Chapter 2:
Harry heard a scream, making his head hurt worse. He didn't want to open his eyes. He felt funny. It was probably just the pain of his head. He heard the scream again, but he still refused to open his eyes. It sounded like a boy. Neville? Was the Dark lord there? What had happened? Why did his head hurt? He heard Ron's voice and the boy's raspy voice.
"Yourself?" He heard Ron say. "Harry, what do you mean?" Harry?
Harry finally opened his eyes. He still couldn't remember anything that had happened. He looked down. Whoa, those were definitely not there before.
"What's going on?" He heard the voice say. Harry looked up and screamed. Then screamed again. He sounded like Hermione.
"What are you doing in my body?" Hermione shouted.
"Me? I-I'm in your..." Harry voice trailed off. He hopped out of bed in renewed strength. He looked towards the nearest mirror and at Hermione's reflection staring back at him. Then he remembered. The memories. They were Hermione's memories.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ron asked, bewildered.
"OK, let's just stay calm. I'm sure that there is a reasonable..." Hermione started to say, but stopped. "If I'm in Harry's body then-" she looked to Harry (or herself). "Harry?"
Harry nodded. "Hermione...is that you?" Hermione nodded.
"Hold on! You mean, you two...switched bodies?" Ron asked.
"I think we did," Hermione sighed. "But-but how? I mean, what happened?"
Harry frowned. "I don't remember. Wait! We fell down the stairs. Then I saw...you. Only, you were younger. And-"
"I saw the same thing! Only you were younger. I think we saw eachother's past happenings. Or memories. And, and then we switched bodies!" Hermione concluded, satisfied with herself.
Ron stared at both of them. "Huh?"
"We need to go to Dumbledore, he'll know what to do!" Hermione stated. "It's our only choice."
"Hermione, I have a feeling that this isn't something that can be cured by a spell," Harry countered.
"Well, it will help to ask, now come on!" Hermione hopped out of bed, only to be stopped by Madam Pomfry (SP?).
"Mr. Potter, where do you think your going? You cracked your head! You'll be lucky to get on the train tonight!" She snapped.
"But I really must talk to Dumbledore!" Hermione whined. "Please, it's urgent!"
"What is so urgent?" Madam Pomfry asked, unconvinced.
"Well, I switched bo- bo-It's not that important. It can wait," Hermione's face showed bewilderment as she said this. The nurse gave her a stern look and walked away.
"Oi! What did you say that for?" Ron asked.
"I-I don't know. I was going to tell her. Oh no. I don't think we can..." Hermione began hyperventilating.
"But you told me!" Ron countered.
"That is strange...." Hermione sighed. "But, I don't think we can tell people. I think it unabled us to let anyone know of our condition! Well, that only leaves one choice!"
It was much later in the day. Hermione, Harry and Ron ran to the library.
"Hermione!" Harry hissed. "Stop walking like a girl!"
"I am a girl!" Hermione snapped.
"Not so loud!" Harry whispered and tried to walk feminine. He ended up looking like a conceited girl who wiggles their butt to much, causing quite a few looks from onlookers. And causing a glare from Hermione.
"Is that how you think I walk?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to walk. Uncle Vernon watched the Miss America Pageant once and this is how they walked!"
"No, Harry. That is not how they walk. Your making me look scary."
The argument continued until they got to the library. Hermione and Harry (Ron wanted to go eat, isn't he supportive?) looked for a book that may help them go back to themselves. Hermione couldn't help but look at the mirror. Harry's face's eyes were bloodshot. She looked over at Harry (or herself for that matter) and saw him pulling down books. Poor Harry. She was traumatized, and she hadn't even really been there. Then she remembered.....he had seen her memories as well. Great. Just great.
Harry caught Hermione looking at him, and smiled.
"What? It's weird to see yourself, isn't it?" Hermione nodded.
"Erm...Harry? D-did you see...my past?" Hermione asked nervously.
