Author Note: Expanded form the Shrinking of Hermione in R's Ramblings.

Begin Story

Hermione woke up on her back. She had no idea where she was as there sounded like a horrific thunderstorm was going on over the cloth tarp she was under. She frowned as she realized she was naked but would deal with that later. She had been in the middle of the battle and had to find out what was going on.

Crawling under the giant tarp she managed to reach an opening and climbed through it. She froze when she saw where she was. She was still in the great hall but it was miles across now. Filled with running and dodging giants as she watched.

Realizing that the hall had not grown but she had shrunk she apparated to the edge of the room. Hiding in a small crack in the wall that smelled too much of mouse she tried to think about what happened. She had managed to dodge and parry spells but something hit her in the back, several somethings maybe. It was sort of fuzzy. Sitting and watching she hoped her friends would be alright.

Eventually the battle seemed to be over as a thunderous cheer went up that actually made her clap her hands over her ears as it hurt too much. People began to look around in excitement for people. She saw Luna moving through the crowds slowly and apparated to the girl's shoulder.

Luna turned her head suddenly as she felt something land on her shoulder. She was about to brush it away when she recognized a small version of Hermione. She barely heard the small voice saying help me. Raising her hand to gently grasp the small girl she nodded as she looked for a safe place to put her. Not finding one she decided to slide Hermione into her brassiere.

Hermione found herself tucked into a cup alongside one of Luna's small breasts. She thought that there were worse ways to travel she supposed. She could feel Luna's heart beating like a distant drum as they moved.

…...

"Harry. I found Hermione." Luna said carrying Hermione's wand and clothes.

"Where?" Ron demanded, "Where is she. Someone said she got hit by a spell from Voldemort himself.

"Please lower your voice Ron. It might hurt her." Luna said quietly but firmly.

"Hurt her? How would Ron's shouting hurt her?" Harry asked in a tired voice.

Luna began to unbutton her blouse causing Ron to go, "Luna thanks for the offer but I want to find Hermione."
"I am showing you where she is." Luna said opening her blouse to show the upper part of Hermione sticking out of her cup. Hermione smiled and waved to the boys and was saying something but her voice did not carry far enough.

"Bloody ell! Is that her for real?" Ron exclaimed loudly causing Hermione to put her hands over her ears and wince.

"Yes it is her. She was apparently shrunken to this size. Otherwise she seems unharmed."

Ron laughed, "Well all we have to do is wait for it to wear off and she'll be good as new then."

"It has already been several hours Ron. Depending on when she got hit and who cast it she might be like this for some time." Luna pointed out.

Harry nodded, "Right. We should still take her to Madam Pomfrey to get checked out."

Luna nodded her agreement before beginning to button her shirt back. Hermione kicked and slapped her breast causing her to stop. Nodding Luna left her shirt open as they began to walk to the hospital wing.

"Good thing you was wearing a bra today." Ron observed.

"Yes. Especially as my trousers have no pockets and I would have had no other place to carry her." Luna sighed carefully.

…...

Hermione had been placed on a padded table in Madam Pomfrey's office. She was examined by the matron, then Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonnegal had come and examined her. All three of them had no idea what had happened but had grim expressions when they stepped to talk to her friends who hovered nearby.

"So is Hermione going to be okay?" Ron asked quickly.

"She is healthy and does not appear to be having difficulty breathing or other issues, aside from sounds being very painful due to the pressure on her." The matron said.

"Yeah but I mean when will she be back to normal."
The three adults looked at each other before Professor McGonnegal said, "We don't know. Do to all of the things that have happened to her over her life it seems like her pattern is disrupted. It could be any minute or it could be hours from now. Perhaps days."

"Or never." Harry flatly said.

Professor McGonnegal looked sadly at them as she nodded, "That is true. Magic is not as precise or definite as science. There is still a lot of unknown, the same spell cast by two different practitioners may cause similar results but still be different."

"So how will we communicate with her?"

"I believe there is a way that her mind may be linked to another's. It would be only one person though as too many would overwhelm her thought process." The charms professor stated.

"Someone needs to talk to her. She seems so worried and concerned." Luna said.

"Well how can we do that? I can't hear her voice."

"I could hear her when she was on my shoulder." Luna explained.

"We could shrink someone to talk to her." Harry suggested.

"Using a shrinking potion?" Luna asked, "That would work temporarily but you would have to be far enough away when it wore off to avoid crushing her when you grew."

"What if I took another one?" Harry asked.
"They are not cumulative but additive. If you took another one before the previous one wore off you would shrink again from that size." Luna explained.

