Chapter 2 – Love changes

--

"Run again and you're dead, jerk!" came the voice of Charlotte as the door slid opened.

Genevieve handled a cup of tea towards her as the rest gazed up at her. "Had a hard time, Charlotte?"

"Thanks. Yeah, this idiot over here-"Charlotte accepted the cup from Genevieve before taking a seat and glared at Harry's rooster form. Nagini entered after her and laid itself down beside her, purring. "Never stays still!"

Charlotte heavily laid Harry onto her lap as he struggled from the invisible binding that she had cast on him. Even his break was glued together as Harry looked pleadingly at Hermione. Immediately, Hermione noticed something odd about the rooster when it gazed up at her: Green eyes. It has the same eyes that Harry had. Charlotte was sipping onto her tea silently, her eyes closed to enjoy the fragrant aroma before opening her red piercing eyes mischievously. Genevieve was clearly examining the book again as Luna had her magazine, 'The Quibber' upside down in her hands as always. Ginny was stroking Crookshanks, Hermione's ginger slightly squashed faced cat that was locking its yellowish eyes at Nagini, glaring and Hermione was still looking at the rooster. Did those green eyes just resembled Harry or was she imagining things? Immediately, she finally understood something. Those eyes that were now looking at her had the same look as Harry did. She bit her lower lip as Ron accepted a cauldron cake from Genevieve. Charlotte laid her half drank tea down as she gazed at Hermione cunningly.

"So, you finally found out the truth? Clever girl…"

Hermione felt as though she had just been scanned through those bloodshot eyes of hers. She grasped slightly when she heard a voice in her mind that no one else seemed to hear except her. It seemed as though it was coming from Charlotte herself. She stood at her ground as her courage grew. Charlotte smirked as she felt her courage in her as she took another sip, not blinking at all.

"Don't tell me that that's actually Harry?"

"What is? "

"That rooster! That one on your lap now!"

"Yeah, took you so long to realize that huh? "

'What did you do to him? Turn him back into his human self now!"

"Give me a good reason why… Hermione Granger…"

Hermione gasped aloud, totally forgotten about Harry, her eyes widen in surprise as her mouth was open slightly. How did Charlotte knew her full name when Hermione only introduced herself earlier only to Genevieve? "How did you know my full name? Who are you?"

This time, she said it aloud as everyone around her and stopped at whatever they were doing and gasped at her except Genevieve. Neville had fallen off his seat; Ron had choked onto his cauldron cake as Ginny stared at Hermione in bewilderment. Crookshanks' fur was on end as Luna laid her upturned magazine down slightly to look at Hermione closely. Genevieve chuckled as Charlotte smiled slyly. Harry felt relieved that someone had finally found out about him.

"What are you talking about, kiddo?" Charlotte questioned her as she took another sip.

"Hermione, what are you-?" Ginny began but Hermione frown her brows.

"Oh don't you dare say that you hadn't got a clue what I'm talking about here!"

Ron massaged his throat, looking at Hermione with a raised brow. "Hermione, what's wrong?"

"That rooster over there" Hermione pointed at Harry's form at Charlotte's lap. "Is Harr-"

"Now, what have we here?" came Draco Malfoy's voice when the door slid open just yet again.

Three students appeared as everyone glared at the unpleasant faces of Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. Three Slytherins of the Gryffindors least favourite students. Charlotte and Genevieve gazed up at the new comers and sniggered. Harry struggled furiously when he saw them as Draco spotted the two Slytherin girls and a rooster at a corner away from the Gryffindors. He sneered as he lowered his gaze at the rooster.

"Is that yours?"

Charlotte shook her head, smiling broadly. "No. I found it actually."

"Brilliant. Mind if I can borrow it for a bit of, er, practice?"

"Sure. Go ahead; you can have it if you like as it's not mine." Charlotte smirked cunningly as she handled the rooster, which was Harry to Draco's outstretched hand.

Draco took it and felt it struggling to peck his hand. "It seems pretty strange. Anyway, why are the two ladies from Slytherins like yourselves doing here with a bunch of Gryffindorks in here?"

"Give it here, Malfoy!" Ron snapped, his wand in his hand as Hermione had hers.

