Attempting to go unnoticed, Hermione slipped into the first floor girls’ bathroom. It was empty as she had hoped, allowing her undisturbed use of the full-length mirror. Sliding her wand from out of the holster, she first casted a spell which shortened the length of her dress by many inches. No longer a gown, the red dress now hit mid-thigh, allowing for better movement and the ability to run. Likewise, Hermione pointed her wand at her black heels, transfiguring them into knee high combat boots. As a final measure, she pulled her wavy hair in a high ponytail.
