Chapter 12 Material Gal and Cushioned Floors

Hermione had just finished getting ready for the day. She went down stairs to find Malfoy sitting on the couch reading, with his back away from her. Not wanting to start anything she quietly passed him and was about to open the door when...

"Morning Granger." he sarcastically said. With a jump Hermione turned around to see Malfoy facing her with his regular smirk on.

"Right back at you." she said even more sarcastic.

"Well as much as I'd like to fight with you I'll just get to the point. I need you to give this parchment with the dance suggestions on it, to Dumbledore." he said while taking it out of his pocket.

"Why can't you give it to him yourself, I have places to go this morning." she replied. She walked up to him and gave him an impatient look.

"Well first of all Granger I have a life, and second of all you can always give it to him after dinner." Draco said the smirk still evident on his lips.

" Mhmm sure you do, then why don't you give it to him after dinner yourself." Hermione replied. She folded her arms and had an annoyed expression on her face.

" Once again I said I have a 'life' which means I have things to do and places to go to on a Friday night, so anyway could you be a doll and give this to him." Draco shoved the piece of paper into her hands and gave her a satisfied smirk. Hermione then turned around furious and was about to open the door but not without giving the last word.

" First of all Malfoy, if you call a 'life' screwing Pansy Parkinslut every Friday night then think again, and second of all don't call me a doll." with that Hermione walked right out the door.

" Ok so when do you think we should meet up and where?" asked Lavender.

" Well maybe after dinner, we can meet at the Gryffindor common room and leave from there so you guys can get your stuff together." said Hermione while eating a bit of her toast and studying from her book. ( Can you say multitasked?)

" Ok then, well I'm going to go and tell Padama so I'll just see you guy's later." said Parvati and she walked right over to the Ravenclaw table.

" So what are you going to do about Malfoy?" asked Ginny. Hermione put down the book.

" There's no need to do anything. He's going to be out tonight, thank Merlin."

" Ok then, but what if he comes back. You know what happened before, with Angela." said Ginny.

" Someone say my name?" asked Angela. She sat down next to Hermione and grabbed some breakfast.

" Oh we were just talking about what's going on tonight." said Hermione.

" Yup, tonight were all going to meet in the Gryffindor common room." said Ginny

" Sounds cool, but how did my name come into the subject?" questioned Angela.

" Ok well the thing is that we were just talking about what happened last time when you we all were in Hermione's common room." explained Ginny.

" What are you talking about?" asked Angela

" Hmm.. Lets see, creepy winks, blushing, flirting, staring into space, and not to mention drooling." said Hermione.

" I did not drool."

" Well you were about to, you could see it starting on the corner of your mouth."

" Oh shut up, can't a girl drool when you see a sexy six pack in front of her."

" Oh please, not this again." said Hermione

"Anyway, I was just asking Mione, what were going to do if Malfoy shows up." said Ginny.

" But he's not going to, I bet he'll be out all night." said Hermione determinedly.

" Hermione there's nothing you need to worry about, if he shows up I'll show him what Gryffindor's are made of." Said Angela.

" Tonight there will be no homework. Next week we will be working more on the defensive spells, so if you want to get a head start you could read up on it, in your books, page 229. Have a great weekend." said Professor Kit and dismissed the class.

Hermione walked out of DADA with Harry and Ron by her sides.

" I'm starved, what you think is for dinner?" said Ron with a weary smile on.

" Hmm lets think, were having food Ron." said Harry sarcastically.

" Ha ha very funny, seriously I'm really hungry." said Ron.

" Ron your always hungry." commented Hermione.

" Well a man can't help it when his stomach calls." said Ron pretending to pat his stomach.

" You guys can go ahead, I have to bring something to Professor Dumbledore." said Hermione.

" Ok then, we'll save you a seat." said Ron.

" And I'll try to save you some food before Ron here eats it all." said Harry. Hermione walked away from her two goofy friends.

Once Hermione came up to the stone gargoyle she gave the password. As the spiral staircase came out, she hopped on. Once at the door she knock on it.

" Come in." said the Headmaster as the door opened up itself.

" Ah good evening Ms. Granger what brings you here ten minutes before dinner?" asked Dumbledore. Hermione stepped up to his desk and handed him the parchment.

" Professor this is for the dance preparations and what is going to be going on."

" Very nicely done, I will be making an announcement before dinner about Hogsmeade. But what I want you and Mr. Malfoy to do for me tomorrow is announce the information about the dance during breakfast, I will also be giving extra Hogsmeade days during this week so please announce that too." said the Headmaster.

" Thank you Professor, and you don't have to worry about anything we'll have all this info out tomorrow morning." said Hermione with determination. Then she suddenly froze and remembered something.

Oh Merlin tomorrow is the whole makeover thing! That means I'm going to have to stand right in front of the whole student body! Oh Merlin what if someone says something, what are people going to say. Ok ok Hermione calm down... it's just a speech in front of a lot kids, with a new look... What should I do, should I tell Ginny and the others.. I don't know..

" Something troubling you Ms. Granger?" asked the Professor with a knowing twinkle in his eyes.

" Nothing at all Professor."

" Well then you should be getting down to the Great Hall, dinner will be starting in five minutes and counting, as for me I'm going to be on my way down there as well."

" Alright then Professor, goodbye." Said Hermione. She smiled at Dumbledore, giving him a happy determined face, once she turned around her face turned into confusion and panic.

Hermione came into the Great hall and took a seat right next to Ginny and across from Harry and Ron.

