1 Chapter 7
"OWWWW!!!" Nitrotic yelled as Aurora dropped the cauldron onto his foot.
"SORRY!" Aurora cried apologetically. She quickly pulled the cauldron off and moved it to the side. Nitrotic was jumping up and down on one foot, holding the other in his arms.
"Watch what you're doing! If you did that in Snapey's class, we'd be in so much trouble!" As it was, they were in the abandoned girl's toilet, preparing to make some trouble for Zantor.
"You know, I heard that Harry Potter once used this toilet to make a Polyjuice Potion. I hope we have as much luck making one. What are we going to turn him into?" Nitrotic asked.
"I don't know, I was considering turning him into a girl. I suppose we could try an animal, except that we don't know what would happen." Aurora said thoughtfully.
"I like that idea!" Nitrotic rubbed his hands together in a very Mr Burns way, Mr Burns being from a Muggle T.V show.
"Which one, the girl or the animal?" Aurora asked, always vaguely concerned when Nitrotic did that.
"Both! We find a blonde haired, blue eyed girl with a cat, then we can kill two birds with one stone!" Nitrotic grinned so broadly his head might have fallen off.
"You know what? That is just amusing enough to try! BUT, how do we get the ingredients?" Aurora asked.
"Weeeeeell, that part is a little trickier. If I get into much more trouble with Snapey, I may end up in a dungeon or worse. But I just happen to have a little surprise up my sleeve. Meet me in the Astronomy Tower in 10 minutes, and I'll show you how we get the ingredients, the Snapey ones and the lucky girl's hair." Nitrotic smiled as he replied, and they finished setting up the cauldron. Then he dashed to the Ravenclaw common room and Aurora dashed to the Astronomy tower. Twelve minutes later, as Aurora was pacing impatiently, Nitrotic appeared in a whirl. Aurora screamed and tripped over backwards.
"Ow!" Aurora complained as Nitrotic helped her up. "Cool, an Invisibility Cloak! How'd you get it?"
"I have to keep my little secrets now don't I?" Nitrotic said enigmatically. "If I told everyone where I got my little tidbits and junk from, everyone would have them."
"Whatever." Aurora didn't take her eyes off the silvery cloak.
"Do you know of a girl we can take hair from? You know the deal, has to be long blonde hair and blue eyes. Therefore, we have a girl that is as unlike Zantor as we can find. And she has to have a cat." Nitrotic reminded her.
"I know of one. She's a Gryffindor. I don't actually know her name, but I know which room she's in. If you could give me the Cloak…" Aurora was interrupted be Nitrotic.
"Are you mental?! I'm not turning up the chance to go into a girl's bedroom! Why, she could be naked and I'd never know what I missed!"
"Nitrotic!" Aurora warned, waving his finger.
"I am NOT letting anyone else in this Cloak if I could miss something like that!" Nitrotic said adamantly.
"Nitrotic!!" Aurora's voice rose, but Nitrotic seemed oblivious.
"I mean, if I miss that, I'll have nightmares over never having…" With that, Aurora punched Nitrotic in the jaw. His eyes glazed over and he collapsed to the ground.
"Sorry Nitrotic, but I can't let you do that. You'll thank me later. Actually, you probably won't" Aurora hid Nitrotic as best she could, then she donned the Invisibility Cloak. Aurora snuck into the Gryffindor common room, then went up to where she knew the girl slept. The girl was actually in there, and she was brushing her hair. She wasn't naked but she was in her underwear. 'Nitrotic would kill to see this' She thought to herself. Quickly Aurora plucked a hair from the girl's head who yelped and looked around. Aurora snuck out quickly.
"That was so cool! Now, for the Boonslang skin and Bicorn Horn. Should be easy with the Invisibility Cloak." Aurora chuckled to herself, as the girl yelled "PEEVES!"
Upon arriving at Professor Snapes office, she peered through the keyhole and found it empty. Quickly Aurora pushed the door open, and was rewarded with an angry shout. Professor Snape, who had been working next to the door on a difficult potion, cursed very loudly.
"Whoever did that will wish they hadn't woken up this morning!" Snape looked around the room quickly, then looked outside into the corridor. Snape cursed again. Aurora didn't move, for fear of being heard.
"That potion has been going for three weeks now, If I find out who did it, I'll turn them into a tadpole." Snape cleaned up the spilt potion, and Aurora went into the back room looking for the appropriate ingredients. Amongst the various strange ingredients, she found eyes of a Basilisk, dead snakes, toads and other assorted disgusting things. Snape then chose that time to come into the back room also.
"I didn't leave that cupboard open!" Snape said softly. He started looking around the room very closely, while Aurora cursed herself for getting into this. Snape checked his cupboards and desk for missing items, and upon finding nothing out of the ordinary.
"This is very oddly like when Potter was here." Snape pondered as he left. Aurora breathed a sigh of relief and Snape came back, looking wildly around the room.
"I heard that, now who did it!" Snape pulled out his wand. Aurora took quick, unthinking action, grabbing the two containers she needed and bowling over Snape in her rush to leave the room. As she fled, she did not notice the small splash of Snapes potion on her leg…
"OWWWW!!!" Nitrotic yelled as Aurora dropped the cauldron onto his foot.
"SORRY!" Aurora cried apologetically. She quickly pulled the cauldron off and moved it to the side. Nitrotic was jumping up and down on one foot, holding the other in his arms.
