She stared at her visible features through the mirror. Her eyes once a chocolate brown now seemed to have a complete mixture of colours swirling around and she noticed over the past three months that they changed colour with her mood. Cool, yea, but impossible to explain. Her hair had settled down a lot over the summer, from bushy to a slight curl all because of a newly discovered spell she found, "Or was it the spell?" She quickly brushed the thought off her mind. She knew what had happened to make these changes so outstanding but it wasn't all bad, it came with curves and a bust that was in proportion to her body and she had gained a defined and slim figure to wear the clothes she wanted to wear and most shocking of all was that her ears were pierced! She promised herself she would never get a piercing as she felt it made one look quite trampish, but she had admit that she defiantly suited her ears being pierced that's for sure.

It happened randomly, she actually awoke one day at the start of the summer with pierced ears. Totally confused, she reassured herself that maybe it was just an after effect of a house party and that she just hadn't noticed until a week ago-but then things just didn't add up and the ear rings had an eerie feel to them. It was almost like they hung and hoped that with any sudden, slight breeze pulling away her hair, they would catch an eye with their glimmering effect. These were all influences towards the extra attention she had been getting this week, not that she minded as it made her feel attractive and popular. Being a bookworm was tiring and since she only had a couple years left at Hogwarts she felt that there had to be more to tying too hard and allowing yourself you constantly get bullied, so this year she would leave her impression. This new change made her feel confident and strong.

She turned and pulled her Hogwarts trunk out from under the bed and lifted the lid, it was packed full of textbooks, which helped with her grades last year. She wondered would they help now? Or would she need new ones? She reached for the parchment letter, an owl had brought 2 weeks ago and re-read the front page. She had put down the maximum amount of subjects to be taught this new year and it took her almost a hour to put certain textbooks in piles that she wouldn't be needing. After she finished, she sighed, "Not much of a change in load wise, eh?" Crookshanks purred behind her in response.

"But I still need three textbooks, Harpygrant's History of Heroes; Moons, Stars in more detail and Secret creatures and features untold," she glanced at their prices, "Ah affordable I guess.. I can get them later on today,"

"Hermione are you ready to go to Diagon Alley yet? What time do you want to go at?" her mum called up the stairs. Hermione ran from her room to the top of the stairs.

"How about an hour? I just need to pack and get a quick shower and that's me," replied Hermione. Se really needed a shower, she could feel her hair going limp and lanky.

"That's alright I'll toast some pancakes for you, before we head off," she gave a smile and walked into the Kitchen. Hermione walked back in to her room and place the clothes she wanted to bring in her trunk, she knew her mum worried about her, she noticed these changes too When they happened, she nearly grabbed Hermione's head to have a good look at her eyes, she still couldn't put her finger on what made them change colour so late in her growing age. Crookshanks purred around Hermione as she finished packing.

"Sorry boy, your not coming this time, it's too dangerous for you to toddle behind me. Your to stay and look after mum and dad, you hear?" laughed Hermione as Crookshanks stalked out of her room and down the stairs.

Hermione cast a spell on the case to decrease its size and transported it down the stairs along with her robes. After she raced up and dived into the shower, her feet and hands were cold and when the water hit her it felt almost hot against them. She quickly got washed up and stepping out, placed a towel around her. It didn't take her long getting dress and fixed up and her mum complimented her on what she was wearing as she passed her a plate of pancakes. It wasn't usually Hermione's style but she had taken a shine to this new trend. She had a cream and black, pleaded, short, skirt with a black tank top. The September month so far had cheerful summer weather so wearing revealing but decent clothes was a must for her. Her hair curled loosely around, shaping her face as it did and she had a nice shade of dark eyeliner to complete the look. After she finished her breakfast, she wrapped a thick, black belt around her waist and slipped her black boots and a short, black cardigan over the top just to top it off.

She climbed into the chair and waved to her dad holding Crookshanks and as the car began to roll she couldn't wait to get back to school as it was going to be fun…in all the right ways. She couldn't help but think as she applied the deep red lip gloss, that she would be quite tempting in some eyes. She Smiled a smirk and she defiantly couldn't wait to get her hands on one in particular.
