Bi the blood of god!
"You must first determine your partners sexuality," McGonagall ordered, "Then transfigure yourself into their ideal partner."
~~
The 7th years followed Professor McGonagall up to the fourth floor, where she stopped them in front of a painting of Merlin. She waited until the whole group had arrived before speaking.
"All right class, here are the rest of your instructions. On the other side of this painting is a hallway, that has small rooms on either side. Each pair will be placed in one room. The doors will be locked, and only I have the key to unlock them. Now, in these rooms, you are not able to tell a lie. You can try as hard as you want, but you will find that you cannot lie. That is why we use these rooms for this exercise only.
"Once you have finished the exercise, you must both place you wands against the door, and say Rectos finite. This will place a mark on the other side of the door, and I will come to you. If you have not completed the assignment before the end of class, then you will have detention for a week, and will lose 100 points from your house. Is everybody clear on what to do?"
"Yes Professor McGonagall." The class chorused.
"Good." McGonagall turned to the painting. "Laughers lie."
The painting swung open revealing a long white corridor that had doors on either side of it for as far as the class could see. McGonagall entered the hallway, and pointed at doors, indicating which pair was to go in which room. When they all had their rooms assigned, McGonagall gave her wand a flick, and the doors opened.
"Off you go then."
Hermione stepped into the room after Pansy, and shut the door behind her. She heard the latch click into place, and then the handle disappeared. She turned around, and saw that the room was about as large as her dorm room, but the only furniture was two worn couches with a small table in between them. On the table was a sheet of parchment and two quills.
Hermione watched as Pansy sat down in one of the couches, before walking over and sitting opposite her in the other couch. The sat silent for a few minutes, before Pansy picked up one of the quills, and the parchment, and wrote their names on it.
"Right. Hermione. Gay, straight or bisexual?"
"I would have thought that that was obvious Pansy."
"Humor me, all right?"
"Fine. Straight."
Pansy wrote straight next to Hermione's name, before looking up at her expectantly. When Hermione said nothing, Pansy sighed.
"Aren't you going to ask what I am?"
"What? Oh, yeah. Pansy, gay or straight? Or bisexual?"
"Gay."
"What?" Hermione looked shocked. "But I thought that you...and Draco..."
"Draco? Not a chance in hell Hermione. Besides, he's only got eyes for one person, and it isn't me."
"Who?"
"I'm not going to say. Now, let's get on with this ok? It's not exactly the best class I've ever had."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "I know what you mean. But, the sooner we get it done, the sooner we can get out of here."
"That's what I was thinking. Ok, shall I transfigure first?"
"I guess so."
"Then tell me what I'm transfiguring into will you?" Pansy asked, exasperated.
"All right. Um..."
"Fine, I'll ask questions. Hair?"
"Red. Save yourself breath and just transfigure yourself into Ron."
"Weasley? Your perfect partner is Weasley?"
"You have something wrong with that?"
"Yeah. I don't want to look like Weasley."
"It's only for a class. And besides, I might change some things."
Pansy immediately started transfiguring herself into Ron. The change was slow, but when she was finished, she looked exactly like Ron himself.
"Ok," Hermione ordered, "You need shorter hair. And more muscle, Ron isn't that scrawny. And maybe a bit taller, I like tall guys."
"This okay?" Pansy asked once she'd finished making the adjustments to herself. "This is really awkward you know."
"I'd imagine so. Now it's my turn. Describe..."
"Okay, firstly, you need blonde hair. Hmm, green eyes, a bit taller than you are, but the same build. The hair a bit longer too, and curled."
Hermione's change was quicker than Pansy's, but she kept having to adjust herself to Pansy's expectations. When she was finally finished, she was tall, thin, with long curly blonde hair and green eyes. Her chest was noticeably larger, much to her embarrassment, and her legs were a little longer.
"Happy now Pansy?"
"Definitely. Shall we get out of here?"
"Yes. Got your wand on the door?"
"Yep."
The two girls held their wand tips against the door, and said "Rectos finite." They then waited for over five minutes, before the door began to open. McGonagall appeared in the doorway, and looked them over, before pulling out a camera. Before either had the time to shy away, she took a photo.
"There. I shall give you each a copy. You may change back and leave now. But there is one thing I would like to add. Once you leave this room, you will not be able to talk about anything that has passed within it, understood?"
"Yes Professor." Both girls replied, before quickly leaving the area.
~~
So there you have it. Who shall be next?
