Chapter 4
"Hermione! You have to get up… right now. It's time for the Halloween Feast and if you don't hurry, you are not going to make it!" Lavender was standing above me trying to get me to get up. I slowly woke up, my mind filled with the horrible nightmare I had just had.
"Oh… sorry Lavender, I must have just fallen asleep. How long was I asleep for?" I asked, my mind still on that nightmare.
"Um… I think for about 6 or 7 hours! You missed lunch and everything. You better be glad it is a weekend!" Lav smiled at me.
"Wow… Well, I am glad you woke me up. I was having this horrible dream that Harry had broken up with me and that he was now dating Ginny. And when Ron saw them together, he PUNCHED HARRY! I am so glad it wasn't real!" I smiled at Lav, but she just looked at the ground.
"Hermione, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this… because this is probably going to hurt… but, all of that is true…" She wouldn't look me in the eye.
"Oh. Right… Well, in that case I am just going to lay back down and go back to sleep." I jerked the covers over my head trying to block out the real world.
"NO! You have to come down to dinner and act like nothing is wrong. You cant show him that you got to him!" She grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of bed. But instead of pulling me to the door, she jerked me over to a chair and pushed me into it. Suddenly she started saying all of these spells and placing them on me. Then, after about a minute, she handed me a mirror. I looked into it, expecting to see a tear stained face, but what I saw was a shock. Those spells she had said must have been beauty ones, because I had never looked that great before. I looked stunning, and that is something coming from me. I don't have the best confidence.
"Wow!" I breathed.
"Yeah, you look AMAZING! Come on, lets go on down there and you can sit with me and Parvati." This time Lavender steered me to the door. We both raced down the stairs and out of the Common Room. There wasn't a person in sight. We were both going to be incredibly late.
We ran down to the Great Hall as fast as possible, taking a few shortcuts. We were there in a few minutes. Even so, we could hear Dumbledore standing up and starting his speech. Lavender shot me a quick look and pushed open the doors. The second we stepped into the Great Hall, the room fell silent. Everyone had their eyes on us. I stopped dead, nervous that everyone was actually staring at me. Lav grabbed me and dragged me to the table.
"Right on time girls!" Dumbledore said with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.
Lav smiled up at him, sat down next to Parvati, and pulled me down beside her. All of the sudden, the Great Hall erupted into whispers. Every boys eye was on me, and it was kind of starting to scare me.
"Well everyone, if I could please have your attention again." Once again, the whole Great Hall went silent, but this time their attention was on Dumbledore. "Well, as I was saying, there isn't really anything that cant wait to be told until after you have ate so… Tuck in!" instantly everyone's plates were filled with food and the Great Hall erupted into whispers again.
"Hermione, did you see the look on Harry's face when he saw you walk into the Great Hall?" Lav squealed. "He was positively shocked at how great you look!"
I smiled. I had caught the look on his face, and it was priceless.
"See, I was right! All you needed was to show that you could care less what he said or thought! Now look! He is probably regretting ever breaking up with you." Lav was enjoying this more than I was. Just then our conversation was interrupted be someone tapping me on the shoulder. I looked up and saw Ron standing above me.
"Can I sit down by you?" Ron asked sweetly.
"Yeah, sure." I budged over and let him sit down. He sat down and started to grin.
"You really gave Harry a shock. He still cant believe how great you look. He still hasn't taken his eyes off you!" Ron smiled. "I do feel bad for my sister, but… well, I don't know… it's just kind of weird seeing them together."
"So, Hermione… if Harry dumped Gin right now and asked you out, what would you say?" Lav asked smiling.
"Well… to tell you the truth… I don't think I would take him back… I think that he really does like Ginny and I think that if he left her for me, he would still end up going back to her… I think I am just going to move on and get someone else!" I smiled.
"That's the spirit! You don't need him and you will be fine without him! Find someone else to love and be with!" Lav was positively glowing. I could tell she was already thinking about clothes, hair products, and many other things like that that she could do to me to make me look gorgeous.
"Yeah, you should just move on." Ron smiled and then glanced back at Harry and Gin. "Well, I better get back over there. I will meet you back in the Common Room, ok?"
"Sure, that's fine with me." I smiled again as he walked off. Just then another hand tapped me on the shoulder and I turned to look, thinking it was one of the girls, but when I saw who it was, I was in for a shock.
