Chapter 2

Transformation

There was a silent buzzing among the students of both Gryffindor and Slytherin House. They simply couldn't wait to start this, it was perhaps the most interesting thing that they had studied and as the Head of Slytherin House and Potions Master, Serverus Snape walked into the classroom, a hushed quiet fell over them, not to say that didn't happen every time he walked into a classroom. But this was different, they weren't silent out of fear or intimidation, they were silent because they wanted to get to the actually brewing as fast as humanly possible. And to accomplish that you had to be silent and comply with everything that the large brooding man wanted, and those two things were the only thing that he wanted from his students.

"Class," Snape said walking up the center aisle of desks. "I want to stress the point that today paying attention is paramount, today after my lecture we will be brewing our first Transformation Potion, it will be an easy one that is not dangerous but I can assure you that the more we get closer to the end of the school term, the more they will get dangerous, this is just one that I felt we could safely start with, so let us begin with paring up, please read the board for the partner list and when you all sit, I'll assume that we can begin the lecture, get to it you insufferable brats!"

The chalkboard spun to its other side with a swish of air, and the names of all of the students that Snape himself had paired up appeared. Harry noticed the theme quickly, and he knew that no one in the room was enjoying the looks of things. He stifled a laugh when he saw Ron's name paired with none other than Gregory Goyle, he didn't know what to expect when he saw Hermione's name next to Theodore Nott. To be honest if it where him, he would have preferred to be with Nott rather than Goyle, but he was neither of his friends, as he was expecting again his name was next to Draco Malfoy. For the first time since Snape had purposely started doing that –and Harry knew he was doing it on purpose, he just knew it- he wasn't irritated, or dreading the encounter, in fact he really didn't mind it. Harry liked it so much to the extent that he counted himself luckier than his housemates.

"Potter," Malfoy drawled flatly as he sat next to Harry. "I trust that you got a good sleep after scrubbing three levels of bathrooms last night?"

Harry narrowed his eyes. "Surprisingly yes, I didn't have my nightmares of my pants and underwear falling down in the Great Hall during dinner"

When Draco chuckled at this, he drew suspicious looks from his housemates as well as Harry's who were all around them, and not to mention Professor Snape he began to eye the two closely. "I cannot say that I'd feel sorry for you if that did happen to you, you being the laughing stock of the school"

"I'm sure Malfoy," Harry responded laughing mockingly.

When Snape's voice broke their banter, both Harry and Draco looked back up at the Professor. "Class please turn to page four hundred twenty six, section Transformation Potions, we will be focusing on one of the most basic transformation potions, it is akin to the Polyjuice Potion however it is much more simple and the only thing that separates it from that said potion is that it only transforms the drinker into an animal, not another human being"

Ignoring the hands that went up, there were only two, one of which belonging to Hermione –naturally- Snape picked the book up from his desk and he began to read it aloud to the class. "The Celvindimi Potion, it take less than a half an hour to brew typically, even for the most imbecilic of Potion Students, and it is very east to brew for that matter, all you would have to do is simply add something belonging to the body of that animal that you want to transform into, it's blood, hair, fur, bones things of that nature, and then once you drink it, you transform into that animal for an extended time"

"Professor?" Hermione asked looking at her book and the teacher curiously.

Sighing in annoyance, Snape rolled his eyes and slammed the book shut with a bang. "Let me take a quick guess of what you and the rest of your classmates are wondering, can you transform before the effects of the potion wear off? The answer is simply yes, do you have any other questions?"

"Of the materials used to create the potion," Hermione responded. "Which of them do you say works the best?"

Snape didn't mind answering this question at all, he found it refreshing that a student asked his opinion. "I believe that the blood would work the best, the bones would make the potion rough when you drank it, the hair …don't get me started, the blood is simply the best because of its liquid, it makes it easy to drink, however I do suggest that when you do drink this potion that you prepare for one of the most foulest tastes that you'll ever have the displeasure of coming into contact with, now if that'll be all Ms. Granger I would love to continue with my lecture"

Bringing is hand up to cover his mouth up from the laughter, his smile was wiped off of his face as Snape slammed his book across the back of his head before reaching the back of the class. "This potion has put under strict regulations in 1979 when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his followers began to use it to spy inside the Ministry of Magic by posing as fly's on the wall, since our own Mr. Potter here killed He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named those regulations were removed as they are right now. You are one of the first classes to learn to brew this potion in close to eighteen years, aren't you special?"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

It was sometime later and the entire class was focusing heavily on the potion, aside from the occasional outburst of anger from Ron whose partner Goyle was making him brew the entire potion, it was completely quiet. At Harry and Draco's table, Harry was breaking wolf's bane and was now proceeding to put it into the cauldron and Draco was thinking heavily. He was a master at Potions for someone of his age, he had learned how to do it from his father and godfather and he considered himself something of prodigy but the one thing he wasn't sure of was what would happen if you mixed the Amagus Potion together with the Celvindimi Potion. Would it kill Harry? Or would it serve his purpose more thoroughly? If he was going to do it he needed to do it now and no matter what happened he was just going to have to take the great risk. "Potter? Could you go get me another potions book from the cabinet? I'll need another one from something later"

Harry nodded and pulled himself out of the seat. "Sure, you think you can add the raven blood?"

