A/N: I wonder if the story will end anytime soon.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Detention
"I wonder if Snape'll be decent to me tonight." Draco mumbled to himself. "Probably not." He answered himself as he walked down into the dungeons.
His mutterings ceased as he opened the door to Snape's office. He didn't want Snape to think him insane and go writing to Lucius. The consequences of that could be very dire. Well Lucius would probably just take him home and attempt to beat the sanity back into him. 'It's a bit too late for that though.' Draco thought. Of course he didn't really believe that he was completely insane - just a bit crazy. 'Or maybe father would send me off to some asylum. But I doubt it. He's too worried about our social status in the world and imagine everyone's shock at him having an insane son. It'd say bad things about him now wouldn't it?'
"Ah, Draco I see you haven't "forgotten" about your detention as you usually do." Snape said in his greasy voice.
Draco looked at him a bit uneasy for the first time. "Of course not Sev - I mean sir."
Snape smirked slightly. "The other person shall be here soon."
"Other person?"
"Yes, another little troublemaker from one of my other classes."
"Who?"
"You'll see."
"Ok... Well what do you expect me and this person to do down here?" Draco asked.
Snape smirked this time. "I haven't decided. Possibly something as simple as copying lines like you're used to. Possibly potion mixing."
Draco looked almost happy at the possibility of getting to copy lines instead of something horrid like cutting up something disgusting and tossing it into a cauldron.
"Hi. I'm here." Said an exhausted voice from the door. "Sorry I'm late but I got held up by Neville and - " She stopped when she saw Draco.
"Ginny?"
"Draco what are you doing here? I thought you were getting expelled."
"No I just got two weeks of detention."
Snape watched the two with interest. They reminded him so much of Lucius and Lilly when they had been younger.
Snape finally remembered that he was the teacher and not with Lucius and Lilly. "Well let's get to work."
Draco and Ginny looked up. "Ok." Draco said.
"You two will brew a complex form of the polyjuice potion. It will only take an hour to make and it will last a bit longer than the usual polyjuice potion. It is unlike the polyjuice potion in several ways though. You two shall find out why when you drink it. It's a bit hard to explain."
Draco and Ginny looked at each other and shrugged. "All right. What do we need?" Ginny asked.
Draco muttered something about copying lines.
Snape gave them an instruction paper and took them into the classroom where he sat at his desk and read a book while the two lovers went to get the ingredients and set to work brewing their potion. To Snape's surprise he heard not one cross word between the two. He was also surprised to find that Draco didn't even show any intention of insulting her.
After about an hour and a half the two finally finished and each carried a vial of the potion up to Snape's desk.
"We're done." Draco said.
Snape set his book down and eyed each of their vials. "No you aren't." The potion in each of their vials was crystal clear. "You need to add a hair from each of your heads in each other's vial."
"Ok." They each pulled one hair from their own head."
"Ow." Draco muttered as he pulled his out. Draco looked at the almost invisible strand of fine almost white hair and dropped it into Ginny's vial. Snape wasn't pleased to see the potion turn black when Draco's hair was dropped in.
However, when Ginny dropped hers in Draco's the potion turned a very, very pale pink. It was still almost white.
Ginny looked at Snape expectantly but Draco was eyeing Ginny's potion. "Sir why's mine pinkish and hers black?"
"I'll tell you later, Draco. Miss Weasley may not like to hear about it."
Draco nodded.
"Drink them." Snape commanded.
Draco paused a moment then drank his down in one gulp. He looked at Ginny just in time to see her drink hers. Draco felt a strange tingling sensation all over. He felt himself growing shorter.
"What the bloody hell is happening?" Draco demanded. He was shocked to hear his voice come out a bit squeaky.
Snape just smirked and watched them.
Draco looked down at himself and saw his robes were way too big on him now. Draco reached a hand up to brush back his platinum hair but he realized it was way too long and too dark now. He swallowed nervously and examined his hand. It was small and not as pale as it had been before. The nails were long and he knew his nails hadn't been this long just a few minutes ago. He saw his watch was slipping off his wrist. "W-What - " He stopped. His voice wasn't his own. It was high-pitched and girlie now. He heard no trace of his aristocratic drawl just a very British voice. He looked down at his feet - or rather tried to but found he had to lift his robes slightly to see them. He looked to his left as he heard a ripping sound. He saw Ginny - actually himself standing there.
"Um guys." She stopped. "AHH! What happened to me?!"
Draco chuckled slightly but had to stop. He couldn't bear to hear himself so 'squeaky' he decided silently.
"Oh shut up Draco! You owe me new robes now!" He heard Ginny say but he didn't see her lips move.
"Ginny?" He asked.
"Hmm?"
"Did you just say something?"
"No."
"But I heard you say I owe you new robes now."
Ginny/Draco stared open mouthed. "No I thought that."
'I can't read mind can I?' He thought.
"Draco!"
"What?"
"I just heard you."
"Heard me what?"
"Say you can't read minds."
"No I thought that."
"You two are now connected telepathically." Snape jumped in before they confused themselves anymore than they already were.
"Huh?' Draco heard his real voice ask.
"We can read each other's mind." Draco put in helpfully. He sounded exactly like Ginny.
"How long are we going to be each other?" Ginny/Draco asked.
Snape smirked evilly now. "Until you create the antidote."
"B-but!" Draco protested. "That could be years!"
"I know."
"Asshole." Draco swore wishing his voice was deeper. It just didn't sound right in Ginny's voice.
"Detention. Come see me tomorrow at 7."
Draco/Ginny shrugged. "All right."
Ginny/Draco looked horrified.
"Stop looking like that, you're making my face look horrible." Draco/Ginny scolded Ginny/Draco.
"You've got a lot of room to talk. My face is smirking."
The two started laughing.
"Can we go now, sir?" Ginny/Draco asked trying to sound like Draco.
"Go ahead."
So they left the room.
"We need to change." Draco/Ginny said eyeing Ginny/Draco's torn robes.
"Good idea."

A/N: Don't even ask. Next chapter will be called, 'Your eyes are gray.' I don't know when I'll have it up though.
Oh yes and for to answer some peoples future questions.
1.) Yes I'll write a story about the Lilly/Lucius thing I mentioned above. I've already started to write it and yes it will be believable. Well the end anyway. James and Lucius are friends at first but after Lilly starts paying more attention to Lucius things change.
2.) Draco/Ginny is Draco in Ginny's body and Ginny/Draco is Ginny in Draco's body. Most of you probably knew that already but just in case...
