Sarah dropped William's hair in the boiling potion. It changed color. Hmm... Now this is, er, interesting? She hesitated, but then thinking of the final, she grabbed a mug and dipped it into the potion. She watched it stutter a moment and then drank without a pause.

*SWOOSH!*

Voila! A few minutes later, she was William!

Isobel took Maybelle's hair and put it in her potion. The potion bubbled and...it still looked disgusting. She held her breath and drank it in one gulp. And she was Maybelle. Theoretically, and probably because she hadn't actually looked at herself to make sure.

Isobel took a strand of her hair in her fingers and held it up so she could see it. Sure enough it was bright red instead of her usual blonde. So far, this was really weird.

Maybelle jumped when Isobel took her hair. She had zoned and forgotten they were in the middle of a final.

Coming back to earth; Maybelle took a piece of Isobel's hair and put it inside the polyjuice potion. It bubbled and finally calmed down.

She put it to her mouth, the smell was GROSS! But, Maybelle took the potion and sure enough, she was Isobel. Or at least, looked like her. Holding up her hair, she saw a blonde that shocked her. She would definitely pass.

Jory added Ari's hair and added it to his potion. It turned gold, the colour of Gryffindor.

"Cheers," Jory said to Ari. He drank and instantly he felt the effects. He began to shrink a bit, the hair on his head got longer and then he was Ari!
The only difference being he still sounded like himself and he had on male robes.

Grinning, Jory looked at "himself" in Ari. It was weird. "I guess it worked properly," he said putting on a reasonable Ari like voice. "Yes, I am. Lets go."

Thea sat at the back of the dungeon, cauldren bubbling. Her chin was resting on her hand. Thea had her Polyjuice Potion ready, she was just waiting for somebody to partner up with..

Lara was standing in the classroom waiting fot Salnder to show up. They agreed yesterday that they'll meet today at this time. She hoped he didn't forget already, but no he wouldn't it's important. At least for her she was so excited about this.

She was standing there holding the bottle that has her hair in it. She then sat down on a chair waiting for him. She shifted in her seat ,she was imagining that withen a couple of minutes she is going to be in a boy's body not just a boy's a guy's!

Lara has been thinking of this all night and she has her schedule so she won't waste any time, the minute they're gonna switch she's going to take off. They only have a couple of hours till they get back to their bodies.

Ari was startled to see herself in front of her, not as a reflection in a mirror, but in the flesh! Recovering from her shock, she was surprised to notice she was towering Jory in height, because she was Jory and Jory was her. Argh! So complicated! 'I like how my voice sounds when you do it.' she laughed. 'I think I'm too whiny usually.' the Gryffindor smiled.

'I think we're supposed to go out separately, it would be too confusing to spend time together as each other. I think I'm going to the Huffie table in the Great Hall to meet your Housemates. Though I must pretend I've already met them...You can start with the Gryffindor house table.' the girl-turned-boy suggested. She went towards the door, but then turned around and took Jory's hands in hers. 'Good luck!' she whispered and left.

Jory thought imitated his voice just well. No one would know it was Ari in disguise.

"Ok, have fun!" he said. "And good luck to you to." Jory also left ready to go out as Ari.

Isabelle sat down quietly looking around to see if there was anyone who needed a partner. In the back she saw a small Gryffindor and walked over to her. "Excuse me. Do you need a partner? I'd be happy to be yours," Isa said politely. Trying not to be to intimidating. The girl looked like a first year.

He rounded the corner from the Slytherin common room and poked his head into the Potions classroom. If he had any doubts as to what he was about to do, it all vanished when he spotted Lara waiting for him. Here we go, lock n' load....

"Hey Lara!" he greeted his fellow Slythie and eyed the polyjuice potion all ready to be taken "Well thats convenient." Not so much because they no longer needed to wait a month but moreso his brewing isnt exactly flawless. To say the least.

He eyed the vial in her hand and can spot the strand of hair in it. "Oh right, the sample..." ok he did forget about that little detail. Luckily he woudlnt be lacking for this anytime soon.

He neared the brewing cauldron and served a portion into a couple of glasses. Wincing slightly as he plucked a strand out from his head, he dropped it into one of the glasses, watching it in rapt interest as the potion started to change. It took on the color of honey, although the liquid wasnt quite as thick. Out of curiosity he took a whiff, there was a slight sweet-spiciness to it, but also a certain kind of earthiness, like mead or brandy.

