Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and I do not own the name or summary of Freaky Friday.
Summary: Ron and Hermione have been known to fight incessantly. So one day, the professors of the school say they've had enough and perform a little magic for them to see that each others lives aren't quite that simple, but only to find out that Ron and Hermione plan to make each others lives more miserable in a different way then never before. R/Hr H/G
It was like any ordinary day at Hogwarts as the three seventh year Gryffindors walked along the corridor leading the their common room. One carrying about a dozen books at hand while the other with at least one each.
"I can't believe Snape gave us a four-foot parchment report on what the effects and how to make the perfect Veritaserum," said Harry Potter to the two other Gryffindors next to him, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
"Haven't you learned by now, mate, there's no use complaining... it'll only make it worse" Ron exclaimed? "Why did we have to take potions again? I shouldn't have said I wanted to be an Auror... why didn't I just say a librarian or something," Ron moaned.
"But what is there to write about! A Veritaserum makes the drinker tell the truth...that's it!" Harry replied dramatically.
"But Harry, there is a lot more to it then that, you see..." Hermione began.
"Here we go again," said Ron as he rolled his eyes.
Hermione flashed a glare at him. "Well I am so sorry for wasting your precious and valuable time." She snapped.
"Apology accepted," said Ron smugly.
She shook her head with intense anger and quickened her step. "I'll see you down at dinner, Harry." She said coldly as she walked quickly through the portrait hole to the common room.
"What the bloody hell did I say!" Said Ron loudly.
"Mister Weasley!" Said a sharp voice from behind them. They spun around and saw Professor McGonnogal looking. "If you insist on speaking so loudly then I suggest you go outside," she said through pursed lips.
"Sorry Professor, it's just..." Ron began.
"I expected better language from a prefect," she said shrilly. "I won't take points off but I suggest you two go into your common rooms."
"Yes Professor," Harry said as Ron and he walked quickly through the portrait hole.
Professor McGonnogal walked back to the corridor where she met up with Professor Dumbledore. "I don't know what has gotten into Granger and Weasley lately, they interrupted my class only just a few days ago yelling on the top of their lungs something about Mr. Weasley not spending enough time on homework or something like that." Professor McGonnogal said to him.
"Ah yes, Harry has informed me about their arguments before, he tells me that they are getting more ghastly then ever." Professor Dumbledore said with a slight nod.
"What should we do Albus? We can't have two Gryffindors, one that happens to be Head Girl be in arguments all the time." She replied.
Dumbledore sighed heavily. "Well, there is one thing... we can do the same thing we did when James Potter and Lily Evans had the same ordeal." Dumbledore said in a mere murmur as Professor McGonnogal raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Minerva, please inform Severus that we need his assistance and meet me in the kitchen, you know the way." The Headmaster said with a slight smirk. Professor McGonnogal grinned slightly and rushed off to the Dungeons.
-*-*-*-*-
"Do you actually think she would have taken points off for talking loudly," Ron asked Harry as they set their books down on the coffee table in front of a couch.
"Not a clue, maybe," Harry shrugged as they sat down.
"You two can be real jerks sometimes," Ginny Weasley said as she walked down the stairs from the girls' dormitory.
"Nice to see you too, Ginny," Harry grinned at her with a sarcastic tone. She smirked at him with a scrunched up nose.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked her.
"You acted like a total prat to her. I mean, for Harry it's understandable, but I'm ashamed of you, Ron," Ginny snapped as she smiled at Harry. Ginny and Harry's relationship grown since the summer after Harry's fifth year when Harry spent the end of it at the Weasley's house. Hermione was constantly talking to her 'pen pal' Viktor Krum through owl post which took a lot of her time. And Ron mostly spent his summer either arguing with Hermione about 'Vicky' or practicing Quidditch.
The Weasley twins spent most of their time at their store in Diagon Alley that became a big overnight success and was almost running Zonkos out of business. So Harry spent most of his time with Ginny, talking about Quidditch, Sirius, friends, and even Cho. They had become even closer then Ron and Harry. Ginny had continued not being shy around Harry anymore. No one could even tell if she liked Harry anymore.
"Oh pipe it Ginny," Harry laughed as he threw a couch pillow at her.
"What did I do wrong?" Ron asked.
"She was trying to explain something to you, and you completely blew her off... again, duh" said Ginny as she rolled her eyes.
"Well, she shouldn't be so sensitive," Ron snapped.
"Ron, I'm surprised she's even talking," said Ginny.
"Why would you say that?" Harry asked.
"Because Viktor Krum stopped sending letters and I guess she's feeling unwanted or something," Ginny shrugged.
"Why would she feel sad? She should be happy about that if anything!" Ron snapped again. Ginny frowned deeply at him.
"Oh fine, I'll go apologize to her," He said, rolling his eyes.
