Harry knew something extraordinary had just happened to him. The first time he felt the awe and displacement of something akin to a miracle occurring, it had been when Hagrid met him for the first time and introduced him to the world of magic. The second time, it had been when Ginny asked him out after he had returned to Hogwarts after being on the run with Ron and Hermione. Now... it was the feeling of utter displacement that surrounded him. He no longer felt the burnt grass from the final battle beneath his body. He no longer felt the swell of dark magic in the air around him, the dark magic that stole away his best mate and girlfriend. He no longer heard the rustling sounds of Hermione crying somewhere nearby.

Instead, dew clung to his naked body beneath him. And his body felt... small. He could still feel the injuries from the final battle. The cuts and bruises stung quite fierce, and there was the steady pulsing of sharp pain in his shoulder and chest. But the air smelled cleaner then he had ever smelled before. Even the wind whispered soothing melodies to him, calming his war ridden mind.

Harry knew he had died. He had felt himself leave his body the moment he shot the spell towards Voldemort that would sacrifice his life for the death of his enemy. He had no regrets.

But... the fact was that he was still alive, in a land that was so silent compared to the war zone he left behind of fires blazing, people screaming and crying, blasts thrown everywhere and the never ending hum of energy that permeated the background. Instead, Harry took the silence and just breathed.

It was a few minutes that had passed before Harry heard some commotion off into the trees a bit far from him. He contemplated just staying where he was, but knew he should have his wounds tended to if he could.

Harry pulled himself to a standing position and blinked when he realized just how utterly short he was. He wasn't even 4 feet tall! He looked at his fingers and noticed how stubby they were. Was he a child? Or a creature of another race? Or just a shrunken man?

Instead of immediately going towards the sounds in the woods in search of help, he went off towards the stream. Hearing the soft guzzling of the water reminded Harry of how thirsty he was so he guzzled as much water as he could before he dared look at his reflection.

And what a reflection it was. His green eyes were enormous on his face. His hair was still as unkempt as ever. His skin was pale and his features were sharper then he remembered, even being laced with baby fat. And he was covered in blood and dirt.

Although the water was freezing cold, Harry went into it. He hissed as the water aggravated his wounds, but he took the sand from the shallow water to clean as much blood and dirt off as he could. He used the mud from the bottom of the water to scrub at his hair and wash out the blood.

Once all clean, he looked at himself once again, happy at the changes he saw. While the bruises and wounds stood out much brighter, he was definitely much cleaner and smelled less rotten.

Harry cocked his head to the side as he noticed his ears peaking out of his mostly clean hair. They were pointed.

Suddenly, there was a quiet from the woods that wasn't there a minute ago and Harry quickly ruffled his hair up to cover his ears again. No use having strangers notice his new ears if he himself didn't know what they meant.

He crouched down as a noise in the woods made its way closer towards him. He spotted a branch near him and quickly grasped it in his hands, waiting to see if the noise was friend or foe.