He handed the glass to Lara "Well here you go."he smirked. Suddenly he was curious on what it tasted like.

Lara was about to think that Salander had totally forgotten about this. She intended to go and search for him. Luckily she didn't have to as he poked his head into the classroom the moment she was going to stand up "Hey yourself!" she replied standing up.

So this is it, there's no turning back. Lara watched as Salander added his sample to one of the glass. So she did the same. She watched how her strand of hair disappeared right away as the liquid turned into the color of light blue. She smiled as she saw her favorite color there, well it made sense to her .

She leaned forward to check the liquid in Salander's hand ,that she's going to be drinking, and it was between orange and brown or something like that. Close to the color of honey, she hoped it didn't taste the same because she wasn't a fan of honey.

However, She took the glass from Salanader and handed him the one in her hand. She held her glass up ,her hand shaking, she tightened her grip on the glass to keep it from shaking but it didn't work ,"Ok!" she said but her voice was weird and harsh so she cleared her throat and said "You ready ?" .

Lara shut her eyes and put her left hand on her noise blocking any entrance for the smell of the liquid. Her right hand was holding the glass she thought of taking it sip by sip but it seemed like torture so she decided to gulp it all at once!

Without hesitation she held the glass to her mouth and emptied it in her mouth she tried to swallow it all together but that was kinda impossible . She swallowed half of it and the other half was still in her mouth so she was totally able to taste it! Lara tried to push the idea that reminded her of the potion's consists especially the hair. She wanted to swallow it but her throat was refusing to.

the taste wasn't really horrible it was just different and strange. Lara opened her eyes as if this will help her swallow faster. Tears threatened to appear. She finally was able to swallow it all. Maybe this gulp-it-all-at-once idea wasn't so successful. Now, Lara had other issues to deal with despite the taste of it which turned to be a cool thing comparing to the feeling she was facing.

She felt that her insides were on fire and her skin is stretching hurtfully. Not to mention her arms and legs which were growing as she was standing .She never thought the her bones could be that flexible. Lara looked at her hands and she didn't find them?!?! O_o She found larger hands with taller fingers and different color. She turned on one of the mirrors to find Salander looking at her in the eye, she gasped at him but what surprised her is that he gasped when she did!

Bleurgh. She'd never had been able to get over that pungent smell she often familiarised with rotten milk and the potions classroom. It crept up her nose and stayed there idle until she found dinner and managed to replace it with the instead alluring scent of pumpkin pasties and cauldron cakes. She didn't know if it was just her that could smell it or if the other's had just gotten used to it. The latter was probably most accurate, and she resisted the urge to grimace as she yawned, unfathomably irritated that she hadn't gotten the chance to get used to it too.

Glancing upwards as she snapped out of her odour-incensed reverie, Hemo found her gaze coming to rest on a certain fiery Latina she'd met a few days prior. Letting the grin spread across her face, the blonde hopped off her stool. She bounded over to the other Gryffindor, only stopping when she was close enough to wrap her arms around the other girl's shoulders. "TEEEE!" she said with a small laugh, holding on for a second longer before letting her go. She blinked and looked around before back to her face. "Hey." she breathed, smiling.

Marie as Evan RAN back into the potions class. She could feel her body starting to change back and it was none too soon for her. She was tired of being Evan. She wanted HER body back.

Making her way over to their work station she didn't see Evan, or herself anywhere. Good, she didn't have to worry about Evan seeing her change forms. Sitting down she put her head on the table as she felt her body shrinking. Within a few minutes she felt like herself again. Sitting back up she looked at her hands. They looked like hers. She then felt her head.

YES!

She had her hair back.

Standing up she had to quickly grab her, well Evan's pants before they fell off her. Pfft, and he had the nerve to tell her she wasn't skinny.

Wanting to be back in her clothes she grabbed his bag and ran to her dorm room so she could change real quick. Hopefully no one would be there to see the way she was dressed.

Once she was dressed in her own comfortable clothes she made her way back into the classroom. Still not seeing Evan she sat down and started writing her paper on what it was like to walk in Evan's shoes.

DREADFUL!

That's what it was.

