Disclaimer: I own nothing here. Which I don't love, but what can you do? Even if I did own Harry Potter I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Not like J.K.
"A toad?" Draco smirked. "Do people still use those, then? Merlin's beard. I didn't know that."
Harry shrugged his shoulders. "No. Sorry." he told the girl.
"That's alright," she said, though she threw Draco a dirty look. It was clear by her expression. She didn't think much of him. That was, until she saw the window. Now a mirror. She pointed. "Oh! Who did that?"
"I did." Draco replied.
Harry nodded his agreement, looking at the mirror again.
"That's impressive," the girl said, stepping into the compartment and running her fingers along the mirror, very lightly of course, so as not to smudge the glass. "What charm did you use? Not Animadverto -- ?"
"No. It wasn't a charm. It was Transfiguration. Argentum. They teach that one to fifth years at Hogwarts... I learned it much earlier of course..." Draco said. There was no mistaking the bragging air to his voice.
But he has reason, Harry thought, realizing how very little he knew compared to those who had grown up like Draco...grown up knowing they were what they were. "Do you know what happened to my hair then?" he asked.
Draco shrugged his shoulders. "No, I don't." he answered.
"His hair? What about it?" the girl asked keenly, looking Harry over.
"It went blonde." Harry explained. "My face changed, too."
She looked like she wasn't sure whether she should believe him. "Really?" she asked.
"Yes, really." Harry and Draco said together.
Draco added, "Do you think he would lie?"
"No! It's just...well. What were you doing at the time?"
Harry blinked. "I dunno...shaking hands?" he guessed.
"Was there anyone else nearby? They could have charmed you when you weren't looking. It sounds like an Appearance Alteration charm to me."
"You and your charms." Draco muttered, shaking his head. That earned him another dirty look from her.
"But there wasn't anyone else." he said.
"That's...strange." she said, dropping down into the seat across from Harry. "What happened to those?"
"My cousin's fist." Harry said, holding them up.
"Hm...do you mind if I...?" the girl asked, pulling out her wand. When Harry shrugged she tapped the tip to the frames. "Reparo."
Harry gasped. The Scotch tape he'd used to keep the twisted metal together vanished, leaving the glasses looking as good as new. He held them up, turning them over in his hands. "Wow." he murmured.
"Too bad I won't be needing them anymore, though..." In response to her questioning look, he said, "My vision got better when everything else changed..."
"That's strange." she said again, putting her wand away. She looked from Harry to Draco. "Well...I expect we'll be arriving soon. You boys will want to get changed into your robes."
Harry nodded.
Draco looked disgruntled.
"D'you think the professors will know what's happened?" he asked her.
"Oh yes. I'm sure." she said, flashing him a smile. "Don't worry. It'll probably be that someone thinks they're playing a funny prank."
"Hope so."
She stood up, straightening the front of her robes. "I'm Hermione Granger, by the way." she said. The train was already starting to slow. She looked at Harry particularly when she said, "I'll see you in class."
And then she was gone.
Draco scowled.
"Bossy thing, isn't she?" he sneered.