"Oh. Well still someone should go talk to her face to face." Harry said with a weak smile.

Ron gulped and clapped him on the shoulder, "You go ahead and do so. I don't think I want to be that small."

"Whatever happened to her is no doubt not contagious Mr Weasley." Minerva scowled at him

"Right but uh. Why take chances eh?" Ron said looking awkwardly around.

"Just give me one of the potions and I'll go talk to her." Harry said scowling at Ron.

The matron nodded and led Harry into the room shutting the door gently behind them.

Whispering she said, "Now your clothes will not change with you. So you will be naked."
Harry blushed but nodded whispered back, "I think we'll be okay."
"Yes well I want to caution you that we have no idea what would happen if you should impregnate her. If the baby would remain shrunken within her or if it would be normal sized which would kill her in a matter of days." The matron said.

Harry looked horrified before nodding, "I understand. I doubt sex will be on either of our minds right now."
The matron gave a wan smile, "You would be amazed at what two naked teens have been able to overcome in the pursuit of ardor."

Harry nodded and drank the potion once she had measured out the appropriate portion. Soon he was in a pool of his own clothes. The matron carefully picked him up and placed him on the table near Hermione.

"Oh Harry!" She exclaimed running over to him. Hugging him tightly he understood what the matron meant as her naked body pressing against his was certainly making his thoughts and something else hard.

"Hermione. Uh. Hermione!" He exclaimed after hugging her back. "Uh. Breathing."
"Oh sorry Harry." She said stepping back. "I was just so worried and its insane not being able to communicate with anyone. Have they figured out what happened? How much longer will I be like this?" She exclaimed in a rush.

Harry laughed happy to see that she seemed normal, "Okay. Uh. Let's try and answer this one at a time. We still don't know what happened. It seems like you got hit by one or more spells that they think scrambled your pattern somehow. So they don't know exactly how it happened."

She looked at him seriously, "Okay but they do know how much longer I'm going to be like this. Right harry?"

Harry looked awkwardly around the room. Everything seemed so much larger and further away. The matron had left the room but had not shut the door so distant conversations and noises sounded like thunder in the distance. Rumbling and muted.

"Harry? Please tell me the truth."

Taking a deep breath, "They don't know. It could be in minutes or it could be in hours or days, or maybe. Maybe never."

She gasped trembling she said, "That's why you're here isn't it? Ron won't want to wait to see if I grow back to normal will he?"

Harry tried to say something to deny that but in his heart he knew it was true. Finally he slumped in dejection as she scowled. "I'm sorry Hermione."
"Do they have any idea what they will do with me?"

Harry shook his head. "I don't know. We'll figure something out. I won't abandon you. You've meant too much to me. Helped me too much to do that." He smiled at her.

Hermione smiled back, "But if I never go back to normal what kind of relationship will that be? I couldn't be a good girlfriend. I mean how tall am I?"

"They said you're three inches tall."
Looking between his legs she smiled, "When you're full size I won't even be as tall as your dick harry."

Harry blushed, "I could take a shrinking potion."
"That's not a permanent solution. And I still couldn't carry your child I bet."

"The matron isn't sure."

"I'm not sure I want to try if they don't know what would happen."

"I know. I wouldn't want to either." Harry said.

Hermione sighed as she sat on the blanket. Harry came and sat beside her.

"We'll try and figure this out Hermione. I'm sure it won't be forever."

"I know. I'm just upset with everything right now." She said and began to cry. Harry held her until she fell asleep. He felt the first surges of the potion wearing off so ran until he was far enough that when he returned to full size he did not disturb her.

Luna was sitting in a chair beside his clothes when he went to get dressed. She opened her eyes seeing his naked form she smiled then said in her calm voice, "Ron and Ginny went to join the celebrations."

"Oh. Figures." Harry grunted as he dressed.

"How is she?"

"Considering she cried herself to sleep she's about how you would expect." Harry said with a sigh.

"I will help you take care of her." Luna promised.

"Thanks Luna. I appreciate that."

…...

Over the next several weeks they worked to get clothes for Hermione, a small dollhouse sized apartment set up in the house they bought in Hogsmeade as Harry would need to renovate Grimmould Place to make it habitable, and the Rookery was going to need to be rebuilt. He and Hermione had the mental link established by Professor Flitwick so they could communicate even when Harry was full size. Hermione could communicate with Luna by apparating to her shoulder and using a sonorus to be heard or tapping her in morse code.

