Hermione Redone Part Two
Again I put disclaimers for reasons people. And please do not steal Orlando. Or else I will be forced to kill you for good.
"So Harry what do you want to get changed into?" Hermione, or Orlando depending on how you looked at it asked.
"Um can I be changed into a Gryffindor please?" Quietly Harry asked the holder of the Stick of Alchemy.
"Oh wait I just remembered that Dumbeldor told me not to use it until I am changed back. It might cause for some disturbances or something," Hermione remembered what Dumbeldor had whispered to him as they both entered the Great Hall for dinner earlier that night.
"No kidding?" Ron puffed out, as he looked discouraged. Hermione curiously wondered what he was so upset about. After all he was not caught in a different state of being than he usually would have been. So what was he so upset about? Hermione was in a better disposition than he was and she was not a she anymore. Instead she was a he.
"Ron what are you so upset about?" Orlando blurted out. It was then when Hermione noticed that as a guy he was impulsive and acted on his feelings rather than before when she would have just reminded herself to think about the consequences of her words or actions before she said something. After all Hermione reminded herself of one of her principals. That principal was never do something you will regret doing later. Now her own principal was failing her. Instead it was working against her.
"Why did it have to change you into such a good looking guy? I mean you are an attractive girl so why can't you be an ugly guy? I mean is there no justice in this world of ours?" Ron broke down and began to cry. Hermione know knew that this was embarrassing for a guy to do. What Hermione noticed also was that even though she would one day change back into a girl never in her life would she lose these memories of being a guy. At least that is what it seemed for the moment's being.
"I do not know. Why don't you ask it that question. I know it seems stupid but I think it can hear what we say or whatever. It can not move or whatever on it's own but it can speak for itself," Hermione annoyed with the Stick of Alchemy sighed.
"So Stick of Alchemy why did you turn Hermione into an attractive guy?" Ron looked more put together now that he had stopped crying. Yet he still looked a bit embarrassed maybe it was the idea that he was talking to an ordinary stick. Well not exactly ordinary but still a stick none the less.
"Let's see what it says," Hermione took a look at the stick as words began to scribble themselves across the plain piece of rounded wood. Within minutes a message had been written for the three guys to read out loud.
"Well Mione what does it say?" Harry pushed towards the Stick of Alchemy as Ron and Hermione read the message to themselves. I changed her into an attractive guy because I saw her deepest yearnings to understand the male mind. So with that I wondered what would happen if she understood what it felt like to be a guy. And then I sent the power towards her and she was changed. I guess because she was an attractive girl she was turned into the male equal of herself. Does that explain everything?
"Yeah it kind of does explain something to me," Ron looked like he comprehended what the stick told him.
"So this is a very attractive male? I kind of got that vibe when I went into the Great Hall but I never thought that meant I was an attractive female. So is this what you guys view me as? The epitome of being a female? Am I really that attractive because if that is so I can not see it in myself. Actually I kind of got turned on by myself but really it was nothing like I was an epitome of being a beautiful girl." A confused Hermione looked bewildered at the idea of being such an attractive girl or person for that matter.
Later that night at Hogwarts in the Slytherine house Draco was still thinking of ways he could get Orlando to look like a complete idiot. But how could he get him to look like an idiot? He could see if he could make him look gay. Yup that was always a possibility to get the girls to stop liking him. After all how many girls wanted to date a guy who was gay? Oh hell they would still probably chase him around hoping to change what seemed like his sexuality. There must be something wrong with him that Draco could exploit and show the girls of Hogwarts. He was tired so he decided to let his mind rest for a while.
That morning girls in Gryffindor house where getting nervous about their looks. None of them wanted Orlando to see their morning hair, breathe their morning breath, or see their naked faces. The rush for the bathroom started early, almost at five thirty girls were getting in line to take showers, put on makeup, brush their teeth or simply brush their hair out. As Ginny put on her lipstick she heard Lavender and Parvatti talking amongst themselves quietly.
"So you ready to get that Orlando?" Parvatti giggled as she put on eyeliner.
"You think he will want you when he can have me?" Ginny stood up to the older girl. Oh God what had she been thinking? Was her passion and desire to be with Orlando the gorgeous fifth year so great that she was willing to take down both Lavender and Parvatti for his affections?
"YOU? Are you kidding us? Why would he want you when it is so obvious he wants us?" Lavender laughed at the idea of Orlando wanting a young fourth year when he could have besides Hermione the best looking girls in Gryffindor.
"From last night it seemed like he wanted me. Oh you didn't see him give me a kiss goodnight huh? You didn't know that he took me to the library to study with him did you? I guess not from that expression you have on your stunned face," Ginny walked away quickly from the girls. Running out of the bathroom she ran into no other than Orlando himself who was going down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"Hey Ginny how are you doing?" Orlando helped Ginny up from the floor. From the doorway Parvatti and Lavender saw the sight. Orlando was up! Quickly they ran out to greet the best looking guy at Hogwarts.
"Orlando where ARE you going?" Lavander quickly brushed her out as she spoke those words to Orlando.
"Yeah are you going to have breakfast now?" Parvatti blushed heavily as she looked into Orlando's deep brown eyes. She couldn't help but get drawn in by them. That was when she got the impression she had seen them some place before. But she had never seen Orlando anywhere before. Unless they had once accidentally collided in Hogsmead or Diagon Alley once in their lifetime, no they looked more familiar than that. It was as if she had seen them every day of her life. But that wasn't possible was it? Quickly Parvatti dismissed the idea that she had seen Orlando once before.
