The night of the ball was here. Harriet was wearing an outrageous priced dress in dark emerald colours and her father give her some outrageous ancient artefacts to wear for jewellery.
She was wearing her class goblin made slippers too.
If she was to suffer tonight she was going to do it Cinderella stile. She decided.
It also added something romantic to her fantasy and after Cedric last year she had missed a bit of romance in her life.
"We announce the Ancient And Noble House Of Slytherin. Lord Slytherin escorts his Daughter Heiress Slytherin."
The walked in father and daughter taking the attention of everyone around them.
Her dad was leaving women dazzled in his path and men were looking admiration clear in their faces.
Every woman wanted him and every man wanted to be him.
If Harriet didn't know her dad didn't find any woman interesting she was going to be a bit worried.
But she had decided years ago that her dad might be asexual and she preferred to keep thinking him that way.
She looked around at the hordes of pure blood traditionalists that were looking like they were about to fall and kiss her dads feet.
Disgusting slimy people, she thought, as another one of them kissed her hand.
She kept her anger in control and she kept playing the pretty porcelain doll. Smiling softly and making her eyes look doe like and her emerald green irises were cutting their breath away.
She was also following orders from Hermione.
Keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open. Don't fuck this one Riddle. There isn't second chance. Keep smiling and nodding your head. Whatever they say,you aren't there to speak you are there to collect information. People think you are clueless
when you put your angel face on and they let things to slide. We need this information. And you need to make sure you going to get as many invitations possible for the summer season. I don't care if there is a war going around. We will attend as many
social gatherings as possible. We need the information Harriet. Our blackmail material is low.
She needed to tell them about Rita and that now they could have as much blackmail material they wanted but that could bring questions.
Harriet had decided to keep her knowledge about the prophecy to herself along with Rita.
She felt it would not only put them in danger but also she needed to keep something to herself.
She wasn't fair and she was going to pay for it when the time came but she didn't care.
She saw the Malfoy's from afar and she did her best not to jump in relief. At least Drago could save her.
Only Drago wasn't there. His grandmother Anastasia had requested his presence in Paris for New Year's Eve and he had left this afternoon.
She was going to kill him. Yes she was going to kill him slowly. Now she had no one to keep her away from trouble.
Her boredom had reached it's peak and she started getting restless. If she didn't get out of here soon she could cause a scene. Again.
She turned around and excused herself to a trip to the loo. Her dad must have felt she was ready to start insulting people so he just left her escape with the promise she was going to be back soon.
She was coming out of the loo when she noticed the corridors were empty.
Not even a soul around. A small spark of mischievous nature woke in her.
She was in the ministry, everyone seemed to have fun at the party and no one was following her, she turned and walked back to the toilet with a new plan.
She locked herself in a cubicle and she transformed in her animagus form. Then as a small black fox she continued her way to the department of mysteries.
She passed the dark black hallway she had seen Mister Weasly getting attacked last week and she kept going.
She thought again how stupid Dumbeldore was. Leave the prophecy unprotected the only night that the ministry was filled with various amounts of people.
It only took her twenty minutes to find and take her prophecy and she was back to her way to find another place to change back to herself.
She was just about to enter a storage room when voices took her attention.
"Someone could hung this girl upside down. I'm not a child minder you know. I'm tired following her around."
She had heard that voice somewhere before.
"No one forced you. You offered to look after her. Didn't you?"
Another male voice said. This voice sounded even more familiar. She was turning her head upside down to find from where she knew this voices.
"How long ago you said you lost her?" The second voice said again. She noticed she could hear them a bit clearer now. They must be coming her way.
"Our Lord said she was in the ladies room. By the time I was there she had disappeared. You need to help me find her. It's been more than half hour she is gone." The first voice sounded upset.
"This girl brings trouble even when she is sitting quietly in a corner. We better find her before Bellatrix has your head dear brother mine. You did lost her idols daughter."
Was that Rodolfus and Rabastan? That is why she found the voices familiar.
Wait a minute. She thought. Was her dad had her followed? She couldn't put him bellow him to do it. She couldn't have asked for better bodyguard if she wanted one. And at least Rabastan wasn't such a bitch like Bella and that empty headed little shit
she was calling her husband. The man was formidable. And Harriet had learned he could prank almost as good as the twins. So instead of having a go at her dad and losing her cool she decided to make Robastan regret following a girl in the loo.

"Rodolfus! Thanks Morgana I found someone. I have been lost for ages now down here. Can't find my way back."
She had changed back to her human body and she had walked to them making sure to look as lost she could.
Rodolfus give the little trouble maker an even look. "My Little Lady. Let us escort you back. It was indeed a remarkable miracle you just happened to walk to us."
Busted again, Harriet though. She wore her innocent lost expression and to her surprise non of them was eating it.
