Well, she wasn't surprised she didn't except him to do her homework it was probably not allowed either, "Your OWLS? I thought you do them in the fifth year?" Salander said "Which is supposed to be last year for you, I mean for me!" he wondered "Man! I'm not a bright student either!" he giggled. Lara usually never admit that but now that she was Salander it's different! Besides he had just admitted the same "Wicked!" he whistled when SalanderLara mentioned how heshe get people to help himher out "I think this is genius! It's much smarter to get people do your work than do it yourself!" he said. Deep down Lara was really impressed "You know I wish I could follow that method ……but…." He sighed "When you have the most annoying friend on Hogwarts that keeps rambling about conscious and cheating and whatever else, it's kinda hard" he said rolling his eyes at the mention of Louisa.

The Salander paused trying to figure out an answer to that question about what it sounded like history, even if it was about Lara's family it was still HISTORY! "Yeah we are related as far as I know" he said like she he couldn't care less. Real Lara wanted to tell Real Salander that she always falls asleep when her father gives her that long speech about their ancestors and what they did and how she should be proud of the family she belongs to…..blah blah "Yeah that Sirius man, he must've been important at his time, my father mentions him quite a lot" She he shrugged.

Good then Lara's mind only has to memorize one name….. yeah her memory is that lousy "Stradivara!" he said it sounded like a spell "Good then I don't have to memorize it, Salander is easier" he giggled "Got that! I'll flee at the mention of it" he said "You know if that Gryffindor-blonde is bothering you , I happen to have a lot of experiences dealing with such people!" Lara Salander grinned. It didn't seem that Salander needed Lara's help at all, but it's been a long time since she last had a hassle ,and it started to get boring!

Lara Salander nodded "Either trying-not-to-fall-of-the-chair method or slouch!" She wanted to write them down but nah… that'd be stupid.

Salander stared at how the fake Lara was trying to fix her hair and when the result was a total failure she fixed it with her wand!! Salander stood up quickly and with a couple of steps he was standing beside her. He paused feeling how weird it is to look at yourself from above but then spoke up "What did you just do?!! Lara doesn't fix her hair with her wand!" He said shaking his head "If a girl can't do her hair without magic what can she do then?" he said disbelievingly it was really a serious thing to Lara and she didn't expect him to understand "And it's not pretty either!" He put his hands on his waist which was totally a girlish move "Undo it and do it manually!" he snapped.

Thea sighed at the colour of Hemo's potion. 'Oh this is going to be difficult..' Raising her eyebrows,she grabbed her cup. 'You ready?' She asked, nodding at Hemo's glass.
Looking around the dungeon, she saw her class mates turning into eachother before her eyes. Wowzaaa. Now she was getting excited.. Hehe.

"Ready." she said, with a definat nod. No turning back now. She was going to become Thea. Evil!Thea. T. The Timone to her Pumba. She wrinkled her nose again as she lifted the cup to her lips. She could do evil and witty and sarcastic. Sure she could. She was Hemo. Hester Nevada Monroe. What couldn't she do? Aside from Math and most other academic subjects, of course. Oh, and talking to people without freaking them out. Shooting one last grin over at Thea, she tipped the cup upwards, cracking her lips open as she let the liquid slip down her throat. It tasted bitter and burnt the back of her throat as she spluttered, desperately trying to down the rest of the drink. As the last of it entered her mouth, the taste changed however and the sweetness of it twisted her tongue. She grimaced, wrinkling her nose. It wasn't bad...just...different.

Flicking back her hair and pursing her lips, she managed a small smile. watching Hemo tip back her own glass, she quickly did the same. For a moment she didn't swallow, and just held it there in her mouth. She could feel it bubbling on top of her tounge.. and she didn't like it. Before she could spit it out, all over Hemo, Thea swallowed. She stuck out her tounge in disgust as it slithered down her throat, burning it as it went! 'It looked pretty..' Was all she could say. Touching her lips, she suddenly wretched. Already she could feel herself shooting up, towards Hemo size. Ah no..

