Draco's P.O.V;
When they say lunch and entertainment, I think Harry has taken it as a challenge. But I'm glad she let me eat before she started on, what did she call it again? Karaoke? Pluss dancing.
Honestly I'm glad she said she was joking, if not I would be just as freaked and green as the rest of the hall. But I think the-old-ding-bat is most shocked by the fact that it's a muggle song, if I hadn't known I would be just as freaked as the rest of the purebloods. I think they are shivering in fear, but the muggle borns and half-bloods are either smothering there laughter or looking apprehensive.
But Harry is having the time of her life;
"Now I'm gonna eat you, fool!
I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch, Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood, Carnivore animal, I am a cannibal, I eat boys up, you better run
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am) I am cannibal (Cannibal, I am) (I'll eat you up) I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am) I am cannibal (Cannibal) (I'll eat you up)
Whenever you tell me I'm pretty, That's when the hunger really hits me, Your little heart goes pitter patter, I want your liver on a platter
Use your finger to stir my tea, And for dessert, I'll suck your teeth, Be too sweet and you'll be a goner, Yup, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer"
A boy suddenly said to me: "your sister she is really off the deep end is she not?"
I cannot help but add dryly while leaning on one hand: "I thought we established that yesterday."
Draco's P.O.V;
We are now in DADA and we are going to find out what our fears are. The professor that name I currently do not remember brought us a boggart today, yippie…
Harry seems to be happy though, not that I understand why. I mean her fears could be everything from Voldemort, to basilisks to dementors …
She walk no, hurries no, strides no …she bounces over to the professor and asks to go last?
Is she gonna try to kill it?
The professor then announces:" Class you will all get one chance to cast the spell on the boggart, don't fret if you don't manage at first but if the class is to do it on time we need a little extra time because Miss Parker has offered to try to stop the boggart wandless."
At that I could hear the hissing of whispers in the room and bets where placed.
We all lined up and I zoned out until it was my turn and I easily beat the boggart that is something I learned as a Malfoy they always get top marks.
A few more students went and now it's Harry's turn. She took out of her robe pocket a mini speaker she found in a break from class, when she was wandering the hall back and forth until a door popped up out of the wall, she took a peek and there she comes with that thing and an explanation for it.
She puts the speakers thing on the floor and presses play, she walks over to the boggart and it turns in to a dementor, the others have mini freaks out at the sight of it. Harry… Harry just grins at it.
And then, she starts singing:
"When I was a little filly
And the sun was going doooooown"
A students says:" Tell me she's not-"
"The darkness and the shadows
They would always make me froooooown"
I say: "She is."
"I'd hide under my pillow
From what I thought I saw
But Granny said that wasn't the way
To deal with fears at all"
Severus: "Then what is?"
She said, "You gotta stand up tall
Learn to face your fears
You'll see that they can't hurt you
Just laugh to make them disappear."
Harry (spoken):» Ha ha ha!»
"Soooooo...
Giggle at the ghostly
Guffaw at the grossly
Crack up at the creepy
Whoop it up with the weepy
Chortle at the kooky
Snortle at the spooky
And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just make you wanna... He he he ha ha ha,"
She just killed the poor boggart.
"Laaaaaaaaaaaaugh"
The students and teacher is gob smacked, but the professor manages to say:" 50points to you Miss Parker."
Draco's P.O.V;
We are now in divination trying the technique Pyromancy. And today I learned never ever give Harry anything to burn. Especially, if she manages to get the flames to have rainbow colors.
And here is her prophesy:
"Now a rainbow's tale isn't quite as nice,
As the story we knew of sugar and spice, with a rainbow it's easy once you get to know it
With the help of the magic of a device, Let's delve deeper into rainbow philosophy
Far beyond the far reaches of mythology, It's easy to misjudge that my pretty
With its alluring decor and social psychology, But with all great things comes a great responsibility
That of being the rain of stability, How, you ask, are they up to the task
To which the answer is in a simple fatality, when your fears and horrors come true,
And where not a single soul gets unchanged through."
I just need to say, I think somebody just fainted, poor, poor, poor professor who never saw it coming.
