The Bathroom and Criminals
When I woke up I hopped over to Ash's bed, he and Pikachu were sound asleep.
"Ash." I whispered, nudging his shoulder. "I don wanna cuft my ....hair....." he mumbled. My eyebrows raised a tad bit, he must be dreaming about the time when his hair was long and mom wanted him to cut it. It took weeks to get him to actually do it.
"Wake up!" Ash opened his eyes, and relaxed when he saw it was me. "What?"
"I've been thinking. You know how Madams Pomfrey can mend bones in a second? Why hasn't she mended my ankle yet? I mean she mended your ribs and Harry's arm. " I explained, taking a seat on Ash's bed side. His eyes widened.
"That is weird..." He snapped his head back in alarm,"The dreams!! You said to kept on having them,and they were true. Harry's imprisoning and someone being petrified!" Wow.
"Maybe Dumbledore wants to see why your having them."
There was a long silence. Pikachu woke up and watched what we were doing,but realizing we were in the middle of a mini staring contest he joined in,taking me down. "You always win!!" I complained,pouting."what's the score?"
"Pikachu:56 Sister:28." Ash replied,using his fingers to count. DANG IT!!!!
"I'll win next time." Pikachu only stuck his tongue out.
"We've been doing this for years. Do you think I'm really going to give up!?"
"..Pika..."
"Oh it's on!!!Same time same place next week!!!"
Something shifted next to me,oh,Harry was awake. The second he said Good Morning Madame Pomfrey barged into the room with some medicine for each of us.
"Hi Madame Po-BLECH!!" Ash stuck his tongue out after Madame Pomfrey stuck a spoon full of medicine in his mouth.
"Haha." I said,"I bet that taste-UGH!!" A spoon was jabbed into my mouth,the taste of metal filled up inside and forced it's way down my throat. "Bad!!"
Harry was about to comment but guess what Madame Pomfrey did. When the taste of metal left my mouth Madame Pomfrey was babbling on about how Ash and Harry could leave today. "But you young lady have to stay here." She said sternly,shaking a finger towards me.
"Why?! Can't you mend my ankle and let me-YUCK!!!" She jabbed another spoon of medicine down my throat. Probably to shut me up.
"There is a reason why your to stay here. But you can leave with these two for breakfast." Reluctantly I hopped off of Ash's bed,waited for them to change,and left with the two.
"Bet that didn't taste good huh Alice?" Harry joked, he and Ash taking a left turn instead of a right. "Uh..,Harry...Ash.,,I'm no expert in directions. But I get the feeling we're not heading to the Hall." I pointed out,clumsily hopping on one foot along with using Ash for support.
Then Percy Weasley strolled down the hall as we passed the Library,his face showed high spirits.
"Oh hello Harry,Ash,Alice,"Percy greeted,"Excellent flying yesterday you two,really excellent. Gryffindor has taken the league of the House Cup-You two earned 25 points each,making us earn 50 points." That's great!!
"You haven't seen Ron and Hermione have you? Harry asked,ignoring what Percy was talking about. Immediately Percy's smile faded,"No...I haven't.....but he better not be in another girl's bathroom again." Girl's bathroom?
What's he talking about?
Harry and Ash both put on forced laughs,I stayed quiet,since I had no idea what they're talking about. We all watched Percy leave,when he was out of sight Harry grabbed my arm and headed straight to a girl's bathroom. Inside the voices of Hermione and Ron echoed from one stall. What the heck are they doing?
"It's me,with Ash and Alice. Pikachu too."
There was a clunk,a splash,and a gasp,and Hermione's eye peered through the keyhole. "Harry!Ash!Alice! You gave us such a fright-come in-how's your arm,rib,and ankle?"
"Eh I've felt worse." I commented as all three of us squeezed through the somewhat small stall. Absol rushed over and started licking me. Sitting on the toilet was a cauldron , and a crackling from under the rim was obviously a fire underneath it. "Why are we in a girl's bathroom? Or better yet why are These THREE BOYS here?!"
"We'd've come to meet you three,but decided it was best to get started on the Polyjuice Potion." Ron explained,pink faced for being in a girl's room. Harry took a long time to lock the stall door in case anyone came." We decided this is the safest place to hide it."
Ash and Harry started to tell them about Colin,but Hermione interrupted.
"We already know - we heard Professor McGonagall telling professor Flitwick this morning. That's why we decided we better get going-"
"The sooner we get a confession out of Malfoy the better." Ron growled. I patted him on the back,"Calm down Ron. We will."
"D'you know what I think? He was in such a foul mood after the Quidditch match he took it out on Colin." Ron scowled,ignoring my last comment.
"But there's something else." Ash spoke." Dobby came to visit Harry last night."
Ron and Hermione looked up from the cauldron, Hermione dropped the Knotgrass she had in her hands. In turns all three of us explained exactly what happened, when we finished both of their mouths were open.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" Hermione asked with trembling hands. I nodded my head in agreement.
"That settles it,"Ron said triumphantly."Luscius Malfoy must've opened the Chamber Of Secrets when he was at school here and he's told dear old Draco how to do it. It's obvious. Wish Dobby'd told you what kind of monster was in there,though. I want to know how nobody's noticed it sneaking around the school."
"Maybe it can make itself invisible." Ash suggested,hand on chin. Hermione,who was prodding leeches into the cauldron,nodded her head in agreement,
"Or maybe it can disguise itself - pretend to be a suit of armor or something- I've read about Chameleon Ghouls-"
"You read way too much Hermione." Said Ron,pouring dead Lacewings on top of the Leeches. He crumpled up the empty lacewing bag and looked at Harry,Ash, and me.
"So Dobby stopped us from coming onto the train,broke your arm and your ribs?" He paused,"You know what? If Dobby doesn't stop trying to save your life he's going to kill you."
"We told you the Bludger that hit Ash wasn't controlled by Dobby."I replied,annoyed he didn't listen,"And when I had that dream I didn't see anyone or anything moving. Not like how Peeves does his pranks. But I do remember seeing something in the mirror,it was like two glowing eyes."

