Preperations

The first time I saw you it was magic
my heart began to beat
you're smart and full of logic
but you're also kind, caring and sweet.

'I thought he hated me that day on the train …' Thought Hermione, a warm flush growing inside her, doubling each time she read a verse from Ron's poem. 'And he thinks I'm kind, caring and sweet!' Her face clearly showing her inner happiness. Causing Lavender and Pavarti to give her similar confused looks and then sniggering in realisation.

You'd look after me and Harry
You'd stand up for what you believe
You're the one I want to marry
You're my living dream.

'Me and Harry … well that's definitely Ron' Smiled Hermione, relieved that it wasn't Seamus or someone else just as unimportant to her. 'I'm the one he wants to marry …' Hermione muttered to herself, wanting to squeal with delight! 'Now, that's deep for Ron … he must really mean it then.'

If I could wish upon a star
you would be with me
we would travel very far, together,
that's my life long dream.

Hermione simply read this over, sighed deeply and touched her chest, where she imagined her heart lie thumping excitedly.

A flower blooming in the sun,
a trickling stream, so quiet,
the mother of my future son,
sunshine beams so bright.

'His future son … he's hoping; we'll be having lot's of girls!' Hermione laughed aloud at her most recent thought and causing Lavender to snap at her "Keep your head still! For Merlin's sake!"

A mind, careful and logic,
Eyes, a soft colour brown,
The gift to create good magic,
A heart, never to be put down.

'I thought boys didn't notice trivial things such as eye colour' contemplated Hermione, smiling inwardly all the same.

Now, you know my feelings,
what do you have to say,
will you think all kinds of things,
or, will you reply- OK?

'I am thinking all kinds of things, admitted Hermione to herself 'But believe me, Ron, none of them are bad … And "OK", I want to shout yes at the top of my voice, laugh with happiness and cry with fear that you might change your mind, or that this may all be a sick joke …' A lump grew in Hermione's throat at the possibility of this.

If you don't call me a mug,
if you are all right with this,
I'd like to give you a warming hug,
a soppy kind of grin and a tear-jerking kiss.

Hermione couldn't contain her happiness any longer. She hugged the poem and squealed aloud, a huge, happy grin plastered over her face.
Lavender and Pavarti smiled at her. Although the temptation to take the mick out of her was gigantic, sthey controlled themselves. Hermione was a lovely girl and she deserved to be this happy, especially with Ron.
"We're really happy for you 'Mione, really, but you have to keep your head still if you want to look stunning and not a survivor from a car-wreck!" Barked Lavender. Pavarti just laughed and fell back onto Hermione's bed. Hermione blushed scarlet but obeyed.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing Lavender?" She asked, worried.
"Yes, of course I do! I work in a muggle hair salon during the summer you know!"
A long piece of Hermione's hair fell limply to the floor of the girl's dorm. Hermione gulped. "Pavarti, have you sorted my clothes out yet?"
"Yeah they're on top of your trunk. I've lent you one of my tops, by the way, your fashion sense is a bit, well, dated, so I thought I'd use my initiative." Pavarti replied, not moving from her slump on the bed.
Hermione frowned at the remark, but thanked her anyway.

"Viola!" Exclaimed Lavender, a hint of pride could be heard in her voice.
Hermione looked into the mirror nervously. But the result was pleasing … even beautiful. Her hair was a few inches shorter, just enough to banish her split ends and caused her bushy locks to fall into perfectly defined curls. "Your hair's lovely, you see, Hermione" Said Lavender knowingly. "There's just too much of it, the weight of it was making it split and frizz under the strain."
"Thank you …" Breathed Hermione, running her hand through her now smooth locks.
"Ron's going to love it!" Squealed Pavarti, "Now, go and get changed and you're ready to go!"
