Hi! Here is Chapter six of A Hufflepuff in a Ravenclaw family. Sorry I haven't published in a while, but I just started school, so yeah. So in this chapter Pamina deals with the aftermath of what she learned and begins her friendship with Harry Potter. Disclaimer: Do you think I own Harry Potter?
Pamina could not sleep. No matter how hard she tried, images of her father being tried by the Wizengamot kept popping into her mind. why hadn't someone told her earlier? Did it become a secret once her father was cleared of all charges? This was terrible. Plain and simple.
Pamina stood up. She needed to go for a walk. She knew she wasn't technically allowed to go for a walk, but being a metamorphmagus had it's perks. She screwed up her face and came out as Professor McGonagall. She just hoped she didn't run into Professor McGonagall. She walked out of the Hufflepuff Common Room and up a few flights of stairs and hallways. She ended up in a room. In the room was a mirror and in front of the mirror was Harry Potter. Harry turned around.
"Oh Professor, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be out of bed, it's just I-"
"It's alright," Pamina turned back into herself, "I'm a metamorphmagus."
"What?" Harry asked.
"I can turn myself into any person or change my hair or nose or anything."
"That's cool," Harry responded. "I found something down here. Pamina, right? Well, see this mirror, look in it."
Pamina walked over and looked in the mirror.
"What do you see?" Harry asked.
"Well, I'm standing with my parents, and with the Minister of Magic, in this fancy room, and the minister is presenting my dad with a medal for services against You-Know-Who and I think-" Pamina did not want to continue on.
"What?" Harry asked.
Pamina did not want to tell anyone about her dad. Especially not Harry Potter.
"C'mon you can tell me,"
"Well, don't tell anyone this, but I just learned today that my dad was a Death Eater."
"A what?" Harry asked.
"A Death Eater," Pamina responded, "they worked for You-Know-Who. But don't be mad, please. I'm so angry and annoyed and scared and I didn't know. The reason he's not in Azkaban is because he gave the names of other Death Eaters."
"So he's a traitor too," Harry sneered.
"Yeah, I know, right." Pamina answered. "So well basically in this picture my dad never was a Death Eater and he fought the Death Eaters and was a good guy."
"How do you know he was bad, maybe he thought he was fighting for the good side." Harry replied.
"Nothing You-Know-Who did was ever good." Pamina retorted.
They talked for a while, and then got tired. Pamina turned into Professor McGonagall and left the room. She walked back to Hufflepuff Tower before anyone even noticed she was gone.

The next day at breakfast Hannah turned to Pamina.
"Where were you last night? I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep and you weren't in your bed for like half an hour. And then when I woke up you were there."
"Oh, I was in the bathroom," Pamina lied.
"For half an hour?" Hannah asked, unconvinced.
"I had, er, stomach problems," Pamina lied again.
"Whatever," Hannah rolled her eyes.
Maybe convincing her friends would be harder than she thought.
