Ch. 6


"I'm already changing. I hate this. Why does everything have to happen to
me? Why can't it happen to someone else for a change."

"It is, you silly boy. Do you think so little of Draco and I?" He teased
the boy.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sev. I wasn't thinking again. It's just so hard to
concentrate at times. These glamours are really wearing, and I haven't
gotten back all my strength from the fight with Voldemort. And look at me."
He removed the glamours, and pulled off his shirt, and unzipped his pants
to reveal the rest of his stomach.

"I don't see anything different." Severus said after a moment's perusal.
"five pairs of nipples, whiskers, and I'm guessing your tail is in your
pants. No! Don't pull them off to show me." He said as he saw Harry's
hands move.

"No, feel." Harry grabbed Severus's hands and placed them on his pectorals.
"It's more sensitive. I think I'm becoming a," Squeak, "female. Or close
to one."

"Harry, I'm so sorry. I don't think the potion will work again."

"I know. I just wanted to talk to someone about this. I can't talk to any
of my friends about this. You never know who will blab and then I'll be
ostracized even more then I am now. As it is no one will give me a job,
because of the whole Voldemort controversy. As if it's my fault he didn't
really die all those years ago, and its my fault I couldn't become a
murderer sooner." Harry said bitterly. He put his glamours back on.

"Come here." Severus tugged the boy into his arms, "I'm here for you. So
are your friends even if you can't tell them exactly what's wrong with you."
He held him for a while until the sobbing had started to quiet some. Then
the door swung open.

"Sev…, Um sorry I uh didn't mean to disturb you. I'll leave." Draco
stammered, and turned to leave.

"Draco, it's not what you think."

"Oh yeah. You always hug half-naked students, do you?"

"Harry's a little depressed right now and I was comforting him."

"And he had to be undressed for you to do this?"

"No, you prat. He was showing me something that had changed about his
body."

"I don't see anything that looks unusual." Draco studied the body of the
sobbing boy being held by the Potions Master. 'I didn't realize Potter
looked so hot underneath his clothes. He's kind of skinny though. No
wonder Madam Pomfrey was making sure he ate.'

"That's because he has a glamour on."

"Oh."

Snape pushed Harry towards Draco and went to the door that hid the toilet
from the rest of the bathroom. "Here hold him, I need to go."
