Veelas and Syreni in Terra
Changes
Chapter 4- Changes
Hermione Granger hit the stop button on her treadmill and stepped off of it, wiping the sweat off of her face with the towel hanging on the edge of the machine. She was at the gym down the street from her house, finding that she enjoyed keeping up her physical strength and endurance in anticipation for the upcoming battle. She found that much easier to do as of late as well, the pounds seeming to just drop off and muscle taking its place. Ever since I turned 17, my body has worked with me so much better!
She made her way over to the mats sitting in the corner and sat down to do her strength training portion of her workout. She completed a combination of sit-ups, push-ups, and various other exercises, and then sat down and took a drink of her water. As she was looking around, she noticed that almost everyone in the gym was looking at her, the looks varying from glances to outright stares from some patrons. Do I have something in my teeth? Did I rip my pants? Why is everyone looking at me?
She quickly stood up, cleaned off her mat, and then made her way into the gym’s loo to look at herself. She couldn’t see anything wrong, so she decided to cut the rest of her workout short and just head home.
When she got home, she stepped into her bathroom, stripping and turning on the shower. Before she got into the shower, she looked at herself for a minute, appreciating the way her body had changed over the past year. Her breasts had filled out, filling her hands, but still proportional to the rest of her body. She had a very classic hourglass figure, with a skinny waist and full hips. What she loved the most, though, were her muscles. She had a six pack, and had nicely defined muscles everywhere else. Yeah, she still had fat to fill out her breasts and butt, but other than those two areas, she barely had any fat anywhere on her body. She had figured out some spells to make her previously unruly hair behave, so her brown hair now fell in pretty curls down close to her butt.
Her examination of her body complete, she stepped into the shower, washing her hair and body quickly. She grabbed her wand from its place on her bathroom counter and quickly reapplied the shaving charm to her legs and underarms, before examining her pubic hair. She had never really shaved this area, choosing to keep it clean and well groomed rather than hairless, but she had the overwhelming feeling to shave all the hair off. Deciding that it didn’t really matter, she cast the shaving charm to this area too, pausing to admire her newly shaved and smooth mound.
Her shower being done, she stepped out and grabbed a fluffy towel and robe, drying her body off before wrapping her hair in the towel and donning the robe. She grabbed her wand and walked into her room.
As she entered her bedroom, she suddenly became aware of a shadowy figure sitting on her bed. Screaming, she threw curse after curse at the figure, only to have them all deflected. She started to panic and throwing harder curses at a faster pace, when she finally heard the figure begin to speak.
“Miss Granger! Stop this instant!” Hermione instantly stopped throwing curses, but did not lower her wand, deciding instead to question the figure to ensure its identity.
“When I was turned into an animal my second year of school, what animal was it?”
“A cat.” Professor McGonagall calmly answered her question. When she had been hospitalized, the only people that knew what had happened to her were Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Madame Pomfrey. Hermione lowered her wand.
"Forgive me, Professor, I wasn't expecting guests. Can I get you anything?" Hermione asked, suddenly awkward facing her favorite professor in a robe.
"No thank you, Miss Granger. Why don't you get dressed and then we can talk?" Professor McGonagall smiled at her, walking out into the hall and closing the door behind her. Hermione rushed over to her closet and haphazardly grabbed some clothes, a comfy pair of jeans and one of Harry's old Quidditch jerseys. She grabbed her wand and quickly cast a drying spell on her hair, then walked over to her door and opened it, inviting Professor McGonagall inside.