"Oh, Weasel and Mudblood again…" Draco said quietly as he folded his arms, the rooster was stuck out at a corner of his arm. "What are you two going to do if I don't?"

"We decided to have a bit of fun here actually" Genevieve said, sniggering again as Charlotte smirked.

"Gene's right. It seems that these babies here need to be taught how to have fun. What's your name, charming?"

Draco's face grew pink slightly as he turned to look at Charlotte, winking. "You've such sweet tongue, my lady. The name's Draco, Draco Malfoy, a Seventh year Slytherin, a prefect and a Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Ginny pretended to vomit as Neville looked disgusted. Ron and Hermione gasped furiously as Luna looked bored at them. Harry was still struggling in Draco's grip. Draco was certainly not bothering about their existence as his cold grey eyes were totally onto Charlotte herself. Genevieve giggled harder as she noticed his unusual behaviour. Charlotte smiled as she laid her cup aside and stood up. Crabbe and Goyle were merely chuckling but stopped and drop their stupid smiles as they turned their ugly gaze at the rest of the Gryffindors, rubbing their knuckles.

"Follow me, Draco. A private word if you please?" Charlotte spoke quietly as she took his arm gently and lead him out of the cabin with Harry along.

Once the two had disappeared, Crabbe and Goyle followed shortly, leaving the rest behind. Hermione looked at Genevieve darkly; her wand tight in her grip but the latter was looking rather relaxed and unbothered by anything at all. Finally, everyone looked at Genevieve, the only Slytherin who was left here in the cabin with them.

"Who are you Slytherins?" Hermione said quietly.

Genevieve sipped her tea and looked at her at last as she laid her cup down. "We've already told you who we are"

"If you aren't going to admit the truth about that Rooster, I'm going to hex you."

"Do you dare to Granger?" Geneviene challenged, looking mischievous at her with her wand raised lazily.

"I will if you don't tell me about that Rooster!"

"Alright, if you want to know about that Rooster so badly, I'll just give you a hint but if you answered me wrongly, I'll curse you." Genevieve replied with a sneer as she continued to pour herself another cup of tea.

Hermione's eye widen at her answer. Ron looked totally confused. "What's your hint?"

Genevieve didn't answer her as she busied herself with her tea. It lasted for about fifteen minutes before she spoke. "It not only clucks but hisses. It's not an it but a mere being. It lives like us but the one who survives from a curse and it's only an opposite of me. "

"This complicates me a lot" Ron gulped as he struggled to find out what she meant.

Hermione was full of thought. She was in silence for a whole minute as Genevieve busied herself by transfiguring her tea cup to a raven in mischief. Ginny stared at Genevieve; not knowing exactly what her hint was as Neville scratched his head in confusion. Hermione repeat her words.

"It not only clucks but hisses… I have no idea what that is"

Ginny looked at Hermione, looking serious. "It's not an it but a mere being? What does she mean?"

"Ginny, the only thing I know that it fits all into the third hint about the curse bit but an opposite of me…" Hermione said before looking back at Genevieve. "Who's 'me' are you referring to?"

"Nice one, Granger… I'm referring to of course is me"

"You?"

"Yes, Weasley."

Hang on, do you mean the opposite of Slytherin?" Hermione began.

Geneviene smiled broadly. "Very good… I see that you do know what it means only about a quarter of the whole hint."

"It takes time to know what the answer is!" Hermione snapped as she racked her brains even further.

"Wait a minute! 'It's not an it but a mere being?' I think I know what that is –that Rooster is not a Rooster at all! It's a human!" Neville added but he was surprised for his own knowledge.

"Correct, Longbottom" Genevieve nodded as she changed her Raven back into her tea cup.

Hermione beamed at him with a smile. "Thanks Neville! Ok, so we've got two bits of it right. So now we've left are, 'It not only clucks but hisses and it lives like us but the one who survives from a curse'."

Ron's eyes widened by this "Hang on Hermione, doesn't this whole hint seem familiar to you?"

"Why do you say so, Ronald?" Hermione turned to face him with a raised brow.

