A/N: Sorry it took a bit longer than I though. I had a lot of work to do. So here's the next chapter.

Chapter 2

Ryo and Dee had just finished their tenth and their last report of the day, when there was a sudden flash. The next thing they knew, they weren't in their office anymore, instead they were staring at a guy with glasses and messy black hair, who they had never seen before.

"So Remus, did it work?" James asked. Ryo and Dee looked at each other confused.

"Sorry, but who are you?" Ryo asked James, who in return looked puzzled and slightly worried. "Oh no, don't tell me the spell messed up. Sirius, what have you done?" James exclaimed glaring at Dee. "Huh? What? I haven't done anything and I'm not called Sirius. What the hell are you talking about? And who are you, huh? Answer Ryo's damn question." Dee yelled glaring right back at James.

"What? Don't tell me you got messed up too. Oh god, this is a disaster!"

"WHO ARE YOU?" Dee hollered, starting to get worried and losing his nerves. He didn't recognize his surroundings at all.

"I'm James, you're best mate! What is wrong with you, Padfoot?" James replied, starting to get seriously anxious.

"My best mate? I don't even know you. Where are we?" Dee yelled back.

"Dee, calm down. Yelling won't help." Ryo said, staring to get a headache from all the yelling. Thankfully he successfully calmed his partner down with his words.

"Dee? Okay, I'm confused here." James muttered.

"You're hardly the only one." Dee mumbled back.

"The spell must have messed up... Just great! Okay, so who are you?" James asked. "I'm Dee Laytner and this is my partner Ryo McLean, we are both detectives in New York City."

"I'm James Potter, sixth year Gryffindor. You guys are Muggles?"

"Muggles? What the fuck is that? And what the heck is a Gryffindor." Dee asked. James groaned. "Oh no, you are Muggles. Damn, I think we should better go to Dumbledore. Come on, follow me." Ryo and Dee hesitated for a moment, but then they both shrugged their shoulders and followed James out the room. Things couldn't go any worse anyway.

In New York City, Remus and Sirius had finished looking around the office. "Okay, I think it is safe to assume that the spell somehow messed up." Sirius said after a while. "Safe to assume? Sirius, have you looked into a mirror?" "What? No, why?" "Just do it."

Sirius walked over to a small mirror hanging on the wall, looked into it and nearly screamed.

"Oh my god, I'm old! And my eyes are green! And what the hell happened to my beautiful hair!" Sirius exclaimed. "We switched bodies with two Muggles. I look different too, though not that much. It's just my eyes who are a lot darker now, almost black."

"Damn, I didn't know that spell could backfire like that. What are we gonna do now?" Sirius asked nervously.

"Find out where we are." Remus replied and opened the door, stepping out into the hallway. "Do you think it's a good idea to leave the safety of the office?" Sirius asked his friend, who turned around to glare at him. "You're a Gryffindor, show some courage." "Okay, okay. I'm coming."

James had led Dee and Ryo through Hogwarts to Dumbledore's office. Dee and Ryo both looked around quite shocked to see the stairs, the portraits on the wall, actually pretty much everything move. Even the suits of armour seemed to move, because Dee could have sworn that one of the suits of armour had been winking at him as he had walked by.

Then of course the Nearly Headless Nick had floated by. Ryo had gaped after him, not believing what he had seen. What would be next, a vampire or even a werewolf? They had apparently reached their destination, because James came to an halt in front of a statue of a gargoyle. "Damn, I forgot I haven't got the password. We'll have to try a few things... sherbet lemon...Chocolate Frog...Bertie Bott's Every-Flavoured Beans?" James tried a bunch of sweets, but nothing happened. Dee and Ryo were looking at each other, wondering what the teen was waiting for, when suddenly the statue began to move upwards, revealing a spiraling staircase. "Hah, got it." James exclaimed and walked up, indicating the detectives to follow him. They reached a door and James knocked.

After a couple of seconds, the door opened of its own accord and the three stepped inside. Neither Ryo nor Dee had ever seen such a strange office before. There were weird objects lying around and there was also a big, golden bird, who suddenly burst into flames, only to be reborn in the ashes.

They walked inside and were greeted by a very old looking man with a long silver beard and half-moon glasses, which were held in place by a crooked nose.

"Good day, Mr. Potter. To what do I own this pleasure? Oh and hello to Mr. Black and Lupin as well." Dumbledore added, after seeing Dee and Ryo enter behind James.

"I'm afraid these two aren't Sirius and Remus, professor." James admitted. If he had hoped to stir a reaction in Dumbledore with that, he was sadly mistaken. "Would you care for a sherbet lemon?" he merely asked. James shook his head. "No thank you professor. I'm afraid the situation is too worrying for a sweet. You see, Sirius experimented with a spell. It was supposed to influence Remus' mind with one like Sirius', so that he could enjoy his holidays a bit more, but it ended up switching their bodies with two Muggles from New York." James explained. "Muggles, you say? What was the spell, Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore asked interested. James handed him the book Remus had been reading and showed him which spell they had used. "Ah yes, I'm afraid the spell didn't backfire, it simply did what it is supposed to do. Mr. Black apparently misunderstood its purpose. That spell switches minds with ones, that are similar to them. Could I ask for your names?" Dumbledore addressed Ryo and Dee. "My name is Randy McLean and this is my partner Dee Laytner."

"Partner?" Dumbledore asked, eyes gleaming. "At work...and in life too." Ryo said while blushing. "Interesting." Dumbledore mumbled, while James stared at them with interest.

"Professor, if they are similar to Remus and Sirius, then..." "Yes Mr. Potter, I believe that means exactly that." Dumbledore said smiling, knowing perfectly well what James was thinking.

"What? What does that mean?" Ryo asked perplexed. "Merely, that Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin share your taste, so to speak."


A/N: And info about the spell used. The spell allowes both Ryo and Dee and Remus and Sirius to still see each other when looking at each other, but when they look into a mirror or if somebody else looks at them, they see the other one.
