Holly's bath

        Ron must have cleared out the common room, because when Emily and Holly got there, then common only had a few people in the corners, none of which bothered Holly. They probably still here because they were hoping to get a first look of girl Harry. But, sense none of them bothered the two, Emily didn't care. Harry, or rather, Holly, wasn't so careless. She knew that once people got sight of her, the rumors would start to fly, and once that happened, it would be long till the prophet caught wind of it. Holly thought she might actually die when the prophet come out with an article about her gender change. Especially since they were likely write it in a way that was either horrible or perverted.

        "First things first, we need to get you some clothes that will actually fit." Emily said.

        "I'll get one of a spare sets." Holly said, trying to look for any way out of her future's now grim outlook.

        "Holly, those are boy clothes. You're a girl now." Emily reminded.

        "I know that. We can charm them down to size."

        "You mean you're going to make me charm them."

        "I don't see why I can't keep wearing my own clothes."

        "Fine. Let me know how that works out for you."

        Holly began climbing the stairs to the boys' dorm. She got a quarter of the way up to the first landing when stairs collapsed and Holly slid down.

        "See. You're a girl now, not a boy. And girls aren't allowed in the boys' dorm."

        "You were."

        "We were twelve. I was a neko. Right now, I can't get up there any more then you can."

        Emily climbed the stairs to the girl's dorm. She stopped at the first landing and looked back to Holly.

        "Come on, you can use some of mine."

        "I'm not wearing those!"

        "You think you get a choice?"

        Holly grumbled to herself as she climbed the stairs to the girls' dorms. She got a quarter of the way up to the first landing before the stairs collapsed and Holly slid down.

        "Great! I should figured that would happen."

        "What do you mean?"

        "The boys' dorm won't let you up because you have the body of a girl. The girls' dorm won't let you up because you have the mind of a boy. You're sort of stuck between genders, meaning neither dorm will let you enter."

        "So, what now, I just don't get new robes?" 

        "Nice try, sis."

        "Not sure I'm comfortable with you calling me 'sis'."

        "Well get used to it. For now, go wait in the washroom, I'll be down in a minute. Ron, don't let anyone in there while Holly's in there." Emily said, then disappeared up the stairs of the girls' dorm. Holly turned on her heels and walked in the Griffindor tower's washroom.

        Holly knew the moment Emily reached the door to the Griffindor tower's washroom, because she could hear Emily shouting at the rest of their school house.

        "If any of you even try to come in here while I'm washing my sister, I will hex you so hard you won't remember your own name!"

        Emily entered the washroom and slammed the door closed. Emily didn't bother charming the door locked, Emily didn't make idle threats. She did however put a silencing charm on the door so no one could overhear them.

        "Lucky I pack plenty of spare sets of clothes in my trunk." Emily said, holding two sets of girls' robes and underwear as well as her bush pack. "I also brought a clean set for myself. I figured it was best if I wash with you, that way I can make sure clean everywhere properly. And don't start with the whole you know how to wash. I feel like I've said this all lot today but, I'll remind you, girl bodies are not the same as boy bodies."

        "I am not wearing those." Holly said, pointing to the clothes Emily was holding.

        "Holly! You are a girl! Girls wear the girl robes! And if you think this is bad, just wait for when I dress you up in dress for this year's balls, the first of which is in a month."

        "I'll probably change back by then."

        "Holly, you are my sister, yes sister, and I love you. But you know how long it took me and Hermione to change back during our polyjuice mishap in second year. More then a month. I quite doubt you'll be normal in time for the Halloween Ball."

        "I'm still not wearing those."

        "Holly, so help me, I will freeze you if that's what it takes to put you in these clothes. And if I have too, I will charm them so that only me or Hermione can take them off you. So, like or not, this is what you are wearing. Now strip."

        "You're going to make me put them on now?"

        "Of course not. I'm going to clean you first. And that takes nudity. Now strip."

        "Emily!"

        "Holly. You can either strip on your own, or I can hold you down and make you strip."

        "I think..."

        "Nope!"

        Emily jumped Holly and started wrestling Holly's clothes off.

        "I was going to say...."

        "I don't care! You were taking too long!"

        Once Emily had gotten Holly nude, she grabbed the old robes and took them to the door before Holly could try and put them on again.

        "Ron! Take these up to your dorm and put them into Holly's trunk."

        "Who's Holly?"

        "Harry. Pomfrey said since Harry is a girl for now, she should have a girl name. Sirius said our mum was going to name him Holly if he had been a girl, so we decided to call her Holly until she changes back into a boy. Now can you please put these in her truck before she trys to use them as an excuse to not wear girl clothes."

        Ron snickered.

        "Don't you even start, Ronald. Or I will **** you to wear the same clothes. And I won't do you the courtesy of turning you into a girl."

        "Fine. Give them to me."

        "Thank you. And if Hermione comes back before we get out, please send her in here, I'm not locking the door."

        "And I'm joking about hexing anyone who even touches this door while me and my sister are in here!"

        Emily closed the door and walked back over to Holly. As she did so, Emily began taking off her outer robe and tops. By the time Emily had reached Holly, she was topless say for a bra.

