Chapter 15:
"Ginny! Help! Now!!!" yelled Hermione, her voice filled with panic.
"What is it Hermione?" asked Ginny, looking up from her Potions essay.
"My hair won't stay put. I don't have time to brew the potion I used for the Yule Ball, and I need it to look normal for my date with Ron," said Hermione desperately, her eyes begging for help.
"Don't worry Hermione, I read about a perfect charm for hair; I was originally planning on showing it to you, but I got distracted with my homework. Let's go to your dorm and help you prepare," encouraged Ginny, putting her homework away, and walking towards the stairs that led to the Girls Dorms.
"Oh Ginny, I don't know what I would have done without you," said Hermione, calming down a little bit.
"Okay, now the charm could be used to either keep your hair in its natural curls, or straighten it out. What do you want to do?" asked Ginny, once they reached Hermione's four poster bed.
"Well, I've never had my hair in normal curls, so I guess it would be a nice change. As long as it wouldn't turn bushy after a while."
"I think natural curls will look amazing on you; my brother wouldn't know what had hit him," said Ginny, drawing her wand.
She placed the wand on the root of Hermione's hair, and charmed one bushy lock at a time, by whispering the incantation. Hermione learned the charm was called the Naturalisa, and was used by many witch models.
By the time Ginny was finished Hermione looked mesmerizing. Her hair was no longer bunched into a big mess of curls. Every curl was defined beautifully and shined flawlessly. Her hair reached just below her rib cage, and was bouncing playfully down her back. She turned her head around to look in the mirror, and noticed how freely her hair moved when she turned her head. Once she looked in the mirror she couldn't help but gasp.
Never in her life have her curls been so tamed. Never has she looked at her natural hair and just plain loved it. She looked a little harder and touched her hair; feeling its soft texture underneath her fingertips. No, she wasn't dreaming, it really was her hair that looked so ravishing in the reflection of the mirror.
"Ginny, thank you so much," squealed Hermione, taking her friend into a choking hug.
"You're welcome Hermione, just try not to kill me," said Ginny, squeezing out of the hug that cut off her breath.
"Sorry Gin, I'm just so happy."
"I know you are, and I am happy for you. Come on lets get on to your make up," said Ginny, opening her make up box.
"Oh my god, how much make up do you own?" asked Hermione, looking at the big box that was filled with eye shadows, lip glosses, mascaras and eyeliners in every color possible.
"Not nearly as much as I need to own."
"Are you kidding? You have more make up than I have books, and that is saying something," giggled Hermione.
Ginny laughed along, and dug in her box, looking for the perfect eye shadow that would compliment Hermione's pretty face features.
It took Ginny half an hour to be finished with Hermione's make up from beginning to end. Hermione kept on sighing, and telling her it wasn't really necessary, while Ginny ignored her, and continued her artistic work.
"I hope I won't look like one of those porcelain dolls once you're finished with me," muttered Hermione, as Ginny applied some bronze to Hermione's cheeks.
"Just relax and trust me, can you?" asked Ginny, getting a little impatient.
"I guess I can," sighed Hermione.
"Voila!" announced Ginny, when she finished applying lip gloss to Hermione's lips.
"Gin, I'm scared to look," said Hermione, looking at her friend nervously.
"Don't be scared Hermione, you look beautiful," exclaimed Ginny, giving Hermione a large hand mirror.
Hermione slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the reflection in the mirror. Upon seeing herself, she blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She did not look like a porcelain doll at all; actually she looked quite natural, yet gorgeous.
Her make up was so gentle, yet it brought out her face features fiercely. She had a shimmery beige eye shadow on the base of her eyelids, and a dark brown color on the outer and inner corners of her eyes. Ginny used some black mascara on her upper lashes, and the result of it was amazing. Hermione always knew she had full eyelashes, but the added mascara gave them shape along with volume, that enhanced her beauty beyond a word of description. On the lips Ginny applied a very sheer nude lip gloss. It had a brownish shimmer to it, and complimented her full and beautifully shaped lips. Hermione looked at herself one last time before lowering the mirror.
"So, what do you think?" asked Ginny, looking at her friend expectantly.
Hermione couldn't say anything, mainly because she couldn't find a word to describe how she felt at that precise moment. All she could do was smile at her friend, to let her know just how greatly she appreciated it, all of it.
