Because Now, I Am A Pureblood
Chapter 4: 90 of the guys were looking!
(NOTE THAT IT'S NINETY PERCENT OF THE GUYS WERE LOOKING. FANFICTION WON'T LET ME HAVE THE PERCENT SYMBOL)
Previously:
Once we got to Hogwarts and got our bags, I went to the Head's room. It was beautiful and spacious.
"So Grang—Kingsford," I heard a voice behind me.
"Malfoy. I can't believe this. YOU are the Head Boy?"
This is a nightmare that came true.
"Yes, I am the Head Boy, what did you think?" he spat. Same old Malfoy.
"Whatever." I went up the stairs and opened the door that had a plaque with my name on it in Gryffindor colors. The Head Girl's room was decorated in Gryffindor colors. This was going to be a great year. Besides the fact that I have to share a bathroom and common room with Malfoy.
Ginny entered my room after I finished unpacking. I had given her the password so she could visit me any time.
Ginny stared at me.
"What?" I said.
"You have potential."
"Huh?"
"Yeah. I never realised that. But now, looking at you, I know you can be it."
"Ginny, what are you talking about?"
"Hermione, you have potential to be the prettiest girl in Year Seven."
"Um. I'm not following."
"You are very pretty Hermione. You just need to enhance your beauty."
"Okay, seriously, Ginny. Stop your babbling."
Ginny took out her wand. "Let's see what we can do about the hair."
"Ginny! What?"
Ginny muttered a spell and my bushy hair turned into shiny tame curls. my hair color was a bit lighter and my curls bounced when I moved my head.
"Perfect!" Ginny said.
"Ginny, what are you doing to me?"
"Giving you a makeover!"
"I don't need one!"
"That's what you think."
Ginny looked through my toiletries and found some make-up.
"Have you ever even used these Hermione?"
"No. My muggle parents gave them to me for my sixteenth birthday."
Ginny put brown eyeliner on my eyes and light pink lip gloss on my lips.
"Look in the mirror." Ginny ordered.
I went to the mirror. I looked about the same, except shinier, prettier. And the eyeliner brought out my chocolate brown eyes.
"Aw! That's Gin!"
"No problem. I didn't have to do much work since you have clear skin and nice eyebrows. And with slender legs and a nice bust, the guys are sure to fall head over heels." I rolled her eyes. Ginny was very pretty herself with shiny red hair and stunning green eyes.
I changed into my robes and with Ginny, headed to the Great Hall for the feast and Sorting ceremony.
Me and the rest of the Sixth and Seventh Years were very bored by the Sorting Gat ceremony. We had seen it so many times already. We mostly talked with each other and goofed around. Occasionally, McGonagall would yell at us.
After the Sorting Hat went through all of the First Years, Dumbledore beckoned Draco and me to come up.
"Students, our Head Boy and Girl this year is Draco Malfoy and Hermione Kingsford."
There was whispering and confusion in the students. That didn't know that I was no longer the muggle born Granger. Dumbledore must have sensed this but he didn't say anything to them.
"Hermione," he whispered in my ear, "Let's not tell them. It's not any of their business."
I nodded. It would be cool to leave everyone confused.
"Let me remind you all that the Halloween formal will be held on October 30th, the day before. That is all, you may eat."
Harry was waving for me to come over to their table to eat. I went over and sat down. Seamus, Dean, Neville, Parvati, and Lavender looked at me weird. Ginny started to laugh.
"Hermione, why did Dumbldore call you Hermione KINGSFORD?" Parvati questioned.
"It's a long story," Ginny told them.
"Well," Dean said, "We have time."
I groaned. Telling this story was getting old even though I've only repeated it twice.
"Ginny, can you tell them?" I asked.
"Of course!"
So Ginny was telling them about everything and after she was finished, Harry, Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Ron stared at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You look different…" Seamus said.
"Yeah," everyone else chimed in. I looked at Ginny and she just smiled. Ron looked uncomfortable because Parvati was staring at him. Poor Ron. I should help him out.
"So Parvati," I started. "What did you do over the summer?"
She stared at Ron for a bit longer and looked at me. Parvati told everyone about how Padma almost died by falling off her broom. Ron looked over to me and mouthed 'thank you'. I mouth back 'no problem'. He must've been scared she would say something about their 'kiss'.
Dinner ended and everyone went back to their rooms. Ginny caught me by the arm.
"Did you notice?" She asked.
"Notice what?"
"That 90 percent of the male population was looking at you. That's like every single one of the straight guys."
"Really?"
"Yaah. And guess who stared the most?" She said smiling real big.
"Um. I don't know considering I wasn't paying attention to who was looking at me."
"DRACO MALFOY!" She exclaimed.
"Are you mad Ginny? How do you know he wasn't staring at you possibly?"
"Hermione, he was totally looking at you."
"Oh…" Malfoy was looking at me, former mudblood Granger?
"Oh come on Hermione! Be happy that the Slytherin Sex God was looking at you! Do you know how many girls would kill to be in your spot?"
"Even if he did look at me, he would only be thinking of me as a one night stand."
"I don't think so. I've seen the way he looks at one night stand girls. He smirks at them and makes his move. The way he looked at you was different."
"Sure. I've got to get to the Head's room. See you tomorrow!"
"Okay. Bye! Don't forget what I said!"
"I won't."
A/N: Yeah, I said I would post this at night, but I finished it wayyyy early. Hopefully this chapter isn't too crappy. Maybe I'll post chapter 5 tonight then, but I'm supposed to go watch a movie. :)
SNEAK PEEK! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO BE GIVEN AWAY!
As I had thought, the Halloween ball was a success. People were excited about dressing up and not knowing who was who.
"May I have this dance?" I turned around. A tall guy with a green mask stood before me.
"Of course," I answered. The way he held me felt…comforting. It was different than the way I danced with the other guys. Plus, he was a good dancer. I looked into his eyes. They were a bright grey-blue. Where had I seen them before?
This is going to appear in a couple of chapters. I just thought it would be nice for you people to get some satisfaction of romance since there is hardly any so far. But there will be in later chapters, I promise!
