Hermione had only been in her room for a minute when Ginny came bustling in. She was, the human personification of a tornado, she was strong, formidable and would take down anything that stood in her way.
She snooped through Hermione's drawers and closet and said "Bloody hell Hermione, there's barely anything in here".
"Yeah… I only grabbed a few things last night, most of it is still at the other apartment".
Her stomach sank at the though of this, most of her belongings were there, were Ron lived, the one person she did not want to see because she knew if she did he would guilt her into giving the marriage yet another chance. As if able to read Hermione's mind Ginny quickly said,
"I can always pick up your stuff or send someone to get it for you, but personally, I think it's time for a change"
"A change?" Said Hermione
"You know" said Ginny kindly as she threw a plain white t-shirt and some jeans at Hermione "after a big break-up or life-changing event, it's always good to re-invent yourself, give yourself a clean slate, a new start".
Hermione considered this as she sat on her bed, sipping on her tea. It wasn't like her to be rebellious, to change radically. She has always been quite conservative and gave more importance to work than her wardrobe and her appearance. It was probably this that had pushed her now-former husband to search for other witches. This thought lit a fire in her belly and made her blood bubble, anger simmering inside her.
She swigged the last of her coffee and said, "you're right. It's time for a change and you're going to help me" in a voice that was much more confident than what she felt.
Ginny, who was bent over browsing through Hermione's shoes got up so fast she smacked her head on a shelf. She swore loudly, then composed herself.
"Really?" She said feeling her head to make sure there wasn't a bump "I thought it would take a lot more convincing than that".
"I'm tired of being predictable, of being boring and of putting everyone and everything else before myself" Hermione explained, convincing herself as much as Ginny that this was the right thing to do.
"Exactly!" Said Ginny throwing a pair of black flats at her "now go get ready, lots of shopping to do!"
Hermione smiled as she grabbed her clothes and made her way into the bathroom. She changed into her white shirt and skinny jeans and looked at her own reflection. There were bags under her puffy eyes, and her hair was unkept and wild.
She grabbed her wand and in a moment had her hair tamed into neat curls. She then splashed some cold water onto her face, dried it and quickly put on some foundation and concealer to hide the tiredness. Grabbing her mascara and eyeliner she quickly did her eyes, popped on some lip balm and slipped her flats on.
She went back into her bedroom, grabbed a small black leather handbag where she put her wallet, wand, and cellphone (there were certain muggle contraptions she felt were useful, a cellphone was one of them). Making her way back into the kitchen she saw Ginny who in the living room, sprawled on the sofa.
"I'm ready" called Hermione from the kitchen as she pocketed her keys and Ginny bound to her feet.
"Let's go!" She said excitedly, flashing a dazzling smile.
The two witches made their way through London, picking up another coffee along the way and chatting away. It was a warm autumn day and despite what seemed like her life crashing around her, Hermione felt free and happy; she had missed her best friend.
They turned a corner and made their way into the grubby pub called the Leakey Cauldron. Both Ginny and Hermione put their heads down and made their way through the pub quickly. Neither felt like being recognised or bumping into a Daily Prophet journalist.
Moments later, they were standing in Diagon Alley. Hermione smiled, it brought back memories of shopping for school books, robes and quills in preparation for Hogwarts. They entered the first shop, and Ginny set to work, making her way through dress robes, and dresses.
"Err. Ginny?" Said Hermione
"Yes?"
"Those are a bit fancy, when am I suppose to wear something like that?"
"You need to get out more, drinks, clubs, and for starters the Ministry Christmas party that is coming up soon"
Hermione groaned. She was suppose to have been attending that with Ron. They both worked at the Ministry and always attended work events together. She supposed that Ron would still be attending, but she didn't know which witch would be on his arm. The thought of that brought back the familiar pang of anger.
"Right, lets go to the changing rooms!" Said Ginny with a mountain of clothes in her arms.
Hermione tried on a long silver gown that trailed on the floor and had a plunging back, a black dress with a slit up the leg, and a small tube dress that was emerald green.
"Green?" Hermione said, stepping out of the dressing room.
Ginny whistled at her and got up
"You look incredible in that!" Said Ginny "and I know you and I are both proud Gryffindors but green looks great on you!"
Hermione turned and looked at herself in the mirror, she wasn't use to showing much leg, or anything else for that matter. But instead of being uncomfortable she felt empowered, even sexy, her legs were slim, but muscular, her cleavage was highlighted instead of hidden and the colour did look good.
"You're right. This is good."
She purchased all the dresses along with some new formal dress robes, they made their way through all the shops in Diagon Alley and shopped to their hearts content and Hermione even picked up a stack of books.
On their way back to Hermione's flat they even stopped in some muggle shops. Despite being a pureblood Ginny loved muggle fashion and they both treated themselves to some new handbags and heels.
Finally they made it back. Hermione dumped all her bags in her room and perched herself on the kitchen counter waiting for the kettle to boil.
"Isn't Harry expecting you?" Asked Hermione, grabbing two mugs and dropping teabags into them.
"No" said Ginny "I warned him I would be spending time with you, in fact he was the one who told me to spend as much time as I needed to make sure you were ok"
Hermione smiled as the handed Ginny a mug and they both sat down and sipped on their tea.
"Bet you didn't tell him we were going to go out disguised as other witches and stalk my ex-husband" Hermione said.
"I didn't know we'd be doing that until I got here" said Ginny innocently but smiled wickedly.
She then looked up at Hermione and asked "you reckon Ron will be out tonight? I mean you two did just split up, surely he'll be at mum's sulking"
"On the contrary" said Hermione putting down her mug and tapping her fingers on the table "it seemed like the worse things got, the more Ron drank and the less time he spent at home. That's why nothing ever got fixed because he was never there"
"Prat" said Ginny, adding some honey to her tea before looking at Hermione intently.
"What are you looking at?" Said Hermione
"I'm trying to decide what colour I'm changing your hair to for tonight. I'm thinking black"
Hermione laughed, "shall we start getting ready?"
"It's like you read my mind" grinned Ginny.
The two witches made their way into the bedroom. Hermione had found another bottle of wine and they put on some loud music.
"Right! Come here" said Ginny, bouncing onto the bed and patting the spot next to her, Hermione sat. Ginny pulled out her wand and started murmuring underneath her breath.
Minutes later she said "there you go!"
Hermione walked into her bathroom and gasped. Her hair was straight and went down to her waist and was black.
Ginny walked in and Hermione stared, she had turned her hair blonde, shoulder length and curled it and had put a glamour charm to conceal her freckles.
"I think we look hot" said Ginny, teasing her curls with her fingers and examining her reflection "here put this on"
She handed her the little emerald green dress and Hermione shrugged off her clothes and slipped into it. She was unrecognisable to anyone who knew her.
They spent the next hour applying each others makeup, picking out shoes and handbags as they made their way through the bottle of wine.
"RIGHT!" Said Ginny and she got up and danced around "LETS GO!"
Hermione got up, looked in the mirror one last time and smiled - it was going to be nice being someone else for a night.