"You're welcome sweetie. Now go and get him," said Ginny playfully, as she began applying her own make up.
"Ginny," said Hermione mortified.
"What is it now Hermione?" asked Ginny teasingly.
"I don't know what to wear," said Hermione, emotions of panic overflowing once more.
"Come, I'm sure we'll be able to find something," smiled Ginny, leading Hermione to her closet.
Ginny browsed through Hermione's closet with much difficulty. It took her a long time to find something suitable, yet it wasn't exactly what Ginny was looking for.
"You know what? You need a new wardrobe. Remind me to take you shopping at the first chance we get," said Ginny, sighing.
"What am I going to do?" asked Hermione, terrified.
"I'll just alter your clothes for you, don't worry; you got me for a friend, remember?" soothed Ginny.
"Oh Ginny, you're just great," sobbed Hermione.
"No tears!" Ginny ordered. "You'll ruin your make up."
"Put these jeans on," she said, handing Hermione a pair of dark blue jeans; Hermione obeyed. The jeans had a weird shape to it. They were high cut, and fitted very loose. Ginny took hold of her wand and pointed it towards Hermione's jeans.
Soon enough, Hermione stood in front of Ginny, in low cut, tight fitting, skinny jeans.
"Ginny, I'm not sure I'll be able to walk in these," complained Hermione.
With one more swish of her wand, Ginny changed the texture of the jeans from coarse to stretchy.
"Is it better now?" asked Ginny.
"Much," smiled Hermione.
"Now, you need something cute for a top," remarked Ginny. She handed Hermione a baby blue sweater. It looked like the kind of sweaters little girls steal from their daddy's to walk around in comfortably around the house. Definitely not the kind of sweater a teenager would wear for a first date.
Ginny changed the color of the sweater to dark brown, and shrank it to fit tightly against Hermione's body. A few more swishes with her wand, brought the final result that was sure to take Ron's breath away. Hermione's ugly huge sweater was now very cute and trendy. It rolled off Hermione's shoulders in a big fold, and revealed Hermione's velvety skin; its length was shortened so it ended right bellow her belly button, leaving very little stomach skin to be revealed.
Ginny lent Hermione her dark brown cowboy boots that were now a very trendy fashion. They were calf high, and had small heels that were bound to be comfortable during their long day at Hogsmead. The skinny jeans fitted perfectly into the boots, and the look was complete with an added dark brown suede belt, that laid teasingly along Hermione's curvy hips.
"You look perfect!" exclaimed Ginny, giving her friend one last look.
"Are you sure?" asked Hermione, afraid to look in the full length mirror. Never in her life had she worn clothes that fit so tight, and seemed so revealing.
"Positive," beamed Ginny, leading Hermione towards the mirror.
Surprisingly enough, Hermione loved what she saw. As tight as the clothes felt, they did not look it. She looked very cute, yet there was lots left to the imagination, which was always a good thing. Hermione turned around and saw how the clothes Ginny altered brought out her curvy figure. Hermione endured a breathtaking beauty, yet she constantly failed to reveal it.
"Ginny, thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you," said Hermione, hugging her friend.
"Don't thank me, thank Mother Nature, she was very kind to you," said Ginny, as she once again returned to getting ready herself.
Hermione waited for Ginny while she got ready. Ginny settled with leaving her hair in its beautiful red waves. She applied make up that was just as simple and beautiful as Hermione had on; only Ginny chose shimmery white, and bright turquoise colors for herself. The pattern of Ginny's eye shadow was a little different, but it complimented her brown eyes like no other pattern could.
For her outfit, Ginny picked out a short light denim skirt, and a turquoise turtleneck sweater. The sweater was tight against her upper body, yet it covered it completely, and as an add on she picked a matching denim jacket, that was waist high.
Ginny was a big believer in the rule that if you want to look sexy, yet elegant you can only reveal one body part at a time; in her case, she revealed her stunning legs. She picked out cute dark turquoise boots that had a flat heel and a pointy toe.
"All ready," said Ginny, smiling at her reflection in the mirror.
"You look stunning," said Hermione.
"Thanks, so do you," replied Ginny smiling; the two girls grabbed their traveling cloaks and made their way down to the Gryffindor common room.