"Uh yeah. I want to have breakfast early so I can go to the library to study a bit," Orlando explained the situation to the girls. Ginny was in heaven this guy was perfect, he was nice, definitely handsome, he was generous, and he was apparently smart. He reminded her of a guy version of Hermione who was smart, kind, and beautiful to the guys of Hogwarts.
"So you like to study a lot right?" Ginny sighed a heavy sigh as she took Orlando's arm and began to talk to him about her studies.
"What the hell just happened here?" Lavender looked stunned at what had just happened. That was when Harry and Ron made their way down stairs. Each hoping to catch Orlando or Hermione before trouble erupted.
A disgusted Draco looked madly at the sight he saw Orlando the Great was talking nonstop to Ginny Weasly one of the prettiest fourth year girls in the school. Yup it was clear that Orlando thought that just because he was extremely good looking he could have any girl he wanted. Probably if Hermione was there he would swipe her up right away. There was no question about that.
"Oh hey Malfloy looking at his royal highness Orlando?" Crabbe came and sat down next to Draco at the same time Goyle came and grunted as he saw the sight of girls still wanting to get close to Orlando. Five girls were getting ready to "accidentally" drop and pick up their quills.
"He's getting on my nerves," Crabbe was about to crush his glass. But Draco beat him by crushing his own glass. Red blood came spouting out from his hand. A piece of the glass dug itself deeper into his hand. A Slytherin girl returned from her oggling of Orlando that was when she saw blood all over Draco's hand. Red puddles were underneath his hand as more blood dripped down his hand.
"God Draco you're bleeding!" Goyle said as a drop of Draco's blood dripped even more. And the shard of glass that was stuck was not coming out.
"You stupid! Get a teacher something we have to get his hand healed!" Crabbe shouted at Goyle. That was when Goyle ran to get Madame Pomphrey. Just as he got her Draco glared hideously at Orlando who continued to make Ginny laugh herself silly.
From across the hall Orlando or well Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table. Amazed he saw Draco's hand gone red. What had happened? Something clicked inside Hermione's head that told him somehow Draco had cut himself on something, but what? Curiously Hermione headed towards the table that Draco was at.
"What happened there it's Draco is it?" Hermione's now deep voice asked Draco. For a moment it seemed as if Draco was appalled at the idea that Orlando had taken the time to come over and notice what had happened. Why would he be amazed at the attention Orlando was giving him? It was then when it struck Hermione that as a good looking guy she pushed Draco out of the title for best looking guy. Well it wasn't her fault that the Stick of Alchemy had decide it be best that she was also an attractive guy. It wasn't her fault she was born pretty in the first place.
"Yeah and why do you care Kane? It's not like I am important around here," Just as Draco was about to leash out his anger on Orlando Madame Pomphrey came and took a look at Draco's hand. She gasped as she saw the sliver of glass still embedded in his light skin.
"Draco Malfloy you must come to the hospital wing at once!" Madame Pomphrey directed Draco off the hospital wing. It was hard for Harry and Ron who had just come down for breakfast to control themselves as they saw the look on Draco's face as he was hauled off. Coming back to Gryffindor table Hermione saw how Ron and Harry where laughing.
"Cut it out you two. Draco just cut his hand badly!" Instead of sounding like her usual scolding self Hermione sounded different. Again it was a no brainer. Of course she sounded different because she was different. She was a he now and it was just going to take a little more getting used to.
"Now that I think of it you saw us last night Hermione naked! Are you going to tell any of the girls once you get back that info?" Ron blushed as he thought about what Hermione would tell the girls once she turned back into a girl.
"Your secrets are safe with me. After all how would I tell them about all of you? That would make me seem like I am a slut. Because the only way for a girl to see a guy naked outside of what I just did is to do it. Meaning I would have to say I slept with all of you," Orlando sighed as he went off to sit down again.
"Me and you doing it?" Ron sounded half what pleased with the idea of Hermione and him getting action on.
"You sick minded teenager. Heck I am a guy now and I can control those thoughts," disgusted with Ron's ideas Orlando began to eat the breakfast found on his plate.
"Um Orlando," It was Cho Chang who took his attention off of his meal this time.
"Yeah Chang what is it?" Annoyed with her now Hermione was about to get up to leave the hall. Even if he hadn't finished his meal it was going to be better than Cho Chang flirt with him like that.
"Um are you doing anything tonight? Because I was wondering if you would like to do something tonight," Cho blushed harder than Hermione had ever seen her blush before. Now Hermione was really getting sick with Cho Chang. Annoyed with her Hermione got up and left Cho Chang just sitting there. Harry looked amazed at what just happened. Hermione had never had the guts to do something like that. That was when he also took Ginny's hand and led her away from the Great Hall.
"What just happened?" Ginny looked curiously at Hermione or well to her it was Orlando.
"That whore named Cho Chang just thought that she could get a piece of me so she could just throw me out like that. Well I do not think so," Hermione was fuming.
"Well you are good looking. Any girl would have to be crazy not to like you," Ginny blushed as she said that to the best looking guy she had ever seen in her life.
"Really?" Orlando looked at Ginny who was now red like her hair color.
"Really. Also you know that you could have your pick of any girl here. If she was here you could even have Hermione Rachel Granger.," Ginny looked sadly forward.
