Author's notes: Well, I'd amended this chapter; it's better then the last one and I hope you like it!...

"Hermione?" both Harry and Seamus grasps in unison; they stared at each other as they realized having to have said the same thing, huffed and turned away.
Boys
Hermione glared at the little cluster "I was trying to study but with all these rackets; there's going to be an early class tomorrow, I got an assignment to hand in and I… Where's Ron?" Hermione asked upon not seeing him with the group…well, it's his birthday night and he's not anywhere to be seen in the dorm…Had the other boys lowered him down a well as a birthday prank?
Hermione roll her eyes, "Boys"
Harry and Seamus nervously edged closer to each other in side steps; hoping to shield Ron out of the corner of Hermione's eyes, which made Hermione stared at them suspiciously…
"What have you done to him and what are you hiding?" she pointed at a space behind the boys; where she assumed they had burnt a hole into floor or worse turned Ron into a frog!
"Nothing," Harry snapped at the same time Seamus tuned, "Soy beans, you won't like it," Harry blinked several times; he's in for it, it was obvious that he lied to Hermione because Seamus was disserved. He stared at Seamus in disbelief, "Beans?"
Seamus shuddered, "I have to say something, don't I?" … Soy beans…he knew that girls won't be interested with that topic…so Hermione would naturally backed off…but Harry just had to say something else…It's not his fault! But then again, 'nothing' on the other hand sounded much better…
Hermione tapped her foot impatiently, her arms crossed; she demanded the truth…the whole truth not 'nothing' or 'beans'.
"Nothing," Hermione repeated in an aggressive tone- she's bitter, cranky, she had an assignment to hand in tomorrow and its three bloody days she hasn't slept. Forgive the poor girl…she's just irritated and now she's lashing it out on Harry.
"Harry James Potter, is there something you're not telling me?"
"I-I…we-we," Harry began trembling, his voice all shaky…He doesn't like the moody Hermione…She gets scarier as she grew older…A sweat broke down his forehead, why does it has to be him, can't she picked on someone else? Seamus Finnegan…Yeah, yeah Seamus Finnegan…he got friends picked on them instead! Picked on Seamus Finnegan instead!
But, she doesn't want them; she wanted him…Awww…why is it always him who have to explain the situation?
"We…we…," Harry began desperately…Looking around at others for support or even someone to come up with something and distract Hermione from the central issue; Ron being a girl…and all…Oh fine, Harry had to be a man and confessed huh?
Harry sighed and dropped his head in defeat, "Ron, I don't know how long I could protect you and your secrets," he buried his face into his palms… "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Hermione stared at him strangely, "What?" and Seamus looked at Harry shocked; his eyebrows arched inquisitively…'Is Harry crying' the very thought would play a smile across his face, but it didn't…
"Harry," Neville began…He knows that Harry was under a lot of pressure trying to hide Ron's secret and all…but sooner or later everyone will know; Ron's secret that is…Or maybe not. It's just a temporary thing right; Ron being a girl.
Upon hearing this, Ron found his eyes watered…He didn't know that he being a girl had put so0oo0o00 much pressure on Harry…although it had only been a few hours, Harry had began to crack…
"Harry-," Ron whispered, "you don't have keep my secret," and stepped out behind the group; stepping out of the shield they hid him…
"Ron?" Hermione gaped
"Yeah," Ron shuffled the rim of his towel self concertedly. He kept staring down on the floor; he can't face her, no, not when he's a she…
Hermione opens and closes her mouth several times before saying anything…
"You, you looked-" she began
"Like a girl," Harry filled in the word and Hermione nodded.
To Harry's surprised Hermione had taken 'Ron being a girl' rather lightly. She didn't went screaming on the top of her lungs or curse under her breathes or even faint. She just stood there, looking paled.
Well, it's one of the things you learnt from Hogwarts is that nothing is 'impossible' and Ron being a girl is one of those things.
He doesn't seem strange at all and yet a telephone fascinates and scares wizards and witches.
Strange huh?
"Yeah, we just found that out a bit earlier than you," Neville informed… "I was pretty surprised" and Seamus nodded "I was bedazzled" and Harry glared at him," Seamus!"
