Well! This is the second half of the prologue. After this, the real time of
the story starts and as I said time expands and contract, like a year goes
by in a paragraph.

And please review.
"I wonder whose box that was" began Ron, when they had settled down in a
quiet corner of the common room "It was a woman's."
"Yeah, it was. Someone really rich, cause those come from Claude's. They
are a really expensive muggle shop" said Hermione.
"Snape knows someone who shops at muggle shops?" asked Ron incredulously.
"It was monogrammed" said Hermione, "It was C.C.M. I wonder what it stands
for..."
"I think I saw her face" said Harry.
"Her face! How?" asked Ron
"In the mirror. She had green eyes and black hair-like mine" said Harry.
"We could see what she looks like" said Hermione slowly.
When the two boys stared at her she said irritably "It was a hair brush- it
had hair on it. And we've been making a Polyjuice potion remember?"
They had been making the Polyjuice potion as Plan B and it was ready now.
"Let's go then" she said leading the way, out of the common room to the
second floor toilet.
Hermione added some of the hair to the Polyjuice potion and went to another
cubicle to transform.
A minute later, they heard her gasp.
"My, she certainly is tall!" said a low musical voice filled with awe. "And
she's really beautiful!"
"Hermione, come out. We want to see too. And how do you know what she looks
like? You can't see your own face." Said Ron
"I have a pocket mirror, Ron. And I'm not coming out- my robes, they're.
um. tight." Said Hermione uncomfortably.
"Hermione, just come out!" said Harry "here take my robes as well, put it
over you and come out."
Hermione took the robes over the top of the door and slowly opened the
door.
A tall woman stepped out. She had black hair had fell to her ankles and
curled into tight curls. Green eyes twinkled at them from below thick
eyelashes. A long nose, high cheekbones and a pretty, pink mouth smiled at
them. The boys gawked at her. Then Hermione saw the Map in Ron's hand.
"Ron!" she exclaimed "The Map! Look at the map. Filch is coming here."
"Yeah, that pipe is leaking again" said Myrtle sorrowfully drifting up the
toilet toward them.
"Myrtle!" why didn't you tell us that earlier! Come on" said Harry, who had
finally stopped staring.
"Cleo?" asked Myrtle "Cleo? How are you? What are you doing here?"
"No time to talk" said Hermione running out of the bathroom.
They grabbed the cauldron and everything else and ran out of the toilet
towards their dormitories.
"Better hide in the dormitory, Hermione. I don't think anyone should see
you."
"Good thinking there, Ron." Said Hermione sarcastically. "And I can just
sneak past every one in the common room then."
"Wait here, Hermione" said Harry, and he sprinted away.
"What's he going to do?" moaned Hermione who was now very nervous and in
ill fitting robes.
They heard foot steps, in the corridor next to them, walking toward them.
They were watching it fearfully, when Hermione turned and ran toward the
other end of the corridor.
The door to their corridor opened and Ron ducked behind a statue. Severus
Snape walked into the corridor, scowling as usual. He was accompanied by
Dumbledore.
Ron heard them talking about something. Their voices became louder as they
drew closer to his hiding place.
"Their conducting the final hearing in a month" Snape told Dumbledore "It's
been fifteen years since she disappeared."
Dumbledore made a sound of sympathy and slapped Snpaes shoulder, then
without saying another word, he turned off into another corridor. Snape
continued the corridor towards Ron.
Harry arrived at the corridor and threw his Invisibility Coat to Hermione
who caught it.
Harry ran into another corridor as Snape noticed Hermione in her altered
form. His pale face became paler as he stopped short. Hermione turned the
coat to its right side up and stopped suddenly, staring at Snape. Then
coming to, she swung the cloak around her and disappeared.
Snape ran past Ron, who was hidden in the statues shadow cried "Cleo!
Wait!" But when she disappeared his shoulders slumped and he slowly turned
back. He spotted a startled Ron behind him. Before he could say anything,
Ron turned and ran, ran to save his evenings from the worst detention he
would ever get.
