Chapter 2 - Meet Dracaena Malfoy and Harriet Potter.

Draco Malfoy opened his eyes, he knew it, before they were open something was wrong. He felt different, he didn't know why, it was just odd, like he was in someone else's body. He felt around in the dark, he didn't even remember getting into bed, that was the weird thing, in fact he had no recollection of what happened after he put sea salt into the potion and wound Harry Potter up. Yes, Harry Potter was to blame for this, Draco wanted to give him a good kicking when he next saw that scar head.

Draco got up, was he a little shorter than normal? Maybe it was because he felt a little disorientated. He was out of the bed when suddenly a light came on and Madame Pomphrey came rushing through a door, Draco was in the hospital wing. He couldn't believe it, had Potter beaten him up really that badly, Potter was going to pay.

"Draco!" Madame Pomphrey shrieked, "what has happened to you, you look very different." Draco scowled at her, of course he looked different, the stupid woman! He had only just woken up and his hair wouldn't be gelled back because..wait, his hair was practically down to his waist. Since when was it that long, it was like his father's and he hated his father's hair.

"Umm," Draco placed a hand down his back, he felt more hair and he gulped uncomfortably. Madame Pomphrey was staring at him oddly, she blinked a few times and then she ran off again saying she was getting some aspirin for her head.

Draco looked around for a mirror when he spotted a pretty girl lying on the bed that was next to his. She had raven black hair that was quite long and she was sleeping gently, her hand resting on the pillow, next to her head. Draco had the sudden urge to touch it, he didn't recognize the girl, was she a student, she had to be.

Draco brushed his hand against the girl's, he felt the warmth radiating off her and suddenly her eyes fluttered open. Draco snatched his hand back and pretended to be looking again. The girl sat up and began squinting at him.

"Where am I?" she asked nervously, looking at Draco. Draco smiled at her, she smiled, "Do I know you?"

"You're in the hospital wing, and no, I don't think we've met before," Draco answered but the girl's smile had gone and had turned into a frown. She crossed her arms and sat up straight.

"The hospital wing!" she declared, "I can't believe it, that Draco Malfoy, he's really pushed himself too far this time. What the hell did he do this time that caused me to be here!"

Draco felt uncomfortable, what was that girl on about? I am Draco Malfoy, if she knows him then how come she hasn't spotted me and confronted me, what did I do to her again?

"I'm Draco Malfoy," Draco suddenly said to the girl and she burst out laughing. Draco scowled again, what was so funny? "What's so funny?" he asked the raven-haired girl. She blushed a little, but then took a deep breath.

"Well, you can't be Draco Malfoy because you're a girl, you see - not that you don't know that or anything," the girl answered sweetly. Draco felt angry, he was a what!

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Draco demanded furiously, but the girl just seemed to laugh at him, meanwhile Madame Pomphrey had come back.

"Harry, you're awake!" the medi-witch said with delight, "but you're different to. I'm going to have to get the headmaster, either it's me or my aspirin isn't doing it's job." With that Madame Pomphrey disappeared and only Harry and Draco were left in the room.

"What is wrong with that old hag? She thinks you're Harry Potter, is she blind or something?" Draco said in a bemused fashion, but the girl frowned.

"Well actually I am Harry Potter, I don't believe I know you're name, you are?" Harry queried, only to get a scowl off Draco.

"Like I told you, I'm Draco Malfoy," Draco said, loosing interest in the conversation because the girl seemed to think she was his nemesis. The girl also didn't believe that Draco Malfoy was Draco Malfoy, how stupid can one person get?

***

Albus Dumbledore entered the hospital wing, he felt quite cheerful after hearing Madame Pomphrey's report, even though it was about one 'o clock in the morning.

"Harry, Draco!" he said warmly and both looked at him with confused expressions. "Both of you look quite lost, I think we're in need for a chat and a hot chocolate." Dumbledore set himself on the end of a bed and watched the two students clamber on to their own beds.

"Both of you were involved in an accident yesterday," Dumbledore began, "it all occurred in your potions lesson and you were both the victims of an unfortunate accident that seems to have changed both of your genders. We are working on the remedy, there is none at the moment because the gender potion you have created is a different method to the one that is normally used today, basically you have discovered a new gender potion but to Professor Snape it seems that you didn't have the nicest change over to the more feminine side." Dumbledore gave a small smile but both 'girls' looked horrified at what Dumbledore had just said.

"I'm a what?" Harry shouted, Draco smirked at him but then remembered he was in the same situation and he quickly put on a scowl.

"Calm down Harry! To our guess we think the potion is only temporary, otherwise you will have to wait until we find a cure. Do not worry, we will be informing the Magical Potions and Findings Institute in Sweden, I'm sure you and Draco will be back to normal before to long," Dumbledore said, but knew he was counting on false hope. Even Professor Snape who had been up all night looking for some sort of guidance had found none.

"Anyway, it is important that you continue your schooling, even though you are slightly different," Dumbledore announced, ignoring the two scowls from Harry and Draco, "so I think we are in need of a change of first names, Draco, you can be Dracaena Malfoy and Harry you can be Harriet Potter, by the way I have informed your guardians of the matter."

"WHAT!" Dracaena screeched, "Father will be furious, you cannot do this Dumbledore, it is insane!"

"Dracaena, I'm sure Lucius will somehow understand, besides I think he has always liked the idea of having a daughter," Dumbledore gave Dracaena a small smile. Dracaena folded her arms and scowled at the old headmaster who sat on the bed smiling warmly.

"You can't be serious," Harriet said glumly, "I can't show my face to the others, they will laugh and I don't want to be a girl!" Harriet suddenly began to wail.

"It has been decided! There is no use in moaning, you will be expected at breakfast in the morning and ready for your classes, oh and there was just one other thing, I have heard a lot of complaints about you two so to solve matters and prove that you can actually get along you will be sharing a spare dormitory. There was no room in the girls dormitories for your year so you two will have one all to yourself, it is located near the transfiguration classroom, you will have no trouble in finding it. The password is, Fire Crackers and there is a ward set up so that you have to be back in there by 9pm each night, otherwise you simply sleep outside on the floor and have the chance of being caught by an angry Filch."

Harriet and Dracaena looked at each other, mentally throwing daggers at each other. How could they get along? How could they be girls? How could everything go wrong in one potions lesson?

"I hate you," they both muttered to each other, Dumbledore looked away pretending to ignore them.

"I think it's time to get some well deserved sleep," he chuckled, "after all you both have a long day tomorrow!" Dumbledore left the hospital wing, leaving Harriet and Dracaena fuming.
