There is so much that you could do with this spell.Like kill Riddle or just who knows.I am suggesting that you give other writers permission to use it in there stories.It would be funny.
Crys replied:
I have a standing offer to anyone who wants to use ideas. I don't recall anyone asking to use this one, though.
Glad you liked it.

I have to agree with Euphemism - that's priceless! What a hoot! Well done!

ROTFLMAO!!!
That was evil! I just had a thought, I wonder if their is a reverse version of that potion and what would happen if that spell was cast of Ginny.

LOL! This was good. Very Good.
Actually I think the perfect end to this would be
Ron or Harry trying to get Malfoy to go out with them. Or better yet perhaps Seamus.

This deserves to be run with. Draco Malfoy, now a girl? I can see Millicent Bulstrode smiling evilly as she helps "Draca" fit into her new role..."No, dear, you've got to move differently. Right now, you strut through the halls like you were a guy or something." Meanwhile, she's savoring every second of the situation.

Hah! It's scary when the review is funnier than the story, especially when the story is as funny as this one.

Okay...in going over the chapter, I have several characters' reactions, and where they fall on the List Of Suspects:
Severus Snape: While a major suspect (he is a Potions Master with known ties to the Malfoys), he definitely neither brewed the PIQ (Potion In Question) *or* administered it to Dracine Malfoy. He's upset with Harry; however, he may be actually more upset with Lucius Malfoy. He was as shocked by the results of the Charm as Harry (he is also Dracine's godfather).
Albus Dumbledore: While not a Potions Master, he also knows about the Patrus Potion (as Supreme Mugwump of the Wizengamot, however, he would know about it); he also has a Potions background (remember, he is also an alchemist). Unlike Severus Snape, however, he is NOT on good terms with Lucius Malfoy (hence not a suspect).
Horace Slughorn: Potions Master, former Slytherin, and Severus Snape's predecessor as Potions Professor (in fact, he taught Severus at Hogwarts). A possible suspect, and currently missing. Could this be one reason *why* he's in hiding?
Narcissa Black-Malfoy: Like Severus Snape, learned Potions under Horace Slughorn. Would certainly have heard of the Patrus Potion via the Black Family Library. Like all the Blacks, scarily intelligent (this *includes* Bellatrix and Andromeda). However, because of her Black Family upbringing it would have been impossible for *her* to pursue a Potions Mastery, even had she wanted to. A possible suspect.
Lucius Malfoy: Father of the victim. The *pureblood's pureblood* of his generation. Also, the most likely suspect to have ordered the brewing of the Patrus Potion and administered it (however, the *least likely* to have the skill to brew it). However, if he *did* do so, the 50,000 galleon fine is the *least* of his concerns.
Crys replied:
Why couldn't Snape have brewed the potion? Because he acted surprised? I remind you that he's been a spy for decades. He's got to be a master actor. He's also aware that being implicated in this could result in fines or jail time (and at least a mark on his reputation). He has every reason to act surprised by what happened. Besides, he may not even remember it himself (see below).
As an aside, he probably doesn't believe that Harry could pull off a powerful spell. He's the one who consistently thinks Harry is a worthless wizard, and this is a tough spell to cast (only AD and FF can definitely cast it).
The scenario I came up with for seventeen years ago was that Lucius either ordered Snape to prepare it beforehand or after Dracine's birth (depending on how long it takes to brew). Snape, being beholden to Malfoy, wanting to stay on good terms, wanting a godson and not a goddaughter, or simply for the money, does so. Lucius either administers it himself or orders Snape or the midwife/healer to do so.
Now, here's where it can go in many directions. Lucius could have Obliviated the knowledge from healer/midwife and maybe even Snape & Narcissa. This, actually, makes the most sense. He may not have Obliviated some or all, but why take the chance? No question that he'd be willing to do all the above steps to get himself a male heir for the Malfoy name.
I agree that AD is unlikely to be in on it. Slughorn, too, doesn't like Malfoy. When Draco tried to horn in on the Slug Club back at the beginning of HBP, Slughorn slapped him down hard.
Narcissa is more complex. She dotes on Draco. Why would she want a boy more than a girl? Possible that Lucius talked her into it, I suppose, but my hypothetical scenarios always include her not being aware of what happened. Child taken out of the room before she could see, Obliviated later, whatever.
For the purposes of this one-shot, though, they why is irrelevant. Only the end result is what matters to Harry. And it is his dream / nightmare.

Definately a KODAK moment! Please, I beg you, continue this. I can only begin to imagine the funny that would occur throughout the wizarding world should it be discovered that Drakay-poo is a red hot babe!! And WHY!
(Ex:)
Narcissa: HE'S A WHAT?
Lucius: HE'S A WHAT?
Voldemort: HE'S A WHAT?
Crabbe: UGH!
Goyle: UGH!
Thans for the laughs! Alorkin

An absolutely priceless ending. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy, er, gal. -smirk- Ron hitting on Dracine is hilarious. The thought of Ron/Draco is squicky, but who knows about Ron/Dracine. Ron's reaction when he finds out should be a real riot. Keep up the great work.
