4 MONTHS LATER

I got up in the morning, the sun invading my room. I moaned and turned around, for classes are off all week for Thanksgiving, so I could sleep in as long as I wanted. I have already read all my books and mastered my spells. This year has been a breeze. Also, this Hermione doesn't have to wake up early or study in front of everyone to look smart. All the new Hermione has to do is look sexy and smile and giggle if and guy gives her a certain look or touches her a certain way.

I sighed and looked at the clock. It blinked 12:07 in purple and I decided it was time to get up for the day. Lunch should be served in an hour. I got up and got ready, choosing a short jean skirt and a white tank top that also shows off my cleavage, like most of my shirts do. My shoes were black Osiris skater shoes. Making me look cute, innocent, and hot. Love it I thought, and then made my way down the stairs.

Ron and Harry were sitting there playing wizard chess, Ron, winning, as usual. Lavender was, thankfully, no where to be seen.

"Hello Harry!" I hugged him.

Ron looked up from the game and looked at my new on somble. He shifted his eyes when I sat down.

"So, Won-Won." I started, "Where's Lav-Lav for your morning snog? I could have sworn she comes running down here like a puppy getting a treat every morning."

"Hermione, can I see you outside, please?" Harry asked, pulling me out of the common room. "What the hell are you doing, Hermione? Have you completely lost your mind? First you stumble on the train like, well, dressed like that, then we get this story about you getting you belly button pierced, next you punch the shit out of Lavender, and now you are rubbing it in Ron's face. What's going on?"

"Nothing is going on. I'm just tired of Won-Won and Lav-Lav. Thinking they are SO great and they can just snog where ever they please!" I scoffed, "You didn't see me and Viktor snogging everywhere did you? I mean, honestly, it's completely indecent!"

Harry smiled.

"What?" I asked, glaring at him.

"You haven't changed a bit, have you? This is all a show, isn't it?" He laughed to himself.

"You know, Harry. This isn't just an act. It's ME! Sure, I came up with it while I was angry at the selfish git, but now I am enjoying myself! I feel beautiful Harry! For once in my life!" I cried. A tear ran down my soft face.

Harry pulled me into a hug. "You've always been beautiful, Hermione. You don't need guys staring at your… well, that area to prove it. Ron will come around eventually. I think he just wants his daily snog to be perfectly honest." He let go when I laughed. "You know, it's funny. When we were in our 2nd year, when you were petrified, I kept worrying because you are like a sister to me, Hermione. You really are and I felt as if I needed to protect you. I saw it as Ron has all of these brothers and a sister, whom which I love very much, and we had none so we were a perfect match, as siblings that is, but Ron, he wanted to stay in the Hospital Wing because he liked you, and over the years, that like has most definitely turned into love."

I laughed at him. "Bullshit. He loves Lavender. Not me. Anyway, it doesn't mean anything that he used to like me or if he still does or not. I mean, Ron and me? That's the silliest thing I have ever heard. If we can't even stay friends, how in the hell could we be… you know…?"

"Because I know you, and Ginny do more then what everyone presumes we do. We talk. I know about you and trust me; Ron doesn't even have to say anything. I hear enough in his sleep talk."

I laughed. "He sleep talks?"

"Yes, it gets annoying." He rolled his eyes, "Do you believe anything that I'm telling you?"

"If you're speaking of Ron's undying love for me, then no, I'll believe it when I see it." I walked down the stairs to the Great Hall. 'On second thought, I'm not that hungry.' I turned around and headed to the Black Lake for some piece and quiet, knowing I would be the talk of the school today.

The sun warmed my cold skin and the wind blew lightly threw my hair. I looked up at the little birds who were circling above my head. After what only seemed like 2 hours, the sun was setting behind the Forbidden Forest. I got up and started back to Hogwarts. About half way there, I heard someone calling my name.

"'Mione! 'Mione! Where are you?!"

I looked up to see Ron coming towards me. His red hair being lightly blown by the twilight winds. "Over here." I said, just loud enough to catch his attention.

"Damn, 'Mione. I thought you-"

I sighed, "Yes, Ron. I was screwing Malfoy in the woods."

"What?!" He exclaimed

"I rolled my eyes, "No, of course I wasn't. How could you even think I would do such a thing? Although, it's not the first time you believed something that wasn't true about me." I looked at the ground and continued to walk with him by my side.

"Come on, 'Mione. You not still on about that, are you?"

I refused to answer.

"What's going on, 'Mione? Why did you change like this? What happened? Is it Dumbledore's death? Is it the war? What is it?"

I looked at him, his eyes starting to water. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach. I can't believe I hurt him like this.

"Why did you have to change? I love you, 'Mione. I really do. It hurts me to see you like, well, like this. Who are you changing for?"

I let a tear fall and hugged him around his middle. "You." I shortly stated.

"What? You changed for me? Why would you do that?" He looked down at me.

I pushed myself away from him and looked at the ground. "Because, I hate Lavender for getting so much love from you just because she's, well, a whore. I hate her, I really do. I just thought that maybe if I were more like her, than maybe you would-"

"'Mione… I never loved Lavender. Never. I've loved you since 1st year."

"You hated me in 1st year!" I laughed

"No I didn't. Come on, 'Mione! You know that when we're younger, boys pick on who they like rather than actually show it!"

I smiled and looked into his eyes. His beautiful ocean blue eyes. He started leaning his face towards mine and closed his eyes. I copied, then when our lips barely met, I pulled away.

"What is it?" He asked softly

A tear rolled down my cheek. "I can't. You're going out with Lav-"

"'Mione, I broke up with her last night." He smiled

I looked up at him, then he wiped a tear off of my face. "Really?"

"Yeah," He laughed, "really."

I smiled, it started to rain. "Great."

Without warning, he held my face in his hands and gave me a most passionate kiss. "I love you." He told me

"I love you too." I grinned.

"So, do you want to, well, you know, go out and stuff?"

I laughed. "Yes, Ron, I would love to."

He smiled and grabbed my hand. We started back to the building. "So…" He started, "You dressed up like this and even got your belly button pierced for me?"

"Yes. I did. I wonder what I'll do with all my clothes now…" I looked up at him and smiled.

"You know, I rather like you in those, uhh, shirts and I've always loved you in skirts."

"So, you want me to keep the clothes?" I laughed

"Well, I mean, it'll be fun to rub in Malfoy's face that I have the one thing he will never be able to have."

"You know, I was thinking that during the summer only about you."

"Really? Well, the plan backfired, didn't it?" He laughed

"Well, no. I ending up with you for all eternity was plan B."

"Hmm…"
