I don't own Harry Potter or any references to Dragon Quest VIII.
AU Sirus didn't die in fifth year.
Chapter 2
Last time we left Harry in extreme pain, screaming for help. Just what is causing this, no one knows. From the floor of the tower he sees someone running towards him, kneeling down as if to help. As he blacks out, he wonders just what he is doing here. And why would he aide a Gryffindor, let alone Harry.
Harry awoke to shocked murmurs. Looking around, he found himself in a familiar place, the hospital wing. They really need to put a plaque, with his name on it, above the bed he is in seeing as he graces it with his presence so much. A sad thought really. He spends more time in here then in Gryffindor Tower it seems. Listening quietly to what was being said makes him wish he hadn't woken up so soon. It seems that he hadn't been dreaming, Snape had come to his rescue, again. While Harry no longer hated Snape, it wasn't the same for Snape not hating him. Harry just couldn't find it in him to hate the man that had consistently been saving his life since 1st year. It takes a special kind of person to help someone they hate with out any thought of reward. Come to think of it, no one seemed to care about all the sacrifices the Professor had made and continue to do so to this day.
It wasn't that the potion master was there, that had Harry freak. No, the prize went to just what he and Pompey were saying. 'It couldn't be. They were mistaken. They were out of their gourd if they thought that he was a... No, No, No, NO!'
Throwing the curtain aside and standing, literally screaming, "I AM NOT A GIRL! ARE YOU CRAZY. I think you've inhaled to many potion fumes Snape. I mean look at me do I really look like a girl to you." Hari voice hitting soprano.
"I would take a closer look at yourself and hear your own dulcet tones before accusing anyone of lying," Snape smirk as he sneered at Hari.
Hari looked down. Where once was a flat chest, he er she had to mounds sticking out her chest. "EEEKKKK! Thattt'ssss not meeee. I can't be a girlllll. Damn it! As if I don't have enough things wrong with my life. I have to change gender as well. Why. Can you tell me why. After everything I've been though, why is this happening to me. Can you tell me. Does either of you know how I change from boy to girl."
Hari came to find that they had found the remains of a old ritual protection that had broken after so long. From what she was told by Snape that rituals like that can't last forever, that it last so long as it did speaks of just how powerfully the caster was. That was another thing, turns out it had been her mum. It seems that the Professor knew her so well years ago that he could tell it was from her, even after all these years.
After a long talk about what it would mean for her, now that she was in her true form. New clothes and sleeping arrangements not with standing. Hari didn't even want to think about what all came with being a girl. Though finding out she was a girl, finally made her realize why she never was interested in girls like all the boys she knew. (never like Cho or any other. didn't date anyone. took Luna to the Tri ball as friends in 4th year.) She had often wonder if then a he was gay. She was relieved to says she wasn't gay.
She had found out that the whole school knew she was in fact a girl. Her things were being moved into the girl's dormitory. She would return there after Pompey let her out of the hospital wing. That wasn't likely for a few days a least, consider the nurse wanted to make sure the transformation had severely harmed Hari. With the Professor leaving to return to the dungeons, she returned to bed to get some sleep. It being midnight as it was.
An hour later, we see Hari tossing around the bed in a nightmare. " No, leave my mum alone you bastard. Mum! MUM! No don't hit her. You've no right. Mummy, please get up. How could you? Why you hurt mummy? I hate you! I wish you weren't my..."
And that it for this chapter. Just what is her nightmare about. And is it just a nightmare or something more sinister going on. And just who was it that was hurting her mum. What does her subconscious mean by 'my' , her what?