"Hermione, Ron's does have a point you know and it seems to lead to someone whom we know." Ginny said quietly, frowning. "But I haven't got a clue who…. It can't be Fred or George…"

Hermione suddenly gasped aloud and screamed. Everyone was taken aback by her scream as Neville had fallen off his seat for the second time and Ron jumped back in surprised. Ginny was startled as she accidentically knocked the back of her head onto the wall of the cabin and Luna flung her magazine up above her into the air. Genevieve doesn't seem to be affect by her scream as she smiled when she finally knew that the latter had realized what the answer was.

"D-D-Do you mean to t-tell me that that Rooster is a-actually Harry!" Hermione said in a high pitch voice unlike her own.

"I don't get what you meant, Hermione" Ron looked confused at her. "How can that be Harry?"

"Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all. Harry probably must've gotten to the boy's bathroom or something." Ginny added, looking at her too.

Hermione closed her eyes, thinking that it's unbelievable before opening them again. "Ginny, if he had, how could he be gone for so long in there? Unless you suggested it that Harry had drowned himself in the toilet bowl?"

"You've got a point there, Hermione" Ron agreed as he looked at Genevieve who was now looking at them closely.

"Look, if you don't believe me, think about those hints again! It makes complete sense! Listen here! 'It not only clucks but hisses. ' Harry's a Parseltongue because he could talk to snakes! 'It's not an it but a mere being. ' That Rooster's Harry for he's actually a human being. 'It lives like us but the one who survives from a curse and it's only an opposite of me. ' Harry's just like us, staying in the muggle world with his uncle and aunt's place every summer and he's the only one who survives from Voldemort's curse. Last but not least, Harry's in Gryffindor, the opposite of Slytherin! It all fits!"

Genevieve grinned broadly. "Correct, Granger. I see that you managed to get it right. You're lucky not to be cursed by me today."

"So it's true then! You're the one who transfigured Harry to a Rooster?" Hermione gasped.

"Yeah, I was just trying out a spell from Charlotte's old book she had found in the attic during summer but don't worry for only Charlotte knows the counter curse. She'll only undo it on him only if she feels like it."

Ron gasped too. "Hang on; I remembered that you once mentioned that Harry knows that his only hope lies with Charlotte when there wasn't any point in running away from her."

"Clever one, Weasley."

"But why are the two of you doing this?" Ginny said, frowning.

"As I have said before, we're only trying to have fun even if Gred and Forge aren't around anymore." Genevieve continued with her tea and stroked Nagini's head.

"You sounded like they're already dead." Luna spoke suddenly after what had just happened earlier.

Genevieve chortled as she laid down her empty tea cup and began to refill it again. "Do I?"

--

"Where are you bringing me to, my lady?" Draco asked, his voice sounded sweet and seductive.

Charlotte smirked as she pulled him deeper down passed lots of cabins before she slid opened a door and looked inside. Before she could even take a step forward, her eyes spotted an embarrassing scene. Two students of her age of different gender were kissing and their bodies were in close contact too. A seventh year boy was on top of the girl, not noticing about their entrance as they continued onto doing so. Draco's eyes widen as his face flushed even more, his heart was pounding as he felt the urge to kiss Charlotte. Harry blushed, seeing the scene upside down as his troubles lay forgotten. Charlotte took a step back, her hand was still holding onto Draco as she slid the door shut. She pulled Draco further, looking for a compartment till she found an empty one and went in.

"Erm, would you mind if the two of you stroll around for a bit? I'll let dear handsome Draco here to call upon you hunks later, alright?" Charlotte sweet talked Crabbe and Goyle before giving them both a quick peck onto their cheeks.

Both of them grunted shyly, pink patches of embarrassment showed on their faces as they walked away, leaving Draco and Charlotte alone. She smiled again as she slid the door closed behind them. Harry watched unblinkingly at them, listening closely. Draco gazed at her dreamily, his grip onto Harry's legs loosen as Charlotte faced him and finally, winked at him. Draco blushed even further as he watched her taking a seat down beside him real close. He could even smell her body scent from her as he gulped down his nervousness. Charlotte gazed up at his eyes as she laid her hand onto his right wrist. Before he knew what was happening as he was too busy admiring her, Charlotte pushed his robe's sleeve away and the Dark Mark showed on his very skin. Her bloodshot eyes reflected them and Draco immediately stood up in surprised when he saw what she had done. Harry slipped out of his grasp as he tumbled onto the floor straight away just as he saw the mark. He gasped. Indeed as Harry found out the truth, Draco Malfoy was a Death Eater.

