Draco Malfoy, now 16 and in his 6th year at Hogwarts, lay in his infirmary bed, staring at the ceiling in abject misery. He was just thinking of making a dash for it when Madam Pomfrey wasn't looking when the door banged open loudly and another student was levitated in. The curtain was drawn so that he couldn't see who the unfortunate was, but nevertheless he listened carefully.

"I think she's still breathing!" said a hushed voice.

"Of course she is, you dimwit. It wasn't that serious of a spell… I think she's coming round!" There was a murmur and something banged against the metal of the guardrails on the bed. "When she wakes up she'll have a bruise there. Hey, I thought I said to go get Madam Pomfrey! Why haven't you?"

"I'm going, alright! Why are you so mean today, Parvati?" Ah Parvati! That meant the other voice could only belong to…

"SHUT UP LAVENDER! I am not mean. I'm just worried about her! Now go and fetch Pomfrey will you!" Draco could see Lavender scurrying to comply. Luckily the girls hadn't noticed him yet, and he hoped it stayed that way. He didn't want anyone seeing him in his present state. A few minutes later he saw Madam Pomfrey and Lavender dashing to the bed. By now he was getting anxious to know who

the person Parvati and Lavender were so worked up about was. He found out soon enough.

"Hermione Granger! What have you two done to her?" Said Madam Pomfrey in a surprised manner.

"Well, we were just trying out a spell, you know, a cosmetics one… and she went like this! We didn't do it on purpose, honest! You know, I mean…"

"All right Lavender, I know what you mean. What type of cosmetic spell was this?"

"Well, it was this new type of spell, called Perma-Eyes. It's a really nice shade of blue eye shadow and it doesn't fade… I think I might be getting it in purple… Or would green look better, do you think, Lavender?"

"Definitely green. Besides, I'm named Lavender, I should get purple!"

"If it works on you the same way it worked on Hermione, I don't think either will do well for you girls. Now, get out of here you! I would've expected better from Hermione than to be fooling around with such things when…"

"NO NO! It wasn't like that! It was all our fault. Hermione is such a bore, all she does is sleep and study, so we thought it'd be a real nice surprise if she woke up looking beautiful, except we didn't read the warning…"

"Shut up Lavender!"

"Parvati, I think Madam Pomfrey needs to know this! The warning on the spell said 'May have adverse affects on witches who are not pureblood' but we didn't think of it until…"

"You silly things. Get out of here! I need space. This may be remedied easily enough, but it could have been dangerous…" Draco saw Lavender and Parvati rush out the door, looking very ashamed. He was making a valiant effort not to laugh. That's what dirty little Mudbloods get!

"Enervate!" He heard Pomfrey say. Then there was another murmur.

"Where am I? Lav, Parvati? What…?"

"Hush now dear, you're fine."

"Madam Pomfrey? Why am I in the infirmary? Last thing I remember was telling Lavender and Parvati to shut up with their giggling because I had a History of Magic… OH NO! My History of Magic test! Oh I haven't missed it have I? I'd better go!"

"You're not going anywhere like that Ms. Granger. I'm sure Professor Binns won't mind."

"Like what? I feel fine!" There was a loud scream. "OH NO! How'd this happen? What's wrong with that mirror?" Before Pomfrey could stop her, Hermione was on her feet and running towards the bathroom where she could get a better look.

"Oh dear!" Draco heard the mirror say. "You should really get that fixed. "

Hermione came out of the bathroom, a large tear rolling down her cheek, and Draco got his first good look at her. He burst out laughing. Hermione Granger was a brilliant shade of shimmery sky blue, and her hair was a beautiful sea green.
