AUTHOR NOTE:
This one we see the results of a prank the Weasley twins played. A nice light hearted outing with some fun results for Harry at the end.
Alaskan-Dracolych: Yep it would be a good day for fishing if those darn sheep would stop running amuck..hu-hunh :-)
Dennisud, Officerdonnz: Thank you. I had gone to a family reunion recently and wondered looking around the table what would happen. Not that anyone in my family is that bad or annoying that our own future grandchildren would come back and try to kill us but some of the thoughts you get on the third plate of baked beans and ham. (We have some great cooks in the family.)
n0wa5t3r: Blast from the Future was funny to write. I love time travel shows starting with the Time Tunnel from when I was a kid to Quantum leap and Timeless as well as of course the Doctor.

Harry woke up like normal four days into his fifth year at Hogwarts. He sighed as he woke up to the knowledge that so far this year was panning out to be worse than any others so far, and considering how he had almost died in a gladiatorial tournament, fought a 60 foot basilisk, had a professor turn into a werewolf, Dementors try to kill him, gone on trial and had the most evil dark lord in several centuries trying to kill him that was saying a lot.
He slipped on his glasses noting that he had overslept, even Ron had managed to beat him out the dorm this time. Getting dressed he went downstairs only to freeze at the bottom step as she saw lavender talking to Parvati in the corner. Only thing was Lavender was wearing nothing but a bright red pair of lacy knickers and a matching bra, Parvati had nothing on at all. He turned his head to the side to see Ginny and Hermione standing there staring at him. Ginny wearing a light blue pair of bikini cut knickers and nothing else while Hermione had on sensible white underwear.
"Harry you okay you look like you got hit by a confundus." Ginny chuckled but in concern.
"Yeah Harry. Is something wrong?"
"Uh why is everyone in their underwear?"
He noticed Fred and George approaching. They were wearing bright yellow polka dotted boxers with a smiley face over the groin.
"Harry everyone is not in their underwear. It's Saturday so we're in our casual clothes but not that casual." Hermione declared. Ginny began to look at the twins as they came closer with a wary expression.
"Really? I mean you're wearing a nice sensible white bra and knickers but Ginny well her knickers are light blue and not much there."
Hermione raised her eyebrow then noticed Harry was at least trying very hard to make eye contact. The blush that spread over Ginny's face briefly confirmed that Harry's description of her choice of underwear was accurate.
"Well since I doubt you have somehow developed magical underwear detecting abilities that means there must be a charm or something on you." She said pulling her wand out, before she could cast anything the twins stepped up.
"Actually we can help
"Identify the cause of
"Harry's enhanced vision."
Lowering her wand she gazed at them with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh well we saw how depressed and worried Harry has been,
"And we got the idea from a muggle comic book.
"So we snuck into his dorm and put a time decayed charm that will fade in 24 hours
"But during that time he can see everyone in their underwear."
"Really you two? Great."
Hermioen snorted, "Fine Are you going to remove it or shall I?"
"Well you see its still an experimental one
"And it has a nasty tendency to explosively decouple the
"Magical energies,
"Exploding the object its cast on."
Fred used his hands to mime an explosion while George went BaWoosh.
Harry pulled his glasses off and held them at arms length. Hermione immediately started hissing at the twins about how that was a violation of privacy and highly improper and indecent. They were apologizing and saying it was just a joke and meant to be funny.
Ginny sidled over to Harry while the three argued. "You can put your glasses on Harry. You already saw my nips didn't you?"
"Uh yeah sorry."
"Oh don't be. They're just nipples. You can look I don't mind."
"Yeah but some of the others if they found out might be a bit upset. Plus uh well there are some people I might not want to see in their underwear."
"True and some you no doubt don't mind seeing." She said with a chuckle.
"Yeah. Well I guess I'm going to be staying in the dorm all day."
"Uh what about Quidditch practice? Angelina and Ron were already wondering if you were going to be sick or something."
"Gah. Great. Okay." Harry said with a frown.
