I must thank all my patient readers and reviewers for sticking with my work. I want to dedicate this chapter to my friend Gingerstorm101 for giving me such positive feedback to continue on. Please enjoy this chapter everyone! :)
Chapter 3- Information Overload
"We should pour some water on him."Ron said as Snape continued on with his diagnostic spell.
Snape was not overly the greatest with healing spells and implements, but at this time there was really no other option then trying to figure out what sort of hex was placed on Potter.
"Honestly Ronald! Just let the Professor do what needs to be done."Hermione exclaimed in agitation. She feared that something life threatening might have just occurred to her best friend.
"Relax 'Mione', it was just a suggestion. Harry is probably just really tired. You know as well as I do that Harry never gets enough sleep."
"I am afraid that this situation is a little more severe then that."Snape said as he looked over the piece of parchment he had recorded information on as he was performing the diagnostic on Potter.
"What do you mean?"Hermione asked as the hairs on the back of her neck stood straight up. Her head was starting to piece together everything that had occurred since Dumbledore had placed collars around their necks.
Snape stepped away from Harry's bedside and turned around to face Hermione and Ron. He normally did not mind with being the bearer of bad news, but right now he was not pleased with Albus' lack of information that could hurt them all.
"Come on Snape, spill it already!"Ron stated in irritation. He just really hated being ignored and shoved off like his opinion didn't matter in the slightest. This was exactly how he was feeling and he wanted nothing more at this moment then to fly on his broom with Harry beside him while in competition to see who could catch the golden snitch first.
'Boy I am really going to miss Quidditch. I hope my family will come and save us from whatever Dumbledore has planned, otherwise I don't think freedom is going to be an option.'Ron thought to himself while he looked over at Harry's still body.
Snape just glared intently at Weasley for a minute before he decided to speak about Potter's misfortune.
"According to this,"Snape said while holding up the informative piece of parchment, "Trying to wake up Potter would be a grave mistake. Whatever spell was placed upon the objects was activated when potter touched them because of a spell of Dumbledore's own creation that the old wizard placed on the collars. Dumbledore showed me a list of his favourite spells before while we were drinking tea together. The spell on this parchment was one of those spells and also one that I never had the fortune to learn about until now. The spell can not be reversible unless the owner of the spell makes it as such."Snape explained.
Snape could see the confusion written all over Weasley's face. As for Granger, he could see the curiousness and wonder on her face from the need to know something new.
"Sir, why didn't you ask Professor Dumbledore about what the spells where and what they did? I thought that you would have wanted to know what a spell you did not know meant. After all you are quite brilliant in your knowledge."Hermione explained which made Snape glare at her.
"You never cease to amaze me little miss know-it-all."Snape growled at the girl making her back up a step in fright.
"Leave her alone for once in your pathetic existence of a life you greasy git!"Ron practically yelled as he moved towards Snape with a confidence that no one usually would possess when confronting Snape. "We are adults now and are in the same position as you are. I would advise for you to leave my girlfriend alone!"
Snape smirked back at the boy who was only inches away from his face with a look of determination on it. That look just made the man want to break the ever horrible news on the children, yes because of their age Snape compared them to him as children, even more now than ever.
"Sorry about your luck Weasley but you all are children to me and according to this piece of parchment, are going to remain as children for a long time. Also if you must know, I was having a horrible day when the Headmaster summoned me to his office the day he showed me the spells. Albus always would summon me at the most inopportune times."Snape said sarcastically before he went on with what he wanted to say. "I did manage to ask him about the few that I didn't know and he told me that they were spells of his own creation. He told me that they were under construction and that they were not very important before he changed the subject. At the time I thought nothing of it."Snape explained in his teaching tone of voice.
"I hope I am not right in saying this, but according to everything that has been said and done so far, you and I are probably thinking the same thing sir."Hermione said in a forced calm voice.
"Enlighten me Miss Granger on what you think is going to happen?"Snape asked as he folded up the piece of parchment and put it into the inside pocket of his cloak before he folded his arms over his chest.
