Girl Gone Wild – Hermione's Awakening
I know, I know, I know
I shouldn't act this way
I know, I know, I know
Good girls don't misbehave
Misbehave
But I'm a bad girl, anyway
Forgive me

Hermione Jean Granger looked in her vanity mirror and could barely contain her excitement She couldn't believe it was finally time!
Her and Harry had been talking about it all summer it was finally time to us to be ourselves and take off the masks Harry and I have been wearing for so long. It's time for all those losers to meet the real us.
When Harry told me how he had been feeling, it was like I finally realized that I felt the same way too.
I can't wait to see the look on Ron's face he's going to have a heart attack (good for the selfish backstabbing bugger)
I'm so ready for this; everyone thinks they know exactly who we are. I'm the bookworm, know-it-all with no feelings
and Harry is their golden boy hero who would never do anything wrong. (Yeah right!) I mean really are they blind or just that fucking dense.
We've broken more rules in 5 years at Hogwarts then any other student has in its entire history and who came up with the polyjuice plan in second year, me and the coins for the DA last year that was me too.
I just don't get it. Okay Hermione stop ranting and get down to business.
She thought she had come up with a foolproof plan to get them resorted. It said in the school rule book that a student may demand to check their house status and that said student can be resorted if the sorting hat feels that the student's personality has changed enough to warrant it. So with the way we are now, we'll be wearing green and silver before you know it.
Hermione was sick of playing the goody two shoes that she knew she wasn't inside.. She knew what she was capable of. She was ready to embrace her naughty side, to be the Hermione that she always wanted to be. She knew she wasn't as good as everyone thought she was, she was a bad girl trapped in a good girl's life. She wanted to be free from all of it. She hated the feeling of being trapped, of not being able to be herself.
Harry was the only person who understood her feelings, he felt the same way. Her life with Ron was a cage that she had finally found the key to. She didn't want to do what was expected of her – Marry Ron and pop out the next generation of Weaselys that's not what she wanted, she wanted to do something meaningful with her life. Plus she wasn't really all that attracted to Ron anyway, She was with him because it was expected of her and the old Hermione always did what was expected. Being with him was convenient but ever since she had noticed Blaise Zabini that had changed. She was wild about him, and this year he would notice her too finally. She would finally be the type of girl Blaise dated. She would be a sexy Slytherin. This was her year, no more twinsets and plaid skirts, no more bushy mousy brown hair.
Now she was an Avatar, a sacred guardian destined to save the world. She smiled as she remembered the dream/vision that had awakened her to her new life
Flashback – Hermione's Awakening
Hermione was floating. Floating on an ocean of crystal blue water she felt perfectly safe and at ease. The water felt like perfect peace, like home to her. "Hermione Granger!" a voice shouted her name, all of a sudden a man was floating next to her, he had messy black hair that somehow resembled Harry's "Who are you?" Hermione said the man grinned at her and she was again reminded of Harry "James Potter at you service love" "Harry's father?!" she exclaimed why would she be dreaming of Harry's father she thought to herself. "He's the deal 'Mione love. You, my boy Harry and three other people are Avatars, sacred guardians meant to protect the world from the evil bastard Voldemort. It;s time to fight again Hermione, It's time to look deep within yourself and find the Avatar inside. Look inside, see what you find."
Hermione closed her eyes and let herself sink deep down into the water. She felt calm and at peace and she opened her eyes to find herself on the shore of a great lake looking into her own eyes. The woman in front of her was about 25 years old and beautiful, she had long mahogany hair that reached her waist with dark blue streaks running through it. "I am Lady Harmony... I'm you from 1000 years ago" The woman's melodic voice stated "You are the Avatar of water," She held up an aqua colored stone and a ornate hand mirror. "This is your Avatar heart stone and weapon, the mirror Myst. You must help Harry to defeat Voldemort. It is your destiny .
End flashback
Hermione woke in her bed that morning with a new sense of purpose. With her Avatar heart around her neck and Myst next to her she began her new quest toward a new life without Voldemort to worry about.
This next year was going to be amazing. Hermione left her house and met up with Harry at the Leaky Cauldron for breakfast. She walked in and ran over to her best friend "Happy Birthday Harry! It's finally time for us to shine like we were meant to."
Harry smiled and hugged his friend. "Yes it's time."
Harry and Hermione walked out of the Leaky Cauldron and went directly to Gringotts to withdrawal some money out of Harry's Vault. As soon as they walked in the goblin in charge rushed over to them.
"Mr. Potter It's a pleasure to have you in our establishment once again."
"Thank you, I'm here to make a sizeable withdrawal out of my vault."
Which vault would you like to take from? Mr. Potter"
Harry looked at the goblin with a quizzical look on his face. "I only have one vault, the one my parents left me."
