Chapter Three

After a month living with his Potions Professor, Harry had confided in him. They had a sort of 'friendship'.

Draco had been a regular guest ever since Harry started making those sweet cakes. And he helped Harry with his potions. And since than Potion wasn't so dull anymore.

Although Harry didn't hate him, he never call Draco by his name, first or last name. And it started to irk him.

After his one-week holiday was over, Harry did the potions again. And he got to choose which one he would like to brew.

Today, Harry chose to make potion that was useful. And it was a potion that could fix his eyesight. It was not a complicated one, but took concentration and accuracy.

It started well, and nothing proved the other way round until Harry decided that he would test the potion after lunch. He bottled the potion and put it on the table, unnoticed by him, beside another potion that was the same colour.

After lunch, Harry sat down on the chair close to a window. He put off his glasses and for the first time asked Draco to hand him the potion.

"Can you see me clearly, Harry?"

"No," Harry's eyes almost close when he tried very hard to accommodate his eyes.

"Don't feel something different, Harry?"

"No."

"Are you sure? There's nothing wrong with the potion."

Severus took the vial after Harry drank the potion. He smelt it and found what was wrong. Harry drank the wrong potion.

"Did you know what you just drink, Harry?" Severus asked him carefully.

"The one he gave me." Harry nodded his head at Draco.

"The one on the table."

"What?!" Severus turned to his table and spotted a bottle of potion.

"Er, there were two bottles before. I took the right one." Draco moved his foot uncomfortably.

"Something wrong?" Harry's voice was small and uneven. He put back his glasses and felt it a little inapt.

"You gave him the wrong potion, Draco. It's the maternal potion."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Nervous made Harry's voice high.

"It's for women to have children. And I just modified it, so it's stronger. But it has never been tested."

"What? Am I going to die?"

"Do you feel something different, Harry?"

"A little dizzy."

"Why don't you try to walk?"

Slowly Harry stood up and walked to Severus. He felt something funny but he couldn't figure it out.

"So?"

"I'm not sure, Severus."

"Please, is yours so sma… undeveloped that you can't even feel if there's something missing?" Draco changed his chosen word when he felt a pair of black cold eyes glaring at him.

"I think something is missing?"

Draco noticed Harry's pale face. He looked like a lost child. Standing beside him, Harry only reached his mid chest. "I think you shrunk, Harry. About two inches."

"What… but" 'It took years to even reach my height.'

"Ehm. Harry," Severus tried to be gentler to her, "It's because the potion was so strong. It turns you to a girl." He flinched waiting for a deafening scream.

Harry looked down at his flat chest. "No, I'm still a boy."

"That's because you're not growing, Harry."

"Can you change me back?"

"I'm not sure. I have to do some researches. It might wear off until several months or a year. I'm not sure yet."

"Oh." Harry only bowed his head. Her eyes were glaring at her flat chest.

Severus turned his glared at Draco. "You will take responsible for this, Draco."

"Why?"

"You gave him the 'potion', remember?"

"I didn't know it. The colour was exactly the same, how was I to know which one is what."

"I have to say that I'm very disappointed with you, Mr. Malfoy. You could smell it to know the difference." He shook his head. "I thought you're pretty good in Potions... I guess I gave you too much credit." He sighed dramatically.

"What should I do?" Draco said in defeat.

"You'll be his fiancé until I get the cure."

"What?"

"It's to protect her. Don't you think she's pretty? Somebody might want her." Harry jacked her head up at this.

Draco only snorted. 'Like any boy would. It will feel like sleeping with your own sister or brother.'

Severus scowl at him, "I'll talk to you parents about this. And you will help me doing the research, young man." Smirking he added, "I'll make sure you won't get away with this."

Harry kept silence during the exchange.

Harry left the room quietly. She was not sure if they noticed her disappearance but she could care less. She decided that she had the right to be alone.

She went to her room, and straight to the bathroom. She stripped her clothes and stood in front of the big full body mirror.

She noticed that her body was still the same. She only lost her penis. And like Draco said, she had shrunk about two inches.

Wearing her clothes, she couldn't stop wondering if losing penis meant that she was a girl now. Or that she would be another freak, half boy and half girl.

Harry spent the time laying restlessly on her bed. She stared blankly on the ceiling until it was time for dinner.

At dinner, Harry looked better despite of her pale face.

"Ehm, Harry. I've read some books. And I couldn't find the cure, yet."

Harry's face felt. She only played with her food.

"I promise I will make the remedy and I think it's saver if you don't sleep with boys. You'd lose any chance you might have if you got pregnant."

Harry only nodded her redden face.

"Are you hate me now?"

"What?" Severus almost choked on his meal.

"I… I'm a freak now." Harry's eyes questioned him. "Do you still let me stay?"

"What make you think I don't? And you are not a freak, Harry. You are just different. Difference doesn't make you a freak, it makes you special."

Harry eyeing him suspiciously, she didn't know what to say. "Am I really a girl?"

"Yes." Severus didn't know where the conversation would bring him, so he just playing along with her.

"Why my body looks like a boy's body rather than a girl's?"

"How much do you know about a girl's body, Harry?" Severus smiled at him. "You're growing, Harry. In no time, you will be a beautiful lady, without you notice it. And in the mean time, you have to eat. A lot."

Harry took a bite before he talked again. "About him…"

"Him?"

"Malfoy. He doesn't have to do that. I know he doesn't like it."

"He has to, Harry. He needs to learn about consequences. It will make him be a better man."

"But…"

"It's OK, Harry. I'll take care of everything. By the way, you have a free day tomorrow. I have an appointment with the Malfoys."
