Chapter 16
Putting the Plan to Action
Cate let out a scream of fury. Sirius transformed and ducked most of the curses that were shot at him. Meagan appeared quickly, grabbed Sirius by the waist, and they were at Hogwarts again.
Meagan yelped as she flew off of Sirius and across the room. Sirius let out a whimper and transformed back. He raised his hand weakly. "I got the hairs." He said faintly. Meagan chuckled and took the hairs.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Elizabeth, and Marykate ran into the room. "Sirius, dear, are you okay?" Elizabeth squealed. "Yeah," Said Sirius. "These are perfect." Said Meagan, raising the hairs to her eyes. She clicked her fingers absentmindedly and two cauldrons appeared before their eyes. She threw the hairs into them.
The one on the left went deadly, evil-looking black. The right one hissed and a silvery orb appeared. It showed Cate and Voldemort in a room, talking. It showed Cate as she left the room. Meagan wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Going sexy now, are we Cate?" She asked. Harry raised his eyebrows and peered into the orb. Marykate, who wouldn't have missed this for the world, ran over. Meagan raised her wand. Harry held his breath. Marykate leaned forward eagerly. Meagan raised her wand and swished it violently towards the floor, making it spark. The colors in the orb began to swirl and writher. Soon, it all stopped and Cate was no longer dressed in her tight clothes, but in beggar's rags.
Cate screamed. People on the streets turned to look at her. Many of the men started to gape at her flowing hair and blood-red lips.
Meagan smiled. Sirius was gaping at in horror. "Is she stuck in there forever?" He choked, panic arising in his voice. Meagan waved her hand. "Only for a week or two." She said.
"Now. For the Polyjuice Potion." Meagan said, looking at it with loathing. The potion hissed as though in reply. Meagan clicked her fingers again and Cate's sexy clothes appeared. She put some Polyjuice Potion in a cup. Closing her eyes, she took a long drink.
A melting sensation came over her and she stumbled, clutching her head. Her hair thinned out and became smooth. Her eyes, which were now open and wide, were turning brown. Her lips became a bloody red and she became a little taller. Her robes seemed to have shrunk a little around the waist. Her feet slipped out of her shoes as she staggered and tried to hold herself up. She looked the tiniest bit older.
Meagan stood straight for the first time in five minutes. She pursed her lips and waved her wand. Cate's clothes disappeared and were now on Meagan. She was a perfect replica of Cate.
Meagan frowned. "I never did like going with the sexy look." She said, then, smiling, "I guess I'm still a little old fashioned."
Marykate was gaping at her. "Do your powers work?" She asked. Meagan shrugged and pointed a cloth on the floor. She closed her eyes and took on a concentrated look. Nothing happened. She wrinkled her nose. "I guess I can't use my powers. That really bites." She said.
Harry was looking awestruck. "Wow." He breathed. Ron had tripped over his own feet. Hermione made a face and folded her arms over her chest. "It's only for a day. I made it so the potion works that way." Meagan said, glaring. Harry thought he could smallest hint of blue in Meagan's eyes.
They walked out of the corridor when Meagan froze. "If I go around looking like this, I'll be arrested." She said, turning and walking back into the dungeon. "Mk, go get Professor Dumbledore." She said, looking very Cate- like indeed. "Yes master." Mumbled Marykate, disappearing and appearing with Dumbledore.
"Is that Meagan?" Dumbledore asked. Meagan smiled. "Yep." She said.
"Do you have the potion?"
"Yup." Said Meagan, patting a bulge in one of her pockets. "I have a knife too." She said, looking eager to slashing Voldemort open.
"Okay, Ms. Delmore, here is some Floo Powder." Dumbledore said, then, putting his hands on her shoulders said, "Be careful."
"I will. You don't think I haven't done this before, do you?" Meagan said, grinning.
"Guys, I'm going to put a spell on myself and you will be able to see and hear everything, okay?" She added as an afterthought.
"Sure."
"Okay."
"Go ahead."
"We'll be watching!"
Meagan waved her wand and an orb appeared, showing the very room she was looking at. "Testing, one, two, three." She said to thin air. The orb said the same thing. "Seems to be in order." She stated. She threw the Floo Powder into the fireplace. She stepped in, shouted, "Black Manor!" and with a whooshing sound, was gone.

Meagan walked along the corridor of the mansion she knew only too well. How many times had she walked these corridors, walking and talking with Lizzie and Lily. She stumbled in her heels. What everyone else didn't know was that she could hear them. "Meagan!" Harry squealed. Meagan chuckled. "I'm alright."
Meagan walked up and ran into Malfoy. "Why, Draco, I have been looking for you. Go to school and check if all the Slytherins are aware of the plan." She said. She pinned Malfoy against the wall. She kissed him and bit his lips so hard it began to bleed. Meagan could hear groans from Harry, Marykate, Ron, and Hermione.
As soon as Malfoy walked away, Meagan began to wipe her mouth. "Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck." She muttered. Once she had wiped her lips, she continued down the hall, stumbling every now and then. "One down," She muttered.
She entered the room that Voldemort was in. "Hello Father." She said. In one swift moment, Voldemort grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall. "You are not my daughter." He hissed. "Father!" Squeaked Meagan. "You are not Cate." He hissed again.
Meagan's hand was now inching towards the knife that was strapped to her leg and Voldemort didn't notice. She whipped the knife out and made a wild swing for Voldemort's arm. She missed. Meagan realized what was going to happen a second too late. She left out a piercing shriek as she stabbed herself in the gut. Voldemort let go and grunted, holding his own stomach. Meagan could hear Marykate scream. Harry had frozen. Meagan knew they could feel her pain.
Cate's form melted away and Meagan's usual form appeared beneath it. Everything was going dizzy. Meagan had gone as pale as death. She felt down her torso and grabbed the handle of the knife. With a wrench, she pulled it out. Blood seeped onto her skirt. "Meagan! Heal yourself!" Choked Marykate.
Meagan closed her eyes. She started to go paler, her lips starting to go green. Her eyes were growing icy. The sparkle in them was lost. "Meagan! Stop! You'll kill yourself!" Marykate shrieked.
Meagan didn't seem to hear her. With her remaining strength, she screamed, "I love you Harry!" and with that, she slumped against the wall, and everything went black.
