AN- Hey, 6th Chapter is up. Thank you to everyone who reviewed!

Crowely Black - thanks for reviewing, glad you like the story!

Pure Sunshine - ditto above. lol

chibichibi386 - If the ideas are good, i'm happy, cos i made up all these ideas. I've already planned the last chapter and how this story is going to end. I might make it a two part story, but that depends on whether i change my mind or not.

Rhyet The Dark Angel - Really? I'm sorry about that. Kinda the same thing happened to me, except it wasn't my crush it was my boyf, and it wasn't just some girl she was my friend. She had a boyfriend too. Quite alot like your problem. But my story isn't based on the problem i had. Because now my boyfriend is an ex and my friend who liked him is going out with him. Very complicated and twisted, I know!

wingless87 - Yes, Angelique is quite mary sue-ish, but that's half her character. She's supposed to be too perfect for Hermione to compete with. So yes, she had to be somewhat of a mary sue.

Sofea - I think it's a pretty name too. Yes, and it was supposed to be and ironic thing that a girl named Angelique could be in an evil house.

wheres waldo - I do update as often as possible! Lol, the cute dress will arrive in the next chapter. But Ginny mentions it in the end of this chapter.

Here's chapter 6

Damsel in a Cute Dress

Chapter 6 – The Plan

"Did you realize," I asked Ginny, at the common room, "That he didn't even notice me?"

"Of course he must have noticed you!" Ginny said.

"Must have? He didn't even look at me!" I cried.

"Calm down, Hermione!" Ginny hissed, "You'll wake everyone!"

I sat quiet for a minute. Ginny and I were the only people awake.

Then I started again.

"That's not what he's supposed to do!" I said, shuffling in my book bag. I grabbed a piece of crumpled paper and waved it in Ginny's face. "He's supposed to see me, looking all nice, then fall in love with me. The end! Not ignore me completely for some new slut!"

"What is this?" Ginny said reading the paper.

I continued, ignoring her question.

"Did you see the way she was sitting today? Her robes all open, showing off that slit in her skirt all the way up to her bloody hip!"

"A fan fiction? Honestly, Hermione!" Ginny laughed, "Sure, they're fun to read and all, but don't take them as a guide to life."

"What...?"

"Don't count on everything that happens in a fan fiction to happen in real life." She explained.

I looked at her blankly, and I was supposed to be the smart one.

"Just because," she paused to look at the paper, "Clancy," she stopped again to giggle, "Just because Clancy got Draco to fall for her after a makeover doesn't mean the same thing will happen to you if you get a makeover."

My eyes widened.

"Oh come one, Hermione, you're not stupid! You know that right?"

"I guess I knew, but it seemed so perfect..."

"Oh Hermione," Ginny sighed and then hugged me. "If you want Draco you have to do more than just look good."

"What do you mean?" I said interested.

"You need a plan." Ginny grinned mischievously.

A plan sounded good. A good plan even better!

Now basically all we needed was a plan...

The next day, we still hadn't figured out a plan.

I didn't really have time to since classes were starting from today.

"Oh, great!" I groaned

"What?" Ginny asked, not even looking up from her timetable.

"Double Potions, first thing in the morning!" I complained, "And with the Slytherins!"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Ginny winked at me, "You'll have someone to look at."

"Yeah, and that someone will be looking at someone else!"

"Oh," Ginny said shortly, "yeah, Her."

I grunted, shoving my timetable into my bag and made my way, with Harry and Ron, to the Dungeons.

Things went from bad to worse. And from there to even worse.

When I showed up, which was 5 minutes early since I'm an insufferable know it all according to Snape, Guess who I saw?

Draco.

With Angelique.

With his hand around Angelique.

I walked in as calmly as I could have, took a seat next to Harry and Ron and opened my book. I pretended to read, but I was actually eavesdropping on the 'couple' near by.

"Draco, you silly boy." Angelique said. Her voice was so sickly sweet. It was disgusting to listen to.

"I'm silly?" he said, his tone was different, not cold, but not sweet, just perfect, and then he started tickling her.

Touching her all over with his pale fingers. I had to turn my head to look. When I looked, my eyes met his. Finally, I thought, now he could realize I've had a makeover and go out with me instead of the gibbering blonde next to him.

