Chapter: 8 The Prank

(Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time- Panic! At The disco)

Sophia's pov

I looked outside and the snow was coming down, and hard. I love snow so much. I always played in it with Remus. " Okay, so we get Hermione and bring her to the back room, grab a piece of her hair and put it in the potion?" I asked" Yup." They both agreed. " Who's going to get Hermione?" Max asked. Me and Emily looked right at him. " Why me?" " There scared of me and they don't like Soph." " Fine." Max walked up to the golden trio and brought Hermione with him. " Great!" " What the hell am I doing here?" I plucked one of her hairs. " Ow what the hell." " Oh shut it Granger." Emily said. She is the badass I espier to be. " Who's going to be-" I stopped myself and eyed Hermione. " Your not going to be me, are you?" " Wow, you aren't as dumb as I thought you were." I said with a smirk. I put her hair in the potion and swirled it around. I looked up at everyone and they gave me a look as if I should take it, so I did. It tasted like absolute shit. I spit it out as soon as it hit my tongue. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. As I looked up I saw something strange. I was Hermione, but how?

I walked out of the bathroom and gave Emily a look. " Wow you look just like her." Max said pointing at Hermione. " Yeah, you really do." Emily finished. " Well do you have the truth serum?" Em took it out of her pocket and shook it. I grabbed it from her hand and started off to the table were they were at. " Hey Hermione." Ron said. " Hermi- oh yeah hi Ron." " Why did you change?" Harry asked. " Oh I spilled a bit of butterbeer on it. Would you like some, I can order some more." They shook there head. I walked up to the front counter and asked for three butterbeers. I put truth serum in two of them leaving one for me. As I placed the goblets on the table and they both took one. " Well go on try it." "Bloody hell Hermione we have already had it." Ron stated. " Many times." Harry added. " I know... you just look parched." They took a sip of it and there eyes started to twinkle.

" How do you feel?" " Not good knowing Sirius is on the lose." Harry stated. Why does he have to always bring up my father. " I'm doing bloody fine." Ron said downing a pasty. " Ronald can you stop eating." He does eat a lot. Every time I see him he is always shoving something in his mouth. " Harry do you know anything about Sirius Black?" " Well of course I told you already." but what Ron said next made my heart drop. " Sirius is Harrys godfather. He also is the reason his parents are dead." With that I felt as if I was empty inside. How could my father be the reason Lily and James Potter are... Dead. I shot up from my chair and ran to the back room. I felt a tear trickle down. Then another one, until my whole face was flooded with tears. 

Emily's pov

Soph went out looking exactly like Hermione. After she left me and Max stayed back. Hermione wouldn't stop bickering. " JUST SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!" I shouted a Her. She looked startled. " How do you think it's going with Sophia?" Max asked. " Well I don't know, just ask her when she gets back."  Me and Max started to get to know each other and Hermione wouldn't stop winning like a baby, so I put tape over her mouth. After that I felt so much better, I didn't have to hear her annoying ass mouth. It wasn't long before Sophia came running back, but he didn't look the same. She still looked like Hermione, but with tears all over her face. I've never seen her cry and to be honest it hurts. She looks so broken. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. I ran over to her and sat down next to her. I'm not good at comforting people, but when it comes to my friends I try my best. I think the reason I can't comfort people is because i have never had someone comfort me. 

I know that sounds bad but I'm use to it by now. I mean with you father being the darkest wizard in the world and never knowing your mom it just seems right. My father passed or so I believe in 1981, and the person who did it was "The Famous Harry Potter". I hate him for that. I know my father was a bad person but to not have any family its hard. That's one thing I have in common with Harry. But he still had family. He has an uncle, aunt, and cousin. I have no one. I have had to live with Snape my whole life. That helped me with my potions. That was the only plus of not having a actual family.

" Hey Soph what's wrong?" " My- my father he-he's the reason H-Harry's parents are dead." She said swallowing her tears. I could tell it hurt her so I just stayed there hugging her. Max was just standing there looking at me then Hermione then Soph. " Well Max don't just stand there, Go get Draco!" He let go of Hermione and ran out of the door. After he let go of the muggle-born she ran back to the boys and pored something in there mouth. It made them stopped blabbering. I can't believe Sirius Black helped my Father. But why would he, Snape always told me that Sirius and James were the best of friends. Something isn't adding up and I need to figure it out. Sophia was still crying in my arms. Then my thought's were interrupted by the door swinging open.

Draco's pov

I was sitting in the common room when I heard a knock on the door. I ignored it but I kept hearing it. I got up and walked over to the door. " What do you want?" I said as I opened the door, I looked down and saw the Ravenclaw that Sophia hangs out with. He was out of breath, like he just had ran a marathon. " Sophi-Sophia she-she needs you." With that I sprinted down the hall. Not knowing what she needs or where she is. " DRACO, DRACO!" Max shouted I didn't want to turn around but I did. " Draco she's at The Three Broomsticks." I turned around and ran and ran and I didn't stop.
