Chapter 1016 The Weasley's Ugly Duckling Grows Up
Chapter 106: The Weasley family's ugly duckling grows up
Also not surprisingly, Ginny accepted Harry's invitation to dance.
In fact, many senior boys had invited her before, but she rejected them all.
The reason was simple, she had been waiting for Harry.
"Ginny? Ginny?"
Hermione, who had just finished drawing the map, called out several times, but Ginny, who was standing in the corridor, still did not respond.
"Ginny!"
This shout almost made her jump up on the spot.
Hermione steadied her, "Why are you standing there in a daze?"
"I..." Ginny held her hot little face with both hands, obviously encountering something embarrassing.
Vincent on the side was very tactful. He said hello and went into the activity room.
Not long after he left, Ginny had almost recovered.
The corridor was not a good place to talk, so they came to an empty classroom at the corner.
Seeing that her face was still blushing, Hermione seemed to guess what had just happened.
There aren't many things that can make Ginny shy, and most of them are related to Harry.
Every time the Gryffindor team trained, she would always bring Luna to sit in the audience.
During every match, her laughter would suddenly rise when Harry turned his head to look at her.
When watching the Quidditch World Cup in the box during the summer vacation, every time the players on the field had a wonderful performance, she would subconsciously look at Harry.
Some time ago, when Harry successfully took the golden egg, she was so happy that her eyes turned into crescents and the corners of her mouth almost touched her ears.
With so many small details, how could Hermione, as someone who has experienced this, not know that she has a crush on Harry.
Ginny felt even more embarrassed by her half-smile.
"Do you...know that I..."
Hermione reached out and gently tidied her messy red hair. "I know, it's just that I like Harry. It's not something shameful."
Ginny's body tensed up. "How...how did you know that?"
Hermione smiled and withdrew her hand without saying a word, just looking at her quietly.
Ginny held her slightly hot face in her hands and said, "Well, I said, Harry came over to invite me just now."
Hermione seemed a little surprised. "Invited you to be his dance partner? Did you agree to it?"
"Shh..." Ginny pulled her little hand anxiously, "My mind was in a mess at the time, and I just remember that I promised him in the end."
"And you just stood there like an idiot?"
"Ah."
"So when did he leave?"
"I do not remember."
Hermione looked defeated. She pulled Ginny's hand and said, "You can't do this. Let's go."
"Go? Where to go?"
"Take you to regain your confidence."
Ginny was taken to the girls' dormitory in a daze.
Hermione's dormitory was still the same as before, except that the neatly stacked textbooks in front of her bed were replaced by fashion magazines and car magazines.
Ginny was led to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror without makeup, and then looked at the various beautifully packaged bottles and jars on the table. It was the first time she discovered that there were so many kinds of cosmetics for girls.
Hermione tied up her hair, then picked up the cleanser and poured it into her hands to spread evenly. "Harry rarely interacts with other girls. Apart from Ron coming to borrow my class notes, I have never seen him take the initiative to talk to girls."
Ginny suddenly pursed her lips, "No, I saw him always staring at Lavender and Lara's Qiu before."
Hermione gently patted her slightly puffy little cheeks, "You also said it was before, but not now."
It was also very obvious that Harry had a crush on Cho, and probably Ron was the only one who didn't know about it among those who had a good relationship with him.
If Cho hadn't been in love with Cedric, Ginny might have accepted another boy's invitation to the dance.
After cleaning her face, Hermione sprayed some hydrating spray on her face, "I know what it feels like to have a crush on someone. What does Harry say? Don't be fooled by his quick reactions on the court. In fact, he is as slow as your brother Ron in many aspects."
Ginny couldn't argue with that.
It's really slow to not realize that you've been secretly in love with someone for so long.
Hermione waited until her skin on her face had absorbed most of the lotion, then began to apply facial cream, primer and foundation to her.
The makeup steps for girls vary from person to person, and these are just the preliminary preparations, followed by primer and foundation.
Ginny looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her facial skin was becoming increasingly delicate and fair. She immediately understood why she wanted to regain her confidence.
She is a child of the Weasley family, and she has been inevitably ridiculed by others since she was a child.
Those who have always looked down on their family, such as the Malfoy family, have told her to her face more than once that she looks like a beggar.
The ugly duckling in the Muggle fairy tale is her.
But the ugly duckling will grow up eventually. Although it has not yet completed the transformation, it already has some shadows of the white swan.
With such a good foundation, Hermione simply drew a few strokes of eyeliner, and her big eyes suddenly became much brighter.
Add some highlights on her face to make the overall facial contour more prominent, and she will look less childish.
You don't need eye shadow, and your lipstick doesn't need to be too bright.
On to the final step, the hairstyle.
Leave some bangs, tuck the rest of the hair behind the ears and tie it with a yellow headband, and the simple and beautiful half-down hair is done.
"Okay, are you satisfied?"
Ginny opened her mouth slightly and stared at the mirror, unable to believe that this beautiful girl was actually herself.
Hermione gently placed her hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure Harry would be fascinated by you when he sees you like this."
"Really...really?"
"Trust me." Hermione took her little hand, "Are you ready? We should go downstairs for dinner."
On the way, Ginny's expression became more and more unnatural.
She lowered her head, her face tense, and she didn't dare to look anyone in the eye.
"Ginny?"
"Ah."
"Look ahead."
Ginny looked up and met a familiar pair of emerald green eyes.
She stopped and lowered her head again in embarrassment.
The owner of those eyes was Harry, who was walking over from the other side of the corridor.
Hermione quietly tugged at the sleeve of Ginny's school robes, "Harry, I heard you found a dance partner?"
"Yeah." Harry was a little embarrassed.
He glanced at Ginny intentionally or unintentionally and greeted her rather awkwardly, "Hello, Ginny."
Hermione's lips curled into a sly smile, "Vincent is still waiting for me, you guys can chat, I'll go in first."
She pretended not to see Ginny's pleading eyes and quickly turned into the corridor leading to the Great Hall.
"Uh..." Harry touched his nose embarrassedly, "Ginny, are you wearing makeup?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"very beautiful."
Harry couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ginny after she was dressed up so carefully.
Maybe this is the feeling of being moved, Hermione who was hiding in the corner and peeking thought so.
