---General Ramblings

Author's Note: -bursts into tears- Merciful Zeus! You all love me! You really love me! Seriously though, I'm like in shock that I got 15 reviews for my first chapter. (As you can tell this doesn't happen often for me) So...wow, I have to thank you all so much! And that is why...I'm posting this sooner than I was planning on doing so. (See? Reviews really do help you guys get a chapter up sooner!)

Starbeam13 - Congratulations on being my first reviewer! -grins- Thanks you and I hope you continue to enjoy my fic!

Frozenfemale - I love the name. Lol. And well, here's the answer to your question...

Mirroredbeauty - Hm...never been called a genius before. Wel, there was that once when I just wouldn't shut up and finally I said something smart and someone said that I was "pure genius, really" but I think that was sarcasm. -Lol-

Risi - Heehee. Thanks!

Jeanne - Oh, it will be. PLENTY of fun. -evil grin-

Muggle77 - wow, you're still laughing? I didn't think I was that funny. But thanks!

Misato-Chan003 - And I love you! -Lol.-

Monkeys! - Yes, I know I went quite fast with the first chapter, but there was a reason behind that. I didn't want to spend like three or four chapters saying that there was an accident in potions something blew up, chaos ensues. 'Cos if I explained exactly how I wanted to, you'd get bored by the fourth chapter. Lol. I tried not to make it that noticeable but oh well. No one's perfect. Glad you like the story!

Dawneb - Yes, believe it or not, I did think about everything that you said before I started writing this and I learned that there are many things much simpler that writing this fic. Like, climbing the Sears Tower with only a fork. ;-) And I think I did figure out exactly what I needed to do after much thinking -I'm in need of more brain cells now- So I hope you agree with how I write this, and thanks for your input, I love it when my readers have something to say or try and help me make the story better. Thanks!

Becki - Yeah, I can't wait to see where I take this either. Lol.

Anora - I agree!

Façade - It is. It's like...horrible. I would like...kill me. Lol. But when I was thinking of ideas I was like, "Hmm...what are two great enemies?" and originally I thought about Harry and Draco, but that's been done. (The Draco Trilogy." I think it's  one of the best fics around.) So I'm like oo! Harry and Snape! They also despire each other with firey passions. Lol.

bluebird161221 - You like my plot? Yay! Actually, I'm in a rather odd mood and I have another fic where Draco and Sirius switch bodies except that it's like...the timelines are....well, you should check it out. It's quite interesting. Lol.

Jess - Yes, I probably would run away screaming, but that wouldn't do me any good anyway because...well, since your in Snape's body...you're running in it. Lol. That's rather confusing. But do you catch my drift?

Savi2070 - LOL! Yes, it is good to express your feelings. Haha. I'm glad you like!

Liz - I'm so sorry! I just really dislike slash (unless it's Willow/Tara) so if you want, I suppose I could write a slash fic for you, Lol. But no way on the hellmouth will this fic be slash. Thanks for reading and reviewing though!

Them Girl - Here I am...writing more. Lol.

Shellie - Hey girl! I'm glad you love this. And also, the Lonquins must strike again!

Lady Lightening - I hope so. :D

Allison Lightening - Thanks!

Ice Lupus - Wow. I'm honored! I've never gotten a death threat before! Lol. But yay! I'm glad that you've found this story! So I choose...a?

NotQuiteFamous - Freaky Friday? Wow, that movie just sounds horrible. Lol. To me, it's just...ugh.

Entilza - Okay, when I first read your review, I was almost positive that yu said, "Good! Perhaps you two will get some insight on each other" and I was like, "Well...Gabby and I know each other quite well. I mean, we've never met but we talk plenty." And then I finally read it correctly and I was like, "Oh." Lol. Thanks for the review!

Cherry - Yeah! I wrote my own! Urg, well the thing is I'm in the middle of moving across two states. From Illinois to Colorado. And my internet will be down for at least a month. So this will probably be my last chapter until my birthday or something. My birthday is September 8th which is exactly a month after we move. So I'm quitebusy with the packing of boxes and stuff. So don't go tapping your foot at me! Lol. Nah, thanks for the revirew, and I'll try and update it at the library or something. Or hopefully I'll be able to get my cable up soon and I won't have to go to the library, which I'm not sure even exists, to get on the internet.

Holy Hell! Okay, reviews alone took up two pages, which is amazing. So yay! Onto Chapter Two!

---Chapter Two: Agreement

"No, I'm not kidding you Potter," Snape spat.

Harry looked at Snape, shocked at the sharpness in his voice.

"Well it's not my fault!" Harry stated in a cold voice.

"I assume it was Longbottom. All he needs to do is walk into a classroom and suddenly it looks as if World War II had fought there." Snape muttered, now look out the Hospital Wing door every couple of minutes.

"Professor, what are you doing?" Harry demanded.

"Dumbledore will be here soon. Didn't you listen to-" he shook his head in disgust. "No, I suppose you didn't. Harry Potter is much to important to listen to anyone."

Harry managed to stand still and not show any emotion. He didn't want Snape to have the satisfaction of knowing that he had gotten "The Great Happy Potter" angry. That would only fuel him to say something else.

They were both obviously in foul moods so it would do nothing to yell at each other. Snape would just end up giving him a detention or- Harry put on a smirk and watched as his body began pacing.

