Cursed
The brown haired figure in lose black robes that was the uniform of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sprinted across the hall, gracefully avoiding collision with any other students. A few of these said students noticed that the robes was dripping wet and too big for the wearer who was diligently ignoring the shout of the perfects for running in the halls. Raising an eyebrow, Severus Snape wondered only briefly before following the Gryffindor, pushing the fact that he was late for his Astronomy class to the back of his mind.
The dripping brown haired one ducked into a room, slammed the door shut after making sure that the room was empty and leaned against the heavy door, heart hammering so hard Remus could swore it was about to burst.
"I hate this," Remus muttered, not for the first time in her cursed life.
One trip. Just one trip to a foreign country and he was cursed for his entire life. Remus honestly didn't know who to blame for his predicament, his parents, for taking him to an unknown part of China, or himself, for being too bloody adventurous, running out to play only to fall into one of the ponds known as Jyusenkyou. Or perhaps he could just screamed bloody murder at the Fates for turning him into a girl! Of all things, a girl!
Well, half girl. He only turned into a girl if he got wet with cold water and resume back his original gender with hot water. Which was actually worst if you think about it. He had to suffer through the secrecy (from everyone in school except Professor Dumbledore and Madam Promfrey), which was alright at first when he came to Hogwarts because then, at that time, he was... well, she was still... uhm... undeveloped... yet.
Whenever he got wet and transformed into female mode, she looked almost the same as male Remus, except that she was slightly shorter, paler and with larger eyes laden with thicker lashes. His father had once said, (after long accepting the fact that he now had not only a son but also a girl except only in a different concept) "Well, at least she'll be really beautiful when she grows up."
And boy, was Remus growing up.
His male aspect was having a growth spurt that was way too late for a fifteen year old boy, (he suspect that it was because of all the female hormones flowing in his body, thus his perfect complexion) and though he was still shorter than most of the boys his age he was taller than most girls which meant that he was now taller than his female aspect by many inches. And then, there was the fact that his female aspect had now grown. In a very different way.
This last year had been harder and harder for her to hide whenever she got wet, which seem almost evidently inevitable because he was like a magnet to cold water when he was male and hot water when she was female. Like what happened just barely a few minutes ago.
Screaming in her soaked head, Remus roughly pulled the hair tie fastening her wet long hair out when she really wanted to tear her hair out. Of all times Moaning Myrtle had to burst the whole pipe by the toilet, it just had to be the time he was passing through.
Moving into action, Remus quickly shed the soaked black robes and tie so that it wouldn't constrict her when she cast the drying charm, leaving on the damp vest that didn't help in concealing her filled figure if not make it more noticeable. The problem with being short and female, she thought briefly, pulling at her lose pants that was threatening to fall from her slim hips.
Throwing the soaked uniform on the table nearby, she took out her wand, willow, 12 and a half inches with fur from a werewolf, which was really weird but it wasn't her main concern right then. Her main concern was to get dry and to get to the infirmary without getting seen or noticed so that she could get hot water from Madam Pomfrey.
With a flick of her wand, she was about to cast the charm when the door banged open, causing her to drop her wand. She turned to see the people that she would the least want to see, another fifth year, Severus Snape and another Slytherin, a seventh year by the name of Malfoy (that was what Sirius usually called him and Remus hadn't really bothered to remember his first name) standing by the door.
"Well, well, what do we have here," the blond one drawled, assessing the soaked long haired girl, eyes wide and standing stock still in the middle of the class, looking as if they had caught her doing something she shouldn't have. A small smile started at the corner of his lips, he certainly wouldn't have minded if they really did.
[If you'd just strike me dead right now, I'd be so grateful] Remus prayed to the power-that-be, feeling so doomed she could swore as eloquently as one of her best friends.
"Are you a third year?" Severus asked, he was sure that it was Lupin that had came in here, not a girl. Though she did look kind of like him with the long mouse brown hair flowing over her back. "What are you doing here at a time like this?"
