Chapter 5: A Plan is Proposed

"Hermione I know you're upset with me, but there are eyes everywhere. If the ministry does not believe I am treating you appropriately, they will stop me from being with you." Harry sighed softly sitting down at Hagrid's table. Hermione glared across the table at him crossing her arms. Hagrid's hut was the only safe haven on the property in which charms put in place by Professor McGonagall protected the inhabitants from being overheard.

"Come on Hermione, just listen to him." Ginny said softly reaching out to hold her hand. It had taken a few weeks but the girls had clearly convinced both the minister and Professor Snape that they could be trusted to return to classes.

"Oh fine. You said you had some big idea, so spill. What is this brilliant idea of yours?" Hermione snapped. Before Harry could begin speaking there was a firm knock at the door. A moment later the door opened and Hermione gasped. "George! what are you doing here?"

"We're getting out of here baby girl." George said with a smile as he embraced his girlfriend finally.

"What do you mean? We'll be caught."

"Don' ya spose you should tell her from the beginnin'" Hagrid asked with a chuckle. George nodded and took a seat next to Hermione at the small wooden table which stood in the centre of the hut.

"Have you noticed the number of girls who have been out of classes lately? Off sick being treated at St. Mungo's?" Ginny asked quietly. Hermione nodded, a look of concern crossing her face. "Truth is they're missing and the ministry doesn't have a clue where they are so they invented that story to save face. If the general population were to discover that the ministry has lost not only students but girls, there will be outcry."

"Mcgonagall started a rebellion against the Mikaeus." Harry interjected. "But before we can do anything we needed to get our recruits to a safe haven. So we are slowly relocating members to prepare them. We're taking you and Ginny to safety."

"But Snape, he'll-"

"Snapes on our side!" Ginny said interrupting her.

"What?" Hermione was shocked.

"Well he wasn't." Harry said softly. Until he learned that the Minister had transferred Ginny to my care. Severus believes that women should act as they truly are meant to be based on their identified status. That being said he still respects women. When he learned that Ginny had been taken from him simply by the will of Mikaeus, he was furious. He discovered that the Minister is not acting to the best interest of the populace."

"I do love Harry, but I didn't make that vow and Snape damn well knows it!" Ginny said stamping her foot.

"Calm down Gin its okay." Hermione said quietly.

"All right guys here's the plan." George said pulling out the Marauders' map and placing it on the round oak table top. "At 10 pm, all dorms are lights out. We then make our way from here to Snape's office in Dungeon six here."

"Why there?" Hermione asked, still a little skeptical and hesitant to believe that Severus Snape had changed sides so quickly. Hadn't he just violated her privacy by changing her while she was not aware of her surroundings? Wasn't that like date rape?

"Snape has so graciously allowed us to use his floo network which is luckily not monitored by the Department of Female Submission." Harry replied. "Until then we just have to wait here."

"Hermione, do you have any other clothes?" George asked turning to her. Hermione looked down, she was wearing a red and yellow Gryffindor onesie which was her new uniform.

"No," Hermione responded sullenly. "They took all of our adult clothes. Would you believe some of the other students actually think the littles are lucky because they don't have to wear the school robes anymore? Instead were stuck with these ugly things. Full feetie pyjamas for outside and legless onesies for inside."

"Oh I don't know I find them rather cute." George said softly causing both Hermione and Ginny to giggle.

Later that night, as George, Hermione, Harry and Ginny quietly made their way towards the castle, utilizing each shadow and hiding place to their advantage, Hermione was horrified as she realized her onesie was sagging. It was amazing how much your body changed in just a few weeks; she hadn't even felt herself go. She just closed her eyes and kept on walking hoping that nobody noticed. Ginny looked over at her with the same ashamed look on her face. It wasn't long before the group were walking slowly along the dungeon corridors dodging prefects and Slytherin House Masters until they reached the staircase that led down to Dungeon six. Dungeon Six held only three rooms: The Potions Classroom, the potion stockroom and the Potion Master's Office. Snape was already standing outside the door at the far end of the hall awaiting their arrival.

"Come in come in quickly now." He said ushering the four students into the small antechamber. Entering the main office, Snape motioned for Harry and George to take a seat by the fireplace. "Hermione, Ginny come" In exchange for his help, Snape and Harry had agreed that from now on he, when available, would be Ginny's primary caregiver and Harry would reassume the role of boyfriend and secondary caregiver; the same went for George and Hermione. Both younger boys were more than willing to make that agreement. Snape led both girls into one of the bedrooms to the left of the main hall and locked the door behind them. Hermione looked around and realized they were in her nursery but something was very different. All of a sudden it dawned on her, there were now two of everything in the room. Two cribs, two highchairs, etc.

"wha?"

"This room will now be shared with Ginny." Snape said answering her unasked question.

"Okay why are we in here now? We are going into hiding." Ginny asked softly.

