Jason ran over the rooftops. It had been a week since the hearing, and since Sirius had been sent to St. Mungo's. He clenched his hands into fists as he jumped to the next roof and rolled to his feet. He ran to the edge and looked down into the alley.
"Come on," a cloaked figure laughed as they levitated a Muggle into the air. "Let's have some fun."
Jason launched a throwing knife at the group sinking it up to the hilt into the back man's thigh, probably severing his hamstring.
The man yelled in pain and dropped the Muggle.
Jason dove down and kicked the dark Wizard in the base of the spine, breaking his tailbone and possibly paralyzing him. He spun around and kicked a hooded figure in the knee, breaking their kneecap.
The dark wizard let out a shriek of pain.
Jason spun around to stare into a wand.
"Goodbye," the remaining dark Witch said.
Jason ducked and pulled his Punch Knife, but a familiar voice called out. "'Wingardium Leviosa'!" The voice said, lifting the Dark Witch into the air. "'Perfecitus Totalus'!" the voice said. The Dark Witch went stiff as a washboard hovering in the air.
"Luna?" Jason asked.
"Whose Luna?" the voice asked. A figure stepped from the shadows to show Luna wearing Lyra's old robes, and unsurprisingly, a Groucho Marx mustache and glasses combo.
"All right?" he asked. "Who are you?"
The Dark Wizard whose leg Jason broke tried crawling away.
Jason impaled a knife into the Dark Wizard's hand. He screamed out in pain.
"You are a tad violent," Not Luna said.
"It's a necessity."
"Is it really?"
"Yes."
"Well. I suppose if it's necessary then I can forgive you."
"Thanks, I guess."
"You're Welcome. As for who I am, I am Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle."
"Princess. Lady. Moonlight. Sparkle?" Jason asked.
"That's me."
"All right." Jason Said. "What are you doing here?"
"Luna was worried and asked me to follow you and make sure you didn't get hurt."
"I see. I'll have to thank Luna the next time I see her."
Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle dipped her head in a nod. "Where to now?" she asked.
Jason looked to the horizon and saw the moon going down. He guessed that it was about three a.m. and looked back at Lu- Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle. "I've got to start heading back now. Were you going to continue or go home as well?"
"I think that I'll head home for the evening."
"Alright. Shall I escort you, or will you be, okay?"
"Truly a gentleman. You may walk me home."
They made their way back to Grimmauld place and Jason looked at Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle. "Where do you live?"
"Around. Thank you for walking me this far."
"You're Welcome. Do you need me to take you the rest of the way?"
"No. I'll be able to make it the rest of the way home myself thank you," she said before walking away. She ran for the shadows and disappeared into them before appearing in her room.
She looked in her mirror. "He never suspected a thing," she said.
"I'm afraid he did," a portrait said.
"No. I'm fairly certain my disguise was flawless."
"No dear. I was like you once. I'm glad my robes fit you, but if he's anything like my Felicia, he knows."
"How could he possibly know?"
"The heart knows."
"We aren't romantically involved."
"Not all forms of love are romantic. It could be platonic love."
"You have a point. What do you recommend to hide myself better?"
"Get a wig."
Jason crawled in through his window after another long night of hunting Dark Witches and Wizards as well as other unsavory figures. Someone, a girl, cleared her throat causing him to spin around with his hand reaching for his knife out of habit.
"Hello Jason," Hermione said. "You're Late."
"Or early," he said. "Depending on how you look at it."
"Out hunting again?" she asked, ignoring his statement.
"Yup."
"Hunting Dark Witches and Wizards again?"
"Yup."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Because you need more than one hour of sleep every night, you need to stop beating yourself up for what happened to Sirius, and you need to relax."
"Do you really think I'm only doing this because of Sirius?"
"Yes. Why? Are you not?"
"No! I'm out there every night because every one of those bastards I take out is one more Voldemort can't summon to a graveyard to Assault! Beat! Murder! Rape! WHY WOULDN'T I WANT TO STOP THAT!"
"Language! And don't raise your voice so loud! You'll wake everyone up!"
"No, I won't! I cast a silencing charm on my room last week!"
Hermione looked at him. "Show me your arms!" she demanded.
"What?!"
"SHOW ME YOUR ARMS!" She lunged at Jason.
Jason pulled his sleeves up to show his forearm sheaths. He took them off to show no marks on his arms. His fists were another thing entirely. His fists were bloodied and bruised.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Let me think," Jason snarked. "I went out and beat the ever-living shit out of Dark Witches and Wizards, and anyone else who deserved it."
"What happened to your usual methods?"
"Not as... stress relieving as you might think."
"You are too hard on yourself."
"Or maybe I'm not hard enough," he said.
"No! You need to stop this self-destructive habit of thinking you have to be strong for everyone! It's going to get you hurt, or worse..."
"Expelled?" he asked.
"No. Dead," she said. "Who told you that?"
"Ron and Harry."
"Ronald," she huffed.
"Look," Jason said. "I am sorry, but can you honestly look me in the face and tell me that I'm too hard on myself."
"You're too hard on yourself, Jason," Hermione said, looking him in the face without blinking.
"Fine," he said. "I'll stop staying out so late and get more sleep."
"Thank you."
"You're Welcome," he said.
"Anything else I should know about?"
"I found books for potions, charms, and Divination."
"You? Divination?"
"Well, I took it because it was written by my grandmother."
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah," Jason said, handing her Grandma Lyra's journal. "She predicted Voldemort's rise and fall."
Hermione blinked. "She what?"