"Yeah if Hermione was here I sure would like to date her but I am glad I found you," That was when Orlando pressed his lips against Ginny's. Amazed with what just happened Hermione pulled back suddenly. Was she really turning into a sex crazed guy? No couldn't be, after all he also had the brain of a she in the body. Oh God when was Dumbeldor going to find a way to turn Orlando back into Hermione so these situations wouldn't come up anymore?
"So you think you can just move in on her like that good face?" It was Neville what the hell was he talking about? It was then when Orlando put two and two together. Neville had been crushing on Ginny ever since the Yule Ball last year. Oh God what was he going to do to Orlando? Was he going to hurt him?
"Neville stop it. I am sorry Orlando. When you just kissed me I got the feeling that I couldn't pledge my heart to you. That is because I now know that I am in love with Neville. I am truly sorry," Ginny said taking Neville's hand and brought him down the corridor. The couple really did look cute and good together. And Orlando had no regrets about letting Ginny go after that. Well he didn't until a voice started to tease him.
"So your girl just dumped you for Neville Longbottom? How terribly sad. The best looking guy looses his girl to the clumsiest guy at Hogwarts. Really is so sad," That voice belonged to Crabbe. Hermione guessed now that Draco was going to be out of business for some time that Crabbe had taken his place. That meant he was obliged to tease and torment anyone who threatened Draco or himself. Orlando's blood began to simmer at a warm temperature then. If Crabbe didn't watch it he was going to end up with his friend Draco in the hospital wing in no time.
"Crabbe is it? I must warn you not to anger me much more because if you do not watch it you could end up with your leader Draco soon," Hermione coolly said as he began to walk down the corridor for the next class. Unlike Hermione had thought at the beginning she was not reassigned to new classes. Instead Dumbeldor said he would say that Orlando was replacing Hermione in all the classes.
In terror Hermione realized that the first class of that day was potions. Oh God this was not going to be pretty. At least that was what he thought as he wandered to the potion master's classroom, located in the dungeons.
Draco was not pleased with the new guy. He had made him look like a complete fool in front of his entire house. Somehow he had to find a way not just to ruin Orlando's reputation in the school and get him expelled somehow. That was when he remembered the trick he had tried to pull on Potter and his friend Weasly the first year they where at Hogwarts. It required getting Orlando stemmed over something and then getting him caught out of bed in the after hours. Or worse he could have Orlando get caught using magic in between classes.
"Hey are you okay?" The voice seemed slightly familiar Draco opened his eyes. Madame Pomfrey insisted that he stay the day in the hospital wing just to make sure the bleeding actually did stop. The pair of eyes that greeted him were those of Orlando. What the hell was he doing here? Wasn't he a Gryffindor for crying out loud? Didn't that mean he was supposed to despise his house with all his heart? No it was then that Draco remembered that this guy was perfect he was compassionate even towards his enemy.
"Yeah I am fine Kane," Draco said upset with the perfection of the guy talking to him.
"Really? And what is with using last names? How about using first names they sound so much better," The visitor said sitting himself on the edge of Draco's bed.
"Oh never really thought about it I guess. I call all Gryffindor people by their last names. I call Harry Potter by the name Potter, I call his friend Ron Weasly by the name Weasly, and well the girl you have heard so much about Hermione Granger by her last name Granger too. It is just something I have never thought much about," Draco truthfully admitted to Orlando.
"How about you start breaking that habit then. My name is Orlando. So how's about calling me Orlando?" The good looking boy said beginning a new leaf with Draco.
"Okay I am Draco, Orlando," It was then Draco decided it was going to be easier for him to become friends with the new guy instead of fighting and getting him into trouble. After all if he got Orlando into trouble too many girls would never forgive him for getting Orlando expelled.
"What is your' favorite quiditch team?" Orlando asked even thought it was somewhat a no brainer for Hermione who knew Draco's favorite quiditch team already.
"Ireland. I have to say they totally smothered Bulgaria at the last World Cup," After that comment Draco and Hermione with the appearance of being Orlando talked all about quiditch.
"Wow never took you for being so cool about quiditch seemed as if you were somewhat of a pretty boy," Draco commented.
"Well look who's talking many girls apparently think that you are a pretty boy," Hermione said. At first she herself thought that Draco was going to be nothing more than just a rich boy with a bunch of money. Including being a rich boy he was just a handsome one too. Now looking at him Hermione knew that her first impression had been terribly wrong. Draco had proved himself more or less as being somewhat good in a couple of classes. While at the same time Hermione found that Draco was good on a broom. When he was on a broom he looked good, very good.
"You mean girls here talk like that about me? Well I know that I am not just a pretty boy but what about you?" With much pride he gave his over prideful smile. Hermione guessed it was this smile that attracted her to him. While Harry was sweet and kind he was not self assured like Draco was. Even in his first year Draco seemed to know what he was going to do when he was older. Also he took confidence in everything that he did. Both Harry and Draco were both smart that was clear from the beginning. But Harry did not seem always sure of actions. In his head there was always room for doubt. But for Draco everything he did was going to be done and well no other way was acceptable and would not happen. Also he knew his capabilities and used them to his advantage. This was what attracted her to him in the first place.
"I do not know what I have but what about Hermione a man would have to be blind not to like her. Even for a muggle hater like yourself you must find her attractive," Hermione hoped by this comment she could find out if she had a chance to be with him. That was when Draco's confidence dropped and he blushed furiously. This amused Orlando so much he began to giggle just like a teenaged girl would.
"What's so funny? Oh God I am blushing!" Draco pulled a mirror that was by his bed to his face and saw the red creeping into his face. The good- looking new comer had ruined his act. Even if he was going to be Draco's friend he was still in the same house as Hermione.
