Chapter 4: The Polyjuice potion
A/N: Hi! As you will be aware in the previous chapter it was Christmas Eve. So I thought that I would have chapter 4 set on Christmas Day and what better way than adding to the story by Ron and Hermione telling their children about a Christmas around 18 years earlier. So here it is!
Ron entered Hugo's bedroom on Christmas night with no book in his hand. He had found the perfect story to tell their children. He and Hermione loved telling Rosie and Hugo about their past as their children gave them their undivided attention, listening in fascination. This was the perfect finish to a perfect Christmas.
Hermione entered the room with Rose and they sat on a beanbag in next to Hugo's bed. On which he and Ron were sat.
"Ok, so are story begins 18 years ago when I was 11 and Mummy was 12. We were both in our second year at Hogwarts and were trying to find the heir of slytherin."
"Daddy, is this about the chamber of secrets?" Rose questioned
"Yes, Rosie it is." He replied
"Now we had no idea how we were going to prove that it wasn't Uncle Harry. Then Mummy came up with a very clever but dangerous plan. We were going to turn into other people." He continued.
Rose and Hugo gasped all though they had heard of the polyjuice potion before they had no idea that that was the plan.
"You see you're very clever, smart, beautiful and intelligent Mother read a book that showed us how to create a polyjuice potion." Hermione blushed a very deep red as she heard Ron say this.
"Apparently the potion would take a month to make and so we brewed it in the second floor girl's bathroom. On Christmas day we would drink it."
"On that Christmas day Mummy created muffins with a sleeping draught inside and we gave them to the people we were going to turn into (Crabbe & Goyle). And your mum decided to turn into Millicent Bull strode."
"Did you take their hairs then Daddy?" Hugo asked
"Yes, we took the hairs from them and drank the potion which tasted disgusting. We then turned into the people and were just about to go to the slytherin common room when your mummy decided not to go. So only I and Uncle Harry went."
"We then walked into Uncle Percy, but he didn't recognise us and so we escaped. We talked to Draco Malfoy in the slytherin common room. It was dark, cold and eerie as it was under a lake. He said that he knew that your Uncle Harry wasn't the heir of Slytherin but he knew who was. We started to change back to ourselves and so headed back to the girls toilets where we met Moaning Myrtle..." Ron stifled a chuckle when Hermione gave him a cold glare.
"Ron? Do you really have to tell them what happened next?" Hermione whined
"Yes."
"But..."
Before she could say anything Ron had moved on, blocking her voice out.
"Moaning Myrtle was laughing and we asked her why. She told us to open the door to a certain toilet and gestured towards it. I opened the door and Mummy turned around. You wouldn't believe what had happened."
"What happened?" The children asked curiously
"Your Mummy had turned into a cat." He said laughing really hard
The two children for it hilarious and even Hermione joined in with the laughter.
"It's not that funny! Ok maybe it is then! I accidentally took the hair from her cat off her school robes not her hair. It wasn't meant to happen!"Hermione said looking extremely embarrassed.
"You should have seen it though you two. She was coughing up fur balls for a week and grew a tail!" Ron said clutching his ribs after laughing so hard.
"Anyway you should be getting to bed. Come on its time for some sleep you two." Hermione said yawning, taking Rose into her bedroom. Ron then put Hugo into his bed.
Around 10 minutes later, Ron met Hermione downstairs and the two snuggled up together. Hermione decided to break the silence a few moments later.
"I have to say Ron; this was the most perfect Christmas I could have had. Thank you."
"I agree, but thank you; you did most of the work and I have really enjoyed it."
"Merry Christmas Ron"
"Merry Christmas Hermione" He said kissing her on the head.
"Ron?"
"Hmmm?"
"I'm not tired yet what should we do?"
"We could sit here for an hour or two or..." He then whispered the other idea into her ear.
She quietly giggled
"Maybe we could do both." She answered
"Sure, whatever you say" Ron replied
They then leaned in and kissed powerfully
This was their best Christmas yet.
A/N: What do you think? I know this was really short but the idea of the polyjuice potion in the chamber of secrets is incredibly short. I will be updating probably tomorrow and adding another story so see ya! Oh by the way I almost forgot PLEASE REVIEW!
