Hermione agreed to go along but only if they used Polyjuice Potion. They woke up at 7:00 that morning, had breakfast, got dressed and got their things ready to go, and then at almost 9:00, they drank the nasty potion and soon they took the appearance of four strangers.
Harry, he now looked taller, athletic build, tanned, shoulder length, dark blonde hair and light brown eyes. He was pretty handsome.
Hermione now was a size or two bigger than normal but by no means was fat, her hair was down to her mid-back, it was straight and black, and she now was Asian, she spent a big time looking at her eyes, who were almost black, she also had a tattoo on her right hipbone.
Ron now was as tall as his brothers Fred and George, and his skin was no longer pale, but black. His entire hair was in lots of tiny braids, his eyes were brown with something of green on them, which looked breathtaking. The real person was probably a runner, because his legs, they had lots of muscles and he had a six pack as well. He also had a piercing on his right ear.
And Bella, she was the only one who instead of being taller, shrank. She was about three inches shorter now, her cheeks were very pink, and her hair was above her shoulders and was red and very curly. She had freckles all over her face. Her eyes were the weirdest though, her right eye was blue and her left was green, but it looked amazing.
The four of them looked to be around their 20s, Harry looked the oldest and Bella the youngest, maybe her height helped at that as well. They looked at each other and took the others' hand and apparated.
They found themselves in the middle of a deserted, huge beach. The sand was beige. They looked around again and smiled at each other. They then let go of each other's hands and ran toward the sea, taking their clothes off in the way.
Ron, having the body of a runner, was the first reaching the shore, and in no time he was inside the clear water.. Hermione was the next, then Harry and finally Bella, having short legs wasn't helpful.
Two hours later, they got out of the water and laid down, by the shore. They were very exhausted, and the sun was at its highest point. They put the umbrella above them, and had lunch together.
They had sandwiches and French fries, and lots of water to not get dehydrated. When they were done they also had another sip of the potion, just in case.
Then they made two teams, Harry and Bella, and Ron and Hermione, and both teams made sand castles without magic. Ron and Hermione won, the castle was well made and it looked awesome. The other, well, it was pretty horrible and by the time they were done, it collapsed to the ground. Bella and Harry just rolled on the floor, well sand, laughing.
They swam a bit more then, doing everything they thought of. They really were having the time of their lives. It reminded them of what having fun and not having a care in the world felt like.
To some, specially Harry and Bella, they hadn't felt it in their entire lives. Ron and Hermione had had holiday trips with their families, but still this time was one of their best they had ever had.
Around 5:00, Bella went to sit by the umbrella, pretty exhausted. Ron followed her and sat by her side.
"Hey, why did you get out?"
"Well it seems like karma do exists." Bella said. "It looks like you won't get all sunburnt after this, but I will."
Ron looked at her shoulders and back, and they were pretty red. Ron knew that pain just too well.
"It really sucks being a redhead and this white!" Bella complaint. "I mean, I'm pale, almost like this, but have never gotten sunburnt, not this bad."
"Well now you know why I didn't want to come." Ron said smiling. "I actually like being this guy, I might steal his appearance."
"Yeah, you are more handsome this way."
"Hey!" Ron exclaimed.
"What?"
"You shouldn't said that." Ron said offended.
"Oh Ron." Bella said grabbing his hand. "I love you."
Bella looked down at herself and noticed her arm, now was free of that horrible tattoo. She had even forgotten about it. Now that she hadn't had to hide it, she felt extremely free and happy. It felt good to be wearing a bikini, instead of her long-sleeved shirts or sweaters she now wore all the time.
She smiled at Ron and pecked his cheek, he smiled back, showing two gold teeth, he was oblivious to the fact that he had them and was very confused when Bella started laughing at him. She then stopped laughing and rested her head on Ron's shoulder.
"I think it was a good idea we came."
"Yeah, we urgently needed it!" Ron agreed.
Twenty minutes or so later, they were joined by the blonde-haired Harry and the asian-looking Hermione. The four of them had a snack and laid down on the beach, and stared at the sky, looking at the sunset, which was extremely beautiful, there aren't words to describe it.
Before it was completely dark though, they packed their things again, and apparated back to The Noble House of Black, who now half belonged to Harry and the other half to Bella, who was half a Black.
The four of them put the things and the remaining food on a counter, and changed into their usual clothes.
"You had a good idea." Harry said to Bella. "The beach was a brilliant choice."
Harry then put his arm around her shoulders, they still didn't looked like themselves.
"Ouch!" Bella yelled.
"What?" Harry asked alarmed.
"My body!" Bella then lifted her shirt a bit to show him her back. Which was pretty red. "It's extremely sunburnt."
"Oops, sorry."
"Do you think I'll be like this when I turned back to being myself?"
"I don't know."
"Yes, you will." Hermione said. "It happened to your body, so when it changes back to how it really looks, it may not be red but it will definitely still burn!"
"Oh, fantastic!" Bella said sarcastically.
They had dinner one hour or so after they arrived at the house. The first and only one that had changed back, was Harry.
Almost before dinner was over, Hermione started changing back. Her straight hair became to shrink and get all bushy again, and got lighter too, and her eyes became oval again, and her iris became lighter again. In less than two minutes she was back to her own appearance.
