The Domino Effect [DRARRY]

14.

Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short. Wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's OK to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, 'cause you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you. What it feels like for a girl - Madonna

"Mr. Potter, you will come with me," Severus Snape ordered as an extremely tired-looking Harry Potter entered the Great Hall for breakfast.

Harry just shrugged his shoulders, cast a quick questioning look over to the Slytherin table at Draco, who shook his head as if to say that he had no idea what it was about, and then followed Snape out of the room while the students left behind began to buzz with questions.

As he followed, Harry began to realize where they were headed and couldn't help but smirk to himself. He knew that Madame Pomfrey would be at a complete loss as to what to do with Goyle. The spell he'd used was one he'd only recently found in one of Salazar's books. There was a counter spell, of course, but he was the only who knew it, and if they thought they were going to bully him into fixing Goyle, they had another think coming.

"In here, Potter," Snape bit out as he held open the door to the medical ward.

"Yes, Sir," Harry replied and walked into the room.

In the far corner, still huddled in the bed, Gregory sat. He was silent, watching with apprehension as Harry made his way across the room toward him. He still wasn't sure what to think of his current situation. True, he wasn't too keen on remaining a woman, but faced with the option of being turned back and having to go back to Voldemort, especially after hearing what had happened to his father, he was beginning to think he could live with having tits.

As Harry stepped up to the side of the bed, Snape came around the other side so he was facing Harry; Goyle on the bed between them. "What did you do to him, Potter?"

Harry snorted. "Fairly obvious, isn't it? I turned him into a girl."

"I can see that, Potter, what I want to know is how you turned him into a girl! And how to turn him back," Snape replied with obvious frustration. It wasn't like he didn't think the boy deserved punishment, but this could get Potter expelled.

"I found a few interesting spell books and this was in one of them. I can reverse it, but I don't know if I want to," Harry said, and then lowered his voice, "After what he did to me, why should I fix him?"

"Potter!" Snape hissed and looked from Harry to Greg and back again.

Knowing that he had just exposed Severus, Harry quickly took back the memory of his words from Greg's mind. He shot Snape a look when the other man lifted an eyebrow in question of his actions.

"Forget you saw that," Harry said and then erased both the words and the action from Snape's mind as well.

Snape blinked and then looked at Harry. "What do you mean you don't know if you want to? If you know the reversal, I demand that you use it this instant!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No, and you can't make me."

"Fifty points from Gryffindor! And detention with Filch for a week!" Snape roared.

"Still not fixing him," Harry replied.

"I'll see you expelled for this Potter!"

"Go ahead, try it and see what happens," Harry calmly replied.

The silent young woman on the bed looked from one furious man to the other and cleared her throat. "Um, Professor Snape? Can I maybe talk to Potter alone for a minute?"
