Severus sat glaring at the sleeping child. He had had no sleep last night, none! Sighing he let his head rest against the chair arm and his mind wander to the events of last night. When Minerva had come back to Hogwarts. She seemed so different, the way she talked and walked. Yes she looked like Minerva and sounded like her too but she wasn't Minerva. Was she? Oww he didn't know and to be quite frank he had had too little sleep to be thinking about it.

"ah Severus! I trust everything was ok last night?"

Severus turned his head to see Dumbledore at the entrance of the ward.

Severus glared annoyed at Dumbledore and then gave a small nod. Dumbledore beamed and wandered over to Harry his wand in hand. He swished it and muttered a spell under his breath. Harry glowed florescent green for a second and then went back to normal.

He then turned to face a quizzical Severus. "No need to worry Severus, a simple tracking spell, young boys tent to wander off" he said knowledgably.

"Breakfast will be, according to my dear house elf's ready in 17minites, if you could arouse little Harry for us that would be most appreciated"

With that Dumbledore left the room shutting the door behind him.

Bellatrix was in Minerva's room swallowing more of the Polyjuice potion again. She scrunched her face up and ran to the bathroom hurling. She at least managed to swallow enough for her change to work. Her skin became a slightly darker colour and wrinklier, her eyes which were once a dark brown changed to a sea blue colour, her black hair became mousey brown. Bellatrix became Minerva.

Changing into Mini's robes she sat at her dressing table putting her hair up into a typical bun type hair style. Her mind drifted to Snape and Harry, if she did this right then she would be the most favoured of all the death eaters! But if she went wrong… no she wouldn't thing of that, she won't go wrong, she knew it!

Dumbledore sat next to Severus and Harry in the great hall where they were all tucking into a fry-up made by the house elf's. Harry had food all around his and was forcing as much food into his small mouth as he could, in case it was to vanish.

Minerva entered the room and walked up to the table where she sat down next to Harry and picked up a plate.

"Hello kitty!" Harry excitedly said. Minerva's looks of disgust vanished and she smiled a very false smile.

"Hello Harry dear… erm are you ok today?" she said unsure of what Minerva would have said to him

"I'm fine thank you, how are you?" Harry cheerfully replied spraying her with food.

"Eat with your mouth shut!" she snapped and then quickly remembered her place

"I mean, I'm sorry Harry but eating with your mouth open is a bad habit" she said smiling and then quickly got back to eating her water melon. Harry smiled again and then got back to stuffing his face.

Bellatrix could already start to feel her body change as she headed down to Snape's office. She entered the room and was almost knocked over by Harry who had rushed enthusiastically towards her and hugged her.

She took her chance and scooped him up and held him with one arm with her wand in the other. Severus stood and stared in shock as she slowly and hideously changed back into her true form.

"ahh Severus, I fooled you didn't I" she said grinning and the look of surprise on his face "Mini is still at our head quarters though whether she is alive or not is a different matter…"

Snape quickly regained his cool. "It is of no matter to me whether the old bat is alive or not, tell me though, why did you come to Hogwarts?"

"Because the Dark Lord said tha"

"The Dark lord!" Snape quickly interrupted. "He has returned?"

"Yes, are are not pleased, or are you worried he will torture you for joining Dumbledore!"

Snape smiled menacingly "quite to opposite, I am over joyed he is back, I will explain to him my self why I have humoured Dumbledore, take me to him"

Harry wiggled in anger his face going red.

"let me gowww! Let to goooowww!!!!!" and with a final scream from Harry, Severus, Bellatrix and Harry disappeared.
