Harry Potter and the Magic of Books Part 13
🕑 Added 2016-06-16 03:29:11 +0000 UTC Lily felt a little guilty about obliviating most of the last decade and change from her sister’s mind and stunning her but she’d gone rather hysterical when Harry had sent Dudley into a military training manga. Besides, she wanted her sister to have a chance to make something decent out of herself. “Now what?”Harry pulled the Loliblade from his backpack and slipped the bracelet on Petunia’s wrist. He stepped back as magic swirled around Petunia and consumed her clothing as it transformed her from the rather unattractive thirtysomething housewife into an attractive mostly naked dark haired busty girl of thirteen. “Huh, I guess that means taking off your clothes first is a must.”
James frowned at the tiny metal g-string the girl was wearing as well as the alien metal claws and strange almost liquid metal that covered most of her hands. “I’m suddenly glad that you decided to stun her.”
“Yeah, I can’t see her not freaking out,” Lily replied.
Sirius looked away from the nearly naked teen. “She’s actually cute, it’s disturbing.”
Hermione stepped forward and carefully removed Petunia’s g-string which changed back into the bracelet form of the Loliblade as soon as it left Petunia’s flesh. The claws and metal on her hands evaporated away. “She didn’t change back which means our idea should work.”
“I guess that means we send her to the magic academy with Merlin.” Harry opened the book Merlin and His School Field Trip to Atlantis then jumped into it with Petunia.
Lily said, “I hope we’re doing the right thing.”
Sirius gave Lily a rueful smile. “Family is always messy.”
James pulled Lily into a hug. “She’ll be okay.” He wasn’t sure he actually believed that her sister would be okay but Lily needed to believe it.
Hermione said, “You can always check on her once we get everything squared away.”
“Thanks,” Lily replied.
Remus spoke up, “Not to rush things but if we’re going to do this, it’s getting dark and the moon is coming out.”
Hermione handed the bracelet to Remus. “You should probably head to the kitchen and change into a conjured robe or something.”
Remus grumbled as he headed toward the kitchen with the bracelet. “I still can’t believe I’m going along with this crazy plan.”
Sirius waited until Remus left then drew his wand. “Just in case.”
Remus conjured a robe then set it on the counter with his wand. He quickly stripped out of his old and worn clothes and dropped them to the floor. He doubted this would actually work but at this point he was willing to try a lot to deal with his curse. He slipped the bracelet on his wrist and felt his body shrink a couple of inches as he changed into a thirteen year old girl. He glanced down in amusement at his decent sized breasts. “The person that created this was a pervert.”
Sirius called out from the living room, “Did it work?”
“I’m a girl if that’s what you’re asking about-” Remus screamed as the moon rose enough for his curse to activate and his body tried to rip itself apart as his curse and the the Loliblade fought against each other. ‘He’ collapsed on the ground screaming in pain as his limbs twisted and tried to twist and reform themselves in ways they were never designed to bend. Thankfully after twenty agonizing seconds he felt a wrenching in his very soul and felt something break. His screams died as the pain receded and he found that he could think. He pushed himself to his knees and felt his tail brush the counter. He sniffed and found his sense of smell even better than normal though not as good as when he was a wolf. He stopped as he realized that certain details didn’t add up. He glanced back over his shoulder and noticed that he had a wolf tail though the rest of him looked human enough.
Sirius called out, “Are you still alive?”
“More or less.” Remus pulled himself up using the counter for support. He still felt a little shaky but at least the pain was gone. “If I go crazy be ready to stun me.” He picked up the robe and walked back to the living room.
Hermione blinked in surprise as the door opened and a cute scantily clad girl with a wolf tail and wolf ears walked in carrying a fluffy robe. “You’re a wolf.”
Remus replied, “It looks like it.”
James asked, “How do you feel?”
“Clear headed which is a miracle.”
Sarah conjured a mirror or at least the illusion of a mirror so that Remus could see what he looked like. “Not too shabby.”
Remus looked at his wolf ears and tail in the mirror. “Hopefully the ears and tail aren’t permanent.”
“I don’t know, you look like you’d make a good pet.” Sirius held up his hands when Remus growled at him. “Okay, too soon?”
“Yeah, just a bit.” Remus replied as he turned and looked at ‘his’ behind. “At least I’m a cute wolf girl…” he shook his head.
Sarah laughed. “I’d fuck you.”
Hermione said, “Don’t mind her, she’s a nymph.”
