Unexpected Changes

Chapter Four


“Is this how you want it Mione?” Kalista asked her as she turned the sketch towards Hermione who was sitting in the chair opposite of her reading a book. They had been at Spinners End for the last five hours. They spent their time getting themselves ready for tomorrow to portkey to Hogwarts with their new identities and Kalista trying to get the sketch the way Hermione wanted it while Severus worked on the potion that had to be made fresh, if they planned on using it with a sketch and not using thoughts.

“Can her lips be a little fuller and the eyes I want them almond shaped like yours but I want the brown to stay.” Hermione said as she looked over the sketch. “And the boobs, can I get them a bit fuller. I don’t like these a cups.” Hermione said blushing as she looked down on her slightly rounded chest.

Kalista just chuckled at Hermione's request. She herself had been blessed in her boob size. She was a comfortable double D. For the past two hours she had bee working on the sketch, for anyone else she would have lost patients but she knew Hermione wanted new identity to be just so, so she could keep some of her parents features in her face and also add some of Kalista's so they really looked like sisters.

“Okay. What cup do you want?” Kalista asked her before she set her color pencil on the paper.

“A D cup. I don’t want Double Ds like you have but a D would be pleasant enough. Can you also make sure that I can keep my nose too. It was my mother's nose. But I don’t know how it is going to look with the other changes I have asked you to make.” Hermione said as she bit down on her bottom lip.

“Do you trust me Mione?”

“Yes.” Hermione answered without a second of thought.

“Then don’t worry. I won't have your face disproportional. And I will make sure you are every bit as beautiful as you are now. I’ll make these last few changes and you can tell me what you think. If it is still not to your liking than I will do it again. I’ll get this right for you Mione. I promise.”

“Thanks, Harry.” Hermione said as she hugged her best friend. “I think we should get use to calling each other by our new names that way we won't slip.”

“I don't think we will. If I took my glamours off right now I am pretty sure you will only see me as Kalista and not Harry. Just as I will see you as Krista and not Hermione once you wake up tomorrow.” Kalista said as she got back to her sketching.

“Will it be painful?” Hermione asked after a few minutes of silence.

“I won't lie to you. When my change happened it was the single most painful thing I had ever experienced in my life. But with Severus modified potion it won't hurt as bad.”

“Has he ever tested it? Does it actually work?”

“Yes. A friend of his had Aurors after him. The man was completely innocent but they wouldn’t believe him. Severus told him that it was experimental that he didn’t think it was ready to be used that he wanted to test it out first. The man didn’t care, he told Severus that he was willing to be the guinea pig for it. Because if it didn’t work than he was damned to Azkaban. Sev was really reluctant but he gave it to the man after he had me sketch up the mans identity. We already knew that it was only two ways the potion was going to work. By thought or by a physical image. The man wanted a change of gender and he wanted himself beautiful of course but moderately so. He wasn’t one to grab at attention. I did as requested. Severus gave him the potion with one last warning but the man didn’t care. He took it and I won't lie he suffered some pain but one of the properties in the potion puts you to sleep so you don’t notice it. In the morning he woke and looked like the image I had drawn for him. We didn’t expect it to only take several twelve hours of sleep because I was out for two days. But that was it. Two days later she went on her merry way. And routinely Severus checks up on her to see if the potion has caused any side effects. The woman is still healthy she's even met someone told them everything. They were married about four months ago and now they are expecting their first kid.”

“Has there been anyone else that he has tried it on?” Hermione asked Harry as she looked into the fire.

“A couple of people. They weren’t escaped criminals or anything they just wanted to get away from abusive spouses. It's all discrete of course everyone is bound by an unbreakable vow not to say anything about it.”

“Than how do they find out about it?”

“By hinting that Severus can help them. Before how he can even begin to tell them how he is to help them. The place is heavily warded, like it is now. And then they make a vow that under no circumstance and in no form of communication are they allowed to share what they have heard or seen even smelt and tasted and felt while here. Than they are given a strong potion that won't even allow them to share the memories of it with anyone. That two is a creation by Severus. The man is a potion genius. And I am officially done with this sketching well that is if you like it.” Kalista said turning the sketch towards Hermione.