"Yes you are so do you like her or not?" Orlando still bugged him about Hermione. What was this guy's deal was he obsessed with Hermione even though he had never seen her? Oh hell Hermione's picture had been featured in the Daily Prophet and he probably saw her in it. And for God's sake if HE too had just even seen Hermione's picture he would obsess over her too Hermione was only the best looking girl he had laid eyes on. And Orlando had hit it on the nose when he said a man would have to be blind not to like her.
"Yeah as you said geez a man would have to be blind not to obsess over her like you are probably doing at this very moment," Draco blushing went down as he got the confession off his back. Even more so now he knew that an intelligent person could help him figure out what to do with these emotions.
"Um yeah I am thinking about her," Hermione blushed not even she could stop herself from having sexually pleasing images of her male half and her female half "getting it on".
"Well I am wondering now if you could help figure out what to do with these feelings I have for her. Should I make a move on her when she comes back? Or should I let her be and forget that I could possibly have a chance with her?"
"Don't put yourself down so much. You might have a chance with her. Make a move on her then see how she responds you might be surprised to see how she responds to you," Orlando offered him all the advice he could give him.
"What do I do though? How do I make a move with a girl like that? I mean she is the best girl in the world. She's pretty, smart, kind, and self- assured," Draco now was sharing his woes with Orlando. Why was he doing this to himself? Would this guy see him as a weakling? Or would he tell the rest of his friends about this public display of cowardice?
"Man pull yourself together. Have you not listened to me this whole time? I would love to date you!" Covering his mouth Hermione or Orlando gasped. What had just happened? Oh God Draco now knew. Confusion ran through Orlando's brain and he collapsed.
"Um Madame Pomphrey um Orlando's kind of passed out!" Draco now was kind of confused now. What did Orlando just mean? He said:
"I would love to date you!"
Did he mean that literally? Or what? Now Draco's head began to ache as he thought about the situation.
Back at the potions class Harry was sitting and taking notes on Snape's boring lesson. And still Orlando failed to make an appearance. Where was Hermione when you needed her or in the case at present hand him?
"So our now wonderful pretty boy has failed to show up for class just because he is better looking than all the other students?" Snape curled his lips into an unclear expression. Ron knew that Snape was just upset with Orlando because he was better looking than Draco and he was a Gyrffindor. Both could make Snape go crazy.
"I thought I saw him go to the hospital wing," Neville said.
"Did I ask you about Kane's location?" Snape seethed to Neville who now seemed embarrassed about what he knew. All the students looked around to see if Orlando had made an appearance yet. Pansy kept on looking at herself in a mirror she had brought with her to class. Ron began to crack up a little bit as he saw Pansy do this.
"Ron, Snape's kind of looking our way!" Harry gave Ron a nudge in the side. He hoped that this would calm Ron down. Because from what Harry could tell by reading Snape's face if Ron didn't quite down they would be heading for detention and house points taken away.
"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter will you two keep your mouths shut for once? If not I will be forced to give you detention and take points away. Does that sound fair?" Snape came very close to Harry. He breathed down Harry's neck viciously.
"Yes Professor," Ron said as he kept on trying to stifle his giggles that came from Pansy's constant primping for Orlando.
"Then we must start our potions today. Today we will learn how to craft a revealing potion. This potion if brewed the correct way will make the drinker reveal one secret to you. I ask the class to not ask any really personal questions just simple questions such as what is your favorite quidditch team or favorite color. But remember that if you brew this potion incorrectly it shall make the drinker tell three lies," Snape said. Opening their books the students looked a t what ingredients they would need. As Snape got out the ingredients the students began to collect their ingredients.
Ron and Harry began to measure the correct amounts of dark weed, newt's tail, snake saliva, unicorn hair, and rat tail. They followed the instructions that told them to stir the newt tail and snake saliva first separately from the bowl that had the dark weed and unicorn hair in it. They put the rat tail in the cauldron of water and goat's milk.
Just as they were about to put the newt tail and the snake saliva in they got a rude awakening from Snape who breathed some more down their necks. "Well Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley I secretly know the truth about Hermione's disappearance and the appearance of Mr. Kane. And mark my word I will tell Professor Dumbledor about what is going on. Then Miss. Granger will get kicked out of Hogwarts for her actions."
Snape's words didn't frighten Harry or Ron at all. In fact both of the boys just kept on smiling about what they secretly knew about what happened. Both knew that Hermione would not get kicked out for what happened. After all she didn't know about the Stick of Alchemy and it's powers. Only a few select individuals like Dumbledor knew about the Stick of Alchemy and it's magical powers.
"Hermione will not get kicked out of Hogwarts. She accidentally touched and used the Stick of Alchemy," Harry muttered under his breath.
"The Stick of Alchemy? She has the Stick of Alchemy?" At that point Snape began to hyperventilate uncontrollably. He seemed very surprised about what they had just told him.
"Yes Professor she has it." Harry told him. "How could a teenaged girl get the Stick of Alchemy? I mean the last person to harness that power was He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," Snape seemed to be in even bigger disillusionment.
When Snape revealed that Voldemort was the last owner of The Stick of Alchemy Ron and Harry exchanged glances. They both wondered the same thing: Did Voldemort leave a curse on the Stick for the next user?
--!----!----!----!---!
