Chapter 18: Attack In the Great Hall
Morrigan was personally glad when Valentines Day ended. She was getting so sick and tired of hearing the giggling of girls as they lost whatever sense they had. Now it was time to focus on something else that was pointless, at least to Morrigan and Hermione, Quidditch. The first form match was taking place, form two against form seven.
"The whole thing is pointless," Pansy said, "What is the point in seeing two groups play a game when it use to be one house against the other."
"Because it's fair," Morrigan told her. "And fairness is what makes the world go round."
"I thought that money made the world go around," Tracy said.
"Fairness."
"Well are we going to watch practice or not."
"I've got an order to send out," Morrigan told her, "But I will try to come and watch."
Pansy rolled her eyes and said, "Sometimes you act like a muggle."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Morrigan said and she hurried off.
Sending the request off, she felt that she was now ready to really try and learn to become an Animagi. She knew that it would be hard work but she was willing to do what it took to do just that. She then hurried out of the Owlery and out of sight.

"So how are things going with your form so far, Remus?" Dumbledore asked.
"They are still going by what house they were sorted into," Lupin said, "I don't like it."
"I know what you mean, but they're going to have to get over it," Dumbledore told him, "Life is not fair! Time for them to understand that."
"I agree with you on that, but tell that to them."
"Do you want me to have a talk with them?" Snape asked.
"No, I don't think so," Lupin said, "I agree with Albus that their going to have to get over it."
"I agree as well, but sometimes telling them isn't enough."
"What do you suggest, Severus?"
"I don't know," Snape said, "But give me a couple of days and I'll come up with an idea."
"Let's hope your idea works," Dumbledore said.
Snape grinned at him and said, "Of course my idea will work."

"So looking forward to staying with McGonagall over the summer?" Tracy asked Morrigan.
"I sure am," Morrigan said, "I'm glad that she doesn't care that I happen to be in Slytherin."
"Like she would care," Tracy said. "She likes you, Morg, you know that."
"I know, but-."
"Look, Morg, you really need to work on your self confidence," Tracy told her, "When you do then you won't allow something as stupid as what those damn muggles did get to you. It's going to take time, but you'll be able to do it."
"Thanks," I said and we headed to our next class.
Over the next couple of days Morrigan focused on getting ready for the exams. Even though they were weeks to a couple of months away, she wanted to get a head start on them. She wasn't the only one. Hermione was also working on the notes that she had written, both of them hoping that what they had learned would be enough. On Saturday they were busy reading over the ingredients to a Forgetfulness Potion.
Morrigan had a funny feeling that he was going to cover it.
"So has Ron Weasley been giving you problems?" Morrigan asked Hermione as they packed things away.
"He keeps on glaring at me, but that's all," she said.
"If he tries anything, let me know."
"I will," Hermione promised and they parted ways.
The next day, during breakfast, an owl dropped off a package at the Slytherin table. Taking it, she unwrapped it, and saw that it was the book that she had ordered. She was so going to thank Tracy for keeping that catalog for her. She quickly finished eating and hurried back to her common room. She couldn't wait to read it.

"I know that girl is up to something," Snape told McGonagall.
They both watched Morrigan leaving and that's when he turned to her.
"It's just a book," she said.
Snape gave her a look and then said, "I'm going to be watching her. I'll soon find out if it's 'just a book.'"
"If it makes you feel better," McGonagall said.
Snape said nothing.

Morrigan knew that Snape would find out about the book in good time, but not before she mastered the transformation. When the other girls went to bed she read one chapter that night and then hid it. She always made sure that she had it hidden where she wouldn't need any spells. Thankfully Snape didn't find the book. As exams got closer she managed to change her arm into a wing. Three weeks later, and several attempts, she hid the book, again, and changed for the first time in a fully formed raven.
She had done it! She had done something that older students were able to sometimes do, become an animal. She took off, and vanished from sight.

Snape was suddenly awoken to an alarm going off. He had placed it in the girl's dorm so that he would know if Potter was vanishing. It was all part of trying to find out what Potter was doing. He quickly dressed and ran to the common room. When he entered he ran up to the girl's dorm and opened the door. He checked Potter's bed and found that she was gone.
"Where are you at, Potter?" Snape asked and he left the room.
The next day he saw Potter setting at the Slytherin table. She looked tired, but in high spirits. Snape glared at her but she paid him no mind. He needed to find out what had happened to her and the only way to do that was to use a truth potion on her. He really hated having to use one on his own snake, but he had no choice in the matter. Suddenly three students were blasted off their feet and landed in a pile.
Everyone screamed and then Quirrell appeared. He had his wand out and then he turned and started walking backwards. Staring at him was the face of Voldemort. Snape saw Dumbledore at once at his feet, his wand out.
"What are you doing back here, Tom?" Dumbledore asked.
"Don't call me that name, old man," he hissed, "I'm here to take Potter and there's nothing that you can do to stop me."
"Take her, no one wants her around," Ron Weasley said.
Miss Granger punched him. Good, he needed that.
"You're not talking anyone anywhere," Dumbledore told him. "Now leave before you find out why I won my duel with Grindelwald."
Voldemort laughed and then suddenly a series of spells were shot at him. He was hit with several of them and fall to the floor. Standing there, with her wand out, was Morrigan.

The man that had murdered my parents was trying to kill me. I really wanted to punch Ron Weasley for even saying what he said. I know that students don't like those in Slytherin house, but really. I blasted him with spell after spell, several of them hitting him. He fell to the ground, not moving.
"Miss Snape, get out of here," I heard Snape ordering.
I didn't have to be told twice, I bolted.
Hours later Pansy told me that Dumbledore had managed to drive the Dark Lord away, which she looked upset about. Tracy snapped and told her that the Dark Lord had been after Morrigan and that if she was really Morrigan's friend, that she would be worried.
"He's not going to come back, will he?" Morrigan asked them.
"I hope not," Tracy said, "Snape was really cool. He fired spell after spell at him and Voldemort couldn't move which way to next."
"Good," Morrigan said and then she went up to bed.
The exams started a couple of days later. The only one that they didn't have was Defense, which Morrigan complained about. Each one, minus History, had a practical and a written. Morrigan did very well in both, at least that's what she thought.
"The History one was really enjoyable," Hermione said.
"Speak for yourself," Tracy said, groaning.
"I agree, I really enjoyed them," Morrigan said.
"You two, are nuts!" Tracy said and Morrigan and Hermione laughed.

A/N: The next chapter will be the last one. I will do a sequel to this story but it will have to wait until I do the story, Harry and Hermione's third year.
