A/N: Okay... pretty soon... I'll be posting up my new series. I was thinking about doing it AFTER I finish this series because it takes place after HP AK trilogy. I still have a few kinks to work out anyway.... like... what sex the antagonist be and the back ground behind them. I already have the protagonist.... it's a girl.
I just saw the preview for CoS! ACK! What happened! Did Daniel Radcliffe become kinda sexy over night! Good Lord.... It's not his face, though he's growin' up to be a very good looking guy, but his voice dropped to a nice growl... No wonder that one girl showed up outside the production building in nothing more than a towel holding up that sign that said "I love Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe!"
I also enjoyed watching Draco get thrown through the air..... but I can't wait to watch Prof. Lockheart (Y'know... it's really difficult to say that name when there's a town near where you live that bears the same name....) Get tossed around a bit!
My friend Celia says that the guy who played Tavington in the Patriot (who's playing Lady Lovely Locks Lucius Malfoy) looks like an older and sinister version of Legolas in the shot of him in the previews.
Chapter Five
Astra got up the next morning and went down to breakfast with Nevaeh. She saw Avalon walking with Kennedy in the hallway. Astra nudged Nevaeh and indicated the opportunity.
She and Nevaeh walked up behind them and pushed past them on either side of the pair. "Sorry, Vee!" Astra said with a smile. Avalon was caught by Kennedy around her waist.
Astra laughed as she saw the redness come to her sister's cheeks as she rushed herself off. "S-sorry, Kennedy....." Avalon could be heard stammering.
Harry was fingering the potion that Astra and Nevaeh had given him. He wondered what it was supposed to do. He saw Draco coming down the hallway with his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle. "What do you want us to do, Draco?"
"Why don't you do something useful and pester a few Hufflepuffs. I'm about to be busy in a few minutes." He said with a smirk.
"Not in this lifetime, Draco...." Harry said with a smile while he waited beside the doors to the Great Hall. He was thinking of his would-be guinea pig.
Astra walked around the corner and saw Draco. She blushed and brought her collar up higher. Draco noticed her and smirked that evil grin of his. He was seduction in human form, in Astra's opinion. "Yer a bit too laid back, Draco... you could do with some reining in...." Astra said as she welcomed Draco's arms around her.
Draco kissed her on her lips gently. "And who could possibly have those reins, little star...?"
Astra started walking toward the Great Hall when she spotted Harry. She waved at him. "Harry! What's up, guy?!"
Harry was startled out of the possibilities of the potion in his hand by Astra. He smiled at her and straightened up. "Not much.. Just wondering about your gift...."
"Hey! I did half the work!" Nevaeh pouted as she put her fists on her round hips. "Give credit where it's due!"
"Alright, Nev.... Thank you as well...." Hary smiled.
Nevaeh smiled back in a satisfied way and walked through the doorway. Harry went back to leaning against it. "I'm waiting for Ginny, actually." He said casually.
Just then, the door opened. Harry lost his grip on the bottle as he fell forward and ran into both Astra and Draco. He felt something splash on him and there was an odd feeling in his nose. Like he needed to sneeze.
"Ah, hell! This is just great!" Astra growled as she stood up. There was some liquid on her as well. "As if I needed this to happen to me on my first day back!"
"What the bloody hell happened!" Draco growled as he bushed his hair out of his face. "I feel strange...."
"So do I... I need to...t-to.. Ah... Ah...ACHOO!"
Draco sneezed along with Harry. Harry opened his eyes and saw Astra looking rather irritated. She was different somehow. Harry suddenly realized why. She seemed taller now, the same height in fact. "Astra? Did you get taller?"
"N-no... she didn't get taller... we both got shorter...." Draco stammered in shock. Harry glanced over at him and received quite a shock himself. In Draco's place was a pale girl with a pointed face and short silvery hair.
Astra suddenly sneezed loudly. Her entire head flew forward from the sneeze. "Damn it! I sneeze louder than a Klingon!" she growled. Except, when her head lifted and she was rubbing her nose, it wasn't Astra.
There was a very tall boy in front of him with shoulder length whitish hair and glasses. He was wearing Astra's uniform and it looked rather tight on him. "Astra? Is that you?" Harry stammered out. He noticed his voice had become higher.
"Who else, stupid...." she sniffled. "This is deffinantly the last thing I need...."
Harry was still confused. He looked down at his body and saw something that made him nearly faint. He was thinner and he had breasts. Women's breasts! "Great God..." he muttered.