"That's actually not true Mr. Potter, you got access to only one of the Potter vaults on your eleventh birthday upon your acceptance to Hogwarts"
"Today is your sixteenth birthday is it not?"
"Yes it is." Harry replied
"Then you now have access to the other 5 Potter family vaults"
"That does not include the Black family vaults left to you by your Godfather that you will have access to upon your graduation from school."
"Altogether Mr. Potter you are worth a staggering 79 million galleons"
"Oh my God, Harry!" Hermione exclaimed "That means to only people in the whole wizarding world richer then you are the Malfoy's!"
"Well right now I'd like to withdraw 10,000 pounds in muggle money. I'd also like copies to keys to all six of the Potter vaults for Ms. Hermione Granger here." Harry said indicating 'Mione standing next to him
"Of course Mr. Potter it will be done immidelity."
About fifteen minutes later the goblin came back with a briefcase and a small ring of keys.
"Here is your money Mr. Potter and here are your keys Ms. Granger"
Both teenagers took the proffered items, said thank you and left the bank.
"Where are we going now, Harry?" Hermione asked
"Into muggle London so we can get clothes in a place where no one knows or ever heard of us."
So the duo walked out of Diagon alley and into muggle London. They reached the shopping district and began to look for stores to once and for all banish their angelic appearance. They came to a small gothic shop and went in. The sales clerk walked up to then and said
"Hello, I'm Marie do you two need any help?"
"Yeah, we both want a complete makeover" Harry replied, picking ant the baggy jeans and worn t-shirt he was wearing
"Yeah we're sick of the way everybody looks at us" Hermione chimed in grimacing at her pink jumper and plaid skirt.
"Okay I can definitely help you guys with that" Marie said looking them up and down and then smirking.
Two hours and about 4,000 pounds later Harry and Hermione looked in the mirror and were shocked at what they saw.
Harry was now wearing a dark forest green wife beater in some kind of shimmering fabric, black skintight leather pants and knee high boots in forest green suede that added inches on to his diminutive height.
This was topped of by the most beautiful coat Harry had ever seen. It was an ankle length leather duster that had a silver snake with blazing green jewels embroidered on the back.
"All you need now is dump the glasses and do something with the hair and you'll be set" Marie said
Harry ran his hands though his saggy black hair and considered what to do with it.
Hermione whispered in Harry's ear "I know a really good hair lengthening charm and quite a few streaking charms as well."
"Okay Hermione that will work." Harry whispered back
Harry finally turn and got a good look at what his best friend was wearing. She had on a white tube top that had the words 'Perfect isn't easy (but I do it with style) in black lettering a white leather miniskirt and white knee high boots. Like Harry 'Mione also had a duster but hers was white with black angel wings on the back.
"Wow, Hermione you look amazing"
"You both look so hot" Marie said
Harry and Hermione arranged to have their new wardrobes sent to the Leaky Cauldron, said goodbye to Marie and left the store.
"Where are we going to next, Harry?"
"Look, there's a tattoo and piercing place."
"Okay, I brought my sketch with me" she said, pulling a scrap of parchment out of her pocket. Showing, Harry the picture of a pale blue phoenix rising out of dark blue frozen flames.
"Cool Hermione, here's mine" Harry said pulling a piece of parchment out of his own pocket.
It was a sketch of a black sword with a silver snake wrapped around it; the sword also had a golden lightening bolt etched on the hilt.
"Wow, Harry it fits the new you so well."
"Yeah, I thought it did"
They went into the tattoo place and were greeted by the tattoo artist who said
"What would you like done today?"
Harry and Hermione handed him their sketches
"We would like these Tattoos."
"Where would you like your tattoos placed?"
"I would like mine on my back" Harry said
"And I would like mine on the back of my shoulder" Hermione replied
"No problem mates, let's get started"
Four hours later Harry and Hermione walked out of the tattoo place with sore bodies, but happy they looked nothing like their old selves.
"Let's go back to the Leaky Cauldron and work on our hair, Hermione."
"Okay, Harry"
Back at the Leaky Cauldron Harry and Hermione worked on their hair using the hair styling charms Hermione had found.
Harry lengthened his hair to the middle of his back and used a charm to put shimmering green highlights that changed with every turn of his head through it.
Hermione made her hair grow down to her hips and put two special metallic blue streaks in the front. These streaks changed color depending on how the light hit her hair.
Harry and 'Mione look in the mirror at their completed looks and saw no trace of the goody two shoes Harry and Hermione that everyone stepped all over. This was the new Harry Potter and Hermione Granger that wouldn't take any bullshit from anyone.
Hogwarts was in for a very rude awakening.
