Day Five- Males
The next day, George was a nervous wreck. He kept waiting for something completely horrible from Hermione as a result of his actions, but it was already halfway through the day and so far there had been nothing. And that's what worried George the most.
"Forge, just calm down. Maybe she's just having a hard time coming up with something. Don't worry, you'll be fine," Fred tried.
But George couldn't calm down, it was just too much, it was like the calm before a horrible thunderstorm. And he had a feeling that like a thunderstorm, Hermione would destroy everything in her path. Now George thought that she was cute when mad, but when angry, Merlin help the poor soul.
Then it came, but in the form of a spell or a curse, instead in the form of every girl or boy that liked Hermione in the school. And they didn't just like Hermione, they also liked hitting George, or at least that's what he began to think after the fifth girl came up to him, smacked him while calling him a pig, and then walked away.
The next girl who tried to do that though didn't get away. He grabbed her hand before it came into contact with his face and demanded, "What is wrong with everyone today?"
The girl, a Ravenclaw beauty, sneered and said, "As if you don't know, you fairy."
"Actually, I don't, but I would love it if you were to fill me in."
The girl rolled her eyes but answered nonetheless, "Hermione told us all how she caught you going at it with Fred. Which is just absolutely disgusting."
"What?" George yelled, startling the group of first years standing nearby.
"Oh, please, don't deny it. We all knew it was going to happen, after all, we're not stupid."
"Could've fooled me," George retorted. "I am telling you right now, I am not sleeping with any member of my family."
"And I'm supposed to believe you over Hermione Granger?" the girl snorted before she flounced away to her own classes.
"Hermione Granger!" George yelled as he began to storm about the castle, looking for his supposed girlfriend.
Finally, he found her in the Gryffindor common room, along with Bill, who had decided to stay a few days, Harry, Ron, and his twin. He marched right up to where she was reading and demanded, "What the bloody hell did you think you were doing?"
"George, what are you talking about?" she replied, trying her best to look innocent.
"You know bloody well what I'm talking about!" George was mad enough to attack her, though luckily someone was holding him back to prevent him from doing anything that he would regret later.
"Forge, what is wrong?" Fred asked as he fought to suppress his brother.
Now knowing who it was and not wanting to fuel the rumours, George pushed his brother off of him. "Get off me, you bloody wanker. Don't you know what people have been saying?"
All four of the boys shook their heads, causing George to bellow, "That little witch has been going around saying that I shagged Fred."
Suddenly, the entire room was quiet; every student that had been busy with his or her own activities was now staring at the group, wondering how all of this was going to play out. "Maybe we should go somewhere else to discuss this," Bill suggested, he was the first to break that deafening silence of that room.
George shook his head furiously though. "No, I want everyone to be around when Hermione admits that she was lying."
Hermione stood up from her seat, but it didn't make much of a difference, she was still obviously shorter than everyone she was talking to. "And why would I do that?" she asked.
"Because you were angry that I put that small spell on you and you got a detention," George answered.
"First of all, that wasn't just a small spell. Second, if I was mad, I would have every right to, that is my first detention at Hogwarts," Hermione stated. Then more lowly, so only George could hear, she concluded, "And why would I make up a story about what I wanted to have happen to me."
"What?" he asked, in the same low tone that she was using.
"You're very cute in a skirt, George, especially when you fall over," Hermione commented before picking up her book and running off.
George just stood their shocked for a moment, he knew she might be lying once again, but there was just something in the way she said it. Something that rang of truth. It wasn't until Fred waved an arm in front of his face that he finally snapped out of it. "And what did Hermione say to have you go all spacey?" his twin asked.
George shook himself out of his thoughts, and replied shortly, "Nothing, come on, we've got planning to do."
He wasn't planning on having Harry, Ron, and Bill follow him, but they did. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Harry answered, "We want some answers about you two, and that is one of those things that Hermione is not willing to share, along with how much she ways, but I think that just goes with girls in general."
"All right, but if we let you in, you have to promise not to rat us out to anyone. Especially Hermione Jane Granger," Fred supplied.
"Done," the three answered at the same time.
"Well, come along then."
It had taken a while to explain everything to Bill, Harry, and Ron, considering Ron took everything they said as a lie, but finally they were able to do it. The good news was that they now had five people on their side, which meant that they were just about even wit-wise with Hermione. It was in that same session that they came up with a perfect way for get revenge against the student.
They waited until she was alone in library before casting the spell; well really, Bill was the only one able to cast to spell seeing as he was the only one comfortable with the type of advanced magic. They watched as, suddenly, Hermione was no longer a Hermione, but instead became Herman. What shocked them though was the fact that she didn't even notice right away, it took her an entire half an hour to realise the change, and that was only because she noticed how much lighter her head felt, and when she finally reached back to smooth it, she screamed at finding she now had a very short cut, though she didn't make a sound. Hermione immediately raced to the nearest mirror, which happened to be in a farther corner of the library.
Hermione looked into the mirror, and then screamed at seeing a short, brown-haired, brown-eyed wizard looking back at her. But once again, no noise came. She clawed at her shirt, loosening the tie and popping off the top two buttons, looking down though, she saw that she was indeed a boy.
At the sound of laughing she did a complete turnabout, seeing the group of boys hiding between two rows of books. She marched her way over there and did her best to look scary, which was difficult seeing as she had no idea how to hold herself in this new body, which caused the boys to laugh all the more. When she noticed Ron and Harry she raised an eyebrow, obviously asking what they thought they were doing.
His voice still light from delight, Harry answered, "Fred and George told us everything, Mione. Starting right from the beginning, and what with this afternoon's little act, we decided to help a fellow man out."
Hermione glared at the pair, silently calling them traitors. George shook his head and replied, "Like you said, love, all's fair in love and war. Speaking of which, I didn't get my kiss today. Scratch that, I'll wait until after the day is over, it just feels a bit odd, with us both being guys."
Hermione's hand lashed out and struck him in the back of the head. To which, Fred commented, "Now, that wasn't very nice. You're just going to have to get comfortable with who you are, Hermione. Besides, the spell is only going to last the day."
Hermione raised her wand to herself and tried a counter spell that had no effect whatsoever. Fred laughed, "It's a timed spell, Hermione. Like I said, you're just going to have to get comfortable for the day."
Hermione shook her wand in his face, silently threatening him, before she marched off, leaving her things in the library. "We're so going to die for that later," Fred laughed.
"But it was so worth it," Ron finished.
