"Lets find out, shall we?" I pulled out my compact. "Cissy Malfoy!" I announced.

"Rosa? Draco?!" Cissy asked.

"Relax, we are in a secured, private area. How can we be a part of you if we are the same age?" I asked.

"You two arent. Rosa is a year older than Draco. Dumbles changed your birth year making you younger and even harder to find." Cissy scowled.

"Wait, so I'm 19 then?! The time turner i used at 13 aged me by 2 years. How am I allowed to still be in school?" I demanded.

"Dumbo allowed it? Cause hes the Headmaster? Dont ask me, he has a sick mind." Cissy shook her head.

"Thats obvious." Draco and I replied in unison.

"Cissy, when will he be out of power? I mean is there a way to take him out and not murder him?" I asked cautiously.

"I wish, but the old coot likes everything his way. I just found out hes been feeding you potions to see the Weasley boy as attractive." Cissy growled.

"Dont make me loose my lunch." I protested. "So how much longer must I pretend to be Hermione?"

"Im hoping just a few more weeks. When Dumbo is gone, Thomas thinks the ideal Head will be Severus." Cissy smiled.

"Very nice choice. But how will my father murder the old man? I can whip up a poison." I smirked.

"Severus has already done that. Hes spent the past 15 years getting the old man to trust him. Its finally worked. When we out him as a conniving snake, all those who believed him will be shattered." Cissy shook her head.

What about McGonagall? Does she know the truth?"

Cissy shook her head. "Its a well kept secret, but Minervas the old mans wife."

This caused Draco and me to gasp.

"Who in Merlin would marry him?!" Draco asked looking disgusted.

"Dunno. Shes too afraid to leave him. But she will have to once this scandal gets out. Ill be surprised if the old man wont go to Askaban." Cissy scowled.

The bell rang and we had to say goodbye to our mother.

"Whats the red headed prat doing now?" I huffed when i returned to the common room. Harry was glaring at him in annoyance.

"Complaining that you two arent together. Can you promise never to be alone with Dumbo?" Harry shivered.

"Worried he'll tamper with my memories?"

"Yes! I cant have you leaving me." Harry whispered.

"Relax, I promise I wont. I have too much to loose now." I kissed Harrys cheek.

"Break it up over here!" Ron bellowed.

I glared at him. Silently I conjured small birds to attack him. "Stay away from me, Ronald! You have Lavender cant you be happy for her?!"

I turned on my heel and took Harrys hand in mine. Together we walked to an empty classroom. I put up the protective wards before speaking.

"The Sorting Hat wants me in Slytherin." I sighed.

Harrys eyes bugged out. "No! If you leave Dumby will erase your memory for sure!"