It felt weird. Normal, at first, like nothing had happened. But then everything was getting taller and she felt her face feel all funny like it wasn't really there. The sensation spread to her arms and legs, exploding in a whole new feeling once it reached her toes and fingers. Like everything was wrong and right at exactly the same time. She watched her arms turn darker, felt her hair shift on her head, her eyes grow less cat-like and expand more doe-like. It felt awful and not awful. Her stomach twisted and thrashed and she gripped it tightly, trying not to gag.

This lasted no more than a minute before it instantly sub-sided and she felt right again. She grinned, looking down at herself before her gaze fell back on Thea. Her eyes widened. "Woah.

Ronnie still sat at her table, her fingers drumming on it. She sighed and stared at her potion, as it swirled and swirled. She sighed and stared at it for a L O N G time. If only someone would partner up with her! But everyone seemed to have one so it seemed she was out of luck.

Thea's eyes grew wide as like Hemo, she began to change. She could feel her hair changing, it felt like there was none there.. Ew. She felt numb all over.. and as she watched awestruck, her arms and hands were also paler.. a lot paler. The sensation was everywhere! Gripping the rim of her cauldrn, she was deciding if she needed to throw up into it.

The timgling feeling stopped almost as soon as it began.. Swallowin she turned to Hemo, who was grinning like a fool. 'Oh man..' Thea scowled. 'I take it back. This so is not going to be fun..'

"You look like me!" she said, laughing, taking a step closer to...herself. Gawd, this was weird. She reached out, acting only on impulse, and booped her, well, Thea's..or was it hers? Well, she booped the girl-who-looked-like-Hemo's nose. "This is weird." she said, lowering her hand and biting her lip. Wait, she was Thea now, right? Blimey, was there really that much of a height difference? It was weird looking up at people. Normally, being lanky when she was being herself, she looked down on pretty much all the other first years. But this...Her neck was bent back as she met that blue gaze.

"Grr." she said, sounding like a cross between a pirate and a dog. Well, that was her best Thea impression after all.

Thea rolled her eyes. 'Lets get this over with.. Merlin knows how long this gunk lasts for.' She looked down at her Hemo's shoes.. it was a long way down..
'Yes, i'm short. do not rub it in..' Sighing, she looked away and crosse dher arms. Pfft. Grabbing her bag, Thea smiled. 'That was rubbish..' Sticking her tounge out she walked out of the dungeon to get the horrendous ordeal over with..

Hemo rolled her eyes as she watched...well, 'Hemo' saunter off. It was weird seeing herself move in such a huffy manner. She normally stumbled everywhere; the sureness in the other girl's steps was a little disconcerting. Shaking the thought off, she rolled back her shoulders, stuck her chin up, flicked back her hair and tried out the whole 'saunter' thing for herself. 'Strut, strut, strut, strut.' Grinning as the now shorter legs made it a whole lot easier for her to move, she exited the Potions classroom, bag swinging on her shoulder and now raven-black hair whipping out behind her. This was gonna be fun. She was gonna ace being Thea. Just be moody, dry and sarcastic. Yeah, she could do that. She instantly removed the grin from her face and replaced it with a satisfied smirk. Oh yeah, she had this down.

'It was OK' accompanied with that uncaring expression meant that she had an uneventful day, right?! Eyeing her for a moment as if expecting more to come, he shrugged his houlders too at her question. "The same, alright." He might have argued with Fallon a bit, but that was Marie's daily event. It was nothing spectacular.

"Can I talk to you outside?" His tone was caring and pretty polite. She just had to come, this crowded classroom wouldn't do.

Isabelle saw a young Gryffindor sitting by herself with no apparent partner. She walked over to the girl quietly. "Hey I am Isabelle, do you need a partner? I dont have one at the moment," Isabelle asked the young girl probably a first year.

Ronnie looked up to see a Slytherin that was around a fifth year. "Thank you so much, I'd be happy to be your partner!" she said. "You ready to make the potion?" she asked. That sounded like a pretty stupid question

Of course," Isabelle said pulling a piece of hair from her head and handing it to the Gryffindor realizing she didnt know the name of the girl she was about to be. "By the way, what is your name?" Isa said laughing. "I am Isabelle Marie Dupont, but some people call me Isa."

