Summary: Harry is suddenly acting very weird – in both universes. Yeah, you guessed it. This is a parallell universe-fic, and the two Potters are switched, causing a lot of confusion, especially for Harry Potter himself.

Genre: Romance/AU – Rating: PG

Warning: apart from the AU and slight OOC, nothing major. This is obviously slash, but nothing graphic I think.

Pairing: Harry/Draco (also Hermoine/Ron, Sirius/Remus, Narcissa/Lucius)

Change of Reality

Part one – The Prologue

Shivering slightly in the cool September breeze, Harry pulled his muggle jacket tighter around himself, as he looked around, desperately hoping for a glimpse of his friends anytime soon. He'd gotten a note by Ron's owl Pig earlier that morning, saying him, Hermione and Ginny were running late and that they would meet him at King's Cross Station instead of Diagon Alley. He'd waited for them for about a quarter of an hour now, and looking anxiously towards the big clock on the wall above his head, he noticed that it was already five minutes to eleven. Sighing, he picked up Hedwig's cage and bent down to grasp the handle of his trunk, thinking it would not do anyone any good if he missed the train too.

He straightened up and turned towards the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, and taking a deep steadying breath, he walked into it firmly only to come out on the other side, where platform 9 ¾ lay and the Hogwarts express were already huffing and puffing, getting ready for take off. He frowned and bit his lip a little anxiously, casting a glance over his shoulder, hoping to find his friends behind him, but when he didn't he continued towards the train.

Heaving his trunk onto the Hogwarts Express, and Hedwig's cage on top of it, Harry put one foot on the step and was just about to hoist himself up and board when he heard a voice calling from behind him and he looked back to see Ron, Hermione and Ginny running towards him, Ginny waving. Harry was just about to smile at them, when he slipped and lost his balance. Reaching out to grab something to steady himself, his hands unfortunately grasped thin air and he fell unceremoniously to the ground, the world going instantly black.