"Harry, I thought you were crying," Seamus cooed; putting his arms around Harry's neck in a friendly manner…as if they were really close…not in this life, they're not!
And Harry huffed, "No, I wasn't", he hissed and tore Seamus's arms away from him…No need acting intimate because they're not! And there's no merit in it, they're both guys…BUT Ron was once a boy…and Harry's mind screamed.
OMG! All those 'pillow talk' nights, back scrub in the showers, the changing in front of others in the locker room after Quidditch and and…OH MY GOD!
Harry buried his face once more in his palms as he felt ashamed of his past; what had he become? Why, why did he do all those things with Ron? Harry quickly glanced at Ron; who had absolutely no idea what Harry was thinking, looked at him blankly. Harry turned away and moaned hopelessly into his palms…What had he done?
He's a monster!
Ron frowned as he failed to understand what is going on with Harry; who by what he witnessed just started screaming and whimpering with almost no reason at all...
He suddenly wanted to changed the subject rather then staring at Harry's unexpected behavior…It was a bit eccentric and now comparing him and Ron, Ron felt quite normal and beside Harry was starting to scare him…well in a good way.
Everyone stared at Harry and had absolutely no idea what was surging through his mind that causes him such pain; it was excruciating, maybe the memories of his Nimbus 2000 was brought back to him…It was hard for the guy. Seamus could remembered that Harry was unhappy for the whole week after having to discovered that he broom was shattered by the Whomping Willow…But now it was as if it was only yesterday that he's broom was shattered; his wounds are fresh and he's damaged.
Harry was never the same again…
Ron felt awkward and felt braver as he said, "How do you know it was me?" at Hermione to changed the subject
And Hermione looked at him rather confused…
"What do you mean?" All attentions were off Harry.
Had Ron guessed correctly? Please god tells him that he's right that he and Hermione had some special kind of connection and she can just tell that he, Ron, even in a girl body was Ronald Weasley. The spiritual connections; this must be the power of love…this must be
"That's your towel, Ron. It has your name on it," Hermione said simply.
"Oh," was the reply straight from the broken heart.
Hermione shook her head and glance over the boy's shoulders as she spotted a pile of clothes cluttered over the floor.
"What are you doing with those clothes?"
"We… we err… were picking out clothes for Ron," Neville answered since Harry was not fit to do the explaining anymore. Well, Harry is not in the state of mind to think or say anything…or maybe even the things he said now may not be appropriate; he might revealed his deepest desire or crush or even said to Hermione that she's bossy… Harry is not well… and it's best to he's kept shut for a while…
"Yeah, none of Ron's clothes fit him so we're trying to find him something to wear. It's not so very endearing seeing him in a towel," Harry added suddenly and everyone looked at him strangely.
"You're okay, Harry?" Hermione asked and Harry nodded, "Yeah, why?" twitch twitch
"Well, it was just that…you…you…were…before…I…never mind," dismissed Hermione and Harry frowned failed to understand what Hermione want trying to say to him. Whatever it is, it may not be important otherwise she would have finished the sentence.
"Yeah, it's not endearing seeing him in a towel," Harry repeated…'Or less' he thought and mentally smack himself over the head…He's thinking about Ron again and in an appropriate way!
"It's not?" Seamus asked clearly objecting.
"No it's not!" Harry snap feeling all boiled up again at the fact that Seamus has violated Ron's body again; Sexual harassments! Has he no shame? Well, Harry had shame and he's shameful…He's a sinner not a saint!
"Okay no chic flick," Hermione snapped at both boys and looked at Ron, "Ron, look you better come with me, I got some clothes I think would fit you," she added and smile sincerely…and that's all it takes for Ron to nod and agree to anything she says…
People are slaves for love…
Harry noticed this opportunity for Ron to escape the pervert Finnegan; sounded his thought
"GREAT! Ummm…Hermione is it possible if Ron could STAY in your dorm tonight?" 'Because every time Harry looked at Ron, he just…things are not like they used to be…he can't see Ron as a guy anymore…Ron's a girl!
And boys and girls are different that's why they had different bathrooms!
Girls likes make ups, boys likes Quidditch.
A girl likes pink, boys' likes blue…
Can't you see the different?