His day was alright? Did that mean he didn't do anything stupid while he was her? Looking up at him when he asked if they could talk outside she was tempted to tell him no. She wanted to get her paper done so she could be done with this assignment. However, he didn't sound like the nasty, mean Evan she had become accustomed to. "Um, sure."

Taking her bag from the stool she put her things back in it. She then gave him his bag back. "Where to?" And what was so important that he couldn't talk to her in the class right now? Why did they have to go someplace else?

"Nice to meet you, Isabelle. I'm Ronnie Weasley." Ronnie said with a smile, as she began mixing the hair. She pulled out a bright orange hair and handed it to Isabelle. "Ready to drink?" she asked, with a weak smile. She'd heard the potion tasted awful.

"Nice to meet you to Ronnie," Isabelle said nicely taking the hair from her and putting it in her vial of poly juice potion. It began to bubble turning bright red. "I am as ready as will ever be," Isa laughed pouring the potion into a cup. "Cheers," Isa said before choking down the potion, it tasted disguisting. Bleh.

All the sudden Isabelle began to shrink slowly. Her blonde hair was quickly turning a redish orange. She pulled a mirror out of her pocket she looked different, her nose was a bit shorter and her robes were way to big. "Reducio," she muttered turning her robes to be more her size. "Well I will see you later Ronnie or should I say Isa. Any friends I should know about. I dont really have any yet," Isa Ronnie said.

Ronnie smiled. And drank her potion. Ugh! It was gross! She shuddered and finished it.

She then began to grow taller, her ginger hair turned into blonde. Then her robes tightened and she almost choked. "Engorgio!" she said hoarsely, and her robes felt normal. "See you!" she said as 'Ronnie' left. 'Isa' (aka Ronnie) left the room too. "Ah, this is weird!" she thought to herself. It felt weird walking in Isa's shoes!

"Well they canceled our OWLs last year because of the Borr dude thought it was a great idea." And truly Salander agreed, except that little detail that OWLs are needed when looking for WORK. Meh. "Well its not quite cheating-- I still have to rewrite the whole thing on the parchment, and I hafta look for the people to do the actual answering and making sure that they're doing it right, I mean I aint payin' sweets for wrong answers!" See, he does do some work with his homework, "... but yeah, dont let that get around too much, otherwise them nerds wisens up and might not want to help me out anymore. Or worse-- ask for MORE sweets"Nu-uh. Thats not good business.

"Cool! So you are related to Sirius Black!" she watched him shrugging his shoulder as if he didnt care "You should count yourself lucky! I WISH I was related to Sirius in some way or something... he is like the most awesomest dude EVER". Yeah sometimes even more than Harry Potter and heshe was a fanboygirl of him too.

Then she tilted her head quizzically as he uttered something that sounded like his name but not. Just how many versions of his first name can people come up with? Then her eyes grows large in alarm when Lara!Salander mentions about dealing with such people "Oh no! No no no! You dont understand, the Gryffindor blonde-- Lexi-- she's my GIRLFRIEND. I mean.. she's YOUR girlfriend-- for the mean time. Be nice to her!" She pleaded then gasped "Better yet stay away from Lexi. Dont mess things up between us its complicated enough as it is!" little Salander!Lara whined, clawing her fingers through her wand-knotted hair, then pawing her own face. She forgot to tell Lexi that she'll be polyjuicing with somebody today. What if she runs into Lara!Salander? "If you DO see her, just smile, wave and say I'll see you later Lexi! Ok? Dont say anything else. You dont want to be there if she gets suspicious and starts asking a lot of questions." like Siriusly.

