"Not strong enough?" Harry said bitterly.  "I'd say it was plenty 
strong.  That's the last time I let Hagrid give me a haircut.  Good 
grief!  Now my head swings wildly between 'bald as an egg' 
to 'flowing locks of miracle hair.'  It was cool at first, but now 
it is just *annoying.*"

"Harry, all you have to do is use this here Polyjuice Potion," 
Hermione said quickly, blowing dust off of the enormous book in her 
lap:  "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow."  Just take a bit of your hair and 
polyjuice yourself into yourself."

"Wouldn't a toupee be easier?" Ron asked with concern.  "Harry could 
wind up un-splinching himself or something."

"Look," Harry sighed, "at this point, I'll try anything.  What are 
the ingredients for that potion again?"  He craned his neck to peer 
over Hermione's shoulder, who pulled away.

"Don't you worry, Harry.  Just leave everything to me," Hermione 
said with an evil grin.
