This choice: They continue searching for a cure for their gigantification • Go Back... After seemingly hours of searching, nothing. Ron had by now shrunk to 9ft but Harry was still as big as he was.
"Hey, mate." Ron called out to Harry.
"Yes Ron?" Harry replied.
"When, or if, this whole giant wears off for you, maybe you could use it to your advantage and stuff," Ron suggested.
"Eh?" Harry answered him ith a questioning yet curious look.
"I mean, the first trial is coming up, right?" Ron explained(In this universe Ron quickly got over his initial anger and apologised before the first trial). "Maybe if use this book, you have a better chance at winnin'!"
"I mean, true, but I think people would notice me being Hagrid sized." Harry pointed out.
"What if we use a notice-me-not charm?" Ron replied. "That makes you seem normal, so if you do it out of sight and then cast it, people would think you've always been that way!"
"Merlin Ron, you're a genius!" Harry cheered to his friend. "We just gotta find a way to make me, well, go back to normal."
"Well let's keep lookin'," Ron exclaimed. "Maybe we're looking in the wrong place."

"Hey Ron, I might've found something!" Harry exclaimed, waving Ron over. When Ron came running over, he'd shrunk even further, down to 7ft in fact. It was still incredibly tall, but it was better than 9 ft and it was only 9 inches away from his actual height.
"What is it mate?" Ron asked as he was now looking directly up to his friend(otherwise he'd be looking straight at Harry's upper abdomen).
Harry proceeded to show a small(to him anyway)book that was open to about halfway through. "It's a page on ho to hasten and slow the effects of a spell."
"Uh, what doe that mean?" Ron questioned.
"Here I'll read it out to you." Harry replied. "In this page we'll discuss the spells Accelerare and Morabor. When casting Accelerare, it speeds up the effects of a spell/spells that were cast on an object or person. Morabar is the opposite, slowing down the effects of a spell/spells that were cat on a person or object."
"Wait, does that mean-" Ron began, but was cut off by Harry.
"It does!" Harry interjected. "All this time, we were looking for a spell that shrunk us so we were looking in the shrinking section when we should have been looking for this!"
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Ron asked. "Let's do it!"
Harry then grabbed his tiny wand from the table full of books and proceeded to point it at Ron, casting, "Accelerare!"
A bright orange beam shot forth from Harry's wand, striking Ron right in the chest. After that the effects, we almost instant as Ron could feel himself becoming more compact and Harry could see his friend slowly shrinking before his very eyes. After nearly 10 seconds he saw his friend back to his normal size, although he was still stark naked.
Then Harry pointed his wand to himself before saying the same, casting, "Accelerare!"
The effects were much, much slower that' for sure. Instead of shrinking an inch every second like Ron did, it seemed more like an inch every three seconds. It took two minutes of him slowly but surely shrinking down to his natural height of 5ft.
"Well, we're back to normal now." Ron smiled.
"But we're sort of naked." Harry finished.
At this point they had to get used to seeing each other completely naked over the past god knows how long, so at least it wasn't completely embarrassing.
"Now that we know we won't be stuck like this..." Ron began. "Let's see what else is in the book. The first trial is in a couple of days after all."
"Let's do it then." Harry shrugged. It was already night and they'd already put up protection around the library so that Filch wouldn't come in(or any teachers barring Dumbledore).
