It was a stormy night at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft & Wizardry, and the sound of thunder above the castle filled the hallowed halls of the school grounds while many of the students were in bed, with the exception of two Gryfinndor students.
Obviously, one of the students was Harry Potter, the boy who lived, sneaking down to the Gryffindor commons room while his bunkmates were sound asleep. However, the other student awake at this hour was a less evident suspect when breaking the rules set at Hogwarts. Much to the contrary, she constantly followed every rule to the letter and often scolded students who violated them.
The second student awake at this untimely hour was Hermione Granger, a Muggle-Born Witch who seemed to be an expert in all things where magic was concerned. Despite being in her first year at Hogwarts, the 11-Year-Old girl was an excellent student and excelled in all subjects, attaining skills that some students didn't learn until well into their third year at the wizarding academy. One of which she was about to use on Harry.
Hermione turned down the girl's staircase, her wand at the ready. After hearing a strange noise coming from the downstairs commons room. And she was outraged to find Harry dawning his Invisibility Cloak in his continued efforts to explore the castle unseen.
"Harry! What do you think you're doing?" She yelled softly, not wanting to start a commotion as she scolded Harry for his continuation of illicit activities.
"Hermione? What are you doing out of bed?" Harry asked, turning to see his friend dressed in her pajamas, wand in hand.
"I'd ask you the same question! Harry, you could cost us points by exploring the castle at night, or worse, you could get us both expelled." Hermione panicked, remembering the school rule that started that students who knew about illicit activities could face similar punishment if they didn't come forward to alert a teacher.
"Both?" Harry asked, hardly seeing how Hermione could get expelled for something he did.
"Yes, both. Hogwarts has very-strict regulations about students being out of bed at this hour for a reason." She declared, realizing her only options were to stop Harry or tell Professor McGonagall what Harry had been doing.
"Hermione, it's none of your concern. I won't get caught." Harry tried to reassure Hermione, gesturing to his Invisibility Cloak as he wrapped it around his torso, giving him the appearance of just a floating head in Hermione's presence. However, while his body was no longer visible, the same wasn't true for objects and doors he might interact with along the way, a risk Hermione wasn't willing to take.
"Harry! You can't." Hermione warned.
"Watch me," Harry responded, defiantly tossing his Invisibility Cloak over his entire body, his presence now completely hidden as he turned to make his way out the door.
Hermione quickly acted on instinct, doing the only thing she could think of to stop Harry from leaving, furiously flourishing her wand towards the door. And then, finally, she pronounced the incantation clearly and calmly.
"Reducio." Hermione's voice called out behind Harry, cold as ice. A shiver traveled down his spine upon hearing the young witch speak. And then it happened, a bolt leaped from her wand, striking Harry from behind and instantly affecting him.
His body instantaneously shrunk, as a result, reducing him to the humbling size of only one inch tall, along with his Invisibility Cloak, which could barely pass as a tissue for Hermione to blow her nose.
As he looked forward, Harry could see that the commons room had grown to a gigantic scale, making him very nervous to look behind him, concerned with how much bigger Hermione would appear, given his diminutive state.
"Harry, where did you go?" Hermione asked, looking for any sign of her tiny friend as she took a single step forward, unsure of where the freshly shrunken wizard wound up. She had to be careful to watch her step, trying her best to avoid something she couldn't see.
*Boom*
The rumble of Hermione's footstep assaulted the floorboards beneath Harry, compelling them to shake and tremble under the force of her footfall. A nervous sweat appeared on Harry's brow as the realization dawned on him. She still couldn't see him!
Harry turned to face his fears, determined to see just how tall Hermione was compared to him before he removed his Invisibility Cloak. She was massive! Hogwarts brightest mind towered over him as if she were a human skyscraper.
Her slippers alone were each big enough for Harry to live inside and call his home, dozens of times larger than that shabby closet he used to call his home inside the Dursley's house. Hell, her feet alone might have been even more enormous than the Dursley's house.
Her legs alone were a hundred feet long apiece, supporting her immense frame as she scanned the floor for any sign of Harry's whereabouts. Unaware that she was practically standing right on top of him, one short misstep away from doing what even Voldemort was incapable of doing, putting an end to the boy who lived.
"Come out now, Harry! I won't ask a second time! Do it before I stand on you accidentally!" Hermione boldly announced, her stern voice terrifying the tiny boy into complying. And it wasn't a vague threat or some random possibility either. It was a promise. Hermione wouldn't give up on her search until she found Harry or stepped on him by accident.
Harry quickly yielded to Hermione's demands, tossing his Invisibility Cloak off to the side and running out in front of the giant girl's feet.
"Oh, there you are." Hermione courteously declared, the cold echoes of her monotone voice sending shivers down Harry's spine as she leaned forward, presumably to pick him up.
He felt like a bug, watching the way in which Hermione spread her fingers out around him. Blocking off any escape attempt he might try to pursue before her digits pinched him from the front and back, quickly depositing him onto her giant palm as she raised him hundreds of feet into the air in seconds.
"Well, what should I do with you now? I can't very well let you off the hook with a warning. Clearly, I'll have to punish you in order to discourage bad behavior such as this." Hermione declared, scowling at the tiny boy in her hand.
What does Hermione have in store for Harry?
1. Hermione sits on a nearby couch, removing her slipper and stocking before dropping Harry into her sock, with the intention of leaving him in there all night with her barefoot.
2. Hermione eludes to the fact that Harry can really be a pain in the butt to deal with sometimes, deciding it was only appropriate to introduce him to her butt up close and personal.
3. Hermione is tired and does want to deal with Harry's nonsense for a second longer, dropping Harry in the first place she can think of, down the front of her knickers. (No insertion- chapter will be deleted)