Harry's P.O.V;
We finally arrived to the last class of the day, the Gryffindor/ Slytherin potion class otherwise known as the recipe for disaster. "Oh Lookie Drey, it's that potion!"
"What?" she says and turns the head to the board where Slughorn wrote the name of the potion we are making.
"Now isn't that irony?" I say.
"Somehow I know that has a bad omen." Drey says.
Severus adds in:" Why do you think so?"
Drey says:" let's just say if you mess it up, you're in for one wake up call."
"It's true it happened to us, but it will be fine if you can just smile."
Drey looks at me and says:" you're insufferable, Harry."
I just give her a hug and say: "I love you too Drey."
We for once managed to work in tandem and get the potion right. But Severus weren't as lucky because James(dad) and the others threw something in it. And smoke started spilling out. But it seemed to disappear in the air.
I start laughing at him while saying: "You Baka you botched it, have you any idea what you just did!"
Drey adds:" I don't think we have that good of a ventilation system."
"Oh Drey, Take it easy piecey pumpkin pc, he gotta face it in the mornin'."
Severus says:" Do I want to know what you are talking about?"
"Why spoil the surprise?" I say grinning.
Drey just adds:" you're going to find out sooner or later. Just be sure to get an appointment with madam malkin for tomorrow. You're going to need it.
The morning starts brightly with shrieks of terror. Harry and Drey wakes up and looks at each other.
"Ah just like home, with auntie Tuna, Dudders and uncle Ver-nom." Says Harry.
"Are you serious? You wake to scream every morning?" says Draco.
"Sirius is my godfather." Harry says happily.
"Ha-Ha very funny Harry, it was so funny I forgot to laugh."
"Well, let's go meet the rest of the school!" Harry says ignoring Draco's dry comment.
"It seams the potion only works once." Says Draco when she looks to finds out she is still a girl.
Harry's P.O.V;
We walk up in to the great hall seeing everyone in a panic, even the teachers.
"They look like a bunch of headless chickens." I say.
"Dose headless chickens move?" Draco says.
"Yeah they do due to muscle contractions." I say matter-of-factly.
"Creepy…" Draco says, and it looks like she is contemplating becoming a vegetarian.
I role my eyes at the apparent catastrophe and summon a megaphone.
"Cover your ears Drey." She does what I say.
"ATTENTION!" I yell through the Megaphone and the sound waves bounces of the stone walls in this apparently really good acoustic room and the sound is deafening.
"hm figures, so that's how Dumbles dose it." Draco says as the only one, whose ears aren't ringing.
"This gender change is a side effect due to a potion that on purpose was destroyed by our own resident marauders. it is not reversible as far as the ministry knows. Now that you all know complaints will be taken in Dumbledore's office now and out the day. The password is peppermint sticks. If the gargoyle won't let you in just threaten it with drawing on it. Otherwise have a nice day." Says Harry informatively.
And with that everybody but Drey and I stormed to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore was irritated. And by irritated, he-she was furious. That Parker girl, the dark haired one, had grated her final nerves. It had all started with those lemon drops. How could she have figured it that he laced his lemon drops with a calming draught and truth serum? Not many could figure it out except those that were very powerful and even then, they couldn't.
Then both Parkers had the nerve to get sorted in not one, but two houses. To rub salt on the wound, they got sorted with the houses that had the worst rivalry: Gryffindor and Slytherin. He was then stumped on how he couldn't get a feel of the two's magical signature or why he didn't have that surge of power. The Headmaster pulled her head out of her dark musings and looked at the chaos in front of her.
"What are we to do?" yelled one student.
"How are we to adjust to our new bodies?!"
"Harry said this could be permanent, is it true?"
"Wait until I tell my father about this, Dumbledore!"
A few seconds later, Albus just simply could not take it anymore; she opened her mouth and bellowed.
"QUIET!"
Silence fell throughout the room.
"Now, from what I heard and all possible antidotes that have been tried have proved that this potions accident is permanent. In order for all students at Hogwarts to adjust to these changes, I have decided that instead of going to Hogsmeade, we would go to Diagon Alley." Dumbledore stated.
This seemed to calm the students a bit and they walked out, but their voices were nervous now.
"Sarah, how do I look?"
