Christmas time at Hogwarts was the best as many students have known before the attacks. The school was almost nearly empty save for the very few who had to stay.

But Harry was glad most of the other students have left. He was tired of all the muttering roomers about him and all the other students skirting around him in the corridors as if he was about to sprout fangs or spit poison. Even Tom and Jerry were tired of all that.

Fortintly, he was glad Fred and George thought that him being The Heir of Slytheirn was loonicress. Ginny and Percy weren't amused though and tried to tell the twins to stop but they kept going. Neville and Luna were glad that at least some doesn't believe he really is the heir.

But Fred and George's Antics have made Malfoy more angry every time he heard them.

Harry and Tom and Jerry were glad the moment the school was nearly empty. They and Neville and Luna and the Weasley's had the run of Gryffindor Tower so they can play Exploading Snap loud as they can without desterbing anyone.

Not only that, Harry and Tom and Jerry were now more skilled at Wizard Chess. They now know the peaces better and they all obayed them without any confusing hints.

Meanwhile, Percy and many other prefects who had also signed up to stay were supporting the teachers during this troubled time. As for Ron, he chose to go spend Christmas with Hermione again.

Harry and Neville awoke on Christmas Morning being the only boys left in their dorm. Just as they did, Ginny and Luna bursted in.

"How did you two get here?" Tom asked as he and Jerry had woken up by the girls bursting in. "I thought the stairs were supposed to turn into a slide and send you back to the common room."

"Only the girls dorm does that if boys try to enter." Said Ginny. "But girls are aloud to visit the boys dorm."

"Well that's good to know." Said Jerry. "Anyway, how's the potion doing?"

"It's ready." Said Luna. "We'll be going tonight."

"Tonight it is then." Said Neville.

By then, Hedwig flew in and dropped a present on Harry's bed which to his and Tom and Jerry's surprise. was from the Dursley's. That had sent Harry a toothpick and note asking if Harry could stay at Hogwarts for the summer as well.

"I daught that." Harry said as he knew that he had to go back to stranghen up the blood wards so the Death Eaters wouldn't find him. Besides, Dumbledore didn't want to place him there in the first place anyway but he had to because of the wards.

Plus, the only good thing about him being with the Dursley's was when he met Tom and Jerry.

The rest of Harry's presents were more satisfying. Hagrid had sent him some a large tin of fudge which Harry would soften up by the fire place before eating. Ron had sent him a book called Flying With The Canons which was in fact his favorite Quidditch team. Hermione had sent him a lucery egael feather quill.

Hermione had also given them a note that something was very off about Cindy but she couldn't find out why or what it was. Harry and Tom and Jerry hoped she was alright.

And his last present was from Molly Weasley. He and Tom and Jerry have been given more hand nitted sweaters and some cake and they read the cade inside with a fresh serge of gilt thinking about Arthur's car. Which hasn't been seen sense the crashing on the Whomping Willow and then in the Black Lake and the rules they and the others have broken just to get to school.


In The Great Hall, the six were seen enjoying the feast without having to think about the dread of the Polyjuice Potion. Not only was The Great Hall brillient form the Christmas Trees and decorations, but snow was falling from the enchanted sky which was all warm and soft and dry.

Percy asked what Fred and George were laughing at thought he had no idea that the twins have bewitched his prefect badge which now said, Pin Head.

Harry and Tom and Jerry didn't care that Malfoy was making high marks about their new sweaters. With a bit of luck, Malfoy will be getting his payback in a few hours.

As soon as Harry and Ginny and Tom and Jerry and Neville and Luna had finished their pudding, they left The Great Hall to finish their plans for the evening.

"We still need a bit of hair we'll be changing into." Said Ginny.

"Crabbe and Goyle." Said Neville. "They're both Malfoy's friends. He'll tell them anything."

"Meanwhile, me and Tom will follow you guys from the invisibility cloak." Said Jerry. "And we also need to make sure the real Crabbe and Goyle can't burst in while we're intergating Malfoy."

"I filled these cakes with a simple sleeping draft." Luna said as she held up two of the said cakes.

"Good thinking." Said Harry. "We know how greedy Crabbe and Goyle are with food. They're bound to eat them."

"Once they're asleep we'll pull out some of their hairs and hide them in the broom cupboard next to the entrence." Said Tom.

"You guys do that while me and Luna go and check on the potion." Ginny said as she and Luna left.

As soon as the girls left, Harry and Neville and Tom and Jerry had set the cakes down and hid themselves behind the gargoyle. Neville pulled out his wand to left the cakes into the air but Harry grabbed his arm.

"Maybe I should do it. Your wand still needs to be replaced."

"Right. Good thinking." Neville said as he put his wand away.

By then, Harry pulled out his wand and casted,

"Whingardiem Leviosa."

By then, the cakes have levitated into the air. By then, Crabbe and Goyle had walked out of The Great Hall with hand-fulls of cakes. When they saw the levitated cakes, they were amazed as they grabbed them and took a bite of them.

Just as quickly as they bit the cakes, they dropped down sleeping.

"Quick let's get them." Tom said as the four of them grabbed Crabbe and Goyle and took them to the said broom cupboard. After hiding their bodies, Harry and Neville the hairs they needed and then made their way to the girls bathroom.