She nearly jumped out of her shoes when Salander got all upset with how she did her hair "I dont know how to use that hair thingamajig! I've never had long hair before..." she grumbled as she yanked the wand out of the knotted bun, letting the long blonde locks cascade down her shoulders "Couldnt I just leave it down? Its just for an hour.." she mumbled, tucking her hair behind each ear. "Unless you wanna try fixing it again?..." she whined, unconciously making the girly pouty lips as she held the tie thing in front of Salander. If he wanted Lara to have a ponytail, he's gonna have to do it for her.

Lara had no idea that last year OWLs were postponed! "Really?! I didn't know?" she he said, Like Lara knows everything going on in the school, well she does but things that are related to studying don't bother her much. Besides most of Lara's friends are in her year, one year older or one year younger. Salander shook his head "No! I didn't think it was cheating! I told you I like the idea" He smirked. Lara hoped that this was the right smirk.


He nodded in agreement "Oh man I'd better do all the researches than organizing everything in a parchment" He sighed " Oh yeah people can get greedy!"s he nodded when SalanderLara mentioned nerds asking for more sweets "You know maybe you should set a permanent price for each homework or subject" He suggested "So nerds don't take advantage of you" she said ,she really likes the idea "I suggest you should run a business" he said nodding ,rubbing his chin with his hand.


Salander shrugged again "Well, yeah the guy clearly was awesome…." she didn't know what to say else she stil wasn't interested in this thing "Well, now and for couple of hours you're related to Sirius Black!" He said like he was announcing the winner of a competition and then smirked. Oh Yeah…… this smirking thing is getting easier. Lara hoped that she won't get used to it when she return to her body.


LaraSalander was startled when Salander Lara mentioned his girlfriend. He jerked his head back when Lara said she's his girlfriend "Ah! Man you should've said this earlier!" he said. Well. It made sense , Salander was a sixth year it's normal that he has a girlfriend. But Lara was keep forgetting the differences between sixth-years and third-years "Trust me! You don't want me near her !" he swallowed. Lara barely knows how to deal with boys and she hasn't figured it out yet, so how can she deal with a girlfriend!! She never even had a boyfriend, unless you count the boy who lives across the street who took her to that Quidditch match and she didn't find out that it was a date until a week after it! "Tell you what! I better stay away from all Gryffies for those couple of hours" he said. The idea of running into that girl made him shudder.


Well, it wasn't that bad, Lara thought that Salander did some spell on her hair but clearly he didn't or she didn't as he's in her body, heshe just knotted it somehow, which still wasn't pretty. He sighed "How hard could it be?" he shook his head. Salander looked down at his hands he wanted ,or it was Lara, to fix it but something Salander doesn't know that Lara's hair is something very ………sacred. No one is allowed to touch it unless this one has become one of Lara's favorite people. And Salander was really nice and everything but he didn't pass the test yet. So even Lara in someone else's body isn't allowed to touch her own hair! So LaraSalander gave up and sighed "Fine! Leave it like that" That was the only available choice.

Lara leaned back onto one of the table trying to recall if there ever was a system of how she did his her trades "Usually its a package of chocolate frogs per homework, although sometimes pickings are slim so its a cookie per however many questions they think they can answer. But I got my regulars, they've been worth the deals so far" she said and almost smirked when Salander added "A business? Hmmm... I never actually considered... expanding" she tapped her finger against the corner of her lip. It was just something she resorted to just so she can pass her classes. "I bet there'd be a demand for this innit? But then it has to be like, super top secret, I mean imagine if the teachers found out." HeShe might get kicked out. Again.

Oh heshe liked the sound of that! "Hey yeah I am related to Sirius Black right now innit? Ha!" she cackled, then straightened up and tried to feel if she felt any more super awesome. She squeezed her eyes shut and in all concentration yelled "I wanna be a DOG!" then dropped to her hands and knees, padding about a bit then opened her eyes. Huh no change. She jumped up back on her feet embarrassed "I thought being related to an animagus would make it easier to be one.. Didn't the Ministry Lady say that?..." she mumbled, referring to their transfiguration class. Then again she wasnt really paying that much attention to what the Lady said...