"She predicted Moldywarts rise and fall at Harry's hands."
"No," Hermione said. "I can't believe that."
"Read her journal. Just-just be careful."
"You? Telling someone to be careful?"
"Even I have moments of sanity."
"I'm impressed."
"Don't get used to it but go on. Read the journal."
Hermione read through the journal while Jason sat on the bed, watching her.
He smiled when he saw her blush as she read the sex change potions and spells.
When she reached the end, her face scrunched up as she studied the spells.
"Well," she said, closing the book. "Your grandmother was..." She tried thinking of a word that wasn't offensive.
"A badass?"
"A rebel."
"Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then."
"I didn't say it was a bad thing."
"I wonder who the kid with red highlights is?" Jason wondered.
Hermione facepalmed. "For someone so smart you can be incredibly dense sometimes."
"What do you mean?"
Hermione sighed. "Go stand in front of the mirror."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
Jason did. How could Dick spend so much time in front of the mirror? Seriously, it was...
"Elucidat Revelio," Hermione cast.
Jason's hair glowed a blood red. "What happened?" Jason asked.
"I used the reveal highlights charm." Hermione explained. "It reveals a person's natural highlights no matter how faint."
"I see."
"There is one flaw with the charm."
"And that is?"
"It's linked to a person's emotions. So, when that person feels certain emotions, their hair glows the color of their highlights."
"So that means my hair will glow red when I feel any emotion?"
"Not any emotion. It has to be the emotions linked to your highlights. In your case, that will likely be negative passionate emotions like anger, rage, or hatred."
"I see. Can I shut it off? That's a pretty easy tell."
"Like any spell it should wear off in a few hours."
"Good. Is there a counter spell or even better? Is there an offensive purpose for the spell?"
"It's a cosmetic spell," Hermione deadpanned.
"Psychological warfare," Jason deadpanned back.
Hermione looked shocked. "You-you wouldn't use psychological warfare, would you?"
"Why do you think I wear armor, cover my face, and make my voice deeper? It taps into my opponent's fear."
"Speaking of opponents... I don't think you should be running around at night. What if someone gets lucky or you get hurt and someone takes advantage of it?"
Jason thought about it. "Looks like I need to upgrade my armor."
"That's not what I meant. I meant that you should stop going out at night."
"Yeah, right." Jason scoffed. "As if that'll happen."
"What if I commanded you to stop?"
"I'd tell you that if I can't go out then neither can Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle."
"Who?"
Meanwhile
Luna was lying in her bed when she felt something. "My Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle sense is tingling!" she said excitedly. She opened her Armoire and stepped back, she took a running start and jumped into it.
Jason's room.
Jason's armoire burst open, and a body landed on the ground.
Jason grabbed his punch knife and a pistol getting ready for a fight while Hermione grabbed her wand and aimed it at the figure.
The figure straightened, revealing a feminine figure wearing a unicorn mask.
"Luna?" Jason asked.
"Whose Luna?" the figure asked. "I am Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle."
"Oh. Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh. My Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle senses were tingling, so I came."
"I see."
"What do you need?" Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle asked.
"Luna?" Hermione blinked owlishly.
Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle looked at her.
"Please take that mask off," Hermione requested.
"You wish me to reveal my secret identity?"
"We know it's you Luna."
"Who's Luna?"
Hermione grit her teeth trying not to laugh. "Luna?"
Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle walked toward Hermione. She looked at Hermione as if looking into her soul. "You need an Anti-Nargles Charm." She said before walking away and towards the window. She stopped by Jason and turned slightly. "Nice Anti-Nargles charm." She said before jumping out the window.
"Well, that happened," Jason said.
"She can be impossible sometimes," Hermione huffed and crossed her arms.
"So can you," Jason said.
"Don't you start. You're just as bad if not worse than her sometimes."
"Then get out of here so I can get some sleep."
"Are you going to go back out again tonight?"
"Most likely."
"Then give me your gear so I can enchant it. I'll feel a little better if I know that you have safeguards on your gear so it can't be taken and used against you."
Jason pulled his robes and boots off and handed them to Hermione.
Hermione took them and placed them on his bed. "Cogitare, Deflectere, Densitas amplificatio, Occultare, concussa." She cast.
Jason looked at his robe and boots. "Okay. So, you cast a reflecting spell, a deflecting spell, a hardening spell, a concealing spell, and a shock spell?"
"Yes. Consider it my birthday gift."
"Wait. What is today?"
"August 16th."
Jason sighed. "You guys planned a birthday party, didn't you?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"You are a terrible liar."
"I am not," Hermione said. "I just don't think that you should tell lies, that's all."
"Someday you're going to need to be able to lie your ass off."
"Must you be so vulgar?"
"No, but yes."
"UGH!"
"Were you sent here to keep me distracted?"
"Um... no."
"Liar. Now get out so I can sleep."
"Okay," Hermione said, leaving Jason's room.
Jason laid down on his bed and drifted off to sleep.
"Tell me what I want to know Mr. Todd," Delores Umbitch said. "Otherwise, your friends will pay the price." She held her wand out towards a figure in a chair.
"Don't tell her anything!" his friends' voices called out of the darkness. "Don't let her break you!"
"Crucio!" Umbitch yelled.
Jason could hear his friends crying out in pain. "Stop," he said
Umbitch kept using the Cruciatis curse on them.
"STOP!" he said louder.
Umbitch laughed.
"I SAID STOP!" he shouted, grabbing the chair restraining him. "Bombarda!" he cast, shattering the chair.
