A/N I really couldn't think of what Colin would do, he's muggle born, but I don't think he would of noticed the books so you can all assume that he woke up realized he was a girl, fainted and didn't wake up.

Not again, I can feel it this is not my bed. So who am I today? Parvati Patil, though I might be a boy again so I could be Seamus or Ron. Now all I need to do is find a mirror. God don't these boys have a mirror. Lets see I'm…. Neville. This could be fun, or not, a day in the life of Neville. Now I just have to be a 6th year on a school day, and he had to be a year nine in a secondary school.

"Neville here's your timetable."
Monday
9am- Potions- Slytherins
10.30am- Divination
Lunch
1pm- DADA
2.30- Transfiguration
Hermione looked up sympathetically "Potions first thing." Thinking of the howler from the day before I grinned. "I know."
She looked at me strangely.
"It's 8.40 we better go get our stuff."
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dean, Seamus walked up to the Gryffindor Common room and got their books, quills and parchment.
"Watch out for the trick stair." I warned, Dean fell through it.
"Come on 6 minutes till potions, we don't want to be late."
We sprinted to potions and got there just as the door was about to shut. "I'm so glad you managed to grace us with your presence. 10 points from each of you that's 70 points."
We all glared at him.
"Why did you deduct points from us? Firstly we weren't even late and secondly there are 6 of us and 6 times 10 is 60 not 70." I questioned. Snape was taken aback at Neville speaking out of turn.
"Because you were 10 seconds late for your lesson and I took an extra ten away now because it will save me time later."
Just then Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle sauntered in. "Sorry we're late sir."
"That's fine, now go sit down."
"I object!" I shouted.
"This is not a court room Longbottom."
"30 points from Slytherin then."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because they were late."
"Your point?"
"Did you actually listen o that howler yesterday, it covered your hair and teeth, but it failed to mention hat you're a biased-"
"20 pints from Gryffindor and it'll be 200 if you don't sit down."
I went and sat down in the only seat left, by the teacher's desk next to Harry. The whole class was staring at me. Since when did Neville answer back to a teacher, he doesn't have the courage and he's scared of Snape.
"Now does an one know what this is?" said Snape as he held up a flask full of a green liquid. The class stared at him clueless. " Potter do you know?"
Harry stared at him and then answered "Polyjuice Potion."
Snape looked miffed "that is correct. Longbottom, what is a polyjuice potion used for? And what is the key ingredient?" Snape stared at me hard, with a look that would make the real Neville faint. "It allows you to change into someone else, but only for an hour. The key ingredient is the essence of the person you want to change into like their hair. The Polyjuice potion is only used for human transformations and not animals as it could result in you being turned partially into the animal."
Snape gaped at me open mouthed. "10 pints from Gryffindor. Granger you shouldn't whisper the answer to Longbottom."
I stared at him.
"Hermione is on the other side of the room, there is no way she could o whispered it to me, unless she told me telekinetically, which is very unlikely."
He looked at me carefully and then carried on with the class.
When Snape told us to start making the potion, which would take a month to make Harry asked. " Since when did you have the guts to stand up to him?"
"I spent the whole of the summer trying to work against my fears."
Snape came over. "Longbottom no talking, and your potion is to thick."
I looked at his potion. "Then so is yours." Snape walked off.
I looked at him triumphantly "I guess that howler will keep him quiet for a while. Honestly I loved it. The muggle, what was her name, Eve played on the words from his first year speech."
"Right." Harry looked confused. I had come up with that yesterday, he had helped me.
"OK. Every one should pack up and leave, so that the next poor teacher can put up with you." He said this while glaring at Harry and I.
We walked up to Divination, Hermione leaving to go to Arithmancy. While we were walking up the stairs I saw a painting of a Spanish nun flying on a broomstick. She smiled at me. "Hola como te llamas?"
The nun stared at me and answered. "Me llamo Francesca."
"Que tal?"
"Muy bien."
"Hasta luego Francesca."
Francesca smiled and then flew off.
Ron and Harry looked confused.
"What language did you just speak in?"
"El espangol. Por que?"
