Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
Harry nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, you'll get your body back eventually." Harry said giving her a hug.
Tears brimmed Hermione's eyes and she nodded.
"See you guys tomorrow." Hermione said leaving to follow Draco back to the common room.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…
Hermione stood at the train station with Draco. She was fiddling with her hands obviously a sign of nervousness.
Draco took her hands and smiled at her.
"You'll do fine." He whispered.
Hermione nodded giving him a slightly nervous smile.
"Don't worry. She'll love you." Draco said giving her a light kiss on the cheek.
Draco smiled confidently at her.
The truth was he was just as nervous.
Not for the same reason of course.
He was confident she would do well, but he'd never brought a girl home to 'mum' before.
Luckily Lucious wasn't around anymore, he'd probably see right through their act.
His mother on the other hand…she wasn't stupid but when it came to her son and marriage she got a little carried away.
Draco looked around Platform 9 and ¾ for his mother.
He finally spotted her looking around most likely for either him or Marlaina.
"Here we go." He sighed taking her hand and giving her one last comforting look.
Hermione sighed and nodded as they walked forward.
"Mother!" Draco called as they came closer.
The blond haired woman turned around with a smile.
She quickly wrapped her son in a loving hug and then proceeded to turn her attention to the young lady at his side.
"You must be Larissa." She said with a smile.
Hermione nodded.
"Yes ma'am." She said with a slight curtsey.
"It's very nice to meet you." Narcissa said.
"Where's your sister?" Narcissa asked Draco.
He shrugged.
Just then as if timed Marlaina came running up to the small group.
"Hello mother!" She said with a smile.
She turned to Draco and Hermione.
"Oh, you already met Larissa. Good, shall we be off then?" Marlaina asked.
Narcissa nodded.
Marlaina and Narcissa began to walk ahead while Draco turned to Hermione with a smile.
It was a silent meaning which Hermione had learned Draco used quite often to express his feelings.
At the moment, she was doing well.
They continued walking while pushing their trolly's to catch up to the older women.
"Oh mother, you should see how happy Draco is." Marlaina said happily.
"I noticed." She said with a smile.
"And that girl, she's absolutely beautiful. Very polite and curteous…" Narcissa started naming off things she liked about this young lady.
"I'll have to have a talk with her." Narcissa said looking back at her son.
She saw him smiling at her.
The first smile since her husband Lucious passed away.
Narcissa nodded while continuing forward.
"Oh Hermione dear!" Mrs. Weasley wrapped Larissa in a tight hug while Ron gave her an understanding look.
Mrs. Weasley finally pulled away and gave Larissa a confused look.
"There's something different about you." She said instantly.
Harry, Ron and Ginny all had their mouths open.
It took them weeks to figure it out and here Mrs. Weasley knew instantly.
"Mom," Ron began taking a step forward.
He looked at Larissa and then back to his mother.
"There's something I have to tell you." He said seriously.
Mrs. Weasley looked between Ron and 'Hermione' and then as if a lightbulb came on she grinned.
"Oh it's just wonderful! Come dear let's go inside." She announced happily.
Larissa looked at Ron and he shrugged while they all went inside.
"Oh my." Hermione said breathlessly.
She had just walked into Narcissa's study.
There were millions of books everywhere.
"Have a seat." Narcissa said.
Hermione nodded.
"Thank you ma'am." Hermione said barely able to pull her eyes away from the mountains of books around her.
"Please, call me Narcissa. No need to be formal." Narcissa said smiling at the girls amazement.
"I see you have a love for books." Narcissa pointed out.
Hermione nodded.
"Oh yes, I have ever since I was younger." Hermione said.
"Well, feel free to borrow as many as you like." Narcissa said.
"I find the written word very important." Narcissa said.
Hermione nodded energetically.
"That's what I've been saying for years." She said then realized how emotional she was being and smiled politely.
"We're not as formal here Ms. Devon, no need to feel as though you can't express yourself. I find it quite enlightening when a young girl speaks her mind." Narcissa said with a warm smile.
Hermione smiled.
"Thank you Narcissa." Hermione said relaxing.
"So, how did you and Draco meet? He's never mentioned you before." Narcissa asked as though she were Lavendar or Parvati out to get the gossip.
Hermione smiled.
"Well, we actually just met this year. There was a ball and the girls had to ask the guys for a date." Hermione explained.
