Chapter 1
"Stupid...Malfoy..detention..potions," Ginny muttered under her breath while adding another potion to the cauldron.
"I'm not exactly ecstatic about being here with you either Weasley," Draco drawled.
"Yeah, but you're the reason I'm here," Ginny said dangerouly.
"I didn't know he'd give you detention with me," he said casually.
"If you hadn't run into me and made me late for potions none of this would have happened," Ginny ranted.
"You're making this even less pleasant, if that's possible," Draco said.
"Good!" Ginny said, finality in her tone.
Draco added a few more ingredients to the cauldron and left it to simmer. Five minutes later a resounding 'boom' echoed through the dungeons. Many of the Slytherins jumped in their common room, and took a few minutes to compose themselves again.
When Ginny awoke she was facedown on the floor in the dungeons, smoke billowing around the room and making almost impossible to see. Out of the gloom stepped Snape. Ginny Groaned.
"Are you alright?" the potions proffesor asked, looking genuinly concerned.
Ginny nodded, surprised.
"Miss Weasley get up this instant!" he snapped at another figure on the floor. Ginny got up quickly surprised.
She looked with interest as the other figure sat up, rubbing its head. As soon as it came in to focus she realised it was herself.
She gaped at her body for a moment and her body gaped back.
"What the Hell is going on?" Ginny asked and clapped her hands over her mouth. Her voice was deep and male, definetly not her voice.
"Oh no," Ginny's body said, putting its head in its hands. Ginny realised it must have been Draco, as she seemed to be inabiting his body.
"Care to enlighten me on what happened here Mr. Malfoy?" Snape asked.
"Messed up with the potion, need to get to the hospital wing!" Ginny said. For once Snape didn' t argue with her. Being Malfoy did have its advantages. Snape just nodded and looked only a little surprised when Ginny grabbed Draco's arm and pulled him to his feet.
"Come on Weasley," she said as malevolently as possible.
As soon as the door slammed Draco asked, "What the Hell happened?"
"I don't know," Ginny said flatly.
"Where are we going?"
"Dumbledore's office," she answered.
Draco groaned. "Why do we have to go there?"
"Where else do you suggest we go?"
Draco didn't answer.
When they got to the stone gargoyle Ginny muttered, "Fizzing Wizbees," under her breath and led Draco up the moving staircase. Ginny and the Golden Trio had been kept up to date with all of Dumbledore's passwords because of all of the stuff that had been going on with Voldemort lately. She knocked politely on the door and entered.
"Ah.. Miss Weasley...and Mr. Malfoy, now this is a surprise." His eyes were glinting mischivously and he didn't look surprised at all, "What brings you to my office this fine evening?"
"He has my body," Ginny shreaked, pointing at Draco.
"What do you mean Miss Weasley?"
"We switched boddies," Draco said calmly.
"Ah...What were you doing when this occured?"
"We were making a potion and the cauldron exploded," Ginny whined. Draco glared at her. Malfoys didn't whine.
"What kind of potion were you making?" Dumbledore asked.
"Some kind of truth potion," Draco answered, shrugging.
"I see, truth potions are very easy to mess up."
"Well what do we do?" Ginny asked.
"The only cure I know of takes thirty-two days to brew," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Thirty-two days," Draco said dangerously, "I cannot be a Weasley for a month. I am expecting something of importance from my father this month."
Ginny looked up curiously.
"It's the only way," he began, "Oh.. and I think it's best if you don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend to be eachother, even around the teachers"
"But.. why?" Draco asked.
"It would be to confusing if anyone new," His eyes looked more mischivous than ever and Ginny couldn't help feeling that this was one of those things he did to teach students 'lessons'. "Now I suggest the two of you go breaf eachother on your lives and then go to bed. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a trying day for both of you."
They left together without so much as another word until they were sitting in the empty Transfiguration classroom.
"Okay my life," Ginny said, deliberating on what to tell him, "My full name is Ginevra Molly Weasley," She began," Don't want you screwing that up. My best friends are Luna Lovegood..."
"Looney?" Draco cut her off looking deligheted.
Ginny glared at him, "Don't call her Looney!" she hissed.
"Fine," he drawled, the humor not yet gone from his eyes. "And by the way, what you did just then was a perfect impression of me."
She continued as though he hadn't interupted. "My best friends are Luna Lovegood and Colin Creevy. I'm dating Dean Thomas," Draco cringed, he had to date a guy, "I am not really friends with the Golden Trio, but we do talk. My mom will probably send you some fudge." She added thoughtfully."Oh and I don't drawl. It just doesn't work for me.
"Great... just great," Draco sighed. "Okay my life," he contemplated this for a moment. "My full name is Draco Lucious Malfoy. I don't show emotion. My best friends are Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zambini. I'm not dating anyone at the moment. If you get any letters from my father I know you'll read them, so just give them to me after you've read them, and please do not screach, scream, yell, or shout while you have control of my body." Ginny nodded.
They both walked to the dorms their boddies belonged. Sure it would be an interesting month.
A.N. So that's the first chapter. What do you think?
