I always forget to make a Disclaimer! 'Bangs head on keyboard' Alright then, Harry Potter and the rest of the characters are not mine. They belong to J.K. Rowling. I only made up Ralphus McDowell so far... I'm just a fan that likes to maim and torture characters so don't sue me. I'm poor!

Chapter 3

It's Blood!

The week passed with Harry Potter as Larissa McGonagall. Adapting to sleeping in the girls' dormitory was hard. Whenever Larissa saw Lavender and Parvati changing clothes casually or walking through the room in only bra and panties, or just wrapped in a towel, she always turned around, but the girls started asking questions as to why she was so 'shy' and thus, had to just get used to those things. One thing was certain, even if Larissa knew very well that she was still Harry Potter in mind and soul, her body did not react as it would have if she had been a guy still. Hermione seemed to have a hard time changing in front of Larissa, knowing very well that it was Harry, but also got used to it.

Saturday came and Hermione and Larissa quickly arrived outside to meet with Tonks. Tonks squealed when she saw Harry as Larissa. The new girl felt embarrassed, but tried to smile anyway. "Wotcher! When Dumbledore told me about this I didn't believe him! Well, you'll definitely need new clothes! Come on now! You both can Apparate, right?" Both girls nodded. "Then we'll just get off of Hogwarts grounds and Apparate to London!"

The three females Apparated in a secluded area, but soon merged themselves within the city. They decided to go to a mall to do the shopping and soon were in the underwear area. Larissa was burning crimson as Hermione and Tonks kept showing different kinds of knickers. There were many kinds and Larissa thought she was going to faint as Hermione kept showing her hi-cuts, bikinis, thongs, regular brief looking panties, boy cut panties, and low-cuts. Tonks picked up the wildest colours and Larissa thought she was going to go blind. "I... I can't. I can't buy knickers, panties, or whatever! I just can't!"

Tonks softened her expression. "You have to, at least for now, Harry. Hmm... I'll better get used to calling you Larissa. Can I just call you 'Sa'?" Larissa nodded in frustration while she watched Hermione calmly putting a dozen panties in a cart.

After finishing with the panties, they got to choosing brassieres. Larissa was allowed to go into the fitting room to check if the bras fit. Hermione entered with her to help her as Larissa still had problems strapping them. Soon they confirmed that Larissa was a 34 D. Hermione was relieved that at least 'Sa' wasn't a DD. D was big, but aesthetically okay. After picking up several bras in different colors the women paid for the underwear, and then started on casual clothing. Larissa was relieved when it came to normal clothes. Underwear had been the toughest.

After their shopping adventure in Muggle London they went to the Leaky Cauldron, ate some lunch, and then passed to Diagon Alley. In Madam Malkin's Sa was able to complete her school uniform. Her Harry Potter robes fit almost alright, but she still needed the girls' uniform for underneath so that she could stop using Muggle clothes the whole time.

The rest of Saturday and Sunday Sa didn't want to leave the common room. She felt uncomfortable with all the love letters she kept receiving. Ron kept trying to cheer her up, but the only thing that would have cheered Sa up was being Harry Potter again. It was funny how many times she had wished to be someone else and now she desperately wanted to be the famous Harry Potter yet again. The scar was always well hidden under bangs of black hair, but Hermione was always reminding her not to play with the bangs or the scar might show up. As flawless as the transformation had been the scar, the link between Harry and Voldemort, always remained untouched.

Monday arrived and it was a relief to just be in classes again. They were in Defense Against the Dark Arts and suddenly Prof. McDowell was asking how many students could already do Patronuses. The few that had been in the DA in 5th year raised their hands, but many of the students still didn't know how to do one. Ralphus started to call students one by one to practice until they got it right. Larissa was shaking uncomfortably on her seat and whispered to Hermione. "You know I can't do my Patronus Charm here! Many students know that Harry Potter's Patronus is a stag. Do you have any idea of the confusion that might arise if I make my Patronus?"

Hermione recognized Sa's dilemma very well, but didn't know what to tell her. "Er... Maybe you can say that you don't know how to do it and just waste the teacher's time until he calls another student."

Ron then made a suggestion of his own. "Fake that you faint! Say that you are sick! Do you have a Nosebleed Nougat? You could make your nose bleed!" The redhead looked excited just thinking about it.

Larissa's hands were sweating when she was called. Ron and Hermione gave their friend sympathetic looks when she approached the teacher. She prepared her wand and said: "Expecto...", but then she grabbed her pelvis as if in pain. "Ouch! It hurts!"

The teacher looked at Larissa. "Are you okay? Do you need the hospital wing?" Larissa was becoming pale and was panting, still clutching her pelvic area. Hermione and Ron quickly came to her aid.

"We'll escort her to the hospital wing, professor," said Ron and they took Larissa's things and got her out of the room. Just when they were far enough from the DADA classroom Ron laughed. "That was awesome! Your act was perfect! Faking pain just as you were about to use the charm!"

"Who says I was faking? It hurts like hell!" Larissa kept panting and Hermione frowned. "It does hurt a lot. I think I'm going to throw up!"

Ron was shocked, but soon he and Hermione started to quicken their pace in taking Larissa to the hospital wing when they encountered Snape. "What are you three doing out of class? Thirty points from..." Just then, Larissa vomited all over Snape. Ron and Hermione were horrified, but Larissa kept looking paler.

Snape stared at the trio and used a cleansing charm on himself and the floor. "Just take 'that' to the hospital wing." The professor continued on the opposite direction while the three Gryffindors, relieved at their strange luck, kept going toward the infirmary.

