Jack Aubrey and Ed Elric bodyswitch! - open RP
Jack woke up early, as was his wont. Now that it was winter, the lake was iced over, so his habit now was to head down to the Great Hall for breakfast instead of immediately going out for his morning swim. He sat up, feeling somewhat peculiar, and noticed straight away that the bed hangings were blue and bronze, the colors of Ravenclaw. A thought occurred to him, and he glanced anxiously around, but the bed contained no second occupant. Which made sense, as he had no memory of any liaisions the previous night, but you never knew around here.
He yawned and got out of bed. One foot made a metallic clang on the stone floor. He looked down at himself automatically, and his eyes widened as he realized that his left leg had been replaced by some sort of metal prosthetic. And - good Lord - his right arm had been replaced as well. He stared at his metal hand, flexing the fingers. What on earth...?
It was then that he caught sight of his reflection in a convenient mirror on the opposite wall. He recognized the small blond fellow staring back at him with his mouth agape - it was his erstwhile Charms partner, Ed Elric. He was in Mr. Elric's body! Clearly Mr. Elric (who, he recalled, was very good at Charms) was playing some sort of damnable prank on him, swapping their bodies around. Irritably, he stalked over to a clothes chest, his artifical foot clanging with each step, and put on a shirt and trousers, and stalked out into the hallway, on his way to Gryffindor to give Mr. Elric a piece of his mind.