"Yes," Draco said with a nod of his head. "I wasn't really taught to say thank you, so I'll settle with …I-I appreciate it"

Smiling, he laughed at went to the back of the room to the cabinets that Snape kept the Potions Textbooks in. Draco watched him carefully, before he reached forward and grabbed the small vile of crimson fluid near the cauldron. Slowly putting it into his robe pocket, he retrieved the vial of the Amagus Potion that he had collected this morning, and uncorked the top of the vial. He had made sure to make enough of it encase he needed to do this again, but he was pretty sure that this would be his first and only try and that it would be successful. Looking back to wear Harry was looking through the inside of the cabinet to find the correct book, he poured the purplish liquid into the caldron and almost immediately it began to hiss and emit a steam of smoke.

"Professor? Potter and I are finished." Draco announced to Snape and more to the entire room.

Then he wore a smug smirk as he watched the faces of irritation on all of the other students in the room. When Harry returned, he handed the book back to Draco who took it. "I wanted to take the time to get you a nice one, can't really study if half of the pages are ripped out of our book, get what I'm saying?"

Malfoy nodded. "I hope you don't mind if Snape asks you to drink it, and if he doesn't and he thinks I should do it, I'd appreciate it if you'd do it anyway"

Normally Harry hated going up the center of the class and drinking the potion, it was embarrassing and sometimes it was even painful. But what could it hurt to turn into a bird for a few moments? And besides Snape would change him back before he did anything stupid, wouldn't he? Part of him actually doubted that Snape would turn him back into a human. It wasn't like he had a choice though, between the two of them, Snape would rather turn the son of his school enemy into a bird instead of his godson. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, I believe that you wanted me to inspect your potion for correctness?"

"Yes." Draco nodded with an amazingly capitulating smile.

Raising a single eyebrow, Snape looked down at the cauldron and cast a critiquing look at the concoction. He was the Potion's Master of Hogwarts School, he was one of the most accomplished people to ever advance in the art of Potion Making, and he could tell everything he needed to know by just looking at a Potion, and he found this one curious. It looked and smelled completely correct, but he wasn't so sure, leaning down he took a deep breath in and then he knew that it wasn't correct. If it were any other Transformation Potion he would dispose of it and make them start over, but the Celvindimi had could not possibly kill Potter if he made him drink it. So that's what he was going to do. "Mr. Potter, extract a sample of your potion and prepare to drink it"

Harry sighed. "I don't mean to complain here Professor, but why do I always have to do this, why not Malfoy?"

"If you don't mean to complain Potter," Snape said grasping an empty vial and pushing it to Harry. "Then don't, now do it!"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Draco was on the edge of his seat when he saw Harry being led by Snape to the head of the classroom, he was taking an awful risk when he combined the potions but somehow he knew that it was going to pay off. Folding his arms across his chest, he watched as Snape pulled a stool to the center of the classroom and made a motion for Harry to sit down, when The Boy-Who-Lived sat down, Draco saw the vial grasped tightly in his hand. "Alright class, Potter is going to test out his potion, if he brewed it correctly than he will be transforming into a raven, if he didn't brew it correctly as I suspect, than he will begin to vomit until he passes out and in that case we will have to take him to Madam Pomfrey, and as Head Boy, I suggest you get ready Mr. Malfoy"

Nodding he clasped his hands together. "Understood Professor"

"Alright Potter, on the count of three I want you to uncork the vial and drink the entire potion in one drink" Snape instructed.

With a heavy sigh, he brought the hand that held the vial up, Snape spied this and cleared his throat before he began to speak.

"One," Snape began watching as Harry pulled the cork off of the vial.

"Two," He continued as Harry took a deep breath in and exhaled.

"Three," The man finished as Harry brought the vial up to his lips and downed the entire potion.

When the potion reached his stomach, he began to feel it burn his insides and he dropped the glass vial instantly causing it to shatter into a thousand pieces instantly. He felt like a thousand knives were plunging into him as the Potion began to take effect on him, and in a blink of an eye he feel to the stone floor unconscious. The sickening sound that was made when he felt onto the small pieces of glass made half of the glass cry out in concern, while the other half just looked at Harry with morbid curiosity. Snape looked over at Draco with a shocked expression. "Mr. Malfoy I need you to get his things and take them to the Hospital, inform Madam Pomfrey of what has happened, the rest of you I need you to wait outside while I deal with this, someone please go to the Headmaster as well"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

'Urghh…Where am I?'

Harry peaked his eyes open, slowly to find that he was surrounded by a while curtain, and then he remembered what had happened in Potions and then panic went through him. What had happened after he had passed out, he brought his hand up which felt surprisingly smooth and light to the touch, and he felt the several bandages on his face. And then he moved his back and an arch of pain went through him, taking in a deep breath be brought his hands up to run it through his hair and then he found that his hair was long, thinking that the feeling was an utter hallucination he looked to his side and saw a blanket of raven hair. What in the hell happened? His heart was beating wildly, and in an attempt to calm himself down he brought his hand to rest over his heart. And he just about passed out.

He felt two lumps of flesh over his normally flat chest, they felt strangely familiar, and looking down he lifted up his shirt and his eyes bugged out of his head. He had a pair of breasts, and gaping from the shock of seeing those things on himself, he reached down to his pants that where now generically white and he lifted them up and he instantly fell back against his pillows and let a blood curling feminine scream. And then as if all of the pressure had fallen in on him, he fainted into utter blackness.