Ron just looked at both Snape and Hermione like they both had grown two heads. Why was he the only one who didn't have the slightest clue on what was happening?
"My guess is that somehow we are all going to be deaged. There are going to be age differences between the three of us and you because you are already older then we are now. You will only be affected slightly by whatever hex was placed on these collars. Since Harry touched the objects, he is probably the first one that will be effected. As far as I can think (Hermione gulped), Harry, Ron and myself will all be infants eventually."The girl said with a slight waver in her voice.
"What? That makes no sense! I seriously doubt that we will be turned into toddlers."Ron protested as he walked over to Hermione and tried to lay a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder. Hermione just stepped away from Ron while staring avidly into Snape's black eyes.
"No, I am sure that I am on the same wave length in thought as you sir. Everything so far points in that direction."Hermione said determinedly.
As much as he hated to admit it, Miss Granger had it dead on. That was pretty much what the parchment told him. Now he just had to break the rest of the news to them. He was thinking of going down to the kitchen to make some tea so they could calmly discuss the situation. He did not feel like talking to an angry Weasley and a distraught girl while in the presence of Potter any longer. If they were in the kitchen they no longer had to look at Harry.
"How about we go down to the kitchen to have some tea, then after we are more relaxed we can discuss this inconvenience further?"Snape asked, but demanded calmly and with a bit of sternness in his words.
"That sounds like a pretty good idea sir."Hermione said as she walked over to Harry's bedroom door and opened it.
Snape just raised an eyebrow at Ron in expectation. Ron just shrugged his shoulders at Snape before following Hermione out of the room. He actually thought that a relaxing cup of tea sounded like a brilliant idea even if the idea was Snape's.
^_^HP^_^
The kitchen was completely crowded at Number 12 Grimmuald Place. Everyone involved in the Order of The Phoenix was there except for the infamous Potions Master and the 'Golden Trio'. Albus Dumbledore was leading a meeting about the whereabouts of Snape, Harry, Hermione, and Ron while Voldemort was still wreaking havoc in the wizarding world.
Everyone one was sitting at the extended rectangular table all digging into some freshly made food and tea that Molly Weasley was keeping herself busy with.
The Weasley matriarch had been worrying all afternoon about where Harry, Ron and Hermione were. They were family to her and should have arrived first out of the Order. She also could not help but notice that Severus was not among them either. She was sure that she was not the only one to notice and had even mentioned her concerns to her husband, Aurther Weasley. He had just told her not to worry and that there had to be a reasonable explanation as to why they were not here for this meeting.
"Now I must thank everyone for coming to this most urgent meeting. I called everyone here today on the behalf of a few missing Order members."Dumbledore announced as everyone at the table settled down to listen to what the Headmaster had to say. Even Molly stopped bustling around with all the kitchen duties to hear some news on the subject she was waiting to hear desperately about.
"I know that school has yet to let out for the summer holiday, but there has been rumours about the whereabouts of Professor Snape, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. News as we know it travels fast amongst the walls of Hogwarts. That is also the reason why I have invited Miss Luna Lovegood, Miss Ginny Weasley and Mr. Neville Longbottom to this meeting."Dumbledore said before a huff could be heard across the room from Molly.
Molly Weasley was solely against the children coming to Order meetings. She hated having them involved even though all of them were adults other then her daughter Ginny who happened to be a year younger. She did not want any of these children getting hurt. There were plenty of older members of the Order to fight on the students behalf in the war against Voldemort.
"Ah I have some wonderful news for you Molly. I have taken the liberty of placing Harry, Ron and Hermione in a safe place with Severus. They can not escape it and it is unplottable."Dumbledore said matter of factually with his eyes twinkling madly.
"Professor Dumbledore, why are we here? I get that we should know that everyone is safe but normally we are never apart of Order meetings."Ginny said as she looked over at Neville and Luna then her mum with a confused look on her face.
"You are right my dear. I have summoned the three of you here and out of school early to put you three in a safe place as well. The Order member I have chosen to take you three away from this war with is Molly."
