Hermione went back into the common room and sat with Ron and Harry. They were playing a game of wizarding chess. Ron was as usual winning as his Knight was destroying Harry's castle.
"Damn, where's Maria?" Harry asked.
"She's in the dorm, planning revenge on Slytherin," she replied thoughtfully.
"Ooh, Harry lets go help. We can help stick it to Malfoy," Ron smiled as one of his pawns hacked at his opponents remaining castle.
"Declare me the winner then?"
"Ooh, why not, my record can stand one defeat," they abandoned the game and dashed off to the girls' dorm.
Maria was staring out of the window sucking on the end of her quill. Slowly a wide smile spread across her face and became a wicked grin.
"Hey, Maria. 'Mione tells us that you're gonna stick it to Slytherin," Ron said from behind.
"Well, I feel Gryffindor pride is at stake and Miss' Parkinson, Bullstrode and Zabine are gonna get Slytherin in deep trouble. Hermione, can you brew polyjuice potion?"
"For?"
"Christmas...."
----------------------------------------
Over Christmas, Hermione, Ron, Harry and Maria were some of the few Gryffindor left. Slytherin had three members left Parkinson, Zabine and Bullstrode. Hermione and Maria needed the final ingredient of the polyjuice potion, a hair off one of the Slytherin girls. Their opportunity came while on their way to check on the potion.
"Ooh, mudbloods," Pansy's shrill voice echoed along the corridor. Maria turned and saw Pansy and Millicent ready for a fight. She stuck her foot out and tripped the enemy up.
"Oopsie, sorry Parkinson," Maria grinned at the other girl who glared from the floor. This quickly escalated into a full on fight during which Maria grabbed some of Pansy's hair and Hermione grabbed some of Millicent's. The two Gryffindor girls were rescued by Professor McGonagall, who sent them up to Gryffindor tower and the Slytherin girls to her office for being out of dorms after hours.
Maria and Hermione smiled with victory, they ran to the potion and split it into two. They added the hair samples and then quickly drank it. They shuddered at the taste and their bodies convulsed as they turned into their chosen Slytherin. They quickly escaped and hurried towards the Slytherin dungeons. They approached the secret wall.
"Password is mudblood." Maria told Hermione and the wall. It slid away and Maria entered the Slytherin common room for the first time. It was a low, dark and damp room with rough walls. The fire was dying and Blaise was nowhere to be seen. Maria withdrew her wand and grinned wickedly. "Hope Slytherin like pink," she uttered the spell and the walls became pink and the tall high backed leather chairs became comfy armchairs covered in fluffy pink material. Hermione went to work on the portrait laughing at what Maria had orchestrated. If things went wrong Maria would take the blame and Hermione wouldn't be named.
"Done, let's go they'll be coming back soon," the girls left and rushed to their own common room as the polyjuice potion would soon wear off.
The following morning when the other students returned and came in for lunch, Slytherin's would die of embarrassment.
