Story by: Snapes Apprentice

(A/N: *stares in shock* omg, I like have 2 chapters up in 24 hours. *is shocked again* wow..this has been a first in a while! *does a dance* go me! Yay! I am sorry if this seems a little short..but yeah.I couldn't think of anything else.for this day in potter land, to put in there. Lol. Read and review!)

Draco re-read the letter at least 5 times before tearing it up into tiny pieces. 'what am I going to do?' he thought to himself. 'How am I going to switch back to my old self in just 3 weeks? I don't even know how it happened.'

He stood up, and started to pace around the room, occasionally throwing a piece of blaise's letter into the fire as he passed. After about 5 minutes of him thinking of ways he could get out of this mess, the portrait hole opened to reveal who came barging in.

Hermione looked about as mad as a black tailed dragon as she came storming into the room, and plopping onto the chair in front of the fire.

"Harry, Keep your friend away from me, or I might just jinx him to no end." She said, just as ron came into the commom room, his face as red as a beet.

"What happened?" Draco asked, eyeing both of them. Hermione looked over at ron, before saying anything.

"When you said that Malfoy fancied me, Ron kept poking fun at me about it, even when I told him to stop. So I jinxed him with the jelly legs. After I undid the curse...oh, nevermind. I am going to bed." She said, standing up. She glared at Ron then turned around and stomped up the stairs.

Draco stared after her then smirked. 'She likes me. How did I know?' he thought to himself.

"Where did you learn to smirk like that, harry?" Ron asked, standing up and walking up to him. "I never seen you do that before. Only Malfoy."

He shrugged then said calmly, "I must of picked it up when I stayed with him. No big deal."

Ron rolled his eyes. "He is such a git. I don't know why Dumbledore made you stay with them this summer."

He sat back down on the couch. "Who knows. Dumbledore is weird like that."

Ron nodded. "Do you want to play some wizards chess, Harry?"

He replied with a nod. Smiling, he stood up and took his place opposite of ron ready for one of the only times he would sit and have a normal game of chess with the red head.

As 3 more days past, Draco was growing more anxious as time wore on. It has been 3 days since he talked to Harry last, and he needed to tell him about the letter, but he could never find time to talk to him in private. The only conversations he had with him was when they had a row in front of the other students.

Draco sighed and decided he had to talk to him today, because he had a feeling if he didn't, he would have no other time to do it.

After Herbology was over, Draco trapped Harry in the corridors after he told Hermione and Ron that he had to talk to Professor Sprout about an extra credit assignment.

"Potter, I have to talk to you." He said, not letting harry escape. Harry rolled his eyes. "Well, you have my attention Malfoy. What is it?"

"Remember that letter you handed me about 4 days ago?" Draco said, looking around to see if anyone was watching. "Yes, what about it?"

"Well, that letter was from Blaise Zambini, the so called girl I am supposed to marry when I am 19. Well, the problem is she is coming down in less the 2 weeks to see me, and I don't know what to do." Draco replied, staring right into harry's eyes.

As harry sunk the information in, his eyes suddenly got wide as realization his hit square in the face. "What are we going to do, Draco? I don't even know what she looks like. We have to switch back."

"That is what I am trying to say. But I don't know how we ended up this way, so I am lost as to what to do." He said, as he sat down on the stone cold ground and leaned his head against the wall, shutting his eyes.

"She will know it is not me. She knows my every move, my every facial expression, she even knows exactly how I eat. It is sad really, but that is why we have to switch back."

Harry slid down to sit beside him, and rested a hand on his foes shoulder. " We will figure out how to switch back. The only thing I can think of that caused this is the quidditch thing. That is the last thing I remember." As if suddenly a electric shock went through him, he pulled his hand back quickly off of draco's shoulder.

"that is what I thought to. It is the only thing that makes sense as to what happened to us." Draco said, looking down at the ground.

Harry smiled. "We will figure it out soon enough. Give it time. I actually like being in Slytherin house. Never thought I would before, but it isn't so bad."

Draco stared at him, until harry looked away uncomfortably. Drack smirked. 'Ha. I win.'

"Potter, I have to go right now. I have to study for your quiz in potions. Meet me on Friday at the quidditch pitch about 10:00 p.m., unless your scared." He said, looking at him again, as Harry sneered.

"I'll be there."