        "Holly. Before we get you washed there is something I want to try."

        Holly turned around to see Emily's lack of top.

        "Emily!"

        "Oh, really Holly? You've seen me nude. I've seen you nude. Both as a boy and as a girl. And now you freak out because you can see my bra?"

        "Why are you topless."

        "One, I'm wearing a bra, so I'm not topless. Two, I told you, I want to try something."

        "You're topless because you want to try something?"

        "Oh my.. Fine! just fine."

        Emily pick up her vest and put it back on.

        "There. Happy, Miss prissy?"

        "Hey, that was uncalled for."

       "Don't like me referring to you as a prissy girl, stop acting like one. Besides, what I’m about to try requires you to be nude, an me not to have anything on my arms. I’m going attempt a form of primal magic I’ve never tried before. Clothes would only get in the way and it harder. So stop acting like a baby and hold out your hands. If it makes it easier for you, you can close your eyes while I do it. In fact, while you’re at it, close your mouth too, I’ve had enough back talk from you today, young lady."

        "You don’t have to treat me like a child."

        "Don’t like it? Start acting your age, AND gender. And if you keep back talking me, you will wish I was only treating you a child. Don't think I will hesitate to use shadow magic to turn you into the child you are acting like. Now shut your mouth, young lady, and give me your hands."

        Holly closed her eyes and held out her hands. Emily took Holly’s hands in her own and closed her eyes. Violet/black phoenix fire spiraled down from Emily’s bare shoulders to her hands, then crossed over to Holly’s linked hands, then spiraled up Holly’s arms, then down her body and legs, and up over her neck and head.

        "This feels weird."

        "Shush"

        Flashes of images raced through both Emily’s and Holly’s minds. Holly couldn’t make any sense of the images. As quickly as the images came, they were gone.

        The phoenix fire around Emily’s arms and Holly, vanished. Holly slumped to the ground.

        "Harry, I mean Holly, are you okay."

        "Not the word I would use for that. What were you doing? It felt like I was holding onto a portkey. I couldn’t let go if I wanted to, and believe me, I wanted to. And what in the world was those flashes?"

        "I told you I was attempting a bit of primal magic. I wanted to see if I could figure out what wrong with you by using my phoenix fire. I've tried attempting to do a primal level phoenix spell, guess it was more exhausting then I thought it would be."

        "Wait isn't supposed to be impossible to do primal magic?"

        "Supposed to be? Yes. Supposedly it was the original method magic used in the beginning. Supposedly, the art was lost as the teaching were passed down and new kinds of magics were discovered. But, remember, my phoenix fire originally comes from a phoenix that was old enough to recall the origin of all things including the origin magic and its original spells. So, I only had to let my phoenix fire do the spell for me. It's quite useful when your magic is nice enough to tell you how to use it. And hey, the spell worked."

        "It did! Wait, those flashes? Is that what it's like when..."

        "When I get my visions, yes. Now come on, we need to get you bathed."

        Holly knew something was wrong. It wasn't the 'creeping feeling in the veins' kind of wrong. Rather it was the 'my sibling is hiding things and trying to change the subject before I figure it out' kind of wrong.

        "Emily?"

        "Don't worry. Tomorrow I'll take Hermione and we'll try to get you some things that are quite as girly as mine are."

        'Is she compromising?' Holly knew that Emily only did that as a means of keeping someone from digging into something further. 'So, she's hiding something about what she about me in her vision. Not only that, but now she's compromising. Which means what ever she saw is bad. Which means I need to find out about this as soon as possible.'

        "Emily, what did you see?"

        "Holly, I..."

        Holly grabbed onto Emily's shoulders before Emily could weasel her way out of the conversion again.

        "Emily, what, did, you, see?"

        "YOU'RE NOT CHANGING BACK!"

        "What?"

        "You're going to change back. Not now. Not ever."

        "I....What?!"

        "What ever you did to that polyjuice potion, it completely wrecked your magical essence. Not only did that botched potion invert your aura, turning you into a girl, it altered you aura, preventing your aura from being reinverted. You can't back into any boy, let alone the one you used to be. As far as you aura is concerned, Harry the boy, never existed. Holly the girl, is all that's left."

        "No. There has to be a way to fix this."

        "Harry! I mean, Holly. The level of magic need to rewrite your aura, it's beyond us. We're talking reality controlling magics, like chaos magic, or annihilation magic, or rejuvenation magic. Basically realm of the gods stuff. The kind of magics mortals are allowed to mess around with. Or, at lest, I've never heard of a mortal with that kind of power. We could ask McGonagall. But, someone with enough power to make life or undoing it, let alone rewrite life, I'm pretty sure we would have heard about that. It would pretty big new in our world."

        "But...But.."

        "There is nothing we can do. Now come on. Since it looks like you're be stuck as a girl from now on, you should start learning how to act like on. And that starts with not smelling like a boy."

        "Yes, mum."

        "You take that back right now!"

        "Sorry, Em."

        "If our mum was here, she'd slap you for having said that. And if you back talk to me again, I'll do what our mum was never here to do and spank you. Don't think I won't."
