Chapter 2


Draco looked around for a second before realizing that he was staring at his own lean body.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" Draco looked down and saw that he was wearing a skirt, much to his dismay, and Hermione was just as shocked to find that her skirt was mysteriously gone. Draco smirked, squeezed Hermione's chest, and heard a squeak emitted from his own mouth.

"Oh my god Granger! These are REAL!"

Hermione glared at… well, herself. She looked down and saw that she had also acquired some new…ahem…equipment. All she could do was blush, since she didn't have the courage to do anything to "it".

Draco spun around in the skirt and sneered. "I don't know how girls can handle skirts. It's too cold."

Hermione ran her hand through her new hair and was surprised at how soft and light it felt. 'Much better than my hair.' She knew she would never say this aloud, but she could always think it.

While these two were "examining" their new bodies, Harry and Ginny were just staring. Ron had been in shock and was not leaning against the wall to keep himself from falling.

"What the hell happened?" Harry blinked, unable to say anything.

Ginny shrugged, though sent a sly wink to Harry. His eyes widened and he quickly strode over to her.

"Ginny, what do you know?"

Ginny motioned her head towards Hermione and Draco and frowned. "I can't tell you yet. Meet me on Saturday and we'll talk, ok?" Harry nodded and turned back to the couple near them, who had now started to argue.

"If you touch me in any way Granger, I'll skin that bloody cat of yours!"

"Well MALFOY, if YOU do anything, I'll shave YOUR head!"

Draco clung tightly to his head only to find himself greeted with frizzy thick hair.

'OH. BLOODY. HELL.'

A scream could be heard throughout Hogwarts and Harry, Ginny, and Hermione lunged towards him and covered his mouth. However, it was too late. People had already heard the commotion. Panicking, Harry grabbed the Invisibility Cloak and cast a silencing charm on Draco. They raced out of the Astronomy Tower and watched as Snape and Filch past by them.

As they headed for the Gryffindor common room, a thought flashed through Hermione's mind.

"Will I be able to get into the common room? I'm a Slytherin now…"

At hearing this, Harry, Ron, and Ginny stopped in their tracks as friction prevented Draco from stopping as easily. Hermione looked uneasily around, feeling as though her news was about to get a lot worse.

"'Mione, I don't know what'll happen… Maybe we should tell Dumbledore?"

Hermione looked over at Harry, surprised that he was willing to be the "good boy" and do what she suggested for once. She was in no mood to play around. She turned back to Harry and nodded. "Yes, I think we should go see Dumbledore as soon as we can." As the Gryffindors walked, Draco stood planted in his spot. Ron turned and glared at him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Malfoy? We need to figure out how to help 'Mione!"

Draco shrugged. "She's the only one in trouble. And quite frankly, I don't give a damn what happens to her."

Ginny couldn't stand it any longer. She stomped over to Draco and glared angrily up at him.

"Look pal, if you don't help Hermione, she isn't going to be the only one in trouble! Don't forget, you're not pureblooded anymore!"

That was all Ginny needed to say to get Draco to move again.


The group stood before Dumbledore's office before realizing that they had no clue as to what the password was.

"Um, Fizzing Wizbees?"

"Chocolate Frogs?"

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?"

As Harry spoke the last syllable, the door opened and everyone rushed up, Hermione tripping over her own feet.

"Nice going Granger."

Hermione looked up and saw a smirking Draco. She glared angrily up at him and pressed herself up off the ground, strands of blonde hair covering her eyes. She pushed them away heatedly and stomped up the stairs after them.

Ron opened the door and everyone walked in behind him. Harry glanced around and saw no sign of Dumbledore. All that could be heard was everyone's breathing and a loud squawk produced from Fawkes. Harry ran over to him and pet him gently on the head. Seeing no sign of Dumbledore, they grudgingly walked out of the office, extremely discouraged and pessimistic.

"Well, what are we supposed to do now?" Hermione sighed and trailed a finger over her cheek. 'Hmm… smooth skin.'

"Well 'Mione, I was thinking of an alternative plan earlier, and maybe we could use the Room of Requirements?" Ron shrugged and was shocked to be hugged by Hermione.

"Oh thank you Ron! I need somewhere to sleep tonight! I'm much too afraid to go to the Slytherin common room!"

Draco smirked. "And as if I would tell you where it is! Or what the password is." Draco was shut up as Ginny smacked him on the head gently.

"You know, we're ALL going to stay with Hermione tonight. And that means YOU TOO." Ginny grabbed his shoulder and dragged him along with them. Harry walked by the Room of Requirements three times.

'We need a place to sleep. We need a place to sleep. We need a place to sleep.' Harry opened the door and was greeted with five beds with the house colors emblazed on each of the top quilts. Ginny bounded in and jumped on her bed excitedly. Hermione walked over to the Slytherin one and passed by it, her mouth curling up in disgust. Draco sat on the edge and glared at everyone else. Hermione shook her head at his behavior.

"Oh honestly Malfoy, do you REALLY think any of us are having much fine either? Why don't you stop pouting and grow up a little!" Before he had a chance to respond, she curled herself up under the warm covers and sighed, closing her eyes gently.

'Tomorrow is going to be a living hell.'
