A/N Sorry for the long wait. Had WAY too many stuff to do! Please blame it on my darn school and its homework. (Puts on a fake smile) Have a good day!
Chapter 4: Animal Crackers
I'm going to do Harry's right now too! So it'll be double the fun and love! Hermione thought gleefully.
She now said Harry's full name out loud too and recited the spell that followed in the 8-ball.
"Mother? What's wrong"
Draco's mother was standing there. Tissue in her hand. Sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mother? Tell me!"
She looked at him. Her eyes filled with distress. "Our secret animal crackers recipe…it's… it's…gone!" She started bawling again.
"WHAT! NOT THE SACRED ANIMAL CRACKERS RECIPE! ANYTHING BUT THAT MOTHER! PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!"
She looked down in dismay.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Draco got down on his knees and threw his hands up in the air as he clenched his fists.
He finally looked up grief stricken and asked shakily, "Would I at least please have the name of our culprit?"
Narcissa Malfoy hesitated. "Harry Potter"
Draco Malfoy woke up with "Murder Harry potter!" racing across his mind. The same thought was in his head as he dressed and the same thought was in his head as he headed down to the Great Hall, but not for Breakfast, for Revenge!
He had never been happier to see Harry by the entrance of the great hall. Ignoring Hermione and Ron's protests, Draco grabbed Harry by the shirt and pinned him to the wall. "Where is it." Draco demanded from the already confused Harry.
Harry glared. "I don't know what you're talking about Malfoy."
Draco stared back icily. "You know exactly what I'm talking about Potter! You stole our sacred recipe for animal crackers! And I demand that you give it back or I'll tear you to pieces!"
Oblivious to both of them, a crowd of Hogwarts students had gathered around them.
Harry turned pale. "Y-you wouldn't be selling these animal crackers, would you?"
"Yes! But you would already know that now wouldn't you!"
Harry turned even paler and whispered something to Draco's ear. Draco nodded.
If you saw Harry now, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from him and a ghost. Draco let go of him, but still glared.
Harry gritted his teeth. "No one steals my favorite animal crackers recipe! No one!" He looked at Draco, "Look, I know that I didn't steal the recipe and I know that you didn't either, so let us join forces and find the bloody thief!" He extended a hand. "Partners?"
Draco took it. "Partners. Come, we have work to do, but after breakfast." Everyone stared in awe as the two former enemies, walked together through the entrance of the Great Hall.
One person in the crowd finally spoke up. "It's amazing what can happen in less then five minutes."
"Amen." Another person said shortly after.
After eating breakfast, both Harry and Draco went to the library to discuss on what they were going to do.
"First," Draco told Harry, "we need to write down a list of suspects."
"No, remember, everyone is as suspect."
"Your right." Draco agreed. "We're going to have to do this the hard way."
Harry looked at him questioningly. "And what exactly is the hard way?"
He narrowed his eyes. "We'll have to spy on, everybody."
Harry stared at him wide-eyed. "Everybody?"
Draco nodded. "Everybody."
Harry sighed. "Ok, for now, you do the Slytherins and I'll do the Griffindors. It'll be easier for both of us then, deal?"
"Deal. Let's go."
Mission Impossible Music plays So Harry and Draco went to their common rooms. But while they were leaving the library, they overheard something…
"Well, I'd better go and check on my tastys in the oven!"
They both turned around. It was Snape! And he appeared to have been talking to himself. He now headed for the dungeons.
Harry and Draco exchanged a glance and nodded. They followed Snape all the way down to the dungeons.
Using Harry's invisibility cloak to hide them.
"Holy-"Draco started as he and Harry were suddenly revealed to a hidden room with a kitchen. Complete with frilly curtains on the windows and pink oven mitts.
Snape put on the mitts and opened the oven, to reveal a whole tray of…animal crackers! (Surprise surprise) Both Harry's and Draco's jaw dropped. Harry looked at the blonde head beside him. His eyes were filled with fury, but when something clicked in his mind, they turned back to normal.
"We have to see if those are the actual ones. But how?" Draco muttered under his breath just enough for Harry to hear. They were both deep in thought for a moment. Suddenly, Harry whispered something in Draco's ear. Draco's eyes widened as he gradually turned his head to look at Harry in awe.
