Pretty Girls

Chapter Five

I opened the rest from my family and friends at Beauxbatons and then was on my way back to my common room when Xael came around a corner weeping.

"What's wrong Xael?" I asked concern lacing my words

"M-my brother Cadan is dead!" she cried

"Ohmigod, I am so sorry Xael." I said as she wiped her tears

I didn't really know Cadan, but Xael was very close with her older brother.

I continued my walk after we talked a bit more, when Hermione grabbed my arm and pulled me into an empty classroom

"I need your help Chloe." she said

"With what?" I asked

"Well, I've never been able to tell anyone this and I know Ginny wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut about it and I only have one other girl friend." she said

"Ok?" I said

"Well, I really like Ron, but he won't even give me the light of day, he even went so far yesterday to say I dress and act like his mother." she said

"Well, are you asking me for a makeover?" I asked slowly growing excited

"I suppose." she said flatly

I squealed in excitement and got out a portkey and told Hermione to wait here until I got back and I appeared in Bella's room at Beauxbatons

"Bella?" I asked

"Chloe!" She yelled tackling me in a hug

"This is an emergency, I need your help with a little makeover project I'm doing for a friend at Hogwarts." I said seriously as Bella scrambled around packing a bag

"I'm ready." she said

We used one of our other emergency portkeys and went back to the classroom Hermione was waiting in.

"Bella this is Hermione Granger, one of my best friends." I said

They talked for a minute and we went to the Gryffindor girls dorms and began going through Hermione's clothes.

"No. More. Grandma. Sweaters!" Bella yelled throwing one after each word.

I switched those for some prettier sweaters and cardigans, most of her clothes were fine, but her dresses! They needed serious work! I took out a ton of odd dresses and replaced them with some that didn't look good with my blonde hair. I gave her a pretty red one with a sweetheart neckline, a gold one with a high neck lace overlay, and a black dress that was too small for me, it was a simple skater dress. I looked at her shoes and screamed, all she had were Mary Janes of assorted colors and one pair of ancient tennis shoes. I dragged her to my dorm and pulled out shoes that were too small for me, I have big feet. I had a pretty pair of stilettos, a lower pair of pumps, cute sneakers and a pair of flats.

"I'll break my neck in those heels!" she screamed

"We'll teach you how to walk in them." said Bella

"Fine!" she said, clearly not wanting to start an argument

I used Madame Maxine's Walking in Heels lessons to help me, it was actually part of our classes, "all proper ladies must know how to walk in heels." was how Madame Maxine started the lesson in my first year.

I taught Hermione how to walk and run in them and by the end of the day, Hermione Granger was a proper French lady, the final thing was piercing her ears. I had Seamus and Neville hold her down, I felt terrible as I took the needle to the fire and heated it up, Bella cut an apple to help with the bleeding after. I took the needle to Hermione's ear and she was screaming bloody murder, I was so happy I had used a silencing spell on the room. I was finally done!

I stayed in the Gryffindor common room, Bella got permission to stay for the week. The couch was occupied by an unconscious Hermione and the armchairs were occupied by seamus and Neville, we all talked until hermione got up to head to bed. I said goodbye to the boys and brought Bella to the dorm we were sharing.