The twins retreated and Hermione came back to Harry's side. "Harry put your glasses on before you get a headache."
"I'm fine."
"Harry I know how blind you are without those things."
"Only at stuff close up."
"Which is where most of the world is. You've already seen me in my underwear so that cat is out of the bag. Put your glasses on."
Harry put his glasses on. He had noticed Hermione was wearing her pink jumper and denims before he slid the glasses on then the white underwear was all she seemed to be wearing. He made eye contact immediately.
Ginny chuckled. "I think he's going to get more eyestrain this way than he would otherwise."
"Okay Harry you don't have a spare pair of them do you?"
"No I don't."
"Well Fred and George are getting me their notes for what they did. I said I would look and see why things are exploding."
"Oh okay."
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I've just seen more this morning than I was expecting."
"I'm sure. Oh and I don't mind Harry. You'd probably see more of me on a beach than looking at me in my underwear." Hermione said with a smile.
"Yeah well still Lavender and Parvati I saw plenty."
"Oh. Yeah." Hermione said with a nod.
"Oh why?" Ginny said shaking side to side slightly.
"Ok now that's not fair teasing like that." Harry frowned.
"I swear you're the only guy complaining about seeing girls in their underwear Harry." Hermione huffed.
"Or less." Ginny said coyly which caused Hermione to look at Ginny's chest then raise her eyebrow.
"Yep nothing between me and my shirt but skin."
"Nice. No wonder Harry looks like his eyes are about to implode."
"I wish they would hurry up." Harry groaned.
"I'll be right back. I'll go get the gits." Ginny said heading up the boy's stairs.
"Well now that its you and I Harry. Seeing me in my underwear isn't that bad is it?"
"No it was just a shock and I feel bad that I didn't have permission you know."
"Well that just shows you're a nice guy. One of the reasons I lo, like you." She cleared her throat with a blush.
"Lo? Lo?" Harry said with a grin.
"Love okay. I think I've been getting feelings for you."
"Oh well that's nice. I'd like that. I think I have feelings for you too."
"So. Uh wanna be my boyfriend?"
"Sure."
"Well then you can look all you want. Only I get to reciprocate at some point."
"I think that can be arranged." He said leaning in to give her a kiss,meeting her halfway.
"Well leave you
"Two alone
"And we need to get the bucket." They said making gagging noises but grinning.
"Fine you two. Let me see those notes." She held her hand out as they put a sheaf of parchment in it.
"So who won the betting pool?" Ginny asked with a snort.
Pulling a slender black book out of his pocket George looked through until he started laughing.
"You had a betting pool on if Harry and I would start dating?"
"Yep. And believe it or not Professor Flitwick got it."
"Well that's nice." Ginny said.
Harry smiled at her, "Sorry. I still like you and uh. I'll stop looking now." He noticed that she had stopped along the way to shed the knickers.
"No its okay if Hermione doesn't mind."
Hermione waved her hand in a dismissive or permissive manner. Distracted by the notes frowning and muttering to herself. Everyone took a seat waiting.
"So you guys aren't angry that I can see you sister's, uh in her underwear?"
"If she was wearing any. Doesn't matter to us. If she didn't want you looking you'd be blind by now."
"Well I have to say you guys are better than Ron at this. He would be screaming bloody murder."
"Yeah and I'd be hexing him into the middle of next year." Ginny growled.
"Okay I see where you made you mistake. Right here at the Loobenfeld Decay Rate constant you put too much of an X variable coefficient in the thaumic output curve."
"Hermione we love you too. SO you can fix Harry's glasses."
She sighed with a frown, "No once its cast there isn't much that can be done. I might be able to accelerate the run time but a slight bit but that would increase the power of the permeability factor."
"Meaning what Hermione?" Harry asked in frustration.
"Meaning that if I accelerate the burn off of the energy to the point it'll last 12 hours you'll see everyone naked, if I do it to the point where it lasts 6 hours you'll see everyone's skeletons walking around."
"Oh that's not going to help." Harry's look of horror spoke volumes.
