Meeting With Professor Snape

On her way to his office, Lisa bumped directly into Professor Snape.

"Excuse me, Professor Snape." Lisa said.

"Yes, Miss Atwood," Snape said, turning around. "what is it?"

"Professor," Lisa said. "Dumbledore would like to know if your missing ingredients for a batch of polyjuice potion?"

"Could you check please?" Lisa asked.

Snape looked a little offended that his word didn't seem to be enough but he agreed anyway, a few seconds and a short walk later, they were standing in front of the potion supplies.

Lisa waiting patiently as Snape checked his ingredients, when he look up at Lisa a few seconds later, his normal neutral expression was replaced by genuine surprise, an expression not seen on his face since the first time he heard Harry speak parcel tongue.

"They're gone," Snape said. "you and Dumbledore were right, Miss Atwood, I'm missing a full set of polyjuice potion ingredients!"

"And I know who swiped them from your cupboard, Professor," Lisa said. "Barty Crouch Junior! He is useing polyjuice potion to keep disguised as Professor Moody! I think he's also got the real Professor Moody hidden somewhere near him! That way, he can keep up his charade."

"Miss Atwood," Snape said. "if you are right, you can you Polyfluis Reverso to undo polyjuice potion and any other magical concealment that he might be using."

"Thanks, Professor." Lisa said, she turned to go.

"But," Snape said. "that is only if you encounter him on the way back to your common room, do not go looking for him, let the faculty handle this!"

Lisa nodded and hurried out the door, her thoughts were racing as fast as her heart rate.

I can't just sit in the common room and do nothing, the faculty couldn't prevent him from sneaking in here in the first place so who's to say he couldn't get away from them a second time, but on the other hand, they probably can handle one death eater now that they know about him! she thought to herself as she went.

Lisa was still debating with herself as she walked down the hall away from Snape's classroom. Suddenly, as she stepped out onto the main floor and headed for the staircase, the whole castle was rocked by a massive explosion that seemed to come from the direction of the Hufflepuff common room.

Lisa took off running toward the commotion when she got within sight of the Hufflepuff entrance her heart sank.

Smoke was billowing out of the entrance and an unconscious and badly injured Michael was being carried out on a stretcher.

"Somebody used an exploding magic fireball as a booby trap," a near tears KC explained as Lisa came to her and wrapped her in a hug. "Michael threw himself on it and saved me and everyone else in the common room! you need to call his father, Doctor Nathan Bennett, he's the one who designed Michael's bionics!"

Lisa nodded as her face flushed red with anger.

"That's it," Lisa growled under her breath. "Barty Crouch, I'm coming after you!"

When she got outside on the school's grounds, Lisa saw the most horrendous sight she had ever seen in her life.

Harry was clutching Cedric's dead body, not wanting to let go.

Until Dumbledore finally pulled Harry away.