"Ok, number one, what the hell!? And number two, do you even know the spell?"
Harry shrugged. "I read in the daily prophet once. And being the best friend of the smartest girl in Hogwarts sorta rubs off on you."
Draco nodded slowly.
"C'mon. We have to go somewhere, more-"he paused as he gave Draco the you-know-what-I-mean glance.
They hurried out as Harry led both of them to Moaning Myrtles bathroom.
Draco looked around as they entered. "Hey-"
"Don't ask." Harry interrupted.
"Ok…"
Harry looked at the Slytherin squarely in the face. "Remember, close your eyes right when I say the spell, and don't open them until the odd feeling stops! Are you ready?"
He nodded.
Harry lifted his wand, "Altera Sintryio!"
A Blue light emerged from Harry's wand. They both closed their eyes. A strange sensation came over both of them. Both feeling like they were turning to jelly still had their eyes shut tight. Then, the feeling was gone. They opened their eyes as they both looked at themselves, shocked for words. Draco, who had turned into an attractive 30 year old blonde with soft curls up to her shoulders, was the first to recover.
"So," Draco said with his new feminine voice, "where exactly did you find this spell again?"
Harry looked at him. He had turned into an also very attractive 30 year old with long straight black hair, making his/her green eyes look incredibly stunning. "In the Daily Prophet, about these two Aurors going undercover."
"Interesting..."
Both of them also noticed their new change of wardrobe.
"Wow." Harry said noticing this.
"You can say that again." Draco said as he also looked at himself. He walked back towards the entrance. "Ready to go then?" He smirked. (Yes! The same Malfoy smirk!)
Harry sauntered over to him, nearly tripping. "Darn high heels..."
With that, they both walked down the halls towards the Potions Dungeon.
Ignoring the constant whistles of passing students, they went on. When they finally arrived, Draco knocked on the door twice. Snape came to the door. He paused he checked both of them out. Particularly Harry. Harry shivered in disgust. Their Potions professor smiled, "Would you two like to come in for tea?" Harry froze.
"We'd be delighted!" Draco answered quickly so when Snape turned around he jabbed Harry hard in the ribs.
"Ow!"
Snape turned around, "Excuse me?"
"Uh, I mean, how kind it is of you." He/She smiled nervously.
Snape dismissed the strange action as he led them both to a couch. "Please wait here while I get some tea." He left.
Harry turned to look at Draco, "What was that for?!"
"Pay more attention next time!"
"Fine…"
Snape had come back by now with a plate of animal crackers and three cups of tea.
They both took a cup of tea. "Well, I've never seen you two around here before. And I think I'm pretty sure I would have noticed such stunning ladies around here. What are your names?" He looked at Harry in particular.
He/She shivered once more. Ew! Ew! Ew! "My name is Har-"He/She felt a painful kick not surprisingly from Draco. "Har-Harriet!" Harry er..slash Harriet replied happily at his quick thinking.
Snape nodded. "And you?" He glanced at Draco.
"Um…Dracleen" replied the Draco slash Dracleen as (A/N ok, it's getting pretty annoying doing the slash thing, so I'll just call them she's until they turned back to normal) she smiled.
Harry and Draco had now finished the plate of animal crackers.
Snape smiled, "Delicious aren't they?"
They nodded.
"Then I'll just go get you some more." He left.
Dracleen looked at Harriet. "It's definitely them!" He gestured to the empty plate of animal crackers.
"So? What do you suggest we do now?"
"Just act normal! We'll figure something out!"
Snape came back with another plate of animal crackers.
Dracleen got up. "I think we should be leaving now. I have some work to do." She looked at Harriet expectantly.
"Oh! And me too. It was delightful to meet you kind sir. Good bye!"
"Good bye!" Harriet and Dracleen said as they showed themselves to the door. They barely made it to Moaning Myrtles bathroom just in time to transform once again.
"I'm so glad to have my body back!" Harry cried.
"Ditto." Draco said, "But you know what this means."
Harry looked at Draco, "What?"
"War."
A/N Look what Hermione's done! Tut tut tut! Review please!
