The Bitter End

Chapter 7: The Potions Project: Part 3


Previously...

They both drank what was in their glasses. The potion was so thick and tasted like mud. Hermione began to feel light headed. Her eyes snapped open. "Oh no. This isn't supposed to happen."

"What are you talking about Granger? Granger?" was all Hermione heard before fainting.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. They both just fainted."

"Is that supposed to happen?"

"No."

"Will they be okay?"

"I'm sure of it."

Hermione heard the voices of her fellow classmates. Her eyes opened slowly.

"Class is dismissed," Professor Snape drawled and the students cheered with joy.

"What happened with Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Potter, I said class was dismissed," Professor Snape growled.

"And I want to know what happened with Hermione," Harry snapped.

"Watch your tongue Potter," said Professor Snape.

"Just tell me," said Harry.

"Ten points from Gryffindor," said Professor Snape.

"WHAT?!? WHY?!?" Harry yelled.

"Because you are being a meddlesome student. That's why," said Professor Snape.

"Fine, I'm leaving. But I'm coming back to check up on Hermione," said Harry.

"You do that Potter," the Potions Professor said dully and Harry left the classroom muttering curses under his breath.

"Wh-what happened?" said a females voice that sounded exactly like Hermione's. "But I'm not talking," she thought.

"Ms. Granger, how are you feeling?" Professor Snape asked.

"Dizzy," Hermione replied with a much deeper voice. "My voice!"

"You sure don't sound like Ms. Granger," Professor Snape smirked.

"GRANGER! WHAT AM I DOING IN YOUR BODY?!? WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" Draco yelled at Hermione.

"Ma-Malfoy the potion worked," Hermione said quietly.

"It did work Ms. Granger, but," Professor Snape paused.

"BUT WHAT?!?" Draco yelled.

"But it seems the potion messed up," Professor Snape continued.

"How? We did everything we were supposed to do," Hermione said in thought. "Oh no, it was,"

"The rose petals," both Hermione and Professor Snape said.

"You've added to many of them," Professor Snape said.

"Please don't tell me that I'm going to be stuck in this horrible body," Draco said and Hermione looked at him feeling hurt. Then she realized that this was the second time seeing herself. First time it was when she used the time-turner in her third year. But that was then and this was now. She had o say it. She looked very pretty. "My body's not all that horrible," she thought to herself.

"You should talk," Hermione snapped at Draco.

"Would you two stop bickering about yourselves," said Professor Snape.

"Sorry Professor," said Hermione.

"How long are we going to be like this?" Draco asked.

"Well you should've only switched minds for an hour, but with this problem it may take a week," Professor Snape answered.

"A WEEK?!?" Draco and Hermione yelled in unison.

"I'm sorry to say so," Professor Snape nodded.

"I think we should go to Professor Dumbledore. Maybe he would know what to do," said Hermione.

As Professor Snape led the way to the Headmaster's office Hermione and Draco began to argue.

"This is all your fault you know," Draco snapped.

"My fault!?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, your fault," Draco said. "You're always the brains of your crew."

"My crew?!?" Hermione repeated. "And from what I remember you're not so dumb neither."

"Aww thanks for the compliment, I'm truly flattered," Draco said sarcastically.

"We're almost by the Headmaster's office. Hopefully we'll switch back soon," Hermione said ignoring his sarcastic remark.

"Great. We're off to see the Oh-He's-Perfect-Dumbledork," Draco scowled.

"Don't call him that," Hermione snapped. "He's done great things you know."

"Yeah, for you," Draco mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing Granger. Nothing at all," Draco sighed.

"We're here," Professor Snape warned them. "So stop your fighting."

"'Lemon Drop'," Professor Snape said to the statue and Draco chuckled.

"Can he think of anything else," Draco grunted. Hermione had enough of this so she had to shut him up. "Can you shut up for once in your life?" Hermione growled.

"What Granger? Annoyed at your own voice already?" Draco smirked.

"Shut it," Hermione snapped.

Once inside Professor Dumbledore conjured two seats for Hermione and Draco to sit.

"Ah Severus. What brings you here?" he asked calmly.

"There was a problem in Potions class today," Professor Snape said with a bored voice.

"I see. Ms. Granger would you care to tell me what happened?" Dumbledore asked looking at Draco.

"Um, Professor. We were doing a project. We had to make the Commutation D'Esprit Potion. As you notice I'm now in Malfoy's body which meant it worked, but we've added more rose petals than we were supposed to," Hermione said with Draco's voice.

"Oh dear," said Dumbledore now looking at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Is there any way we can change this?" Hermione asked.

"In the mean time I'm afraid not. But I'm sure Severus could make a reversal potion," said Dumbledore. "Also I'm afraid you can't tell anyone about this."

"You mean I can't tell Ron or Harry," Hermione asked and he nodded.

"Are you saying that I have to act like Granger?" Malfoy finally spoke up. "I can't do that, I'm sorry but I can't."

"It's for your own safety," said Dumbledore. "Can you imagine how everyone would react if they found out." With this Malfoy sat back into his seat but Hermione could see his anger.

"Is that all Professor?" Hermione asked politely.

"Yes and remember who you're supposed to be don't act like your usual selves," said Dumbledore.

"Thank you," said Hermione. And then they were finally back in their dorm. Once inside Draco let his anger out.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!" Draco yelled. "THIS IS CRAZY! I CAN'T BE LIKE YOU AND YOU OBVIOULSY CAN'T BE LIKE ME!!"

"Oh yes I can," said Hermione and mocked him. "I'm Draco Malfoy. The purest Pureblood Slytherin you'll find who hates Scarface, Weasel and that damn Mudblood."

"Not bad actually," Draco said impressed. "And please don't make me strut."

"You strut anyway," Hermione retorted.

"Do not."

"Do too," she said starting to enjoy annoying Draco. "You strutted on our way to the Headmaster's office."

"That's because I'm in your body!" Draco exclaimed and Hermione started to laugh.

"This isn't funny," Draco said seriously.

"Yes it is," Hermione said laughing.

"My worst nightmare has come true," said Draco.

"Whatever Draco, or should I call you Hermione," Hermione said laughing even harder.

"I've had enough of this," Draco said and walked into his room. Hermione's bladder couldn't take it any more so she ran into the bathroom. "What am I going to do? Ok ok, don't look at it. It's his body not yours. Gods, why did this have to happen to me?!?," Hermione's mind was screaming at her. But curiosity got the best of her. "Oh my GOODNESS!"
