Hermione awoke to the dreadful beeping of her muggle alarm clock in the darkened room that she was going to miss, for today was when she returned to Hogwarts the place that over the summer she had grown to loath. She sat on her bed looking around her positively morbid room, over the summer she had changed everything about herself, she was sick of being the little Gryffindor bookworm, member of the 'dream team', and everything about herself all together, her hair was no longer brown and fuzzy but sleek and black with blood red tips, both ears were pierced all the way up. After taking in every little detail about her newly designed room. The morbid room featured black walls, scarlet curtains, the windows were covered with black paint so no sunlight could ever intrude on the black and red room, her bed of course was black the crimson sheets stood out against the darkness. Hermione stood up walking to her dresser and pulled out her favorite outfit it consisted of a tight formfitting t-shirt and baggy black bondage pants with chains hooked to every loop, and combat boots, she did her make-up as usual from the black eyeliner to the red lipstick she smiled to herself thinking 'I can't believe they made me head girl, they're really going to freak when they see me.' She put on her jewelry including her head girl badge that she pinned to the front of her pants so it was out of the way, grabbed her trunk and headed downstairs where her parents were eating breakfast happily she made it to the bottom of the stairs and dropped the trunk to get her parents attention both were shocked by her appearance.
"Are you both ready? The train leaves soon." She said sounding annoyed, her father stood up smiling hoping Hermione would smile back but she remained cold.
She arrived at the familiar platform 9 ¾ next to the scarlet train to Hogwarts, after she handed the man her trunk to load in the train she went in search of an empty compartment finally finding one near the end of the train. Leaning against the window and let her mind drift only to be brought back by the sound of the compartment door opening, a girl with waist length purple hair, grey eyes, and pale skin walked in.
"This seat taken?" she said in a Transylvanian accent, Hermione just nodded no and the girl sat down leaning into the rather comfy seats.
"Are you Transylvanian?" Hermione asked breaking the silence
"Yes, I just transferred here. My name's Lex."
"Herm-." She was interrupted by Harry and Ron opening the compartment door
"Hermione there you are. What happened to your hair?" Harry says/asks
"Yeah, you look really different." Ron said looking at her pale skin, and black attire. She just rolled her eyes and pushed them out of the compartment locking the door. "Mione let us in!"
"You know them?" Lex asks
"Unfortunately, I can't believe I used to be friends with them." She sits back down.
"So what does that badge mean?" she asks pointing to the Head Girl badge on Hermione's pants.
"Shit! I'll be back in a little while ok."
"Okay." She ran out of the compartment to the front of the train where the heads were supposed to meet. Finally seeing the compartment door with a large 'H' she opens the door to see familiar silver-blonde hair.
"It's about damn time." He said in his usual bored tone of voice he didn't bother to look up. 'Where's everyone else?' she thought "they left me to tell you about the meeting since you were absent during it I'll begin with-." He looked up and his words died in his throat "Granger?"
"Who else would it be Malfoy." She sneered venomously
"Well you look different. Who knew a mudblood could look halfway attractive." With that she left not in the mood to put up with Draco even though she has always had a small crush on him since her first year she even considered changing into Slytherin house but everyone would know her how she used to be the brainy Gryffindor in the 'golden trio' the thought of how she used to be made her sick to her stomach she hated having to have perfect grades and be little miss perfect that's why she was placed in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin but this was the year she let her true colors shine.
"Accio robes!" her voice rang through the train, a smile surfaced on her face when the sounds of people screaming and jumping out of the way of her robes as they made their way to the front of the train where their owner stood waiting catching them before they hit her in the face she went and changed into her school uniform and cloak.
Lex had gotten sorted into Gryffindor and sat by Hermione at the end of the table a comfortable distance from Harry and Ron. They had received many strange glances.
"Come on Herm I have some things to tell you." They left the great hall and began roaming around the halls toward the head's room
(ok in my story there are two rooms two house heads each Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are in one room while Slytherin and Gryffindor got stuck together for house unity or something like that)
"so listen Herm at first I wasn't going to tell you this but I think you should it's"