Instead he turned away as if he had no idea who I was.

I was never more offended in my life.

Thankfully, I didn't do something stupid like going and cramming my hand in his ass, because Snape saved me by announcing that the class had begun. Snape actually saved me. This day was becoming more unbelievably unbelievable by the minute.

Potions was the usual, very dull. I did get full marks for my Dragon's Bane analysis although I was being constantly distracted by giggling coming from the Dynamic Duo behind me. Or should I say Dynamite? From what I could hear they certainly were making fireworks of their own.

I left the Dungeons in a bad, I mean really bad mood. I shoved Ron and Harry out of the way and ran to the Charms classroom.

After double Charms I walked into the Great Hall with Ginny.

Walked straight passed the Slytherin table without even turning my head.

I didn't' even see him through the whole of lunch.

Maybe this was because he wasn't even there.

"I wonder why Draco and Angelique didn't turn up for lunch." Ginny said, while we were all relaxing in the Gryffindor common room eating Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts.

"Why'd you care about those two?" Harry scoffed.

"It's pretty obvious," Ron said, in between a mouthful of chocolate, "They were making out in some old classroom."

I choked on my Flavored Bean.

"Why do you say that?" Ginny asked Ron, but secretly eyeing me.

"Uh...maybe because it's a bit obvious they are going out?" Ron replied.

"You know that for sure?" Ginny pushed further.

"No, but doesn't it seem like that?" Ron stated, "Why do you care anyway?"

Ron popped a few more beans in his mouth, after wincing at the taste, said "You don't fancy him, do you?"

"No," Ginny said truthfully, "I was just wondering, because those two look perfect for each other."

My face turned red. Really red. Really, really red. How could Ginny say that? I was supposed to be perfect for Draco not Angelique!

"Good, because if you did..." Ron threatened.

"Don't worry, Ron," Harry said calmly, "I don't think any Gryffindor girls would be so stupid to like that shit."

"Yeah, you're right." Said Ron, then he continued to eat his Beans in silence.

"He's not shit" I told Ginny, later in our bedroom, when Parvati and Lavender were asleep.

Ginny laughed, "He's not, but you know Ron and Harry. They hate him."

I nodded.

"And by the way," Ginny said, "I didn't mean what I said about Angelique."

"What?" I pretended like I didn't know what she was talking about.

"You know, about him and her being a perfect match" Ginny said, "Personally, I think you'd be better for him."

I smiled. Ginny left to her own dorm. Her's was different to mine.

After she left, I went under the covers. I fell asleep, hoping for something interesting the next day, and believe me something interesting certainly happened.

At the Great Hall at lunchtime was where The Plan was born.

Ginny and I were sitting there, innocently eating our Chicken Pies, when all of a sudden someone shrieked. Like people shriek in movie's when they're falling off a cliff or something. A murmur was heard through the crowd of students. But above all that, you could hear one single voice say, "That's Angelique's scream!"

And who was that person?

Draco Malfoy.

My knight in shining armor...only he was off saving someone else at the moment.

That's right, Angelique was in trouble, and Draco went to save her.

What was the trouble Angelique was in, you ask?

She had fallen through a trick step of one of the staircases and was hanging on with only her French-manicured fingers.

All of us poured out of the Great Hall to see this. Me and Ginny got through before the teachers started holding back students.

There was a huge crowd watching Angelique hold on for dear life and Draco run up all the staircases to get to the one she was on.

I don't think Angelique was aware that all of the people standing directly under her, (the crowd from the Great Hall, including me and Ginny) could see right up her skirt.

But, I don't think many people were really looking up there, I think they were more interested in what Draco would do. Would he save her? Or would he be too late?

He saved her. He grabbed Angelique's hands and lifter her up really quick. I bet that was quite easy, since Angelique was so thin and Draco must have a lot of muscles after playing Quidditch so much. Everyone applauded after Draco had 'saved' her. This really drove Ron and Harry mad.

"God," Harry said, "It wasn't like it was some amazing feat."

To be honest I sort of felt the same way.

I thought it was quite stupid really; anyone could just say Wingardium Leviosa and levitate her to safety. No need for all this heroic business. I told Ginny this.