Umbitch turned to look at him and he grabbed her face before slamming it into the wall.
"BOMBARDA!" he roared.
Jason jumped up. He was panting and cold sweat dripped from his chin. "What the hell?" he said.
"Ya okay lad?" a voice asked.
Jason looked around and saw the picture of the old man. He didn't know who the old man was, but he wasn't a bad guy. "Nightmare," he said. "Really vivid nightmare."
"It could be divination," the portrait said. "Yer grandmother was a seer. Maybe ye have th' gift too?"
"That would mean that I actually believe in divination," Jason said, getting up.
"Ye don't believe in divination? After what Yer grandmother wrote?"
"Not particularly."
"Well, ya should. Yer mother was a great Seer, and I think tha' ye have a strong affinity fer it as well."
"Maybe, but if I am a seer. I'm going to break the futures I see."
"How so, lad?"
"Delores Umbridge has to die."
Molly was in the kitchen working on a big birthday meal for Jason. After suffering so much, he deserved so much better.
"Hi, Mrs. Weasley," Hermione said coming into the kitchen.
"Good morning, dear. Is Jason up?"
"No. He's sleeping."
"Strange. Usually, he's up earlier than this."
"I should say that he just went to bed."
"Oh. He was out all night again?"
"Yes."
"Maybe Parvati can talk to him. She always seems to know what to say to get him to listen to reason."
"I'll ask her when she gets here."
"Is there something else, dear?"
"I just have this feeling in my stomach that is making me feel... on edge."
"Always trust your gut dear," Mrs. Weasley said a little wistfully.
"All right," Hermione said.
"What's for breakfast?" Ron yawned, shuffling into the kitchen, scratching under the muscle shirt he wore to bed.
"It's on the stove, Ron," Molly said with her hands full at the moment.
"Why the big feast? Is it someone's Birthday or something?"
"It's Jason's Birthday, Ronald." Hermione said exasperatedly.
"Oh," Ron said. "Oh! Did I get him a Birthday gift?" he asked. "Yeah. Yeah, I did."
"Hurry up and eat, Ron. Then get ready for the day."
"Okay," Ron said, eating.
"Use a napkin, Ron!" Hermione chastised.
"Okay fine," Ron said around a mouthful of food.
"Don't talk with a full mouth," Hermione and Mrs. Weasley said in unison.
Harry walked into the kitchen with his wild hair going everywhere.
"Good morning, Harry," Hermione said.
"Good morning, Harry dear," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Morning, mate," Ron said.
"Good morning," Harry replied. "Do you need help Mrs. Weasley?"
"Oh, no dear. Thank you though. Just get some breakfast."
Harry grabbed a bowl of porridge and some bacon and sausage before sitting down.
Luna walked into the kitchen. "Good morning, everyone," she said.
"Good morning, dear," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Morning, Luna," Harry and Ron said.
"Good morning, Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle," Hermione said.
"Who?" Luna asked. "Who is Princess Lady Moonlight Sparkle? Is she nice?"
"Who?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
Hermione looked at Luna.
Luna smiled at Hermione with her dreamy smile.
Hermione grabbed a bowl of porridge and sat down.
"Do you need help Mrs. Weasley?" Luna asked.
"No thank you, dear. Just get breakfast, and then you lot can help me decorate."
"Okay."
*CRACK!*
"Morning, you lot." Fred or George said.
"Where's the birthday boy?" the other said.
"Sleeping," Hermione said.
"We see," the twins said in unison. "We'll go wake him up."
"You'll do no such thing!" Mrs. Weasley said. "Let him sleep."
"Oh. He pulled another all-nighter?"
"Another?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "How often does he pull all-nighters."
"It would be easier to ask how often he doesn't."
"Which is?"
"When he's sick or in the hospital or unconscious for one reason or another."
"Oh no. That's not good at all. He's a growing boy, he needs his sleep."
"He says that he's trained his body to survive on only needing one hour of sleep," Luna said.
"Oh, that won't do at all, not at all. He needs more sleep than that."
"Right," Luna declared. "We'll knock him out after dinner and tie him to his bed."
"No dear. That's not what I meant."
"Oh. Well, I'm out of ideas."
"Jason would just resent us for that," Hermione explained. "We need to make him see reason."
"This is Jason we're talking about," Ron said. "The guy is the most overprotective Wizard of our year. He's like the god of Overkill and Overprotection."
"Don't give him any ideas, Ronald," Hermione said.
"Have you met Jason? I'm surprised that he hasn't claimed the title on his own."
"Which is why he doesn't need any help from us."
"He needs all the help we can give him." Luna said. "He just needs healthy and creative help as opposed to his more destructive ways."
"Right!" Mrs. Weasley clapped her hands together. "Everyone get ready to decorate."
The fireplace came to life and Neville, the Patil Twins, Mary, and Clara walked out of the fireplace.
"Draco sent a gift." Clara said, placing a wrapped gift on the table. "He also regrets that he couldn't come."
"We understand dear." Mrs. Weasley said. "But now we need to decorate. So, hop to it. There are decorations in the hallway."
With that the group left Mrs. Weasley to finish dinner.
"Parvati dear." Mrs. Weasley said. "Could you pop up to Jason's room and talk to him about healthy habits when he wakes up?"
"Pulled another all nighter?" Parvati asked.
"Yes, and I suppose that he does that a lot."