“What? She’s hot. You should probably take the bracelet off.”
Remus frowned, “What if I turn back?”
“If you turn into a werewolf we’ll drop you with a sleep spell but I don’t think you will,” Sarah replied.
Remus pulled on the robe then grabbed the g-string and pulled. He sighed in relief when he didn’t change into a beast as the Loliblade turned back into a bracelet. “I’m still myself.”
Sarah giggled as she looked Remus over. “And still a hot wolf girl.”
Harry reappeared out of the Merlin book. “Remus?”
Remus sighed as he looked at his almost but not really familiar features in the mirror. “More or less.”
“At least it’s a partial cure. Let’s travel to the temple and get your curse broken.” Harry pulled the module with the temple out of his backpack and set it on the table.
Remus tossed Harry the bracelet then turned and headed into the kitchen. “Let me grab my wand.”
Harry pocketed the bracelet as he waited for Remus to get back before he reached out with his magic and pulled everyone into the book.
Remus shivered slightly as he felt his ears twitch and change as he changed back to his ‘normal’ girl form. “It must not be the full moon here.”
James looked around with an amused smile on his face. “I can see why you like the temple.”
Lily blinked as she looked around the temple at all of the naked girls. “I think you left a couple of things out of your story.”
Harry shrugged innocently. “They’re really good at healing people.”
Hermione smiled at the cute priestess that walked over to them. “Greetings.”
The naked priestess looked over the party. “What can I help you with?”
Hermione gestured toward Remus. “Can you cure him of diseases and curses, please?”
“Of course, it would be my pleasure.” The priestess smiled as she looked at Remus. “For a price.”
Harry asked, “How much?”
“Five hundred gold or lots of sex with her.” She pointed at Remus.
Remus blinked, “What?”
The priestess grinned at Remus. “We’re a temple of sex and I want to fuck you repeatedly, until you’re glowing. It’s been way too long since you’ve had sex.”
Remus opened his mouth then closed it. “Ah…”
“I can pay the five hundred gold if you want,” Harry spoke up.
Remus looked at the rather attractive young lady, it’d been a long time since anyone had looked at him like that and if he was honest, he liked it. “Save your gold Harry.” He walked over and held out ‘his’ hand toward the young lady. “Can you really cure my curse?”
“Let’s see.” The temple priestess gestured and a warm glow flowed over Remus dispelling any curses, diseases and magic on him or around ‘him’ which included his conjured robes. “All better, no more curses or diseases, now let’s fuck like bunnies.”
Lily shook her head as the priestess led a naked Remus away. “I’m not sure if this place is cute or disturbing.”
Sirius pulled his eyes off his friend’s butt with a chuckle. “I’ll go with disturbing.”
Hermione said, “It’s a bit of both. Remus should be here for a while so we should probably figure out a plan for enrolling everyone at Hogwarts.”
“We could send a letter to McGonagall and say we just moved here or we could tell her the truth. I have a feeling that she wouldn’t mind being thirteen again.” Lily smiled as she thought about her old head of house as a teenager.
Sirius shrugged. “We should probably do that before we use the Loliblade or she’ll never believe us.”
James laughed. “I don’t know that she’ll believe you anyways.”
Harry asked, “Why not?”
Lily mock glared at James and Sirius. “Your father and Sirius were pranksters in school.”
Hermione frowned as her watch beeped. “That’s my ten minute warning for my Mum getting home, we should head back or at least call.”
“Let’s head back and clean up everything at the Dursleys, I want to introduce my parents.” Harry looked at James and Lily. “If that’s okay?”
Lily said, “Of course it is. After that we can figure out a long term solution.”

Mrs. Granger glanced back and forth between Lily and James once the introductions and explanation was done. “Let me get this straight, Harry brought you back from the dead? Something that should be impossible even for the magical world?”
“Basically yeah.” Lily wasn’t going to mention the various dark rituals that were supposed to bring people back from the dead because they rarely worked out well and most required some lingering bit of soul to still be on Earth.
Mr. Granger glanced at his wife then back at Lily and James. “In that case, congratulations are in order. Do you have a place to stay?”
James shrugged. “I was planning on renting a room at a hotel for a couple of days while we make the cottage liveable.”
“We have an extra guestroom if you want it.”
Lily said, “That would be appreciated, we’re trying to limit how much we have to interact with the magical world until we’ve talked with a friend of ours so we can set up our new identities.”