Oh what a tangled web I weave! I know that this part was fairly short too. I am hoping that the next chapter will be longer because Orlando or Hermione is going to wake up. What will Draco think when he finds out his love is a guy? Is the Stick of Alchemy really cursed? Is their a connection between Voldemort and Hermione? And what is Pansy priming for? All those questions and more answered in the next chapter of Hermione Redone! Please review! I love reviews.
Again I put disclaimers for reasons people. And please do not steal Orlando. Or else I will be forced to kill you for good.
"So Harry what do you want to get changed into?" Hermione, or Orlando depending on how you looked at it asked.
"Um can I be changed into a Gryffindor please?" Quietly Harry asked the holder of the Stick of Alchemy.
"Oh wait I just remembered that Dumbeldor told me not to use it until I am changed back. It might cause for some disturbances or something," Hermione remembered what Dumbeldor had whispered to him as they both entered the Great Hall for dinner earlier that night.
"No kidding?" Ron puffed out, as he looked discouraged. Hermione curiously wondered what he was so upset about. After all he was not caught in a different state of being than he usually would have been. So what was he so upset about? Hermione was in a better disposition than he was and she was not a she anymore. Instead she was a he.

After all Hermione reminded herself of one of her principals. That principal was never do something you will regret doing later. Now her own principal was failing her. Instead it was working against her.
"Why did it have to change you into such a good looking guy? I mean you are an attractive girl so why can't you be an ugly guy? I mean is there no justice in this world of ours?" Ron broke down and began to cry. Hermione know knew that this was embarrassing for a guy to do. What Hermione noticed also was that even though she would one day change back into a girl never in her life would she lose these memories of being a guy. At least that is what it seemed for the moment's being.
"I do not know. Why don't you ask it that question. I know it seems stupid but I think it can hear what we say or whatever. It can not move or whatever on it's own but it can speak for itself," Hermione annoyed with the Stick of Alchemy sighed.
"So Stick of Alchemy why did you turn Hermione into an attractive guy?" Ron looked more put together now that he had stopped crying. Yet he still looked a bit embarrassed maybe it was the idea that he was talking to an ordinary stick. Well not exactly ordinary but still a stick none the less.
"Let's see what it says," Hermione took a look at the stick as words began to scribble themselves across the plain piece of rounded wood. Within minutes a message had been written for the three guys to read out loud.
"Well Mione what does it say?" Harry pushed towards the Stick of Alchemy as Ron and Hermione read the message to themselves. I changed her into an attractive guy because I saw her deepest yearnings to understand the male mind. So with that I wondered what would happen if she understood what it felt like to be a guy. And then I sent the power towards her and she was changed. I guess because she was an attractive girl she was turned into the male equal of herself. Does that explain everything?
"Yeah it kind of does explain something to me," Ron looked like he comprehended what the stick told him.
"So this is a very attractive male? I kind of got that vibe when I went into the Great Hall but I never thought that meant I was an attractive female. So is this what you guys view me as? The epitome of being a female? Am I really that attractive because if that is so I can not see it in myself. Actually I kind of got turned on by myself but really it was nothing like I was an epitome of being a beautiful girl." A confused Hermione looked bewildered at the idea of being such an attractive girl or person for that matter.
Later that night at Hogwarts in the Slytherine house Draco was still thinking of ways he could get Orlando to look like a complete idiot. But how could he get him to look like an idiot? He could see if he could make him look gay. Yup that was always a possibility to get the girls to stop liking him. After all how many girls wanted to date a guy who was gay? Oh hell they would still probably chase him around hoping to change what seemed like his sexuality. There must be something wrong with him that Draco could exploit and show the girls of Hogwarts. He was tired so he decided to let his mind rest for a while.
That morning girls in Gryffindor house where getting nervous about their looks. None of them wanted Orlando to see their morning hair, breathe their morning breath, or see their naked faces.

"So you ready to get that Orlando?" Parvatti giggled as she put on eyeliner.
"You think he will want you when he can have me?" Ginny stood up to the older girl. Oh God what had she been thinking? Was her passion and desire to be with Orlando the gorgeous fifth year so great that she was willing to take down both Lavender and Parvatti for his affections?
"YOU? Are you kidding us? Why would he want you when it is so obvious he wants us?" Lavender laughed at the idea of Orlando wanting a young fourth year when he could have besides Hermione the best looking girls in Gryffindor.
"From last night it seemed like he wanted me. Oh you didn't see him give me a kiss goodnight huh? You didn't know that he took me to the library to study with him did you? I guess not from that expression you have on your stunned face," Ginny walked away quickly from the girls. Running out of the bathroom she ran into no other than Orlando himself who was going down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"Hey Ginny how are you doing?" Orlando helped Ginny up from the floor. From the doorway Parvatti and Lavender saw the sight. Orlando was up! Quickly they ran out to greet the best looking guy at Hogwarts.
"Orlando where ARE you going?" Lavander quickly brushed her out as she spoke those words to Orlando.
"Yeah are you going to have breakfast now?" Parvatti blushed heavily as she looked into Orlando's deep brown eyes. She couldn't help but get drawn in by them. That was when she got the impression she had seen them some place before. But she had never seen Orlando anywhere before. Unless they had once accidentally collided in Hogsmead or Diagon Alley once in their lifetime, no they looked more familiar than that. It was as if she had seen them every day of her life. But that wasn't possible was it? Quickly Parvatti dismissed the idea that she had seen Orlando once before.
"Uh yeah. I want to have breakfast early so I can go to the library to study a bit," Orlando explained the situation to the girls. Ginny was in heaven this guy was perfect, he was nice, definitely handsome, he was generous, and he was apparently smart. He reminded her of a guy version of Hermione who was smart, kind, and beautiful to the guys of Hogwarts.
