A/N: I decided to add an extra chapter in here, with the Polyjuice Potion being made.
On Sunday, Jasmine found herself stuck in a toilet stall with Lisa, Craig, Hermione, and Ron. Everyone, except Ron was tearing knotgrass for the potion. They were discussing what they overheard Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick discussing. An old cauldron was perched on the toilet, where a crackling fire under the rim was at.
"Are you scared that you might be next?" Jasmine asked Craig and Hermione.
"No," Craig said, before Hermione can answer. "I've already been through hell once. I'm already going through hell. I'm not going to be scared of ending up like Colin and Mrs Norris. If Malfoy wants to continue insulting me for being a Mudblood, well, I don't care. I just refuse to let him put me through hell."
"What have you been through?" Ron asked, confused. "What are you going through?"
"Jasmine and I know," Lisa said. "But it's not our place to tell you."
The door opened and Lisa jumped startled. She slipped on the water and fell back into Ron, causing some water that was flooded from Myrtle's stall to splash.
"Blimey," Lisa said.
"Bloody hell," Ron said.
"It's me," Harry said, walking up to the stall.
Hermione pushed past the five and peered out. "Harry!" she said. "You gave us such a fright—come in—how's your arm?"
"Fine," said Harry, squeezing into the stall. He went to stand next to Hermione, Craig, and Jasmine, against one stall wall.
"We'd've come to meet you, but we decided to get started on the Polyjuice Potion. We've decided this is the safest place to hide it."
"When I was in the hospital wing," Harry started explaining. "Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore brought in Colin Creevey—"
"We've heard," Lisa chimed in.
"We already know," Hermione said. "We heard Professor McGonagall telling Professor Flitwick this morning. That's why we decided we better get going—"
"The sooner we get a confession out of Malfoy, the better," snarled Ron. "D'you know what I think? He was in such a foul temper after the Quidditch match, he took it out on Colin."
"There's something else," Harry said. "Dobby came to visit me in the middle of the night."
They all looked over at him. Harry told them that Dobby was the one that caused the Bludger to attack him and he was also the one that sealed the barrier, all because that there was a chance that Harry and Jasmine might be in trouble from some terrible plot, and that they needed to be protected.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" said Hermione.
"This settles it," said Ron, triumphantly. "Lucius Malfoy must've opened the Chamber when he was at school here and now he's told dear old Draco how to do it. It's obvious. Wish Dobby'd told you what kind of monster's in there, though. I want to know how come nobody's noticed it sneaking round the school."
"Maybe it can make itself invisible," said Hermione. "Or maybe it can disguise itself—pretend to be a suit of armour or something—I've read about Chameleon Ghouls—"
"Chameleon Ghouls are not that dangerous," Lisa pointed out. "They're level two according to the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
"You read to much Hermione," Ron said, pouring dead lacewings on top of the leeches that Hermione had added. He looked at Harry. "So Dobby stopped us from getting on the train and broke your arm." He shook his head. "You know what, Harry? If he doesn't stop trying to save your life he's going to kill you."
The news that Colin Creevey had been attacked had spread through the school by Monday. The first-years were moving in tight-knight groups, as if scared that they would be attacked if they ventured forth alone.
Ginny Weasley, who apparently sat next to Colin in Charms, was distraught.
Fred and George tried to cheer Ginny up, by taking turns covering themselves with fur or boils and jumping out at her from behind statues. Percy saw that and was apoplectic with rage, told them that he was going to write to their mother and tell her that Ginny was having nightmares.
Jasmine came across a few students trading talismans, amulets, and other protective devices, which was hidden from the teachers. She bought a light blue, pointed crystal necklace, not because she was worried about getting attacked, but she found that she actually liked the necklace.
Neville had bought a large, evil-smelling green onion, a pointed purple crystal, and a rotting newt tail. The Gryffindor boys pointed out that he was pureblood and unlikely to get attacked.
Harry told Jasmine that Neville said, "They went for Filch first. And everyone knows I'm almost a Squib."
On the second week of December, Professor McGonagall went round, collecting names of those who would be staying at school for Christmas. Harry, Jasmine, Ron, and Hermione signed the list. Malfoy was staying behind, which seemed suspicious. Along with Draco staying behind, Daphne Greengrass and Millicent Bulstrode were staying behind, as well.
According to Hermione, the holidays would be perfect for getting a confession out of Malfoy, with the use of the Polyjuice Potion.
The potion was only half-finished, because they still needed the powdered bicorn horn and the skin of a boomslang. The only place they knew where to get it was in Snape's private stores. Jasmine would prefer Harry using the 'M' word in front of the Dursley house-hold, than have Harry steal something from Snape's private stores, considering how Snape despised Harry.
At lunch, Jasmine heard Hermione saying, "What we need is a diversion. Then one of us can sneak into Snape's office and take what we need."
Jasmine eyed the Weasley twins and got up. She walked over to them and grabbed their shoulders. She tried to sound flattering, "Excuse me, you two wonderful… amazing…pranksters…"
"What do you need, Jazzy?" George asked.
"No, no George, let's let Jazzy continue with the compliments," Fred said pretending to look interested.
"I need one of your Filibuster Fireworks," Jasmine said cutting to the chase. Lunch was nearly over and Harry had Potions class next.
"If you say so, Jazzy," George said handing Jasmine four Filibusters.
Jasmine looked at them, "I just need one."
"Take them," Fred said and Jasmine took them with her. She passed Harry one Filibuster, before sitting at her table. She wasn't entirely sure what to do with the rest, but she'll figure it out. Maybe she could light one while at the Dursleys or something.
After class, the three Ravenclaws hurried to Moaning Myrtle's lavatory. After checking that no one is watching, they hurried inside where the three Gryffindors were at.
"What did you do with the Filibuster?" Jasmine asked.
"I threw it in Goyle's Swelling Solution," Harry said. "I think Snape knew it was me who threw it."
Jasmine asked, "Did he see you throw it?"
"Er—no," Harry replied.
"Then there's no proof that you threw it," Jasmine pointed out. "He can't do anything without proof."
"Knowing Snape, he'll do something really foul anyway," Harry said.
Jasmine knew that Harry had a point on that.
A/N: I know it's a little short, but I just wanted to get the potion making it's own chapter.
