In the Slytherin common room... It is September first and the feast in the great hall has just ended. Draco is not looking forward to his 5th year at Hogwarts and is racking his brain trying to figure out a way to get out of it.

"Draco you can't really get out of a WHOLE year of school without having to retake it." Crabbe was trying to convince Draco to give it up.

"Oh yes I can...I can do anything." He said sounding pathetic.

"Not this! Hehehe..." Goyle laughed but stopped as soon as he got a death glare from Draco.

Draco was getting mad. He pulled out his very large copy of "Hogwarts rules and policies" and began to study it furiously. One hour went by and he found nothing...two hours...three...and somewhere in the middle of his fourth hour...

"I FOUND IT!!!" Draco shouted gleefully waking up Crabbe and Goyle who stumbled sleepily over to Draco to see what he found.

"Look...right there on page 327 under paragraph two...'If by chance a random spell mishap leaves a student with a less than rightfully functioning mind, he/she shall be excused from all classes for all the time necessary until the problem is corrected, unless the headmaster of current rule has an alternative solution.' JUST LOOK AT THAT!!! So I just act crazy and you guys say that I was hit by a bad spell from an unknown source and I get off this year!" He said careful not to let anyone else overhear.

"Wow...okay...that's cool...I guess." Goyle said amazed that he found something.

"We start tomorrow...I'll start acting empty headed and you go run to Dumbledore and tell him I was hit by a spell and am acting weird!" Draco explained.

They went to sleep and the next morning Draco woke up early to prepare for his role. He then woke up Crabbe and Goyle and sent them off on their 'missions'.

"DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE!" Goyle yelled running to catch up to the headmaster that he saw walking throughout the halls. A slow Crabbe following behind. "Draco was hit by a spell! It's really bad he doesn't remember anything and he's acting weird. Nothing he says makes much sense and he's doing odd things! Come see! Come help him!" Goyle yelled when he caught up to the Headmaster.

A shocked Dumbledore followed the two hysterical students back to the Slytherin common room and then up to their dorm. There he saw not only a *dazed and confused Draco* but also an open copy of "Hogwarts rules and policies" and noted to page number.

"Well this is quite unusual indeed...excuse me but I must talk to the other professors and figure out what to do with poor Draco here." And with that he walked out of the room and got to the hall. He smiled to himself and shook his head, he let out what sounded oddly like a chuckle and proceeded to his office to see what was on page 327 of the giant book.

"Ah of course..." he said to himself, "clever one, that Draco...it seems I will just have to be a little clever myself. He thought for a moment and studied the last part stating that if the headmaster had another solution, that one would be used, "But what to do with him." He thought.

Meanwhile in the Slytherin dorms...

"He FELL for it he really FELL for it! No classes this year...this'll be too easy!" Draco said to no one in particular.

Draco decided that he should have some fun with his "current state" and left the dorms for breakfast...there he walked up to a random girl that he had never talked to before and exclaimed, "You forgot to say cheese!" A random boy and asked, "Don't you just love it when people throw cereal spoons at birds?" He was having fun watching the shocked and confused looks on peoples faces when he spotted Harry Potter across the room. He walked right up to him and said, "Great frolicking bags of bullet holes, what does the brick have to do with all this?"

"Excuse me?" Harry asked trying to sort out what Draco had just said.

"Who cares? That's the point, you see?" Draco said enjoying the confused look on Harry's face, not to mention Ron's and Hermione's who were standing behind him.

"WHAT are you talking about?" Hermione spoke up.

"Oh no you're one of THEM!" Draco said keeping a straight face.

"Listen here Malfoy, I don't know what's going on but I'm sick of your whole "mudblood" thing!" Hermione shouted. Malfoy gave her a blank stare and continued his nonsense...

"You're quite the toothpaste today aren't you?" he said.

"WHAT?" Hermione yelled getting mad and walking off as Ron and Harry stood staring at Draco as if he had just turned into fluffy, the three headed dog.

"Oh Jim said I should tell you 'never'." He told Ron and walked away to confuse other people. ("why'd you kill the Billy goat?" "Don't tell anybody...but I'm dead." "Are the stewed prunes still in the hairdryer?")

By the end of breakfast everyone knew that Draco was a little messed up in the head. Also Prof. Dumbledore had come up with a "solution" and soon called Harry and Draco to his office...

"1000 salutations and a lump of blue cheese!" Draco greeted Dumbledore as he walked into his office.

"You to Draco...you too." Dumbledore replied.

"What's going on?" Harry asked VERY confused.

"Well Mr. Potter...Draco has been in an 'accident' and his brain is just not functioning right." He began as he watched Draco look dumbly around the room, "And...well...I have come up with what I feel is the beast thing to do in this situation...I will be placing you in charge of making sure he doesn't get into trouble." Dumbledore said.

"Me? Umm...why?" Harry asked shocked.

"I have put much thought onto this and decided that you are the best for this job...Now this will be quite a task and we are unsure of how long Draco will be...well...like he is now," He said looking at Draco and watching him pretend not to notice what was going on when he knew he was panicking inside, "Harry if you watch him and make sure he doesn't get himself into trouble I will excuse you from all homework assignments until he is better, Do you accept?"

"ALL homework assignments! Well yes...ummm...yeah I accept." He said looking at Draco and thinking that it couldn't be that bad, after all he was stupid for the time being.

"Very good then...both of you go pack your things...I trust you can do that alone Draco?...and then meet me here and I will show you to your new room." He said

"WAIT...WHAT do you mean 'NEW ROOM'?" Harry asked.

"Well...you two will need a room together of course...Harry you must watch after him at all times...I have also made sure you two have the same classes." He said and closed the door before Harry had a chance to protest.

A very angered Harry stormed up to his room to pack his things and a VERY confused and angry Draco did the same.

Whooo hooo!!! First Chapter...I will need at least 7 reviews to continue...
