Chapter 1 ~ Prologue
“Oh my gods, Victor…will you look at this walking impotence spell!” Adam Sweetmeats gushed, his blue eyes wide with shock and dismay as he looked at the photo in his hand.
Victor, who had been reading a magazine in the empty beauty shop’s waiting area, stood up and strode over to his Queen and looked over his shoulder.
“Damn,” he breathed wincing, “Looks like a winner in the “I Need Help Badly” department if I ever saw one, my queen.”
Adam shook his head
They both gazed at the color photograph of a witch with prominent buck teeth, horribly mistreated chestnut hair, somewhat blotchy skin and a very thick unibrow. She was dressed in a black robe much too big for her. Her fingernails were atrocious. She was attempting to smile which made everything much, much worse.
“What’s her name?” Victor asked.
“Hermione Granger. She’s a Spells Mistress at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,” Adam replied. “Here’s her letter…”
Adam began to read the letter out loud to Victor.
Dear Mr. Sweetmeats,
I would like to enter in your “Marvelous Makeover” Contest. I have always been a kind of bookworm and focused on study and gaining knowledge for most of my life. I’ve won many honors for my mind and have acquired a good position. But it was a trade-off. I didn’t do any of the other things the other young witches did. No hair and make-up, sleepovers, practicing French kissing, or any of that. I thought it was silly, but now I find it was really preparation and honestly I was not prepared for the other more intimate aspects of life. No one even notices me unless I am introducing a new spell or assisting them with a project. I am twenty-five years old and have never had a boyfriend, gone out on a date, or even been kissed. Now that I have accomplished my educational goals, life is looking kind of bleak. I only see being alone in my labs with my experiments, notes and books in the future…ending up a spinster without ever experiencing passion or love.
Here Adam’s eyes glistened and he sniffed loudly. Victor rolled his eyes. Adam continued.
I would like for once in my life to feel beautiful and to be noticed for something other than my spells or intelligence. I would like to go out on a date. I would like to have a dance. I would like to know what’s it’s like to be held in a wizard’s arms and be kissed passionately. I know a makeover can’t give me a miracle, but if I am noticed at least once and put a twinkle in some wizard’s eye just once, then at least I would have something to cherish whether it goes any further or not. Well, you have the photograph and you have my letter. It is left up to you, Mr. Sweetmeats, if you think you can help me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger
Spells Mistress
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Adam brought his hand to his heart.
“Oh Victor, isn’t that the saddest thing you’ve ever heard?” Adam asked his consort, his lip trembling.
The chubby vampire Queen remembered when he was an outcast, alone, loveless, unhappy and in the closet. It seemed so long ago now, but he still remembered the sadness that overshadowed each and every day. He looked down at the picture again
Victor nodded.
“She’s a real loser all right,” Victor said, staring at Hermione’s picture.
Adam narrowed his long-lashed blue eyes at his tall, handsome lover’s reply. Victor wasn’t being very supportive of the poor witch. Adam knew Victor wouldn’t have looked at him twice when he was human. The Queen looked back down at Hermione’s picture again.
“Besides, you promised to give a makeover, my Queen, not work miracles. If you can’t fix up this witch…it will make the shop look bad. You’ll lose customers. The purpose of this contest is to show off your skills, my Queen. This witch looks like skill won’t be enough.”
Adam looked at Hermione’s photo with a critical eye. There was something to the witch, he was sure…something beautiful inside just dying to get out.
“But Victor, look at her bone structure. Look at her eyes. She has beautiful eyes,” Adam said, scrutinizing the picture.
Victor scowled.
“I can hardly see them with that huge eyebrow,” Victor said, cocking his head. “You’re going to need a lawnmower to cut that back.”
Adam scowled at Victor again, who grinned, showing a flash of fang.
“She’s our winner,” Adam said, staring at her picture.
Victor sniffed. He really thought his Queen should choose someone less…well…ugly. But Adam had made his choice.
“As you wish, my Queen,” Victor said, his brow furrowed
Adam ran his pale, long-nailed fingers over the photograph, then said softly, “Miss Hermione Granger, I’m going to make you one of the most outwardly beautiful witches in the wizarding world. You wait and see. Then you’ll show them. You show all of them what real beauty is. How it comes from the inside and has always been there.”

A/N: All right Esmeralda…I don’t do this often and it might not be that long…but here is an ugly Hermione about to be turned into a swan. The epilogue to Saving Miss Granger will be up before morning. Reviews welcome.