"Not with a messy bum you aren't." Snape responded cooly as he picked up Hermione placing her on the changing table. Hermione wriggled against him but Snape was stronger and kept her firmly in place. He unbuttoned the white clasps beneath her legs pulling her onesie up to her waist and easily undid her thick white and pink diaper.

"You mean you aren't going to give my clothes back?" Hermione asked with a frown. She was surprised how whiney her voice sounded; she hadn't articulated it that way. "I thought you had joined our side."

"I have sweet girl," Snape cooed as he delicately coated her nether lips and bum in baby powder. "The bad man is going to pay for what he is doing to all the sweet little girls like you. He does not have your best interests at heart. But no I am definitely not giving you back your previous clothes. I have disposed of them; little girls should be in more appropriate clothing don't you think?" After Snape had changed her diaper, he dressed Hermione in a clean green turtle onesie and a pink jacket and pink shoes. Snape tied her long brown hair back in two braids before sending her out to George who smiled when he saw her. He secretly loved seeing her all dressed up as a little girl. Even the braids gave him a severe hard on which he stroked discreetly under the table. A few minutes later the trio was joined by Ginny and Snape who uttered quick instructions on using the floo network.

It was well after midnight when the foursome arrived at McGonagall's head quarters South of London. McGonagall had been expecting them and after making sure the group got some proper nourishment ushered them to their rooms. The girls were to share the bedroom on the left and the boys the room across the hall.

"Ugh Georgie get this thing off me…" Hermione whined as she stood in the room.

"I don't know Minnie is that really a good idea?" George asked quietly.

"He might be right." Ginny commented as she crawled into bed, oddly enough feeling a little uneasy sleeping in a bed without bars around her.

"I will be fine guys. George I can't do it myself, some stupid charm on us. Can you just do it please."

"Very well." George replied, quickly undoing the diaper and removing it, placing it in bedside drawer between the two twin beds. "Goodnight girls." Hermione sighed contentedly as she climbed into her bed, she didn't even bother to put pants on; she was enjoying the feel of air on her crotch. Several hours later, she awoke and with a groan felt cold wetness surrounding her in the bed. She looked around for Ginny but her bed was empty and the covers pulled back. 'She must be in the bathroom' she thought to herself and got up and started to remake the bed from the extra linens in the closet. Just as Hermione was hiding the last of the soiled linens in the cupboard, she heard the door creak open.

"Ah, whats this?" Hermione froze, the voice was not Ginny's but McGonagall's.

"Professor, I - uhh- I err… sorry, I don't know what happened." She stuttered.

"Well I do Miss Granger." She said sharply. "Now you know that I do not approve of the treatment that the young witches are experiencing at the hand of Mikaeus. However littles have been around for longer than I have Miss Granger and they are chosen, witches do not choose such a lifestyle. But I know you were warned before bed last night and here we are. I have no choice but to get your guardian."

"No, no Professor. I-" Hermione tried to protest but McGonagall was already down the hallway calling out. 'Snape? he's here?' She didn't have to wait long and a moment or two later Snape swept into the room, his travel cloak slung over his arm. Hermione closed her eyes and waited for the fiery inferno of anger that was sure to erupt from Snape, but for a moment he said nothing. The sympathetic look he gave her was even worse than any string of threats he could accost her with.

"I though Mr. Weasley would have cautioned you about the changes to your body Hermione." He finally said sitting down on Ginny's bed.

"And I thought you were on our side?" She spat angrily. She really wasn't angry but pretty embarrassed to be standing in front of him in a t-shirt, a damp one at that.

"I would be wary of that tongue young lady is that anyway to talk to your guardian?" Hermione bit her lip. She knew she must have sounded petty and ridiculous. Snape grabbed on to her hand and pulled her closer to him leaning her up against his knee still standing but now only inches from his face where he could control her movement. "I will put a dummy between those beautiful lips if I have to."

"I'm sorry Sir I did not mean it. But you are going to all this trouble to help stir the pot under Mikaeus' ass so why are you doing this to me?" Snape sighed and was silent for a long couple of minutes which made Hermione frown slightly. Finally he spoke but slowly and cautiously.

"The fact that you consider me doing something negative to you tells me that you are not yet reconciled with your true self. Mikaeus is doing some horribly immoral and highly illegal things in office, but he did not invent the custom of Daxosia. Now I know you are muggle born but you are also the brightest on record so surely you know that?" Hermione nodded. She knew the origins of Daxosia and that it had been around for many many centuries. She also knew once set in motion the effects were irreversible.

"Yes and I know there is no stopping them."

"I am sorry that you are not undergoing these changes of your own will, but I am not sorry that you are embracing your true self. You are smart enough to know that you need to listen to your caregivers and they do only what they must for your wellbeing. Now go put a clean diaper on and I will see you downstairs for breakfast." Snape stood and walked briskly towards the door. As he reached the doorframe he paused as if to feign that the thought had just occurred. "Oh and we will see to your punishment this afternoon."

"Fuck…"