"What? Mum is going to keep us away from the war! How is this going to work?"Ginny asked as she clenched her hands at her side in a form of frustration. Her mum was the last person she wanted to be around while the war was taking place. Her mum would not let them out of her sight. She knew this well. She just wanted to be wherever Harry was.
"That is where Bill and Fleur come in. I want Molly and you three to stay at the sea cottage. I have made it a safe place already."Dumbledore said as he looked at the four soon to be prisoners. It also would keep Molly busy.
"If mum, Ginny, Luna and Neville will be using the cottage, then where will me and Fleur be staying?"Bill asked as he stood up from his seat while holding his soon to be wife's hand.
"Since Ronald and Ginny won't be there any longer, you both can take up residence at The Burrow."
"Well at least we can still stay at our shop Fred."
"Right you are George."Fred said before Dumbledore took over the conversation once more.
"I have to insist that you both close down the shop for awhile and stay at The Burrow with your father, Percy, Bill and Fleur."Dumbledore said sternly making the twins frown.
"What about Charlie?"Fred asked as an after thought. It was not very fair if Charlie could remain in Romania while they could not keep their shop open.
"I want Charlie to stay in Romania until it is time for the final battle. That is where we are going to get dragons to fight on our side."Dumbledore said in a stern voice, choosing his words wisely. He knew that the twins would not be very happy about his decision.
"Why do we have to close the shop down? There will be nothing to do at The Burrow especially if Ron and Ginny are not there to play Quidditch."George complained as he glared at Dumbledore for a brief moment then looked over at Ginny with hopeful eyes. Maybe somehow him and Fred could convince Dumbledore to let Ron and Ginny stay with them.
"I believe that you will be safer at The Burrow. I also think that you, Fred, Percy and Bill can help with matters at the Ministry to help out your father. Ginny and Ronald will be safer in different safe homes because they are the most hunted for being close friends of Harry's."Dumbledore explained in a serious tone rarely heard.
"Sir, I have a question! What about my father? What will happen to him if I am not there to make sure he is okay?"Luna asked as she looked at Professor Dumbledore in wonder.
"Miss Lovegood I have already taken care of that. Xenophilius is being watched over by a few other Order members right now as we speak. You have nothing to worry about my dear. He is safe!"Dumbledore spoke gently making the girl give him a small smile.
"What about Mr. Potter, Albus? Why did you appoint Severus of all the Order members to watch over Mr. Potter, Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley when I know that Remus and Molly would be willing to?"Minerva asked just as Remus interrupted before Dumbledore could speak again.
"Me and Tonks are more than happy to take Harry and his friends in our care Albus."Remus said calmly as he took a sip from his cup of tea. He was looking a little worse for wear at the moment because the full moon was approaching fast. It was just a couple more days until the werewolf would come forth taking full control over his body in an exhausting night.
"I am glad you are willing to offer your services Remus, but I must decline your offer. I have already made plans for you to convince other werewolves to join the cause. You are to convince them to join our side in the battle. Plus you are also needed alongside your wife Tonks to take care of your son Teddy."Dumbledore said knowingly which made Lupin look over at his wife and smile.
"You will be sad to know that since the places where the children are being kept are unplottable, there will be no visiting allowed. The children will not be leaving the safe places and neither will their keepers. I have picked Molly and Severus because I know how responsible they are. Severus is a Potions Master and can make sure that everything will stay in order by making the right Potions if need be. I have also asked him to keep making the Wolfsbane Potion for you Remus."Dumbledore said as he looked over at the werewolf with that damned twinkle in his eyes. "I have picked Molly because of how watchful she is. She can also do some healing charms that could come in handy if any of the students have any unfortunate accidents.
On the inside, Molly was smiling from ear to ear. She was going to be able to keep her daughter and her friends under lock and key. That meant that since they were her responsibility, she was the one that would keep them safe and well protected.
