Hermione
smiled and retreated into the shower room. She was again pleasantly
surprised to be greeted with a small light blue coloured room; it had
a large mirror running all down on side above the sink. This wall was
opposite a large, white, bath and shower. With a deep breath Hermione
stepped in front of the mirror.
Her eye's widened as she looked at
herself, she had a deep cut in her cheek as Sirius had pointed out,
and her neck seemed to have a large browny-purple bruise down one
side of it. Her hair looked a mess, it was larger than ever and there
were lots of large chunks of knots. Her eyes seemed to have darkened
and she did not have much colour in her cheeks.
"Nice."
Hermione said about herself sarcastically as she got into the hot
shower. She scrubbed as hard as she could and made sure every last
piece of dirt was removed, many a time she scrubbed for an age at one
spot of dirt only to realize it was yet another bruise. She had cuts
and scratches all up her legs and was continuously wincing as she had
accidentally got body wash in one. About twenty minutes and half a
bottle of conditioner later, Hermione stepped out of the shower with
hair she could actually run a brush through.
Glancing in the
mirror before she opened the door Hermione smiled to herself, her
hair was wet yet it now fell heavily but without the dirty knots. Her
face was clean and it, along with her lips seemed to have had a tinge
of colour added to them.
She walked from the shower room to find
Sirius unpacking clothes from a suitcase into a wardrobe that
Hermione was sure had not been there before.
Sirius turned around
to explain,
"I apparated one he- Wow, Hermione, you look
good."
Sirius stated in shock as he looked at Hermione
standing in her towel.
She laughed,
"You're awful Sirius!
Now get into that shower room whilst I dress."
Sirius smiled
slightly, and tearing his eyes away from Hermione, put the clothes
down he was holding and walked into the bathroom.
