A/N: Many thanks to deathnoteno1fan-codegeasslover who always reviews each of my chapters. :D I am skipping a chapter because Lelouch isn't in it. I own nothing.

Chapter 8 Petrification

Suzaku, C2, and Nunally all went to the Shrieking Shack without Lelouch. Lelouch had told them he was going to check out what the Golden Trio was up to. Lelouch skulked along the corridor, waiting for Ron and Harry to leave the Great Hall. They took forever, but Lelouch kept himself busy while waiting. He was trying partial transfigurations of his eyes. The two finally left, just before Crabbe and Goyle got up. Lelouch watched them as they ate the Sleeping Draught filled cupcakes were eaten up by the two large oafs. They fell asleep and Harry and Ron dragged them away. Lelouch stalked them as they ran to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Lelouch decided to wait just outside, away from their looking eyes if and when they came out. Strangely enough, he saw Crabbe and Goyle emerge from the bathroom. This didn't put anything past Lelouch.

A Polyjuice Potion? How juvenile. Lelouch thought. So there plan is to ask Malfoy if he is Slytherin's heir. That would have to make Harry innocent of being the Heir. I'll only need to watch their reaction when they leave.

Lelouch continued to follow them, up until the Slytherin common room. Lelouch stayed out watching. He waited an hour until he saw a half mutated Crabbe/Harry and another mutation of Goyle/Ron. It was not pretty. Lelouch couldn't tell what was going on because they had booked it so fast and their expressions were still that of Crabbe and Goyle, blank. They ran back into the girl's bathroom. Lelouch decided to go to his Animagus form to spy. He checked to make sure no one was around. Check. He concentrated very hard on his cat. Check. Lelouch visualized himself becoming the cat. Check. Finally, he willed his very form to become a cat. Check. Lelouch checked out his form. Perfect in every way. He strolled into the bathroom. He overheard Hermione.

"It was a cat hair!" she sobbed. "Millicent must have a cat! And the potion isn't supposed to be used for animal transformation."

"It's okay, Hermione," Harry said quickly. "We'll take you to Madam Pomfrey. She never asks too many questions…"

Cat Lelouch left the bathroom and headed toward the Shrieking Shack. Upon entering, he saw C2 in her full form. Nunally was almost there. Suzaku was staying out this round. Then he noticed a black cat.

"Great job Lelouch, you finally did it!" Suzaku said. Nunally and C2 came out of their forms. Nunally felt a cat come to her. She sat down and began petting.

"That's you Lelouch. I know it," She said, still petting. Lelouch then walked a couple feet away and transfigured back.

"Okay, I found out a couple of game changers. Harry is not Slytherin's heir. Malfoy might be, but I don't think so. Hermione accidentally drank a cat Polyjuice Potion, so she'll be in the Hospital Wing a while." Lelouch explained.

"Poor Hermione. Let's do something for her." Nunally said.

"Okay, you decide." Lelouch told.

Nunally thought and said, "A book and some Chocolate Frogs."

"Good idea. Now back to business," Lelouch got back to.

"So, who do you think is Slytherin's heir?" Suzaku asked.

"That's the scary part, I don't know." Lelouch replied.

"This is serious then." Suzaku stated.

"Keep an eye out. Suzaku, you watch the Golden trio. If you hear or see anything suspicious, tell me." Lelouch said. "Now let's go; it's dinnertime."

The four left the Shrieking Shack to go to dinner. Since it was still during Christmas break, there weren't many people. Lelouch decided to have them sit next to Harry and Ron.

"Hey! Where's Hermione?" Lelouch asked.

"She's, uh, not feeling well." Ron said.

"What's wrong with her?" Lelouch asked.

"We don't know." Ron replied.

"What happened before then?" Lelouch kept asking.

"Nothing!" Harry yelled. "Leave us alone!"

Lelouch had gotten his answer.

"Okay guys, let's sit a bit further down." Lelouch said. The four made their way down the table.

"Malfoy is definitely not the heir. Now let's visit Hermione." Lelouch suggested.

They made their way after dinner to the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey didn't let anyone see her, but she did take the book, The Monster Book of Monsters, and the Chocolate Frogs.

"Tell her to stroke the spine before opening it." Nunally told the nurse.

The nurse went over and told Hermione about the book and what to do.

"Thank you Nunally." Hermione yelled over to her from behind the curtains.

"You're welcome Hermione. Hope this helps." Nunally replied, leaving.

A couple of weeks passed. The foursome had finally mastered getting to their Animagus forms. Hermione got feeling better and left the Hospital Wing. Lelouch decided to do some espionage as a cat on Harry and the other two. He had found out who had been it fifty years ago, Hagrid, but to Lelouch it didn't make sense. Lelouch was walking down the corridor when he saw a strange sight. Suzaku was looking at a window. Harry was next to him.

"Hey, Suzaku see anything." Lelouch called.

Suzaku didn't reply. Lelouch rushed over to him. He had been Petrified.

"Suzakuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Lelouch yelled, turning to Harry. People were starting to file in. They saw Harry, a Petrified Suzaku, and an upset Lelouch.

Out in the crowd, they heard, "You deserve it you filthy Mudblood Eleven."

Lelouch glared into the crowd.

"Oh my!" Professor McGonagall cried. "Potter, Lamperouge, come with me. Chawla, take Kururugi to the Hospital Wing."

Rakshata levitated Suzaku to Madam Pomfrey. Harry and Lelouch followed her. Lelouch kept glaring intensely at Harry. Harry kept his gaze away from Lelouch. She sent them up to the Headmaster's office. Lelouch walked over to his desk.

"I swear I'll find out who did this. Harry, you need to tell me everything you know" Lelouch told.

Harry just nodded.

"I'm sure you will, but until then, we must be on guard. You two are dismissed." Dumbledore said.

Lelouch stormed out taking Harry with him to the common room.

"Tell me everything you know." Lelouch commanded, without his Geass.

"Malfoy and I are definitely not the Heir. Hagrid did it fifty years ago-." Harry said, getting interrupted.

"Hagrid couldn't have done it. It doesn't fit. It has to be someone else, Hagrid was a Gryffindor. The Heir of Slytherin did it fifty years ago. Another Heir, or the same one, is doing it now. Probably someone in Slytherin itself. The question is who, though." Lelouch pondered. "We'll have to investigate."

"Well, I did find a diary that showed me that Hagrid had been expelled and the killings stopped." Harry explained.

"Let me see it." Lelouch said. When they walked into the room, it looked like a tornado had hit Harry's stuff.

"It's not here. Someone must have taken it." Harry exclaimed.

"Only Gryffindor's know our password. It could've been a boy or a girl since girls are allowed into our dormitories, but not boys into theirs. Homenum Revelio." Lelouch casted.

No one was hiding in the room.

"Dang it. We've eliminated all of the Slytherins, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws at the school. It has to be a Gryffindor. My guess is that the diary is controlling a Gryffindor." Lelouch explained.

"So how does that help us?" Harry asked.

"Well, all we have to do is find the diary in one of the dormitories, or interrogate all of the Gryffindors, but you'd need a large brew of Veritaserum." Lelouch spoke. "Let's check all the boy's dormitories. Use Accio Riddle's Diary to find the diary. I'll take 4th years and up and you take 1st through 3rd years. Go."

They spent an hour checking all of the boy's dormitories.

"Did you find it?" Lelouch asked.

"No. It must be in the girl's dormitories." Harry said. "I'll ask Hermione to check them tonight."

"Fine."

Lelouch told Nunally what happened and went to comfort her.

What a wonderful, terrible chapter. Please review.