“This is awesome Harry. And it is perfect. Perfect blend of who I am now and you and who I want to be. Thanks Harry.” Hermione said as she gave her a watery smile.

“You are more than welcome. Now go take it to Severus and he'll add it to the potion. I imagine that by now he is finished with the potion.”

~*~HPDM~*~

At noon one Hallows Eve Krista and Kalista Pavens walked up the Hogwarts lawn with their trunks floating behind them. They were some of the last of the students that will be staying at Hogwarts till the end of the school year to arrive. They had got a late start because Krista's transformation had taken a little longer than normal mostly because she had taken it so late. But neither cared for being some of the last to arrive. At this moment they knew that it was lunch inside the school. Given that the Ball was to be held today and other schools would be attending the school this year everyone would be required to be there so that they could see the the visiting students get sorted into their new house. So it was safe to say that they would be making a grand entrance. Which had them chuckling the whole way there.

“Kris,” Kalista said to her sister she had given her the nickname before they left Spinner's end. “What house do you want to be sorted into?”

“I don’t now, you?”

“Well I don’t want to be in Gryffindor, been there done that. I was thinking Slytherin.” Kalista said with a smile as they reached the castle steps.

“Then Slytherin it is my sweet baby sister.” Krista teased as she pulled Kalista's nose, than laughed.

“Just make sure you keep telling the Hat that is where you want to be.”

When they walked into the castle they were greeted by Filch. He grumbled at them then led them to the Great Hall where lunch was being held. Kalista grabbed Krista's hand and gave it a squeeze before the doors to the Great Hall opened. When they stepped into the Great Hall all went silent as everyone stared at them. Krista and Kalista could practically see the boys drooling at them as they made their way up to the where McGonagall was standing with the Sorting Hat in hand.

“Names Please?” She asked them.

“Krista Pavens and this is my sister Kalista.” Krista told McGonagall as Kalista looked around the Great Hall.

She noticed that the Great Hall had been magically extended and each house had been given two extra tables to fit in all the new students. She even notice that the teacher's tables had taken a few extra tables as well as professors. For a moment she allowed herself to look Dumbledore over. The man seemed to be engross in a conversation with Madam Hooch, but would look over Krista and Kalista for a moment before he focused all his attention on the conversation with Hooch. She looked over at the Gryffindor table she saw some of her old friends sitting there but what caught her eye was Ron. He seemed to be staring Krista down, much to her annoyance and when his eyes flicked over to her she made sure he knew it by giving him a disgusted look, before she turned away from him. When she looked over at the Slytherin table her eyes instantly connected with Draco Malfoy's. The Slytherin was practically undressing her with his eyes so much so that it made her blush before she turned away to pay attention to McGonagall.

“Well since you two missed the speech I will give you a quick version. First of I am Professor McGonagall, I teach the Transfiguration class here at Hogwarts. Basically this hat here will sort you into one of the following houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. For the remainder of the year you will be staying in the dormitories of those houses and follow their schedule. So Krista because I am assuming you are the oldest you will be sorted first.”

Hermione blushed, “I am the oldest.” she confirmed for McGonagall before she set on the stool.

She did as Kalista had told her and sure enough after the hat told her he knew who she really was but was not going to rat her out to the good for nothing Headmaster, which made her laugh, sorted her into Slytherin. The Slytherin table burst out into applause. Hermione just winked at them and stood aside so she could wait for Kalista to be sorted, before she made her way over to the table.

“Ms. Pavens you can go sit with your table now.” McGonagall told her as she motioned for Kalista to take a seat on the stool.
“I will Professor, I’m just going to wait for Kali to join me.”

“She might not be sorted into the same house as you Ms. Pavens.”

“I doubt it Professor. We haven’t been separated from each other since the day she was born.” Krista told her smiling sweetly at McGonagall who pursed her lips at her but turned her attention to Kalista.