"Yeah. I'll go talk to him." Parvati jumped into the air and changed into the Animagus form before flying to Jason's room. She landed outside his room and knocked and waited a second before opening the door. She saw Jason sitting on the edge of his bed, breathing heavily. "Whoa. Hey. You okay?"
"Not really." Jason said. "Just had a nightmare..."
"'Twas a vision lad!" The picture yelled.
"I don't believe in Divination!"
"Whoa. Whoa. What's wrong?"
"In my NIGHTMARE..."
"VISON!"
"Enough!" Parvati snapped. "Tell me what you saw."
"We were in school, and Umbitch had us in detention. She was trying to use us against each other. It didn't make a whole lot of sense because she had all of us tied to chairs and was using the Cruciatis curse on you guys until I broke free. Should have broken free sooner, but I didn't..."
"Hey, hey." she said, rubbing his back. "Don't worry. If it was a dream then it was just a bad dream, and if it was a vision, keyword being was, then you can use it to make sure it doesn't happen again."
"You're right. I'm going to get back to sleep." He said casting a quick Scourgify on his bed cleaning it before he changed his shirt.
Parvati blushed when she saw Jason without a shirt on. She also frowned because of the scars he wore as reminders of when life had tried to beat him, break him, or kill him. She didn't want to see anymore scars on his body.
Jason sat on the bed and began looking through his grandmother's diary again.
"What's that?" Parvati asked.
"It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary."
"Try saying that five times fast." Parvati said.
"It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary. It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary. It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary. It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary. It's my grandmothers, sometimes grandfather's, Diary." Jason said
"Show off." Parvati said.
"Yeah. A little."
"Are you going to try getting back to sleep?"
"I don't know if I can."
"Lay down." Parvati said.
Jason did, and Parvati lay down next to him before she leaned into him and began reading the diary. It was a really interesting read, but the spells. She looked over at Jason and smiled a wicked smile.
"Don't even think about it." Jason said.
"What?"
"You know what."
"Fine. I thought you were asleep."
"I'm resting."
"You should be sleeping."
"And let you use that gender bending charm? No thanks."
"You don't want to know what it's like to have a woman's body?"
"I'm not that adventurous."
"Fine. You're no fun."
"I know."
Parvati got up and looked inside Jason's trunk to find the books he'd kept from the attic. She found the one on divination and began reading it. She curled up next to Jason and kept reading. She read until she got to an interesting chapter.
When trying to see if you or someone you know has the gift, try this.
Relax, or get them to relax and tell them to breathe naturally.
The Next step is where things get tricky. Tell them to dream without dreaming. It sounds mad, but that's honestly how I figured it out. I would put my head down and relax before dreaming without dreaming. It works.
"Hey, Jason. Are you awake?"
"Yes, but at the same time, no."
"Are you relaxed?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Breathe naturally, and dream without dreaming."
"What are you talking about?"
"Just do it?"
"Why?"
"Just do it."
"Fine." Jason Said breathing normally.
Jason was walking through Hogwarts. There was no Joy or Happiness that would normally exist in the school, but instead there was an Aura of fear, dread, and hatred. Why?
"Miss Williams." The grating voice of Delores Umbitch called out. "Why aren't you in class?"
"Free Period." Mary said.
"Nonsense. Students don't have free periods at Hogwarts. Since you're out of class then you have detention."
"But. I didn't do anything wrong."
"That's another hour of detention."
"What! Why?"
"That's three hours of detention!"
"That's not fair!"
"FOUR HOURS!"
Mary was so scared that she wasn't sure what to do.
Jason raced forward to help Mary, but he was pulled back until he jumped up and rolled off the bed with a thump.
Parvati looked down at him. "What wrong?" she asked nervously.
"Oh fuck!" Jason said rolling over and sitting up. "Oh fuck! Oh fuck! Oh fuck! No, no, no, no, no!" He spoke.
"Jason." Parvati said. "What is it? What's wrong?"
"Oh fuck!"
Parvati made Jason look at her and held his face. "Jason. What did you see?"
"Umbridge." Jason panted. "She gets Mary."
"Don't panic. You've seen it, so now you know how to stop it."
"Yeah." Jason began calming down. "Yeah. I can stop it."
Parvati hugged Jason. She hated it when Jason sounded scared. Fear coming from someone who was so strong was... it scared her and made her feel sad and angry that someone could make someone like Jason feel fear. She hugged him tighter.
"I'm not getting back to sleep." Jason said. "I'm going to take a shower."
"You can't!" Parvati said.
"Why not? Does this have something to do with the surprise party you guys are throwing me?"
"What! No!"
"Oh really? Then what does it have to do with?"
"Uh, um, uh... want to see me use the Sex Change spell on myself?"
"And watch my Girlfriend become a guy? No thanks."
"We could use it on each other."
"Hard pass."
"Why are you so against the idea of using the spell?"
"Because."
"That's not an answer."
"Yes, it is."
"Is it because you're scared?"
"No!" Jason snapped. "No, I am not scared!"
"It's not a problem to be scared."
"It is when you are supposed to scare other people."
"Come here." Parvati said.
Jason walked over to her and she hugged him before she led him to the bed and they laid down.
"It's almost lunchtime." Molly said to the children. "Will one of you go up to tell Jason and Parvati that it's time for lunch?"
"Sure thing." Padma said.
"I'll go too." Mary said.
They walked up the stairs to Jason's room and as Mary was about to knock, Padma stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Mary asked.
Padma's hearing and smell had enhanced thanks to her Animagus transformation. Color had been muted, and she had a sixth sense for when danger was afoot. She could hear and smell what was going on behind the door, and her sixth sense was telling her that if they interrupted whatever was going on in the room that they wouldn't like it.