Hermione smile "Of course, Harry. You know I don't like the idea of Ron lingering in a boy's dorm now that he's a she," she added and Ron head fell low.
Hermione would never seem him as anything…the only relationship they'll be having is Sisterhood…Just great! He could never ever tell her how he feels about her anymore…he's now a she!
Fate is so0o0oo0 cruel…sometimes…
Why?
Harry seems happy with the idea of Ron going off and stay in Hermione's dorm, at least there's no Seamus there to stalk and perverted him… with those violating eyes…and thoughts…
No, down Harry! Well, at least with Ron gone, Harry would stop torturing himself with his disturbing thoughts about Ron and that he could just lie down and rest or something…
"Alright," Harry agreed and Neville nodded, "Ron, remember don't to kick your blankets at night, I won't be there to fix it."
Ron just laughed, "If I don't then you have nothing to do, don't worry Hermione could fix them," and Hermione nodded "Yeah,"
She quickly clutches Ron's arm in a friendly way and led him out the dorm chitty chatting about "Oh, gosh! I got so0o0o0 many clothes I want you to try on…" blah blah blah…Ron rolled his eyes…
Girls talk too much…
…
Seamus who was behind Harry's shoulder just watches Ron walking away in silence with those violating eyes again, "That's a really HOT body," and Harry eyes narrowed, glaring at Seamus murderously, "Don't make me punch you, Seamus," he hissed through his gritted teeth and Seamus run off to the bath room and shouted, "I didn't mean that!," But he totally do mean it.
Yeah, he did!
He only said that he didn't mean it so0o0o0 Harry wouldn't beat him up and he knew by running away, Harry couldn't reach him…so ha ha no beating! Well… not in the bathroom…a least…where Harry couldn't reach him…Right? Well… he locked it…and everything…
What could Harry do hit the door down with a jinx?
He wouldn't right?
"ALOHORMORA!"
He would
…
...
Heavy footsteps filled the empty hall, 5 shadow figures emerged for the darkness and into the light…quietly…softly…they came to a completely halt…
All 5 figures were in black cloaks with their hoods over their faces...so it's hard to tell what they look like but they were all very tall and when they came to a complete halt one of them remove his hood in frustration...and as he did that strong handsome face stood out, that luminous blue eyes, that paled face and that so light short brown hair was revealed…
He was young…very young
"This is pathetic!" he grumbles "We'll never find her at this rate," and was about lung at the figure in the front when others put their hands out to stop him… "Foolish moves…you put that hood over your face now, before you shame us all" they whispered and he huffed and turned away as he pulled his hood over his head to cover his face…
Ever since that night, their lives were never the same…and their princess's
Suddenly the figure in the front spoken with a cold voice "I understand Derrick, but we have to be patient."
And the boy who had resumed his hood…who, was, called 'Derrick' ranted about it, "for how long? We waited 15 years for this, how much longer do it has to be for us to accomplish this? For us to find-?" he couldn't finish his sentence but the figure spoke again
"I know, but now we have to get out of here, they're on our trail and soon they will capture us…We have no time to lose, we must find the princess…She's waiting for us and we must be there for her," The others all nodded to this and within seconds the figures vanish into smokes and disappeared…
"We must find the princess…"
...
"AND YOU NEVER TOLD US THIS?!" the roar of Professor McGonagall's disquiets the halls…Dumbledore had told them everything; he explained clearly and when he finished all of them look incredulous about it… Professor Snape was stiffen, Hagrid's jaw drop and McGonagall…well…SHE went BERSERK!
Dumbledore rolls his eyes, "I knew you couldn't handle it-"and McGonagall cut in yelling at him "Right you are, you NEVER told ME! WHAT WERE THINKING" and Dumbledore huffed "See, I KNEW you would react like this if I told you," and McGonagall looked offended by this, she was about to open her mouth to say something but Snape beat her at it…
"McGonagall, there's no time for these pointless arguments; we have to find Weasley," Snape snapped in his frustrate tone at the annoying couple…Honestly…they're like 160 years old if you put them together and yet they always have to argued at the vanity moments…They're like kids…They're 65 and they're very mature!
