''Thank you for reminding me why I hate portkeys'' Sweeny said as he doubled over again letting loose of all his stomachs contents.
''Well I do not know how to apparate, do you know because that would certainly help me?'' Severus rolled his eyes.
''Either way, how can you use magic? Do they let minors use magic here in England'' Sweeny stood back up trying to recover his strength; he wiped his dirty mouth with his scarf making Severus cringe, he conjured up a handkerchief and handed it to Sweeny.
''After my mother's death they allowed me to use magic, technically I am a full adult with responsibilities'' he answered pulling the borrowed jacket closer to his body , it smelled strongly of peppermint making Severus a bit nauseous but he toughed it out.
''Come along we do not have all day, do you have Ophelia's belongings and the potions?'' Wright nodded and handed Snape the small box, which he enlarged with a swift charm and a tap of the wand. ''I added a touch of ginger root which is usually used in beautification potions making it last longer. I tested it out on Polyjuice and it'll make the results last from an hour to at least 3 and a half so we don't go around drinking it like mad'' He took out to small vials ''I'll add the hair in then later at night I'll come back for you after finding someone you can turn to alright ?'' He looked over at Sweeny who simply nodded and shivered; Severus sighed and cast a warming charm on him making Sweeny's face relax.
''What you are doing is brave, helping her out you know…it's very brave'' Sweeny said smiling at Severus but Snape looked away holding the vial.
''I'm not doing this just for her…If we find out where the death eaters are and their plans we will tell authorities, it could bring us a step forward to winning the war'' he turned to face Sweeny. ''Being brave doesn't make you good'' Severus uncorked the vial, with a swift hand movement he chugged the whole thing. Sweeny stared at him for a moment waiting for the effects.
''Nothing's happe-'' suddenly Severus's insides began writhing as though he'd just swallowed live snakes, he wondered whether he was going to be sick ;then a burning sensation spread rapidly from his stomach to the very ends of his fingers and toes bringing him gasping to all fours. Next came a horrible melting feeling, as the skin all over his body bubbled like hot wax and before his eyes, his hands began to shorten, fingers became thinner, but certainly not delicate filled with cuts and burns. His shoulders painfully became smaller and a prickling on his head told him that his hair was creeping down becoming long and slightly curled, his eyes burned somewhat as they changed color and he felt his clothes becoming much more loose. His hips and chest hurt as if they were being squeezed and stretched; suddenly the worst pain of all came from his lower area.
''Severus…Severus are you alright'' instead of respond Severus held himself as he felt a disturbingly wet feeling run down between his legs.
''Sweeny….remember when Ophelia asked me to make all those stomach soothing and blood stooping potions for her before we left ?'' Sweeny nodded ''I think she was on her period because I feel like someone is stabbing me in the abdomen'' Sweeny let out a wild laugh, tears began run down his face.
''OH GOD I CAN'T BREATH'' Severus rolled his eyes and muttered a spell to clean the smell of blood from him.
''Oh just shut up , I'll suck it up like she does and go on with the plan , now hurry up and help me change'' Severus said casting a See-Me-Not spell along with a warming one.
''Wow…why do I help you change, you're her best friend not me I don't know her like that''
''And you think I do? I can't see her like this, I'm not like that you're the gay one!'' Sweeny gave him a stink eye and mumbled under his breath 'why did it have to be me' He opened the trunk revealing folded up dresses and shoes. Severus guessed Ophelia's mother usually didn't let her daughter wear pants or shirts, it wasn't a wonder why the girl rarely ever wore the skirts given to girls as the uniform. Severus took out a warm looking cotton dress with fresh spring colors and a rounded collar ,the end of the dress that reached past Severus's, or Ophelia's, knees where trimmed with gold. It has a noble simplicity to it. He took out a pair of red panties making Severus a brow as Sweeny snickered.
''Ay don't forget the bra!'' Sweeny laughed harder.
''Turn around you bastard!'' Severus snapped and pushed Sweeny with his hand, once Sweeny was facing the tree Snape went on and disposed of his robes. He began to unbuckle his belt and undid all his buttons from his dress shirt; letting it slip off his shoulders. He tried not to focus or touch Ophelia's body but he couldn't help but feel so warm and soft, He had always seen her as someone so strong and harsh but it wasn't the truth. She was a delicate person yet nobody saw her like that. He quickly dismissed the thoughts from his head and hurried to take off his under clothes, careful not to touch something that wasn't his. He had a bit of a fight with the bra and instead slipped it off feeling 'his' breasts relax from the pressure. Severus began to change into Ophelia's clothes.
''Help me zip up the dress you nincompoop'' Severus called Sweeny over.
''See I didn't have to do anything that involved looking at a girl's body! Also did you call me a nincompoop?'' Sweeny raised a brow but Snape just rolled his eyes.
''Yes now hurry up before it gets dark'' Sweeny nodded and helped Severus zip up the dress. He reached inside and tried to find a jacket but decided to keep the one he had, he took out socks that went up to his knees and a pair of black light brown boots.
''What do you think?'' Severus turned to look at Sweeny who clapped. ''Good now go hide in the tree, I'll cast a warming charm on it so you won't get cold'' With the swiftest movements, Severus had everything packed up and ready, he cast the spell and said goodbye to Sweeny. He took in a deep breath and trudged towards the set of cottages and mansions in the distance.