"How is that fair? We all know that Harry needs to be the one to defeat You Know Who. I also know that the members of Dumbledore's Army would do everything they could to help Harry with the cause. If we are all locked up, how are we suppose to help out?"Neville complained with passion. Him, Luna and Ginny were Harry's friends and would not back down from the battle. Who was Dumbledore to decide that for them?
"Mr. Longbottom, I am well aware of your concerns about the battle. If you all are under the best protection that the Order can offer nothing bad can happen to you. I am making sure you all will be safe! There is no longer any need to worry about losing anymore loved ones. My word is final. Older and more capable wizards will handle the matter."Dumbledore said sternly and quite plainly.
Everyone sat silently for a moment just letting Dumbledore's declaration sink in. Once Dumbledore made a decision as sternly as that there was definitely no turning back from it.
"Now on to other matters. Tonks you will be on alert for assistance on certain Order missions. I am sure that Andromeda will take care of Teddy on those occasions. As for Minerva, I want you to continue to watch over the school and place necessary protections in and around it for the up and coming year. It is in the event that Voldemort will strike."Dumbledore explained while he watched in unison as most of the Order members flinched or jumped at the mention of Voldemort's name.
"I am sorry to say that I must be leaving. There is much work that needs to be done at the Ministry."Kingsley said as he got up from the table. "Thank you so much for the delicious food Mrs. Weasley."
"That is quite alright."Mrs. Weasley said as she smiled at the polite man.
"Before you leave I have to tell you what I have planned for you Kingsley. I want you to stay on alert and watch over the muggle prime minister and his daughter. There is no need for them to get attacked by Death Eaters if we can help it."Dumbledore said piercing Shacklebolt with his twinkling blue eyes.
"I am already on it Albus, good day everyone."Kingsley said before he left the kitchen to find the door leading out of Grimmuald Place.
Everyone just watched the man leave before Dumbledore decided to finish what he wanted to say to close the meeting and let everyone be on there way to their destinations.
"Hagrid, I want you to parley with the giants. I want you to try and convince them to join our side of the battle just like Remus is to do with the werewolves. Last but not least, I want Mad Eye Moody to watch over Mundungus Fletcher."
"Albus, I have already been tracking his actions. There is belief that he might be sided with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."Moody claimed as he trained his magic eye on Dumbledore.
"That is why I chose you for the job my friend. I know that if anyone can keep an eye on Mundungus it is you Alastor."
"Dumbledore sir, who is goin to keep an eye on 'ogwarts and the Care of Magical Creatures class while I am gone?"Hagrid asked as he clenched the tiny cup in his large hands. He was surprised that it didn't break under the pressure he was putting on it.
Before the members came for this meeting, Molly was sure to cast charms on the dishes so they would not break. Sometimes the meetings did not go over well and with tempers flaring there was usually a couple smashed pieces of china.
"You have no need to worry Hagrid. As you heard, I have appointed Professor Mcgonnagall to look after the school and I have asked Professor Grubbly-Plank to take over your class in your absence. As for me myself, I have plans to be away from the school in the upcoming year which is why I have placed Professor Mcgonnagall in charge."Dumbledore explained in a sureness that only he would be ready to except at this given time. He was ready for his plan to be put in place and could not wait to have everyone doing their jobs. "Now that everyone knows what they are to be doing and where they are suppose to go, I think this meeting has come to an end. Good day!"With that all said and done, Dumbledore looked at every face in the room one more time before he turned away from them and walked out of Grimmuald place much in the same fashion as Kingsley had.
One by one everyone said their goodbyes and got up to leave until the only ones to remain were Mrs. Weasley, Neville, Luna, Ginny, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Percy, Fred and George.
Mr. Weasley was apprehensive in leaving behind his daughter and his wife. He knew he would not be able to see them until the war was over or even if he survived. He was pretty sure that his sons were feeling quite the same way with leaving the women behind.
"I am going to miss you my dears. Ginny be good for your mother. Neville please look after the girls?"Mr. Weasley asked making it rather clear that he was putting his trust in Neville. Neville just looked at Mr. Weasley with the up most confidence in his eyes and then looked over at the other Weasley boys with a deep respect.
