[plot] Woo!
Genderswap plot was a blast!! Thanks for making it awesome, ladies and/or dudes! Woo!
Okay, so Dumbledore got portkeys back to normal, so they shouldn't cause any more swapping. Any currently swapped people can change back whenever.. It doesn't have to be instant. It can 'wear off' as you see fit.
Now here's some Holiday plottage!
This idea is borrowed from a HP fanfic called Shoebox project. Wizard mistletoe is sentient. It hangs in wait, and then when two people get under it, it yells at them to kiss and forces them to kiss through various threats.
An example, from Shoebox:
"PUCKER UP," the mistletoe howls, with sadistic glee. "GIVE THE REDHEAD A GOOD SMOOCH FOR ME OR I'LL BITE OFF YOUR NOSE."
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" the mistletoe demands. "TEN SECONDS. NINE. EIGHT. SIX. TWO."
"LESS TALK!" the plant shrieks. "MORE SALIVA! OR ELSE!"
So here's the deal: Albus has been working to fix the portkeys to stop swapping genders (His bad, by the way). He's also been decorating Taunton for Christmas, with special wizard mistletoe. It's festive! Well, apparently some of the mistletoe 'got out' via the portkeys, so mistletoe can be wherever you want it to be. It'll harass your pups until they kiss.