"Pretty nice to have that mark on your skin isn't it, Draco?" Charlotte smiled sweetly at him.

"H-H-How did you know that I have the Dark Mark?" Draco spluttered as he hastily pulled his sleeve down.

Charlotte grinned evilly as she held onto his left hand and pulled him closer towards her. "Don't you find me a bit familiar to someone you've met before?"

"Someone who's been trying to gain power for years? Can you think of anyone at all? "

"I-I don't…"

"Think! What do you think of my dear Dark Lord? Don't you find him that there's something similar with mine? "

Now that she mentioned it, Draco immediately gasped. "You! Your eyes!"

"That's right… Draco Malfoy… I'm his granddaughter, Charlotte Marvolo Riddle"

Charlotte sniggered. "Very clever Draco… anyway, did you see that Rooster over there?"

Harry gulped. He tried to escape but he was being lifted up into the air again, upside down once more by Draco. Draco looked pale as his grip felt cold and sweaty. Harry pecked again but it was no use as his capture brought him towards where Charlotte sat. Draco dumped Harry into her lap and sat down beside her, his eyes were wide and surprised. He definitely looked stunned. Harry tried clawing at her but still, it didn't work as she took a hold onto his legs and slipped her wand out. Was she going to curse him or was she going to torture him till he actually dies?

"Now, my dear Draco, if you must know, this Rooster is actually…"

Charlotte tapped her wand at Harry's head before she released him and letting him to drop onto the floor, hard. Slowly, his limps began to form and so was everything else. It looked sort of like a speed up film as the Rooster grew. Soon, it was being replaced by a student with messy jet black hair who was grasping heavily on the floor; all feathers were littered all over the place. Draco gasped and took a step back when he saw who he was.

"-a student by the name of, Harry Potter"

Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry's weak self; his eyes were full of hatred. "Potter…"

"W-W-Who are y-you?" Harry said breathlessly, trying to stand up but his legs felt weak that he needed to use the wall as a support to hold himself up. "What d-did you do t-to me e-e-earlier?"

"Me? It was Gene'. I apologized if we chose to do it on you, Potter." Charlotte made herself to look cute and innocent as she gazed down at him. "Oh and by the way, I'm Charlotte, Charlotte Marvolo Ridd- Malfoy I mean and I'm in Seventh year Slytherin."

Harry was immediately struck with a weird feeling as his heart pounded hard against his ribs. His emerald green eyes widen in confusion about his feelings as his lips went dry, his face flushing. Even Draco was blushing like mad now as he was staring non-stop at her. When she mentioned her name, Harry felt that he had heard that surname before but shook his head slightly as he gazed up into her eyes. It was still blood red but there was also a feeling of warmth towards him. Harry became confused. Wasn't Ginny the one that he loves? How could he feel this way towards Charlotte now and his love were now much stronger than with Ginny's? Draco looked at Harry as though he could read his mind and glared at him. Seeing the look on the two boys' faces as Charlotte knew about how strong their hatred was, she decided to come up with a plan.

"Hey boys, can you do me a favour? If your hatred towards each other stops, things might go differently and the future would change." She smirked as a hint was given.

Draco and Harry looked at her, surprised. Charlotte smiled again as she stood up, went towards Draco first and gave a deep kiss onto his lips. Harry felt the heat raised in him as Draco went into a dreamy daze; both hers and his eyes were closed for about five minutes and she even pulled his hand onto her back. Harry didn't know whether he should punch Draco or leave the cabin with them alone. He decided to leave when suddenly, a hand took hold onto his wrist just as Harry was about to walk away and turned him around. He was immediately faced to face with Charlotte herself. She was giving him a look as though begging him to stay. Her eyes looked beautiful when she gazed at him that way without looking away. Harry could see that Draco wasn't bothered by anything at all as he was left sitting there, his face was blushing and he was indeed dreaming. He was even smiling in a stupid way. Charlotte pulled Harry towards her with such strong force that he was being pulled towards her body as his body felt a contact with hers. His body temperature rose even further as his heart pounded even faster. Before he could even breathe, his lips made contact with hers and his eyes closed slowly, enjoying the kiss that he wished that it would last forever.

