Jealous Love
Chapter 2: The Whole New Look
Suddenly rain started to pour out and they heard the whistle of Professor Sprout signaled them to go back to the shelter.
"We'll have our plant hunt next week." Profesor Sprout said.
---Saturday morning---
Ginny and Hermione ate breakfast hurriedly so they can prepare for their trip to London.
"Where are we going, Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"To Muggle London. That's where the best hairdressers are." Ginny said. "Wizard salons are not good".
The two girls prepared themselves for their trip to London. They changed into their muggle clothes so that it will not be too obvious that they were witches.
"Let's go!" Ginny exclaimed.
The two of them rode the train to London. When they arrived in London, they saw magnificent sights and most of all; they saw a whole line of shops. They walked and walked until they were able to find the hairdresser's shop.
The two sat in the reclining chairs and got their haircuts. After the haircut, Hermione had a slightly wavy hair that is layered so that the shorter strands can frame her face.
After the haircut, they went shopping for clothes.
"What if I start to show more skin?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"It's okay, with your slim figure, boys will be crazy about you." Ginny replied smiling.
So they went in a shop full of teen clothing. Hermione chose some halter tops, spaghetti straps and tube tops. Without any doubt, she bought all she chose including a couple of mini skirts.
"The Christmas dance is coming, Hermione. I would like to buy some gowns, is it okay?" Ginny said.
"It's okay; I think I'll just find one for myself. I might go with some boy in my classes." Hermione said.
The two went in 'Pierre's gowns for all Seasons'. Hermione chose a pale blue halter gown and had it wrapped. Ginny on the other hand bought a pink strapless gown.
"It's getting late, we should go back now." Hermione said.
Hermione walked carelessly again in her new high heels and then she bumped with somebody. She recognized this somebody as her partner in Herbology.
"Sorry, miss." Draco said politely and then after a while, he queried "You're Granger, aren't you?"
"Yes, it's me!" Hermione said proudly.
"You're different, you—you mudblood." Draco said staring at Hermione.
"Don't call me that! I prefer to be called by my own name, Hermione." she said.
Then she walked through the corridors towards the Gryffindor tower. Her feet are already aching from what seemed to be miles of walking.
Finally, she reached the Gryffindor tower after twenty minutes of walking. She met the fat lady who was singing.
"Hey! I'm here and I want to go in. My feet are aching." Hermione said trying to stop the fat lady from singing.
"Oh, my voice was incredible, isn't it?" the fat lady said.
"I want to go in because my feet are aching." Hermione said politely.
"Password?" the fat lady said with a tune.
Hermione said the password and went in the girls' dormitory. She took off her high heels and massaged her feet. It was very painful; it was as if she walked on a bed of needles.
Then she tried on her halters, she liked it but it felt awkward. Hermione Granger is not known to wear skimpy clothing. So, she put on a thin jacket over it. She wore one of her flat sandals because she wouldn't risk another hour wearing those heels. She went down to the great hall to have some dinner.
She ate her mashed potatoes and roasted beef silently and tried not to look at Harry. She was waiting for Harry to turn his head back to her but he did not. He was surrounded by pretty girls surrounding him and Clarisse was sitting on his lap. She could not help looking at Harry's green eyes.
She just smiled but deep inside her was hurt. She did not know what to do already. Harry had stopped asking her questions about the charms from Flitwick's classes.
Ron remained Harry's friend. He goes with Hermione several times but most of the time he's with Harry trying to get some girls from Harry's crowd. She felt sad. She needs someone to comfort her, someone who can heal the deepest wounds in her heart. Ginny was there but it was not enough, she needed someone who would care for her until the end.
After eating, she silently went out of the room, hurt. Tears stained her face. Suddenly, someone pulled her into an empty classroom. The mysterious person hugged her tight. She felt as if she were in heaven. She felt his muscled arms. It was like Harry's.
"Harry?" she whispered. The person didn't answer. The mysterious person loosened his hug and allowed Hermione to go out of the classroom.
"You can go now." The mysterious person said.
Hermione went out of the classroom and walked towards the dormitory with a little happy feeling in her heart. At last, she had a true smile on her face. She went to bed as soon as she reached the Gryffindor tower.
The next morning, she told Ginny about the person who embraced her. Then Ginny had a funny look on her face.
"Who's that person you're talking about?" Hermione said.
"Oh, I forgot to think about that, his hug was so tender that I even forgot that Harry and I had a fight. But he had muscled arms like Harry's." Hermione said.