"Okay... Astra? What the bloody hell was in that bottle that you and Nevaeh conjured up?" Harry said in a rush.
"You know, Harry... you don't look that bad as a girl...." Draco said in the same drawling voice, although it was higher.
"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry growled.
"I dubbed it the Ranma potion. It changes your sex whenever you sneeze or hiccup...." Astra said in an irritated voice. "I was hoping you could teach a few Slytherins a lesson..."
"So if I sneeze... I turn into a girl?" Draco drawled. "Grand...." He sounded slightly amused.
"What happens when we hiccup? Do we turn back to our original state?" Harry asked.
"Yeah..."
Harry had a sinking feeling that would've done the Titanic justice. "How long do we stay like this? You know... going on with the constant changing?"
"Depends on when the stuff wears off...." Astra shrugged. "I don't get into specifics on time when it comes to my inventions."
"The biggest understatement of the year...." Draco said mildly. "Could I change into something different? I don't know when I'm going to hiccough, so I might as well get comfortable."
"Good idea... coming from you, Malfoy..." Harry said through gritted teeth.
"Harry... I think you can wear my uniform... I think I'm now the same size as you." she said. She still looked like a boy, Although, now, Harry could see her elfin ears.
They changed uniforms and went down to the Great Hall. "Nevaeh's gonna have a field day with this...." Astra grumbled.
They walked into the Great Hall and everyone turned to see the late comers. Harry had seen his reflection in the girls bathroom mirror. He still had his wayward short hair and his green eyes, but he was decidedly more feminine. He could even say that he looked rather cute.
Draco still had his short hair as well and his diamond earrings. He had looked rather pretty before, but now his resemblance was closer to that of Fluer Delacour having a bad hair day.
Astra reminded Harry of the younger version of her father, except for her ears and hair. She had tied her hair back in exasperation. She fit perfectly in Harry's uniform.
"I think it would be a good idea for you to sit over here with us, Draco..." Astra hissed. "It'll be safer for you...."
"Now who's taking the role of the knight in shining armor..." Draco smirked with a pink pair of feminine lips.
"What are you talking about... I've always had that role... I wouldn't trust you with it for all the tea in Japan!" Astra said in an irritated manner.
They sat down at the Gryffindor table and Ron nearly choked on his food. "Bloody hell!" he coughed.
"Harry? Is that you?" asked Hermione.
This was the part Harry was dreading. Ginny turned and the color drained from her face. "H-harry?"
"Wow! Who's the pretty elf boy?" asked Nevaeh. "You look like Legolas from Lord of the Rings...."
"Hush up, Nev... Harry accidentally got the potion on all three of us...." Astra growled. Her voice was very low now.
Draco started hanging off of Astra's arm in a way that resembled Pansy. "Oh my knight! My knight! Save me from such a horrible fate!" He said in a faint voice.
Astra blushed and growled down at Draco. "Let go of me, you pale faced idiot!"
Harry had fun watching Astra try to pry Draco from her body. Draco seemed to cling onto her in every way possible. Like a leech.
"I give up... go ahead...." She finally said in defeat. She sighed heavily and resigned to having Draco playing the loving girlfriend. She reminded Harry of Ron when Hermione got emotional.
Professor McGonagall showed up behind Draco and Astra. "What seems to be going on here?"
Professor Snape was there as well with an evil grin on his face. "It looks like something back fired.... didn't it, Mr.... or should I say... MISS Potter..."
Harry wanted to deck him. He wanted to see Snape on the floor in a bloody mess, but he restrained himself. Sirius and Professor Lupin showed up with amused smiled on their faces.
"Now this is truely interesting.... who made this potion?" Professor Lupin asked with a smile.
Astra raised her hand in a defeated manner. "Go ahead... it can't be any worse than being treated like a play thing by numb nuts here...." Astra said glumly.
"I don't exactly have those regions anymore... although you seem to..." Draco said with an evil smile. Astra gulped and blushed.
"Don't so that! I don't have control of this body yet!" Astra protested.
"I think that this potion was going to be used on my house.... thirty points from Gryffindor, I should think..." Professor Snape said with a sneer.
Sirius looked as though he were going to bludgeon Snape with a blunt object. Professor Lupin gave a smile and helped Harry out of his seat. "I think this should be investigated... maybe we can--"
"Come up with an antidote? I doubt it... it wasn't meant to have one..." Astra said still obviously trying to avoid Draco's gaze.
