The next morning Hermione awoke early. As she remembered her fight with Ron the night before she felt the tears threatening to come, but fought against it. 'No,' she thought, 'that's no use. I've got to do something about it.'

She ran into the dorm Ginny was sleeping in and shook the younger girl lightly.

"Gin?" she pleaded. "Please wake up, I need you to help me."

"But I must feed the coconuts," Ginny snored in response.

Hermione sighed. This was gonna take a while.


"... and then she just shouted at me, gave me a friendly advice to put a cork in it, and ran upstairs!" Ron sighed and started buttering a piece of toast. "I've got absolutely no clue what she was yammering on about."

Harry nodded understandingly.

"What?" Ron said. "You get what I don't?"

"Oh yes," Harry responded, taking a zip of his juice. "She's jealous. You're screwed."

Ron gaped at him.

"What? How am I screwed now all of a sudden?"

Harry sighed. Ron was so thick sometimes.

"'Mione's jealous," he explained as if Ron was a five-year-old. "You must never ever see Lavender again. No, that's not enough time, you shouldn't ever even have met Lavender in the first place. Can you do that?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't think so," Harry continued. "You're screwed, mate."

"But I don't even like Lavender!" Ron just couldn't understand this. "Why would she be jealous!"

Harry shook his head.

"You can really tell that you've never had a girlfriend before."

Just as Ron was about to answer that with an offended 'Hey!' he noticed that people were staring at the doors to the Great Hall, or more accurately, the people standing there. He saw Ginny, but didn't really know who the other girl was. No, wait a minute.

"Hermione!"

She had a whole different look! The hair was flat and shiny, she was wearing make-up, a tight top which showed a lot of skin, a short skirt and... were those heels!

Shewent over, not easily in those shoes,and sat with Ron and Harry who were both gaping at the new Hermione.

"Hi," she said shortly and sat down beside Ron.

They just stared at her without finding words as Ginny came and sat down beside Harry, planting a kiss on his cheek without him even noticing.

"'Mione?" Ron asked with wide eyes. "Is that... is that you?"

Almost every head in the Great Hall was turned towards Hermione. Suddenly Harry grinned at Ron.

"The biggest bomb-shell at Hogwarts dumped you last night," he snickered.

Ginny slapped him on the arm.

"Hey," he shrieked, "I was just saying!"

"You believe me when I say you aren't getting snoggy anytime soon, mister!" she growled at him.

"Aw, Ginny!"

While the pair continued bickering, the other pair started talking.

"So," Ron said, turning to Hermione, "what's up with the new you?"

"Why, you don't like it?" she glared at him.

"Sure I do," he said defensively. "It's just... you were beautiful as you were. You didn't have to do this to prove anything."

"So you don't like it?" This was going really bad.

"I do, it's just –" He tried sneaking his hand into hers, but she snapped it away. Harry and Ginny was now watching them intently.

"Just stop!" Hermione said with anger in her voice. "I know I'm all girlfriend-y, and that tend to scare boys away! Why won't it work with you?"

"Because –" he glared at Ginny who was just grabbing his toast to take a bite, "you put that down right now, missy," he growled at her, and then turned back to Hermione, "because I love you, 'Mione."

Hermione just stared at him with her mouth wide open.

"You just gave more attention to a piece of toast than to me!" she shouted.

"No I didn't," he shouted back, then whimpered, "it's just that I just buttered it..."

Hermione practically boiled.

"Do tell me when I becomemore important than a toast, Ronald Weasley."

And with that, she promptly turned around and walked out. Several whistles could be heard, as well as someone shouting 'and the bomb-shell has left the building!'.

Harry just shook his head at Ron.

"Mate," he said. "You're screwed."
