Hermione and Draco looked back at each other. They spoke to each other with their eyes. Draco's challenged Hermione's by saying 'don't you dare.' While Hermione's replied with 'try and stop me'

"You can't..."

"We have to." Hermione cut him off.

"Have to what, Malfoy?" Harry asked nervously.

Hermione turned to Harry and Ron. "That's just it. I'm not Malfoy, I'm Hermione."

Again there was a defening scilence.

"What?" Ron shook his head, questioning his hearing, "for a second there I thought you just said that you were Hermione." he gave a little unbelieving laugh at the end.

Hermione ran her hands through her hair and sighed. She now fully understood how difficult it was going to be to get her two best friends to believe that she was in fact in the body of her worst enemy. A niggling fear had also buried its way into her stomach with another thought of what when they did believe her, they didn't forgive her for lying to her for months. In a way she knew that this was her main reason not to tell them as she had hoped Draco and her would have figured a way out of it by now but no such luck.

"You heard right I am Hermione."

Again another gaping scilence. Both heads held their breath while waiting for their reaction.

Harry and Ron looked at Hermione, looked at Draco, looked at Hermione again and then looked at each other. And then they started laughing. It seemed that in that brief moment when they had looked at each other they had actually considered the swap then read the absurdity which resulted in the laughter.

They howled with laughter until their sides started to hurt and they had to grip onto each other for support. After a few minutes, what seemed like hours for Hermione and Draco their laughter started to ease. Eventually Hermione's frustation got the better of her and she stomped her foot.

Ron let out another howl, "Ha I think you've finally cracked Malfoy. I mean i knew you were girly but don't you think this is going a little far."

"I'm being serious Ronald!" Hermione started to go red.

Well this outburst had the complete wrong effect that she was hoping on her friends. Seein Malfoy go all red and address Ron in a girly voice by his first nome was just two much. Harry fell over with the force of his laughter and Ron was not far behind as he had lost his only means of support.

Hermione turned to Draco. "Well do something!"

Draco sighed. He had known as soon as the words had left her lips that they would not believe Hermione. He was the only one who would be able to convince them. A small part of him wanted to join in the laughter and avoid the whole problem \but a bigger part of him feared the murderous look in Hermione's eyes as she two knew exactly what he was thinking.

He silently nodded to her and Hermione understood that he would do it. Relief flooded into her.

By this time Harry and Ron's laughter had died down and they were gathering themselves from the ground still with a giggle here and there.

Ron turned to leave. "Ok it's getting cold. Come on Hermione, I mean that Hermione." He finished quickly pointing at Draco but smiling at hermione.

Draco didn't move but turned so he was facing the boys.

"Granger's telling the truth. She is in my body and I Draco Malfoy am in hers." He did not laugh as he said it he didn't even crack a smile.

This time the boys didn't laugh they just looked back at them with confusion. "Okay Hermione, jokes over."

"It's not a joke." Draco replied cooly. H "A dark magic switched our bodies and we have been living as each other." He was about to finish with, 'for a few months' but he didn't want to overload the boys with too much information at once. They weren't the quickest pair of broomsticks after all.

Again there was scilence. Both Harry and Ron were digesting what they heard and were waiting for a bunch of people to jump up and yell 'got ya'. When this didn't happen Ron started to get annoyed, he didn't like to be made a fool of.

"That's enough Hermione." he growled. And then turned to the real Hermione. "Did you put her up to this you nasty git?"

Harry on the other hand had decided to remain quiet as he observed the two. What ever it was, something was wrong with both Hermione and Draco.

"haven't you wondered why we haven't exacly been acting like our selves lately. I mean I have no idea about anything muggle and my grades have been slipping an awful lot of Hermione don't you think."

"please Ron, Can't you see we are telling the truth?"

No, all I can see is that you have done something to my best friend and you are going to stop right now before I hex the crap out of you!" Ron drew his wand and pointed it straight at Hermione's nose.

Hermione started to panic. Ron had never pointed his wand at her before and even if he did try to attack her, she doubted she would retaliate.

Then an idea came to her, "I can prove I'm Hermione."

Ron stopped and lowered his wand slightly. "After a pause he said, "how."

I know things only I would know, like in second year when I was petrified you would always hold my left hand in the hospital."

Ron stepped back and looked confused. "what?"

Hermione continued, "And when you think no one is looking in the common room you like open the window and let Pig in so he can sit with you while you do your homework. And during the tri-wizard tournament when you and Harry were fighting, you would always look for ways you could help him without knowing."

Ron started to pale as he realised that all the things what were coming out of Draco's mouth were true and were only things that Hermione would know, "How, What?" It weemd that speech was failing him again a common occurence for the night.

Harry was still studying the two people infront of him. As he concentrated he started to see small changes in their physicallity. Hermione was holding herself with an air of arrogance while Draco seemed to leaning on his side with a look of deep consern directed at Ron. A facial expression which looked very odd on the smug Slytherin. In that moment he knew it was true. "I believe you."

Three sets of eyes focused on him. Hermione was the first to respond, "You do? Oh Harry." hermione took a step forward withthte obvious intention of hugging her friend.