Madam Pomfrey gave Larissa a painkilling potion and examined her. "You're bloated. I think you have PMS, but I don't think this is possible. The transformation can't be that perfect..."

"What's PMS?" Larissa seemed genuinely confused.

Hermione answered the question mechanically, but it didn't explain anything to Larissa: "Pre Menstrual Syndrome, but like Madam Pomfrey says... It can't be."

Larissa was still immersed in complete confusion. Her only relief and happiness at that moment was having thrown up on Snape. That memory was going to stay with her forever.

The silhouette of a curvy girl was approaching him. A fruity smell was surrounding the atmosphere, and the girl let her school robes and clothes drop to the floor. She had beautiful breasts, luscious red lips and astounding emerald orbs. She caressed his face and he started kissing her chastely, then deeply, and stronger. His hands traveled to the well-developed curves that adorned her chest. He wanted to consume her whole.

Draco woke up from his dream feeling quite disturbed. His sheets were a bit wet with a sticky fluid as he had slept naked. He swore and then spoke to himself: "How old are you? Fourteen?" Wet dreams were supposed to be a thing of a three or four years before, but the most disturbing thing was not the fact of having had a wet dream. The problem was the girl in the dream and Draco swore again. He had to be going insane. Perhaps he had to look for a cure for stupid Potter. After looking around the dormitory, Draco noticed that the other Slytherin boys weren't up yet, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep more. He got up and after picking his towel and things headed for the bathroom. While in the shower, vivid images from the dream came to his mind and he shook his head under the water as if trying to wash those thoughts away. He couldn't like Harry's girl form. That was ridiculous, but then he remembered how nice Larissa had looked with her wet t-shirt. Draco felt hotness between his legs and closing his eyes changed the water temperature letting it run colder.

Larissa woke very early feeling sticky and stinky all over. Her first thought was 'What is this disgusting smell?' The girl got up from the bed and decided that she needed a shower. She took her towel and got pastel pink panties out of her trunk, then headed for the bathroom. Larissa removed her nightgown and noticed a huge red stain on the nightgown's back. "What the...?" Then she removed her panties and screamed.

Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati all woke up with the sudden scream coming from the bathroom. Hermione quickly got up and ran towards the bathroom. "Larissa, you okay? I'm going to open the door!" Hermione entered and saw Larissa frozen in shock looking at the blood stained panties. Hermione had to control an urge to laugh.

"It... It's... Blood... I'm hemorrhaging, Hermione!"

"No you're not! And if you don't want Lavender and Parvati to think you're strange, you should lower your voice. You just got your first period and this is just the beginning, Ha, I mean, Larissa. The transformation was definitely flawless. You will get this bloody visitor monthly."

"You've got to be kidding me! You mean I am going to bleed every month? For how long?"

"It depends on the girl. It can last anywhere from two to eight days. Mine lasts four. Don't worry, it's nothing to be afraid of. You should know this from Muggle Primary school..."

Larissa was ashamed. "I... I didn't pay much attention to the topic on girls' anatomy..."

"Figures. Well, you will have to wash those with cold water and soap. Don't use hot water or the stain will stay there. I'll help you." Hermione patiently washed the nightgown and the panties, squeezed the excess water, and hung them on towel holders. Larissa observed all this. "Don't get used to it. Next time you'll have to do it yourself."

Larissa winced, but nodded. "My clothes will get stained..."

"I never thought this would happen. Never thought you would get periods. This complicates things and it's bad. It means you can get pregnant, Larissa. Anyway, I'll give you pads for now. Later we can ask Tonks through the Headmaster to buy you sanitary pads and get them to you via owl. Of course you won't dare open that on the table!"

Hermione left the bathroom, came back with a pad and quickly gave a demonstration to Larissa on how to place it on the panties. Larissa thought she was going to faint. Being a girl was too complicated. The thought of bleeding monthly was too much, but the thought of being capable of getting pregnant was even worse. At least she was sure that she wouldn't fall for any boy...

Larissa got into the shower and felt frustrated as she saw the blood running with the water. It was horrible and disgusting. She washed her female genitals with lots of soap and after a while, she got out and put some of Hermione's Raspberry lotion everywhere. She didn't want to smell like blood. She also put on some Raspberry cologne and thought that maybe she should also ask Tonks to buy her toiletries. She could give Tonks access to her Gringotts account.

The girl looked at the pink panties she had brought and remembering Hermione's instructions, placed the pad and put the underwear on. It felt odd, but not completely uncomfortable. At least the pad was very thin. Still, frustration was all over her. She hated being a girl. She just wanted to be Harry Potter again. What if she had to face Voldemort as Larissa? She then decided to definitely push that thought aside.

Larissa came out of the bathroom and received curious glances from Lavender and Parvati. They had heard part of what had happened in the bathroom and Parvati was brave enough to ask: "Aren't you a bit old to be getting your first period? No offense... Although I do know girls that got it at sixteen, but you are the first I meet that starts at seventeen... You also seem quite ignorant for a girl your age..."

Hermione decided to make up another lie for Harry. "She was raised with five brothers and no mother so she is not very girlish."

Lavender intervened. "Well, Ginny is the youngest of seven and six are brothers too... Although at least she had her mum." Lavender gave a sympathetic smile to Larissa.

Sa quickly dressed, removed stained sheets from her bed, and whispered to Hermione: "I want to be alone for a while. Don't look for me." With that, Larissa threw the sheets into a basket and left the room with her school things, but Hermione was worried and decided to look for Ron.