A moan escaped the room, and Mary looked confused. "What's going on in there?" She asked.
"That's a discussion for when you're older." Padma said, leading Mary down the stairs.
"Where's Jason and your sister dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"They are... involved." Padma said.
"They are most certainly not!" Mrs. Weasley said walking up the stairs to Jason's room before barging in. "What on earth do you think you two are doing!?" she demanded.
"Um..." Jason said looking at Parvati. "Reading?" He said holding up a book on potion making.
"Oh. Padma said that you two were involved, and you're too young for that. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Jason said. "We weren't doing anything but reading while you guys decorate for my surprise party."
"Alright dears. I'll just leave you to it."
"Bye Mrs. Weasley." Parvati said.
When Mrs. Weasley closed the door Jason held up his hand for a minute before he said. "She's gone."
"Oh. Good thing that you smelled Padma and Mary when you did. Otherwise, we might have been caught."
"I mean, I get it. Unprotected sex could lead to a lot of problems, and getting caught during a make out session could be embarrassing."
"Speaking of which..." Parvati said grabbing Jason by his shirt and pulling him into her so they could continue, while their hands went back to exploring each other's bodies.
Mrs. Weasley walked down the stairs and looked at the others. "What?" She asked. "They were reading."
"Not when they sounded like that they weren't." Padma said.
"Do you think I'm daft Padma dear? I know perfectly well what they were doing, and so long as they don't get too carried away, they can have their fun. Now. Back to work."
They continued decorating the house while Mrs. Weasley went back into the kitchen to continue working on the meal.
Jason and Parvati stopped making out, leaving themselves breathless.
"We should probably stop." Parvati said. "Before we go too far."
"Yeah." Jason agreed, getting out of bed, revealing that he was very turned on.
Parvati was also aroused by their recent activities.
Jason grabbed a change of clothes and a towel before heading to the bathroom.
Parvati left and headed for her room. When she got there, she saw Padma waiting for her.
"So." Padma began. "What did you and Jason do?"
"We read..."
"You can't trick my ears or nose. I know what I heard and smelled. Did you two have sex." It wasn't a question.
"No." Parvati defended. "Though we decided to stop before we took it that far."
"I Heard you moan and smelled arousal."
"Yes. We were both very aroused by each other, but no. We did not have sex."
"Then what did you two do?"
"We made out and felt each other up." Parvati smiled at her sister.
"Is that all?"
"You can ask Jason if you want... when he gets out of the bath that is."
"Fine." Padma said changing into her Animagus form and walking to the bathroom. She waited until she heard the someone walking towards the door and stood up, ready to get her answers.
Jason took care of his arousal before taking a shower to wash the sweat and grime from his body. He stepped out and dried off before looking in the mirror. "I Wonder." He thought.
He remembered the spell that his grandmothers, sometimes Grandfathers, created. What if there was a way, he could use it to his advantage? He'd need to find out.
He opened the door and walked into Padma who was blocking the way out. *What did you do with Parvati!* she snapped.
"We made out and felt each other up. There was no skin on skin contact. Everything stayed over the clothes."
Padma sniffed the air. *It's a good thing you're not lying. Otherwise, I'd bite your balls off.*
Jason would have snarked something, but Padma was just doing what was best for Parvati. So, he didn't. Instead, he walked past her and into his room. He changed into Cargo pants, a long sleeved charcoal gray shirt, and a red hoodie before he put his wrist sheaths on and zipped up his hoodie half way before he put on a pair of socks and pulled his boots on.
There was a knock on his door and he answered it to find Parvati standing in his doorway.
"Hey." She spoke. "Sorry about Padma, she can get a little over protective."
"I can understand that."
"Yeah. I suppose that you could."
Jason mulled something over before he came to a decision. "Come in." He spoke.
"What's up?"
"I want to try something."
"Oh? And what might that be?"
"Not what you're thinking. I want to try the gender bending spell."
"Oh. You're right. I wasn't expecting that. Why?"
"Because. Do you realize how useful that would be? Not only change clothes, but change genders? It's brilliant."
"Okay. What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to make sure that I cast the spell properly."
"Okay."
Jason walked to the mirror and looked at himself. "Okay." He spoke. "Okay, okay, okay." He drew his wand and began casting the spell. "Sexus Mutatio." He cast.
His hair grew longer, the same length as his braid with the Nargles charm. His face grew smoother and his lips a little rounder. He body became slimmer and more curvaceous, giving him an hourglass figure. He grew a pair of breasts and lost a part of himself.
"Whoa." Parvati said.
Jason just looked at himself... herself... whatever in the mirror. "This feels so weird." He said in a feminine voice. "Wait. Is that my voice?" He cleared his throat. "Is that MY voice?"
Parvati looked at Jason and came to a realization. "Wow. You're beautiful as a Girl." She spoke.
"What?" Jason asked.
"I Said. You're beautiful as a Girl." Parvati repeated.
Jason blushed at that, and Parvati squealed and swooned. "You look adorable!"
"I'm not supposed to look adorable!" Jason snapped. "I'm going to learn how to use this body to enhance my skills as a vigilante! I'm supposed to be dangerous!"
"I know." Parvati said. "But you're soooo cute!" she said, patting his head.
"Don't patronize me." He spoke.
"Fine." Parvati huffed.
"Thank you." Jason said before walking and falling on his face.
"WHAT THE HELL!" He yelled.
