O_O
… WHAT?!

So now there were two Theos and two Alfies.
The crowd that had gathered around the group began to murmur and gasp with surprise. The soap opera was taking an interesting turn.

With eyes wide as saucers, Braeden watched as one Alfie - the one he'd spent the day with - began to transform as well. Could it be… If the real Alfie had been Emma, then… this Alfie had to be…
And it was.
After just a moment, Emma Malfoy stood before him. It was the weirdest thing in the planet, they were still the same people, just standing in different places now.

In the next moment, Emma had her arms around the Gryffindork boy that still looked like his best mate, and Braeden returned the hug with immense enthusiasm. He lifted the girl lightly off the floor (though not as high as he would've with his own body, since Theo was a couple inches shorter) and laughed to himself.

ALL THIS TIME, he'd been with Emma! All this time, it hadn't been Alfie, it had been Emma! His Emma! Everything… everything was fine! Everything was alright! Theo wasn't going to kill him anymore and he hadn't ruined anything between his best mate and Alfie! Everything… was fine. Just fine.
Perfect.

But then the time came. It was Braeden's turn to return back to his original form.
He felt his arms grow longer, so they could wrap around the girl before him easier; his legs seemed to become elastic as they suddenly shot him up a few inches taller. His head felt lighter as he lost the curls he had so enjoyed playing with that day, to be replaced by that lion's mane that was so characteristic of him. He felt narrower, lighter, and, mostly, clumsy. Oh yes. The clumsiness had returned with Braeden Stonem's body.

As he pulled back, having held Emma in his arms for a few more moments, and kissing her cheek as if he hadn't seen her in eternities, the boy beamed down at his blonde little snake. "I can't believe it was you all along…" he said, his eyes a bit dazed but mostly reflecting amusement. All this time. This whole afternoon… it had been Emma all along. He hadn't needed to pretend, after all!

Theodore, alas, was the only person unsurprised by his friends transformation as he and Emma had their small reunion, he took a hand to sweep through his curls. Although having a lions mane for an hour had been fun, he missed his crazy bird's nest. His eyes slowly widened with shock.

Something was WROOOOONG.

Instead of feeling his regular head of hair, the hair sprouting out of his head felt rather... voluminous. Rather boy band-esque, minus the hair gel. "I... I need a mirror," He muttered anxiously to no one in particular and, seeing his moment, he snatched one from a nearby second year, calling out his apologies before she ran off in fear.

Upon seeing his reflection, his jaw slowly dropped. Theodore brought a hand to the hair that didn't belong to him, fear in his eyes. Somebody must have messed with their polyjuice potion, because the hair that Theo gazed at was not the curls that were his trademark but rather a lions mane almost identical to Brae's. Slowly forcing himself to lower the mirror, and lower one hand from his head, he gazed at all of his friends, particularly at Alfie, still in Emma's Slytherin robes. "It... does it look that bad?" He squeaked, nearly wondering if he had retained more Stonem-like traits that hadn't been evident as of yet. If so, the loss of his beloved fro was the least of poor Dumble's problems.

SHE'D TRANSFORMED BACK! The little Ravenclaw could've jumped for joy at that very moment, and probably would've if she hadn't then been distracted by the boy at her side...molting? His hand felt strange still loosely wrapped around her own and successfully distracted Alfie from rejoicing in her return to herself. Was Brae dying?! At the sound of "Alfie"'s squeal of concern, the real Alfie began to realize...Braeden was...transforming? At first it just looked as though he was twitching, but in the next few seconds he had shortened just slightly, his features changing altogether. It was then that Alfie began to notice the resemblance this transformation had to someone she was quite familiar with, and in the next moment, there stood Theodore Dumble, smiling weakly at the two Alfies before him.

WHAT?! It took a moment for this all to register with Alfie, and before she could fully understand what had happened, the 2nd Alfie had transformed suddenly back into Emma! Oh thank Merlin, that was getting so confusing, seeing herself out of the corner of her eyes! And Emma was throwing herself onto the 2nd Theo, who just moments later, morphed back into Braeden Stonem. THEY HAD BEEN POLYJUICED TOO?!And as all this happened, Alfie's blue eyes got larger and larger and larger. Okay, so "Alfie" had turned into Emma, "Braeden" had turned into Theo, and "Theo" had turned into Braeden. Just dandy. The little blonde looked as though she could've fainted right then and there, but her mind seemed too preoccupied with figuring this out to actually bother with fainting.

Pale white and eyes even bigger than the saucers they usually resembled, Alfie seemed to vaguely register what had just happened. And then, first thing, her gaze darted over to the real Theo Dumble only a couple feet form herself. This whole time she'd been with Theo, thinking it was Braeden?! She'd been so weirded out holding Brae's hand, but the whole time, it'd been THEO?! But before any of this could fully run through her mind, Theo had darted away to find a mirror, a moment later revealing his expression to the group with the most surprising of outcomes. Alfie's hand flew up to her mouth to cover the gasp she had unvoluntarily let out at the sight of Theo with...Brae's hair. As he asked if it was that bad, the blonde tried her best to shake her head, but her large smile was slightly evident behind her hand, "A-Aw, Theo..." she murmured, blue eyes sympathetic as she tried to hide her amusement. "It's not...bad?"