Harry took a step backward and held it up. "Woah, just cause I believe you are Hermione doesn't mean i am going to go an hug Draco."

Hermione stepped back with a deep look of hurt in her eyes and looked to the ground nodding, Harry had never talked to her with such distance before. Harry saw to the look as well and ran his hand through his hair.

"Sorry hermione, but you have to understand this is going to take a little getting used to. I mean you are in Malfoy's body after all."

What's that supposed to mean scar face." Draco shot at him. He revelled in the feeling of insulting the annoying hero after being denyed that pleasure for so many weeks.

harry blinked at Draco, him mind taking a second to registure that it wasn't actually one of his closest friends who had just talked to him with such hatred. He then realised that he would not only have to get usd to Hermine being in Draco's body but he would also have to come to terms withthe fact that Draco was in Hermione's.

Ron was still looking blankly at the two heads. For his part he had no idea who to believe. But something deep down told him he had to believe what was coming out of Draco's mouth. And that in it self was a scary thought.

"So say we do believe you, care to explain how this HAPPENED!' Ron didn't realise his voice was getting louder until he started to scream.

"God put a sock in it Weasel" Draco spat as he covered his ears.

For the briefest moment Ron looked hurt by the comment coming from one of his best friends but at the same time it was all the evidence he needed for the facts to be set in stone.

"Okay, now i believe you." He said as he turned to Hermione, "No one could do that good an impression of the slimey ferret."

Hermione broke into a grin and felt the earge to hug Ron but suppressed it when she remembered how Harry had reacted.

Harry looked at them all and then sighed, he hadn't realised till then that it was very late and he was very tired. "you know what why don't we do this Tomorrow. I don;t think I am in the right state of mind to take in that much information. And no offence Ron but one more surprise and I think you might explode." Ron nodded as Harry turned back to Hermione and Draco, "and jugding by the size of this mess, i think there are going to be a lot more surprises coming our way."

With that he turned and started to make his way up to the castle with the three very disgruntled people behind him.

After leaving Ron and Harry outside the Griffindor common room Hermione and Drco turned to make their way to the Head's. As they trudged down the deserted hall way both seemed absorbed in their thoughts. Draco was grimacing at the ideas of what tomorrow held. So many things had happened since he was in Hermione's body and most seemed to involve her two best friends. The number of infuriating questions that they were going to asko started to wizz through his mind, frim the source of the switching, Draco's dark objects to his his behaviour while he had been in their precence. it seemed until Hermione had spilled the beans neither one of the boys had detected that one of their best friends had infact been one of their worst enemies. All the answers to his questions seemed to come back to one certain face: it was all Draco's fault.

Hermione's mind was in a whole nother subject. Visions of Greyback continued to plague her as they seemed to mix with her memories of the last encounter she had with him. She unconsiously shivered and rubbed her chest. Then she remembered an even more horific thing, the reason for his unannounced visit. An anger boiled in her as her head snapped up to watch Draco walk through the portal.

"I knew i should have never trusted you." Hermione glared at Draco's back.

Draco spun around and was met with angry Grey eyes, "What are you talking about now Granger. " He sighed tirdness seeping in.

"I should have known you were still a slimey disgusting death eater," She spat veminently, " It was my minstake thinking you had changed."

"Do you think i actually knew about Greyback?"

"Oh no, i invited him to Hogwarts, i thought we could all have a tea party." She said sarcastically but there was a certain bight behind her words.

"hey i had no idea he was even alive, let alone in the country."

"Well he was under every impression that you knew about your little rendevous. So what were you going to do breed another basilik or just simply bring Voldemort back from the dead?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about and I have no idea why Greyback was here." Draco was getting frustrated now.

"oh so you didn't know when you brought all those dark objects here that they were all a part of a plan to seek revenge for Voldemort." Hermione had started to shake with anger.

Draco stepped back with shock, "What?"

"Oh don't play damb Malfoy." Hermione stalked past him. she was so frustrated she knew she had to get away from him or she might inflict some sort of bodily harm to her own body. At this point it was almost worth it if it meant Draco would be the one feeling the pain.

Draco grabbed her by the wrist and spun her round to face him. "You have to believe me, I really had no idea" His voice wasimploring, willing her to believe.

Hermione's anger subsided slightly as she heard the ernest tweak in Draco's voice. She looked down to see where their hands were connected.

Draco saw her look down and quickly let go, unnerved by the touch. He ran a hand through his hair and tried to dispell the tension. "And anyway, it's not like you couldn't have taken care of Greyback, he's practically a kitten compared to what you have fought in the past." he let out a pathecic excue for a laugh hoping it would lighten Hermione' mood.

Unfortunately it had the complete reverse effect. Hermione's eyes snapped up to glare at Draco onece more, the anger had returned in full force.

"you hae no idea what position you put me in tonight Draco. That Kitten has some very dangerous claws." She turned and continued to stomp to her room. "I should know"

Draco wasn't sure if it was because he wa so far away from her or if it was because her voice had dropped uncharateristically low but he thought he detected a starge quiver in her voice which almost souned like Hermione was going to start crying. Draco shook the thought from his mind and trudged back to his room but even as sleep started to claim him he kept wondering what exactly Greyback had done which could have effected Hermione so deeply.