"Don't worry about us Aurther. We will be okay."Molly said as she hugged her husband. "Fleur, keep the boys in line."
"I will try my best, Mrs. Weasley."The blond girl said and smiled before she took a hold of Bill's hand.
"Come on, back to The Burrow you lot."Mr. Weasley said as he walked over to a fireplace in the next room over and grabbed a handful of floo powder. Mrs. Weasley and her charges just watched silently as one by one everyone shouted out 'The Burrow' and disappeared in the green flames that swallowed them up. A tear just slowly slid down Molly's cheek at seeing her husband, sons and soon to be daughter-in-law leave. It would be a long while before she would once again see everyone.
"Mum don't worry, we will see everyone again before you know it."Ginny said trying to brighten the mood in the room.
"I know dear. Lets be on our way shall we."Mrs. Weasley said as she pulled out a muggle watch from a pocket in her dress. It was the port key that would trap them in the cottage.
Ginny knew as well as Neville and Luna that this would be their last moment of freedom for a long time. She was just hoping that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were better off with Snape. Since they were with the mean dungeons bat and the greasy git, she seriously doubted that things could be anything but bad with their situation.
^_^HP^_^
'Mm this tea is so soothing.'Hermione thought as she took the last sip from her cup.
Snape, Ronald and herself were seated at Snape's exceptionally small wooden kitchen table. It was square with four wooden chairs placed around it. Ron and Hermione were sitting across from one another while Snape was sitting in between them.
Snape had made the tea and had served them all some. He and Ron had finished their tea long before Hermione and now were sitting quite calmly waiting for someone to start the foreboding conversation.
"I think there was a Calming Draught placed into our drinks."Hermione said as she inspected her empty cup before she got up from her seat to take all three of their cups to the sink for something to occupy herself with.
"I laced all of our drinks with the potion so we would be relaxed and level headed enough to talk about what that old kook has done."Snape said in a calmer voice than he seemed to have when they were in Harry's room.
"Figures! I thought you liked the Headmaster?"Ron asked Snape before Hermione resumed her seat at the table.
"I respect the man and his ability to know everything about someone, but we are adults and should not have to be told what we can and can not do. I would think that the both of you would agree with me."Snape said with a raised eyebrow.
"For once, I can't believe that I am saying this, but Snape I agree with you. I think were all going to have to think of a way to out do Dumbledore."Ron said as he got a stunned look from Hermione.
"I never thought I would see the day where Ronald Weasley would agree with anything that the mean old dungeons bat had to say."Hermione said as she smiled and started to laugh. With the calming effect of both the potion and tea, Hermione could not help but have a little bit of fun after all the surprises they had to face all day.
Ron could not help but blush at Hermione's forwardness on joking at a time like this and most of all, laughing in the presence of Snape.
'Bloody Gryffindors! Why must I put up with them all the time?'Snape thought brusquely before he cleared his throat getting Hermione's and Ron's attention.
"Now I think it is time to tell you the side effects of the spell. As Miss Granger already explained earlier, You will all be infants eventually. That is actually true."Snape said making the room go deathly silent.
The silence tended to carry on for a couple minutes before Ron broke it.
"So what are you really trying to say?"Ron asked in an eerily empty voice so unlike himself.
"What I am trying to say is that you will start deaging slowly one by one. Mr. Potter is first, then it will be Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger then me. It will go in that order because of who met the boy first of how he can remember it.
"Right! He met me on the platform of nine and three quarters before we got on the train in our first year."Ron said as dawning came over him. He was apprehensive because he was the one after Harry who would deage.
"While we were on the train for our first year, I went into yours and Harry's compartment asking about Neville's toad."Hermione said knowing now that because of the order they met in she would be the last of the 'Trio' to deage.
"I on the other hand will probably only deage a little bit because of our age differences. I met all of you in your first potions lesson which makes me the last to deage."Snape declared as everyone looked at one another for a few quiet moments.
