Chapter Five: Hatching A Plan
No sooner had I put the dinner on the table when Harry woke up.
"Argh, where am I?" he asked sitting up, guessed he had a pretty bad headache by the look on his face.
I giggled at him.
"Back at the flat, are you o.k.?" I asked.
"Nope, drank too much last night, really bad headache and I'm hungry"
"Well, you're in luck, I just finished making dinner!" I said pointing to the hot meal on the table.
"Yum, thanks Mione, I don't know what I'd do without you!" he said getting up of the couch and sitting down at the table.
"You'd probably starve to death that's what! Now come on eat up before it goes cold!" I said sitting down myself.
"Mione, I want to apologise for last night, I shouldn't have gone with Allyssa, I should have stayed here with you, I mean it was your first night here at the flat, and I had to go out and get drunk!" said Harry.
"It's o.k., I mean after you left I went straight to bed anyway, I was really tired"
He smiled at me and we eat the rest of our meal in silence. As I got up to get the ice cream he spoke again.
"So, did you do anything this morning while I was passed out?" he asked.
I figured he'd find out about me going to Ginny's sooner or later, so I told him anyway.
"Yeah, I went down to Ginny's this morning, and we had a chat just like we used to do in Hogwarts" I replied.
"That sounds nice"
"Yeah it was, I really miss going talking to Ginny"
"Well, you can always talk to me?" he said point to himself after he finished his ice cream.
"I know Harry, I know" I said smiling at him. "Hey, could you hand me my bag, I need a mint after that meal!"
"Sure, here you go"
As he handed me my bag, the napkin with the car licence plate number on it fell out. He picked it up an dread it.
"Hey, this is my car number plate, why is it written on this napkin?" he asked looking at me.
I tried to think up a believable excuse.
"Well, when I was at Ginny's this morning, she asked if I knew who's car licence plate it was and I said it was yours, why do you ask, and she said, oh no reason, I found it in Jake's play pen that's all" I finished, hoping that Harry would believe me.
"Oh, yeah I remember, I wrote it down for Ron because he wanted a car just like it, he must have left it there when he went to see Ginny, the other week"
"Well, that's Ron for you!" I said laughing and so did Harry.
"Well, thank you for the dinner Hermione, it was delicious, but if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get a shower and go to bed" he said standing up.
"But you've only just woken up!" I replied.
"Hey, a guy needs his sleep!" he said laughing. "See you in the morning Mione" he said as he strode of towards the bathroom.
I picked up the napkin with the car licence plate number on it and sat down on the couch. So this was the number on Harry's car, but if that's the car Allison and David left in today, how did they get Harry's car? Wait a minute! Last night Allyssa drove off home in Harry's car after she had dropped him of here. The same day, that Allison girl, she had the same voice as Allyssa. But she looks completely different from Allyssa. Wait, that's it! The smirk Allyssa gave me when she kissed Harry out of the window, and the smirk Allison gave the butler in Ginny's was the same! It was the same person! She had to be using a Polyjuice Potion to change her appearance. The only question was, how was I going to catch her in the act?
At that moment the bathroom door opened, and out came Harry with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. I tried to stop but I couldn't my eyes wandered down to his chest.
"Night Mione!" he called as he opened the door to his bedroom.
"Wait Harry!"
I shouted as I ran up to him.
"Yeah?"
"I was just wondering, when are you going out with Allyssa again?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, at about 11 in the morning, why?"
"Oh I was just going to let you know, that I'm going out tomorrow shopping and that I wont be back until late o.k.?"
"Yeah that's fine with me, have fun, night"
He said as he closed the door to his bedroom. I jumped up and high fived the air before sitting back down on the couch in the living room. Tomorrow I would follow Harry and Allyssa out on their little date, and see if she was using a Polyjuice Potion, which I was almost certain that she would, to keep her appearance as Allyssa Williams and stop herself from turning back into Allison Richards. I figured that she was changing her appearance to look like Allyssa when I saw that a small part of her hair was changing to brown when I first saw her last night. I would have to borrow Harry's invisibility cloak to keep me, well, invisible to the pair. The only question was, were was it? If I didn't look for it now, I wouldn't have time to look in the morning, so I put the napkin back into my bag and began the search, being careful not to wake Harry.
After two hours of exhaustive looking, I eventually found it, in the last place I looked. In the cupboard underneath the kitchen sink. I pulled it out and tried it on just to make sure that it would cover all of me. It would look a bit odd otherwise of you saw a pair of boots running about everywhere. I tried it on and the problem was that it wasn't to short, it was too long. If I kept it like this, I would end up tripping all over my self. I pulled it off and placed it down on the couch, before walking into my room and pulling a book of the shelf. The book was called Quick spells for every day use. I walked back into the living room and set the book on the table. I flipped through the pages until I found the one I wanted. Page 234, transfiguring spells for anything. I skimmed down the page and found the spell for fabric transfiguration. Perfect. The spell wasn't permanent so I would be able to change it back when I was finished with it. I took my wand out and pointed it at Harry's cloak.
"Carnem Figurato!" I whispered, so as not to wake Harry.
The spell took effect and changed the cloak into a black colour. It lifted up into the air and spun around before changing into a cat suit. Oh boy, at least I could see it and Harry would think it was just an old Halloween costume if he ever saw it. Which I hoped he wouldn't. As the suit floated back onto the couch, I picked it up and walked into my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and hung the suit up inside my wardrobe. Then I got ready for bed. I changed into my pyjamas and cleaned my teeth. I climbed into bed and I was about to draw the curtains when I realised that I had left the book on the kitchen table. I jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. I picked up the book and strode back to my room. I shut the door once again and placed the book back onto the shelf. I climbed back into bed and drew the curtains. I lay my head on the pillow and in no time at all I drifted off to sleep with a smile spread across my face.
A/N: End of this chapter, sorry if it's a bit shorter than the last one, but I couldn't think off anything else to write for this chapter because all my other ideas are going in the next chapter so I'm sorry! I hope you all like it! Please, please review and no flames! Thanks!
Bye for now
