Chapter Nineteen
The next day, Hermione had a close watch put on Harry and everyone. No one could go anywhere without there being someone there to watch them. It was starting to get on Harry's nerves.
At the moment, Seamus Finnegan was watching them as he practiced some transfiguration homework. Seamus, being named a walking apocalypse, was bad with a wand. Harry figured that it hadn't changed even though he was older now.
Harry sat at the table with Seamus as he kept looking at a roll of parchment, then at the chair next to him. "What are you trying to do, Seamus?" Harry asked.
"Trying to turn this chair into a girl.... at least I'll get a date out of it if I succeed...." Seamus said with a smirk. "It's really weird... seeing you as head boy, then you are eleven again...."
"I was head boy?"
"Yes you were.... oh dear..." Seamus said as he stared at the place where the chair had been. "Is she supposed to have a lion tattoo?" There was a girl in front of him with the same pattern on her skin as the fabric of the chair. "Better find a way to change her back....."
"Am I any good?"
"Huh?"
"Am I any good as a prefect..." Harry said.
"Yes you are... you aren't as good as Hermione, though. That woman can keep the whole of Hogwarts all nice and neat if she so chose..." Seamus said. "Damn it!"
"What?" Harry stared at what was supposed to be a chair.
"I don't think the chair is supposed to still be winking at me...."
"I don't suppose so..." The chair was a chair with eyes, winking at Seamus coquettishly. Seamus started holding his wand tightly with both hands, growling in frustration. "Seamus... Seamus, I don't think you are supposed to do that.... Seamus..."
BLAM! The chair went up in a puff of smoke and flames. Seamus' hair was that of someone who had just tried to french kiss a light socket. His eyebrows were still intact, though.
"I don't think you were supposed to do that either, Seamus..." Harry said as he came up from under the table. "You probably ought to go see Madame Pomfrey about that..."
Seamus coughed and put out the small flame that was on a tuft of his hair with his fingers. "I think I will go do that... watch everyone and make sure nothing goes wrong... I'd hate to have Professor McGonagall on my ass about leaving you and everyone on my watch."
"Will do... just... be careful next time..." Harry said. Seamus stood up and walked out of the portrait hole.
Astra stood up and stretched. "Phew! I thought he'd never leave!"
Nev came out from behind the sofa that was next to the table Harry was sitting at. Astra clapped some applause. "Nice work, Nev!"
"That was tough! I thought for sure I was going to screw it up! It's really a difficult spell to work..." Nev said as she brushed her skirt off. Harry stared at them both incredulously.
"What are you talking about! Did you set Seamus on fire?!" Harry said.
"Not really. Actually, I was trying to cause a spell confusion.... very difficult to do... I'm really surprised that I could do it..." Nev said. She wiped the sweat off of her brow. "Seamus set himself on fire, though... that had nothing to do with me..."
"So what was the point of confusing his spell?" Ginny said from her chair. Her small frame was lost in the overstuffed chair. Her large innocent eyes stared curiously around at everyone. Her long red hair was put into pigtails.
"Well... we were tired of having him here...." Nev said as if this was the most logical thing in the world.
"Besides... I wanna know more about that hut and what happened there..." Astra said as she took off her slippers and put on a borrowed pair of black mary janes. "There's something about that place that I remember...."
"I remember too, but I don't want to go back there..." said Harry. "Hagrid was my friend, and a very good one at that.... I don't want to remember him dying...."
Astra stared at Harry for a long moment before letting out a sigh and taking off the mary janes. She slipped her slippers on and pulled her legs up to her chest. "Then, what can we do here while that Irish kid is away?"
"Sit here and be bored as usual?" said Nev. Astra gave her a look and Nev shrugged. "Just a suggestion...."
Vee came down the girls' staircase. She stared at Harry with those black eyes of hers boring into him. He felt like she was looking straight into his soul. It was slightly disturbing.
"Hey, Leprechaun... What's up? Find any new things to spook us with?" Astra drawled.
"Why do you enjoy calling me that everyday?" Vee said in a huff as she hit the bottom of the stairs.
