Broken Lives

Ch3...Hermione Reborn

Hermione left the Great Hall with Harry and Ron. \'Are you coming to watch us practise\' Harry asked. \'No, I think I\'ll go study in the library,\' Hermione replied. She ignored their protests and made her way back to her room. She locked the door after she entered and went to stand before her mirror. Outwardly she looked the same, but inside, she knew she would never be the same again. it was all Harry and Ron\'s fault, why had they never noticed she was a girl, maybe if one of them had wanted her as a girlfriend she wouldn\'t have been alone and at Malfoys mercy. She looked at herself again \'no wonder the boys never look at me,\' she thought,\'I look a mess!\' She decided that would have to change, she striped down to her underwear and looked at herself again. Her figure was good, all she needed to do was show it off. She rummaged through the back of her wardrobe and found a pair of last seasons shorts and a halter top. after wiggling into the tight shorts, she stipped off her bra and put on the halter top. Her breasts had grown significantly over the last year and now threatened to spill out of her top, the hem of which left several inches of bare skin visible above the top of her shorts. \'Well\' she thought, \'no one could help notice she was a girl now.\' Next she turned her attention to her hair, true, it wasn\'t as bushy as it had been in her first year, but it was time for a change, the more drastic the better. She took her wand, and with a few well placed severing spells, her long locks fell to the floor. She ran her fingers through her close cropped curls, true, it was almost a boyish cut, but the contrast to her outfit made the effect even more dramatic. One final touch was needed, she went to her trunk and pulled out the make-up kit her mother had insisted on buying her over the summer. Her make-up skills were not great, but she artfully applied eye shadow, mascara and lipstick, not too much, but enough enhance her cinnamon eyes and full lips. Now to present her new look to the world, she slipped on a pair of neakers, grabbed a textbook, and headed from her room. She would go watch the Quidditch practise afterall, what better place to find some fit hormonal teenage boys.
With her head held high she made her way through the corridors on her way to the front door. She noticed several conversations stop abruptly as she walked by, and she smiled to herself, finally she was being noticed. Harry spotted her as she walked towards the stadium and flew over to Ron. \'Who\'s that?\' he asked pointing her out to Ron. \'Blimey Harry, I don\'t know, but boy is she hot!\' Both boys jaws dropped when Hermione took her seat in the stands. They both flew over to where she sat, \'Wow Hermione,\' Ron said, almost drowling \'when did you turn into a girl!\' then almost as an afterthought said, \'and what did you do to all your hair?\' Harry was simply lost for word, trying not to stare at her chest. Hermione smiled, \'I\'ve always been a girl, Ron, you just never took the time to notice, and as for the hair, I decided it was time for a change.\' Just then Ginny flew over, \'Are we going to practie or not,\' then she noticed Hermione, and smiled, \'Nice look Hermione, come on boys you\'ll have time enough to drool later.\' The boys snapped out of the trance they were in and flew back to the middle of the pitch. Ginny looked at her friend curiously and said \'And you had better tell me why the change later Hermione, like who you\'re trying to impress.\' With a smile and a wave the youngest Weasley flew off to join the rest of the team in practise. Hermione knew she would have to come up with a good story for Ginny, she would not be as easy to fool as the boys, maybe she\'s just tell her the truth, she was tired of being ignored by boys. With that thought she decided to head back to the castle. She didn\'t see that black figure watching her with interest from near the forbidden forest.

thanks to JTBJAB and Tainted Angel for your reviews. I think I\'ll leave Dumbledores insightfullness for a little later, and just try to add some extra twists for now.
