A/N: OOKKKAAYYY!
Once again I am so sorry I have not updated in such a long time. Thursday I got braces and got my results (I got all the grades I needed to get into college and more) my friends then asked me to go to the city with them and I agreed. Meaning I had no time to write.
Friday I had to do the house work and then in the afternoon I was off camping with my parents and boyfriend.
Sat, Sun, Mon: I was camping to had to chance to write or upload.
I have decided to upload once a day and writing really does take up a lot of time. Plus I will be starting college in a weeks time! Ah! So excited!
anyway enough rambiling. I hope you enjoy this chapter my lovelies!
DISCLAIMER! There will be some bits in here taken directly from the books. Anything related to Harry Potter or What you recognise is all owned by the lovely J.K Rowling not me.
Enjoy :)
12th September 1992
We had been at Hogwarts for over a week now and today Harry would be going for Quidditch practice. Unfortunately for him he had to get up at the crack of dawn to go. Me and Ron went to get breakfast, hoping that by the time we were done Harry would be finished and we could go see Hagrid. But as our luck would have it, when we got down to the pitch, Harry hadn't even started yet.
We were sitting on the stands and watching them fly a few laps for five minutes before we saw the Slytherin team stride onto the pitch. Amongst them I saw the familiar head of platinum blonde hair.
I motioned for Ron to follow me down to the pitch.
"Oh look," said Flint the Slytherin captain. "A pitch invasion."
"What's happening?" Ron asked Harry. "Why aren't you playing? And what's he doing here?" He was looking at Draco, taking in his Slytherin Quidditch robes.
"I'm the new Slytherin Seeker, Weasley," said Draco smugly. "Everyone's just been admiring the brooms my father's bought our team."
Ron gaped, open-mouthed, at the seven superb broomsticks in front of him.
"Good, aren't they?" said Draco smoothly. "But perhaps the Gryffindor team will be able to raise some gold and get new brooms too. You could raffle off those Cleansweep Fives, I expect a museum would bit for them,"
The Slytherin team howled with Laughter.
This was it. The moment me and Draco had planned all those weeks ago. The moment he called me a Mudblood. I hope Harry doesn't take it to heart
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in," I said sharply but giving Draco a kind look with my eyes. "They got in on pure talent."
The smug look on Draco's face flickered.
"No one Asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood." he spat.
At once those words got the reaction that we were hoping for. The moment Draco said those lines there was instant uproar. Flint has to dive in front of Draco to stop Fred and George jumping on him, Alica shrieked 'How dare you!' and Ron plunged his hand into his robes, pulled out his wand, yelling 'You'll pay for that one, Malfoy!' and pointed it furiously under flints arm at Draco's face.
A loud bang echoed around the stadium and a jet of green light shot out of the wrong end of Ron's wand, hitting him in the stomach and sending him reeling backwards onto the grass.
"Ron! Ron! Are you all right?" I squealed.
Ron opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Instead he gave and almighty belch and several slugs dribbled out of his mouth onto his lap.
The Slytherin team were paralysed with laughter. Flint was doubled up, hanging on his new brromstick for support. Draco was on all fours, banging on the ground with his fist. The Gryffindors were gathered around Ron, who kept belching large, glistening slugs. Nobody seemed to want to touch him.
"We'd better get him to Hagrid's, its nearest." said Harry to me, I nodded and the both of us pulled Ron up by the arms. We then dragged him off to Hagrids.
After Ron had finally stopped belching slugs, he and Harry were on a rampage about what Draco called me. I tried to act upset and hurt but inside I was laughing at how well they bought it. Now in the summer I have to explain to Harry how it was all a set up. That part of our plan, will not be fun.
