A/N: Wow, I'm surprised that everyone likes this so far! 15 reviews in two days is pretty darn good by my standards. At the end of the chapter, I'll add my comments to the reviewers. Here's chapter 3!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.


Chapter 3


Hermione wearily pushed herself out of the bed the next morning. She rubbed at her eyes and stretched, glancing over at the sleeping forms nearby. She ran her fingers through her new hair and gave a large sigh, which made Draco stir a bit. She glimpsed over at him and glared as he sat up, furious that he could look quite awake in a matter of seconds. Draco smirked at her and sat up, tugging irately at the tangled mess on his head that was known as hair.

"God Granger, how do you put up with all these knots every morning? It's horrible!" His fingers were now caught and tangled in the mess of hair and she smiled. 'At least he's getting annoyed. Maybe he's as uncomfortable as I am.'

He finally gave up and took out his wand, grinning. "Maybe I'll be able to fix this horrendous thing you call a head of hair." He muttered a spell and was greeted with an explosion, his face covered in smoke. Hermione snorted, trying to hold in a loud laugh. The noise woke the others and Harry spoke first, laughing in between words.

"Well Malfoy, you look so beautiful this morning! Would you perhaps like to take a shower though?"

Ron's ears were a bright shade of red and his large hand was hiding his equally large grin. Ginny just shook her head, embarrassed to be around some of these people. Harry kept laughing, and Hermione was just wondering as to how her hair would react and how she would have to fix it later when Draco was asleep or something.

That was just how the morning started. Now, let's go see how the rest of the day goes, shall we?


The group left the Room of Requirements and Hermione turned back to Harry, who she saw as the only other sensible person.

"What am I supposed to do? Where am I going to eat? At the SLYTHERIN table? And what about SLEEPING? I can't sleep in the Room of Requirements forever! People would notice if Malfoy was missing!"

Harry nodded as he listened to Hermione's reasoning and closed his eyes before thinking of something.

"What if you talked to Professor Snape?"

Hermione's mouth hung open and Draco's eyes popped.

"What?"

"Well, Malfoy's his favorite student, and you're sort of Malfoy now, so…Just tell him you forgot the password, and then we'll worry about the actual location of the Slytherin common room later."

Hermione smiled and hugged Harry tightly, who inwardly shuddered at the thought that he was being hugged by the body of his rival. She bounded down to the Dungeons, leaving everyone else behind.


Draco looked down at his skirt and realized something was very wrong indeed – he needed to use the restroom. BADLY. He looked over at everyone and, groaning in defeat, decided it was probably best to at least pretend to get along with them.

For now.

"Hey Potter, what am I supposed to do when I go to the bathroom?" Ron stopped in his tracks, his ears growing a deep red. He turned to Draco and grabbed him by the collar of Hermione's shirt.

"You're not allowed to go to the bathroom anymore! I won't let you look at Hermione!" Harry watched as Ron and Draco started arguing and he felt himself grow more tired by the second. Finally fed up with the incessant bickering, he shouted. "ENOUGH ALREADY!" Ron and Draco silenced quickly, Ron's hand pulling on Draco's cheek and Draco grabbing a fistful of Ron's hair.

"Malfoy, just, I don't know, just close your eyes when you go to the bathroom!"

"Wait, what about 'Mione?" Ron looked at Harry with a look of fear plastered on his face and now it was Harry who appeared dreadfully sick.

"Oh god."


Hermione stopped outside of the men's bathroom and stared at the door, unable to think of a good plan to keep her away from this inevitable fate.

'What am I going to do? I have to use the restroom eventually, but I've never used a…thing! I don't know how boys go to the bathroom!' She blushed at the thought and shook her head furiously.

'No! I have to do it!' She had only gone down to the Dungeon area to find Snape, and was disappointed to see that he was not in his office. On the way back up, to meet with Harry and Ron, she had had a strong need to go use the lavatory. Not a want to, a NEED to. She had rushed over, only to be faced with this problem. As she contemplated some more, she realized that her problem wasn't going to go away, and she needed to think of something. FAST.

'I've got it! I'll just close my eyes, and levitate "it" with a Wingardium Leviosa!' She smiled at herself and bravely strolled into the bathroom, her confidence level higher than normal.


Ginny smiled almost evilly. She was surprised at how well her plan had been going recently.

'Harry might be mad when I tell him tomorrow though. I hope he doesn't yell at me! I don't want him to hate me! Oh man!' She twirled her wand delicately and sighed. She put it down on the table, and started to pace around the fireplace of the Gryffindor common room.

"I should just avoid them at all times. Then, they won't find out it was I that did it! Oh boy, I already promised Harry I would explain this to him! This is a rare time where I don't want to see him!" She clutched her hands nervously and decided to head down to her first class.

"I can't let Harry know that I was the one who cast the spell. 'Mione and Malfoy are going to KILL me if they find out!"
