Drabble 2:

Hermione did not know why she decided to use the shampoo again. It was the same shampoo she used at the Yule Ball the year before and it was just gathering dust in the bottom of her trunk. Hermione figured that she was sick of her hair being a bushy untameable mess but a nagging in the back of her head told her it was something else entirely.

So after a long grooming shower Hermione made her out of the bathroom with her hair hanging down her back in very long luscious brown curls. With her hair being no longer a bushy mane it was easy to see how long her hair actually was.

"Oh wow!" Lavender gasped when she saw Hermione exit the bathroom. "You look amazing! You will have to tell me what shampoo you used. I would love to get some!"

Hermione flushed lightly. "I ordered it from Hogsmead Apocrathy. I can show you on a Hogsmead weekend." She replied unsure of what to say. Lavender and Pavarti, even though she has been roommates with them since their first year at Hogwarts, had made a habit of ignoring the know-it-all.

"That would be the best! Thank you!"

Hermione grabbed her book bag and made her way down into the common room. She was greeted with gasps.

"Hermione!" Harry cried out. "You look very nice today!"

"Thank you Harry."

Ron, who looked like he was having a heart attack stared at Hermione. Harry elbowed him and he snapped out of his daze. "You look great." He said awkwardly embarrassed that he had been caught staring.

"Well... Let's go eat!" Hermione said and rushed out of the common room.

She sat down at the Gryffindor table, Ron and Harry sitting opposite her. "I wonder how many classes we'll have with Slytherin this year?" Harry mused grabbing a slice of toast.

Ron shrugged hooking into some bacon.

"Classes with Slytherin wouldn't be that bad if Malfoy grew up." Hermione stated. "Most of them want nothing to do with us."

As she ate her eyes strayed to the teacher's table and to one dark haired teacher.

She found him staring intently at her.

Hermione's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed pink. Why do I keep blushing.
