Krum gazed at the simmering potion, knowing that in several minutes, it would be done. He was more than anxious to put his plan into action because of what he had seen earlier that day.
*Flashback*
Ron had strode purposefully towards Hermione through the crowded hallway. He took her hand and had led her outside, smiling and making jokes all the while. When they had gotten outside, and Krum was hidden well behind and tree, Ron had held out a ring.
"I know you're not ready to get married, and I'm not really either, but I know, that when I do, it will be to you. I want you to take this ring, as a promise. I'll always love you no matter what, ok 'Mione?" Hermione had gazed up at Ron with such love, Krum had almost growled. He sneaked away, ignoring the kissing sounds they were making.
*End Flashback*
Krum glanced at the clock, yes!, it was time. He dropped the hairs into a glass of the murky potion and it immediately turned midnight blue. Krum was surprised. There was a certain key to the colors that a Polyjuice potion turned. If it was a disgusting color, that person was usually a disgusting person. But this midnight blue, it meant that this person was loyal and brave.
Krum shrugged and downed the blue potion in seconds. Already he could feel himself getting taller. He gained a few inches in height and lost an inch around the middle. His shoulders stayed the same, but Krum could feel muscles building up in this keeper's arms. His nose grew longer and suddenly turned and became crooked.
He could feel freckles (spattergroit…lolz) sprouting across his uneven nose and finally, he gazed in the mirror and saw his hair turn from dark brown, to a brilliant red. His eyes stayed dark brown for a few more seconds, but then, they melted into the same brilliant midnight blue that the potion had turned. He was Ron Weasley. Now, to find Hermione.

Krum, who had followed and spied on Ron for a few days, told the Fat Lady the password and waltzed right on into the common room as though he belonged there, and, if you judged by appearances, he did. He spotted Hermione, reading (*gasp* I never saw that coming!) and writing a particularly long essay. He walked over to her and kissed her on the top of the head, a move he had seen Ron do many times.
She smiled up at him and gave him a better greeting. Krum was doing his mental victory dance (it looked like a drunk doing the mambo backwards) and sat down beside her. He tried to act like Ron would and only messed up once. ( "Ron, have you done your homework?" "Yes." "You have?!?!" "Uh…I mean, no!") Finally, Hermione finished her work and led Ron to the couch. There, she proceeded to snuggle with him, occasionally kissing him.
Krum was dancing with happiness in his mind and snogged Hermione with a passion. It just so happened, that then, the mud-covered, freckled-faced, red-haired, real Ronald Weasley stepped into the common room.