25th December 1992
Today is the day that the Polyjuice potion is finished. The day I have to turn into Millecent Bulstrode to sneak into Slytherin common rooms to question my best friend in order to get information that I already know he doesn't have. Ron and Harry are convinced that Draco knows something about the chamber of secrets, but of course they are wrong. Draco told me everything he knew. Its obvious it isn't him. But of course I cannot tell the boys that, as they think Draco hates me, and I him, so I've had to keep my mouth shut and brewed the potion. We were all huddled in one cubical in Moaning Myrtels bathroom ready to chug down our serving of potion.
"Wait, if we all change in here we wont fit. We should move to separate cubicles" I said. The boys nodded and made their way out of the toilet and into a separate one. I drank down the potion and suddenly clamped my hand to my throat. A searing pain began to form in my body and it felt like I couldn't breath. Suddenly the pain stopped. I looked at my arms and screamed.
Instead of skin, my arms were covered in fur, where my hands were supposed to be there were paws and behind me, I had a tail! Polyjuice potion is not meant to be used for animals. I could be stuck like this forever.
"This is unbelievable," said Ron "Unbelievable"
"We'd better get going," said Harry "We've still got to find out where the Slytherin common room is, I only hope we can find someone to follow..."
"You don't know how bizarre it is to see Goyle thinking" I then heard Ron banging on my door.
"C'mon, we need to go..."
My high-pitched voice answered him. "I – I don't think i'm going to come after all. You go on without me."
"Hermione, we know Millicent Bulstrodes ugly, no ones going to know its you."
"No – Really – I don't think i'll come. You two hurry up, you're wasting time."
Silence flowed through the bathroom.
"That looks more like Goyle," Said Ron. "That's how he looks every time a teacher asks him a question."
"Hermione, are you OK?" said Harry through the door.
"Fine – i'm fine … Go on -"
"We'll meet you back here, all right?" he said.
I then heard the door open and the two boys left. Great now I have to wait here till them come back. I sat down on the toilet seat and searched through my book back for my diary to dad.
Hey Dad. Urm would it be possible for you to come to the broken down girls toilets on the second floor corridor? The one with Myrtle in it? I need a little help.
I had to wait about 5 minutes for his reply, and it was only a short one.
Now on my way.
"Mi? Where are you? What's wrong?" my dads voice rang around the room. I got up and slid open the lock to my cubical.
"A potion went wrong.." I said stepping out of the cubical and looking down at my feet.
"What potion were you brewing Hermione?" He had a stern look on his face, the look that he gives all his students that are misbehaving. I didn't want to call out Harry and Ron so I made up a lie, hoping he would buy it.
"Well I wanted to get more advanced at potions. So I tried to brew the Polyjuice potion. I wanted you to be proud of what I am capable of, and how much like you I am, so I did it as a surprise and I didn't tell you. It was me that stole from your supply cupboard by the way. I brewed the potion perfectly. And I decided to try it out by using one of the girls hairs in my dorm. Turns out, they have a cat, and I picked up one of their cats hair. Please don't be mad. I wanted to impress you." I stared into his eyes. He looked at me. I could see a mixture of disapointment and pride flicker across his face.
"You could have asked me about the supplies. But I am proud of you for trying to impress me. But you should know that I am always impressed with what you achieve. How did you come across the potion anyway, and how did you get the book?" He went over to the book Moste Potent Potions and picked it up, flicking through the pages.
"Oh that? That was easy. All I had to do was put a piece of paper in front of Lockharts face and asked him to sign it for me and he did. That man is a complete bimbo." I giggled at that. Dad looked like he was about to laugh to.
"I suppose you would like me to make you the counter potion?" I nodded "Very well. If you come with me then I will have it ready for you."
"Oh no, I can't come with you right now. I have to wait for Harry and Ron. They will most likely come looking for me. Why don't you go and make me the potion and I will come to your office when I can shake them off?" I gave him my smirk that I caught off him and Draco. He sighed. Gave me and hug and then left the bathroom. I then went back into my cubical and waited for the boys to get back. Wondering why dad took the news of me brewing a potion that was so advanced so well.
Please Review! They just make me so so happy :D