"I'm not sure Mum and Da will like me this way."
"When I said I wanted to be different, I didn't ask for this!"
Albus simply wanted to bang her head on the desk and curse Harry Parker to the deepest pits of Hell. But, she couldn't, instead she popped a few lemon drops, sucking on the sweet, tangy flavor. She immediately calmed down and had a feeling she would need to refill her bowl of the Muggle sweet for a while. The next few weeks will be chaotic.
It was decided that instead of visiting Hogsmeade everybody got to visit Diagon-ally, so they could buy new clothes that would fit them.
Harry nudged Draco in the shoulder." common Dery let's go visit Gringotts."
And harry drags with her Draco to the bank. And with the hustle and bustle of the rest of the students, they easily blend in to the crowd.
When they get to the bank they are pleasantly surprised.
"You gotta love 'em goblins ehy?" Harry says happily to a gaping Draco.
The rest of the students who went to the bank too, was either ecstatic or didn't know what to do.
It was like the whole place was suddenly full of high-tech machines and lots of other muggle inventions running on magic.
There was even music coming out of speakers in the high sealing.
Harry began to sing along to the music playing and" jumping «around like she was dancing jump-style.
"Check this out!"
Come on, North to the South, From the East to the West, Then every boy and every girl, Why don't you just feel blessed
Can you feel it, Boys, Can you feel it, Girls, Now let me see that in reverse, Welcome to the universe
Ready to rock, Ready to play, Ready to jump the galaxy, Ready to dance, Ready to move, Ready to feel the g-g-grove
Are you ready? Beam me up (X2) destination unknown.
The rest of the students and teachers seam even more confused at that. But the goblins began to clap. And Bogrod came up to Harry.
"It's a pleasure to have you back Ms Parker; we must thank you for all of this. And might I congratulate you on a wonderful performance."
"It's a pleasure, Bogrod, I love what you have done with the place."
"Thanks for the compliment Ms Parker. Will you and your sister please come with me for your appointment?"
"Oh that sounds grate Bogrod, and thanks for setting it up on such short notice, I cannot thank you enough."
"Oh it's our pleasure Ms Parker; after all I'm sure you will be our nr.1 customer. You were after all the one who found out about the money theft here. We goblins are grateful for your help and you will be given a money award for helping us out Ms Parker."
"Oh that is really too much, I only told you a suspicion. You really don't need to Bogrod."
"Ms Parker we goblins insist."
"All right then, but on one condition."
"Might I ask what that is Ms Parker?"
"Please call me Harry that's all I ask."
He smiled to harry and said:" that can be easily arranged Harry."
"Thank you so much Bogrod, I really appreciate it."
And with that Harry, Draco and Bogrod left the yet again stunned wizards and witches that are close to getting heart failure due to too many shocks to their system.
GENDERBENDER CATASTROPHE - IS THIS A PLOT BY YOU KNOW WHO by Rita Skeeter
It seems that Hogwarts has suffered from a major upsetting in the school. What is it? I, Rita Skeeter, your trusted Daily Prophet reporter, will find out.
This major upsetting in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was caused by a sabotaged potion that due to poor ventilation changed the gender of all the students and staff including the Wizarding World's epitome of the light side Ablis Dumbledore. Earlier the day of when the change occurred, an unidentified source told the school along with a humorous threat to one of the Headmaster' s property and I quote:
"This gender change is a side effect that was purposely destroyed by our very own residential Marauders. It is not reversible as the Ministry knows. Now that you all know this, complaints will be taken in Dumbledore's office now and throughout the day. The password is Peppermint Sticks. If the gargoyle won't let you in, just threaten to draw on it. Otherwise, have a nice day."
Because of the abrupt change, today the students have gone to Diagon Alley to receive new robes and cloth so to adjust to their new bodies.
But the part that worries me and the Wizarding World the most is the fact that could this all be a plan by Voldemort? Could he have hired these 'Marauders' to bring distress and chaos to allow more time and blind us while he gains more power and followers?
Luckily, somehow I managed to get an interview with the dark Wizard that may witches and wizards fear...Lord Voldemort.