Well Harry Potter we meet again, the Sorting Hat said to Kalista. Though now you are going by a different name. Can't blame you though kid. I to wish I could break away from the old bird. But no such luck for me, the Sorting Hat sighed as though he was lost in its own thoughts for a moment before it turned its attention back to Kalista. So what will it be this time my slippery friend? Will it be back to Gryffindor or will it be into the snake pit for you? And you need not worry I will not let Dumbledore know who you are even if he threatens me with fire. The hat chuckled Kalista laughed with it.

Slytherin please. I don’t think I could spend another moment with the Gryffindors I should have taken your advice the first time.

Might have saved you some heart ache but then again who knows. So it will be...

“SLYTHERIN!”

Once again the Slytherin table burst into cheer while the rest of the table groaned at their luck. Kalista smiled and winked up at her sister before she took her hand and they begun to make their way over to the Slytherin table.

When she looked over at the Slytherin table once again her eyes met with Malfoy's. He smirked up at her which caused her to blush before she quickly looked away from him. But not before he pushed Pansy and Daphne over so he could make room for Kalista and Krista to sit between him and Blaise Zabini.

“Want to sit next to Malfoy?” Kalista whispered to Krista as they drew closer to the table.

“Why the hell not?” Krista whispered back a smile on her lips.

“I want the seat next to Malfoy. You take the one next to Zabini.”

“With pleasure.” Krista giggled

“Do you boys mind if we sit here?” Kalista asked Malfoy and Zabini shyly.

“Not at all.” they said in unison, and a bit to quickly causing the both of them to blush and Krista and Kalista to giggle.

“Thank you.” the girls said as they took their seats.

“Kalista Pavens.” Kalista sad as she turned to Malfoy and offered her hand, which he brought to his lips and kissed causing her to blush.

“Draco Malfoy.” he told her before he let her hand go almost reluctantly
“This is my sister Krista.” Kalista said as she motioned to Krista who was engaged in a conversation with Zabini. “So Malfoy-”

“Please call me Draco.” he said giving her a sexy smirk.

“Draco, I don’t think your girlfriend is to happy with me commanding all of your attention.” Kalista said to him as she felt the heat of Pansy's glare on her face.

“What girlfriend?” Draco asked confused.

“The little brunette next to you.” Kalista said as she fixed herself a plate.

Draco turned to see who she was talking about, he had forgot Pansy was there beside him. “Who Pansy? She's not my girlfriend.” Draco as he turned back towards Kalista.

“Her death glare says different.” Kalista chuckled.

“Ignore her please she is always like that when I talk to girls. She's been trying to go out with me since fifth year but I have no interest in her.”

Before Kalista could respond one of the boys across the table spoke up, she recognized him to be Theodore Notts. “Pssh...that girls been trying to get with you since we were kids Draco. I just think fifth year she tried harder.”

“Kalista this is Theodore Notts one of friends.” Politely Kalista extended her hand towards him, which he kissed. “Theo this is Kalista. Next to her is her sister Krista.” Krista extended her hand towards Theo as well. “And over by your sister is Blaise Zabini.” Kalista just gave him a polite smile which he returned before she returned her attention back to Draco.

“I hear there is a Ball tonight.” Kalista said to Draco before she turned back to her soup.

“There is. Its for all fifth, sixth, and seventh years. It is also opened up to the visiting students.”

“That sounds fun. I had hoped I read the pamphlet right. But I don’t know anything about a Room of Requirements.” She said with a small frown, that was totally for show but Draco ate it up.

“I could be your escort if you would like?” He asked her. And before she could answer him Pansy shrieked.

“YOU SAID YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO THE BALL!” she yelled at him as she slammed her palm on the table. Her eyes were blazing and her face scrunched up in anger which did nothing but made her pug face look even worse.

