Hermione had reached her room and now was in for the struggle of her life.Getting those jeans off was hard work.When she finally did she breathed a sigh of relief.after digging through her drawers and closet she found what she was looking for and began pulling off her tank top and panties, another article of clothing not recommended for those with the male anotamy, so she could done the clothes she had dug out. A pair of blue plaid boxers she normally used for sleeping in, a baggy pair of black jeans, and a baggy shirt with a rancid logo on it. Next she found her three row pyramid belt and put it on.Only after she was fully dressed did she chance a look in the mirror. She couldn't help thinking she looked pretty damn good. Black hair, a nice build, and dark blue eyes. She was now roughly 5'8" as opposed to her regular 5'5".

"Nice work Professors." She said approvingly.

She moved quikly to her bathroom and got out some gel and spiked her hair.Remembering that she would be leaving tonight she decided to pack real quick and then go down stairs. First she went through her uniform and robes and discarded her skirts and the knee high socks. 'Ah! One of the perks of being a guy.No skirts!' she thought. Stuffing a few odds and ends into her trunk, she closed it and dragged it downstairs.She walked back into the living room and surveyed her potions professor and parents.

"Well, we should be off." Professor Snape said "I'll wait outside while you say your goodbyes." And with that he walked out the door.

"Hermione, we're really sorry we didn't tell you about the adoption sooner." Mrs. Granger told her daughter.

"It's alright, Mum.I mean I am kind of upset but I'll get over it." Hermione replied. "I love you both and um, I guess I'll see you next summer, well hopefully."

The Grangers both got up and hugged their daughter. "We'll still write you." Mr. Ganger said.

"All the best dear." Was Mrs. Grangers weak goodbye. "And we love you too."

"Always have, Always will." Mr. Ganger said

"I think I should go." Hermione stated and grabbed her trunk and walked out the door.

"There goes our baby, Matthew." Mrs. Granger said to her husband.

"She's not a baby anymore , Arlene." Was her husband's reply.

--------------------------------

Hermione stepped out onto the porch and stood next to her Professor. "Well?" She asked.

"I'm supposed to fill you in on the details but that can wait another 5 minutes." He said then set off down the street. Hermione ran after him. Not an easy feat considering she was also dragging her trunk along with her.She saw him turn down an alley and proceeded after him. She saw him standing off to the left side of the alley and moved to see what he was doing.After a few moments of rooting around in his pockets he finally found what he was looking for. He pulled out a blue disposable lighter.

He turbed to her "We'll be traveling half way by portkey. Albus got us a temporary one."

"Oh"

"We should be on our way in a few moments so if you would be so kind as to get ready."

Hermion moved toward him and put a finger on the lighter keeping on her trunk. After a few moments wait she felt a tug right behind her navel and in seconds was on a country roadside right next to a black Rolls Royce.

"Yours?" She asked.

Professor Snape shook his head "No, not my type of car. I'm more of a Pickup type of guy."

Hermione arched an eyebrow in disbelief.She also voiced this disbelief, the only reply she got was a shrug of the shoulders.

"So then who's is it?" She asked

"Mothers." He replied

"Ah, okay." She said then put her trunk in the back and climbed in the passengers seat in the front.He got in the drivers seat and they took off.

"So, um, details if you wouldn't mind."

"Alright, first off, we will explain your death as a car accident. And as you've already been told you will be living with my brother and sister-in- law.They just lost a son, and right now the only people who know are family, that would be me and my mother, as we are their only living relatives. He was your age and the potion I made for you was modified so that you would resemble him.Of course your natural appearance had some say in what you look like."

"I don't think I look anything like me." Hermione replied.

"Well no, not exactly but you don't look like Damien either."

"Damien?"

"My nephew."

"Oh."

"But your bone structure only allowed for slight changes. Of course I can change your eye and hair color but part of it was up to your body."

"But."

He held a hand up to stop her "This potion was only meant to change your anotamy. If I hadn't modified it to a certain degree, well enough to a certain degree that it didn't end up the polyjuice potion which wouldn't work for obvious reasons,"

"Because your nephew is dead, so his body won't be able to grow more hair and there wouldn't be enough now for a full year or however long I might have to keep this up."

"Exactly, now may I continue uniterupted?"

"Oh, um, yeah."

"If I hadn't modified it you would have just ended up looking like a male you.And we want to lead everyone as far away from you as possible.Now the only way you will be able to reverse the potion is with the reverse spell to the ones Albus preformed on you.Another brilliant idea on his part, and of course he is the only one who can reverse it."

"Why?"

"Because he is the one who cast it.See you can sat a boy for the rest of your life and nobody would know, except the obvious, that you are Hermione Granger, erm, Riddle. And anybody who wants to try the reversal spells can do it until they are blue in the face with no effect."

"Brilliant!" Hermione exclaimed in awe.

"Yes, well, You are going to be Damien now, and for as long as you need.My brother and his wife will take care of everything you need, clothes, you school supplies, etcetera."

"Okay so today forth I am Damien Snape."

"Damien Michael Snape."

"Okay, Damien Michael Snape."