"Well that's the best I can do." She shrugged, "Sorry once its cast the variables are not easily modified."
"Great so what am I supposed to do?"
"Well you can go about your day,
"Don't forget to take notes about what you see." Fred and George said with intense grins.
"Fine Ginny keeps herself neatly trimmed and has nice pert nipples with about Galleon sized circles around them and you're not stopping me." Harry said as Fred and George shrugged.
"Eh we've seen all that. She goes starkers down at the pond with Luna swimming when mom's not around."
"Besides she's our sister. We may be pure-bloods but we're not
"THOSE kinds of pure-bloods,
"She does absolutely nothing for us." The brothers intoned.
"Hermione?"
She shrugged, "Well morally this is the equivalent of being a peeping tom.
"Hey wait. I had an idea." Fred said with a huge grin.
"What sort of idea?" Harry asked cautiously.
"Make it where Harry can choose. Put a slider on the leg of the glasses so that he can go from underwear to naked to skeletons."
Ginny made a face, "Eww do you realize how creepy that would be to see nothing but skeletons walking around."
"Yeah but at least I wouldn't see anything I shouldn't"
"I can do that." Hermione said snatching Harry's glasses off his face.
"Hey."
She poked them several times along the right leg before handing them back.
"If you are in one of the other modes all you have to do is touch by the ear and they'll go back to the underwear setting. Okay? Now touch them about half way along. While looking at me."
Harry did so and saw a stark naked Hermione sitting there. The sharp intake of breath he made caused her to laugh.
"Okay judging by your facial expression I'll take it that it worked?"
Harry was not sure he could speak so he simply nodded.
"Okay touch up by the hinge."
He did and the image wavered for a moment then he was looking at a skeleton sitting across from him. He turned to find a smaller one with two very tall ones standing behind it. "Okay this is going to wind up in my future therapists paperwork."
"So you see our skeletons?"
"Yeah."
"This isn't going to give you nightmares?" Ginny's voice asked in concern.
Harry shook his head, "No more than usual."
======xxx—xxx====
Harry went about the rest of the day with it in skeleton mode. It was a rather strange and surreal experience seeing all the skeletons walking around. Especially as for the most part everyone looked essentially the same. Hagrid of course was obvious as was Professor Flitwick. He was starting to figure out the difference between girls and boys somewhat due to pelvic bone structure according to Hermione who tried to look through his glasses briefly before handing them back saying his eyesight was quite horrible.
At lunch he was looking and saw a smaller skeleton floating inside the abdomen of another skeleton.
"Hermione what does it mean when there is a smaller skeleton inside a bigger skeleton."
"Oh which one?"
"That one there at the head of the Hufflepuff table that just sat down?"
"Oh she must be about four months pregnant. I don't know her name."
"Oh that's what that means. Okay."
=====xxx-xxx===
By the end of the day he had snuck a peak at dinner in underwear mode at least. Which there was a slender blonde sitting at Ravenclaw that in underwear mode was pointless as she was just as bare as Ginny. Several guys who went commando that Harry did not want to see. He avoided looking at the head table as he did not want to loose his appetite.
Going to bed that night he left it at the skeleton setting to speed it up.
====xxx-xxx====
The next morning he gingerly put on his glasses as he heard the other boys. He saw them all clothed and sighed in relief.
Going down the stairs he was smiling looking around at the other clothed students when a stark naked Hermione and Ginny came walking up. His mouth dropped open and he pulled his glasses off to see they were both fully clothed.
Hermione took his glasses and slid them back on his face. "Hi Harry. I slipped into your dorm last night and made some improvements on their spell idea. Don't worry Ginny and I are the only one's you'll see like this."
"Uh yeah but both of you?"
With each of them taking an arm they headed for the portrait hole, "Well you see its like this..."
Fred turned to George with a shrug as the three of them left the room, "You know dear brother I think we may have created a monster."
"Well at least he'll stop brooding now."
"Should we check the book for which one gets to take his virginity?"
"Indeed."