She nodded as she tried to keep the worries at bay "Yeah maybe that would be the best, I know a lot of Gryffindors, I'd usually just let them pounce and drag me off somewhere fun but that may not be so great with you. Who is me right now." Right gotta protect this not so little Slytherin. He didnt know what she'd consider fun versus insane. Which he knew for a fact that for Gryffindors its often interchangeable.

Lara!Salander turned back to the mirror and combed her fingers down her hair "You look fine this way anyway. I mean I do..." she giggled as she turned back towards Salander then gasped again "Oh one other thing-- no peeking under clothes. Or touchy-feely things. I mean it." she waggled her finger at him. He totally respects Lara as a girl but he wasnt sure if she held to the same standards with herself now in his body. He knew for a fact that some girls tend to be... curious. "If you hafta do bathroom business, wait till the potion wears off. Besides, I dont think you'd know how to handle the equipment anyway." Not that he would explain either. This wasnt show and tell.

Salander nodded while Lara explained how the business is done "Interesting!" he said his arms folded across his chest as he sat down, "Of course if you're going to expand your business it has to be a secret thing, told only to trusted people" she nodded "You know there would be a secret headquarters and the leader ,who's you ,must have a secret name and must stay anonymous so you won't get expelled or anything" He said his eyes are glowing from excitement "And then generations after generations and it will become The Salander's Empire" he said motioning his hand in the air. Well, Lara must have exaggerated it but she gets excited easily and she likes to plan things even if she doesn't have an intention of doing them.


Lara Salander eyes' widened when Salander was acting like a dog!! What on earth was he thinking about. LaraSalander jumped out of the chair to get Lara up but she already did herself ,"What the…." She was truly frustrated at what Salander had acted with her body "You goof around when you're in your own body not other's!!" she spat. sHe looked around checking if anyone saw what this Lara did. They wouldn’t know it's truly Salander. Salander breathed in deeply trying to brace himself , or it was inside Lara who controlled it. She kept telling herself that no one saw. She wanted to yell at Salander but she only looked at her own self so it was kinda weird so she made herself ,which is Salander now, sit back and said "As a sixth year I assume you already know it needs lots and lots of practicing" his voice was tensed, then did he she say something about the ministry lady? "What lady….?" Before he could continue she remembered "Uh yeah that transfiguration lesson.." she doesn't remember a thing because Lara was having a nap then, but she kept that information.


Salander raised her eyebrows at Lara "No! Lara looks very pretty! Not just fine" He smirked "you're lucky to be in me" Another smirk. It was cool to admire yourself from the outside.


However the smirk faded when Salander Lara mentioned touching and bathroom and whatever else… Lara Salander felt like she's going to puke "Eww!" she said in disgust "Will you please stop mentioning it…." she said covering his ears with his hands like a little kid. Lara's mind was trying to forget the fact that she was biologically changed now. Thanks to Salander she remembered and she wanted to vomit. He hugged his knees to his chest and buried his head in his arms so just his eyes were visible, which was weird as she was in an 18-year-old guy's body "Do you think I'd do that!" she said offended hurt in her voice. She couldn't believe he warned her about this "I should be the one worrying about this! Not you" she said tears in her eyes. Real Salander didn't know that he had just a 13-year-old girl's feelings. Probably as a guy he was cool about it but the teenager was having hard times excepting it.

Isabelle made her way back to the potions room just in time. Her hair was nearly all blonde now and she was beginning to grow.

"Engorgio." she said pointing her wand at her robes so that they would be her bodies size rather than Ronnie's.

Isabelle wondered where Ronnie was. If she had already changed back or if she was still looking like Isabelle herself. Isabelle pulled out a mirror from her robes and looked at herself. There she was just plain 'ole Isabelle.

Ronnie walked into the potions classroom, she was done. She had survived living as someone other than her and it was easy and very fun to do! She hoped to do it again soon. She noticed Isabelle and walked up to her. "Hey Isa!" she said. It felt good to be back to normal again. "That was really fun, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, how was your time as me?" Isa asked. She had lots of fun and was happy she could earn her house some points. "I talked with your friend William but I sort of had to dash, I was changing back to me."