Harry learned how to brew and determine the dosage so he and Luna could shrink to Hermione's size to talk. Hermione could eat crumbs of food and somehow when she tried to drink magic shrunk the liquid down so she could put it in her mouth without surface tension being a problem. She could even swim and bathe in water. However engorgio or growth potions had no effect on her. Swelling solution did nothing to make her any larger either. Other spells and potions though still worked on her. Even if the dosage was with an eyedropper.

The other bad thing they discovered was that using shrinking potions too frequently caused extreme pain and discomfort for Harry as he tried to use them back to back to remain her size to comfort her as Ron had spent the celebrations with Hannah Abbott while Ginny had latched onto Neville.

"Harry are you okay?"

"Yeah just I need to take a longer cool down between potions Poppy said."

"I could have told you that." Hermione said with a smile. "But I appreciate what you've done Harry."

"You'd do the same if it was me." He said with a shrug.

"Maybe but you're the hero everyone wants. Luna told me that Shacklebolt has been going crazy over how little time you've been spending being the public hero."

"I don't feel right without you there." He said.

"What about Ron?"

"He can be the hero for both of us." Harry scowled.

She took a deep breath. "Because he's engaged to Hannah now?"

Harry nodded. They had begun to shrink a copy of the Prophet, and several other newspapers she asked for, so she was up to date on the news. She had almost as well stocked of a library as the main house.

"Well I hope he's happy. She'll make him a good wife."

Harry nodded, "She will."
"I was talking to Luna the last time she was here." Hermione said. "We've agreed that we should share you."

Harry looked at Hermione in shock, "Share me?"

"Well I can only be physical with you when you're shrunk to my size, which you are going to explode or break something if you keep doing it more than once or twice a week, at maximum." She said firmly pointing at him, "And that will give us a date night. We can sit and play games or play around since we've discovered that anything that doesn't try to change my size will still work on me."

"Right okay." harry said dumbfounded. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. Its not like you can carry me around and when you're full sized even kissing would be impossible."

Harry sighed, "I guess. But I still want to spend time with you."
"And you will Harry, I love the time we spend together but Luna can be there with you for the rest of the times that I can't. She can go out in public with you and, well." She paused to take a deep breath, "Well you can have children with her."

Harry glumly considered the tone of voice Hermione used. "You've given up believing we can get you back to normal size."
"Harry they've tried everything except putting me on the rack to make me bigger. I just can't grow."

"I know. Right now. Luna's working on trying to find something in her notes, her mother's notes, her father's notes. We even have Dumbledore's collection we're going through. We'll find something."

"Until you do this is the life we'll have to live Harry. Nothing can change that. Just promise me you'll love Luna as much as you love me?"

Harry sighed feeling a wince as he needed to return to the living room floor as the shrinking potion wore off. "I promise."

…..

Harry was sitting on the couch watching a movie with Hermione. They had built her an entire network of tunnels and rooms throughout Grimmould so she could apparate to any room. Sound amplifiers and dampeners allowed her to have a slightly normal conversation with people from any of her balconies.

Luna had moved in with them and at Hermione's urging became Harry's girlfriend as well causing Harry to angst until he got comfortable with the arrangement.

Ron had married Hannah and was expecting their first child in a few months. Neville had broken up with Ginny and begun to date Susan Bones. Ginny was on the latest boy toy in a long string of rebound dates. Although Hermione observed that by the fourth boyfriend it was no longer rebound but oscillation. Making a science joke that had everyone looking at her while she laughed.

She was sitting on his shoulder cuddled against his neck. Feeling the warm pulse of his blood rushing through his veins as she smiled. She could tell that the movie was making Harry bored on this Saturday afternoon as his pulse slowed and his breathing became soft and regular.

Smiling naughtily she got a wicked idea and crawled down his shirt, pausing at one of his nipples that was the size of a cantaloupe to her hands as she played with it a little bit. Moving further south she wriggled under his elastic waistband into his boxers.

The musky aroma filled her nose but was not too unpleasant she thought. One thing she did like about Harry was he kept himself meticulously clean, and smelling nice. The one time Ron had come to visit them his cologne had been like a cloud of poison gas causing her to retreat to another part of her house within the house.

Crawling through his pubic hair was like moving through a waist high shag carpet Hermione thought as she reached her goal. Laughing to herself that this would be the ultimate pleasure for someone with a size fetish she kissed the base of the massive tree and started rubbing with her small hands. She had to admit she was bored and feeling naughty as well as a little bit curious to see if she even could do anything with her boyfriend at her size.

