Chapter 10 ~ Switch
Harry was finally out of the hospital, his nose made a full recovery, and he was out of the Hospital Wing within the week. His only curiosity left about the whole incident was that Hermione was somehow in two places at once.
Harry had a gut feeling it had something to do with Parvati and Lavender. They had been laughing, and giggling that Saturday morning at breakfast. He couldn't help but wonder if they were up to something.
Harry was sitting in the Library, looking up some ancient Trolls for Professor Binns's homework essay. Hermione and Ron were out on the grounds. Hermione was, believe it or not, helping Ron train for Quidditch. She was throwing Quaffles through the air trying to get it past Ron.
Harry spotted Padma Patil, Parvati's twin sister in Ravenclaw, and he gathered up his books and walked over to her.
Padma looked up at Harry, who dumped his books on the table next to Padma, and sat down.
'Can I help you Harry?' She asked. 'I don't believe we've ever spoken.'
'No, but I was just wondering about your sister.'
Padma looked at Harry as if to say, "what the hell about my sister?" But smiled sweetly and said;
'Oh, what about Parvati?'
'Have you spoken to her lately?' Harry asked. Padma looked as if there was a piece of rotten cheese in front of her nose.
'Have I spoken to her lately?' Padma said sarcastically and scowled. 'She's my sister, or corse I've spoken to her lately!'
'Well, anyway,' Harry said ignoring the sarcasm from the Ravenclaw. 'Has she said anything about Hermione?'
'Hermione? Isn't that the girl who always gets top grades in Gryffindor? She should have been in Ravenclaw.' Padma said.
'The very same. Now, has Parvati or Lavender said anything to you about her?' Harry said, starting to get frustrated with the girl.
'Oh so now it's Lavender as well? Can't you make up your mind?' Padma hissed. At this point, Harry was extremely annoyed, and smacked his hand on the table.
'Would you please just tell me if you've heard anything about Hermione?' Harry said, gritting his teeth.
'I've heard things about her, just the other day Malfoy was saying that she's a Mudblood. I heard that.' Padma said, clearly acting stupid to annoy Harry. It was working.
'Listen Padma, you know damn well what I'm talking about, now either Parvati and Lavender have said something to you about Hermione, or they haven't. Please answer truthfully.' Harry said, losing his temper, knowing it'd get the better of him. Padma sighed.
'Well, Parvati did tell me something about her overhearing you and Hermione in the Gryffindor Common Room.' Padma said, looking down quickly at her books. Harry gulped.
'What did she hear?' He dared to ask.
'Something about you being in love with Hermione. She went to bed after that, so she didn't hear the rest. Parvati and Lavender now strongly believe that you are going out with Hermione.' Padma finally admitted with a sigh. Harry's eyes widened.
'I have to go, seeya Padma, thanks!' Harry grabbed his books, and sped out of the library.
~***~
Ron did a sort of mickey-flip thing on his broom and somehow managed to stay on it, but the Quaffle soared gracefully past his ear.
'Ron! What was that?' Hermione screeched, mainly because he had gotten so high up, that her talking normally would not have been heard by Ron.
'Sorry Hermione, lost my balance there for a minute.' Ron called back down.
'Quidditch,' Hermione said to herself in disgust, 'I should have never agreed to do this, when there was good research to be done.' She mumbled under her breath. Ron zoomed down on his broom, finally balanced again. He was carrying the Quaffle under his arm.
'Thanks Hermione, but I think I'm going to go back up to the Common Room. You coming?' Ron said, as he landed beside Hermione, picking up his Clean Sweep 2002.
'Sure Ron, anytime.' Hermione said, and the pair began to walk up to the Castle.
'You know Hermione,' Ron said as they walked. 'You're beginning to act a lot like Harry.'
~***~
Harry was rushing around the Hogwarts School trying desperately to find Parvati and set her and Lavender straight.
After half an hour of searching, he finally found them in the last place he looked, the Gryffindor Common Room. Hermione and Ron were also there. Ron was giving Hermione a thrashing at Wizard Chess. Harry shook this off, and walked right up to Parvati.
Harry kissed Parvati on the lips, and pulled back after a few seconds.
'What. . . Harry? What was that - what the hell?' Parvati stammered, Lavender just burst into a fit of giggles. Harry glowered at her.
'That, Parvati, was to proove that I don't love Hermione.' Harry said sternly. Parvati's eyes widened, and she gawped.
'I, er, I, er, um. . .' Parvati stuttered.
'That's what I thought. Why were you saying that? You are in way over your head here Parvati.' Harry said, and walked up the boys staircase.
Hermione came over to Parvati and Lavender.
'I saw that, what was that all about Parvati?' She said.
'N-N-Nothing Hermione, don't worry about it.' Parvati and Lavender slipped out of the Portrait of the Lady in the Pink Dress.
Hermione looked questionably at Ron, who just responded with a shrug and confused look.
~***~ *Somewhere off the coast of England*
'Master, is that really such a good idea? You will come no closer to destroying Harry Potter by completing this spell.'
'I'm afraid my servant, that you are quite mistaken.'
'But, but m-m-master! That spell is really dangerous! You could be killed!'
'I don't have time, nor the patience to listen to your rambling. Avada Kedavra.' And the man was dead. 'Gambos Jumberty Oplerya Karmos Gutten Smitch.'

Harry Potter rolled in his sleep. He had just experienced the strangest dream, which included Wormtail, and, nah, it couldn't have been Voldemort? Could it? Harry didn't feel the usual pain of his scar searing on his forehead. Strange. Harry thought nothing more of it, checked the clock on his bedside table, and went back to sleep.
~***~
Hermione Granger woke to the worst nightmare she'd had, and there was a burning pain on her forehead. She snapped her eyes open, but all she could see was a blur. She touched her forehead gingerly, and gasped as she felt an all too familiar lightning bolt scar. . . Hermione sat up with a jolt, and felt around the side table. Sure enough, Harry's glasses were sitting there. She stumbled them onto her face. Looking around the room, Hermione saw that she was in the boys dormatories, and looking down, she saw that she was Harry!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
~* I know that's probably been done before, but I just thought of it. . . by the way, I made Padma mean because of the way she acted at the Yule Ball in the 4th book. Sorry I didn't explain why Hermione was in "two places at once", but all will come unvailed! Hope you liked that chapter! *~