Mr. Granger asked, “What about just telling everyone that you faked your death and have been out of touch for ten years?”
James shook his head. “People saw our bodies…” he trailed off as he considered the idea. “Actually, he’s right. The only one that actually saw us die was Voldemort, it’s not exactly hard to create fake bodies.”
Lily asked, “Does that mean we’re not going back to Hogwarts?”
Sirius spoke up, “We should do both.”
Harry chuckled. “A bit of magic and you could shift back and forth.”
“We’d have to tell McGonagall the truth otherwise she’d hate us for abandoning Harry.”
Lily shrugged. “We’d have to show her the inside of a book, something strange that we couldn’t fake with magic.”
Hermione said, “Science fiction would probably work the best.”
Mrs. Granger said, “Or something else impossible.”
Harry yawned.
Mr. Granger yawned. “I think it’s contagious.”
Lily said, “We should let you get to sleep.”
Hermione said, “I’ll show you to the other guest room.”

The goblin stared at James in shock. “You really are a Potter.”
James laughed, “I wouldn’t claim otherwise if I wasn’t. I want two vault keys and a trust fund key and I want any other keys out there destroyed.”
“That will be a five galleon fee.”
“That’s fine,” James replied.
“Is there anything else?”
Lily spoke up, “I’d like to see a record of any transactions since our apparent death and a report on our various investments.”
The goblin nodded. “That will be fifteen sickles.”
Lily scowled at the goblin. “I’m starting to think that we should bank with the gnomes of Zurich.”
The goblin grumbled, “Fine.” as he opened the folder and showed Lily the reports.
James said, “While she’s checking over the reports, I want to go to my vault and retrieve a couple of wands.”
The goblin reached out and pulled a rope attached to a bell. “I’ll have someone take you down to your vaults.”
“Thank you,” James replied.

Sirius looked up as Harry and Remus appeared out of the book. “New clothes, new hair style and you look way more relaxed Moony.”
Remus laughed as ‘he’ sat down on the couch. “I feel better than I have in ages. Now if I could just talk Harry into giving me the belt that would let me change back into a male, my day would be complete.”
Hermione giggled. “I don’t know she looks rather cute as a girl.”
Harry laughed as he pulled the gender swapping belt out of his backpack and handed it to Remus. “Yeah, no, I mean he does but yeah, just no. Here.”
Remus put the belt on and shivered slightly as his body changed from female to male. “How long do I have to keep this on?”
Sirius tilted his head. “I think I liked the female look more.”
“It was fun but I miss being able to pee standing up.”
Harry laughed. “You should be good to take the belt off.”
Remus took the belt off and handed it back to Harry. “Thank you.”
Harry put the belt back in his backpack. “Can you still shift to your wolf form or did you lose that when they broke your curse?”
“I can still shift.” Remus shifted into his female wolf girl form then looked down at ‘his’ breasts. “I’d wondered if the belt would affect this form…”
Sirius laughed. “Best of both worlds.”
Hermione giggled. “I’ll say.”
Remus rolled his eyes then shifted back to his ‘normal’ form. “It’s better than being stuck as a werewolf.”
Sirius said, “You can’t tell me the temple girls didn’t like your wolf girl form.”
Remus blushed as he remembered just how much the temple girls liked his wolf girl form. “You’re a bad influence.”
Sirius gestured toward Harry. “Blame Harry, he’s the one that found the temple in the first place.”
Harry shrugged. “I happen to like naked girls and they’re good at what they are.”
Hermione looked over at the door when she heard a knock. “That’s probably McGonagall.” She walked over and checked the spyhole then opened the door. “Hello professor.”
McGonagall glanced over at Sirius and a young man that looked suspiciously like Remus Lupin had back in third or fourth year. “What’s going on?”
Sirius asked innocently, “What, we can’t just call up our old professor for a friendly chat?”
“You can but did you?” She stepped inside and shut the door.
“Well… we’re in a bit of a pickle…” he trailed off as Lily and James appeared out of thin air in the middle of the room. “Ah, right…”
McGonagall stared at James and Lily in shock. “This isn’t funny.”
James snorted. “It’s good to see you too professor.”
“Polyjuice?” McGonagall asked with annoyance as she drew her wand and pointed it at Sirius. “This is a poor joke even for you Black.”
Sirius snorted. “I wouldn’t joke about James and Lily coming back from the dead or at least not like this.”
