"Everything's set. We just need a bit of who you're changing into." Hermione said, "We also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can't burst in on us while we're interrogating Malfoy." "How?" Ron asked, "I've got it all worked out. I filled these with a simple Sleeping Draught."

"Simple, but powerful."

"Now, once they're asleep...hide them in the broomstick cupboard and pull out a few of their hairs and put on their uniforms." Hermione finished, "Whose hair are you two ripping out, then?" Ron asked, "i've got mine, Mattheo helped." Astrix responded, "I've already got mine, Millicent Bulstrode. Slytherin. I got this off her robes." Hermione responded, "ew, mattheo? him? really?" Harry asked, "yeah, he knows about the plan, thinks its brilliant." Astrix responded.

"I'm going to go check on the Polyjuice Potion. Make sure that Crabbe and Goyle find these." Hermione handed them two cupcakes.

"We'll have exactly one hour before we change back into ourselves. Add the hairs." "Essence of Crabbe." "Cheers Moony.." "Cheers Prongs." The four drank the polyjuice. "I think I'm gonna be sick." Ron ran towards a stall, "Me too." hermione follows ron. "this is the most disgust i've felt within my 12 years of life." Astrix started looking at her hands, "Prongs?" She asked, "Moony..?" Harry responded. "Ron!" Harry said, "Bloody hell! We still sound like ourselves." Ron said "You need to sound more like Crabbe."

"Bloody hell." he started to sound like crabbe. "Excellent." Harry responded "But where's Hermione?" Ron asked, "Mione, you good?" Astrix asked, "I... I don't think I'm going. You go on without me." Hermione responded, "Hermione, are you okay?" harry asked, "Just go. You're wasting time." Hermione demanded.

"Come on, I think the Slytherin common room's this way." Harry said, "Excuse me." Percy said, "what are you doing down here?" Astrix asked, sounding perfectly like Mattheo. "I happen to be a school Prefect You, on the other hand, have no business wandering the corridors at night." Percy responded "What are your names again?" he asked, "I'm-Crabbe, Goyle, where have you been?" Malfoy cut Harry off, "hello, riddle." Malfoy said "Pigging out in the Great Hall all this time?" Maldoy asked, "Why are you wearing glasses?" Malfoy asked again, "Reading." Harry responded, "Reading? I didn't know you could read. And what are you doing down here, Weasley?" "Mind your attitude, Malfoy."

"Well, sit down, You'd never know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, the way they behave. They're an embarrassment to the wizarding world. All of them." Ron walked foward to his feet. Astrix stopping him "What's wrong with you, Crabbe?" Malfoy asked, "Stomachache." Theodore appeared out of nowhere, "Mattheo? i thought you were in you're dorm." Astrix pulled him aside, somewhere towards where all the books were.

"listen, im not mattheo, not really? not in my actual state." Astrix responded "wait what?" Theodore asked, "im Astrix, mattheo gave me a strain of hair to use the polyjuice potion with. im sneaking in trying to find out about the chamber." Astrix responded, "oh! thats what Mattheo was going on about- did you give him anything in return?" Enzo asked, "yeah, a kiss on the cheek." Astrix responded "ooo~" Theo said, nudging you, "hair.." Enzo pointed out. "okay, i got to go now, bye!"

"Hey! Where are you going?" Draco said, Harry and Ron ran out with Astrix. "Hermione, come out, We've got loads to tell you." Harry said, "Go away." Hemione said, "Wait till you see. It's awful." Moaning Myrtle came out of nowhere. "Mione? Are you okay?" Astrix asked, slowly opening the door, "Do you remember me telling you... that the Polyjuice Potion was only for human transformations?" Hermione looked up. "OH WHAT THE FUC-" Harry jumped back in surprise. (i feel like harry would be like this if he was around moony more) "It was cat hair I plucked off Millicent Bulstrode's robes. Look at my face." Hermione said, "Look at your tail." Astrix responded.

THE NEXT DAY
Febuary 23, 1992

"Have you spoken to Hermione?" Ron asked, "She should be out of hospital in a few days, when she stops coughing up fur balls." Astrix responded. They see water on the floor, "What's this?" Harry asked, They start following it. "Looks like Moaning Myrtle's flooded the bathroom." Harry and Ron enter Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She's sitting in a window and whimpering.

"Come to throw something else at me?" she asked, "Why would we throw something at you?" Harry asked "Don't ask me. Here I am, minding my own business, when someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me." Mytrle responded, "But it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it'd just go right through you" Ron said

"SURE!" myrtle flies right into his face "Let's all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it! Ten points if it goes through her stomach!" She puts her arm through Ron's stomach "Fifty points if it goes through her head!" puts her arm through Ron's head "But who threw it at you anyway?" Astrix asked, "I don't know. I didn't see them. I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death, and it fell through the top of my head." Myrtle flies off crying. Astrix steps forward and picks up a random book.

Later, Harry and Astrix is examining the diary while seated at a table in the Gryffindor Common Room. All the pages are blank. He looks at the back and sees a name printed there. "Tom Marvolo Riddle." Harry said, Astrix dips her quill in ink and lets a drop of it fall on the diary. The ink vanishes into the page. Astrix then writes a message in the diary. "our names are Astrix Lupin and Harry Potter."

The message fades out, and a new message fades in.

"Hello, Harry Potter, Astrix Lupin. my name is Tom Riddle." Harry is stunned. He takes Astrixs quill and writes a second message. "Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell us?"

"No." Frustrated, Harry puts Astrix's quill aside.

"But I can show you. Let me take you back fifty years ago."

The diary flips to a page on which the text "13th June" appears. The pages then begin to glow, enveloping the pair and making them disappear into the diary.
