Chapter 11: The Dueling Club
Hermione decided, at once, to start on a potion called the Polyjuice Potion. Hermione explained that Malfoy had mentioned that it changes someone into someone else and both Harry and Justin agreed that this potion would be prefect for getting into the Slytherin common room.
"So who in Slytherin house do we think is attacked Mrs. Norris?" Justin asked.
"Someone that thought that attacking her would scare the school," Harry answered.
"Exactly and that's why we need to complete this potion," Hermione told them. "Now I've got everything except the boomslag skin and bicorn horn."
"And who are you getting to do this job?" Justin asked.
"Me," Hermione answered. "There is no way that I'm having the both of you get into trouble with Malfoy."
"Sounds fine with me," Justin said.
Harry wondered where Justin's loyalty really was at.
Professor Sprout came around during the second week of December, to collect the names of students that would be staying at Hogwarts. Harry, Hermione, and Justin signed their names at once and they noticed that Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle were signing Malfoy's list too. They all knew this was too suspicious and led Harry to believe that Parkinson might be involved. Of course they failed to notice that Ginny was staying as well.
On Tuesday afternoon the Hufflepuffs all gathered for their double Potions lesson. Today they were making a Swelling Solution which Harry was having fun with brewing. The only person that wasn't there was Hermione and when Malfoy asked Harry were she was he told him that he didn't know.
"Then I'm taking ten points from Hufflepuff," Malfoy sneered. "Tell her that, Snape."
"Yes, sir," Harry said, hoping that Hermione had the ingredients that they needed.
When the lesson was over Harry and Justin hurried back to the girl's bathroom where Hermione had decided to brew the potion in. Harry and Justin both gasped for breath and then Harry told her what Malfoy had said.
"Sorry I got you into trouble," Hermione told him.
"It's alright," Harry said. "I still made an excellent potion."
Both Harry and Hermione, being on top in their Potions class, worked on the potion while Justin made sure that no one came in and caught them. Harry then cast a simple spell to make the potion invisible only to them (how he knew how to do this he would never know or want to know) and then they left. A week later a notice had appeared in the entrance hall and Justin motioned them forward.
"Their starting a dueling club," Justin told them. "I think it might be exciting."
"I'll agree," Harry said. "I've been wanting to learn some new skills."
Hermione agreed and so that night, after dinner, everyone in the school gathered for the first meeting of the Dueling Club.
To Harry's absolute horror Lockhart was the Head despite the fact that Flitwick had been a dueling champion. Malfoy was his assistant and Harry could tell that he didn't want to be here and for the first time he agreed. He, Harry, didn't want to be here. Lockhart was being his usual dumb self and Harry could see that Malfoy was trying hard not to hex him, like he would cry if that happened.
Lockhart then had him and Malfoy show the students a basic Disarming Charm, something that Harry liked for the bright color and the ability to disarm your opponent. However whatever pleasure he got from the display was short lived as Lockhart had them pair up. Harry wanted to pair up with Hermione but Malfoy stopped that at once.
"I don't think so," Malfoy said. "I think that it's time to break up the dream team."
He paired Harry up with Pansy, who gave him a look that told him that she still remembered what he had done to her (it surprised him that she was even human again) and Hermione had been placed with Neville Longbottom, who looked relieved.
"Wands at the ready," Lockhart told them.
Harry drew out his wand and pointed it at Pansy, waiting to see what would happen. Pansy sent a horrible hex his way, an orange light that Harry didn't want to be hit with. Harry ducked and then said "Avis." Birds came out of Harry's wand and started attacking Pansy, who screamed and dropped her wand. Harry took it and waited for the last bird to leave.
"Where's my wand?" Pansy said.
"Don't look at me," Harry sneered. "Maybe you shouldn't have been playing with the birds."
He laughed and then suddenly Crabbe came out of nowhere and shot a spell at Harry. A large snake came at Harry who at once told the snake to back off, which it did. However everyone stared at him in shock and Harry had no idea what he had even done.
"Come on," Hermione said and she pushed Harry out of the Great Hall with Justin following.
Hermione and Justin didn't speak until they were back in the Hufflepuff common room. At last Hermione asked. "Why didn't you tell us that you're a Parselmouth?"
"I'm a what?"
"A Parselmouth, you can talk to snakes," Hermione said.
"Come on, Hermione, I bet there are loads of people here that can do it."
"No, they can't," Hermione said. "Look there's a reason that the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth; he could talk to snakes to."
"And people around here are going to think that you're his great-great-great-great grandson or something," Justin told him.
Harry's face turned fearful and Hermione knew that he didn't like this.

A/N: Harry Potter and Voldemort are distantly related because they are related to the Peverell brothers (Rowling revealed that). Therefore Harry will keep his gift of Parselmouth and will pass it onto his children even though he will defeat Voldemort in the end of this saga (there is no way that I'm having Voldemort live). Thanks everyone for reviewing.