“Someone better start explaining.” McGonagall stated firmly.
Harry asked, “Would you believe we used two ancient scrolls of resurrection?”
“Considering that should be impossible, no.”
Lily asked, “Would it make you feel better if we swore an oath that we were Lily and James Potter?”
“Marginally… if you really are who you claim to be, how are you alive?”
Harry sighed dramatically, “Why doesn’t anyone believe me?”
Hermione snickered as she walked over and hugged Harry from behind. “I believe you.”
“That’s because you helped me cast the spells that brought them back.”
Sirius said, “I swear they really are who they say they are.”
McGonagall sighed. “I think you should start at the beginning.”
Harry looked at Sirius and his parents. “How much do you trust her?”
Lily said, “We trust her.”
“In that case, I can pull things out of books, that’s where I go monster hunting, that’s where I got the gems I used to pay for my supplies and that’s where I got the resurrection scrolls.”
McGonagall looked down her nose at Harry then looked back at Sirius. “Did you put him up to this?”
Harry looked at Sirius. “Mum wasn’t joking about you being an incorrigible prankster was she?”
James laughed. “Not in the slightest but I’d like to think we’ve grown up slightly.”
McGonagall asked, “Is that why you still look like you did the last time I saw you?”
Lily said, “Yes.”
“And you’d swear an oath to this?”
Lily said, “Of course.”
“Why tell me?” McGonagall asked curiously.
“Because we need your help.”
“With?”
Lily said, “We have a way to become eleven again and want to attend Hogwarts to make sure Harry stays safe and sound. You’re the Deputy Headmaster and control admissions thus we need your help enrolling.”
McGonagall asked, “Let’s ignore the fact that you’re asking me to bend the rules to the point of breaking them, what makes you think that Hogwarts isn’t safe?”
James asked, “How many of the students are the children of Death Eaters?”
“A few.” McGonagall admitted.
“Exactly.”
Lily said, “I’ll be blunt professor. We just came back from the dead. Harry is eleven, I missed ten years of his life, I’m not sending him off to Hogwarts for nine months if I can’t go with him. It’s not going to happen which means you either take all of us or none of us.”
Sirius said, “Which means you get to explain to the wizarding public why Harry Potter isn’t going to Hogwarts.”
McGonagall scowled as she realized how bad that would look. “Assume for a moment that I’m willing to help, how are you going to fool the sorting hat and everyone into thinking you’re eleven?”
Lily said, “We don’t have to fool the sorting hat if you either ‘sort’ us early or bring us in late the first day. As for how we’d fool people into thinking we’re eleven, ask Remus.”
McGonagall turned and looked at Remus. “What do you mean?”
Remus smiled. “Hello professor.”
“Remus? How?”
“An artifact that changes a person into a thirteen year old girl then a gender swapping belt. For the last two years, we’re thinking of using a disguise item or possibly two special youth potions that would reduce our age by a year each.”
McGonagall blinked in surprise. “Wait, you’re saying you can reduce a person’s actual age?”
“That’s what we’re saying.” James smirked. “Do you want to be thirteen again?”
McGonagall frowned as she considered her options. “Assuming I believe you, I’d be out of a job if I did that though I have to admit I’m tempted.”
Sarah spoke up, “Nah, the disguise items could keep you looking like your normal self. All the perks of being thirteen again with very few of the disadvantages.”
Sirius laughed. “Just think of the Quidditch team, James and I were exceptional and we have the rest of summer to make sure Harry and Hermione are exceptional.”
McGonagall paused as she considered Sirius’s suggestion. “Considering how badly the Slytherins beat us this last year, you’ve got a deal if you can prove who you are to my satisfaction.”
James asked, “We’ll swear oaths if that makes you feel better.”
“It would.” McGonagall looked at Harry. “I’d like to hear more about your ability to pull things out of books.”
“I can show you a couple of things.” Harry walked over to the end table and picked up a clothing catalogue. He flipped through it until he spotted a cute green silk dress. “Nothing up my sleeves.” He reached his hand into the catalogue and pulled the dress out of it. “And presto.”
McGonagall stared at Harry in surprise. “Conjuration at eleven?”
Lily shook her head. “The objects are permanent and he can pull food out of books so I don’t think his ability works the same way as our magic.”
“I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting year. Can we start with the oaths so I can put my wand away?”
“That might be for the best.” James replied.
“And I’ll want to hear the rest of the story.” McGonagall stated firmly.
