Chap. Two: The Big Idea
Ron lay on his bed, besides him the dorm was empty and he was staring up at the ceiling as Harry walked in. "Hey Ron, don't be so down, it's not like anything was taken away, your exactly the same as you were just an hour ago."
"Yeah, exactly the same. Minus the fact that for one small moment I could taste victory! I could feel the nimbus two thousand and five in my hands, I could see myself flying around the Quidditch pitch on the fastest broom ever made, being admired by all as the greatest Keeper ever to enter Hogwarts!" Ron sat up with a dreamy look in his eyes.
"Ron, you are the greatest Keeper ever to enter Hogwarts! You've broken tons of records!" Harry began reasoning with him.
"Good point," Ron grinned, "but I still really want that broom! There's no way I could afford it, heck, I doubt even you could afford it Harry!"
"Yeah, it would be awesome to have that broom…" Harry now had the dreamy look in his eyes as he imagined how fast he could catch the snitch a nimbus two thousand and five.
"Harry?"
"Yeah…?"
"I think I've got a plan!" That snapped Harry out of his daydream and he now looked intently at Ron.
"I'm listening." Harry replied very interested.
"Okay, here it goes. We can't use the Polyjuice potion, it only lasts an hour and we have no idea how long this thing is gonna last. But, if we use that transfiguration stuff we've just learned, to transfigure our hair and clothes and faces so that we look like Parvati and Lavender, we might be able to pull it off!"
"Hmmmm… we'll have to convince them into not joining themselves of course…"
"I didn't think about that… that'll be difficult…" Ron lowered his head.
"Hey! We don't have to worry about that yet! They'll sign up and then on the day of the competition we can just… poison them or something." Harry said encouragingly.
"Yeah, alright." Ron said with renewed hope. "We should practice transfiguring though, we can do it tomorrow morning while everyone is at breakfast. If I win the contest, I'll share the broom with you and visa versa, deal?"
"Deal."
And so, the next morning during breakfast Harry and Ron practiced transfiguring themselves. Harry was Parvati and Ron was Lavender. After they had finished, neither was quite satisfied, as Harry's hair may have been the right length and color, it was still as untidy as ever. As for Ron, his hair still had a tinge of red in it and his freckles absolutely refused to fade.
"Agh! Harry man, I don't know if this is gonna work, look at me!" Harry turned to look at the frustrated Ron, while he did his best to get his hair to sit flat, and as he did so he couldn't hold in his laughter.
"You look hilarious!"
"Speak for yourself Harry!" Ron retaliated as they looked over each other. Pretty soon they were both laughing and pointing out each other's flaws and doing their best to fix each other straight.
"Look Ron, your freckles just won't go away, you'll just have to use make-up to cover them up or something."
"There is no way I am going to wear make-up!"
"Ron, this is a beauty contest, we are going to have to wear make-up anyway!"
"Maybe I didn't think this plan out to well…"
"Well, let's go see if anyone falls for our disguises, they should be back from breakfast by now, and then we can contemplate on the plan."
Ron agreed and the two reluctantly opened the door of their dorm and headed down the stairs. The common room was packed and as soon as they stepped into view everyone burst into laughter. Hermione, who had been reading a book in front of the fire, looked up to see what everyone was laughing at. At first site she was confused. What are Parvati and Lavender doing coming from the boy's dorms? She thought. Then she rubbed her eyes bringing them into focus; she had been reading for the past couple hours straight.
"Harry? Ron?" She then burst into laughter herself as Ron and Harry sulked over and sat beside her on the floor.
"That noticeable, huh?" Ron sighed.
"Just a little Ron, I can't believe you gave up breakfast to play dress up!" She smiled amusedly at them. "Do you really want that broom so badly as to humiliate yourself in front of everyone?"
"Hermione, we weren't playing dress up and I would willing humiliate you to get that broom, of course I would humiliate myself!" Hermione was a bit confused at the comment, does that mean that he cares more for me than himself? She thought. She shook her head and punched Ron in the shoulder.
"But," Ron continued while rubbing his shoulder, "that doesn't really matter, just because I'm willing to humiliate myself doesn't mean that the Professors would be willing to let me. They would notice who we really were and kick us out the second that they did." Ron said seriously. Hermione was now staring at the feminine looking Ron and doing her best to keep a straight face. She then burst out laughing.
"I'm…sorry Ron…. I just can't…take you seriously…when you look like that!" Hermione managed to say between laughs. Ron looked hurt for a second and then he grinned slyly.
"What are you grinning at?" Hermione said finally managing to regain her control. Ron leaned in to give her a kiss as if to answer her question, but Hermione jumped up before he reached her lips.
"What are you doing?" she shouted.
"Trying to give you a kiss." He shrugged as if it were no big deal. Harry sat back and laughed.
"Not looking like that you aren't." She said as she pointed at him. Ron frowned.
"I didn't think you were into looks Hermione…" Ron said as he stood up and dramatically threw his now long hair over his shoulder. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Well, that's obvious if I go out with you!"
"Oh, ouch, she told you Ron." Harry commented.
"Humph!" is all Ron could say before he saw the shining Prefect badge pinned onto Hermione's robes. He smiled as he remembered when Hermione made the S.P.E.W. badges, more commonly known to him as spew. That gave him an idea and he turned sharply and looked down at Harry.
"Come on Harry, let's untransfigure, I've got another plan." With that he left towards his dorm with Harry following closely behind, he wanted get back to normal as soon as possible, but he was afraid that Ron's next plan would be worse than his first.
A/N: Hi everyone, sorry this chapter is kind of short, but of course so was the last one. I'm thinking about bringing Ginny into the next chapter. Sorry y'all, but Ron and Harry aren't going to enter the competition by dressing drag, I actually really wanted to, but I just couldn't think of a good enough way to pull it off. Don't worry though, I still have some ideas up my sleeve! Oh yeah, R/R!
