Chapter 6
Hermione gripped the book tightly against her chest and continued , "It looks like all you need to do is learn your lesson from your bodies being switched." She looked up, "Apparently, you two have something you need to learn from each other's experiences."
'Draco' scoffed, "I have nothing to learn from Weasley."
'Ron' laughed, "And I have nothing to learn from Malfoy."
Not moving from her spot, Hermione said, very cautiously, "Then you will be stuck like this for a very long time." Nobody made a noise. 'Draco' and 'Ron' looked at each other in disbelief. Draco didn't want to be like this any longer than he had to so he stood up and cleared his throat…
"I, Draco Malfoy, hereby claim that Ronald Weasley, whom I have switched bodies with, to be a good person and not a Muggle-lover or a twit as we said he was…so…"he paused for a moment, "I take it all back." Everyone in the audience to this statement was surprised. No one had ever expected Draco Malfoy to ever say anything like that. The pale face of Draco Malfoy that Ron had been wearing for a few hours now began to grow red.
"Thanks, Malfoy. You're a real pal." Ron stood up and patted his body on the back.
"Well, Ron, don't expect to hear it again." Draco straightened his Gryffindor robes around his chest, "It's strictly for medicinal purposes."
Ron then stood a bit taller and began in a small voice, "I, Ronald Bilius Weasley,…" Pansy chuckled upon hearing Ron's middle name, but Ron just shot her a look and continued, "…hereby claim that Draco Malfoy, whom I have switched bodies with, to be a good person and not a foul git or a…" Ron coughed at this point, not wanting Draco to know what he had called him in the past, "and therefore, I take it all back."
There was a slight breeze in the room and everyone began looking around for the source. Draco and Ron began to glow white and gold with the brightness of the sun. The wind picked up and Draco and Ron rose slightly into the air. A voice of a women was then heard by the small group of friends:
"Your lessons learned,
your lives are switched.
Now go and do likewise
And never bewitch."
Everything stopped; the wind, the glowing, and the floating. Ron and Draco were back in their original positions, looking at each other. "I'm back!" Ron exclaimed, jumping into the air and then hugging Hermione.
Draco smirked and fixed his cloak, which was now green and silver. "I'm glad to be back to myself." He turned to Hermione and, for the first time, smiled at her, "Thanks, Hermione."
Looking over Ron's shoulder as he hugged her, Hermione smiled back, "You're welcome, Draco."
Ron was so excited that he jumped from Hermione to Draco, who was directly behind him and hugged him without thinking. "I'm so happy!"
Harry watched as his best friend hugged his…well, 'new friend'. He had never seen Ron so joyous and jumpy. He was glad to have him back.
Gaining back some reality, Draco and Ron let go of each other, realizing what had just been done. Draco brushed off his robes and quickly said, "Thanks, Ron." Turning around, Draco then walked off with the same snooty walk that he had always had. "Stay off of me, Weasley!" he shouted back and then winked at Ron and his friends.
AN: Thanks for reading my story! I really liked writing it, but it took me a while to finish it. I don't really like the ending so if you have any other ideas of how to finish it, please PM me!
Thanks again!
