Detention with Snape

Written by Serpentina

Dumbledore arose from his red, plushy armchair and positioned his wand so that it was on the temple of his forehead just so. Then, he blocked all thoughts other than the single memory he sought after. Next, with a quick tug, he pulled the wand away from his head, dragging a thin line of silvery reflection with it. Dumbledore, then, placed the thought into the basin that was awaiting its duty.

" I want to remember how Harry and Draco almost altered to their usual corpses." Then, he spoke to the basin that held the now silvery, swirling puddle of thought, " Keep track of their labors."

--------------------

Draco was still in Harry's body, thinking during Transfiguration class. ' Now I know how Harry feels when I'm constantly getting him detention. don't even know what I did. Then again, I bet Harry never does anything either. It was probably because me and Harry were in the same room screaming at the top of our lungs. It probably looked like we were secretly dueling.'

But before Draco could think further another voice rang into his head. It was a sharp female voice. " Mr. Potter, Could you kindly day dream somewhere other than my class?" It took Draco awhile to discover that Professor McGonagall was speaking to him even though he'd been called 'Mr. Potter' a lot lately. " Mr. Potter, Are you paying any attention to something outside of your brain?" McGonagall asked, harshly.

" Uh… yes?" replied Draco, doubtfully.

Professor McGonagall touched the taut twirl in the back of her head, then rolled her eyes, " Then, what were we, as in the rest of the class talking about during class?"

Draco gazed around at his classmates, then mustered up his courage. He looked back at McGonagall reassuringly. " Dean and Seamus were whispering about Quidditch; Parvati and Lavender were chattering about me, and you were talking about the N.E.W.T.s that we all have to take this year." The stern professor now looked stunned.

" If I catch you daydreaming in my class again it will be points from Gryffindor, as for Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Lavender Brown, and Parvati Patil, five points from each of you." Professor McGonagall added. "For speaking without authorization."

Later, in Snape's dungeon, Draco was serving his detention: making an enormously complicated concoction, with a name as hard to pronounce as the mixture was to produce. Of course, Draco had it done in no time, as he was better than any Slytherin at Potions. In fact, Draco made this particular potion so well, Professor Snape had to give him another brew to make, this one, if possible, a little more difficult then the first. With Snape suspiciously watching the entire time, Draco produced The Ultimate Love Potion flawlessly. Snape grew more suspicious, but let Draco off easily, giving him a sample of both his liquid remedies to use for himself.

------------------------------------

The next morning, Draco found Harry and told him of the detention from the preceding night.

" I think I made the Potions too… happily and perfectly. Snape was getting suspicious, but he let me off without questioning. I saved you some of the samples, because you'll need them more then me. This one is the Ultimate Love Potion, it will make your crush be attracted to you forever, I'm keeping a bit hope you don't mind. But the other one is for your brain, it makes you smarter."

---------------------------------------

That night, Harry was thinking about the new student, Sabrina. She was so pretty with her Latino appearance: tan skin, dark long hair, and the most beautiful smile anyone could ever imagine.

' As soon as this curse wears off, I think I'll take some of the potion, Draco gave me. But for now I'll take the brain one, for Draco's sake.' So, Harry took a swig of the still steaming potion and drifted off into dreams of his crushes flawless face.

Your turn, Dru. P.S. All of my chapters are gonna be italicized from this chapter on. Also, I want to do the last chapter 'cause I've got a really good idea.