"Pardon? Your still speaking in another language."
"It's Spanish I know I said hello, what is your name she answered Francesca. I asked her how she was feeling and she said fine."
"How do you know Spanish?"
"I learnt it. Your not the only person that knows another language."
"Can I hear some more?"
I looked at Harry shrugged and started talking. "Me llamo Eleanor Victoria Evans. Tengo treca anos. Vivo en Greenwich. No me gusta nada Potions y Divination. Son las diez y viente cinco. So we should run."
A/n she said her name, where she lives what subjects she doesn't like and the time.
We sprinted up the stairs and got there to see some ones leg going through the trap door. We climbed up the ladder. Standing in front of us was a woman that clearly was not Professor Trelawney. The woman was plump and has long black wavy hair reaching her waist. "My name is Professor Ellis." She said with a slight accent I could not place. "Your divination teacher is ill at the moment so I am taking your place. I will be going over the tea leaves with you as it is the simplest form of divination, though very affective."
She picked up a kettle and poured some water into a teacup. She accidentally spilled some onto her hand. "Mierda!"
I looked at her strangely and murmured "Language professor."
"What did you say?"
"I said language professor. You really shouldn't swear in the middle of the lesson."
"You know Spanish."
"A little."
"But you know how to swear in Spanish?"
"Lets just say I got bored in a Spanish lesson and decided to look up some words in the English- to- Spanish part."
She looked at me and then carried on with her lesson. When I had finally finished the tea-, which I loathe, I started looking at the dregs.
"Ahh let me see."
"An acorn, some unexpected gold. A cross you will have trials and sufferings and a skull, you have danger in your path."
"Lucky me." I said sarcastically.
"But it can't be…"
"What is it? The grim." I snapped.
"No a lightening bolt. You will be put the to the test for your life. And a clock, fate is very important."
I stared at her, then at the rest of the class. Some were gaping at me, while Harry and Ron sat in silent laughter. I looked back at the Professor.
"Listen, sorry to disappoint you, but I don't believe in divination. Quite frankly I think it's a load of old rubbish. There are only a very few seers and you and Trelawney are not one of them."
"The lightening bolt…"
"I don't really care what you say. As far as I'm concerned you're a loony old fraud."
She muttered something under her breath in Spanish and carried on with the lesson. Lavender and Parvati spent the rest of the lesson giving me dirty looks. When the lesson had finished I rushed out in fear of Lavender and Parvati cursing me. I started walking down the stairs and heard someone shouting Neville. I looked for Neville and then realised they were calling me and stopped, Harry and Ron ran into me.
"I can't believe you did that in Divination! I've always wanted to do that, but it'd probably end up in the papers. 'Harry Potter had lost his nerve.'" Harry muttered darkly.
"I can imagine it now. 'Harry Potter known as the boy who lived had finally lost his nerve. He has now attacked his divination teacher who is now in St Mungo's for treatment. We have also found out that he had attacked his aunt and has been charged by the muggle police on GBH. Has the savour of the magical world cracked? Is the boy who lived the boy who snapped? My Rita Skeeter, the beetle eyed psychotic reporter, going to any length to find a story.'" I commented.
"Hello Neville, Ron and H... Harry." Someone shouted cheerfully. I turned around and saw a longhaired red head running towards us. "Oh… er hi Ginny." I replied.
* * *
"So what do we have next?" I asked Dean
"Umm… DADA with Professor Lupin."
"But he left."
"Yeah, he's come back but he won't tell us why."
We walked into the classroom. Lupin was sitting on his desk smiling. Once the whole class had filed in he started talking. "Today we are going to go over Boggarts and then we are going to go start learning how to duel.
What am I most scared of? I had absolutely no idea. I hate spiders but I'm not scared of them. "Neville, forward."
I ran forward. The boggart changed into me, except I had blond hair instead of the red- brown I usually have. I was also wearing a cheerleader outfit. I looked at the boggart. I was not afraid of the boggart; I looked around and was about to say there was something wrong with the boggart when it started to sing. "Ridikulus." I shouted. The boggart now had my normal hair colour. I was wearing a blood red ball gown with a gold trim. I then put the violin I was holding under my chin and started to play. The whole class stared silenced in the music. "Ode to joy." I said. Lupin looked up. "What did you say?"