"Beside the factoid that yer shorter than me?" Astra said. Vee didn't look pleased. Vee rolled her black eyes and walked up the staircase. "Another point to me!" Astra said.
"What were you talking about 'spooking' us..." Harry said.
"Vee says that she sees me and Nev's futures.... that and she says she sees scary things everyday.... I don't know whether or not to believe her, really..." Astra said with a shrug.
"Your mom said something about her looks though...." Nev corrected.
"Huh? Oh..." Astra put a pillow over her face for a minute before talking. "She said that her black hair and black eyes are the mark of the prophetess or something like that...."
"The prophetess?" Ginny inquired.
"It's a legend in my mom's family. It's a rarity that it happens, but it said to coincide with a major event that a prophet is needed. Never in the family has there been a boy born with black hair and black eyes...."
Harry stared up at the girls staircase. He wondered what Vee might see that she would say. Did she know how to get everyone back to normal, or did she know other things. "Maybe she can help us figure out how to get back to being whatever age we are supposed to be...." Harry said.
"Her? I severely doubt she would tell us... she keeps mostly to herself...." Astra said as she pulled her legs over the arm of the chair and leaned back. "Hey! I got it! How about spin the bottle!"
"Astra.... do you think? Who's gonna play?!" Nev growled.
Harry was confused by the sudden change of subject. "What?"
"We could all play... minus my dopey sister, of course..." Astra said with a grin.
"Even that Draco kid?" Nev said with a grimace.
"Come on... it's better than sitting here doing nothing!" Astra said as she straightened up in the chair. "Besides! We could just have the rules be.... a peck on the cheek! That's good enough!"
Nev shook her head and sighed. Harry stared at them incredulously. "Would someone please tell me what's going on here?"
"No one could fill in that completely clueless brain enough for you to fully grasp anything, Potter..." came a cold, familiar drawl.
Draco was at the foot of the boys' staircase and grinning evilly at Harry. Draco walked over to Ginny and wrapped his arms around her shoulders possessively. He sneered at Harry as Ginny blushed to the roots of her hair. "Um... could you get off of me?" came Ginny's soft voice.
"You head her Malfoy.... she doesn't want you to do that...." Harry said as he stifled a growl.
"Aw... but I thought we were getting on so well...." Draco said. He smiled down at Ginny slyly.
"P-please.... um... this is rather uncomfortable..." Ginny said in the extremely soft voice of hers.
"Malformed... the girl don't like you... get off..." Astra said with a grimace.
A flash of light came out of no where. Harry opened his eyes and he saw Draco still holding Ginny, but he was a second year. His clothes had changed as well. They were his uniform. Harry saw that his own body had changed. He too was a second year.
"It looks like this is gonna end on it's own..." Harry heard Nev said.
Draco tightened his grip on Ginny. "Draco... I'm going to give you to the count of three... if you don't get off of Ginny now... I'm going to---"
"To do what, Potter? What is she to you?" Draco sneered at Harry.
Harry blushed. Ginny was redder now than she was before. She gazed hopefully up at Harry. "She's Ron's sister and if you want him to come in here and pulverize you, then by all means keep on..."
Draco narrowed his grey eyes at Harry. Then, he glanced at Astra. Ginny's hopeful expression went sad. Harry wondered briefly about that.
Another flash of light and Harry found that he had grown a little taller. He was a third year now. His clothes had changed accordingly. Harry glanced over at Nev and Astra. Nev was still shorter than Astra, but her hips had grown. Astra's chest had grown some, but she still had hardly any indentation for a waist.
Draco's expression went from one of contempt to that of the indecipherable expression he had when this started. He let go of Ginny and stood back. He crossed his arms in front of him and sulked.
Ginny stood up and Harry saw that she was taller now. She blushed as Harry looked at her. "Thank you, Harry..." she said to the floor.
Astra walked over to Harry and put an arm around his shoulders. "Hey... this is pretty cool, huh? We finally getting older now..."
Draco leaned against a wall and glared at Harry. Astra let go of Harry and walked back to Nev and they started hopping up and down in glee. Vee came down the stairs. "What on Earth is going on?!"