"Oh." Parvati said, trying to keep a straight face so she didn't squeal again. Jason was soooo cute when he yelled like that. "It's your center of gravity. You have a pair of breasts now. So, you need to get used to that weight."
Jason pushed himself up before standing up and walked to the wall being careful not to fall. "How the hell do girls walk with these?!"
"Practice and a bra." Parvati explained.
"That'll be awkward." Jason said.
"I have a spare if you want to borrow one."
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"I would say no, but that's a lie."
"Okay. How do I walk like this?" He asked.
"Adjust your center of gravity, don't slouch, and be comfortable in your own body."
Jason stood straight and walked through the room.
"Hey! No fair!" Parvati yelled. "How did you perfect your stance just like that!?"
"Do you realize how hard it is to run along rooftops? I need to be able to adjust my center of gravity at the drop of a hat."
Parvati growled at that.
Jason began jumping, flipping, jumping off the walls and furnishings. Trying to get used to having a new feminine body. He flipped and felt pain in his chest causing him to fall to the floor. "Fuck!" He hissed.
"What's wrong Jason? What happened?"
"Don't know. My chest hurts."
"You probably strained yourself. You'll probably need to get a sports bra. That or wrap yourself up."
Jason stood up and massaged his breasts. "I need to apologize to Barbara for all the times I hit her in the chest during sparring."
"I should think so." Parvati said.
"I had no idea how bad that could hurt."
"Just wait till you have your first period."
"Wait, what?"
"Forget about that little detail? Or just haven't heard of it."
"No, no. I've heard of it. I just don't know if it's possible since the spell only lasts for three hours."
"Oh. That's right. Well, you're lucky. Three days to a week of mood swings, menstrual cramps, and bleeding."
"Sounds Bad."
"It is. And girls have to go through it once a month."
"I'm sorry." Jason apologized.
"Well. I suppose that you know pain better than anyone. After taking the Cruciatis Curse the way you did last year."
"Honestly that's not the worst pain I've ever felt." Jason explained. "I think the worst pain I've felt, was that night."
"In the graveyard?" Parvati asked quietly.
"Yes. It wasn't just physical pain, but emotional pain as well. The physical pain I could manage, but the emotional pain. The pain caused by knowing that I'd led my friends to their deaths. The pain of knowing that they would feel pain before that night was over. I wanted to take all of their pain on myself if it would spare them."
Parvati hugged Jason. "Why haven't you told anyone this?"
"Because it's my burden to bear."
"No. It's not. You have a support system. One that will help you. You need to use them."
There was a knock on the door and Padma walked in. "School letters." she said, handing Parvati her and Jason's letters.
"Thanks." Parvati said, taking the letters.
Padma left the room. "I expect you two to use that spell responsibly." She said before closing the door.
Jason and Parvati looked at each other. "Let's open our letters now."
They opened their letters and read them.
There was a knock on the door a moment later, and Ron walked in. "Jason. I think... You're a woman."
"Yes, Ron." Jason said. "I cast the Gender swapping spell on myself."
"Why?"
"Because. I'm going to use it to my advantage."
"Right. Anyways. I think that this is yours." He said holding out a Prefect Badge.
"No, it's not." Jason said. "Do you really think that McGonagall would give ME the Prefect position?"
"Yes."
"Let me put this another way... What is that responsibility? Get that Shit away from me."
"Why?"
"Because. I don't want it. You earned it."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Ron."
"Yes?"
"Mrs. Weasley! Ron is a Prefect!" Jason yelled.
"WHAT!" Ron yelled.
In a flash Mrs. Weasley was upstairs and looked at Ron. "What's this about Ron becoming Prefect!?"
"I'm a Prefect Mum." Ron showed her the badge.
"MY BABY BOY!" Mrs. Weasley sobbed, hugging Ron in a crushing Bear Hug. "This is wonderful! That's everyone in the family!"
"Oi!" Fred and George yelled, popping into the room. "What does that make us! Next door neighbors!"
"Just wait until your father hears about this. What wonderful news. You could end up Head boy, just like Bill and Percy. It's the first step. Oh, what a thing to happen in the middle of all this worry. I'm just thrilled. We need to celebrate. We got Percy an owl, but you've already got one, so what will it be?"
"Well, I've already got that Besinstiel from Draco." Ron thought. "Do you think maybe some new robes?"
"Of course, dear." Mrs. Weasley said. "We'll go to Madam Malkin's first thing in the morning."
"Thanks mum." Ron said with a big smile on his face.
Mrs. Weasley looked around at them and saw a girl standing with Parvati. "Parvati dear? Who is that with you?"
"It's me Mrs. Weasley." Jason said in a feminine voice. "Jason. I cast the Gender Swapping spell from my grandmother's journal on myself. What do you think?"
"Is that a temporary thing or are you changing pronouns dear?"
"It's just temporary. The Journal says it'll wear off with Time or the counter spell."
"Alright dear. Just be careful."
"I will." Jason Said as Mrs. Weasley left.
"Congratulations Ron." Jason said. "Now. All of you. Out."
"Okay, okay." Fred said.
"We'll leave you two alone." George said.
"Don't do anything we wouldn't do."
"That's a very short list." Parvati said.
"Yeah. They wouldn't do each other." Jason snarked.
"Or animals." Fred added.
"Or our other family members." George said.
"Or blokes." They said in unison. "Though we respect that there are those out there who are attracted to blokes. Just not us."
"Cool. Now leave."
Ron and the Twins left, and Jason looked at Parvati. "Well, that happened." He spoke.