The second week of December came by fast. I'm still under imprisonment by who I believe is Dumbledore. Though he said I might be able to leave when the students leave home for the holidays,so I'm itching to get that freedom.
Harry,Ron,Hermione,Ash,and I all signed up to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. And We heard Draco was staying,of course we all got suspicious. Probably settling for another attack.but the Holidays is the perfect time to use the Polyjuice Potion.
Unfortunately the Potion is only half finished. We still had to get get a Bicorn horn and Boomslang skin which unfortunately is in Snape's Potions drawer in his office.
"What we need is a diversion,"Hermione said briskly, they were visiting me on a Thursday afternoon. Hermione also dropped off my homework so far. "Then one of us can sneak in and get what we need."
All of us looked at each other nervously. Even though I'm not going to be there I'm still worried for the boys,Hermione will be fine but the BOYS?! That's a whole different story.
"I think Hermione should do the stealing,"I stated,"All three of you have Criminal records. And Criminals have no respect."
"Besides you'll get expelled,Alice's right. I have a clean record, so all you need to do is cause enough mayhem to keep Snape busy for five minutes or so."
Ash shifted nervously, I know. Getting on Snape's bad side is like poking a Raqueza in it's sleep. Not fun.
Time skip Ash's P.O.V
Potions lesson was in one of the large dungeons today. It was the usual deal,Snape was getting onto Neville and Harry was trying hard to work on his potions.
Pikachu and I were in the middle of the Swelling Potion when one of George's Filibuster's fireworks zoomed past my ear. Both of us were winded for a second. The firework zoomed straight at Goyle's cauldron full of Swelling Potion.
This weird feeling clawed at my throat, telling me to hide. Without anyone noticing Pikachu and I slid under the desk,listening to students shriek in alarm. Giant splashes of water hit near where I was sitting,THAT WAS CLOSE!!
"Silence! SILENCE!" Snape roared, I popped back onto my seat ,"Anyone who has been splashed come here for a Deflating Drought- when I found out who did this-"
Draco stood up and hurried over to get some of the potion, Pikachu snickered at the sight. His head was the size of a melon!!! There must be a lot of air lingering inside that skull.
After everyone drank the potions and the swellings disappeared Snape swept over to Goyle's cauldron and found the fireworks. There was a sudden hush.
"If I ever find out who threw this,"Snape whispered,"I shall make sure that person is expelled."
He stared at Harry,then the bell rang. I quickly grabbed my book Bag and rushed over to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom with Pikachu perched on my head.
"He knew it was me." Harry told us ." I could tell."
Hermione threw the new found ingredients into the cauldren. "It'll be ready in two weeks." She reassured,feverishly stirring the contents with a iron spoon,
"That's great!" I spoke,"And I don't think Snape will find out."
"Knowing Snape he can." Harry mumbled.

"They're starting a Dueling Club tomorrow!" I exclaimed to Alice,who was sitting on her bed with crossed legs. She wanted to try to draw what the outside looked like from my p.o.v , but listened as she brought the point of the quill over the smooth surface of the parchment.
"Really!?" She asked,not bothering to look up from the drawing. I nodded my head.
"Some people think Snape will be teaching,but I think it'll be either McGonagall or Dumbledore. Who better to teach us than the headmaster and one day headmistress?" Alice chuckled,"Well I'm glad you get to go."
"I talked to Madame Pomfrey,she said it's okay to let you come and watch. But only watch."
That caught Alice's attentions,because she immediately looked up from her drawing and stared her clouded eyes into my own. "Really?!"
"Yes!!"
"Alright!! I've been wanting to get back to classes forever!!!" She exclaimed,enthusiastically grazing the tip of the quill on the bottom of the paper. "This will be a great chance,because time has been slowing down lately and it feels like years since I have." Pikachu was on Alice's shoulder,looking over the drawing. Alice lifted the drawing so he could see it.
"What d'you think?" She asked,Pikachu gave a thumbs up. Then she turned the parchment to me, showing the picture:
It showed a snowy landscape. Every tree had a snowball stuck on the tip of it's branches to make it look like ornaments were hanging on the very edge. Small specks of light were scattered across the land,each of them gently touched the ground that was becoming fluffy white powder. On the edge of a hill nearby,a castle illuminated proudly behind a cloak of darkness.
"This is just how I would imagine it!!" I exclaimed,amazed. Alice flushed,then we started a conversation on pokemon battles.

Alice's P.O.V
We all walked into the Dining Hall where only one long table stood. Students surrounded it,all chatting and someone was making a paper crane fly around,others helped guide it.
"I hope McGonagall teaches us." I mused, then everyone fell silent.
You know who I saw?
The most loved man to girls like Hermione.
Gilderoy Lockhart.