"Eh...? You...I.." the brown haired girl looked surprised and stuttered, then recovered quickly and said, in a calm and clear voice, as if saying that she had nothing to fear of them, "No, I'm not a third year. And what I'm doing here is none of your concern."
Snape narrowed his eyes at the girl's audacity but he couldn't help but feel a tad bit of respect for her. Most students male or female didn't dare speak to him or Lucius in the way that she did, much less telling them to sod off and mind their own business.
He let his eyes roam over her again, taking in the Gryffindor badge with a weird pang of disappointment, the voluptuous figure and ... pants? why was she wearing pants when the uniform for girls were skirts? And why did her clothes look a size larger than it should be? He opened his mouth but Lucius beat him to it.
"Why are you wearing clothes that are not yours?" Lucius said in the drawl that was his trademark. "Were you doing something you shouldn't?" he implicated, his smirk tilting. He expected the girl to turn red but she didn't. Instead, she rolled her eyes.
[Plea...se...] Remus thought to herself, [Sirius could do better than that. MUch than that.] But she better get out of there before they find out who she really was...
"Like I said, it really isn't your business to know," The girl snorted and then, after giving them a suspicious look, she bend over, giving both Slytherin a very nice view of her backside as she reached under the table to retrieve her wand.
When she straighten, she only cast another look at them before turning to expertly cast a spell on herself and her robes that was lying dripping on the table. Then she retrieved the now dry and clean oversized robes and sliding them on in one smooth movement before turning towards them.
"Now, could you please excuse me," gesturing to the door that they were blocking, " I need to go now before someone who has real authority comes and deduct marks from my house," she said dryly, casting green eyes that said that she was bored talking to them.
"No," Lucius leaned over her, eyes boring into hers. Emerald green eyes narrowed.
Severus was now really impressed. Most people would avoid looking at him in the eyes when talking to him in fear of being misunderstood as being rude when he was looking at them that way, much less glare back at him unblinkingly.
"Not unless you tell us your name," Lucius said smoothly.
The girl blinked, surprised by the request.
"My name...?" she parroted.
"Yes," the blonde smiled. Severus turned to look at the blonde Slytherin wondering briefly before turning back to the girl.
"My name... is...," she paused, then replied, "Re..n..na."
"Renna," Lucius tried, smiling thoughtfully, "And what year are you?" Lucius asked again.
"Look," she said crossly, for a moment Severus thought he saw panic in her eyes but her voice was calm, " I've already answered your question. Now could you please excuse me before I'm late for class."
"It depends," Lucius continued, looking a bit calculative.
"On what? How big your head is that you can get through from the door without getting stuck?" she said, deadpanned.
"Getting a bit rude, aren't we?"
"It depends," she retorted back, echoing the words that Lucius had spoken, "Only if I'm facing those that deserve it. Especially those that can't be gentlemen enough to let a girl pass through without getting questioned."
"Oh, well, I apologize then," Lucius said, moving a little to the side. Severus did the same, leaving a small gap between them. Small but wide enough for the slim girl to slip past through them. The two Slytherin watched as the girl ran across the hall, long brown hair (that Lucius would normally considered as boring and uninteresting) was swaying attractively across her small back.
"Interesting." Lucius muttered, licking his lips.
"Indeed." Severus replied thoughtfully.
Turning a corner, Remus leaned against the wall, breathing hard. She had been found! But at least they hadn't figured out who she really was. From the looks of it anyway. Rushing off to get away, she hadn't seen the look of interest of their faces only having mind on getting hot water to turn back before anyone else noticed her.
Tsuzuku?
*snicker* I love to torture my fave characters heh heh
Remus : *glares*
SirenM: ^^`
This is only a snippet of the idea that had been going on and on in my head for the past month (and annoying me like hell no less) but I'm not entirely sure if I should continue this and make it a series. The decision will have be laid on the readers. Please tell me what you think.
I'm not entirely sure if I were to pair Remus with any male, would it still be considered as Slash or half-slash? ^_^9
By the way, (disclaimer) Jyusenkyou is taken from Ranma1/2 so it's not mine. I only pushed Remus in. *snicker*
Please Read and Review. Onegaishimasu ^____^