Having waited in his dormitory until he had changed back into his own self completely, Evan walked to the classroom back again with a pretty jeans-T-shirt combination, and with SHOES. Spotting Marie writing her essay, he walked over to her, trying to decide what to say. He had to choose his words carefully, after all, because she could get off the track to twist them so easily.

He offered a small smile to her as he placed her bag on the chair he was supposed to sit. "So," he started, avoiding peeking at her parchment. "How had been your day?" Better to start off casually and see if she got any softer in the process.

Looking up from her parchment when she heard Evan's voice she shrugged her shoulders a bit. "It was okay I guess." She then went back to writing her paper.

Looking back up at him she just had to ask. "How was your day?" 'Do anything stupid to make people hate me like you do?'

He watched Lara drop her hair in, and gazed curiously at how the potion turned blue for her. Suddenly he was reminded of the muggle drinks he used to indulge in back when he was Stateside.

He raised the blue drink up in a small toast "Bottom's up!" he grinned then watched Lara seemingly have a hard time drinking his essence down "Do I taste that bad?" he mumbled wincing then realized that the glass with her essence was still halfway towards his lips. He quaffed it down quickly. Eh, why did it not taste like anything he was familiar with? His eyes shifted back to Lara, growing large in amazement as he saw her transform into him.

"Whoahhhhh!"

He peeked at the mirror just as Lara!Salander did and snickered "Lookin' good arent we?" he cackled, giving his new found twin a clap on the shoulder. And thats when he realized-- his hand. Its small!

He looked back at Lara!Salander and could feel himself shrinking in his clothes, heck everything else seem to just vanish or shrink altogether. Except for his hair. He glanced down and could feel long blonde hair swishing by the side of his face. Raising his hands to brush it away he could feel the small, smooth skin of the almost 14 year old. OMG! Where's his usual scruff?

Salander!Lara stood tippy-toed to look into the mirror, and gasped gazing at the girl that stared back at him "Imma girl!" he yelped, in a clear, very girlish voice. "I even sound like a girl!" he whined. But his eyes fell at the brewing cauldrons and remembered why they were doing this for. "Ok, calm down... this is for potions. Right!"

He stared back up at Lara!Salander and saw that-- HE was wearing a SKIRT and a shirt that now shows part of his stomach. "Ok stop right there. There is NO WAY you are leaving this classroom looking like that." glowered little Salander!Lara. Yeah rep to protect and all that.

He took his wand and, recalling the transfiguration spells from Kingsley's class, turned the skirt into a pair of pants and matched the school shirt to what boys usually wear. "There better!" heshe grinned and nodded firmly. And for the first time, he can see how others saw him. Very odd feeling it was.

Salander!Lara glanced down at his own clothes, now way too large for his now more petite frame. "You didnt bring any clothes withya didja?"

Lara Salander now was watching the other real Salander turning into her. It's not something you see every day, someone's body is shrinking to change from a grown 18-year-ol guy to a 14—yeaar-old girl.

She, the new Salander, was watching with her his mouth gasped as the person in front of her turned into her own shape. She smiled at that for some crazy reason. Which made her almost forgot how tight those clothes were. Well, that's something she forgot to think about. It was obvious that her size and Salander's are not the same! Not to mention that Lara wears girls uniform and Salander wears boys' uniforms.

Clearly Salander, who is Lara now, thought about it for he did some spell to change the clothes somehow, "I'm afraid I didn't think about it?" The new Salander said "You can change them right? The clothes I mean?"she didn't want to go to the common room to get some clothes for Lara! Besides how can Salander enter the girls dormitories.

[s]Lara[/a] ,Salander now, looked at the Lara before her him "You know I never thought I'm that pretty?" The Salander laughed a soft laugh then paused "No I guess that's not how guys laugh, right?" NewSalander winked "Let's try again?" NewSalander cleared his throat and laughed a loud harsh horrible laugh, which would be anything but a laugh maybe a monster growl or something "Is that it?" NewSalander asked mischievously. Oh…man that was fun!

New Salander now sat down on one of the chairs and crossed his lags in a one-hundred-percent girlish way "Ok my dear beautiful Lara!" another weird laugh "Here's few things you need to keep in mind" New Salander raised his hand counting one o his finger "First, Walk like a girl!" he said stressing on the last word

LaraSalander wiggled her arm up from the extra long sleeve "Yeah no sweat, should be easy..." After a few waves of hisher wand he she was now wearing the standard Slytherin girl's uniform.

