Chapter 2: Help Me!

               Hermione ran into the great hall, and made a be line for Harry. "Harry, come

with me, something is wrong with me". Harry Potter who had a crush on Hermione since

4th year followed her to the common room.  "I wanted to tell you and not Ron

because….." she blushed, "you know". Harry squirmed uncomfortable. He asked "So,

what's wrong?!" he asked protectively. "Well" she blushed, "I woke up this morning

and…um, and I look different". Harry stared at her quizzically "What do you mean

different? I don't see a change!" Hermione looked flabbergasted at him. "Not my face,

but my body! It's not mine! I woke up and LOOK my skin is paler" she pulled up her

sleeve and showed him her newly pale arm. Harry looked at it astonished;"Herm! You

should go to the infirmary, that's not normal" Hermione then started pacing. "It's not just

my skin pigment, my body is…..different too. I thinner, you can't see through the clothes

(she blushed) but I seemed to have lost a considerable amount of weight. Oh! And my

scars are disappearing!" Hermione looked at Harry for answers but he had none. They sat

there in silence for awhile until Harry spoke again "Possibly Dumbledore might have

some answers" he looked at her hopefully. "I guess he might, but maybe we can look in

the library first".

             Narcissa Malfoy stood inside Albus' office. "May I see her?" a simple question

to most but in her voice was pleading. "Cissa, you know you can't. Not yet at least, she

needs to discover this on her own. Let her come to us then we will decide from there."

She dared not say another word. Dumbledore's word was final.

                   Hermione and Harry walked through the corridor's contemplating when they

passed the Room of Requirement. "Harry! Look the door is shown! Let's go in, it might

have some answers."  They walked inside the room and it was empty all accept for a

hanging on one of the walls.  It was a family tree just like his. But below  Narcissa

Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy were Draco Malfoy and Aurora Malfoy. Hermione looked at

Harry, "What is this? In Sirius's home she was wasn't on this tree! What does this have

to do with me" she yelled. "Maybe we came into this room by mistake, maybe it was

meant for someone else" she assured herself. Harry stared wide eyes at her, not moving

but looking as if he had seen a ghost. "What is it Harry?" she said angrily. "Your hair"

was all he could say. She tuned an looked inside the mirror that had just appeared on the

wall next to her. In place of her brown bushy lay light white blond ringlets cascading

down her back.
