I knew that I could not wait any longer to write to my family. I wrote to my mum that I still haven't been able to get Harry out of Slytherin, opting to leave out the part where he tells me off, choosing to state lack of opportunities to get the boy savior alone.

I wrote to Ginny separately, telling her that the loyalty charm laced candy failed. That he appears to have no desire to befriend us.

I made my way to the owlery, so lost in thought that I didn't even notice the quiet around me.

I sat in my true Magical Guardians office as he went over everything with me, starting with how Dumbledore wanted him find a cure for the Gryffindors.

"No doubt he feels embarrassed that his whole favorite house got pranked so badly. Does anyone suspect us?" I asked.

"No. Everyone suspects it was a prank gone wrong by the Weasley twins, though it's not like they are clever enough for this. However I don't feel so inclined to confess that right now. Let them suspect those troublemakers." He sneered back. "Was there a reason for the prank?"

"Besides a distraction for you to get the stone? I wanted to get back at the Weasleys."

"Oh?" He drawled. I decided that it was safe enough to tell him about my summer trip into Gringotts, and finding out about how Dumbledore and the Weasleys had stolen from me for so long. I also mentioned the fake marriage contract Dumbledore tried to set up for me, and about Weasley harassing me into becoming a Gryffindor and being his best mate. I told him about the gifts from the Weasleys that Mr. Malfoy had helped me dispose of.

"It appears that Dumbledore has big plans for you, and that the plans don't include your being in Slytherin, or being friends with my godson."

"I think that is why the stone was brought here, to act as some sort of test for me."

"I did notice that the protections were rather pathetic, the only real challenge would have been mine. There was a Cerberus, that falls asleep to music, Devil's Snare, flying keys, a giant chessboard, my potions, a troll and a mirror."

"The Cerberus would have been a problem if it wasn't for Hagrid being so loose-lipped. The Devil's Snare would be simple for any first year, unless you failed to pay attention to the first Herbology lesson. Why flying keys?"

"Enchanted keys. If this is truly a test for you, it was probably to test your flying skills. I have no doubt that, had you been in Gryffindor like everyone expected, you would have likely been made their seeker."

"Ok then... the chessboard is obvious. Dumbledore seems to want me to be best friends with Weasley, and I know that he likes chess because he wanted to teach me how to play, probably so he could bad mouth you, Draco and Slytherin in general. So he probably expected me to somehow go after the stone with the idiot."

"If it wasn't for your understanding of potions, you would have been stuck at mine. A riddle you would of had to solve in order to go on. Seven bottles, three filled with harmless wine, three with deadly poison, and the last was filled with a potion that you would of had to drink in order to get through a fire doorway into the next room."

"The troll is unusual. I have no idea about that one, other than to test my power. What about the mirror?"

"Another riddle, to test your character. You could only get to the stone if you didn't want to use it. Did you want to protect the stone so that it wouldn't fall in the wrong hands? Or use the stone yourself?"

"Why test me though? What would he have done should Voldemort have succeeded in gaining the stone. An artifact that powerful should never have entered the school."

"What are you planning to do with the Philosopher stone Harry?"

"I plan on returning it to Nicholas Flamel." I replied as the Potions Master handed me the stone. I thanked him as I hid the stone in a hidden pocket inside my robe.

I walked back to the Common Room, and told me questioning friends that I had a few questions I wanted to ask Professor Snape about the essay we were assigned. They all nodded and we got to work on our homework.

After an hour of homework I went to my room, placing several overpowered notice-me-not charms and other such wards to ensure that no one notices that I am gone. I went into my trunk home and pulled a dark green cloak and grabbed my Gringotts portkey, which would work in the trunk, even though it's in the Hogwarts ward.

I spent a few minutes explaining to Nagnok about the year so far, and handed him the stone, and a note to give the Flamels, telling them the real reason Dumbledore wanted their stone, and not to tell him that it has been returned to them.

Afterwards we talked about my finances, which has been almost fully resolved. Now that I am the only person that can access my money, the goblins have taken all of my stolen money out of Dumbledores account, and has brought back all of the Potter heirlooms that are not currently in my family vault or in the trunk. The key that Dumbledore and the Weasleys have used in now gone and so is the money taken from the Dursleys, since Dumbledore didn't have enough to compensate for all of the monthly payments to the muggles that I no longer live with.

It turns out that my money had been paying for most of the Dursleys lifestyle. However, since Dumbledore was the one to start the payments, the money is now coming from his vault, which will last a few more years, but not forever.

I already had plans to be out of Dumbledores reach by then.

I woke up this morning, hoping that yesterday was just a really bad dream. Everything started with the sticky tree sap that covered our dorm.

I was covered so much with the sticky sap that I needed a shower. In the water I had thought that things were over, but instead it got worse. I had somehow became a girl. The screams from all over the Tower told me that I wasn't the only one in this predicament.

During flying class I started having pain that felt like I had been kicked, and found out what it was like to be a girl in puberty.

Today, I woke up and focused on my body, and was dismayed at the fact that yesterday was real and that I am still a girl. Looking around at my dorm mates, I felt slightly better because they were still girls too.

I sighed mournfully as I got ready for yet another day of classes, and walked down to the Great Hall. I hoped that the professors had found a solution, but none came.

I was glad that I got a letter from home though. Mum said that while we might not be able to get him out of Slytherin, we can still bring him to our side. She had plans to talk to the Headmaster about letting Harry spend at least some of the summer with us.

I thought about that. While normally I would be against having to spend the summer with a slimy snake, I felt better since it would be Harry Potter. That would mean that I could hang out with him and tell him all about the wizarding world, since he is new, and hasn't seen a decent magical family before.

By the time the next school year starts, Harry and I will be best mates and Harry will beg Dumbledore to change houses.

Ginny sounded rather confused in her letter. She had been so sure that the chocolate frogs would work. She said that mum had used chocolate frogs laced with a mild love potion to get dads attention.

I decided to just hang back for now and hope that mum is able to convince Dumbledore to let him stay with us. The longer during the summer, the better.
