A/N:

Heyyy. Sorry for the wait guys. I know I said I was going to post this in February but I've been busy with school and work. I graduated high school June 08 and will graduate with my AA in December 09. SO I managed 60 college credit hours in a year and a half.

So to make up for it, I wrote a 2000+ word chapter and I am working on the next. I'm working on chapter 10 of Kill Me Tender so that should be posted in the next few days. I'll also have chapters 3&4 of Into Hell's Mouth We March posted within the next few days as well.

But I do like reviews.

Chapter Nine
Electrify Me

I awoke the next morning to loud noises coming from the common room. I sighed and pulled myself from the comforts of my bed and headed to the door, picking up my wand on the way. Flinging open the door silently, I stared flabbergasted at the sight before me.

The two Slytherins were lying on the couches and sipping on goblets of pumpkin juice. They had the Wizarding Wireless turned up to an unnecessary level and were playing Exploding Snap. Did they realize that it was 6 AM on a school day? What about the fact that there were other people in this dorm that might have been sleeping? Apparently they had yet to notice me because not once have they looked at me. As I walked forwards, my anger rose at their blatant disrespect for the people around them. But I also noticed another thing. The furniture in the common room seemed taller than yesterday. Strange. I stood next to the armrest of Blaise's couch and waited for them to notice me.

And waited…

Then impatience won and I coughed loudly to get their attention. They both visibly jumped as I did it before looking at me. Their eyes widened as they took in my appearance.

"Uh Granger, have you looked at yourself this morning?"
"No, I was preoccupied by you two bloody sods making noise at 6 AM."

I hadn't noticed that as Malfoy was talking to me, Blaise had moved to stand next to me. Wait a fucking minute here…

"When did you get taller?"
"Um, Hermione, I didn't get taller…"

I glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall and gasped. It looks like I was shoved into a dryer on the wrong cycle. My height at the beginning of the semester was 5'8". Now it looks like I was around 5'3 or 5'4. And it definitely looks like my body had become tinier, more elf-like. Man, can't I have a day of no changes. What else will go wrong today?

Now that I was wide awake at 6:15 AM, I decided to just get ready for classes. Leaving the boys on the couches, I headed back up to my dorm to get ready. When I got upstairs, I decided to check out how much my body had changed. As I had first noticed downstairs, my height had changed. But I also noticed that my hand and feet had gotten more delicate and soft. I noticed that, with my new eye color, my body seemed to fit. But my chocolate brown hair didn't. It was very strange. I sighed and wondered how many more changes I was going to go through before my birthday. After getting dressed, I decided to head to the Gryffindor common room to see who else was awake.

I walked back into the common room to see the two boys playing Exploding Snap again.

"Don't you two have anything better to do?"
"Yes Mia, we could always play pranks on the Golden Trio" Blaise smirked at me.
"Or we could always set fire to the library, Granger" Malfoy said.
"Malfoy! Do you always have to be such a bloody jackass?" I said as I headed to the school crest portrait and walked through to the Gryffindor common room.

There was no one in the main room so I relaxed on a red and gold couch and slowly drifted away.

"Mia!" was shouted in my ear, causing me to jump and fall off the couch and onto the floor. I laid there, hearing footsteps coming closer.

"You alright Mia?"
"Yeah Harry. Just trying to calm my heart."
"Need a hand?"

I looked up to see Harry holding a hand in front of my face. I put my hand in his and he pulled me up. I glared at Ron, who was the one who gave me a minor heart attack. He smiled sheepishly and waggled his fingers at me.

"Hate you."
"Love you too."

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 7 AM already. I slept for 45 minutes? Holy shit man. I picked my bag off the ground and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Ginny and I skipped down the hall while the boys laughed behind us. Just before the four of us arrived at the Hall, I heard Harry talking to Ron.

"Hey Ron, does Hermione seem kind of…smaller?"
"Yeah. I noticed that. I thought it was just me though."

Ginny and I waited for the boys to catch up before walking in. I could still feel everyone's eyes watching me as we headed to the Gryffindor table. I sat down with Harry on my right, Ron on my left, and Ginny across from me. I sighed because I knew they were protecting me from the other students.