Ginny looked very pleased with herself. Ron snapped. "Oh shoot... oops, I guess I can't. She's in the Girls' Dormitory and I can't get up there."
"Nice try, Ron. Just jump the sixth and seventh step and you can get up there. It worked for Dea..." Ginny quickly changed what she was saying and looked at her watch. "Deary me, I have to get down to dinner," she said innocently before racing out of the common room.
Harry tried not to burst out laughing while Ron shivered. He trudged up the stairs to the girls' dormitory, counting steps as he went along. Once he got to the fifth step he jumped the sixth and seventh which almost made him fall over. He climbed the rest of the staircases and looked around for a door until he saw one that said 'Seventh Year Dorm' and knocked.
"Hermione" he called as he knocked again. No one answered. He turned the doorknob and walked in. He looked around and saw Hermione curled up on her bed whilst Lavender Brown sat on a chair in front of a mirror with Lavender Brown casually braiding Lavender's long brown hair.
Parvati and Lavender looked over at Ron once he entered while Hermione just sat there.
"Hi Ron, I didn't think you would actually come up here." Lavender said, waving flirtatiously as Parvati giggled wildly.
Ron had become extremely popular with the girls ever since their 6th year when he had gotten a lot more 'healthy' from practicing Quidditch constantly over the summer. But he only had feelings for one girl as long as he could remember.
"Uh, hello ladies," Ron replied. "Mind if I had a word with Hermione," they both blinked. "Alone?" he added.
"Oh," Parvati frowned slightly as she dropped Lavender's hair as she stood up. "Yeah, we have to go to dinner anyway," she said coldly as the two began walking out the door, giving one threatning glare at Hermione and one ditzy smile and Ron.
Once they had left, Hermione spoke up. "What do you want?" she mumbled into her pillow.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry," he said as he stepped towards her.
She released the pillow away from her face. "Sorry for what?" she said in a voice that Ron knew she understood what he was saying, she just wanted him to play dog. But he wasn't going to play like that.
"You know what I mean. Ginny told me that Vicky stopped writing, so I know you must feel pretty bad."
Hermione didn't even bother to tell Ron off for calling Krum, Vicky. She just went straight to the point. "You shouldn't be sticking your noses in other peoples businesses," she snapped.
"Well it's not like you tell me anything in the first place," Ron snapped back.
"Do you want me to tell you something. I think you're the most arrogant and self centered git I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. The way you walk around all haughty like a pretty boy with a girl on each arm, not a care in the world. Just breezing through life." she hissed.
He looked partially stunned. "Well let me tell you something. You act like you're miss perfect how you prance around the school with your perfect grades and perfect life. Yeah, that's it isn't it... Miss perfect Hermione Granger, with her perfect perfect life with absolutely no flaws." He sneered at her as she gaped with her mouth hanging open. The both glared hard at each other.
"Why can't you just stay out of my life!" They both yelled at each other in unison. They both looked at each other with their faces burning with fury. Ron just turned around and walked through the door, slamming it hard behind him, making the windows shake.
He stormed down the stairs to find Harry sitting on one of the couches reading the Daily Profit. "So... uh... how'd it go?" Harry asked him cautiously, noticing Ron's face was beet red with anger. Ron walked past him towards the portrait hole. "I'm going to dinner," he muttered as he walked out to the hallway. Harry got up and followed him.
-*-*-*-*-
Ron was halfway through dinner when Hermione came storming into the Great Hall and walked swiftly to sit next to Ginny who was sitting a few people next to Harry who was across from Ron. Hermione shot him a cruel glance as she took a sip of pumpkin juice. Ron took his own goblet of juice and gulped it down. After he had put the last drop into his mouth he swished it around in his mouth with a puzzled look on his face. He swallowed quickly and looked over at Harry.
"Does the pumpkin juice taste a bit... funny to you?" Ron asked him.
Harry took a gulp from his own glass and looked back towards Ron. "No, mate. It's tastes fine, why?"
"Uh, no reason... it's probably just my imagination or something," He shrugged. Ron could feel eyes glued on him and quickly looked over at the teachers table. Professor Dumbledore at Professor McGonnogal quickly looked at each other and began talking rapidly. Ron shrugged and looked over at Hermione who was pounding her fork into the baked potatoes on her plate. He sighed heavily and bit into a roll. Hermione looked up at him and their eyes met. She glared hard at him again and he stood up.
"That's it, I'm going to bed," He muttered quickly to Harry before storming out of the Great Hall to the common room. -She can be a real pain the ass sometimes... I wish there was some way, something I could do to get her back for the things she said- he grumbled in his mind.
((Yay! Chapter 1 done! The actual plot is going to be set in the next chapter. I really wanted to get this story posted before the movie "Freaky Friday" would come out so more people wouldn't want to use this idea. *shrugs* REVIEW PLEASE!!!!))
