It's not my time!
Chapter Two
A complete disaster
After booking in Gryffindor for the Quidditch Pitch, Harry and Hermione walked together to the Gryffindor Common Room to get their potions stuff and then to the dungeons where Snape was waiting for them. Ron had all ready arrived and he looked greatly distressed.
' Why you finally decided to join us Miss Granger and Mr. Potter. Tonight we will be making a very precise potion, as you would have noticed earlier in class, which you all attended late, we were making a polyjuice potion. You will each make the potion and I will be grading you on how well you results work. Once make we will be using it on each other to test out, It will take at least a month to make. If you are successful your potion should only last an hour. But if you make a ghastly mistake it could affect anything and could take ages to reverse back. I will give you all your ingredients and you will follow the instructions on page 173 of your books. Hopefully you would have all brought them with you…' Snape eyed his way around the room to Ron, Hermione and Harry. Luckily they had brought all their potions stuff with them; Ron, Harry and Hermione had all sighed with relief.
Harry set up his cauldron, and added his ingredients to his polyjuice potion. He was separated from Hermione and Ron. Snape in the background still hammering them about the effects of the polyjuice potion if anything went wrong,' And make sure you don't add any hair to the potion as to who you are going to become till last, that we will be doing in a month's time and make sure you don't let any of your hair fall into it either…' Harry was losing his concentration with Snape barking orders in his ear. Harry accidentally forgot to stir the potion before he added the boomslang skin.
' Oh no….' Before Harry could do anything he could see an accident happening before his eyes.
Moaning Myrtle had coming in saying that she was sorry to Harry about this afternoon and that someone had told her that Harry was here and Snape was telling her to go away because she was distracting Harry. She was floating just above Harry and Snape had tripped on his robes telling Myrtle to get lost and accidentally pushed over Harry's cauldron. Snape dived for cover as the potion spilt everywhere. It splashed onto Harry and…Everything went black and white. Harry felt dizzy and fell backwards onto the concrete floor. Everything was spinning. He could hear Hermione screaming: he could see Ron trying to see him and Snape holding him back gasping. But Harry could no longer see Myrtle, he had just assumed that she had gone after Snape had told her off. Then everything went black.

A few hours later, Harry heard an all too familiar voice, the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore.
He was talking to Professor McGonnagal, the head of Gryffindor house.
' Well what's going to happen to them both?'
" I have no idea what's going to happen Minerva the both of them till Severus finds out what went wrong with the potion.' Harry didn't dare open his eyes he knew he was going to be in trouble for his carelessness. Harry thought to himself I wonder what I've done Must have been bad to land myself in the hospital wing. But who was Dumbledore talking about when he said the both of them…. Harry was stopped in his thoughts. He could her Hermione screaming in his ears. He woke up with a start, he opened his eyes.
' Hello Harry, I was soon expecting you to wake up. I'm afraid umm…. I don't want to shock you but your potion cause a disaster causing some err…disastrous effects.' Harry all of a sudden didn't feel like himself anymore. And that's when he saw her.
Her hair a deep shade of brown in ponytails, her eyes a nice hazel colour, she wore Ravenclaw robes and yet seemed so familiar. She approached Harry's bed and giggled,' Hi Harry.'
Harry answered,' Do I know you?'
' Of course I'm Myrtle!' And that's when it hit him. Harry wasn't Harry any more he felt a weird gut feeling…he looked at himself in a hand mirror that lay on a table in front of him and he fainted.
He, Harry was a transparent, faded colour. He was…dead.. His hair a dull, lifeless black and his eyes a faded Grey. He knew now that he wasn't whole he was …a ghost.

Myrtle
had never felt so alive in years. She was able to pick up things, not drop
them, she could walk, and yet not have to float and best of all she felt as if
straight away she could go to read out the library straight away yet the
headmaster had called her to his office to have a very serious talk to her
about what happened. So she did as she was asked and went straight to
Dumbledore's office with…Professor McGonnagal.