"Yeah." Parvati agreed. "So... What should we do now?"
"I'm not sure. Do you have any ideas?"
"We have three hours. I have a few ideas."
That night.
Jason sat at the head of the table trying to hide his blush as his friends and family sang happy birthday to him. When the lights came on everyone could see the tinges of pink in his cheeks.
They chose not to say anything for the sake of not embarrassing him.
"All right Jason dear." Mrs. Weasley said. "Open Your presents and we'll have cake and ice cream after."
Jason looked at the pile of presents in front of him and picked up one from Hermione.
She looked at him expectantly. "I hope you like it." She spoke.
Jason ripped off the wrapping paper and saw a box set of books. "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." He spoke. "Thanks Hermione."
"You're Welcome. I hope you like it."
"I'm sure that I will." Jason said, reaching for another present. He grabbed one from Neville. Opening the present, he saw a book titled '101 dark plants and herbs.'
"It's a book about plants and herbs that can only be used for making dark potions and other things." Neville explained.
"How is that not a banned book?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know that it isn't." Neville explained. "If you read some of the things that book can be used for..." he shuddered. "...it's the reason I gave it to Jason. I know that he won't abuse it."
Jason flipped through the book and found a potion for causing pain, a plant that could be ground up and mixed with another plant to eat through flesh. He put the book on the table and grabbed a present from Ron. He opened it to find a book of the Cannons' best plays and a bag of chocolate frogs. "Thanks Ron." He spoke.
"You're Welcome, mate." Ron Said.
Jason grabbed a present from Harry and opened it to see a box with a dagger inside it. He took it out and unsheathed the blade. It was a dagger of the purest silver.
"It's been charmed to be ever sharp and self-cleaning." Harry explained. "The handle also has been charmed so that you can't be disarmed, and the pommel has a lighting charm, so you have a light with you if you need it."
"Thank you."
"You're Welcome."
Jason put the blade in the sheath and placed it to the side before grabbing a box from Draco. He opened it to see "102 useful spells they won't teach you in school." By: Bethesda Grindelwald.
The adults looked at the book in horror. Why would Draco give Jason a book written by a descendent of HIM?
Jason picked up another package from Clara. He opened it to see a book titled: "A dozen and two spells for around the house."
"Wait." Hermione Said. "Why did they Name it that? Why not say 14 spells for around the house?"
"Because it's Not As catchy." Clara explained.
"Ugh!" Hermione grunted at the naming methods of Wizards.
Jason picked up a package from Mr. And Mrs. Weasley. He opened it and found a box of sweets, and a mass of fabric. He levitated it into the air and saw a picture of a group of animals. In the center was a lion with a glorious Mane with a Steppe Polecat on its head. In between the lion's legs was a Platypus. Next to the Lion, on its left was a Doberman while on its right was a raccoon with his hands together, fingers intertwined. In between the Lion and Doberman stood a rather small Pangolin with her hands together. To the right of the raccoon stood a large cat of some kind with a white ferret on her back. Standing behind the cat and ferret stood a large grim. On the Grim's back stood two possums grinning ear to ear. Flying overhead was an assortment of birds. A Raven hovered over the Lion and Polecat while an owl hovered to the right. A peregrine Falcon hovered over the Doberman with a red hummingbird hovered to the right. A Falcon hovered over the Raccoon with a red bat flying next to it.
"Thank you." Jason said in awe. But... I don't recognize some of those animals."
"Oh." Mrs. Weasley said. "The Falcon is my Animagus form while Arthur's is a raccoon. Those other three are Clara, Draco, and Mary."
"Do they have Animagus forms?"
"Not yet dear."
"No offense, but how do you know their Animagus forms then?"
"Oh. That's because of Divination dear."
"What!" Hermione asked. "How can you possibly believe in Divination?"
"I agree." Jason agreed. "Divination is..."
"Before you say anything else." Alfred interrupted. "I think you'd better open the gift I brought you."
Jason grabbed a gift from Alfred. It was extremely light. He ripped the wrapping paper off and saw a box full of books.
"Those are your family's books." Alfred explained. "I spent the last few months finding them for you."
Jason looked through the books. There were potions books, books on healing, books on charms and spells, and books on... "Divination?"
"Yes. Your family was well known for their abilities as Seers. Divination was the Todd's Family Magic and Healing was the Haywood's. Your Grandmother's and Grandfathers were accomplished Witches and Wizards. You have books written by Lyra Todd, your grandmother, and Taurus Haywood, your Grandfather. As well as books written by their respective partners and spouses. There's a total of ten books including the family magic."
Mrs. Weasley looked like she wanted to say something but kept it to herself for the time being.
"Family magic?" Hermione and Harry asked in Unison.
"Oh yes." Alfred said. "Family magic is generally something that a Witch or Wizard receives when they come of age. I gave Jason his Family Magic two years early because... well partially because I forgot that it was in the box and partially because I wanted him to feel a little closer to his family. In fact, I do believe that there's a few journals in the box as well."
Jason looked inside and saw the journals. He'd read them later.
"Oh. Before I forget." Alfred said. "I found something that might interest Miss Granger."
"Me?"
"Yes. Remind me after the party and I'll show it to you."
"All right." Hermione Said with an air of excitement.
Jason put the books back in the box and grabbed a long box. He opened it and saw a note on top.
Jason,
I found this is the Black family vault. I figured that you would have more use for it than I. Use it in good health.
Sirius.