" So Ron and Harry told me that you had to bring something up to Dumbledore." said Ginny.

" Yeah it was the news for the upcoming dance, Dumbledore will be making an announcement about it any minute now." right as Hermione finished her sentence a loud clinking could be heard coming from the head table telling everyone to be silent. Dumbledore had just arrived and was ready to tell the exciting news.

" Good evening everyone. Right before we fill our hungry stomachs, I would like to make an important announcement for this next week. Next weekend will be the Welcome Back Ball for years second and up.." With this new information, all lot of excited talking could be heard, especially from the girls. Dumbledore raised his hand for silence.

" More information will be given out tomorrow by our head boy and girl during breakfast. As for this weekend, it will be a Hogsmeade weekend. There also will be a couple of days during this coming week, of Hogsmeade trips. For the second years since you can not be able to go to Hogsmeade, I had pulled some strings and had gotten permission for you to go, but there will have to be a teacher present with you. Now with that said let us now eat." Everyone had started talking about the dance and who they were going to Hogsmeade with. Excitement filled the air, and had lasted until dinner was over, carrying their conversations to their common rooms.

" Well I'm going to go back to my common room and get things ready for tonight. Once I'm done I'll come by the common room." said Hermione.

" Sounds great see you then." replied Lavender who walked off with the other girls to get their stuff together.

Hermione was in her spacious room. She had cleaned any possible mess in her room, and had even used a spell to make her floor change into soft thick cushions, so that the girls could sleep on the floor and feel as if they were sleeping on a bed. She then went into her kitchen and had started popping some popcorn that she had found. She then took out two huge bowls and placed it by the microwave. She then went back out into the common room and to her unfortunate ness Mr. Malfoy was there.

" So Malfoy did you hear what Professor Dumbledore said earlier?" asked Hermione.

"Yes, why Granger?" he replied.

" Just seeing if your prepared for tomorrow."

" I'm always prepared. This will be a snap, just give 'em the information and they'll be as happy as Crabbe and Goyle are when they see free food." Hermione silently sniggered at that.

" What in bloody hell is that annoying popping sound.?" questioned Draco while sniffing the air. A warm smell of butter and corn drifted into the common room.

" It's called popcorn, it's a muggle junk food not that you would know."

" Ok whatever, I have places to go, people to see, have fun with that poppy corn stuff Granger." and with a swish of his cloak he was out the door.

" Can you say ego!" she said to herself. Deciding that she had everything fixed she went straight towards the Gryffindor portrait in her room, said the password and entered.

Five minutes later Ginny, Angela, Lavender, Parvati, Padma, and Hermione were gathered in Hermione's common room. She then brought all the girls to her bedroom to set there things down.

" Merlin Mione this is as big as our common room." gaped Padma.

" We're going to have so much fun!" exclaimed Lavender.

" Mione what did you do with the floor?" asked Angela while jumping on it.

" I transfigured it to be all cushioned and comfortable just like a bed, so you all can sleep on the floor peacefully." she explained.

" Ahh... I can stay like this forever." Ginny relaxed on the cushioned floor, and almost practically fell asleep.

" So what do you guys want to do?" asked Parvati.

" Well while you guys think of something I'm going to go and get the popcorn from the kitchen, Angie can you help me?" said Hermione. Angela stood up from the comfortable spot on the floor and followed Hermione out the door. Once they came back the girls were all sitting on Hermione's bed and talking. They placed the popcorn in the middle of the group and sat down with everyone else.

Lots of girl talk and two bowls of popcorn later the girls were all laughing hysterically.

" And she just sat there thinking that all of the boys were actually looking at her new nose job, more like looking at the gross stuff coming out of her new nose. Pansy is such a material girl, once she looked into her little compact mirror here eyes almost popped out of her head." said Parvati while trying to control her laughter. She was the last one to come out of the bathroom changed into her pajamas.

" Are you serious, I can just imagine her having a mental break down." said Ginny in between bursts of laughter. She had almost spilled the bottle of nail polish she was using for her manicure.

" You know that girl really doesn't have any sense in fashion, seriously if she really wants to show all that skin and cleavage might as well come to class everyday stark!" remarked Angela, who was braiding Lavender's hair.

" She's not even that smart, I bet if you asked her to name one of the founders of Hogwarts except for Slytherin's founder, I bet she'd name a type of hair potion." said Hermione. More fits of laughter had erupted.

" I don't even get it, why would someone like Draco Malfoy even waste his time with a tramp like her?" questioned Padma who was giving herself a pedicure.

" Simple, she is the only one willing to give him anything to be able to bear his children." stated Hermione. Laughter had gotten louder this time.

" That's just pathetic." said Lavender.

" Well speaking of looks and clothes, what is the plan for tomorrow morning."

" Do you think we could just leave the makeover for tomorrow night, I really don't think I can go in front of everyone tomorrow morning looking different, I mean .. Really please spare me some mercy?" asked Hermione hopefully.

" Hermione, we had already agreed to have this done tomorrow morning. Its better to get it over with, I think." said Ginny.

" And I don't think anyone will think bad of your new look, with all of us here, nothing can go wrong." said Angela.

" You girls have better be right about this, but I'm grateful that you guys are doing this for me." said Hermione. All the girls gave her a big smile. Hermione had felt ready for this but was the school going to be ready for her?

But before going to sleep later that night Hermione had one last thought left in her head.

Oh Merlin Malfoy's going to see me!