The Password was Favourites…some kind of box full of muggle chocolates Myrtle found out about later on. McGonnagal took her up to Dumbledore's Office and left her there to wait for him. She looked around the office with peculiar interest. Things had changed a lot since she'd been around. But there was one object that was still there…the Hogwarts sorting hat. It looked more torn apart now then it did when she got sorted into Ravenclaw {for more obvious reasons than one}. She was startled when Dumbledore came in.
' Why hello Myrtle, I haven't seen you in quite a while…take a seat.' Myrtle sat down, her eyes still wondering around the room.
' You are aware of the events that happened today aren't you?' Dumbledore question
' Yes.'
' Well could you please tell me everything that happened.'
' Ok. Well today I saw Harry and his friends…' Myrtle wondered whether to tell Dumbledore about how they'd come into the girl's bathroom, but she decided against it,' And I've known them for a while ever since there second year, when the chamber of secrets opened again and Harry found where the entrance was…and yes well I talked and then we got into well I got into a bit of an argument and went off back to the girls bathroom.'
' Go on Myrtle.' Dumbledore said
' Then afterwards I went to apologize and I saw that Harry and his friends had left the Great Hall early after dinner, so I went and asked anyone if they knew where they were. Neville told me that they had gotten a detention from Snape…I mean professor Snape and I went down to the dungeons to apologize. It looked like they we're making some kind of potion…I don't know what is was to be sure but I over heard professor Snape talking about some poly...something potion. Then he saw me and yelled at me and told me to go away. Then he tripped over, falling towards the potion that Harry was making. It spilt everywhere and I saw professor Snape duck but I don't think harry did in time….then all I remember was everything spinning and going black and white. I then heard someone screaming then that was it. I woke up in the hospital wing.'
' Oh I see, I better ask Severus what potion this was. This information just might as well help Harry recover and everything back to normal.' Dumbledore said quite concerned.
' Normal?' Myrtle asked
' Yes, normal. Once we find out what happened with the potion Harry will be turned back to his usual human teenage form and you, Myrtle will be umm..well..' Dumbledore was cut off.
' Dead again….' Myrtle sighed
' Yes, but that's the way it has to be. You can't change the past. Doing that could destroy you, harry and many others futures. I'm sorry myrtle but that's the way it is. '
' Oh but what am I going to do now people are going to ask where I came from and who I am.' Myrtle said logically.
' Yes that we better sort out straight away. And Harry too… we're going to have to cancel the quidditch match with gryffindor against slytherin, I guess slytherin will just have to play hufflepuff or ravenclaw. Now you're going to have to change your name because people will be slightly suspicious if you call your self by your normal name. Why don't you choose a name?'
' Umm…. Well I've always been fond of the name Lucia. It's not a very common name here. It's Italian for Lucy. I can be Lucia Andrecchio.'
' Ok and say you're from Liverpool. And that you only just found out that your a witch because…'
' My parents died in a car crash and that I went to live with relatives and that they told me that I was a witch and sent me here to Hogwarts to learn witchcraft.'
' Just remember to stick to that story; you don't want to blow your cover. Now as for Harry what are we going to do about him? He can't just stay in the hospital wing forever now can he? And he's going to miss out on a lot of school work.'
Myrtle looked down at her knees and just for one second she felt sorry for harry. She knew what it like to dead and alone and yet have no one to talk to. May be she could…
' Myrtle you may go now it's all right I'm sure I can sought out this mess. You can stay in the hospital wing for tonight, tomorrow you'll get different robes because you mightn't be in Ravenclaw after I tell every one who you are and when you get sorted again.'
' I have to get sorted again?'
' Yes you do, for all you know you might be in Gryffindor with Ron and Hermione.'
' Ok then. Bye professor.' Myrtle said leaving dumbledore's office.
' Bye myrtle, and good luck.'
