Disclaimer: Must we go through this again?

Hermione went up to the common room hoping to find Ginny. If she wanted Ron, Parvati,

and Lavender to see that she was more then just some bookworm she had to do it at the

Christmas Ball, and she needed Ginny's help to pull off what she had planned. She found her in

the common room finishing up some Charms homework.

"Hi Hermione. Hold on let me finish this last sentence." Ginny scribbled something and then

put away her homework. "What's up."

"Ginny when you look at me who do you see?" asked Hermione.

"I lost you. What?"

"I mean, if you were to describe me, like my personality and character what would you

say."
Ginny thought for a moment.

"Well, I'd say you were smart--"

"Exactly! That's what everyone says about me. That I'm smart big whoop!" Hermione

slouched down on the couch.

"I'd also say your brave, you speak your mind, you can defend yourself, and you're also a

great friend." Ginny finished firmly.

"Yes, well that's because you're my friend. Everyone else just sees me as some smart

bookwormish girl. Sometimes they even forget that I am a girl."she said thoughtfully reminiscing

on her fourth year.

AN: good times good times haha

"Give me an example of who thinks this."

Hermione told her the whole story of what happened at lunch that day.

"Well I guess I can forgive Ron for saying that. I suspect that when he was born Bill was

carrying him and then dropped him. Hard. But I can't believe Parvati and Lavender said that!

So tell me which would you prefer, me hexing them or them eating one of Fred and George's

newest treats: Acne Acid Aoda. They'll have pimples so large Eloise Midgen would run in

terror."
Hermione laughed again.

"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to hex them or give them acne, I want them, to just

once, see me as a normal girl."

"When you say normal you don't mean some ditz who likes makeup and impressing guys

thicker then my own brother."

"Well I wouldn't exactly go that far, but you know, someone who isn't so uptight,

someone that doesn't care about books, tests or homework. I know it sounds weird, but I think

Parvati and Lavender, and even Ron would respect me more."

Ginny looked at Hermione for a moment.

"Alright. I'll help you. Do you have anything planned?"

"Well you know how the ball is actually going to be a masquerade?"

"Where on earth did they get that idea?"

"No idea but you know how it's going to be a masquerade."

"Well obviously."

"Well I was thinking..."

AN: if you want to know what the plan is your not going to find out in this chapter so you might as well review right now. Alright on with the chapter.

"That's a brilliant idea Hermione! Who knew you could come up with a scheme that

clever!" Ginny said proudly.

"Yes but its going to be really hard to pull off."

"Not really. Don't worry I'll help. This is going to be fantastic!"

"But Ginny I still need an outfit and what about my hair and makeup and--"

"Hermione will you calm down? I already have a pretty good idea of what to do." Ginny

said in a calm reassuring way.

"Wait Ginny. What if he gets a date?"

"My brother? Get a date. You think some girls will go up to him and ask him to the ball?"

"It might happen."

"How many asked him the last time?"

Pause. "Good point."

"Now when's the next Hogsmeade weekend we'll need to pick up a few things."

Hermione went to the bulletin board. She found the Hosmeade schedule next to the notice

of the ball.

"Umm this Saturday."

"Perfect. Oh and Hermione don't tell anyone or else it will never work."

Hermione nodded. "I won't tell."

Weee there we go another chapter. Like always guys read and review! There will be some more Ron and Hermione stuff going on don't worry.
