A/N: Thanks to all my lovely reviewers! All of you rock! Anyway, as my thanks, here's another chappie. Oh, and if you're wondering why Dumbledore's here, this is in their fifth year. So he hasn't died yet. And neither has Sirius! Yipee! Okay, sorry. Here you are.
Disclaimer (I forgot to do it for the first chappie!): I do not own any of the characters you see in this fanfic. They all belong to J.K. Rowling. But the plot is mine! Heh.
Chapter Two
: Flashback:
"Malfoy, you insolent—"
"Forget that, Granger!" said Draco, in a voice so urgent that even in her temper Hermione was inclined to listen. "The potion's gonna blow!"
Just as he said that, their Shrinking Solution gone-wrong exploded and splat all over the both of them.
-
"Blimey!" exclaimed Ron as he and Harry to where the potion had exploded all over Hermione and Malfoy. "Hermione!"
"Hermione?" said Harry softly.
Where Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger should have been, were two very small, very tiny babies.
:End of Flashback:
When he saw the two babies there instead of Hermione and Draco, Ron yelled, "What the hell happened?"
"Silence, Weasley," said Snape. He pushed his way to the front of the crowd and stared down at the two babies. He bent down on one knee and peered at them. After a few seconds, he got up and said, "Potter, Weasley. Get Professor Dumbledore."
Harry and Ron left the class immediately. Once out of earshot, they started talking.
"What do you think happened, Harry?" asked Ron.
Harry looked thoughtful. "Well, it is a Shrinking Solution…Maybe something went wrong."
"That bastard Malfoy probably did something to it," said Ron angrily, clenching his fists. "Well, look where that got him. Serves him right."
Just then, they stopped. They reached the stone gargoyle which was the entrance into Dumbledore's office. Harry looked at Ron. "Any idea what the password is?"
"Don't look at me, mate," Ron said, shrugging.
Harry looked at the gargoyle. "Uhh…Sugar quill?"
The gargoyle didn't move.
"We don't have time for this!" said Ron in frustration, wringing his hands.
"Mr. Weasley, what is the problem?" said a voice from behind. Harry and Ron turned around. Sure enough, there was Dumbledore, his blue eyes twinkling behind the ever-present half-moon glasses.
"Sir, it's Hermione and Malfoy," said Harry quickly. "Something went wrong with their Shrinking Solution in Potions, and it—"
"Exploded all over them and now they're BABIES!" finished Ron rather hysterically.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. "My, what an awful predicament," he said. "Let us not waste anymore time than what has been wasted already. We must see how Professor Snape is with them."
Without another word, he started walking very quickly towards the Potions classroom, Harry and Ron at his heels.
-
Back in the Potions classroom, the two babies were getting a lot of attention. All the students were playing with the recently-altered Draco and Hermione while waiting for Dumbledore to arrive. Snape couldn't do anything but stare down at them with disgust and contempt.
Just then, Dumbledore walked into the classroom.
Snape walked up to him and said, "Professor, something happened to their Shrinking Solution. It erupted and spilt onto Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger. I'm afraid I've run out of the antidote, Headmaster."
"Could you brew some more soon, Severus?" asked Dumbledore.
"Of course, Headmaster," said Severus. "But it will take a few days."
"If you could start brewing it as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated, I am sure."
"Of course, Professor." With that, Snape left the classroom through a door in the back from which he always entered at the start of each class.
Dumbledore then turned to Harry and Ron, who were both still standing behind him. "I'm afraid you two will have to look after Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger for the time being."
"WHAT?" asked Ron, rather loudly. "Sorry," he said, his ears turning pink.
After elbowing Ron in the ribs, Harry asked, "Professor, we'll take care of Hermione. Can't you ask the Slytherins to look after Malfoy?"
"I'm afraid not, Harry," said Dumbledore kindly. "The Slytherin students will not be able to take care of him as well as you two will be able to. They're a bit too—"
"Dim," muttered Ron.
Harry was trying very hard not to burst out laughing.
Dumbledore smiled good-naturedly down at Harry and Ron.
Harry said, "Okay, Professor, we'll look after them."
Dumbledore's smile broadened. "Thank you, boys. And this arrangement won't last long. Probably around a couple of days while Professor Snape is brewing the potion. After that, everything will be back to how it was."
-
After magicking Draco and Hermione into diapers and shirts (a green shirt for Draco and a red one for Hermione), Harry carried Draco and Ron carried Hermione back to the Gryffindor common room. Ron absolutely refused to carry Draco, so Harry had to carry him.
When they walked in, all the Gryffindors stared. Then there was a buzz of excitement as everyone started rushing towards Harry, Ron, and the two adorable babies.
Harry and Ron let the people play with them for a while, as it got the babies off their backs. The two of them left Hermione and Draco to the crowd and went to sit beside the fire to play a game of Exploding Snap.
Then suddenly, there was no crowd around Hermione and Draco. When Harry and Ron went to them, a foul stench met their noses.
"Ugh! What the hell is that?" asked Ron, pinching his nose.
Harry winced and pinched his nose too. "I think they had a poop."
Ron stared at Harry in disbelief. "You're kidding. What do we do now?"
Harry winced again and said, "Well, in the Muggle world, we'd have to change their diapers."
Ron let out a half-laugh and said, "Oh, so that's what you call those things!" Then he scrunched up his face like he always does when he's scared or disgusted. "Thank God for magic."
A/N: Well, that's it for now. I know that was really short as well, but I didn't have time to make it longer as my sister was shoving me off the computer. Sorry. I hope you read the author's note at the top of the page. If you didn't, I'll save you the trouble of scrolling up. It said Dumbledore's still alive because at the moment, Harry and everybody else is in their fifth year at Hogwarts, so Dumbledore (and Sirius, at the moment) isn't dead. Yay!
Please review, thanks.
