Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

I've edited the previous chapter a bit, not much, just two or three words. The next chapter will cover the reactions of the guys.

Hermione Granger had been looking for a change; she had decided that people couldn't stare if they didn't recognise her. Not a full out no relation change, but different. People who knew her well would be able to recognise her, but not people who were likely to point & stare.

So she owled Ginny asking for help.

Hi Ginny,

Can you please help me? I've been wondering, and I want a change. You were always saying I could look pretty if I tried, so can you tell me how?

Please DON'T tell anyone except my female friends. I want to surprise them. And that includes Harry. If you tell Harry, he'll tell Ron and Ron is not very good at keeping secrets.

You could ask Mrs Weasely if you could stay here for the rest of the summer. I know Harry would be happy, he misses you.

Please ,Ginny, I really need your help.

Hermione

PS: TELL NO-ONE!

And so Ginny had come to Grimmauld Place, making Harry & Hermione happy and Ron the opposite, not that he had any reason too, Ginny had split all of her time between Harry & Hermione.

She had shown up on the doorstep, given a surprised Harry a quick kiss & ran up to Hermione's room.

"Well Hermione?" She asked, standing in her bedroom doorway. "I've brought my makeover kit." She said, indicating the small pink bag she was holding.

Immediately, 'the girls' as 'the men' had started to call them had given Hermione a completely different style, showing off her curves, but not too much. They had gone on numerous shopping trips to the nearest clothes shop, and had used Sirius's money to pay for everything. He insisted that they use his money, even if he didn't know what they used it for.

When she went down to eat, she placed a charm on her face so they wouldn't see her latest make-up and new hairstyle. They were concerned about her, she knew, but their worries were unfounded. At least, that's what Hermione tells herself.

Hermione was in her room, as usual, it was the day they were supposed to go to Hogwarts. She had put on a yellow strapless top with a slit down each side. The top was loose, and had white patterns along the bottom. She had a pair of blue pants that matched the top, and just the right amount of make-up. Her hair was let down, and she had used a special conditioned to make it sleek and devoid of frizz. She couldn't even recognise herself!

'Hmmm… I wonder if they'll recognise me… I've got a plan…' She giggled mischievously.

She got out some parchment and wrote a note on it.

Harry, Ron & Sirius,

I've gone to my parents, I forgot something. They don't know how to send stuff the wizard way, and it's important. I'll see you on the train.

Hermione

She used Spellotape to stick it to the wall and wrote a second letter to Ginny.

Ginny,

I'm going on the train and I want to see if they recognise me.

Thanks for all your help,

Hermione

She stuck it to the door and enchanted it so that only Ginny could see it.

She then Apparated to the platform and waited.

I can't wait to see their faces.