She glanced the mirror just when LaraSalander noted how she looked "Yeah you are... I mean I am!" she smirked the usual Salander smirk "Must be the genes eh? Speaking of which, whats your last name? It would be embarrassing if I run into a teacher or someone and dont even know my last name!"

Her head turns sharply at the attempts of LaraSalander trying to laugh like him her. "No thats not how I laugh!" she finally guffawed, a big, jovial laughter that can almost fill the whole room "Just make it naturally--- happy!" she grinned, not really knowing how to describe it other than what she hoped this new Salander has heard "You know what, I chuckle and smirk more often anyway. Kinda keeps that rep of being cool y'know? Like nothing gets under your skin." she winks and clicks her tongue while doing the playful guns up. Yeah like that....

"Walk like a girl? Uh... I could do that yeah." she shrugged as she STRUTTED all gangly like for a few paces then turns with a flourish, as if a model on a catwalk..... "Tada!"


But her jaw drops as she stares at how Salander was sitting. "Uh-uh I aint -- I mean you aint sitting like that!" she looks aghast, not to mention that shehe's probably crimping the package. "Put your legs apart... you know like your about to wrestle somebody or trying to keep yourself from fall off the chair." Did that make any sense?

Lara's Salander's eyes widened at the mention of teachers. She thought of a teacher caught him in her body. She wanted to tell to stay away from teachers but then a genius idea hit her or him "Speaking of which, could you go and do the pile of homework I've been failing to finish? They should be easy for you! you know you still have your sixth-year brain right?" [s]s[/a]he asked. Lara deep down knew that Salander deep down will say no but why not to ask "Anyway, It's Black, Lara Black!" he answered "What's Salander's ?" he asked. Although he hoped that he won't need to use it. Because running into a Professor now wasn't good for Salander at all!

Salander rolled his eyes at Lara "Yeah you guys are always trying to sound cool" he paused "Or I guess I should say us guys!" it was getting confusing wasn't it?! "Well, you better not chuckle and smirk a lot now!" he said "Because Lara doesn't! And don't worry about being cool! It's been taken cared of" Salander nodded and winked at Lara of what he hoped was a cool guy's wink.

Salander watched unsure when Lara was walking, he hesitated but then "erm…well, it sounded a bit exaggerated" he said "Just keep your steps small and…… be normal" like it made sense. But he should figured it out "Just try to walk like any other girl ,you must've seen one walking right?" It's not like it was that hard ,girls walk all over the school he should figure it out.

Salander looked at himself trying to figure out what's wrong with his sitting position, Lara always sits like that……well, probably that was the problem, "Whaa!" he said , shehe wanted to laugh when he she mentioned how to sit but clearly it wasn't a joke "Ok I'll try" he said as put his legs apart and folded his arms on his chest. Lara used to see few boys sit that way, so it should look cool right "How about this ?" he asked.

While concentrating on how to sit ,Something caught Lara's Salander's eyes "Hold on!" he said pointing at Lara's messed up pony tail "This pony tail is a disaster! "he said stretching his arm to fix it….but it didn't seem right "You can fix it right?" he asked ,it shouldn't be that hard.

Ronnie sat at her table, her potion ready but all she needed was a partner. She felt helpless. "I'm dead awful at potions..." she said to herself. Hopefully, a Polyjuice potion would work out for her. It doesn't seem that hard, it just probably tastes disgusting. She remembered hearing about her great grandfather Ron Weasley taking a Polyjuice potion in his second year, and her great grandma Hermione Granger taking it too and turning into a cat. She'd heard all about that, and she found herself giggling at the thought of her Great Grandmother as a cat. She then looked around, and waited for a partner. Everyone seemed to have one. She hoped someone, no matter what age, would come up to her and partner up with her.

SalanderLara tilted her head "Do your homework?... I'll do your homework if you do my OWLs" she guffawed again, then shook her head jokingly as she settled down "Uhm, yknow I'm not really that smart-- I mean I wish I was, but I'm not really." she smiled sadly, then dropped her voice to a whisper so that only LaraSalander can hear "I have A LOT of help, trading those help for sweets doesnt hurt either..." she nodded knowingly. Specially in Hogwarts where just about anybody would do anything for sweets. Yeah their little Slytherin secret now yes?

