Isn't That Me?

Chapter 5

Whee...another chapter!

"That was hilarious. You did really well," Claise said when no one was around. "Great acting," he said with a playful punch to Draco's arm.

Draco glared at Blaise.

"Blaise. That's disgusting," he stated.

"Whatever you say Drakie," Blaise smirked and pranced around like a sexcrazed cartoon character. Draco screamed in frustration and stomped after Blaise.

--------

"If only you knew how gay you are," Draco called after Blaise as he disappeared into the Slytherin common room. Draco sighed to himself and walked down the corridors to the Great Hall.

"Miss Granger!" Professor McGonagall placed a hand on Draco's shoulder.

"Please go and see Professor Dumbledore in his office. The password is 'Everlasting Gobstoppers'," Professor McGongall wrinkled her nose and walked away.

Draco trudged down to Professor Dumbledore's office. He saw Hermione (or himself) walking towards Dumbledore's office as well. They caught each other's eyes and turned away.

Draco noticed Hermione walking faster and he followed.

"I'm going to beat you Malfoy," she muttered to Draco.

"Not if I reach first," Draco shot back.

They both broke into a run and Draco grabbed onto the gargoyles neck.

"Ha! I'm FIRST- OOMPH!" Hermione coudln't stop in time and they both crashed into each other.

"YOU MORON!" Draco yelped and rubbed his arm gingerly.

Hermione was whimpering as Draco said the password. The gargoyle sprang to life and revealed a staircase leading to Dumbledore's office.

"Hey, aren't you coming!" Draco snapped at Hermione who was still sitting on the floor.

"I sprained my ankle," she whimpered. Draco rolled his eyes and walked up the stairs, not the least bit bothered about Hermione.

Draco walked halfway up the stairs before turning around. Hermione was trying to stand up but she kept falling.

Oh lord...he thought as he trudged back down the steps.

"Come on Granger," he took her arm and pulled but Hermione growled and snatched her arm back.

"I don't need your help," she mumbled.

"Don't be stupid Granger," Draco rolled his eyes. "You sprained your ankle. You need help and I'm going to give it to you. Now give me your hand," he ordered.

Hermione pouted and stuck out her hand. Draco grinned and put her arm around his neck and helped Hermione up the stairs. He used his free hand to knock on the door.

"Come in," he heard Dumbledore say.

Draco pushed open the door and helped Hermione into a chair.

Dumbledore was smiling behind his beard but Draco and Hermione didn't notice. "Thanks," Hermione mumbled.

"No problem."

"Well," Professor Dumbledore said. "I've called the both of you here because I think I have found a cure to your dilemma."

Draco and Hermione gasped.

"REALLY!" Hermione squealed.

"THANK GOD!" Draco sighed.

Dumbledore reached into his drawers and pulled out two tubes of purple potion.

"Here. Drink it. If it doesn't work its alright. It tastes just like grape juice."

Hermione and Draco reached for a tube and drank it.

There was a flash of purple light.

"YES!" Draco saw himself in the mirror behind Dumbledore. "I'm me again!" he cheered.

"Oh god! Finally!" Hermione smiled when she looked like herself again.

Dumbledore let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong sir?" Hermione asked, concerned.

"Yeah, Professor. It worked didn't it?" Draco said.

"It did not...You still look like each other," Dumbledore said with another sigh.

Hermione and Draco looked at each other. Hermione looked at Draco and sure enough, Draco was blond and gray eyed. Hermione herself looked normal.

"No, we don't..." Hermione said, confused.

"Really?" Dumbledore rubbed his eyes. "I think that's because the potion allowed the both of you to look like yourselves in your own eyes alone. I still see you as Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger. And you as Miss Granger, Mister Malfoy."

Well, that's it! I hope you liked it!
