"Bloody Hell." Ron murmured to himself as he saw the approaching figure. The man that was quickly nearing them looked identical to Harry.
The three students all put a hand on their wands, ready to defend themselves from this doppelganger.
"Who are you?" The brave Harry asked the man first as he was getting closer and closer to the trio.
"Oh my god! It's really you!" The man approaching said in pure excitement. He came to a halt just in front of the seated students, staring quizzically at this strange man, who was identical to Harry. "What year is this for you guys?" Daniel asked the stunned characters in front of him. "Going by your hair," Daniel gestured to Harry, "I'd said this is what? The fourth film?" He said, almost to himself.
"Sorry, did you say film?" Ron asked.
"Oh, sorry, I'm not sure if the Doctor really wants us telling you that." Daniel said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Doctor?" Hermione questioned.
"My god, this man is mad!" Ron exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Harry asked again. That's when the over-excited Daniel proceeded to run up to Harry and trap him in a giant bear hug. "What's going on?" Harry asked, obviously frightened. Harry had to wiggle himself out of the strangling hug so he could step back and stare at this man.
"Well, I'm not really supposed to tell you guys this…" Daniel started but then trailed off, thinking over his decision to tell the truth to the three characters.
"Come on! Just tell us already!" Ron exclaimed with pleading eyes.
"Alright." Daniel started, and then continued to tell the three Hogwarts students his story…
Barty Crouch Jr., in the form of Mad Eye Moody, hobbled down the crowded hallway. He scanned the crowed for the sign of a dark haired, awkward looking student that went by the name of Neville. Spotting him sitting on a window ledge, Bartiemus backed into a darker alcove of the hallway, and made sure that no eyes were on him. After making sure the coast was clear, he drew his wand out, and muttered a spell that gently plucked a hair from Mr. Longbottom's head. Neville didn't suspect much, and only rubbed the back of his head where the single hair was plucked. After shrugging it off, Neville went back to his book. Bartiemus glanced down at the handkerchief to make sure that the dark hair was there before folding it and placing it into his pocket.
David was messing what seemed to be a magical and glowing "Newton's cradle" when Bartiemus barged into the office, a bottle of polyjuice potion in hand.
"Drink this." Bartiemus demanded as he shoved the bottle into David's hand.
David was about to drink the potion, when he paused.
"Wait. Isn't this stuff supposed to taste really bad?" He asked. Bartiemus grumbled at him, impatient.
"So?" He asked.
"Well, do you have any mints that I could have afterwards? Or perhaps a glass of water to wash it down with?" David questioned innocently.
"Just drink it!" Bartiemus hissed through his teeth.
David held one of his hands up to show he meant no harm, and then chugged the contents of the bottle, with a cringe on his face. After he gulped the last drop, he let out a large disgusted noise.
"That was horrid!" He said, starting to bounce from one foot to the other, as if that would shake the taste from his tongue. Then, David came to a complete halt, and grabbed his stomach. "I think I'm going to be sick…" he mumbled. His face began to shift, as if something was bubbling underneath his skin. His hair grew darker and drooped to cover his forehead, and almost brushed his shoulders. He slowly began to shrink a few inches while his facial proportions altered.
Bartiemus watched with a straight face, making sure that the potion did its job. Before David knew it, he looked exactly like the young Neville Longbottom.
David turned to a mirror that was balanced on the brick wall, and smiled widely.
"That is amazing!" He exclaimed, pulling at his cheeks and pinching his nose.
"Alright, now leave." Bartiemus demanded, and David happily jogged out of the office, in search for Daniel.
"So, you're saying you're a celebrity from another universe?" Hermione squinted her eyes at Daniel.
"Exactly!" said celebrity from another universe exclaimed in excitement.
"How do we know you're not just a twat that used polyjuice potion?" Ron asked.
"I didn't! I swear!" Daniel said, hoping he was convincing enough.
"Let's say we do believe you. Why are you here anyways?" Harry asked.
"For fun!" Daniel beamed.
"Alright, maybe you didn't use polyjuice potion, but you are a twat." Ron mumbled to which Hermione elbowed him in his side.
"So if you really played…me, then you know everything about me, and what's happened?" Harry asked.
"Yeah! And everything that will happen." Daniel smiled.
"Wait, you know about the future?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, kind of. I know up until the last book." Daniel said.
"I thought you said it was a film." Hermione pointed out.
"It is! And a book." Daniel said excitedly.
Hermione sighed at this.
"Wait, so can you tell us what happens?" Harry asked.
"Unfortunately I can't." Harry admitted. "There are a bunch of rules on that, and it might blow up the universe. Or, at least that's what the doctor says." He explained.
"Who's this Doctor you keep talking about?" Ron asked.
"He's the one that brought us here." Daniel said.
"Wait…. Us? There's someone else?" Harry asked.
"Oh yeah! I should probably go find him. He kind of got taken in by Dumbledore and Moody." Daniel said, standing up from his position on the bench of the dining hall table.
