neville100's Prompt #558: "Exchange", it ran longer than a drabble but not enough for two so I had to truncate it somewhat. Got a little silly with the summary.

It was the first break time of the new school year when there was knock on Professor McGonagall's door.
"Come!" she said.
A small boy with a round face entered, trembling from head to toe.
"Well?" She said, moderating her tone.
"P-p-please P-P-r-rofessor, there's been a mistake." The boy told his story, haltering and stuttering.
"You wish to move Houses… Longbottom isn't it?" McGonagall said.
"Yes, professor," said Longbottom. "I'm not brave enough to be a Gryffindor. I'm sure someone would swap."
"No, I'm sorry. There's no way Gryffindor would get the best of such an exchange," said McGonagall firmly.
