AN: I was going to quit writing this...but all of your lovely reveiws have fixed that! Please R&R! And, also, check out my other story Changes. It's a Remus/Nymphadora romance/angst. I personally like it better than this...but, apparently no one else does. I've only gotten 2 review on it!
Hermione was ready at five thirty the next day. She had made Ginny fix her hair and do her makeup. When she had asked Ginny for help, Ginny asked if she was trying to impress Professor Snape. Am I trying to? No, I don't want that greasy git to like me any more than I want to like him! But, no matter how much Hermione repeated this to herself, she was looking forward to see what Severus would look like. Especially dressed up.
Hermione walked downstairs to the living room. Harry and Ron were playing Exploding Snap in the corner.
"Hey, guys," Hermione said.
They looked up. Ron's mouth fell open. Harry started laughing at Ron's expression.
"What? Do I look bad? I knew I should have gotten the other dress...umm, Ron?" That brought Ron out of his stupor.
"Hermione, you look great," Harry said.
"Then, why is Ron staring at me like that?" she asked nervously.
Ginny came up behind her, rolling her eyes at Harry. "Seriously, Hermione. For being so smart and such, you really are naive."
Harry laughed, "Hermione, he's realizing that you're female." He drew out the last word.
"Oh," Hermione said sitting down to put on the black heels Ginny threw at her. "I see."
Truth be told, Hermione thought she actually looked nice. Ginny and Hermione went dress shopping with Tonks earlier that day. Tonks and Ginny convinced her to buy a black strapless dress. It had a high waist and stopped at her knees. Her hair wasn't its normal frizzy mess. Ginny had put a spell on it to make it curl. She then styled in a 30s bob, and put a sparkly bobby pin in her hair. Her makeup was very natural, except for the lipstick. Hermione thought that the red lipstick was too bright, but Ginny assured her it looked fine.
Fred and George came into the room. They stopped talking when they saw the new Hermione.
"Wow, Hermione, you look great," Fred said.
"Too bad you have to waste it on Snape."
The next 45 minutes were spent talking about Hermione's date.
