was on his back, pushing him down the tunnel.
"Potter, Where are we?" He asked.
"Draco. Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets."
Sunday, week 3, hallway
"Malfoy. Come here."
"What do you want, Potter?"
"Malfoy, I just want to talk to you."
Harry walked over to Draco, who was standing leaning against a wall. He looked back at Ron and Hermione, who were waiting for him. Ron looked like he hoped he would punch Harry, whom he thought was Draco, and Hermione was obviously anxious.
"What do you want?" I Want to know if you can speak Parseltongue."
"How am I supposed to know?"
"Well, do me a favor, and meet me in the prefect's bathroom at Midnight."
"Fine I'll be there."
Sunday, week 3, prefect's bathroom.
Harry walked in to see Hermione and Draco sitting at a table near the edge of the large bath tub. "Hey Hermione. Malfoy."
"Hey Harry."
"Why did you need me here, Potter?"
"We need to know If you can speak Parselmouth or not, cause I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to."
"Why wouldn't you be able to?"
"Well you see," Hermione explained, "The potion, when affecting two individuals simultaneously, can begin to have a negative affect on those people's sense of self. They can begin to totally become the other person, only with a small memory of who they really are. And after a few months, the affects are irreversible."
Draco hesitated, "So, um, How long do we still have?"
"The affects begin to be permanent after about three months. And the antidote still has another month, month and a half to brew, and if anything goes wrong, we have to start over. At this point, we can't afford anything but a perfect potion."
"I'm never going to say this again, but for once I wish we had Snape."
"I agree."
Hermione looked between the two enemies. "Wow, two milestones in the space of about ten seconds. Harry wants Snape's help and Harry and Draco agree."
"SO Potter, how do we find out if I'm a Parselmouth or not?"
"Like this." Harry took a small plastic terrarium out from under his cloak, and set it on the table. Inside was a small yellow and white snake. "She's a baby albino Python. She won't hurt you, I made her promise. Try and talk to her."
"All right. Hello."Draco looked at Harry expectantly.
"Try again."
Hello.
Hello, Who are you?
I'm Draco Malfoy, and you are?
Haspetha.
Well, nice to meet you I guess. Although, I have to ask you, will I still be able to do this when I'm back in my own body.
It is possible, although I do not know much about such matters. Now If you will excuse me, I shall return to my nap.
Draco looked back to Harry who was smiling. "So?"
"I think Slytherin would be proud of you."
