"The Great Switch Up" Chapter 2: What the bloody hell?!
**************************************************************************** **
"Ugh....," Tara moaned as she held her head. With her eyes closed, she tried to remember what happened. It all came rushing back to her: video games, music, book, wind, &... 'Oh crap, I hope what I think happened didn't just happen.' She opened her eyes & looked around. She appeared to be in a white &...pink room?! "What in the bloody hell?! I hate pink!" Tara exclaimed, a bit too loud. She heard footsteps & looked at the now opening door. There stood a man with dark brown hair & hazel eyes & a woman with light brown hair & dark brown eyes. "What's wrong sweetheart?" the woman said, sitting on the bed in front of her. "Huh?" Looking puzzled, the man said, "We heard you screaming from downstairs. We thought it was....well, you know, that evil wizard from your world." 'Evil wizard? Wait a minute...' "May I have a mirror?" Tara asked, now noticing a British accent in her voice. The woman looked even more puzzled as she handed her a mirror. One glimpse in the mirror had Tara deciding if she was going crazy or if this was really happening. She went with going crazy, so she pinched herself quickly, & saw that this was really real. Handing the mirror back, she said, "I'm alright mum. It's just the morning shock." 'Mum? Since when did I say mum? I guess now.' "It's alright sweetheart. Come down & eat breakfast when you're ready." Before leaving her room, her 'dad' exclaimed, "Oh, & don't forget that you're going to the Weasly's today, honey. Remember, school starts in 2 weeks." When her 'parents' left the room, she quickly fled to a mirror on her bura. "I still can't believe this is happening to me," she said to herself as she looked in the mirror. Standing before her was a girl with past shoulder-length brown hair, a mixture between dark & light, & dark brown eyes. She seemed slightly taller than her usual self, had not-so frizzy hair, actually it was pretty straight & thin, & she probably looked beautiful. "Well, I better get cleaned up. I hope Sam, Cindy, & Keith are alright."
Later on, after taking a shower, getting dressed & straightened up, & double checking she had everything she needed, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had on a dark red tank top with gold threadings, gold-colored jeans, a gold choker with a ruby in the middle, & her hair straightened, some dark red highlights visible in them, & they didn't look natural. "Well, maybe she is a bit like me after all," Tara mused to herself, grabbing her trunk & other stuff, & pulling it down the stairs. "'Morning Mum, 'morning Dad," Tara said cheerfully, pecking them both on the cheek. She figured since she was probably going to be stuck like this for a while, she should make use of it. "Hello sweetheart, have everything ready?" She nodded as she sat in the only open seat at the table. Waiting before her were waffles with butter, maple syrup, & a bowl of strawberries. "Thank you mum, this is delicious!" Tara exclaimed, & started eatting. Her mum beamed in pride as she finished it off with a glass of milk. "Ready to go?" "Sure am dad." With that, she pecked her mum on the cheek while hugging her, pulled her stuff into the back seat, hopped into the car, & now on her way to the Weasly's.
An hour or so later, they pulled up to a house that looked like it had many additions to it, just going up, & not out. 'This is everything that I dreamed it looked like,' Tara thought to herself as she grabbed her stuff & started heading to the door. Before she went further, she ran to her dad & embraced him, saying, "I'm going to miss you. I'll owl you & mum." He smiled. "I know you will honey." With a peck on the cheek, she ran back to her stuff & said, "I love you dad! Bye!" He soon drove away, going back to their 'home'. Tara continued to the door, & went to knock on it. Before she did, she took a look around her. "This is home for a while," she sighed to herself, happy that she was here instead of worried. Now knocking, it was soon answered by a plump, cheerful-looking woman with red hair, with aging grays, & kind blue eyes. "Why hello Hermione dear. Harry, Ron, & Ginny are out back, waiting for you to be here." Yes, she was Hermione Granger.
