two of them began to talk until Hermione heard someone coming towards the doors.

"Fuck" Hermione said, knowing who was coming. 'I hate how this always happens. Now I have to think of something' "Shit, Draco, Harry and Ron are coming"

"Holy shit"

"Never mind, they're here"

"Hermione! What the fuck is he doing here!" Ron said

"Hey guys, listen, I didn't want to tell you this but I'm kinda helping Dumbledore with something. Harry, did you ever read the muggle newspaper or have a 'teens helping teens' at your old school?" Hermione asked

"Um, yeah I've read the muggle newspaper but my school didn't have that teens thing. But what does that have to do with anything?" Harry asked

"Listen Potter! Dumbledore picked myself and the mudblood to do that thing and she's describing it to me so I don't screw up the whole damn thing. We get 100 house points if we do well on this." Draco said

"Well, Hermione why didn't you tell us?" Ron said, suspicious of why Dumbledore asked Draco

"We're actually doing it like a radio show during meals and free times. Dumbledore wants two different opinions on matters and he didn't want us to tell you because he thought you two would get upset about the whole thing" Hermione said

"Well, if you say so" Harry said, still not 100% convinced. "We'll see you later"

Harry and Ron then left the room.

"Mudblood, eh?" Hermione asked as soon as Harry and Ron were gone

"What're you gonna do about it?" Draco said with a smirk

Hermione slid onto his lap and wrapped her legs around his waist "This" she said. She leant down and kissed him.

Outside in the Hall

"Ron, do you actually believe that?" Harry asked

"Yeah, you know what we have to do!" Ron said

"What?"

"We beat Malfoy 'till he spills" Ron said with a smile

"NO! Are you insane? Hmm, Voldemort hasn't made any moves yet, maybe he's using Hermione to get information about what we're doing?"

"So should we follow him? Spy? Kick his arse?" Ron asked hopefully

"No, I have a better idea. Talk to Hermione tonight to see if she, Nina or Malfoy have any ideas for the color group thingy. I have an idea" Harry said

"What is it?"

"Well, it's actually two ideas. The first one is for everyone to make the truth potion and then have to be asked questions, no, when I hear it out loud it sounds stupid. My other idea is for everyone to have to take the polyjuice potion and then..."

Nina's P.O.V.

I came running back with the pencil I had transfigured into a Firebolt just in time to see Harry and Ron walking out of the Great Hall. I ran as fast as I could to them, but then stopped when I heard Ron say "We beat Malfoy 'till he spills" with a smile

"NO! Are you insane? Hmm, Voldemort hasn't made any moves yet, maybe he's using Hermione to get information about what we're doing?" Harry replied

"So should we follow him? Spy? Kick his arse?" Ron asked hopefully

"No, I have a better idea. Talk to Hermione tonight to see if she, Nina or Malfoy have any ideas for the color group thingy. I have an idea" Harry said

"What is it?"

"So, what are you guys talking about?" I asked

"Nothing. Say, Nina, do you have any ideas for the next group thing?" Harry asked

"Yes. But you wont know until Dumbledore announces it. Y'know, I'm not the only person in the group, or the person in charge of the activities and such." I laughed nervously. "W-why?"

"Oh, no particular reason really, just wondering" Harry said as he took a step closer to me. "So Nina, since Draco and Hermione are obviously busy, would you care to hang out with us at the lake"

"I would love to guys, but I have to go somewhere. If anyone asks I am outside or something." I rushed off to my room to grab my bag before I left.

As I stepped into the room I looked around. Memories from years past flew through the room as I looked at the pictures that filled mine and Hermione's part of the room.

I sighed as I picked up my duffel.

'Chains, check. Box of cashews, check. Floo powder, check. Clothes, check. Wand, check. Box, check.' I thought to myself as I checked everything in the green bag.

I walked over to the window and looked around. If I were to get caught doing this, I would be in severe trouble. Looking around the room, hoping it wouldn't be my last time, I jumped out of the window and ran to the entrance to Hogsmead.

"Excuse me, sir. Do you hap-Lee? Lee Jordan?" It was my boyfriend from three years ago. That was one of my hardest relationships to break.

"Nina?" He looked amazed. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Well, um I am, but I was running an errand for a professor but what she needed isn't here so I need a fireplace to get to diagon alley" I said quickly thinking. "Do you mind if I use yours?"

"Well, sure, but what is with the duffel?" he asked. Damn, what was this, 20 questions?

"Oh, um I-" I tried to think of an explanation when a red-headed boy walked into the store.

"Hey Lee, I'm stopping by the bank tonight so I'll be late for dinner, but George will be there on time. Do you wish to switch positions?" the boy asked.

"Hello Fred. I'm fine here, thanks" Lee said. This was the perfect opportunity to go to the backroom to use the fireplace. "Diagon Alley!" I jumped into the green flames and into a whirlwind of color.

"Vault number 8208987 please." I asked the goblin at the desk in Gringotts. I made sure that my vault was my lucky number. I gave the goblin what was needed to get in.

"Ah, Miss Nina. It is a pleasure to see you again" Kerag, the goblin at the desk, said to me. I come here so often to keep what I had come to take in my vault that the goblins knew me.

"Same here Kerag. I do not mean to be rude, but I am in a hurry" I told him

"Yes, yes. Fluer!" He called.

"Fluer?" A beautiful woman walked up with a forced smile on her face.

Her hair was a silvery blond and her skin was a creamy, unblemished, flawless color.

"Take Nina to vault 8208987 please." Kerag told her. "It was a pleasure seeing you again Nina. Farewell."

Fluer and I got into a cart that pulled up.

"I have never seen a human work in Gringotts before" I said, trying to start small talk.

"I am 'ere on trial basis." She said in a rich French accent.

"Oh. Well um. Oh, here we are" I said, happy that we were here. There was some major tension in that cart.

I quickly took what I needed and got back into the cart.

"I see zat you are from 'ogwarts. What year are you in?" Fluer asked.

'SHIT! I forgot to change my outfit!' I thought to myself. Usually I was more careful than this, but this mission I was going on must have been taking up too much of my mind.

"Yes, I am in my sixth year. Y'know, you look familiar. Did you go to Beauxbatons?" I asked her.

"Yes. So that is where I know you from. You are zat girl who kept 'aving to go to ze ministry of magic, right?" she asked

"Yes, and you were chosen to be the champion from Beauxbatons for the triwizard tornament."

"Yes, but I was wondering, do you know of any Gryffindors in your year?"

"I spend all my time with the Gryffindors. My house sucks."

"Well, would you 'appen to know of a 'arry Potter?" She asked.

"Yes. He is in fact on of the best friends of my best friend, Hermione. Why?" Why would she want to know about Harry?

"Oh, well I was just wondering 'ow he was doing. You know, after what 'appened in ze maze."

"Oh, he's doing good. I don't really know much about what happened."

"Oh, well would you tell 'im zat I said 'ello when you go back to school-wait. What are you doing in Diagon Alley when you are supposed to be at school?" Fluer was not as stupid as one would assume.

"Well I-oh look, here's my stop. I'll be sure to give Harry your message. Bye." I rushed out of the building and to a dark alley.

"Well, here I go." I said as I disappeared.