The stimulus was doing something it seemed like as she felt it growing warmer and stiffer. She would have to make notes and wondered if there was a paper she could publish in the Society for Wizarding Research on this.

"Hermione?" She heard harry ask over their link.

"Down here." She sent back over their link. "I was trying to play around only the size difference is a bit much."

"Oh." Harry said as she felt him shift slightly. The sudden rush of fresh air as he took the athletic pants down and boxers down enough to expose himself and her made her briefly light headed.

"I hope you don't mind." She said looking up the great distance to his worried face.

"No. I guess not as long as you don't get hurt." he said with a bit of worry.

"I know Harry. My mass went away too so I'm not as durable. Don't worry." She replied looking at the tree trunk she was leaning against. She had been correct as it was tall enough she could only touch the tip by standing on her tiptoes and stretching with her hand.

"That feels, different." he said with a mental chuckle.

"Good different or bad different?"

She laughed then sliding her own pajama bottoms off laid down in his thick shrubbery. She had a flashback to the one summer riding large barrel chested horses when she wrapped her legs around his shaft. "Let me try something."

"Okay." Harry said uncertainly.

She began to slid her womanhood along the base, it felt stimulating for her but she wasn't sure Harry was enjoying himself. "Harry go ahead and stroke yourself. I want you to enjoy this too."

Harry took his hand and careful not to hit Hermione as she worked herself over brought himself to climax shooting large gouts of cum onto his stomach and pubes. Hermione got coated in the white warm liquid as she began to shudder herself.

Laughing at the way she no doubt looked she felt herself levitating as a cleaning charm was applied to her. She was handed her bottoms as Harry cleaned himself up. "Satisfied?"

"Well yeah. At least a little bit. I may have to play with Luna and see if that's any different." She replied with a laugh, although if you and I do this again I may need to wear a wetsuit."

Harry rolled his eyes but laughed. "Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm up to date with my potions. So no pregnancy risk from giant spermies." she bent over laughing.

"Okay." shook his head at how she was finding ways to amuse herself.

…..

A few days later Harry came home from a meeting with Shacklebolt about one political thing or another. He had begun to be Hermione's feet as he pushed one goal or another. Causes the three of them agreed needed to be pushed.

Luna was laying on the couch with her hands behind her head, eyes half closed and panting rapidly. Harry recognized that expression from their nights together making love, looking at the blonde lover's groin he saw movement occurring under her dress and figured out where Hermione was. Waiting for the two of them to finish he quietly sat and watched.

"Hello Harry." Luna said dreamily, "Hermione wanted to test a theory of hers. I didn't mind."

The movement under Luna's dress crawled higher until Hermione popped out of the valley between Luna's breasts. "Hi Harry. How'd it go today?"

"Pretty good. You two look like you had fun?"

"Yeah. I have to say this is a totally different experience. You ought to try it next time you shrink with me Harry."

"That could give a different three some experience." Harry laughed at the way his life had become very surreal. Explaining Hermione's suggestion to Luna who looked like she was considering it.

…...

"Luna and I are considering having a baby." Harry said on the third anniversary of their moving in together. He was shrunken and in Hermione's living room.

"That's great Harry. What brought that on?"

"Luna ran into Hannah and Susan the other day and Hannah's pregnant with their second and Susan was nursing Templeton. I guess it got her maternal emotions up and now she wants to have a baby."

"How do you feel about it Harry?"

"I guess I'm excited." He said with an amazed expression.

"Only you wish it could be me?"

Harry nodded, "Yeah. I've had a few dreams about what our kids would be like. About you and I sending them off to Hogwarts."
"Well we know items that I ingest shrink and the things I expel don't increase in size but none of that is a person so we don't know what it would do to me." She patiently said.

"I know. And even if it didn't kill you what would happen to the baby. Would we be able to grow it to full size." Harry sighed. "I hate not knowing what to do."

"I know. Believe me Harry I know."

…...

Hermione would apparate to the dinner table and eat off of Harry or Luna's plates. Sharing their food as a few bites from her was not even noticeable. She fell in the soup one time and wound up swimming around as Harry tried to scoop her out with his spoon before giving up and eating his soup around her.

Luna gestated for the appropriate time and gave birth to a girl they named Ruby Jean. Hermione looking from her balcony as Luna held or nursed the baby. Sometimes rubbing her own belly absently with a bit of sadness.

…...