"Ode to joy, it's the name of the music."
Lupin ran up and got rid of the boggart, as I was the last person. "We will now work on protection charms. I looked around. Luckily Hermione was not there. I nudged Harry, "Where's Hermione?"
"Oh… she's at a meeting with McGonnagal. Prefect meeting over the Howler yesterday."
The started to learn the protection charms. After half an hour ever one was tired out.
"Ok class." Said Lupin. "You have all worn your selves out so what should we do for the next half hour?"
"How about we listen to Neville's boggart?" Some one shouted.
Lupin looked at me. I was about to say yes when Hermione came in. "How about I play it my self?"
"Are you sure you can do that?"
"Yeah I can, I just need a violin."
Lupin conjured one up. I started to play, it sounded terrible. "Are you sure we can't just listen to the boggart?"
But I can't I thought, Hermione's in here. I just don't get it. I've been playing since I was 6. "No wait, I need to tune it."
It took me three minutes to tune it and then I started playing. I needed a whole orchestra, but this would have to do. I was ¾ of the way through when Dumbledore walked in. I yearly stopped playing. Once I had finished playing the whole class clapped. Lupin dismissed the class and I started to walk out. Dumbledore stopped me. "You're just what we need."
"Pardon"
"Well, in the prefects meeting we decided to provide a little entertainment tonight, and I want you to play that and present a karaoke contest. I've got a karaoke machine with only muggle songs on it. Now met me in the great hall at6.30 so you can have your dinner."
"One thing." I said and idea forming in my head. "Could you provide me with two hats one with girls names in and one with boys."
"Ok. Now I'll take you to Transfiguration."
***
It was 6.55 and I was waiting for the hall to start filling up. I was very nervous, I had played in front of clouds before but never in front of a whole load of magical people that I didn't know existed until 3 days ago. When the whole had finally filled up Dumbledore nodded his head and I started playing. At 8 o' clock Dumbledore announced that it was a fun night and that I was their host.
"You're not letting that squib ruin the night are you?"
"Sonorous." I said I felt my vocal chords change and then I carried on. "Malfoy I helped organise this night do I present it. You can't leave either as it's not 9.30 yet now we're going to have a karaoke night."
"What?"
"It's a muggle thing, now. I'm going to pair you up and you'll stay in those pairs until 9.30 and you will be bound by magic as soon as I say who will be together now…Mr Ron Weasley with Miss Hermione Granger. Mr Harry Potter with Choo Chang, Mr Draco Malfoy with a Miss Ginny Weasley (at this they shouted about the unfairness of this choosing.) Sorry about that. The papers also say that you two have to sing first. Mr Vincent Crabbe with Parvati Patil, Mr Gregory Goyle with Lavender Brown, Mr Seamus Finnegan with Pansy Parkinson, Mt Dean Thomas with Padma Patil, Professor Snape with Professor Trelawney."
"There is absolutely no way I am taking part in this!"
"Take it up with Dumbledore not me. Professor McGonnagal and Mr Colin Creevy, Professor Dumbledore with Professor Sprout…"
* * *
"Now as I promised we are now going to hear Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy singing especially for you which I chose, much to their dislike."
Ginny:
Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
Draco
Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
Both: And
now that I'm next to you
Draco
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
Both: It's all because of you
Both:
And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Ginny
Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
Draco
How I'm certain
that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
Ginny
You showed me the way
Both: And
now that I'm next to you
Draco
I've waited long
enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
Oh,
Both: And I wanna bring out
all the love inside you, Oh
And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Ginny
You were in my heart
My love never changed
(I don't like this song I just think it fitted)
"That has to be the worst idea you've come up with Longbottom!" Said Malfoy giving me a look of contempt.
"I'm entertaining people. Tough luck. Hi Ginny, you can really sing, you and Malfoy sound like Kylie and Jason."
"Who?"
"The muggles who sang it in the first place."