"So did you get the hairs?" Ginny asked as soon as the boys entered.

"We've got them." Said Harry. "Did you get your hairs?"

"Remember Millicent Bulstrode?" Ginny asked as she held out a bottle with a long peace of hair in it. "When she tried to strangle me at the Dueling Club, this hair fell on my robes. And sense she went home for Christmas, I'll tell that I've desided to come back."

"And what about you Luna?" Jerry asked.

"I didn't get any hair." Luna answered.

"That's alright." Said Tom. "You can join me and Jerry in the cloak."

"I've picked up some Slytherin robes from one of the closets." Ginny said as she pointed to the said robes. "We'll need to change before we take our sip."

Very quickly, Harry and Ginny and Neville grabbed the robes and ran into the stalls and changed and came back out in the Slytheirn robes. As soon as that was done, the three of them took some viles and put the potion into it as they added the hairs.

"Ugh. This is Crabbe." Neville said as he added Crabbe's hair into his vile.

"Alright. Here we go." Said Harry.

The three of them took the sip of the potion. And when they did,

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Said Neville.

"Me too." Said Harry.

The three dropped the viles ad they sashed on the floor. By then, Harry saw his body bubble as he turned into Goyle which Neville felt the same as he turned into Crabbe.

However, Ginny ended up growing fur and a tail. It was cat fur and a cat tail as matching cat ears had sponed and she had her faced turned into one for a cat.

"Whoa. Ginny I think you grabbed the wrong hair." Said Jerry.

"Oh dear." Said Ginny. "The Polyjuice Potion is only ment for human tranceformations."

"Sorry Ginny." Said Neville.

"We still sound like ourselves." Said Harry. "You need to sound more like Crabbe."

"Ahem, Sorry Ginny." Neville said inperinating Crabbe's voice.

"Just go guys. You're wasting tine."

"I'll stay with you." Said Luna.

"Okay. Wish us luck." Tom said as he wapped the Invisibility Cloak around him and Jerry.

Soon, the four walked out of the bathroom and made their way to the dungons.

"The Slytheirn Common Room should be around here somewhere." Said Harry.

"Oi!" Shouted Percy who was seen in front of them.

"What are you doing down here Weasley?" Neville inpersonating Crabbe's voice again.

"I happen to be a school prefect. And you two have no right to be out at this hour."

"Crabbe! Goyle!"

Harry never thought he'd be glad to see Malfoy for once as he walked over to them.

"Where have you two been? Were you still stuffing your faces in The Great Hall? And why are you wearing glasses Goyle?"

"Reading." Harry lied as he took off his glasses.

"Reading? I didn't know you could read. And what are you doing down here Weasley?"

"That's non of your consern Malfoy. I suggest you head back to your common room before I have to deduct any points form you."

"Right." Malfoy said as he lead Harry and Neville to the Slytherin dorm.

Fortintly, Tom and Jerry managed to get past Percy without bumping into him from the cloak.


After arriving in the Slytheirn dorm, Malfoy sat on the arm chair in front of the couch.

"Well sit down." He said as Harry and Neville sat down. "Did you see the front page of the Daily Prophet? Arthur Weasley has been charged 50 galleons for enchanting a car."

That made Neville clutch his fist.

"What's wrong with you Crabbe?"

"Stomach ach." Neville lied.

"I wish we could punch in the face." Tom whispered to Jerry.

"Me too." Jerry whispered back.

"You know, I'm surprised the prophet isn't reporting anything about tha attacks. I guess Dumbledore's trying to hush it all up form the public. Father always said Dumbledore was the worst to even be around in this school."

"You're wrong!" Harry shouted.

"What is it? You think there's someone here who's worse than Dumbledore?"

"Harry Potter?"

"Good one Goyle. You're completely right. That slint Potter is worse than Dumbledore. Everyone thinks he's The Heir of Slytherin. I wish I knew who the real heir is. I could be helping him by then."

"You must have some idea who's behind those attacks." Said Neville.

"You know I don't Crabbe. I've told you over and over again. How many times do I have to tell you? But for what I do know, last time The Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood died. It's only a matter of time before one of them is killed again. As for me, I hope it's those Granger girls."

Neville got up to hit Malfoy but Harry held him back.

"What's the matter with you two?"

"It's his stomach ach." Said Harry. "I'm gonna take him to the hospital to have it looked at."

"Alright. But expect me to come and find you again."

Soon, Harry and Neville had left the dorm with Tom and Jerry still in the cloak following behind.


As soon as they were out, Harry and Neville hid themselves in the cloak with the cat and mouse until they were back in the girls bathroom. As soon as they were in, they changed back into their Gryffindor robes and told Ginny and Luna what they know.

"Well, so much for Malfoy being The Heir of Slytherin." Said Ginny.

"I was really hoping he was." Said Jerry. "Anyway, we better get you to the hospital Ginny. We can just tell Madam Pomfery that we were only experamenting."

"I fiugered I should head there anyway."


Authors note:

I didn't think it'd be easy for me have Ginny and Luna go as well but I guess it is what it is. We sure are coming a good way in this story. What do you think?

Happy Easter everyone.