Narcissa nodded.
"Well, originally I had asked Draco because he was trying to escape Pansy Parkinson. I didn't want to go with Thomas Carnigan either so I had to find someone fast so I asked Draco thinking he'd have no other choice. The more I spent time with him before and after the dance I enjoyed his company and we became friends. I'm not exactly sure when it changed to more but I do know that I love him." Hermione couldn't believe how lame that sounded.
Narcissa just smiled and nodded knowingly.
Narcissa glanced at a clock on the wall and realized it was almost time for dinner.
"We must get ready for dinner. We should have more talks." Narcissa said standing up and leaving the room.
Hermione sighed.
She got up and left as well.
"Wait, get READY for dinner?!?!?" Hermione ran up to her room that Draco had shown her earlier.
On her way she walked by Draco's room.
Hermione glanced in curiously and saw Draco laying on his bed with a smile as he threw a ball in the air and hummed a song lightly to himself.
Hermione leaned on the doorframe just staring at him.
He still hadn't noticed her presence and continued to hum.
Hermione smiled as she knocked on the doorframe.
Draco quickly looked towards the door and instantly smiled.
He sat up and gave her a curious look.
Hermione walked in and just then glanced around the room.
It was dark but somehow comfy.
She always expected Draco's room to be dark and uninviting but how wrong she was.
Draco moved over slightly to give her a place to sit. She sat down and continued to look at the room.
Dark Forest Green curtains framed his two windows. He had a Green comfeter with white stripes. There was a wooden table next to his bed with one drawer and a lamp.
Under the lamp was…a picture.
Draco noticed her gaze and turned to the picture.
He blushed slightly and then turned back to Hermione.
She smiled at him and gave him a hug.
The picture was of Draco playing his guitar while Hermione was dancing next to him.
"I can't believe you kept that." Hermione said rolling her eyes.
Draco smiled.
"I like it." He said looking at the picture.
Hermione frowned.
Draco noticed and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll change it as soon as you get your body back." He said.
"If I get my body back." Hermione sighed.
Draco hugged her once again.
"You will." He said.
Marlaina walked by her brother's room and saw him and Hermione in a tight hug.
She smiled then glanced at her watch.
She gasped.
"You've got to get ready for dinner!" She said running in and taking Hermione by the hand.
Hermione laughed as she waved back to Draco as she was dragged out of the room.
Draco shook his head and smiled.
"Now what do you need to tell me?" Mrs. Weasley asked her son happily.
Ron looked at Larissa and smiled.
"Mum, I'd like you to meet Larissa." Ron said gesturing to Larissa.
Mrs. Weasley gave her son a questioning look.
"Mrs. Weasley, Hermione and I sort of switched bodies at the beginning of the year. It's a long story but it all started with the ball…"
Larissa told the whole story of Hermione and Larissa switching places and her love for Ron as well as Hermione's new found love for Malfoy.
"And, that's what happened." Larissa said.
Mrs. Weasley had her mouth slightly opened shocked.
After a few moments Larissa and Ron looked at one another and then Ron turned back to his mother.
"Mum?" He asked.
Suddenly Mrs. Weasley jumped up.
"We have to switch you back!" She yelled.
"But mum…" Ron began also standing up.
"We tried everything…" Ron began.
Mrs. Weasley took out her wand and gave it a quick swish.
Instantly a book came off her shelf and landed in front of her.
Ron sat down with a sigh.
He recognized the book as did Larissa.
It was the same book Marlaina had.
"Why do you have it?" Ron asked suddenly.
Mrs. Weasley blushed.
"That's not the point. I have it is all that matters. You shouldn't of had it!" She said hysterically.
"Ah, here we are." Mrs. Weasley said calmly.
She set the book down and began to read.
"Those who drink this potion shall switch bodies…blah blah…only way to switch back…" Mrs. Weasley began.
"Is to kiss your true love." Ron and Larissa finished for her.
"No, that's for the Notlefers potion, which is very similar. For your potion you must make the potion again." Mrs. Weasley said.
"WHAT?!?!" Larissa and Ron both yelled.
Well? Does that answer some questions about why the potion didn't work? There's more too it that I'll add in next chapter! Hope you liked it! R&R please! I'll update soon! Thank you to Smrt cids, marina star and TheDreamerLady!
