***DRACO MALFOY***
"I got an owl from my mum and she said I can invite you guys over for Christmas!" Gwen said.
I had learned the two girls names by listening to them talk. As I sat down, Melody asked, " So do you think you can come?"
" I don't know!" I replied as I saw Ginny walk out of the Great Hall in my body.
"I'm not hungry so I'm going to get ready for Transfiguration," I told them.
I then walked into the hallway. I was just getting used to my new feminine voice and I had found and pocketed the little weasel's schedule before coming to breakfast. "There you are!" I heard my voice say.
I turned around and saw…well, me. " How am I supposed to go to class as you?" I asked.
Ginny just shrugged and gave me an evil smile. Man, she looks just like me when she does that. "I don't know but we'll have to pretend to be each other until we switch back!" she told me.
I sighed. If only it was as simple as that. " Listen Gin, it's not going to work like that. See this old bloke said a spell to make your brother and I swap places until we learned to like each other. I guess he did it wrong!" I told her.
" You guess? I know he did it wrong! So how are we going to switch back?" Ginny questioned.
" I guess when I become friends with Ron as his sister," I told her.
"If you say so," she replied. "Leon valiente."
"What?" I asked. " Are you insulting me or what?"
"That's the password!" she stated.
"Oh? Well yours is socarion," I told her as I headed up to the Gryff's common room.
I quickly grabbed her transfiguration and history of magic book and met up with Gwen and Melody outside McGonagall's classroom. "There you are!" Melody said. " We were beginning to wonder what happened to you!"
"Oh well, I just had trouble finding my books," I said as I took a seat in the back.
A couple of minutes later McGonagall came in. "Okay, class today we will learn to turn teacups into roses," she said.
I sighed as I looked at the wall. This was sooo boring. I had learned this last year and besides who needs to know how to turn tea cups into roses? "Miss Weasley!" I heard the professor say.
"Yes?" I asked as I faced the front.
"Please pay attention. This could appear on your exams."
I sighed as I mumbled," Whatever!"
"Miss Weasley, please come up here now!" McGonagall barked.
See how she is? She's mean to me even if I'm in someone else's body. "Yes?" I asked as innocently as I could.
"Since Miss Weasley believes she knows everything she will turn this teacup into a rose!" McGonagall told the class.
"But professor that's not fair!" I cried.
No one else had to do this, so why should I? "Well, Weasley if you would've paid attention you wouldn't be up here. Now please show the class how to turn a teacup into a rose. And this will be a part of your grade."
"Fine, this is so last year!" I said to myself.
I then took out my wand and pointed it at the teacup. "Rosa!" I exclaimed.
My blue teacup then turned into a red rose. "Good job Miss Weasley! I've never seen a 5th year do such an excellent job. 10 points to Gryffindor," McGonagall proclaimed.
After I sat down, McGonagall said," Okay class, I want you to do exactly what Miss Weasley did. But remember--you can't do well in this class and not pay attention!"
I glared at her. How can you pay attention to lessons you've already learned? "Miss Weasley was just very lucky and excels at transfiguration. Next time I see one of you not paying attention, I will take points off," she finished.
Then the rest of the class went to work on turning their teacups into roses, while I drifted off into Draco's world. The bell rang while I was thinking about how I was going to be nice to Weasley. As I got up, Gwen and Melody came up to me. "That was amazing, Gin!" Melody said.
" Yeah! I thought you wouldn't be able to do it. In fact your rose looked better than mine!" Gwen complimented.
As we walked to History of Magic, I noticed that Melody looked like she was deep in thought. I hoped she wasn't beginning to figure out that I wasn't Ginny. " Did someone teach you that spell?" Melody asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked as calmly as I could.
'Please don't let her find me out' I thought.
"Well, McGonagall said that 5th years usually can only make small roses and yours was a medium one. I was just wondering if one of your brothers taught you the spell!" she explained.
I let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Ginny was good at transfiguration. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble. " Yeah, Ron taught me awhile back in the common room," I told them.
Weasel was the only one of her brothers that I could actually remember the name of.

***GINNY WEASLEY***
I watched Draco walk off towards the Gryffindor common room. As I walked towards the Slytherin common room, I realized something. "Great!" I moaned as I sat on Draco's bed.
In two days Draco was going to be in major pain. He would probably make me look like I couldn't handle a little stomach pain. As I looked for Draco's schedule, I decided to come up with a plan to get Draco back for whatever he did in my body.
I then groaned as soon as I saw Draco's schedule. He had double potions with the Gryffindors first thing in the morning. ' That's just what I need at 9:00 in the morning!' I thought.
I walked out of the dorm with the books I needed, Draco's timetable, and glanced at his watch. 'Great! I'm late, way to go Gin!' I thought cynically.
I then ran all the way to the dungeons. I arrived in Snape's classroom 15 minutes late and totally out of breath. "Sorry, I'm late!" I said.
Maybe I'll get lucky and he won't take off points. "It's quite all right, Mr. Malfoy!" Snape said as I sat down next to a boy with brown hair.
I smiled; being a Slytherin has its advantages. "Okay, class I will assign partners to do the potion on page 221," Snape told us.
I looked around the room and prayed that I wouldn't get paired up with the two fat bozo's named Crabbe and Goyle. All they know how to do is eat. I didn't know the other two Slytherin boys that well. I believe the one sitting next to me was Hector Knot or something like that. The other boy I met this morning was Blaise. Ron never talks about Hector or Blaise. That's probably because they never get on his nerves. I wouldn't mind being partnered with Blaise. I mean he was nice to me this morning and isn't a total diphead like Crabbe and Goyle.
"Malfoy and Weasley!" Snape said.
Great! I get partnered up with my brother. That's way better than being with the fat boys. I walked over to Ron and sat my cauldron next to his. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything bad to say to him. Oh, well. "Hey!" I said to him.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Ron snapped back.
I glared at him. Sheesh, was Ron mad. And to think all I did was say hi. " Nothing, I just wanted to say hi to my new partner!" I told him.
"Right!" Ron told me sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes and decided to try to be mean to my brother. "Actually I wanted to ask you a question," I said.
"What?" Ron snapped
"Have you even got any new robes in the time you've come to Hogwarts?" I asked.
Ron glared at me and I knew immediately that I had made him mad. If looks could kill, I would be dead right about now. 'Please let Ron not be too mad!' I thought.
The last thing I needed was for Ron to get in a fight with me. As I chopped up my spider, I looked over at Ron. Unfortunately for me, he was still angry. When the bell rang, I got up and exited the class as fast as I could. I wasn't fast enough though because I felt someone knock me down. " You are going to pay, Malfoy!" I heard Ron hiss.
I rolled over and saw Ron pointing his wand at me. "What's the matter can't do anything without your wand?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"I'll make you pay without my wand!" Ron replied as he stuck his wand into his robes.
I bit my tongue. I was so angry that I was saying things I didn't even mean. I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut. "Ron, don't!" I heard Harry and Hermione say simultaneously.
Just as Ron was about to hit me, Professor Snape came to the rescue. I never thought I'd say that! "Mr. Weasley! 15 points from Gryffindor and a detention!" he said. "Meet me here at 8:00!"
"Yes, sir!" Ron replied as he got off of me.
As I got up, Snape said, " Are you okay Mr. Malfoy?"
"Yeah, I'm fine!" I replied.
I then went to the Great Hall for lunch.