…
And Dumbledore nodded at this, "Severus is right, we have to find Ron. NOW!" but McGonagall just ignored this and went on, "But the boy, Albus…they wanted him…her NOW. Could this put Ron in danger if he…she don't leave with them?"
Dumbledore only huffed at this, "I'm afraid the girl is more confused of the situation then in danger, Helen," and the others nod…
To Dumbledore surprise McGonagall didn't snap at him this time when he called her 'Helen'; it was a childhood nickname he gave her but she never liked it when he called her that…well, at least not in front of other people…
"That's why we must find her, NOW!" Dumbledore resumed before his thoughts trailing off to his childhood
Snape shouted "WHAT! And no more hunting down those Celestial's Warriors?" he frown not liking the idea…he was s0o0o0o0o looking forward into capturing one…
"We found Ron we found them," Dumbledore said simply and Hagrid informed "Ron's probably up in his room," and they others nod, acknowledge it and race up the stairs to the Gryffindor Common Room…
Hoping to find Ron there before their guest does…
...
"You know, Ron. I always thought it would be kinda weird if you're a girl," Hermione suddenly spoken for the first time in several minutes while looking through her clothes, which, she laid out on her bed and Ron turned around to this, interested…He's all ears
"Yeah?" He asked and Hermione nodded, "Yeah, but you turned out pretty ok…Pretty," she said simply and Ron found himself blushing at the comment
"Thanks," he said faintly and Hermione smiled and went back looking at the clothe and pick out a very cute looking, fluffy pink nightie, "AHA!" she acclaimed and Ron looked at it , "I find you something, Ron," but Ron just frown at it…
"Pink isn't really my color. Blue or red or something…but not pink," he trailed off and Hermione just rolled her eyes
"You'll soon like pink, every girl LOVES pink!"
And Ron just frown at this, "I'm not…well I mean, I'm not sure if I'm a real girl, Hermione. It happened all of a sudden…maybe… maybe Fred and George played a joke on me or something that turned me into a girl," Ron smiled and nod; hopefully. Well, it could be possible…it's logic, Fred and George; his mischievous twin brothers would do anything for a prank even if it cost his life…
S0o0oo0o0o0o it makes sense…sorta…
Hermione huffed, "I doubt it, it's not THAT easy to transformed something even someone into a human…considering a boy to a girl…unless they used the poly juice potion," and it clicked!
Duh! It was so00o0o0 obvious!
"Yes! That's it…Fred and George must have slip some girl's hair into my pumpkin juice earlier!" and Hermione frown at this, Ron wasn't really convincing anyone but himself…he's really in denial
And it's VERY unhealthy…
Hermione sighed "Ron, you'll soon learn that being a girl is the best thing that ever happened to you."
Ron sighed, thinking to himself "Yeah and I could never get married to the girl I like and have a family…like any other NORMAL boys'
The very thought pains him…
Hermione hastily puts down the pink fluffy cute looking nightie and quickly pick out something that isn't so0oo0 cute OR girl AND definitely NO PINK! Hermione's eyes searches the pile and she finally caught something…She quickly hold up a very silky light weight turquoise night grown that would look elegant to the figure…silky, soft….like those Greek's dress…very oomphy…
Ron looked terrified at whatever was surging Hermione's mind…they're definitely not good ones… and he knew what she wants…it was s0o0o000o obvious…isn't it?
"OH NO!" Ron start waving his hands but Hermione just whined "Oh, come on it would look lovely on you," Hermione begged
And Ron huffed, "Honestly, Hermione what's different from it and this towel…except that it's drier, blue and have straps! There's nothing different about them! I'M NOT WEARING IT! I'M NOT WEARING A DRESS!".
But Hermione just clutch his wrist and sway it side to side whining, "Come on, come on you'll look great in it-," but Ron just pout and complained, "Nah ah," and Hermione bit her lower lips, "You could sleep with me tonight."
And Ron look interested at this… "Really?" and Hermione nod "Yeah, go to the bathroom and put this on. It will look great on you sister," and Ron's heart clinches…
When Hermione said 'sleep with her' she didn't mean 'sleep-sleep' and somehow Ron knew that she didn't meant to be ambiguous either…Urgh, they'll never be anything more then sisterhood!
