A/N: (AU OoP) Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville are on their way to the Great Hall for breakfast on a Saturday morning. They've been trying, or Hermione has, to decipher writing on a souvenir from Egyptthat Ginny gave Harry. Meanwhile, O'Neil, Dr. Jackson, Carter, and Teal'C are returning to SG-1 from a place where Daniel has brought back a seamingly harmless little item. Not only do the two groups swap places, they swap bodies. Severus Snape has the honor of stumbling into the developement.
This story is not slash, although the 'boys' might joke around as boys sometimes do. Also, since this is my first story, I'm not sending any 'ships' sailing. As for the Ron and Hermione interactions, well, hey, their teenagers, they probably don't know themselves.
Disclaimer: The characters of the Harry Potter books and of Stargate SG-1 are not my creations. I'm not making any sort of profit in posting what I've been writing about them.
CHAPTER 1 - As If Being In The Wrong Place Wasn't Bad Enough
Jack always half-expected something to go wrong when he went through the Gate. When he found that he had stepped into someplace other than the expected room at SG-1, he wasn't completely surprised.
The colonel halted in his tracks. Teal'C should have been standing next to him, on his right. Instead of the Jaffa, though, there was a tall, pale, teenage boy with dark curly hair. The boy stood stone still, with a calm but disturbed expression on his face. Jack didn't recognize the boy, but he recognized the look. Then the boy raised an eyebrow…in that way.
"Teal'C?" The question came out of Jack's mouth in a voice that wasn't Jack's. Jack quickly turned to his left as if looking for someone to blame the voice on.
On the side he expected to find Carter was a young girl of about fifteen, with long, brown hair. She was silent, and not only looking at him and the boy with deep confusion, but at everything around her as well. To her left was a another boy that reminded him of Daniel.
Jack turned back to the boy he had spoken to. "Is that you, Teal'C?" he asked cautiously.
Just as Teal'C would, the boy seemed to be trying to make up his mind as to whether or not he should answer. "Yes," he finally decided to say, but then winced and frowned at the sound of his voice.
"Jack?" the question came from the boy who reminded Jack of Daniel. The boy who reminded him of Daniel was looking at him just the way Daniel would look at him when things were…questionable.
"I'm a kid. Aren't I?" Jack responded resentfully, and fixed an equally resentful stare on the boy who reminded him of Daniel.
The boy who reminded him of Daniel stared back at him and nodded a regretful confirmation.
Jack immediately sought out and locked eyes with the girl, "Goofy looking?" he asked skeptically.
The girl's eyes widened in surprise, gleamed with recognition, blinked in comprehension, then slowly began to examine him.
The fact that the girl actually seemed to have to take the time to decide didn't make him feel better. "Thank you for the prompt reassurance…Carter," Jack bit out the guess as harshly as the youthful voice would allow.
The girl met his eyes in affirmation of the name. "You're…a…a redhead, sir," she finally announced with amused apology. Her face brightened with mischief, "Not that you're bad looking. It's just… I never imagined you…" she shrugged helplessly.
Jack scowled at her, "Freckles?" he demanded in a growl.
A short, soft laugh escaped the girl, "I'm afraid so, sir," she told him.
The scowl turned into a full blown grimace, and then relaxed in a moment of contemplation. His chin lifted and his gaze settled on the boy who reminded him of Daniel. "Dr. Jackson, I presume," he pronounced with an overly exaggerated formality.
"Present and accounted for," the boy who reminded them of Daniel answered pleasantly, then thrust his arms across his chest and declared, "AND…we have…no gate."
Hammond felt the usual wave of relief when he saw O'Neil, Carter, Jackson, and Teal'C all come through the Gate safe and sound. Relief went out the window very soon after that.
The Jaffa's eyes widened in abject terror, his head darting from side to side as he looked at the soldiers in front of him. The general saw Teal'C look at his other three teammates as though he'd never seen them before. On closer inspection, O'Neil, Carter, and Jackson seemed surprised and confused as well.
He started up the ramp towards the four slowly, "I'm General Hammond of the United States Air Force," he told them clearly, but calmly, "Please identify yourselves."
Carter looked straight at him, her eyes wide, and he half expected her to ask him why he acted like he didn't know her. Then she took a few steps toward him and spoke.
"I'm…I'm Hermione Granger…sir," she told him in a conspicuously British accent.
Hammond nodded once, and turned his attention to Dr. Jackson, who was moving slowly to Carter's side. He watched as Jackson and Carter looked into each other eyes questioningly before Jackson turned to him as well.
"Harry, sir. Harry Potter." The British accent was there again, but not quite as thick. The archaeologist seemed to look towards Carter for some sign of reassurance.
Carter nodded to Jackson, darkly, then looked over her shoulder at O'Neil and Teal'C. She watched Teal'C as he cowered where he stood panting and whimpering pathetically.
"Neville." Carter and Jackson both grumbled in chorus. Together, they moved towards the distressed Jaffa and began trying to calm him.
A chill went up Hammond's spine. Whoever these people were, the situation wasn't as strange to them as it would be to your average civilian. He planted his fists on his hips. "Where're you people from," he demanded sternly.
Carter looked at Jackson cautiously, then answered his question, "London, sir."
" ' --the bloody hell's going on?" O'Neil finally exploded with a distinctively British screech.
To Hammond's mix of new amazement and concern, Carter tried explaining to Teal'C that she was Hermione and that Jackson was Harry, even though they looked like they were someone else. Carter seemed to be trying to make it sound as though it were a perfectly reasonable thing to accept. Jackson did little more than nod agreeably, although he looked more than a little uncomfortable with the idea.
O'Neil finally moved from his spot over to the small cluster. Stalking ever closer to Carter, he began interrogating her. " 'd'you just say that you're Hermione Granger?" His expression made him look as though he'd recently eaten several heavily salted lemons.
Carter glared furiously at O'Neil and snapped, "For your information, Ron, you're wearing the body of gray haired old man!"
O'Neil's eyes widened and his mouth began repeatedly opening and closing wordlessly. Licking his lips and blinking rapidly he, he attempted to speak again. "No 'fense, 'mione. It's just, you're…well, um, grown up, and---and…blonde."
For a moment, only a moment, Carter's face was perfectly blank. After said moment, however, her eyes bulged in a scarlet face and she bellowed, "RONALD WEASLEY! THIS ISN'T MY BODY!"
O'Neil flinched and cringed as if he was expecting to have his favorite bodily parts removed. "Sorry, Hermione! I didn't mean… I'm--I'm sorry!"
Jackson began to snicker, then giggle. "No doubt who's inside," he said to nobody in particular.
"Please don't yell at Ron, Hermione," Teal'C, well, whined. The same British accent complimented the Jaffa's voice rather nicely. The pleading, however, was just…wrong. "I hate it when you two argue."
Hammond narrowed his eyes when the things Teal'C said set off even morebells and whistles. "Miss Granger, would you please tell me how old you are?" he asked Carter, trying to sound more patient than he felt.
Carter's glare quickly switched over to an uncertain frown, "Fifteen, sir," she told him respectfully.
The General reached a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, his eyes clenching shut. If this wasn't some sort of possession, or personality change, it meant that O'Neil, Carter, Jackson, and Teal'C were in the bodies of four teenagers living in London.
Fixing this was going to be more than a little messy.
