The five of them stood quietly in the room the only noise that filled the air was the occasional snicker from Harry and Ron. Draco had gone into a kind of strange trance. It was bad enough that he had been caught kissing Hermione by Potter and Weasley but then to find out that he had actually been kissing Snape. It was all just too much for him, how would he explain this to his friends and his father, he shuddered at the thought of what his father would do. He stood transfixed at a small spot on the wall.
Snape was having similar thoughts. He finally decided that the only reason he had enjoyed the kiss so much was because of his present situation. Being Hermione had clearly messed up his mind. After all it had not been that long ago he had been looking at Hermione in the same romantic way. He would need to have a large drink after all this was over. Life had been so much simpler when he was a death eater. For the moment the past was unimportant. He had to concentrate on getting himself out of the situation at hand. Hermione appeared to be trying to talk to Draco.
Hermione and Snape seemed to be the only ones who were actually thinking logically about the situation. The more people who knew the bigger the risk of them being found out and getting into serious trouble. Hermione glanced at Snape she was sure at his age he could not risk getting sacked, where else would take him on? She could not imagine that being a double agent paid that well. She decided once and for all that never again would she allow herself to be dragged into Ron and Harry's little games. She really was far too mature for them now. Without her Harry would be lost and without her Harry would probably be so caught up in his games with Ron that he would let the Dark Lord win. If only the two of them would grow up a little. At that moment in time she needed to sort things out. Perhaps she could talking to Draco would be the best method.
"Look Draco I'm sure we can sort this mess out. None of us are particularly pleased with the situation but perhaps we could work something out... "
Hermione played the line over in head and realised how dodgy it must have sounded to Draco.
"Not work something out in that way... I mean we could talk about the situation and try and come to some sort of agreement..."
It just kept getting worse. Draco could not get around what he saw and heard in his mind. Snape was talking to him but really it was Hermione. Perhaps it was all a crazy dream. Yes that would explain a lot of things. A crazy stupid dream. All he needed to do was wake up. He slapped himself hard across the face. No nothing Snape/Hermione was still stood in front of him. It would take something much harder to wake him up. The four of them stood bemused as Draco Malfoy ran into the wall and knocked himself out.
"What on earth did he think he was doing?"
Harry and Ron shrugged their shoulders.
"Guess it was all just too much for him. Perhaps it was getting off with you that did it to him Snape."
Snape raised his eyebrows. He was sure that in Hermione's body it just did not have the same effect. Hermione began to stress, it was glaringly obvious that talking to Draco was not going to sort the problem out. But what else was there that she could do? Luckily for her due to one reason or another Snape was well trained in the art of wiping people's memories. It did not normally work on a strong wizards mind but in a wizard of Draco's abilities it would be perfect.
"Listen you two stand Malfoy up."
The boys were about to question why but from the look on Snape's face it was not a good idea. Snape muttered a few words under his breath and suddenly Draco's face went completely blank.
"Now all we need to do is think of a story to tell him which can explain exactly what he is doing in my room."
Hermione and Snape wandered off to the other side of the room to work out what to say. He did not want those two imbeciles trying to interfere. No he was sure that he and Miss Granger would come up with the ideal plan.
Ron and Harry seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. How many more times would they have such an excellent chance to humiliate Draco.
"What should we make him do first?"
Thoughts rushed through their heads. So many different things. Ron came up with an idea first. He whispered to Harry who snickered.
"Perfect."
Ron turned to address Draco directly.
"Lets start with something nice and easy we wouldn't want to tax your brain too much. When I click my fingers you will cluck like a chicken..."
Ron and Harry could barely contain their laughter as Draco clucked around the room like a chicken. Ron especially took great pleasuring in inflicting such a humiliation on his enemy. The only downside was that in a few minutes Draco would have no memory of it. The laughter attracted the attention of both Hermione and Snape who had been busily discussing their plans for Draco as well as other things. Hermione shook her head.
"What have you two done? It's dangerous to play about with people's minds. You could do serious damage."
Ron shrugged. It was not as if he cared about permanent damage being done to Draco's mind. In fact it would probably improve him. Hermione could really be a bore at times.
The boys were pushed off into a cupboard along with Snape while Hermione explain to Draco what he was doing.
"When you wake up you will remember that Snape was talking to you about Qudditch practise on Saturday. He will be annoyed with for disturbing him so late at night. Do not disagree with him and do exactly as he asks. You will have no memory of the past half hours."
She stood back satisfied with her work and clicked her fingers. Draco woke from his trance and stood staring at Snape or at least who he thought was Snape.
"Now back to your dormitory now Malfoy and I don't want to see you in here again."
Draco stood slightly bemused by the situation. There was a small voice in the back of his head trying to tell him something but he could not work out what it was.
"I said now!"
The shout made him jump and he quickly left the room. Harry, Ron and Snape came out from behind the door as Hermione let out a sigh of relief.
"Well that's one problem sorted out now all I have to deal with is you two."
The boys looked at her slightly startled. What on earth did she intend to do? They definitely did not like Hermione as much when she was Snape. Snape on the other hand was rather staring to like her...