Ron huffed and drops his arms in capitulation as he snatched the nightie from Hermione's hand and head to the bathroom to get change…
…
After 5 minutes in the bathroom getting change, Ron had finally manage to put the nightie on the right way…which pull it over his head and put his arms over the lope under the strap and pull the nightie down to his knees…Strangely… Hermione was right, the nightie looked great on him, the fabric was elegant to the figure and it felt so0oo0o00o soft, cool and light against his skin…like as if it wasn't there BUT it's there…and it felt s0oo0o00ooo0 comfortable not having to wear pants…
It makes you feel unrestrained…No wonder Scottish men wear dresses…well kilt…it's refreshing, breathable and comfortable…Ron was starting to like being to girl…
At least that way you don't get tease wearing a dress if you're a guy wearing the dress…But now he's a girl…and he LOVED it! S0o0o0 far…
What's more being a girl?
As Ron stepped out for Hermione to look at him in the nightie, she can only gaped at it. Gosh! She's right; the nightie looked lovely on Ron, it fits well to the figure. It's silky, showing the arms and legs and very lascivious…and Ron looked just like a girl in it…
"Oh god you look lovely, Ron," Hermione compliment and Ron found himself blushing again…
Maybe it's just one of the girl's things…you know blush when you're complimented by others…He began to felt like a girl already…
"See I always knew there's a feminine side to you and I gotta say you look great," she added and Ron raced to the mirror…he doesn't look that great, does he?
Ron take a closer look of himself in the mirror and as he did he smoothes out the wrinkle of the nightie; he looked lovely…the turquoise nightie really brings out his eyes and wow…he never knew he got such a slender body and such tiny waist…being a girl isn't so0o00oo0 bad after all… the grin on Ron's face grew wider…he turned around to Hermione
"I looked lovely," Ron beamed and turned back to his mirror and Hermione could only smile at this…Ron's becoming more of a girl every second…
Ron found himself grinning and beaming and he couldn't help it…He looked beautiful but he couldn't help staring at the reflection over his shoulder…He thought he saw shadows looming past the windows…after a few minutes of considerations; Ron had decided that he might have imagined the shades…there was nothing out there just like there was nothing in his bath tub earlier.
Ron shook his head and shook himself out of his reveries… "Hermione?" he beamed and she looked at him and Ron continued "Is it possible if I could have-"
"Take it, it yours," Hermione smiled and Ron grinned "Really?" and Hermione nodded, "Yeah, it looks great on you."
"Oh," Ron found himself as red as a tomatoes, "Could I try on something else?" Ron asked
"Of course, there's so many clothes here I wanted you to try on, here," Hermione beamed as she handed him a red nightie.
"Thanks," Ron said as he head off to the bathroom and closed the door. He hastily pulled the turquoise nightie over his head and without warning someone or to be exact everyone went bursting through the bathroom door; it was Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape and Hagrid.
Ron quickly grab his nearby wet towel and wrapped it around his body before others could see anything…
"PROFESSORS!" Ron shrieked, shocked, as he clings tight to his towels feeling quite vulnerable and yet disrespected; that is the second times someone or everyone went crushing through the bathroom door without warning him…Harry's circumstance was acceptable... but the Professors? What were they thinking?
Suddenly all these slimy blobs thingys fall from the ceiling and landed next to Ron's feet; he yelped and backed away.
The slimy blobs suddenly ascended forming human figures as they rise, Ron claps his hands over his mouth…He recognized those red eyes…it was those things back in the boy's bathroom
The figures seemed to be in some sort black cloaks but their faces were hidden behind their masks; he couldn't see their faces…
"Mr. Weasley?" McGonagall gasped; her breath was caught at her throat at the sight of her student before her…she know Ron's a girl but she couldn't handle it when she saw him…the transformation was overwhelming…
"Ron, is that you?" Hagrid asked
"Ronald Weasley?" Snape was rooted to the spot…
"Ron, I need you to calm down as I explain everything," began professor Dumbledore but Ron had completely muted Dumbledore out…he haven't heard a single word he'd said.
The only thoughts that are surging in his mind right now are; "Why is everyone here? And why is he in the we his towel again?! He's in a TOWEL! And why is everyone staring at him! Snape's drooling!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