"So you like to study a lot right?" Ginny sighed a heavy sigh as she took Orlando's arm and began to talk to him about her studies.
"What the hell just happened here?" Lavender looked stunned at what had just happened. That was when Harry and Ron made their way down stairs. Each hoping to catch Orlando or Hermione before trouble erupted.
A disgusted Draco looked madly at the sight he saw Orlando the Great was talking nonstop to Ginny Weasly one of the prettiest fourth year girls in the school. Yup it was clear that Orlando thought that just because he was extremely good looking he could have any girl he wanted. Probably if Hermione was there he would swipe her up right away. There was no question about that.
"Oh hey Malfloy looking at his royal highness Orlando?" Crabbe came and sat down next to Draco at the same time Goyle came and grunted as he saw the sight of girls still wanting to get close to Orlando. Five girls were getting ready to "accidentally" drop and pick up their quills.
"He's getting on my nerves," Crabbe was about to crush his glass. But Draco beat him by crushing his own glass. Red blood came spouting out from his hand. A piece of the glass dug itself deeper into his hand. A Slytherin girl returned from her oggling of Orlando that was when she saw blood all over Draco's hand. Red puddles were underneath his hand as more blood dripped down his hand.
"God Draco you're bleeding!" Goyle said as a drop of Draco's blood dripped even more. And the shard of glass that was stuck was not coming out.
"You stupid! Get a teacher something we have to get his hand healed!" Crabbe shouted at Goyle. That was when Goyle ran to get Madame Pomphrey. Just as he got her Draco glared hideously at Orlando who continued to make Ginny laugh herself silly.
From across the hall Orlando or well Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table. Amazed he saw Draco's hand gone red. What had happened? Something clicked inside Hermione's head that told him somehow Draco had cut himself on something, but what? Curiously Hermione headed towards the table that Draco was at.
"What happened there it's Draco is it?" Hermione's now deep voice asked Draco. For a moment it seemed as if Draco was appalled at the idea that Orlando had taken the time to come over and notice what had happened. Why would he be amazed at the attention Orlando was giving him? It was then when it struck Hermione that as a good looking guy she pushed Draco out of the title for best looking guy. Well it wasn't her fault that the Stick of Alchemy had decide it be best that she was also an attractive guy. It wasn't her fault she was born pretty in the first place.
"Yeah and why do you care Kane? It's not like I am important around here," Just as Draco was about to leash out his anger on Orlando Madame Pomphrey came and took a look at Draco's hand. She gasped as she saw the sliver of glass still embedded in his light skin.
"Draco Malfloy you must come to the hospital wing at once!" Madame Pomphrey directed Draco off the hospital wing. It was hard for Harry and Ron who had just come down for breakfast to control themselves as they saw the look on Draco's face as he was hauled off. Coming back to Gryffindor table Hermione saw how Ron and Harry where laughing.
"Cut it out you two. Draco just cut his hand badly!" Instead of sounding like her usual scolding self Hermione sounded different. Again it was a no brainer. Of course she sounded different because she was different. She was a he now and it was just going to take a little more getting used to.
"Now that I think of it you saw us last night Hermione naked! Are you going to tell any of the girls once you get back that info?" Ron blushed as he thought about what Hermione would tell the girls once she turned back into a girl.
"Your secrets are safe with me. After all how would I tell them about all of you? That would make me seem like I am a slut. Because the only way for a girl to see a guy naked outside of what I just did is to do it. Meaning I would have to say I slept with all of you," Orlando sighed as he went off to sit down again.
"Me and you doing it?" Ron sounded half what pleased with the idea of Hermione and him getting action on.
"You sick minded teenager. Heck I am a guy now and I can control those thoughts," disgusted with Ron's ideas Orlando began to eat the breakfast found on his plate.
"Um Orlando," It was Cho Chang who took his attention off of his meal this time.
"Yeah Chang what is it?" Annoyed with her now Hermione was about to get up to leave the hall. Even if he hadn't finished his meal it was going to be better than Cho Chang flirt with him like that.
"Um are you doing anything tonight? Because I was wondering if you would like to do something tonight," Cho blushed harder than Hermione had ever seen her blush before. Now Hermione was really getting sick with Cho Chang. Annoyed with her Hermione got up and left Cho Chang just sitting there. Harry looked amazed at what just happened. Hermione had never had the guts to do something like that. That was when he also took Ginny's hand and led her away from the Great Hall.
"What just happened?" Ginny looked curiously at Hermione or well to her it was Orlando.
"That whore named Cho Chang just thought that she could get a piece of me so she could just throw me out like that. Well I do not think so," Hermione was fuming.
"Well you are good looking. Any girl would have to be crazy not to like you," Ginny blushed as she said that to the best looking guy she had ever seen in her life.
"Really?" Orlando looked at Ginny who was now red like her hair color.
"Really. Also you know that you could have your pick of any girl here. If she was here you could even have Hermione Rachel Granger.," Ginny looked sadly forward.
"Yeah if Hermione was here I sure would like to date her but I am glad I found you," That was when Orlando pressed his lips against Ginny's. Amazed with what just happened Hermione pulled back suddenly. Was she really turning into a sex crazed guy? No couldn't be, after all he also had the brain of a she in the body. Oh God when was Dumbeldor going to find a way to turn Orlando back into Hermione so these situations wouldn't come up anymore?