He felt his body melt and his mind were thinking about nothing but their kiss. It seemed that his kiss with hers was much longer than with Draco's –somewhat about ten minutes or more as he felt his hand being pulled up towards her back too but it was more towards the back of her skirt where her butt was. His back immediately hit onto the wall behind him but their lips remind sealed as they slowly slid to the floor below them. She slipped his glasses off and laid it aside. Charlotte preferred him without it as it made him looked even sexier. He didn't know what made him to do it but he was already on top of her as she gave him the urge to take over her. His eyes looked dreamy as he began to kiss her neck; his hands were slowly moving up her tights, feeling her smooth soft skin as he could feel her hand inside his robes. Charlotte gave a soft moan as warm sweat filled thickly upon their skin. They laid there kissing; their clothing loose and both their shirts unbutton. Harry's other free hand slid into her shirt, feeling her skin on her slim body as she gave another soft moan. Unbuttoning his pants and pulling down his underwear slightly by her, Harry slowly continued to kiss down past her neck and slowly onto her chest. His other hand which was on her upper thighs had pushed her legs up and apart, spreading them wide and even pulled her panties down slightly, his lower body had lowered in between her legs. Charlotte moaned weakly for the third time as she pushed Harry's face right up towards her chest, one side of her shirt came off her shoulder, revealing half her bra. His hand that was at her waist came up onto her bra, slowly removing them and soon, revealed her large breast and her nipples. Harry kissed her breast and then licked her nipples before sucking onto them. At that very moment, Charlotte felt hot all over as she pushed her lower body up into contact of his as Harry began licking all over her body. She even felt his juices flowing through her as she moaned continuously. She held Harry's head up towards her breast, moaned a few more times slightly louder as she felt his sweaty body muscles. Harry continued sucking onto them, a hand onto her other breast, squeezing them lightly and touching them as Charlotte pushed Harry's face up to hers and kissed him, his shirt was hung loosely off his shoulder as his pants was half off him.

For how long they have been at this, they didn't know and when the train gave a sudden jerk, Harry immediately shot up, his face was blushing so badly that he quickly tried to get to his feet, his hands tried to button his shirt as he tired to pulled his underwear up and zip up his pants. Charlotte got into a sitting position, licking her lips as she got into a sexy pose, her clothing was totally almost off her as she sat there, looking naughtily at him.

"Did you enjoy that, honey?" Charlotte said sweetly as she got up slowly, her bra was clinging onto one side as she slowly began to wear them back into place and button her shirt, taking her time.

"I-I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't be doing this." Harry said shyly as he tired to hide his face as he wore his glasses back on. Charlotte suddenly leant onto him, pushing him backwards as Harry's back hit onto the wall behind again, her hand touching in between his upper thighs near towards his privates, looking dreamily up at him, her breast was pressed against his sweaty muscular chest.

Draco was suddenly jerked back into reality as he looked at Harry and Charlotte, not noticing what had happened earlier but blushed madly. Once she noticed that Draco was back to earth, she pushed herself away from Harry and treated as though nothing had happened. Harry quickly wore back his black robe as his eyes spotted her panties on the floor beside him. He bent down to pick them up and handled it to her, blushing even redder. She took it and wore it as she faced the other way, smiling mischievously. Draco looked thunderstruck at this scene as he stared at Charlotte and then at Harry before back at her. Once she was done, Charlotte turned around to face them and stood in between the two. She took both their hands: Draco's right and Harry's left and held them before giving both of them a quick kiss (Harry was much longer than Draco's) and winked at them.

"We've reached Hogwarts and I supposed that the two of you would want to be with your friends, right?" Charlotte spoke when none of them did as she let go of their hands and walked out of the cabin. "I'll see you two later again…"

Once she was gone, Draco looked at Harry, looking slightly curious. "What did the two of you do earlier?"

Harry was taken aback by this as he blushed madder than ever and spluttered out. "W-What? I- She- We did nothing! Nothing at all but touched each other!"

"WHAT?"

Harry gasped and ran off before Draco could do anything. "Sorry –got to go!" Me and my big mouth…

Draco stood there, looking even more confused than ever as he walked out of the cabin, looking for a sign of Crabbe and Goyle, his eyes were dreamy again. Weird… but I had such a wonderful kiss from her…