She said, "You know, Hermione. You have not one ounce of Romance in your blood."

She turned back to look at Angelique sobbing in Draco's arms as he held her on the staircase. Then she looked at me.

"...But you do have a lot of intellect, that's for sure!"

She dragged me into a corner, away from the crowd that had gathered.

"I think we may just have a plan..." She explained.

My face brightened up. "So...what's the plan?"

"Well, look at it like this," she started, "I think that Draco is trying to be the next Harry Potter."

I tilted my head. "How?"

"Well, he's saving people and all that," Ginny said, "Don't you think so?"

"Well, not really, I just thought it was because he liked Angelique." I stated.

"Well, maybe." Ginny said, and then she began to think.

I know when she's thinking because her eyes go right up and she crosses her arms.

"But, what's the plan?" I asked, that was the reason she dragged me here.

"Oh yeah," Ginny said, "I was thinking maybe you could accidentally on purpose fall off a staircase and shout for help."

I was shocked and didn't reply, so Ginny continued.

"That way, he can save you. And you're bound to get some attention after that." She nodded, "I mean, he can't save a person without looking at her face, right?"

"Right, but what if it's Harry or Ron who rescue me?" I asked, "Why would Draco come running?"

"Good point," Ginny added, "Well, I'll have to distract the both of them."

"Fine, but why would Draco save me? Why not another passing person?"

"I'll take care of it, okay?" Ginny said, "I'll simply make sure no one else, but Draco is walking along that particular corridor and that way he'll have to save you!"

"What if he doesn't?" I asked.

"He won't!" Ginny said, I must have not look assured about that so she added, "If he doesn't, I'll magic you to safety and you'll know Draco's true feelings about you."

My jaw dropped.

"It might be depressing, but at least you'll know. And you can start trying for another guy!"

"There's no equivalent to Draco!" I hissed.

"Well maybe not, but you'll need to do something to prove you can be equivalent to Angelique!" Ginny pointed out, "And I think this plan is perfect!"

I sighed and bowed my head. "Fine, but you can't make me look like a fool!" I warned.

"Don't worry," Ginny said, "The only you'll be is The Damsel in Distress!"

"Great," i groaned, "Exactly what i want to look like. An Angelique wannabe!"

"Hmmm, you might end up looking like that, you know," Ginny said, "You'll have to get yourself in some distress without hanging off a staricase."

"Well...like what?"

"Uh, how about getting Fang to chase you?" Ginny suggested.

I shook my head, "Draco knows Fang isn't vicious."

"Pretending to drown in the lake?"

"I'm not getting wet, Ginny, no way!" I protested.

"God, you're so picky!"

"I wouldn't be picky if you could come up with some good plans!" I retorted

"Well, what kind of plans do you actually want?" Ginny asked, getting slightly annoyed.

"Anything that's not ridiculous, and certainly cannot make me look stupid!"

"Uh...how about," Ginny started thinking, "..."

"How about I just hang off a staricase?" I asked.

"No, that'll look too copycatish, you need something new!" Ginny said.

"Like WHAT?" I asked, getting really annoyed. This conversation was going nowhere!

"Well, why don't you just try tripping and falling into Draco's arms?"

"That could be a good idea, but what if he doesn't catch me?" I asked, "I'll fall flat on my face, and that can't make anyone look good!"

"Agreed, that plan is too risky." Ginny nodded, "Well, it's certain we're not coming up with anything good enough."

"So, I guess I'll just have to live without Draco ever noticing my makeover!"

"Not true!" Ginny said, suddenly straightening up! "I have an idea!"

I had fallen for this too many times, "Is it going to actually work this time?"

"Oh don't worry, I'll make absolutely sure it works!" Ginny grinned, rubbing her hands togather, all mad scientist-like.

"Are you going to share this idea wiht me anytime soon?" I asked.

"Alright, basically, all you need is to look good and act really well. Leave the rest to me!"

"Why?" I asked suspicious, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing," Ginny smiled innocently, "Oh and Hermione, I suggest you wear a dress."

AN-  Okay, hope you liked it! Don't forget to review! And i hope this chapter is long enough, if it's not...then i have no idea how long you want it to be. This has been my longest chapter yet! Lol, Review please!
