Sorry for the long wait. I've been a bit busy with a big event (which happened to be a big success!). I'm riding on a lot of happiness right now, so I think I'll be updating all my stories!

"Sirius Black!" Molly Weasley exclaimed, absolutely infuriated, "What were you thinking!? We still don't understand Harry's condition and what if you'd been spotted!?"
Sirius shrugged,
"Sick Harry on them?" he suggested.
"This isn't a joke, Sirius!" Molly shouted.
"I wasn't joking." Sirius said, "We were attacked, or…Harry was. Six men. She took them all out with her bare hands, no magic."
Harry crossed her arms and snorted,
"Those guys aren't even worth mentioning."
Molly looked between the two of them, confused. Sirius looked at Harry strangely,
"I am also starting to think there is something deeply, deeply wrong with you on a psychological level."
Harry snorted,
"Well, I never said there wasn't. I've spent most of my childhood in an abusive household, been forced into life or death situations than I can count, turned into a girl and now constantly sexually harassed. I don't think there's anything right about me. Psychologically. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to put on some pants."
She threw Chi aside causing the bunny to let out a scream.
Harry went to the bathroom and stripped off the stupid, frilly abomination of a dress, changing into some plain capris (because girl's shorts were way too short for Harry's comfort) and a t-shirt. She stripped off the embarrassing, lacy underwear, exchanging it for some boxers and leaving out the bra for now.
She paused before leaving, staring at herself in the mirror.
"Shit." She whispered, realizing her nipples were outlined through the shirt in a way that made her feel less than comfortable. Even the boxers felt kind of strange…but there was no way she was going back to panties. She lifted up her shirt to get a good look at her chest and found herself admiring it a little bit.
She was still a guy on the inside, after all. Eventually, with the choice between the lacy bra she'd been forced to wear before, the sports bra she'd reluctantly bought, and wearing nothing, Harry decided to go braless.
She walked out of the washroom with her bags and headed to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of firewhiskey, then making her way to the couch to drink. Molly seemed to have ended her scolding of Sirius.
Chi came hopping into the room, he paused when he saw Harry.
"Sexy."
"How is this sexy?" Harry scowled, taking a swig of whiskey straight from the bottle.
Sirius walked in right on time to hear both their comments, then let out a groan,
"Harry…you've got to do something about that shirt."
"Why?" Harry shot him a look, "It's comfortable, and I doubt you're going to make a move on me, so what does it matter?"
Chi frowned,
"It's not suitable for a young lady."
"Neither is that bunny girl outfit you had me wear, or the traveling dancer outfit, or the cheerleader outfit, or the maid outfit." Harry listed, ten took another swig of whiskey.
"You're drinking again?" Sirius groaned, realizing he was going to have to start pouring whatever alcohol came into his house down the drain if he wanted to keep his godson sober.
Harry shrugged,
"I've got issues."
Chi sighed,
"Magical girls are all about beauty, grace and love…this is going to take more work than I thought."
"Well, Harry is a boy." Sirius raised an eyebrow at the strange, annoying creature.
"She's a girl now." Chi said, "And it's not the first time this has happened, where someone who was previously male became a Mahou Shoujo. I just don't have any personal experience in this area. It always seemed so simple in the manual."
"There's a manual?" Harry asked doubtfully.
Chi hummed,
"One of the suggestions, when found in this situation, is to try to get the Mahou Shoujo in touch with her maidenly feelings."
"My what?" Harry nearly choked while Sirius…Sirius looked like he was about to die trying to cover up his laughter.
"Your, uh, maidenly feelings, Harry." Sirius snorted, then fell to the ground laughing while Harry felt the onslaughts of a headache coming on.
She rubbed the bridge of her nose and took another swig of whiskey. Then, she set the bottle down on the coffee table and got up,
"I'm using your library, Sirius. There's got to be something somewhere about Mahou Shoujo, or magical girls somewhere, or even these pervy bunny things."
"I'm not a pervy bunny!"
"You want some help?" Sirius offered, completely ignoring Chi.
"That would be appreciated." Harry accepted the offer and the two of them went off to the Black library.
As they climbed the stairs, Harry found herself strangely aware of her breasts and how they seemed to bounce with every step she took. She'd vaguely noticed it before, but the distance from the bathroom to the living room had been so short that she hadn't bothered to think on it too much. She was starting to sort of understand now why girls wore bras, other than for the obvious not wanting their nipples showing through their shirts. It was rather distracting to say the least.
"It's been one and a half days and I'm already tired of this." Harry said distastefully.
"We'll find a way to change you back." Sirius promised.