No, Snape couldn't give him detention.



"So how'd it go?" Ron asked as Hermione walked back into the common room.

"Well, Malfoy tried to convince Dumbledore that Neville was trying to kill Snape."Hermioen then added almost as an after thought, "And he made some rather nasty comments before Dumbledore arrived as well."

"That evil prat. I'll kill him I will."


"Neville?"

"Yes, Neville." Ron said, clearly peeved about something. "Of course not! For someone so smart you can be quite dumb sometimes."

Hermione looked at him with a hurt look and then headed over to the couch. She picked up a pillow and put it on her lap.

"Of course Dumbledore didn't believe him. Which is a good thing. So then I told Dumbledore my side of the story and he let us go," she stated while playing with some fringes on the pillow.

"So when's he getting back?" Ron questioned plopping down next to Hermione.

Hermione shrugged, still playing with the pillow that she was holding. "Tomorrow hopefully."

"Hermione, I'm sorry. You aren't dumb. I'm just a bit annoyed with the fact that no one cared to inform me until you got back from Dumbledore's."

Hermione glanced at Ron. Instead of hurt showing on her face as it did before, Hermione now looked quite irritated. "Ron Weasley, give me a break! Was the school supposed to go off running to find and tell you that there was an accident?"

"No, but-"

But Hermione cut him off. "If Dumbledore had thought that it was serious, you'd have been notified promptly. He knows that you two are best friends. Obviously it wasn't that big of a deal."

"Well I-"

"It was just a stupid little explosion and because they were right next to it, they got knocked unconscious. That's it."

This was getting tiresome. By this time, Snape had stopped pacing and they were now both glaring at each other.

"I'm quite sorry to intrude on this little staring contest." Came Dumbledore's voice from the door.

Harry and Snape but promptly turns and found that the Headmaster was standing about four feet away with Madam Pomphrey close by.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry exclaimed, getting a bit nervous.

"How are you feeling, Severus?"

All of a sudden, the doors to the Hospital Wing burst open and Madam Hooch ran in looking furious. "Poppy!"

Madam Pomphrey swiftly focused her attention on her enraged co-worker. "Yes?"

"I must ask you to come down to the Quidditch Pitch as quickly as possible." Madam Hooch glared at the floor for a moment. "There seems to have been an accident."

"What happened?" asked Harry, forgetting that he was in the body of Severus Snape.

"Severus, yes, you should come as well, it seems someone has tried to curse Mr. Malfoy. Instead, the curse hit the broomstick, and he fell about eighty feet." Madam Hooch explained, still looking quite infuriated by the events.

It was perhaps thankful that Snape interrupted him, or else some words that would get the teacher's suspicions may have erupted from his mouth, followed by some laughter.

"Professor Snape!" Harry looked at him with a questioning look. "I need to speak with you."

Just as Harry was about to reply with something along the lines of "no." he decided against it and nodded. "Very well, Potter. Come to my office at eight tonight."

And with that, Harry left the Hospital Wing with a swoosh of Snape's cloak, leaving Dumbledore and Snape in the Hospital Wing alone.

 "Harry, how are you feeling?" the Headmaster asked, his usual calm demeanor a bit exasperating to Severus.

"I'm quite well, Headmaster. And now I think I shall be leaving." Snape said, uncaring if Dumbledore got suspicious or not.

Snape really did not want to spend another day at the hospital wing, and he knew that Dumbledore had ways of knowing the truth. It's not that Severus thought that Dumbledore wouldn't help. It was just the fact that he didn't want help.

Of course he also didn't want Potter in his body.

"Harry, is there something wrong?"

"No, I'm quite well, thank you."

Snape had to get out of there. Now. Without saying another word, he quickly walked out of the hospital wing.

Dumbledore watched the doors for a minute then headed out with a sigh.

"Uh, could someone please tell me what happened?" Harry asked, staring down at the unconscious form of Draco Malfoy.

It took quite a bit of Harry's self control not to point and start laughing hysterically at the boy. Someone had tried to curse him. "Imagine that." Harry thought to himself once again trying to withhold a grin.

"Someone tried to curse him from the stands." Said a girl that had just come up from behind them. She had blonde hair and was wearing the Slytherin Quidditch robes while carrying her broom. "At least that's what we saw. A flash of light, I mean and the next second, Malfoy was falling at least fifty feet or so."

Harry, Madam Hooch and Madam Pomphrey turned to the girl.

"And you are..." Harry began.

The girl gave him an odd look. "Kai Devlin, Professor."

The nurse and Quidditch instructor sent inquiring looks at Harry and then looked back at Kai.

"Ah yes, Ms. Devlin. Uh...excuse my lack of memory at the moment. Did you, uh, happen to see who the person behind the curse was?"

"No."

"Oh. Okay. Malfoy will have to be taken to the Hospital Wing in that case."

"Yes, obviously." Madam Hooch said, rolling her eyes. "Honestly, Professor. Is that all you have to say?"

"Well...I have to go." And Harry gave a slight nod and headed back to the castle ignoring the couple of stares of confusion from the Slytherin Quidditch team, a teacher and a nurse.

Just as he was entering the castle he heard that girl, Kai, say, "Snape's gone mad. I knew it."