"Wait, so if you play Harry Potter from your universe, then who does your friend play?" Hermione questioned.
"That's the thing," Daniel started, "he's Bartiemus Crouch Jr." He said while he started walking. The trio exchanged looks before jumping up and following Daniel out into the hall.
David had to admit: he was utterly lost. He always liked to think that if he was ever actually in Hogwarts, he would know his way around, but unfortunately, the school was even more confusing in real life than it was in the books and movies.
That's when David saw a pale head of hair walking in front of him. Luna Lovegood.
"Luna!" David shouted to the student. She turned around quickly and smiled at him (Neville). David jogged to catch up with her, before stopping by her side.
"It's you!" David exclaimed, in awe of the character standing before him.
"And it's you!" Luna said back.
"Sorry, have you seen… Harry… Harry Potter?" It was strange for David to use that name in actual context, and not just from reading a script.
"Yes actually! Two of them! They were for someone near the dining hall." She said in her dreamy tone.
So Daniel found Harry David mused to himself, happy that his fallow actor friend was able to find his character.
"Could you point me in the direction of the dining hall please?" David asked. Luna raised an eyebrow, wondering why her friend, Neville, did not know where the dining hall was. But alas, she raised a finger in the direction of the hall before giving "Neville" short directions.
"Thank you!" David shouted to her before running off to find his friend.
After running quite a while, he saw the backs of four heads.
"Daniel!" David shouted. Daniel spun around and a look pure confusion washed over his face
"Neville?" Ron asked. That's when David remembered the form that he was in.
"Oh, erm… sorry it's me! David!" David said, jogging up closer to the group. "I may or may not have drunken polyjuice potion." He smiled.
"Wait, if you're not Neville, then who are you?" Ron asked, taking a step closer to the newcomer.
"I'm David." David said, then stuck his hand out to Ron," and you're Ron!" He shouted.
"Erm… yeah…" Ron asked, squinting his eyes.
"Wait, David, why did you have to drink polyjuice potion?" Daniel asked.
"Well, it's sort of a long story that might involve some spoilers for our favorite trio." David said.
"Ah, I see." Daniel said.
There was a pause of silence amongst the group, before Harry asked a question.
"Now what?"
David and Daniel exchanged looks before shrugging.
"Care to take us on a tour?" Daniel asked. The trio shrugged and agreed to a short tour. They wouldn't be able to go outside much, as it was probably going to rain, and there were many classes going on at that moment.
The five walked down the empty hallways, passed both empty and full classes. Daniel and David asked questions along the way.
While Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Daniel stopped to admire a painting, David slipped into Snape's empty classroom, to place a small, yet sharp tack on his chair behind his desk that overlooked the classroom. David knew that Snape really didn't deserve to be pranked, but David felt that it was necessary either way. Without the four even noticing, he slipped out of the classroom once more before joining the group again.
They continued to walk down the hallways, when Daniel stopped to stare at David.
"Um, David, I think that polyjuice potion is starting to ware off. He said. David ran up to a conveniently placed mirror on the wall and noticed his hair starting to stand upright in its natural position.
"Uh, oh. We should probably get out of here." David said, before breaking off into a sprint. The last thing they wanted was to get caught by the head master again. The next ten minutes were spent running down corridors, trying to find the TARDIS. Finally, they found it standing where they left it against a wall in an empty hallway.
David was completely changed back into his regular form, much to the trio's discomfort.
"So this is it?" Harry asked.
Tears began to brim Daniels eyes, and David pat his shoulder, knowing how attached Daniel was to his character that he played for so many years.
"Yeah." Daniel choked out.
He then pulled Harry in for another massive hug, and then moved on to do the same for the other two characters. David did the same before standing back next to Daniel to just look at the trio standing there.
"You guys are going to be bloody fantastic." Daniel finally said after a moment of silence.
The three smiled before Ron chirped in "We know". This caused both the actors to smile.
"Good luck." Daniel said.
"You'll need it." David added on.
Then, with one last look, the two actors disappeared into the TARDIS…
Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat in Snape's classroom, still in shock from the day's events. Had that really happened? The three even felt a little moved by the two actor's final statements. Had they really meant that much to them? It was a lot to take in.
"Potter!" Snape shouted, snapping Harry out of his daze, as well as for Ron and Hermione, hearing their friend being called.
"Yes professor?" Harry asked.
"Pay. Attention." He said. Harry sighed and looked over to his two friends who shrugged at him, knowing Snape's ways.
The three turned their attention back to the front of the classroom. Snape was talking about who knows what as he circled around his desk. He was about to take a seat when he let out a small shout.
"Who put this here?" Snape bellowed, pulling up a small, sharp tack from his chair.
Harry looked to Ron and Hermione as he tried to hide his snickering.
A/N: I couldn't resist... i'm sorry. I'm really tired, it's almost one am, and somehow the thought of Snape sitting on a tack made me laugh so there you go. So what did you think?