"I know." Harry sighed, loosing the edge in her voice, "But I've already seen myself naked, twice, and though seeing a girl naked whenever you want is every fifteen-year-old boy's dream, it's kind of undermined by the fact that the boobs I'm ogling are my own."
Sirius nearly fell over again and Harry raised an eyebrow at him, mildly surprised by the reaction.
"What? You thought I wouldn't look? I've got my own free show here, I might as well enjoy it before I change back."
Sirius shot him a scandalized look.
"You're a lot more innocent than I thought you were." Harry commented lightly.
"Well…you're not innocent at all!" Sirius exclaimed, "Really, what happened to you, Harry? I mean…you weren't like this before…"
Harry shrugged,
"I just don't care anymore. You wake up without your bits and let's see how you handle it."
Sirius turned green,
"P-point." He shuddered at the very thought, and now that he knew it was possible, it seemed all the more terrifying.
"And you wouldn't at all be interested in taking advantage of being in a female body if you were in my shoes?" Harry asked Sirius skeptically.
Sirius shook his head, trying to clear it of awkward images,
"Alright, I get it…what's it like anyways?"
Harry hummed thoughtfully as they entered the library,
"Very different. Kind of like I've just been crammed into another body. My lips feel bigger, which is weird, bit like they're swollen or something. My face is completely different but other than my lips, I'm not completely aware of it unless I touch it, you know? My boobs kind of bounce without a bra and they feel pretty sensitive. Women seem to have more sensitive points on their bodies than men do, but I guess that was pretty obvious before." Harry paused, finding it nearly impossible to name every difference, "I think my legs are longer. And my feet are definitely smaller. That's a big part of the reason I had trouble balancing before, that and the pervy bunny made me wear high-heals." She scrunched her nose, "The erotic points though, that's the most interesting. I haven't really had time to test that out yet, but when I rub my…"
Sirius's face put a hand on Harry's shoulder, stopping her from speaking.
"T-that's enough…I think." He stuttered.
Harry started laughing, then made her way over to the shelves and started looking over the titles. Sirius shakily started looking around as well,
"What…are we looking for exactly?" Sirius wondered.
"Try magical creatures or magical beings." Harry suggested, "That's my best guess. Maybe mentions of other worlds. Pervy bunny said it came from some other world and was a companion of the Mahou Shoujo."
Sirius scrunched his face,
"So…aliens?" he wondered.
"Mahou Shoujo…does that sound like a foreign word to you?" Harry asked him thoughtfully.
"It does…I think there's a Japanese magical school called Mahoutokoro." He recalled, "That translates to 'magical place.'"
"So, it might have a Japanese origin." Harry realized, "That narrows it down a bit. Maybe looking in books that mention Japan or strange happenings in Japan?" She started getting to work, opening one of the books on the more obscure magical creatures and beings.
Sirius found another book and started reading through it as well.
They read in silence, going through book after book.
It was nearly three hours later when Harry was about to call it quits, when something caught her eye.
"Sirius. I found something. I think." She furrowed her brow as she looked over the page she was on.
Sirius made his way over to her and looked over her shoulder. Harry read out loud,
"The Mahou Shojou, or 'Magical Girl' in English, are humans contracted to creatures simply called 'contractors.' The Mahou Shojou are always female, although in the past five years there have been reports of males making contracts and becoming female through this particular contract. It is believed that the contractors are an alien species of magical beings that came to earth to fight a separate species of magical beings that are also likely extra-terrestrial."
"Sounds convoluted." Sirius murmured.
"Sounds like the plot of a crappy B-movie." Harry said dryly, but continued reading anyways, "Once the contract is made through a 'wish' on the part of the Mahou Shojou, the young girl is then tasked to fight alien magic. What is particularly interesting about Mahou Shojou is their ability to harness love magic. It is believed that these young girls are targeted for the formation of a contract specifically because they have some sort of connection or deep innate capacity to use or harness this magic already. The contractor simply gives them a little 'push.'
Further studies have shown a possible connection between the feminine energy and the harnessing of love magic and sacrificial blood magic." Harry paused a moment, thinking back to the protection her mother had cast when she'd only been a baby. She shook her head and continued, "Something that may also be of note is that the Mahou Shojou grow stronger when they become more in touch with their emotions and draw on the power of their own innocence, their desire to love and their desire to be loved, and their own femininity. The contractors generally refer to this as their 'maidenly feelings.'"
Harry glared down at the book, as though it were its fault for being so unhelpful. She threw the thing to the floor with anger as Sirius snickered.
"So then…if you want to be stronger, you need to…to get in touch with your maidenly feelings, Harry."
"Shut up." Harry sent him a glare.
