AN: From interactive "Harry Potter Transformations", chapter originally written by Mr.George
Harry spotted that in the bottom of Ron's cavernous pocket there was another vial, the same colour as his. He tried to hide the smile the spread across his face. Clearly Ron wanted to swap with Hermione, and Harry wasn't the sort of guy to stand in the way of true love.
With some trepidation, he took the tiny vial from Ron's hand.
"I do need some questions answered first."
Ron was practically bouncing for joy and excitement, but he managed to control himself enough to nod, and grunt a quick "yes." to Harry.
"How long does it last for?"
"An hour. Oh, come on, Harry."
"How does it work?"
"You drink the potion, and look into the eye of the person you want to swap with...."
"And the reversal, does that work the same way."
"No. At the end, you just switch back. There aren't any conditions to satisfy, nothing that has to be repeated, nothing that can go wrong." Ron assures his friend, as he picks up on the reason for Harry's questions.
"Harry it's completely safe."
"Yes. I'm sure." though he sounded less than convinced.
"One last question, Is this a Weasley Wheez?" he kept his eyes fixed on Ron's face as he popped the stopper out of the vial.
"Yes." he answered with a huff of disappointment. "But it's a new line. They intend on offering it to romancing couple. They plan on releasing it as 'A mile in their footsteps' potion."
Harry raised it to his lips. He had no intention of drinking it here and now. But this seemed to keep Ron talking.
"That other vial, do you want to use that with Hermione?"
Ron didn't answer, but the flushing of his cheeks was a clear answer.
Unfortunately he'd pushed Ron too far. With a nudge, Harry's elbow was bumped, and the tiny bottle emptied into Harry's mouth.
Harry choked briefly, gasping for breath, but a quick gulp and it was over.
He turned to Ron, just remembering to close his eyes before he did.
"That was intentional." he snarled. Harry felt the magic going to work as the potion slipped down his throat.