"So what else do we need to know?"Hermione asked as she rubbed her neck where her collar was placed. She could feel the smooth leather as she traced her fingers over it.
"Another side effect of the spell is that you will start acting and doing things like infants even before you are affected because Potter already activated it. That is something all together that needs to be discussed. I will tell you more when Potter wakes up."Snape said with his signature mask in place.
'Dumbledore is out of his mind if he thinks that I am going to raise Potter, Weasley and Granger as infants. I have no idea on how to even raise a child.'Snape thought as he started to glare once again at his least favourite students. He was watching as Hermione was stroking her collar and on instinct wanted to tear the thing from her slender neck. 'I swear I am going mad!'
"I think we should move to the living room. This chair is starting to hurt my arse!"Ron complained as he stood up from his seat.
Hermione and Snape said nothing as they followed Ron out to the living room. Ron and Hermione decided to take a seat on the couch while Snape sat in his comfy auto man beside the couch.
When Snape was comfortably seated, he used his wand to silently summon a couple books. One for himself and one for Hermione. He knew that Ron was not one for reading so he did not bother getting the boy a book. The books were two potion texts so Ron was rather thankful that Snape did not get one for him to read.
Ron's mind was jumping around from thought to thought anyway so there was really no way he was going to be able to focus his mind on anything for more than a couple minutes. He just wanted to sit and think through all the things that had happened and had been said to them so far.
Hermione on the other hand took the book gladly from Snape as a form of distraction. But as she was trying to focus on the text, her mind kept jumping to other matters much like Ron's.
Snape secretly would glance over the top of his book every few minutes to catch glimpses of both Hermione and Ron. He knew Hermione was pretty much pretending to read and Ron was lost in thought every time he looked over at the red head. Boy he couldn't wait until the Potter brat made his next appearance.
^_^HP^_^
The blackness was fading and becoming brighter making it hard to find bliss. Harry had been dreaming about how great it was to be the little boy that he was. Harry was very reluctant to stop the peaceful state he was in. He just felt so dazed and groggy that nothing could be more pressing then wanting a drink from his bottle right now.
'I want my bottle! I want my bottle! I want my bottle!'Harry thought in urgency.
Harry's eyes fluttered open while he was in a state of confusion wondering why he was in the Gryffindor dorms. He had his glasses on so seeing the room clearly was not a problem. It took him a few moments to regain his consciousness to realize that this room was almost like his room at Hogwarts in the Gryffindor dormitories except for the fact that his roommates were not present. It was just him and his bed in this room to his dismay. That's when everything came rushing back to him and he remembered that he was in Snape's house.
'I can't believe I actually wanted a bottle and still do.'Harry thought in embarrassment as he stood up from his bed. As his feet hit the floor, he automatically knew that something was wrong. He somehow felt shorter than usual. 'Maybe my thoughts have something to do with those items in my wardrobe. I mean even my clothes feel bigger than they usually are.'
Harry was silently freaking out as he made his way out of his room. He really wanted to go and find Ron and Hermione. Maybe they knew what was happening and could help him with his strange urge to want a bottle. Harry knew it was wrong to want it but his primal instinct was telling him to get the nearest adult to make him up a nice bottle of warm milk.
Harry made his way through the upstairs hallway silently. When he saw the stairs he could have swore that his heart jumped into his throat in nervousness. He was really reluctant to face Snape. He was even more frightened to face Snape in his strange foggy mindset. This foggy feeling was making him feel slow and vulnerable.
As slowly and silently as he could, Harry crept down the stairs that evidently led to the living room. When he came to the bottom step, he saw Hermione and Ron on the couch while Snape was sitting in a chair next to the couch.
"Harry!"Hermione yelled happily as she set the book she was reading on a coffee table in front of her. Snape ad Ron heard Hermione and snapped out of their own thoughts to look over at the stairs. There stood the boy-who-lived at the bottom of the staircase staring blankly back at them.