Harry looked down. 'yeah, I did. Hermione I'm so sorry. Ron and I had no I-" Harry was trying to apologize when Hermione began laughing...hard. Harry stared at her in annoyance and she laughed harder. Then, for no apparent reason, started crying. Harry's first thought was poor Hermione. His second thought was that she made him look strange. Harry didn't like to be seen crying.
"Hermione, Hermione, shhh. It's OK," he tried to hug her, but found it a bit uncomfortable to be hugging himself. and pulled away. "Hermione, what's wrong? You were just laughing."
Hermione wiped her eyes and regained her composture."It's just....sad. I mean, it's funny and sad. Your feeling bad for me when your past is so much more horrible than mine. I dealt with normal things...but you didn't. You saw people die and-and-" Hermione broke into a fit of tears. Harry pulled her to the back of the library. Thank goodness no one was there.
"Sh, Hermione. It's fine. I'm fine. Your crying for nothing!" Harry said soothingly. "Don't worry about it."
Hermione smiled. "You just don't want people seeing you cry."
Harry laughed. "For the most part, yes."
"Well, I can't wait to get back into my own body. I feel strange."
"You feel strange! I don't get how you can live with your hair so long. It gets in my way! And I'm afraid to put my hands at my sides!"
Hermione sighed and shook her head as Harry tried to adjust the skirt without touching anything. She looked over at the nearest bookshelf and found that there was a book way at the top. It looked horribly dusty. She was about to ask Harry to reach it when she realized that she could reach it. She stood on her toes and grasped the end of it and pulled it down. She blew the dust away and tried to make out the worn title. Through Another's Eyes: Switching bodies Volume 1
'Harry! Harry! I mean, Hermione. This is it. This is the book were looking for!" Hermione sat it on the nearest table, causing a small dust storm. She opened to the first page, scanned it, and flipped to another page. Harry looked over her shoulder (or his shoulder. Isn't this confusing?) and read to himself while she moved her finger along the page.
If you find yourself in another's body, you must first find your body. Whoever body you are in, that person is in yours. The exception is if three or more persons switched from the same cause together. To see the known reasons of switching, please go to page 5.
Hermione flipped the page and read.
There are 4 known reasons of switching, all of which are listed here:
The first, and most common way, is a polyjuice potion disaster. Here, the people involved will somehow awake in the other's body. The cure is the reversal potion.
"Let's just skip this," Hermione said and flipped to the next page, where they found what they wanted.
The last, and rarest occasion, is cracking a wizard/witches head and letting the fluid from the brains mix with the other magical being. If this is done with different magical breeds, the results are disastrous. The last known occasion of a witch'/wizard switching was Dedore and Samara Snitchet, a brother and sister pair who fell off a tree and clashed their heads together. They woke up in the hospital and Samara claimed that her brother had been smoking earlier. Tests were taken and it indeed was true. Samara had seen her brother's past, a side affect from this type of switching. The pair died in the hospital, never switching back. There is no known cure because of this.
"This isn't good," Hermione whispered, still flipping through the pages. "It says here that
Certain methods of switching unable the persons involved, for unknown causes, to let others know of their predicament. But, if someone witnesses the switching, even unknowingly, they-' Hermione flipped the page. "NO!" the rest of the pages were ruined with water.
"Don't worry, it was probably just going to say that they will be able to know what happened." Harry said, shrugging it off.
Hermione sighed. "Yes, your right."
But there was more to the story than that. Something that could have helped them and saved them time. But that wouldn't be much fun now, would it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, that wasn't very long either, sorry. But, I wanted to get it up and leave it there. Soooo, that's why. The next chapter will take longer to get up, because it will be longer. BUT before I write it, please vote!
Where should they stay the summer (or part of it depending on future polls)?
A) Harry's Aunt and Uncle's house
B) Hermione's house
C) The Burrow
D) Hermione's Aunt and and Uncle's house (I just had to say it. It might be interesting (;
So please review and vote! Thanx!
