It was the start of school once again. Harry sat on board the Hogwarts Express, beside Luna and Neville — Ron and Hermione were still attending to their duties.
It was going to be his sixth year of Hogwarts, and hopefully, he would have a normal year for once. Harry relaxed, listening to the sounds, taking in the quiet environment both inside and outside the train. Suddenly the compartment door opened. Draco Malfoy and his cronies came in, smirking. He drew his wand and Harry, realizing, reached for his pocket."Femina Mutatio!" he shouted. A bright pink light emitted from his wand, but nothing happened. Harry just stared at him, having just drawn his wand a bit too late, and Malfoy snickered.
"Uhh… was that supposed to do anything?" he stared, confused. After a few moments, Neville and Luna started laughing. Harry joined in as well. Malfoy flushed, realizing he failed his curse, and beckoned Crabbe and Goyle out the compartment.
The laughter died almost immediately, and the room became quite nervous. "Maybe he just wanted to scare you, Harry. He wanted you to be scared." Neville suggested, breaking the silence.
"I dunno…" Harry said, uncomfortably. Maybe Malfoy had just wanted to scare him. Yeah, that made total sense. Or maybe his magic was weakening. The others were looking at him as though he was missing a limb or something.
Luna Lovegood started poking around his body, first at his back, the at his legs, and his arms. "Nothing wrong," she muttered. "Just drop it, okay? I'll ask Hermione about it." Harry said, but they did not reply. They just stared at him.
In a while, Hermione and Ron came back in. Harry immediately asked about the curse. "Hmm… you say femina mutatio? Haven't heard of that…" she mused, and took out a suitcase. Harry looked into it. It was a hole, with a ladder straight down to what definitely was a library. "You own a freaking library?" he exclaimed. Hermione blushed. "I'll be in there looking, alright? Its a perfect replica of the Hogwarts library, minus the restricted section." She squeezed in.
After almost an hour later, Hermione came out of the suitcase. "This is very interesting," she told Harry and Ron, "As the only spell close to the one Malfoy had cast is Femina Pectus mutatio, which causes you to grow, erm, big boobs for a day. Mutatio means transformation, while Pectus means — you know —" but Harry interrupted her. "So what does this mean?" he asked. "This means that he has failed the curse and that you have nothing to worry about." she chuckled. Harry's heart dropped. He was safe. There was nothing to worry about. He started thinking about plans to humiliate Malfoy right back…
