Summary: What if Harry used a different curse on Malfoy, back in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom? The Prince’s book was full of spells, and this time, Harry simply picked another spell. Again, he had no idea what it would do.

Author’s notes: Written for and first posted at the hd_inspired “Back to School” Fest. Prompt no. 36 by magelet: Good old potions accident/misfired hex/etc. that gives either Harry or Draco a change in how others perceive them. As in, they totally still think the way they do normally and nothing has changed on the inside, but whatever their actions or words are, people on the outside keep misinterpreting it to be something else. Good or bad or whatever is up to the author. Additional words: bunnies, Giant squid, Mrs. Norris.
Beta(s): Thanks to tuulia81 and jaelle_n_gilla for listening and to ayes_sid for her wonderfully detailed, fast and patient beta-job. She pushed me to write a better story and made it fun! Cross-posted a bit, so I apologise if you see this more than once.
