Hermione's New Smile

Old drawing
I drew this back in July of 2005

Here's a good one, I loved drawing scenes from the books, even scenes that did not make it into the film. I loved this scene because it kind of felt like Hermione was changing from a girl into a woman, that her bucky teeth from the first 3 books showed her cute little girl self, then when Malfoy cast that spell on her where her front teeth grew really long and had Madame Pomfrey shrink them down but more than the usual size, it made her look more grown up, or to the boys "different". I loved this one, to bad it couldn't be in the film! Enjoy!

"Hermione," said Ron, looking at her, suddenly frowning, "your teeth..."
"What about them?" she said.
"Well, they're different... I've just noticed...."
"Of course they are - did you expect me to keep those fangs Malfoy gave me?"
"No, I mean, they're different to how they were before he put that hex on you.... They're all... straight and - and normalsized."
Hermione suddenly smiled very mischievously, and Harry noticed it too: It was a very different smile from the one he remembered.
