GREAT HALL - 2nd SEPTEMBER

When everyone was in the Great Hall, Dumbledore got everyone's attention.

"Good Morning students. I understand that you probably want to finish up your breakfast but I have to announce something. As you all know Hogwarts was placed under musical curse last night. We must adapt to these changes. Therefore, every meal must be attended from now on. You need to keep your stamina up. There will also be an extra class for dancing. Even though these songs seemed to be choreographed it would be good to practise so that your bones don't ache after a while. There will also now be a ball on Saturday. What better than to prove to the Death Eaters that this curse won't bother us," He sat back down. The Great Hall was buzzing with noise.

Madame Hooch also stood, "I would also like to announce that Quidditch Tryouts will be this Sunday. Check your timetable to check your house designated time slot,"

"Tryouts this Sunday? We have to win again," Ginny told their group.

"We will, we're Gryffindor!" encouraged Harry.

"We would win better if I was on the team," Ron boasted walking past with Lavender on his arm. They all turned to him unimpressed.

"I don't think so. We did pretty well without you," Seamus laughed. Ron growled at them and walked off.

On the other side of the hall, the Slytherins were excited too.

"A ball? this early in the year? That's great!" said Pansy excitedly as their timetables appeared.

"But we've got those potions first thing," groaned Theo.

"This is going to be very funny," chuckled Blaise.

"Yeah, yeah Granger isn't back yet," Draco worried looking at her house table.

"Aww, you worried about your girlfriend," Blaise teased making kissy faces at Draco, "Don't worry, you can ask her to the ball next time,"

Draco glared at his plate, "Whatever,"

PREFECTS' BATHROOM - 2nd SEPTEMBER

Hermione sobbed in the Prefects Bathroom while trying to get rid of the charm. She knew her attempts wouldn't work because the charm was meant to last for 24 hours. But she still tried everything from spelling it away to having a bath. How stupid of her to trust Lavender Brown of all people.

"So that was a bad idea," Bellatrix said casually. Hermione glared at her.

"You think?"

Bellatrix sighed, "We can make this work. I have some charms that can do your hair. I can make your uniform look better blah blah, " She grabbed a chair and sat Hermione down in front of one of the Bathroom vanity tables. She then started doing charms with Hermione's hair, "You didn't run from with me," she observed.

"If you hurt me, you'll hurt yourself too,"

"Smart girl,"

"You're smart too, Bellatrix. So I don't understand why you believe in something as stupid as blood purity," She felt the woman stiffen behind her.

"I didn't always believe in it. My mother would scream and preach about it but I never truly believed it " she said softly, "Not until I met him the love of my life,"

Hermione nodded in understanding, "Roldophus Lestrange,"

Bellatrix frowned, "What! No, not that idiot! I mean my Dark Lord,"

Hermione, spluttered, "W-What? What about hmmm. I don't know... your husband?"

"Roldophus was the worst. We were betrothed from birth and when I got to Hogwarts, He was just sleeping with every girl he saw. Right in front of me!"

Hermione felt pity for the woman, "I'm sorry,"

Bellatrix sniffed, "It's whatever. Look in the mirror," She quickly changed the subject. Hermione looked and gasped. Her hair was no longer bushy. Instead, it was straight and remarkably long, "Since your hair was extremely tight and curly when I straightened it, it came out very long," explained Bellatrix. Hermione admired her hair.

"And now for your uniform. We don't want the skirt to be too short but we also don't it too long," Bellatrix thought for a bit then did a spell. Hermione's uniform shrunk and grew in all the right place, showing her figure but still appropriate for school, "There you go"

"Thank you so much, Bleaatrix. But what about my skin? It's green!"

"Only for 24 hours. And I know how to make it work. Hermione... You're going to be a Slytherin today,"

"What?" Hermione was confused. Then she heard the music start and knew another song was starting.

