CHAPTER 1: THE MAKEOVER PART I

It was the beginning of summer vacation and Hermione felt very lonely. This summer she wasn't going to be able to visit the Weasleys or Harry over the summer. And she knew she was going to miss them even though Ron probably wouldn't care since he and Luna had started dating. Don't get me wrong I like Luna and I don't have a crush on Ron any more but I don't like how he has starting ignoring me.

But that wasn't the only thing that was bothering me, what was actually bothering me was that I didn't have a boyfriend. All of my friends, magical and muggle have all got a boyfriend. I got up and went to look in the mirror that was next to my dresser. She didn't understand it, she was prettier than a lot of her friends and had an okay body, so why doesn't she have a boyfriend?

"Hermione," Came her mother's voice, "you've got a visitor.

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts and went downstairs to see who her mom was talking about. When she got to her living room she was slightly scared at what she saw. There was her best muggle friend and her mother standing close together with identical evil grins on their faces.

"Hermione you know that it is past time you start looking your age," her mother started off. "So Gwen and I started talking while you were away and we decided that over the summer she would help you pick out new clothes and teach you how to do your hair and makeup."

Hermione was shocked; her mother and one of her best friends had been conspiring against her.

"Alright Gwen I will leave her in your capable hands," Mrs. Granger said before leaving the room.

"Alright Mia lets go up to your room to start talking about what I want to do alright?" Gwen said. So Gwen grabbed her hand and dragged her up to her room. Once they were their Gwen shut and locked the door. "tell me what's wrong with you," she said.

"What's wrong, What's wrong, I'll tell you what's wrong, you and my mother have been plotting against me while I was away! And why do I need a makeover! I am perfectly fine with the way I am!" Hermione said angrily.

"Are you sure about that Mia? So you are saying you haven't once thought about changing how you look so you could get a boyfriend? I know you have, every girl has, its just that unlike you they act on their thoughts! That is why you haven't had a boyfriend since that Bulgarian guy!" Gwen said. " I know I probably sound like a completely shallow mean bitch but you know what, sometimes I have to be mean in order to get some things through your thick head!

"I know, it's just why can't a guy like me for what I am now?" Hermione said in a sad voice.

"Because guys are stupid, and I'm not saying that were going to make you act like an idiot or anything like that I am just going to help you get guys attention so then they can start paying attention to the real you, alright?" Gwen said this all while looking Hermione straight in the eyes. "Besides don't you have at least one crush? Don't you want them to notice you?"

"Alright I'll do it, as long as you don't do anything to make me look bad, alright?" Hermione said.

"Yes! Okay now get me a piece of paper and we'll start writing a list of things we have to do alright?" Gwen said happily.

Over the next five minutes they created a list that included everything that they were going to do over the next 3 months.

It looked like this:

1.Permanently straighten hair.

2.Learn how to properly use makeup.

3.Join a gym and lose at least 5 pounds in all the right places.

4.Work on presence.

5.Get skin care products.

6.Learn to flirt.

7.And last but not least. Shopping spree.

The next day Hermione was excited; today she and Gwen were going to go to a local gym so they could both join. She got up got dressed and met up with Gwen at the front of the gym. You could tell they were both excited by just looking at them.

They both went in and joined the gym and talked to the trainers in charge of the place. What they did first was to have all of their measurements and their weight taken down. Then they told the trainer that they wanted to lose weight in their stomach, thigh and arm areas, and lose a couple of inches in the same place. The trainer told them that they would have to work out for at least one hour and a half for four days a week in order to do that. And that they would start tomorrow.

All in all they were both pretty happy that the makeover had started. But the day hadn't ended yet. Gwen decided to take her to a skin care store so that Hermione could get all of the facial products that she would need in order to take care of her face.
