Chapter Seven- Completion (full Circle)
(Today is Tuesday. My most hated day of the week. Really, it's just there! Not at the beginning of the week, not in the middle of the week just a day.
It's nothing like Thursday where you are actually looking forward to Friday.
Come on, who looks forward to Wednesday, crazy people that's who! No one but crazy, Russian, axe murderers look forward to Wednesday, and they are far from sane.
To make this Tuesday even better I'm stuck in class, and, oh, how I despise class!
I still can't believe I'm stuck in school. I dodged this bullet for almost 13 years and now I'm hit!
Viper looks to in the same boat, even though he's actually been to school before. Though, that was a long time ago, and it wasn't a school of magic, but I'm getting off topic…
In this class we've recently gained a seating chart. We're all 16 to 17 years old. I'm sure we're old enough to sit where we want!
Though, there was that one accident a couple of weeks ago…
Anyways Viper looks like he's about to fall asleep, and Deuce is diligently taking notes. I blame her for this whole situation. It's her fault we're even here! I could have been doing something better with my time. Like training, instead of sitting here getting fat and out of shape!
I'm almost as bad as the potions master!
I don't want to become like him!
Although, those extra chins would be good for hiding things, think of all food I could smuggle out of the Great Hall! Then I'll get fatter, and I'll be able to smuggle more food!
What a vicious cycle…) I thought turning back to our blimp of a teacher, shaking my head at his misfortune.
"I bet he could fit babies under his chins!"
(I thought, well at least I thought I thought. Apparently I had said it out loud earning me some scandalized looks.)
I turned to my potions partner. Wait, since when did Sirius become my Potions partner?
"Hey! What are you doing here?" I pointed accusingly.
"What happened to that one guy, or was it a girl. Ethan, Ernest, no maybe it was Ethel… It was definitely Ethel."
"I've been sitting here since last week, when Nathan asked to switch partners after you burnt his eyebrows off…" Sirius said staring at me like I had grown another head.
(Now I've seen a lot of things in my day, so naturally I checked. One must always check to make sure you don't start spontaneously reproducing asexually. I saw this person that was half way through budding, and didn't seem to notice. I told her, and instead of thanking me for the helpful information, she got very offended. Then get this, the spawn talked! She said they were conjoined twins. Pfft as if anyone would believe that.)
While I was pondering Sirius began to inch his chair away. I looked at him, then looked around and realized everyone else was doing something productive.
"Hey, do you know what we're supposed to be doing?"
Sirius stopped scooting and looked around confused. He then looked at the board.
"Well, it says up there we're supposed to be making a polyjuice potion."
(Well this should be fun…)
"Ethel! Hand me that chopping knife!"
He sighed dejectedly and mumbled "My name is Sirius."
"Ethel, Sirius, tomato, potato."
"Isn't it tomato, tomáto?"
"That's stupid; they don't even sound the same."
He just shook his head and handed me the knife. I smiled and began the potion.
(I hate to brag, but our potion was a success, and it only took me a month to figure out the whole process. Man I'm awesome.)
While I was patting myself on the back, the professor explained something then told us to take a swig of our potion. I shrugged my shoulders and took a shot. For juice it tasted horrible!
I looked down at my hands and realized they weren't my hands.
Apparently, we were supposed to switch potions with a person of the same gender, because our potions master though it would be imprudent to let the guys "take advantage of our innocent bodies."
I looked over to where Deuce was supposed to be standing and looked right into my own startled face.
Wow, this is a whole new level of weird!
"Deuce, why do you wear a skirt? I feel like I'm naked" I whined as I hurriedly attempted to pull the skirt hem down.
"Stop whining!" Deuce chided.
"I'll whine if I want to!" I replied still trying to pull down my skirt.
"How long does this thing last anyway?"
"It should wear off by the time lunch is over." Deuce answered.
I sighed. (Going down the stairs in a skirt would certainly be an adventure.)
The bell rang, and all the other happy students, looking like their friends, skipped off to lunch.
All the while Deuce and some random guy were making fun of me and my newly acquired skirt. Never mind the fact that it was Deuce's body so everything looked the same.
I turned around and gave Deuce/Me and Mr. Random a sugary sweet smile.
"Yes, it really is a shame I never learned to walk in a skirt."
That wiped the smile right off her face. If I had a camera I could have cherished the moment forever!
(It slipped my mind that it would be a picture of my face.)
I pointed at the random guy.
"Who exactly are you supposed to be, and why are you mocking me?"
The random guy looked at himself.
"Gah, I'm Viper, I changed potions with some random guy, who is nowhere nearly as good looking as me."
Viper began mourning the loss of his "great and handsome" physique.
I shrugged grabbed my back pack, and got ready to sprint down to lunch. However, fate is a cruel mistress, so I ended up running into Remus instead.
"Remmy!"
I shouted with a grin and gave him a hug (as is our normal greeting.)
This time though his whole face turned red.
"Are you sickly?" I poked his face.
"Hello?" I waved my hand in his face.
"H-hello Deuce…" He stuttered out while fiddling with his hands.
"No, I'm Ace… polyjuice potion remember? Oh yeah, you're not Remmy, who did you switch with?"
"Oh, well no one really…." He said shifting from one foot to the other.
"My partner was Peter. He made the potion, and well, it didn't quite work…" he trailed off looking at the back corner of the room.
Sure enough there was Peter, covered in feathers.
"Oh my gosh!" I cried running over to Peter.
"What's WRONG with you people? You don't tar and feather someone just because they messed up a potion!"
"Um Ace… Peter messing up the potion gave him feather. No One tarred and feathered him. "Remus explained still not making eye contact with me.
(what a weird kid…)
"Oh, well if that's the case…" I said while walking back up to Remus, James, Viper, and Deuce in my body.
(Jeeze that doesn't get any less creepy….)
"So are you feeling okay Remmy?" he looked away and stuttered out a weak yeah.
I walked up to James "your friend is kind of weird" I whispered while pointing to Remus.
"Yeah, well, what can you do?" James said while shrugging.
Just when I thought my life couldn't get any weirder, I saw Sirius get slapped by Dorcus.
"MY FACE!" James screamed while flailing his arms.
Then, using my firm grasp on the obvious I deduced that Sirius and James, and Lily and Dorcus took on each other's appearance. Either way it was highly amusing to see "Sirius" on his knees telling "Dorcus" how much he loved her.
"Wow, weird. I may hate this body switch thing, but I must say it's extremely entertaining. Too bad we don't have any pop corn."
It was just another normal day in a Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
