Draco began separating the sprigs of thyme as Granger diced the snake eyes and glanced at her when she wasn't looking. Her hair was tied back and she wore no makeup, but her face was one of those interesting ones that had an odd, haunting quality to it. Like, you saw it, but wanted to see it again because it looked different from everyone else's. It was quite bizarre actually.

She tossed the unicorn hair in when she was done dicing the eyes and he dropped the sprigs of thyme in one at a time. They carefully added the four drops of beetle blood, stirred four times clockwise, put in the two eagle feathers, snake eyes, and a petal from a Flame Tree, the dragon heart and let it boil for exactly three minutes. When they were done, Granger put out the flames beneath the cauldron with a flick of her wand and they both stared at their potion… it was the wrong colour. Everyone else, but Neville, had a shimmering blue potion that looked insubstantial, but theirs was red. Snape marched up to them and handed out two vials.

'What are you waiting for? Drink it.'

'But Professor-' Draco began.

'Your mark for today depends on this potion, and how it results. Drink it or get a zero.'

'Yes professor Snape.' Granger said meekly. They both scooped some potion into their vials and on the count of three and a whispered good luck, downed it in a single gulp.

Hermione almost choked on the bitter taste but managed to keep it down. She glanced at Malfoy and he stared back at her.

'Nothing's happening.' He shrugged. He reached past her to set his vial onto the desk and as they touched, Hermione felt an odd tugging sensation. Her eyes closed briefly, and she opened them to find she had moved a few paces away from where she'd been standing earlier. In fact…

No. No! She stared in horror at herself standing by her desk with her hair pulled back into a ponytail and her prefect badge gleaming on her robes. Then she glanced down at Malfoy's body; at his prefect badge and his robes. Oh no.

'What seems to be the problem here?' Snape asked her suddenly. She stared at him with wide eyes and he did a double take. 'Malfoy… you seem to have switched eye colour with Granger. Zero points for both of you.'

'Professor…' Malfoy in Hermione's body said weakly. Snape glanced at him, er; her in surprise and then the smirk vanished from his face.

'Are you?' He spun to look at ah, Malfoy, 'you?' Hermione, er, Malfoy nodded soberly. The Potions Professor gaped at them both. 'Off to the hospital wing now!' He barked.

They didn't need to be told twice, and they bolted out the door. Once they were out of earshot, Malfoy spun to face Hermione with a look of livid fury.

'What the hell? How in bloody hell did this happen?' He roared with her hair billowing out behind him. 'I sure as hell didn't screw it up! Wasn't this supposed to be a mood-lightening potion?'

'Oh no.' Hermione whispered in horror. 'I didn't say the light spell, did you?'

'No… but the four drops of beetle blood; were they supposed to be…?'

'Three.' Hermione said in shock. Malfoy winced;

'Bloody hell.' She blinked and the reality of the situation hit her.

'I'm in your body.' She stated.

'Oh well that was an intelligent guess.' Malfoy muttered. 'I'm glad to see you can state the overly-obvious.'

'Oh shut up!' Hermione cried. 'What are we going to do?'

'Go the hospital wing perhaps?' He smirked. She glared at him and clenched her, his fists.

'Bastard!' And with that, she strode away from him down the hallway.

-

Draco watched her go and winced. He was in a girls' body… Granger's body! He freaked out momentarily and then ran to catch up with her.

'What do I do?' He said hysterically. 'I'm a guy; I like girls but… I don't want to be one!'

'Oh shut up Ferret!' She snapped. It was quite odd to see him insulting… himself. She had his voice but walked like a girl and talked like a girl. He felt like going to sleep until this was all over. People were going to think he was gay.

'Please don't do that.' He said suddenly.

'What?'

'Don't pout… it's unnerving.' She threw an unreadable look at him and then dissolved into hysterical laughter. He stared at her in annoyance. The second time today he'd burst out laughing, and once again her fault.

'Do you realise how funny this is?' She shrieked. 'We've swapped completely! You're Hermione, and I'm Draco!' He stiffened at the use of his first name and she realised what she had said. 'Why do we do that?'

'Do what?'

'Call each other by our last names?'

'I guess it's just something people do here? I mean, all the teachers do it do we probably picked it up off them.'

'But we don't do it to our friends.'

'That's because we're more relaxed around them.'

'I just used your first name though; that means I must be relaxed around you.' He blinked at her.

'So we are. That's interesting isn't it Gra- Hermione.'

'Yes Mal- Draco, very.' He laughed suddenly and she joined in with them. They began to walk leisurely towards the hospital wing, the Infirmary, when a thought struck him in his ecstatic mood.

'You know, we nearly had a perfect mood-lightening potion there; I think we've got some effects from it as well as this incident.'

'Oh the mood-lightening is caused by the petals from the Flame Tree. But the rest of the ingredients are to stop the ecstasy from building up in you until you lose it completely. That combination was the only one that prevented it…' She trailed off and her, his eyes went wide. 'We didn't get the combination right.' Hermione cried before bursting into laughter again. 'That's why we're so happy!'

'That is bad.' Draco grinned. 'I guess we better hurry to the hospital wing; how long until we lose it completely?'

'I'd say about three more minutes. We're not going to be able to control ourselves.' Hermione shrieked loudly with laughter again and wincing, Draco held his hands over his ears.

'Shall we run to the hospital wing?' He laughed.

'Ahahaha, run!' Hermione giggled. Draco joined in with her and they continued at their drunken-like gait, towards the uppermost part in the castle.

Who's there?

Dis

Dis who?

Dis is not my story…

Ahaha how gay was that?

A/N: Wow, you had to wait long for my update, you single person who has read this partially (if you've continued). Don't worry, I haven't abruptly changed direction in my plot, this is just a random subplot. They're fun. Now, a question: What other couple would you like to see? It can't have Ron in it because he's currently obsessed with Hermione, in case you didn't pick that up by the two subtle hints I've inserted. Nor will I write Slash or Incest…