"Hey Mia? You seem kind of smaller. Why?" Ginny asked me.
"A part of the glamour wore off overnight. Apparently the Pyxie portion of my genes decided that I was to be a petite Pyxie" I sighed.
"Don't worry Hermione. You look adorable."
"Thanks Gin. I just wish I knew what changes were still going to happen and when they will take place. It would make this whole transition a hell of a lot easier."

Harry and Ron both reached over to hug me at the same time, making me laugh, because sometimes you swear those two are twins. Through the rest of breakfast, those two joked around, making me constantly smile.

"Come on you two, let's go to class."

As we went through the morning classes of Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, the boys continued messing around. Professor Sprout glared at them when they were throwing balls of dirt at each other while Hagrid only smiled when Harry turned Ron's hair blue and Ron changed Harry's skin green. After I turned them back to normal, we headed to lunch and met up with Ginny. She and I talked about the first Hogsmeade weekend while the boys discussed Quidditch. But I soon noticed that the people around us were quiet and staring at something with wide eyes. I looked over to see Pansy walking, well, more like storming, towards me. I sighed and stood up, walking in her direction myself to meet her halfway. Reaching me, she put her hands up and shoved me backwards.

"You stupid MUDBLOOD! You should have stayed to your own house and your own kind!"
"What are you talking about Parkinson?"
"Yesterday, why did Draco and Blaise have to go with you?"
"Well, if you can wrap you head around this, maybe you can remember that I'm Head Girl and Malfoy's Head Boy. And if your feeble mind can comprehend, Malfoy chose Blaise to stay in his dorm, not you."
"UGH! You should have died along with your parents!"

When she said that, my vision instantly went red. I reached out and shoved her away from me, not realizing that I had shocked her with electricity. As I began talking, I continued to poke her and push her back.

"Parkinson. You don't know fucking shit about me. And don't even talk or think about my parents. You're not privileged enough for that. You had also better back the fuck away from me before you find out how mean I really can be."

I pushed her back once more before realizing that I had still been shocking her during the entire speech. I saw my reflection in a window behind her and was shocked at what I saw. My eyes were completely white with my hair blowing. I stumbled backwards a bit freaked out by how I looked. I mean, that's just not normal. As I continued to stare at my reflection, my eyes slowly shifted back to violet. I glanced around and noticed everyone was silent and staring at me. I smiled lamely and walked quickly out of the Great Hall.

Why was I the one that had to deal with all the powers? Why did Voldemort have to want me so bad? Why did I have to gain all the power instead of splitting it with Blaise? I sighed as I continued to the Ancient Runes classroom. Because of how early I had gotten to the classroom, I had free choice of every table. But because I didn't want the focus of everyone's attention to be solely on me, I decided to sit at a table in the second to last row. Harry and Ron wouldn't be in my class because they were taking Divination. I still can't believe those two were still taking that class. It was such a waste. I only knew one Gryffindor in this class, so that's who I would sit next to. I pulled Hogwarts: A History out of my bag to read while I waited for the class to begin.

"Hey Mia!"

I glanced up to see Seamus standing in front of me grinning. I had always liked his lopsided grin, it just made butterflies make a home in my stomach.

"Hey Seamus!"
"May I sit?" he asked, nodding his head at my bag that was sitting in the chair.
"Oh! Of course" I said moving my bag to the floor.

Seamus and I continued to chat as everyone else drifted into the classroom. When the professor came in, I finally noticed who sat behind me. Fuck man, can't I ever escape these two? I had Malfoy and Blaise sitting behind me. I sighed and I guess Seamus heard me because he leaned over and hugged me.

"What's wrong?" he whispered.
"I'm just tired of change. I feel like I could just go to sleep and not wake up for a week" I whispered back.

Seamus moved his stool closer and continued to hold me. I heard a faint growl and then suddenly felt a shock. This shock forced Seamus and I apart and off of our stools. Then the electricity stopped. We stared at each other from the floor. I looked up to see Blaise glaring at Seamus with his own indigo eyes a startling white. Still sitting on the floor, I kicked my foot out and hit Blaise. He jumped and his eyes faded back to his normal color. Seamus and I got up off the floor and back onto our stools. While the teacher began the class, I reached my band back and felt Blaise grip it with his own. We were in this together and there was no way to avoid the future.