She blinked as she stared at himself the other boy "Your last name is Black? Lara Black? H-How are you related to the House of Black? You know, like awesome Sirius Black?" asking excitedly, hoping he like Sirius too. Then again maybe its just a fandom thing heshe shared with Lexi. Lexi has explained many times how the rest of the Black family werent anything like Sirius or herself.

"Yeah thats what I mean, you're getting the hang of it see?" she chuckled the Salander chuckle watching Lara be all winky- cool. Ooops ok gotta keep that chuckling to a minimum too since Lara apparently doesnt do that often "My last name is Salander. My first name's.... uh, well nobody really knows it since I rarely let it get around..." she said waving her now delicate hand "But uhm yeah, if you hear someone-- specially a Gryffindor blonde--hollering at you and calling out Stradivarius-- YOU RUN. Because trust me, if that name gets called out, its rarely because they want to have a nice chat with you. With me. Who is now you." Yeah Salander survival tip #1

Her face wrinkled up as she looked down at her feet "Small steps?... werent they small?" she mumbled as she tried to make her steps ittytbitty and cutesy now, like sometimes how he'd see Kurumi walk. She sighed audibly "This will take me forever to get around campus...." she smirked then raised her hands "Dont worry I aint gonna make you look bad." Walk like a girl, would need practice but then again theres lots of grounds to get that done right.

She paused for a moment watching LaraSalander try another sitting position "Much better!" she nodded "Course if that gets boring for you all you need to do is stretch your legs out and slouch. I do it all the time in class."He'd also recommend dozing off but not getting caught may take extra special skills...

Then her eyes shifts to the top her head. Her ponytail?"Eh? Whats wrong with it?" She turns tiptoeing back into the mirror. Fix it? She's never tied anybody's hair up, not even Lexi's "Uhm... let me try." she pulled the tie off and.... couldnt figure out to put it back on. Oh boy! After a few more tries she got frustrated and set the tie down, instead knotting the long blonde hair up and shoving her wand through it, fixing it in place. "There see! Now its fixed! Looks good yeah?" truly it was if they were back in the stone age.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Thea jerked as Hemo pounced on her.
'Oh.. hey' Thea peered u pat the tall blonde she had met. Ok, let's get straight to the point. 'Wanna drink a drink with each others hair in it?..' Raising her right hand, she plucked out one of her own hairs. Placing it on the table she indicated the two glasses filled with Polyjuice potion. 'I put my hair in one, your in the other.. we drink eachothers. You know what happends next, right?' Thea grinned. This could be fun..

Hemo blinked. "What?" Her brow creased and she took a slight step back. "I don't want any part of you going into my stomach..." she said worriedly, averting her gaze to the floor. It had been a bit of an odd request, and yes, she liked Thea - a lot - but drinking her hair? She wrinkled her nose. Then it her; those blue eyes landed on the bubbling cauldron full of sludge. Polyjuice potion. Nessie had mentioned it. And, she supposed, so had the professor... She really needed to stop dozing off in class or mum was gonna kill her... She swallowed, before that same grin spread across her face. "Polyjuice potion..?" She shrugged. "Okay. I suppose I could try my hand at being evil." she said airily.

Thea rolled her eyes. 'Believe me, it's for class.. I'm not doing it voluntarily!' Picking up her hair, she held it up infront of Hemo's face. 'This is wortth a few points.. Gryffindor for the cup, remember?!' With that, Thea dropped her hair into the glass nearest to her. Immediantly the mixture turned a dark golden colour. She smirked. 'Evil? Oh dear.. everyone'll be able to tell at once we've switched!' Thea shove dher glass towards Hemo. 'Your turn!' She smiled.

Hemo pursed her lips, watching as Thea did her potion-y stuffs, eyes widening slightly as the potion changed colour. She was so new to all of this... It hurt a little, knowing she'd missed so much. Everyone was all used to everything now, where as she was still like a little kid in a candy store, gawping at every little thing. She supposed she had to blame her muggle upbringing for that as well, but still.

Blinking and snapping out of her reverie she reached up and tugged out a hair, dropping it into the other cup. The previously sludgy liquid turned a deep yellow-y orange, like honey. She imitated Thea by pushing it towards her, gazing into the other cup that she was soon to drink. She picked it up and shook it slightly. "Bottoms up?" she said, eyebrows cocked as she looked over at the other girl.