“I never said I would take you Parkinson.” Draco said calmly as he turned to her. “I told you that I would think about it because I wasn’t entirely sure if I would be going or not. I also remember telling you not to wait on my answer because by the time I figured out if I was going to the Ball I would have probably asked someone else. That is no where near a promise.” Draco told her as he kept his face emotionless.

“But you are suppose to take me Draco! We are engaged!”

“Second correction, I am only marry you if I can not find a girl of my choice by the time I am twenty-one. Seeing how I am seventeen I plan looking for her up until the last hour of the time I am given.” Draco sneered at her. “And I will also appreciate it if you will stop telling people that we are engaged. Because I have no intention of marrying you even if I do not find the perfect woman for me. I would rather marry Ginny Weasley first.” Draco spat at her.

Kalista almost laughed when she saw the look of revulsion pass over Pansy's face before she looked at Draco as if he had lost his mind.

“You will marry that impoverish tramp before you would even consider marrying me?! She isn’t even pretty!”

“And neither are you. But at least Weasley has enough sense to hide her exploits and knows how to look like a lady and not a slut when in plain view of the public. She by some divine intervention has class that you couldn’t even begin to master because you are to busy keeping your legs open with no form of discretion.” Draco told her coldly. “You Pansy Parkinson are not fit to have the title Lady Malfoy and I will do everything in my power to make sure that you are never given it.”

To Kalista, Pansy looked absolutely humiliated and close to tears. In all the times while Kalista was here at Hogwarts she never heard Draco being cold to the girl. Every time she would see them they always seemed close, a couple. But apparently looks can be very deceiving, when it came to the two of them.

“You weren't complaining about my legs begin open when you were in need.”

For a moment Draco looked at her as if she had grown another head before he spoke to her, “Earth to Pansy, I am a guy. I’ll take any who is willing.” Draco scoffed at her. “I hope you didn’t think that qualified you as special. Besides even I was willing to have something with you, you have ruined that with your lack of finesse and fidelity. Now if you please leave me alone I am trying to entertain our guest.” Draco sneered at her before turning back to Kalista. “So where are you from Kalista?”

“New York. My family moved there from London when I was a kid.”

“Is that so. I don’t think I remember the name Pavens among the names of Pureblood families.”

“It isn’t. My sister and I are half-bloods. Her mother and my mother were witches, our father's mother was a muggle and his father a Squib. So in all honesty I don’t know if that actually classify us as Half- Bloods our just plain mudbloods.” Kalista said frowning at the thought. Then winced when Krista elbowed her in her side.

“Is that so?”

“Blood purity doesn’t matter to you does it?” Kalista asked Draco.

“No, I have learned from that mistake.”

“Good, because you might just be surprised as to what blood runs in my family, even if it is a bit muddled. But I have more than enough magical strength to make up for it.”

“And how is that?”

“Can't give away all my secrets at the moment Draco. Besides I am sure you will find out soon enough.” Kalista answered cheekily. “Are you participating in those Pureblood Tournaments that are being held mid-November?”

“If I do not wish to be disowned. My father is sending in me and two of my other cousins to represent the Malfoy Family.”

“Are you excited about it? I wish I could participate but they only allow us woman to sit back and watch. Shame really because I know I could give you men a run for your money.”

“So you are a duelist?”

“Very much so. I enjoy knocking my opponents on to their asses. Never lost a duel yet.”

“I may have to challenge you one day, to see if you are any good.” Draco said smirking at her. She could clearly see the amusement in his eyes.

“And if you do, what do I get for beating you?” Kalista asked teasingly.

“Anything that you want. But if I than win I want a date.”

“You don’t need to duel me to get a date with, Draco. You could just ask.”

“Then, I’ll have to take you up on that offer soon, very soon. But you still not have answered my question earlier, do you wish for me to take you to the Hallows Eve Ball?”

“I don’t know. If I say yes would you mind escorting my sister as well?”

“I think your sister has got that covered.” Draco said as his eyes flashed over to Blaise and Krista.

“Well if you don’t mind, than I would love for you to escort me.”

“Perfect, I’ll come for you at eight.”
