As she finished with her hair, Hermione gave herself a once over in her vanity mirror, noticing a heated flush to her cheeks. She applied a quick cooling charm over her face and the redness faded to a slight blush, giving her just enough color. Just as she had for years, Hermione forewent any sort of heavy makeup, instead simply applying a layer of mascara over her lashes and a soft taupe shade of mauve over her lips. One last peek had her smiling at herself in the mirror. Of all the uncertainty she had been dealing with, at least Hermione knew she would look great for the Ball that she didn’t even want to attend.