"So you think you can just move in on her like that good face?" It was Neville what the hell was he talking about? It was then when Orlando put two and two together. Neville had been crushing on Ginny ever since the Yule Ball last year. Oh God what was he going to do to Orlando? Was he going to hurt him?
"Neville stop it. I am sorry Orlando. When you just kissed me I got the feeling that I couldn't pledge my heart to you. That is because I now know that I am in love with Neville. I am truly sorry," Ginny said taking Neville's hand and brought him down the corridor. The couple really did look cute and good together. And Orlando had no regrets about letting Ginny go after that. Well he didn't until a voice started to tease him.
"So your girl just dumped you for Neville Longbottom? How terribly sad. The best looking guy looses his girl to the clumsiest guy at Hogwarts. Really is so sad," That voice belonged to Crabbe. Hermione guessed now that Draco was going to be out of business for some time that Crabbe had taken his place. That meant he was obliged to tease and torment anyone who threatened Draco or himself. Orlando's blood began to simmer at a warm temperature then. If Crabbe didn't watch it he was going to end up with his friend Draco in the hospital wing in no time.
"Crabbe is it? I must warn you not to anger me much more because if you do not watch it you could end up with your leader Draco soon," Hermione coolly said as he began to walk down the corridor for the next class. Unlike Hermione had thought at the beginning she was not reassigned to new classes. Instead Dumbeldor said he would say that Orlando was replacing Hermione in all the classes.
In terror Hermione realized that the first class of that day was potions. Oh God this was not going to be pretty. At least that was what he thought as he wandered to the potion master's classroom, located in the dungeons.
Draco was not pleased with the new guy. He had made him look like a complete fool in front of his entire house. Somehow he had to find a way not just to ruin Orlando's reputation in the school and get him expelled somehow. That was when he remembered the trick he had tried to pull on Potter and his friend Weasly the first year they where at Hogwarts. It required getting Orlando stemmed over something and then getting him caught out of bed in the after hours. Or worse he could have Orlando get caught using magic in between classes.
"Hey are you okay?" The voice seemed slightly familiar Draco opened his eyes. Madame Pomfrey insisted that he stay the day in the hospital wing just to make sure the bleeding actually did stop. The pair of eyes that greeted him were those of Orlando. What the hell was he doing here? Wasn't he a Gryffindor for crying out loud? Didn't that mean he was supposed to despise his house with all his heart? No it was then that Draco remembered that this guy was perfect he was compassionate even towards his enemy.
"Yeah I am fine Kane," Draco said upset with the perfection of the guy talking to him.
"Really? And what is with using last names? How about using first names they sound so much better," The visitor said sitting himself on the edge of Draco's bed.
"Oh never really thought about it I guess. I call all Gryffindor people by their last names. I call Harry Potter by the name Potter, I call his friend Ron Weasly by the name Weasly, and well the girl you have heard so much about Hermione Granger by her last name Granger too. It is just something I have never thought much about," Draco truthfully admitted to Orlando.
"How about you start breaking that habit then. My name is Orlando. So how's about calling me Orlando?" The good looking boy said beginning a new leaf with Draco.
"Okay I am Draco, Orlando," It was then Draco decided it was going to be easier for him to become friends with the new guy instead of fighting and getting him into trouble. After all if he got Orlando into trouble too many girls would never forgive him for getting Orlando expelled.
"What is your' favorite quiditch team?" Orlando asked even thought it was somewhat a no brainer for Hermione who knew Draco's favorite quiditch team already.
"Ireland. I have to say they totally smothered Bulgaria at the last World Cup," After that comment Draco and Hermione with the appearance of being Orlando talked all about quiditch.
"Wow never took you for being so cool about quiditch seemed as if you were somewhat of a pretty boy," Draco commented.
"Well look who's talking many girls apparently think that you are a pretty boy," Hermione said. At first she herself thought that Draco was going to be nothing more than just a rich boy with a bunch of money. Including being a rich boy he was just a handsome one too. Now looking at him Hermione knew that her first impression had been terribly wrong. Draco had proved himself more or less as being somewhat good in a couple of classes. While at the same time Hermione found that Draco was good on a broom. When he was on a broom he looked good, very good.
"You mean girls here talk like that about me? Well I know that I am not just a pretty boy but what about you?" With much pride he gave his over prideful smile. Hermione guessed it was this smile that attracted her to him. While Harry was sweet and kind he was not self assured like Draco was. Even in his first year Draco seemed to know what he was going to do when he was older. Also he took confidence in everything that he did. Both Harry and Draco were both smart that was clear from the beginning. But Harry did not seem always sure of actions. In his head there was always room for doubt. But for Draco everything he did was going to be done and well no other way was acceptable and would not happen. Also he knew his capabilities and used them to his advantage. This was what attracted her to him in the first place.
"I do not know what I have but what about Hermione a man would have to be blind not to like her. Even for a muggle hater like yourself you must find her attractive," Hermione hoped by this comment she could find out if she had a chance to be with him. That was when Draco's confidence dropped and he blushed furiously. This amused Orlando so much he began to giggle just like a teenaged girl would.
"What's so funny? Oh God I am blushing!" Draco pulled a mirror that was by his bed to his face and saw the red creeping into his face. The good- looking new comer had ruined his act. Even if he was going to be Draco's friend he was still in the same house as Hermione.