Harry reached for his tea only to stop and sigh as Hermione was sitting in it. Ever since she had moved in with him after being shrunk to three inches tall in the final battle she would do odd little things like that on occasion. He blamed boredom for it.

"Problem Harry?" She said over the mental link they had established since her voice was far too small to be heard unless she was standing right outside his ear. He used it as well since his voice would cause her pain sometimes.

"No. Just wondering why you were in my tea again."

"Just wanting to sweeten it up dear." She said with a laugh.

He chuckled, "Okay. Enjoy yourself." His phone buzzed with a message.

Reading it he began to smile.

"Good news?" she asked seeing his expression.

"Luna thinks she has finally figured a way to make you big again." He said happily.

"Oh. Is that all." She shrugged. They had tried multiple ways to make her big or Harry small enough to have a normal relationship to no avail. They had adjusted their world to remain together in an odd sort of life.

"She says it has something to do with the inverse cubic quantum derivation of the cosmic matrix intersection of your reality perspective." he said reading carefully.

Climbing out of the tea cup Hermione cast a drying and cleaning charm then raised her hands for Harry to put her in his traveling pocket on his shirt. "Okay. Once more into the breach."

Sliding her into the reinforced and padded pocket that she traveled with him in they went to visit Luna. Harry desperate with hope and Hermione resigned to being the little woman.

...

Harry smiled at Luna as they arrived in her lab. She was the lead researcher at the Granger Institute, a lab Harry had backed with his finances and named after Hermione so she would have something to do with the world outside. Her mind still exploring and without as many distractions still coming up with amazing magical inventions. A communication mirror in her dollhouse let her communicate like normal with Luna who was the on site manager.

Luna said, "Do you have Hermione?"

They had placed the same auditory spells and charms onto a necklace Hermione was able to wear so she could talk from harry's pocket.

"Yes I'm here Luna."
"Oh good. I figured out what was going on."
"Really?"

"Yes your mass has been shunted off into a subspace energy drain. Whenever we tried to grow you it just went into this pocket hole and did nothing for you."
"So how do you reverse this?" She asked.

"Well we have to pull some of the mass from the pocket then close it so you remain at your normal size. Only it may be a little difficult to balance the mass flow so you might experience some rapid uncontrolled size changes until we get it figured out."
"Well I guess it would be better to be bigger than smaller. So let's do it." She said.

Harry carried Hermione into a large empty room with high ceilings. A strange set of copper and silver rings were laid out on the floor with another set on the ceiling above. Placing Hermione in the middle of the rings he retreated back to the control booth.

"Are you okay Hermione?" He asked over the link.

"Yeah. It seems so wierd here."

"I know." he said reassuringly. Turnign to Luna he nodded.

She touched the keyboard with normal letters, runes and some glowing gems on it before flipping a switch and sliding a lever. The machine began to hum and glow before Harry heard over his link a screaming moan from Hermione as she rapidly began to grow.

He wached her swelling form pass through the size of a house elf within a second and by the time Luna had slid the lever back she was brushing the ceiling.

"Hermione are you okay?" Harry asked over the link.

"Yeah just wow. This would change our relationship dynamic just a bit."

Harry laughed, "Well you could carry me in your pocket."

"Yeah although you'd have to get a wetsuit instead of a condom." Hermione replied with a smirk.

Harry shook his head, "Easy girl. We're going to try and get you back down to somethign normal."
"Hey if you can give me a bit of curves."

"Curves? Luna wants you to clarify. Are we talking produce section curves, stripper curves or something off the charts insane."

"Produce section will suffice." Hermione replied taking a deep breath.

"Okay. Luna says she'll do her best. Wave when you're ready."
Hermione picked her giant hand up and waed gently. The sensations washed over her again as she shrunk slowly down then grew and the shrunk as Luna fiddled with the balance. Her body rippled and shifted as her breasts inflated then shrunk until they were the size of large melons. Her thighs, hips and backside had inflated until she had a balanced hourglass figure.

"This is perfect!" She shouted over the link causing Luna to lock and sever the connection to the pocket dimension that had been draining her mass for so long.

When Harry and Luna stepped out to check on her she grinned widely, throwing her arms around Harry's neck she looked him eye to eye as she squished her soft body against him, "Take me Home my love. I have a lot of catching up to do."

Luna grinned as she watched the two of them go home. Looking forward to the big changes in their lives.

Review Responses

SMB: Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Timekeeper: You are welcome sir.

OfficerDonNZ: It is entirely probable she let things slip to Harry. And it is absolutely true that brave and bold does not preclude sneaky and cunning too.
