Chapter 3: Planning

"I hid them in here..." They recognized Snape's voice. "Let me get it for you.." Just then the door banged open...and in walked Snape and Filch.

Ginny and Hermione barely had time to duck behind a desk. They silently prayed that they wouldn't be caught....

Snape did not notice as he strode over to the window, where a small desk was pushed against the wall. He waved his wand and muttered something that the girls couldn't hear and the desk turned into a box.
"Here you are Argus. The confiscated items that you were looking for..."
"Thank you Severus." Then he left Snape standing there. Before he too left.
"Oh My God! That was SO close!" Hermione breathed. Taking a deep breath.
"Oh yeah!" Ginny agreed. "Lets just get back...before we ARE caught!" Hermione nodded and got up, helping Ginny to her feet as well. They practically ran to Hermione's room.
When they got there they collapsed on her bed trying to catch their breaths.
A few minutes later they sat up. "We should change into our pajamas to get comfy. You can use some of mine." Hermione said noticing Ginny didn't have anything with her, but her robes and wand.
"Thanks" Ginny said as she caught the nightgown and slid it on. Her and Hermione had always been skinny and they wore the same size, so that wasn't a problem.
"Its nothing, your welcome!" Hermione said before grabbing tons of pillows and tossing them next to their piles of stuff on the rug. They arranged themselves a little nest and sat inside.
Hermione took out the baskets and waved her wand, and they returned to their original size.
"Hmm...wow!" Ginny cried when they started to go through them. They were both loading with Butter beer, pumpkin juice, cakes, pastries, pies, chocolate, hot chocolate, hot fudge with several pints of ice cream, fudge cubes, and any other sweet or comfort food you could think of.
"Wow is right! Look at this!" Hermione said
"Mmm...this fudge is DELICIOUS!" Ginny said after sampling a cube. "So...Hermione, Who in this school do you fancy? Even the smallest bit" Ginny asked looking up at a very red Hermione.
"Well..." Hermione said slowly unwrapping a piece of candy. "I like...oh but you have to promise not to tell..."
"Nothing leaves this room"
"OK, I like that 7th year prefect in Ravenclaw...." Hermione said turning even redder.
"HIM?! Oh...what's his name..."
"Chris"
"Yeah him?! He is REALLY good looking, isn't he?"
"mmmhmm!" The girls fell into a loud round of laughter. Before they could stop and catch their breath, they heard the common room door open from below.
"That...would be...Malfoy...." Hermione gasped between laughs. They heard footsteps and before they could say another word, Malfoy opened the door.
"Granger, McGonagall asked for me to tell you that you are to schedule the next prefects meeting." His gaze traveled from the girls surrounded by pillows, to the heaps of candy and makeup, to the crumpled up tissues scattered around the room. "Looks like it's a cheering up sleepover. Who got dumped?" Malfoy asked with his sneer in place, as if trying to rub it in.
Ginny immediately stopped laughing. "Actually Malfoy, that would me. But what started as a cheering up sleepover ended up as a rejoicing and revenge planning sleepover." Ginny answered matter-of-factly. "Care to join?" She asked him falling over into another fit of laughter at seeing his face. He looked like he was going to be sick. Hermione didn't notice as she was in her bathroom.
"I'd rather not..." and he turned to leave. Suddenly he turned back around. "Weasley...if it's Potter, make it as painful as possible...think like me!"
"Oh don't worry...he's gonna pay." She said as she stopped laughing. "Now ferret...if you don't mind...your contaminating Hermione's room. GOODBYE!"
He scowled as he left. What had he been thinking? He was civil towards the weaslette and the mudblood.

Back in Hermione's room, Malfoy was the least of their worries. Hermione had sat Ginny in a chair by the mirror and they were experimenting with hair colors, seeing which would be best to get the next day.

Hermione flicked her wand and Ginny's red locks turned raven black with a small pop.
"eew, no! I look too much like Harry!"
"That's true! Here..." POP Ginny was blonde.
"Not with the freckles...oh God...that looks awful!"
POP Ginny was brunette, POP she had pink hair....POP it was blue....

That went on for about an hour before-

POP Ginny had light brown hair with blonde highlights. "Ginny, I think we have found your color, what do you think?"
"I love it!" Ginny cried.
"OK then," Hermione turned her hair back to normal and smiled. " That's the color we will have it dyed tomorrow!"
"Thank-you so much Hermione!" Ginny hugged her.
"Oh! You're so welcome! Anytime Ginny, besides...its been fun!"

"so," Hermione asked after swallowing her bite of her Chocolate Sunday "If you could be an animagus, what do you think you would be?" Hermione asked. They had been talking about anything and everything. Now there conversation had turned to animals.
"I think I would be a fox. I don't know, its different, like me. I just think it fits with me."
"I agree. I think I'd be a...um...a cat."
"you'd make a good cat." At that they both fell into fits of laughter once more.

Five in the morning

"So...anyways...Lavender is going with Dean, Parvati got pretty mad when she found out!" Ginny said.
"Well, yeah, I mean everyone knows that Parvati fancies him! And I mean, REALLY fancies him!"
"So...enough about them.... we have a huge couple problem on our hands! How are we going to get you and Chris together? Hmm... tomorrow I think we get you some highlights!"
"Oh Ginny! Tomorrow is YOUR day...not mine."
"Nonsense! You WILL be happy as well. I have heard you talk before...you have always wanted highlights, and now your getting them. NO if's, and's or butt's!"
"Fine! Fine, you win! I will get highlights!"
"Good girl! Now...I think we can go to breakfast!"

The two quickly got dressed and brushed their hair, and left the tower. On her way out, Ginny looked self-consciously in the mirror. She had on a pair of black jeans, and a pink Tank top, that had a black rose on the front. This was the last time she would be looking at herself, with this reflection staring at her. The next time...She would be completely different.
She liked the idea and smiled as she went to the common room where Hermione was waiting.
"Ready?" Hermione asked her.
"Yes...lets go!"

Thy walked into the great hall and they saw Harry and Ron and a few people here and there. No one was up this early. Ron and Harry sat in the middle of the Gryffindor table and looked very tired. Harry looked like he was miserable.

Ginny and Hermione took seats far from them and began talking and laughing cheerfully. Harry watched and frowned. What were they up to? She was crying her heart out yesterday and now she looks as happy as she can be.

When Ginny and Hermione finished they headed to the Entrance hall where Filch was waiting, rounding up the students that were going to Hogsmeade.
"Hermione..." They heard Harry's voice behind them. "Are you coming with us?" he asked gesturing to Ron.
"No, I'm spending the day with Ginny. Girl stuff. Bye-bye now."

With that the two turned and walked out to the grounds, and into Hogsmeade. Hermione lead Ginny to a small shop that she never noticed before. She realized it was a place to get your hair done. The local salon and Hair store.
"You want to do this right?" hermione asked her.
"Of course....yes..lets go" Ginny nodded and they walked in. Knowing that when she came back out, she would be different.

A/N: I know this isn't as long as I said it would....but my computer crashed and it is REALLY late...I had to have a latte just to wake me up enough to finish this chappie. But I PROMISE that next chapter will be a lot longer! Ciao