P.S. The enchantments are Ever sharpness, self-cleaning, and it will stay invisible so long as it's sheathed.
Jason opened the box and saw a beautiful silver sword and a sheath. He sheathed the sword and saw that it became invisible. He unsheathed the sword, and it became visible again. "Thanks Sirius." He spoke.
"Me next." Mary said, sliding a package in front of Jason.
Jason opened the package and saw a golden notebook with a crimson Polecat on the front.
"It has the same enchantments at Harry and Neville's." Mary beamed. "It'll play music when you write in it and it can be transferred from this book to another book and when you read whatever you wrote on the paper the same music will play. Do you like it?"
"Yes." Jason said. "Of course, I like it."
"Yay! I'm glad."
"Here you go." Parvati said, handing him a small box. He opened it and saw a boot knife. "Thank you." He spoke.
"You're Welcome." She replied. "I figured that you'd rather want to be over prepared rather than under prepared."
"You're right."
"Here Ya go." Padma said, handing Jason a suspiciously similar box.
He opened it to see the exact same knife.
"Well thank you." Jason said. "Now I have two knives."
"Remember. There's no kill like overkill."
"That's very true." Jason said. "But this one is a half gram too light off the back end."
"I'm next." Luna said, handing Jason a box before anyone could say anything.
Jason opened it to see a bronze necklace. The pendant of the necklace was a bronze diamond with a blue stone in the shape of a diamond in the center.
"I Hope you like it." Luna said.
"I do." Jason replied.
"That's good. Cause it's secretly a tracking device. It makes a very nice beeping sound when active."
"It's not a bomb, is it?"
"No. That one was two Galleons whereas this one was six galleons, and I felt that you were worth more than two galleons."
"Good to know?" Jason asked.
"You're Welcome." Luna smiled her dreamy smile.
"We're next mate." Fred said, handing Jason a package.
"We hope you like it." George continued.
"We decided that a bloke like you was into a useful gift yeah?"
"So. We decided that we'd get you two gifts..."
"...and you could decide which gift is the most useful gift..."
"...and which gift is the less useful gift."
"So, without further ado..."
"...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The twins shouted in unison.
Jason lifted the not so very heavy gift and opened it. Inside was a... "A leg of mutton?" He asked.
"Yes." Fred said.
"You can cook it and cast a preserving charm on it, so you always have a quick bite to eat."
Mrs. Weasley facepalmed while Hermione rolled her eyes.
Alfred looked pleased.
"What's the second present?" George asked.
Jason reached into the box and pulled out a magazine and a subscription receipt. When he looked at the magazine, he wasn't quick enough to hide his blush.
"SURPRISE!" The twins yelled in unison.
Mrs. Weasley took one look at the Magazine before she apparated to Fred and George and grabbed them by their ears. "FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY!" She roared. "HOW DARE YOU! NOT ONLY DID YOU BRING THAT FILTH INTO THIS HOUSE! BUT YOU ALSO GAVE IT TO A MINOR! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!"
"Quick George!" Fred yelled. "Apparate to safety!"
"She's our mother Fred! Nowhere is safe!"
The occupants of the kitchen wanted to laugh, but they had never seen Mrs. Weasley so mad before. They were quite possibly frozen in sheer terror.
Jason looked at the subscription receipt. The twins had gotten him a two year subscription to Play Witch Magazine.
Ginny slid her present in front of Jason as quietly as possible so as not to gather her mother's ire. "Here you go." She said so softly that Jason could barely hear her from right beside him.
Jason opened it up to show a poster of the Holyhead Harpies. "Thanks Ginny." He spoke.
"You're Welcome." She replied.
Mrs. Weasley was still chewing the twins out when Arthur and Alfred led them out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Right." Alfred Said. "While Molly takes care of that. Hermione, I have something for you." He said handing her a roll of Parchment.
"What is it?" Hermione asked, unrolling the parchment.
"Why don't you start from the bottom up?" Alfred suggested.
Hermione looked at the bottom and gasped. "This is a family tree." She spoke.
"More specifically, Your family tree." Alfred said.
"Mine?"
"Yes."
Hermione looked at it. She saw:
Parents:
Jarvis and Mary Pennyworth
Children:
Alfred Pennyworth- Bruce Wayne- Dick Greyson, Jason Todd
Derek Wilson/Tara Wilson(née Pennyworth)- Markus Wilson/Dana Wilson(née Isley)- Bill Wilson/Deanne Wilson (née Campbell)- Barbara Wilson
Henry Granger/Hannah Granger(née West)- Bill Granger/Samantha Granger(née Clooney)- Avery Granger/Kelly Granger(née Kilmer)- Philip Granger/Gillian Granger(née Keaton)- Hermione Granger
Hermione looked at the family tree before looking up at Alfred. "We're related?" She asked.
"Yes, and by that logic, you and master Jason are cousins."
Hermione and Jason looked at each other.
"That's one hell of a Birthday Gift Alfred." Jason said.
"Swear Jar." Alfred chided. "Tomorrow, I'll take you and your parents to Gringotts Miss Hermione. We'll get you in to see your vault, and I'll try and get your other cousin here to see you both."
"Our Cousin?" Jason and Hermione asked in unison.
"Yes. Barbara Wilson."
"I can't wait to meet her." Hermione said.
"Dessert!" Mrs. Weasley called.
AN: So... Jason's Birthday. Jason and Hemione are cousins. Hermione is related to Alfred. Jason uses the Genderbending charm, and Chaos ensues. I wonder what he's planning and what he'll use it for the future?
