Hermione's POV 3

I think Ginny is right. Maybe I should make Ron jealous, and then he'll speak to me. But I'm not sure if it's right. Jealously isn't a thing to play with, it's like a weapon. But Ron deserves it, for what he did to me. Yeah, I should go do it, right?

First off, I got out my makeup box my mum gave to me during the summer. I brought it because, well, pretty purposes. I put on some eye shadow, mascara, blush, pink lip gloss, and some liquid cover-up. Then I put my hair down, combed it, and it had a wavy touch to it. Sprayed some hair spray and I looked smashing!

I needed to know that Ron was there in the common room. So I quickly looked down into the common room, and I saw him snuggling with Lavender on a love seat. Oh God, that sounded wrong. Since he was with Lavender, I slipped into something pretty hot. I wore a white tank top with a floral skirt with a black elastic band. Also, I wore some black ballet shoes and a nice brown long necklace, and with a jean jacket.

So, then it was show time. I walked down the stairs like a super model and had a nice smile on my lips. Once I entered the room, everyone stared at me in shock. Seamus and Neville were staring at me with their mouths open. And then I heard a whistle from the back, and then I giggled.

Then, the moment that I hoped for, I finally got Ron's attention. His eyes were glued on my face and I heard him whisper to himself, "Bloody hell!" Lavender then looked at him and slapped him on the arm and said, "What are you doing?" Ron looked back at her and said, "Well Hermione looked attractive." Oh my gosh, he actually said that? SCORE!

"How dare you Ron!" Then Lavender got up and walked upstairs. Ron hesitated to get her, but then sat down. I still had all of the boy's attention, and actually someone came up to me. I was talking to Parvati and someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and it was Cormac McLaggen. He then said to me, "Hey Hermione. You know about Slughorns party next week right." Hermione flipped her hair back and said, "Oh yes, yes I do." Cormac then grinned and said, "Yeah. Well I was wondering if you want to go with me." After he said that, I couldn't believe it. The plan was going ever better! "Oh yes I would!" I said loudly, so Ron could hear. "Cool, cool. So next Friday I'll meet you down here okay?" I smiled and said, "Yeah sure! Thanks Cormac!"

He walked away and Parvati tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Oh my goodness you're going out with Cormac!" I looked over at Ron and he looked pretty mad. Then I said to her, "I guess. I'm not sure we'll see at the party." She then giggled and said, "OMG!" And we held hands and jumped like little girls and giggled. After that little victory jump, I walked past Ron slowly. He stared at me with a mad grin and I gave out a little "humph" and walked back upstairs.

"Ginny!" I said when I ran into her room. "Yes?" she said as she was putting down her book. I sat down next to her and said, "The plan worked!" Ginny had a surprised happy face and said, "Oh my gosh really?" I had a grin and said, "Yeah. I got all of the boy's attention, especially Ron's. And it gets better, Cormac McLaggen asked me to Slughorns party!" Ginny's face went to surprise to an "OH MY GOSH" expression. "That's even better!" I then said, "Totally! I got to go get a nice dress for the party. Want to go with me to Forever Witch tomorrow?" Ginny's face went to happy again and she said, "Yeah sure! I also need to get a dress." "Sweet!" I said. "Well, see you later!" I said once again. "Later!" Ginny said as I was walking through the door.

Running into my room, I knew my plan, well Ginny's plan, worked. A few more steps, and Ron will be mine. :D
