Draco and Hermione made their way up toward the Infirmary until they came to a staircase which had abruptly decided to connect to another passage. Even though they had seen this happen many times, Draco collapsed on the floor and rolled around laughing, while Hermione had to lean against the wall to stand up; tears streaming down her happy face.
'Hehe, lookit that!' She gasped. 'It ran away from us!'
'Stop laughing Hermione! People are going to think I've lost my mind!' Draco snapped, before bursting into gleeful laughter again. 'Stop it!'
'Ahahaha!' Hermione giggled. 'You, I mean I, can't stand up!'
'Ha, at least I'm still standing up!'
'What?' She stopped laughing; a look of confusion spreading out over her, ah, Draco's face. He didn't bother to explain but instead, while giggling, stood up and bounded gleefully over to the staircase that had swung back over to them. Hermione bounced onto it after him and they heard something behind them.
'Hermione;Professor Snape sent me to look after you guys!' Someone yelled from down the hallway. The two burst into laughter again and Ron barely made it onto the staircase before it swung out again. 'What's so funny?'
'Haha, it's the potion Ron.' Draco said calmly as he faced the boy. Ron nodded thoughtfully and smiled tentively at 'Hermione' who was now fighting to keep 'herself' from bursting out laughing again.
'Yes… indeed.' 'Draco' agreed with 'her'. Ron gaped at 'him' in shock and then fixed them with a suspicious gaze.
'Argh, Weasley, we swapped bodies.' Draco explained, breaking out in a massive grin. Ron seemed horrified.
'WHAT?!!'
'But as well as that, we're going to get so happy we'll explode!' Hermione laughed. 'We'll go absolutely mental round about… now.' Her head snapped up and she stared at Draco with wide eyes. 'I have an idea.'
'What?' Draco asked focusing completely on her face. Ron stared a little uncertainly at the two and tried to back away, but couldn't, because he was trapped on the same unruly staircase as they were.
'Let's go flying.' Hermione suggested with an evil gleam in her eyes. Ron stared at her in horror and as the staircase clicked with the passage, he ran off down it.
'Come back Weasley!' Draco cried after him. 'It'll be fun!'
'Ron you like flying on broomsticks, we just want to see if it'll work without one!'
'YOU TWO ARE STARK RAVING MAD!'
'I take offence!' Draco roared. 'Hermione, we have to find the House Elves.' He stopped in the middle of the hallway, her with him, but Ron kept running.
'…and lead a strike.' Hermione whispered in awe. 'You have the best ideas!'
'Nah, your one was better, it was quite funny seeing Ron's expression when he landed in the lake.' He said, even though it had never happened.
'Oh I suppose we should go and tell someone!' Hermione said with a concerned look on her face. 'He might catch cold and die!'
'What board game?' Draco asked suddenly. 'I have two die in my trunk.'
'Wizard Monopoly!' Hermione screeched.
'Are we wizards?' Draco asked in confusion.
'What?' Hermione asked blankly. They sat down with their backs against the wall contemplating this.
'Indeed.' Draco said after a short while. 'I'm hungry.'
'But where is the food?' Hermione cried in despair. 'We'll die!'
'We have to find someone to help us then.' Draco stated. 'Come on, I think I hear some voices now!'

Professor Snape walked briskly over to Granger and Malfoy's cauldron and peered at the insubstantial red substance. He stirred it twice with his wand and it went green. The antidote was ready.

Meanwhile, Draco had his ear pressed against the door to professor McGonagall's classroom. The woman was busy demonstrating to some students how to transfigure a kitten into a tea cosy, when the two students burst into the room.
'Can I help you Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger?' She asked expectantly. Draco grinned at her and ran up to her desk to steal the kitten. 'Mr Malfoy what on earth are you doing?' The Transfiguration Professor demanded in horror. 'Give that back, I am showing these students-'
'Look at this Draco.' Hermione said suddenly. He promptly dropped the kitten (saved by McGonagall of course) and stared with interest at the stick she was holding.
'She has one.' He said, pointing at the Professor. He snatched it from Hermione's hand and pointed it at the teacher. Her hat immediately turned into a barn owl, which flew off out the window, hooting indignantly.
'What is the meaning of this?' Professor McGonagall demanded. She opened her mouth to continue when Snape appeared in the doorway.
'All under control, a potion gone awry and the student meant to take them to the Infirmary ran off.' He handed a vial of the green potion to each student and instructed them to drink it. Within seconds, both were back in their own bodies, and once again sane.
'Didn't we have potions?' Draco asked suddenly. 'What are we doing here?'
'Probably got here the same way you ended up you-know-where.' Granger sniffed with disdain. She noticed Professor McGonagall eyeing her steadily and smiled meekly. 'Sorry for any trouble we've been.'
'Ten points from Gryffindor and ten from Slytherin.' The Transfiguration teacher snapped. The two students stared at each other in horror. What had they done in between the time they drank the potion and now? Then of course, they realised what they were doing, and scowled.
Draco wandered back to potions with Snape and Granger to pick up his satchel, and met Weasley.
'ARGH!!' The idiot screamed and ran away from him. Was it just him, or did that boy get stupider as time went on? He glanced at Granger and a thoughtful expression came over his face. He still had to sort out how he had gotten into the girls' dormitory. Whether she liked it or not, she was going to help him.

A/N: Yeah, I went a bit off track. Plus I realised I was writing a Draco-turns-into-a-girl fic and freaked out. What was I thinking??!
RiRiana: Okay!!
Sporty12gd4u: Lol thankyou.
HOPS: Hmm whoops. I think I did what you said not too. Ha, but they won't remember; they'll get a few strange looks, but they'll only be confused.
Ehlonna: Yeah I'm trying to think of a way to describe that, which won't have you screaming stuff like, 'WANDLESS MAGIC CAN NOT DO THAT!!' etc. Hmmm…
RebaFan.LoveHerSongsToo: I added the chapters but they don't become available for a while. So… if I say a chapter is up, it'll be up soon.