The interview:
Q:
Well, it seems that You-know-who is against technological advances and is a supporter of nature and personal freedoms. Also, to our relief that the group known as the 'Marauders' were not dark witches/wizards hired by HIM, but instead a group of students who love to pull pranks. The most disturbing part of this interview is that in the picture below, we see He-who-Must-Not-Named running and skipping screaming 'embrace yourself', 'support the nature movement', 'join the Resistance', 'love the new you'.
This is a strange new development with You-Know-Who. What is the Resistance? What is the Nature movement? Does Voldemort have ulterior motives behind this genderbending catastrophe? I, Rita Skeeter, will find out more for the good of the Wizarding World.
Harry's P.O.V;
We walked in to Bogrod's office and he gestured for us to sit down in the chairs in front of his desk. I noted that he had a computer; I want to see they try to fake files now.
"Bograd I know goblins are honorable, and I want to tell you something private. But this must not be told to the wizards and witches of any nation or they will go all bonkers. "
"I understand Ms. Parker. We goblins will not divulge this information to the mages."
"you see Bograd me and Drey here are dimension travels by accident. We managed to botch a potion similar to the one plaguing Hogwarts that the moment.
We have been sent in to a dimension where we not only end up the opposite gender but also where tech is at the same place in time as out time but our parents are still kids. "
"That's quite peculiar."
"I will allow you to to make us take blood test to show you that we are indeed not lying. And our real names are…."
I guessed for Draco to talk; "my name is Draco Malfoy son of Lucius Malfoy and Narsissa Black. "
"And my name is Harry Potter son of James Potter and Lilly Evans." I say grinning.
Bograd smiled and said:" this will prove to be interesting."
Harry's P.O.V
After my talk with Bogrod I must say he did a wonderful job spreading the word about this song and the attendants' amount is tremendous.
"everybody ready?" I yell to the crowd of magical beings and humans.
I began clapping my hands, singing and dancing together with all of them:
"Hey, hey, everybody! We got something to say,
We might seem as different, as the night is from day.
But if you look a little deeper.
And you will see
That I'm just like you and you're just like me! Yeah!"
The ministry workers are practically hanging out there windows, at the commotion.
I wonder if they saw the announcement on the muggles news or in the papers. They after all think this is a filming of a musical.
"Hey, hey, everybody! We're here to shout,
That the magic of friendship is what it's all about.
Yeah, we thought they were different, as the night is from the day.
Until a magical sparkle helped us see another way."
I see some muggles have started to mingle with us, well, the more the merrier.
So get up, get down. If you're gonna come around.
We can work together helping gathering that crowd.
So get up, get down cause it's gonna make a sound.
If we work together singing it out loud.
Hey, hey! Hands up now!
We're sending a message to the crowd!
Hands way up, then come down.
Then we'll party together all around.
Generous. Honesty.
Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty.
Magic helped us each to see...
...all that we can be! So...
So get up, get down. If you're gonna come around.
We can work together helping gathering the crowd
So get up, get down cause it's gonna make a sound.
If we work together helping sing it out loud "
Deep breaths, Harry, now time for my solo.
"I'm gonna be myself, no matter what I do and
And if we're different yeah, I want you to be true to you
If you follow me, we'll put our differences aside.
We'll stick together and start working on fixing that divide. "
"Sing with me everybody!"
"Jump up, make a sound (hey). Stomp your feet, turn around.
Start now, make a change. Gonna come around.
Jump up, make a sound (hey). Stomp your feet, turn around.
Let's turn the ministry's rule around!"
They seem shocked, what did they think we would do? Go to war?
"HAHAHAHAH…. Do you want an encore?"
Minister Millicent Bagnold was surprised at this event but she figured that better this than a civil war, and she could admit maybe that they had an idea. She was a Ravenclaw so she knew if she could sit down and think this through it could maybe work and who was she to say that they haven't got the right to 'inalienable right to party' when it something important happening.
Dolores Jane Umbridge however weren't as pleased with this and stated screaming when she got out in her horrible get up, it seam she keeps the same horrible style for at least 17 years.
When her screaming died down someone shouts:" Cut! , grate job everybody now let's move to the next location for the movie shot!"
I giggle to myself I hope the camera is still rolling their faces are priceless.