"Let me tell you something you can really trust
Everybody's got a Snakey side
I know you think that you can never be like us
Watch and learn so you can get it right"
sang Bellatrix she stood Hermione up.

"You need to drag your feet
You need to nod your head
You need to lean back"
Bellatrix did all of this motioning for Hermione to follow. And she did so very awkwardly.

"You need to not care
Uh, you need to not stare
You need a whole lot of help
You need to not be yourself"
Bellatrix watched as Hermione dreadfully failed at copying the dance moves.

"You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
You don't break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a, chillin' like a Slytherin"
Bellatrix delivered a very smooth dance around Hermione.

"I really wanna be bad a lot
And I'm giving it my best shot
But it's hard being what I'm not" sang Hermione sadly.

"Well if you don't, this year's gonna suck" stressed Bellatrix.

"You're right, I gotta stay calm" sang Hermione looking more confident.
"Now show me how bad you can be" encouraged Bellatrix
"Like this?
Like this? " Hermione trilled as she effortlessly pulled off al the moves

"Oh yeah, I think I got this
Let's go, I'm ready to rock this
And I ain't gonna thank you for your help
I think I found the worst in myself"
Hermione cheered as she danced. Bellatrix cackled.

"You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
You don't break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a Slytherin
Chillin' like a, chillin' like a Slytherin"
Bellatrix and Hermione danced in sync, laughing as they exited the prefects' bathroom.

POTIONS CLASS - 2nd SEPTEMBER

Professor Snape stood in front of his class, sneering

"Don't think because of this stupid curse that you'll get away with singing in my class. You have chosen this subject for N.E.W.T.S and I expect complete concentration Now turn to page 234 in your Advanced Potion-Making textbook. You will be working with your table for the potion I give you"

Everyone started turning to the page when Hermione came in late. When everyone saw her their jaws dropped. Hermione was frozen.

"Go sit on a table that majority Slytherin. Don't let anyone see how nervous you are," hissed Bellatrix.

"Sorry I'm late, Professor Snape," Hermione said as her eyes swept the classroom. There was a spare seat on the table with Blaise, Theo, Pansy and Draco. She bought her eyes back to Snape when he lectured her.

"10 points from Gryffindor for being late. Go take a seat, Miss Granger,"

Hermione scuffled over to the table she had picked. She ignored the looks Harry and her friends were giving her. She sat down and smiled at the gaping Slytherins.

After Snape had given everyone their potion to do, the work started.

"So Granger what made you sit with the snakes today," asked Pansy.

"Why shouldn't I? My skins green now. I think I'm repping for your house more than you are," They all laughed.

"Okay, the potion we were given was Draught of Living Death. The ingredients are Powdered Root of Asphodel, Infusion of Wormwood, Valerian Sprigs, Sloth Brain, Juice of a Sopophorous Bean and Wormwood," listed Theo. Everyone nodded and they went straight to the ingredients cupboard.

"You look good, Granger. You're making that green skin work," Blaise complimented.

"Stop being such a fangirl, Blaise and help me get the ingredients," grunted Draco.

Blaise turned to Hermione and whispered, "He's just jealous. Anyways if I wanted to fangirl I would talk about your amazing singing last night,"

Hermione groaned, "Everyone actually heard it," Blaise and Draco grinned at her, "This sucks!"

"Don't worry Granger. It was really good," Draco said, smiling at her. Hermione smiled back. Blaise looked in between the two.

"Have you guys got the ingredients yet," Theo called out. The three of them quickly looked at each other and ran back to Theo and Pansy. They all worked together to make the potion. When they were done, Snape came over. He looked very impressed.

"Seems you've finally found the right people to work with, Miss Granger. 20 points to Slytherin and Gryffindor," He swept away.

"He gave Gryffindor points? I'm working with you guys more!" laughed Hermione not noticing the upset looks her Gryffindor friends gave her from their table and the glare Lavender and Ron gave her from theirs.