"Yes you are so do you like her or not?" Orlando still bugged him about Hermione. What was this guy's deal was he obsessed with Hermione even though he had never seen her? Oh hell Hermione's picture had been featured in the Daily Prophet and he probably saw her in it. And for God's sake if HE too had just even seen Hermione's picture he would obsess over her too Hermione was only the best looking girl he had laid eyes on. And Orlando had hit it on the nose when he said a man would have to be blind not to like her.
"Yeah as you said geez a man would have to be blind not to obsess over her like you are probably doing at this very moment," Draco blushing went down as he got the confession off his back. Even more so now he knew that an intelligent person could help him figure out what to do with these emotions.
"Um yeah I am thinking about her," Hermione blushed not even she could stop herself from having sexually pleasing images of her male half and her female half "getting it on".
"Well I am wondering now if you could help figure out what to do with these feelings I have for her. Should I make a move on her when she comes back? Or should I let her be and forget that I could possibly have a chance with her?"
"Don't put yourself down so much. You might have a chance with her. Make a move on her then see how she responds you might be surprised to see how she responds to you," Orlando offered him all the advice he could give him.
"What do I do though? How do I make a move with a girl like that? I mean she is the best girl in the world. She's pretty, smart, kind, and self- assured," Draco now was sharing his woes with Orlando. Why was he doing this to himself? Would this guy see him as a weakling? Or would he tell the rest of his friends about this public display of cowardice?
"Man pull yourself together. Have you not listened to me this whole time? I would love to date you!" Covering his mouth Hermione or Orlando gasped. What had just happened? Oh God Draco now knew. Confusion ran through Orlando's brain and he collapsed.
"Um Madame Pomphrey um Orlando's kind of passed out!" Draco now was kind of confused now. What did Orlando just mean? He said:
"I would love to date you!"
Did he mean that literally? Or what? Now Draco's head began to ache as he thought about the situation.
Back at the potions class Harry was sitting and taking notes on Snape's boring lesson. And still Orlando failed to make an appearance. Where was Hermione when you needed her or in the case at present hand him?
"So our now wonderful pretty boy has failed to show up for class just because he is better looking than all the other students?" Snape curled his lips into an unclear expression. Ron knew that Snape was just upset with Orlando because he was better looking than Draco and he was a Gyrffindor. Both could make Snape go crazy.
"I thought I saw him go to the hospital wing," Neville said.
"Did I ask you about Kane's location?" Snape seethed to Neville who now seemed embarrassed about what he knew. All the students looked around to see if Orlando had made an appearance yet. Pansy kept on looking at herself in a mirror she had brought with her to class. Ron began to crack up a little bit as he saw Pansy do this.
"Ron, Snape's kind of looking our way!" Harry gave Ron a nudge in the side. He hoped that this would calm Ron down. Because from what Harry could tell by reading Snape's face if Ron didn't quite down they would be heading for detention and house points taken away.
"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter will you two keep your mouths shut for once? If not I will be forced to give you detention and take points away. Does that sound fair?" Snape came very close to Harry. He breathed down Harry's neck viciously.
"Yes Professor," Ron said as he kept on trying to stifle his giggles that came from Pansy's constant primping for Orlando.
"Then we must start our potions today. Today we will learn how to craft a revealing potion. This potion if brewed the correct way will make the drinker reveal one secret to you. I ask the class to not ask any really personal questions just simple questions such as what is your favorite quidditch team or favorite color. But remember that if you brew this potion incorrectly it shall make the drinker tell three lies," Snape said. Opening their books the students looked a t what ingredients they would need. As Snape got out the ingredients the students began to collect their ingredients.
Ron and Harry began to measure the correct amounts of dark weed, newt's tail, snake saliva, unicorn hair, and rat tail. They followed the instructions that told them to stir the newt tail and snake saliva first separately from the bowl that had the dark weed and unicorn hair in it. They put the rat tail in the cauldron of water and goat's milk.
Just as they were about to put the newt tail and the snake saliva in they got a rude awakening from Snape who breathed some more down their necks. "Well Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley I secretly know the truth about Hermione's disappearance and the appearance of Mr. Kane. And mark my word I will tell Professor Dumbledor about what is going on. Then Miss. Granger will get kicked out of Hogwarts for her actions."
Snape's words didn't frighten Harry or Ron at all. In fact both of the boys just kept on smiling about what they secretly knew about what happened. Both knew that Hermione would not get kicked out for what happened. After all she didn't know about the Stick of Alchemy and it's powers. Only a few select individuals like Dumbledor knew about the Stick of Alchemy and it's magical powers.
"Hermione will not get kicked out of Hogwarts. She accidentally touched and used the Stick of Alchemy," Harry muttered under his breath.
"The Stick of Alchemy? She has the Stick of Alchemy?" At that point Snape began to hyperventilate uncontrollably. He seemed very surprised about what they had just told him.
"Yes Professor she has it." Harry told him. "How could a teenaged girl get the Stick of Alchemy? I mean the last person to harness that power was He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," Snape seemed to be in even bigger disillusionment.
When Snape revealed that Voldemort was the last owner of The Stick of Alchemy Ron and Harry exchanged glances. They both wondered the same thing: Did Voldemort leave a curse on the Stick for the next user?
--!----!----!----!---!
Oh what a tangled web I weave! I know that this part was fairly short too. I am hoping that the next chapter will be longer because Orlando or Hermione is going to wake up. What will Draco think when he finds out his love is a guy? Is the Stick of Alchemy really cursed? Is their a connection between Voldemort and Hermione? And what is Pansy priming for? All those questions and more answered in the next chapter of Hermione Redone! Please review! I love reviews.