"Still... there has to be something that can be done..." Sirius said.
"Unfortunately.... I agree with Mr. Knight here.... He's one of my best students... unfortunately...." Professor Snape said in a soft voice.
"Is there a problem--Ah! Mr. Potter... Mr. Malfoy... Miss Knight... How are you..." Professor Dumbledore said with a smile. Harry could've buried his head somewhere now.
"I see... well... You don't look like it has harmed any of you, so you don't need to see Madame Pomfrey...." Professor Dumbledore said calmly. "I suggest that you keep together so that you can dress appropriately if anything occurs."
"Like my turning back into a man...." Harry said glumly. Astra's depression was traveling onto him.
"Or being able to move without this git being an ass about it..." Astra said. The irritation was back again. "You do realize that he's only doing this because he knows he can get away with it."
"Well... here are your class schedules.." Professor McGonagall said with a sigh. She handed Harry and Astra their class schedules. Snape handed Draco his schedule as well.
The first class was Divination. Harry kept watching Professor Trelawny readjust her glasses and rub her temples in a bewildered fashion. It was somewhat amusing if Harry wasn't being stared at by a Ravenclaw boy.
The Ravenclaw boy scooted over to Harry and smiled impishly. "Hey... you look very nice. I don't think I've ever seen you before...."
Harry tried to ignore him, but the boy just leaned in closer. "I like your eyes... they're like emeralds..."
There was suddenly a pair of arms that wrapped around Harry's shoulders from behind him. He looked up and saw Astra looking very annoyed. Her shoulder length hair was loose from it's ponytail and brushed Harry's face. "She's with me..." Astra said in a low growl.
The color drained from the Ravenclaw's face and he backed off. Astra shook her head and let go of Harry. He didn't mind her holding him. It was rather comforting and felt really nice.... Harry slapped himself hard. The female hormones were starting to affect him.
Astra leaned back and sighed. "You know... I don't think I mind this a whole lot... It's kinda fun..." She said in her usually cheerful manner.
After lunch, Harry went outside with his friends. They sat on the grass and watched the clouds pass overhead. Astra was sitting with her legs crossed. Draco had latched onto her again and seemed to be having the time of his life.
"I wonder if this says anything about his mental state..." Ron said mildly. Draco suddenly stared at Ron. Ron's face split in a wide grin. "I mean... if you make a better girl than a guy... doesn't that mean you could be gay?"
Ron was on the ground in a second. Astra had punched him so hard, that Ron was thrown a good few feet away. She looked like she could melt titanium with her steel like gaze. "I don't care what body he has... he is Draco.... and he has that same perverse sense of humor that he likes to practice..." She growled.
"In other words... I'm not gay, prat...." Draco said in way that reminded him of Pansy.
"Owie.... that bleedin' hurt!" Ron said as he rubbed his jaw painfully.
"You deserved it..." Astra said still glaring at him.
After that incident, Draco didn't seem to hang on Astra quite as much. In their next class, Transfiguration, the Slytherins were in the same class. Pansy seemed to do the hanging on Astra. "You look very pretty...." she said dreamily to Astra. Astra just grunted an answer and went back to work. Pansy did not seem put off.
Draco, however, looked like he could cause Pansy to explode any moment by glaring at her. "Go away, Parkinson... He's mine..." Suddenly, Draco pulled Astra's collar down and pointed to the now very visible hickey.
Astra blushed a brilliant pink and struggled to get away from Draco. "Get offa me!" Pansy just growled.
"I severely doubt that..." Pansy said stiffly. She narrowed her eyes at Draco maliciously.
Astra pulled her collar up higher and walked over to Harry's seat. Neville was sitting next to Harry, but that didn't matter. Astra was thoroughly embarrassed now.
"So that's what that is..." Harry whispered.
"Five points from Slytherin and Gryffindor... I need quiet in here...." Professor McGonagall said mildly.
"Leave me alone, Har... It was Draco's idea..." she said angrily. "I'm gonna kill him later..."
"I don't doubt it.."
I just saw the preview for CoS! ACK! What happened! Did Daniel Radcliffe become kinda sexy over night! Good Lord.... It's not his face, though he's growin' up to be a very good looking guy, but his voice dropped to a nice growl... No wonder that one girl showed up outside the production building in nothing more than a towel holding up that sign that said "I love Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe!"