Vee looked that same age as Harry. She was still incredibly thin and small compared to her sister, who was very tall and rather strong looking. Nev's hips and shoulders became a little rounder.
There was another flash of light and Harry felt himself grow a little taller. Memories of his fourth year came into his head. He was the second champion of Hogwarts for the triwizard tournament. He opened his eyes and saw Draco still in his secluded corner, sulking.
"This is getting weird... Leon is dead...." Astra said. "Our friend Leon is dead..." she said to Nev.
"I see it as well..." Nev said.
Suddenly, Astra went sort of stiff. Her hands were in front of her and her skirt was billowing some in an unfelt breeze. Her hair flowed around her and her blue grey eyes were blank. A green stone on her left ear glowed brilliantly.
Light surrounded everyone. Harry felt himself grow even more. His joints ached as his bones grew longer. The light blinded Harry.
Memories flew into his brain. He was a fourth year and he saw Cedric Diggory die. He saw Voldemort come out of the cauldron, alive and able to do magic.
He was a fifth year. He was a prefect. He just met Astra and Nevaeh. He met Donovan. He tried to battle Voldemort, but Hagrid died at the hands of Donovan. It was all a jumble.
He was a sixth year. He was going out with Ginny. He loved Ginny. Miss Snape was making things horrendous for Astra and Nevaeh. He was thrown back in time with Astra. He met his father and mother when they were still in Hogwarts.
He was now a seventh year. He was Head Boy and Hermione was Head Girl. Draco was in love with Astra. The Ranma potion turned Harry into a girl whenever he sneezed. The Raven's Eye melding with Astra's locket. People were dying.... Colin... Susan... Fred...
Then, Harry hit the floor. He opened his eyes and saw Ginny trembling next to him. He crawled over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Shhhh... it's over..." he whispered to her. He could hear her sobbing.
"Hagrid died.... You-Know-Who tortured me with the Cruciatus curse... I nearly lost you a half dozen times to things unknown to me...." she sobbed. She turned around and held onto Harry tightly as she cried into his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Harry... I'm sooo sorry...."
"It's okay... Shhhh..." Harry whispered to try to calm her.
"Astra? Astra?"
Harry heard Draco's voice moving. He glanced up and saw Draco lift Astra's upper body off of the floor. She was eighteen now. Draco cradled Astra and stroked a hand through her still very long hair.
Astra's eyes fluttered open and she gazed up at Draco, who looked rather worried. She smiled. He was worried about her. He had been jealous of Harry when she paid him attention. He truly had feelings for her, even though he had an odd way going about it.
"Hello...." she whispered. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine... I'm back to my gorgeous, manly self....." Draco smirked down at her. Then, he kissed her.
Harry smiled. He gazed down at Ginny who had stopped trembling and crying. She looked up at Harry and sniffled. Then, she smiled. "You were jealous when he kissed me... did you know that?"
Harry smirked at her and pinched her waist playfully. "I knew..." He said as she giggled.
The next day, Harry walked up to Ginny with his surprise. Ginny was talking to a couple of girls in her year and giggling. Harry coughed nervously. They turned and the girls started giggling again. Harry grimaced at the other two girls. They coughed and walked away.
"What's up, Harry?" Ginny beamed up at him.
"I couldn't give you your valentine on valentine's day, but I am giving it to you now..." He said.
She waited with a smile. Harry smiled back and took out his wand. "This is from my heart and a bit of a payback for one misery..." He bowed to her and winked. "Don't take offense..."
"Uh...." was all the Ginny said as she stared at Harry, not quite sure what he was about to do.
Harry coughed and took out the poem he had written. Then, he sang in the shrillest voice possible.
Her eyes are like freshly made fudge,
Her hair is able to not make me budge,
She is so divine, I know she is mine,
The girl of my heart's judge.
Ginny's face was bright red as her two friends started giggling louder than ever. Harry beamed down at Ginny, grinning like a mad man. "I love you, Ginny..." he said with a wink.
She shook her head and laughed. "You've got some nerve.... you know that?"
"That's why you love me, my lady.." Harry took a bow again. He came back up and she slapped him on his shoulder. He took her arm and they walked to the great hall for lunch.