"Mate, do you look younger and shorter or is that just me?"Ron asked as he walked over to his best mate.
"I think a little of both."Harry confirmed as he waved his long sleeves of his shirt around.
"Sit down Potter!"Snape commanded as he pulled his wand out from his sleeve to perform another diagnostic. Snape waved his wand at the boy once him and Weasley were once more seated on the couch. "You are right Potter. You have deaged about two years. At this moment you are fifteen years old.
Hermione gasped in shock as she surveyed her best friend who was sitting next to her on the couch. To her he definitely looked shorter, but the gap between seventeen and fifteen wasn't very big and was hardly noticeable in looks. Harry pretty much looked like he usually did with his mop of black hair covering his lightning bolt scar and his glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose. His clothes were a little bigger on him then normal but still the differences were barely there.
"I am going to explain everything to you all right now. Potter you are the first out of all of us to start deaging. Since your the one who was a dunderhead and touched the objects in your wardrobe, a spell on the collars is going to make us all deage. Since it was you to do this, we will deage in the order that you remember meeting us in."Snape growled to the idiotic boy. It was suddenly harder to keep his anger in check. He was calm, but now that he had to face the problem dead on, he wanted nothing more than to put the Potter brat in his place. "Potter, you will now feel the need to do infantile things. Your friends will start doing infant things as well even before it is their turn to deage because of the spell activating like it did."
"So you are saying that because I touched those items in my wardrobe that me, Ron and Hermione will deage to infants?"Harry asked in wonder. 'Is this what Dumbledore really wants?'
"You three aren't the only ones who will deage but because of age differences, I won't become an infant. I am the one that will be raising you three."Snape growled in reluctance.
"I can't believe this! We finally had a chance to do something for the cause by hunting Horcruxes but now we get trapped in a house, deaged into infants and raised by Snape, our mean Potions Master. This is total rubbish."Ron complained before Hermione shrieked.
"Harry!"Hermione yelled as she jumped out of her seat and went to stand next to Snape's chair.
"What's wrong 'Mione'?Ron asked as he looked at the horrified expression on the girls face.
"Potter, you did not just urinate all over my furniture!"Snape snarled as he looked at the wet spot on the side of Hermione's pants to were Potter was sitting on the couch.
Ron stood up from the couch at hearing that and went to stand next to Hermione. He saw Harry sitting on the couch in a puddle of liquid.
Harry was blushing a deeper red than he had ever blushed before. There he sat on Snape's black leather couch in a puddle of his own pee. 'How could I pee my pants? How did that happen without me knowing it? I didn't even feel it coming. I only felt the wetness as it was already streaming out of me.'Harry thought in panic as he tried to cover his sopping wet pants with his hands.
"Explain yourself Potter!"Snape growled as he stood up from his seat and stood next to Hermione.
"I don't know sir! I didn't even feel it coming, it just happened."The boy tried to explain before Snape started making his way upstairs in his all to familiar fashion with his robes waving out behind him menacingly.
Hermione and Ron just stared at their best mate sympathetically as they tried to tell him that everything was okay and that it was probably an honest accident even though Hermione knew different. She was after all the smartest of her year and knew that her and Ron would be experiencing loss of bladder control soon enough it was just a matter of time.
Hermione took it upon herself to take out her wand and perform the spell 'scourgify' on Harry out of courtesy. 'Poor Harry! I can't believe Dumbledore would do this to us.'Hermione thought in frustration.
"How about we vanish before Snape comes back mate?"Ron asked as Harry went to stand up slowly from his spot on the couch. Harry still could not fathom what had just occurred.
Hermione just watched as Harry and Ron left the room in silence. She knew as well as they did that Snape was not going to come back down those stairs empty handed. She knew the boys would do whatever they could for their pride to stay as far from Snape as possible. Hermione just went back over to the couch, after she did the 'scourgify' spell to herself to get the stain off of her pants, to resume some more reading.
I hope you liked it! Please review.
Love SeverusSnapePrincess10:)
