"It's happened again? The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" Hermione asked as she brewed the potion.

"Of course. Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here, and now he's taught Draco how to do it." Ron stated as they were all gathered around a cauldron in an empty girls bathroom.

"Maybe, but we'll have to wait for the Polyjuice potion to know for sure." Hermione said as she held her hand out for the next ingredient, Y/N handed her a phial.

"Enlighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight...in the middle of a girls lavatory? Don't you think we'll get caught?" Ron asked.

"No. No one ever comes in here." Hermione scoffed.

"Why?"

"Moaning Myrtle." Hermione stated bluntly.

"Who?" Ron asked as a ghost of a young Ravenclaw girl with thick round glasses like Harry's and her hair in two pony tails. Y/N looked up at the ghost and realised but reacted like it was a normal sight to see a ghost haunting toilets, he had seen stranger ghosts in films, even a giant Stay Puft marshmallow man, to him she looked like if Harry had made a poor attempt at a Wednesday Addams cosplay.

"Moaning Myrtle." Hermione repeated.

"Who's Moaning Myrtle?"

"I'm Moaning Myrtle." Myrtle yelled before flying past them and hovering above the large pillar made out of taps and sinks. "I wouldn't expect you to know me. Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable, moping Moaning Myrtle?"

Myrtle screamed before flying past them and straight down a toilet.

"She's a little sensitive." Hermione said as Ron raised an eyebrow at her.

"You think?" Ron said.

"Well, you'd be a little sensitive if you died on the bog. Speaking of which, do you reckon Elvis is around here, they'd get on well together." Y/N quipped as Hermione gave him a playful slap around the back of the head.

"Anyway, why can't Y/N just do his...wiggly hands thing?" Ron said as Y/N shook his head at the name while Hermione glared at him.

"Like he said he's no master at it yet, And it would be pretty suspicious if Y/N suddenly asked Cal to focus on mind tricks and then Crabbe and Goyle both mysteriously are hit with something similar to the jedi mind trick. But we're practising that in the meantime." Hermione explained as Y/N looked at her.

Harry and Ron stood up and left, knowing that Y/N and Hermione had this well in hand. When the two boys were out of earshot Y/N looked at Hermione and smile before laughing.

"What?" She asked as Y/N continued laughing, the contagious laughter reaching Hermione who joined him in laughing. "Y/N! What are you laughing at?!"

This is the second time we've been alone in a girls bathroom, if this keeps happening and people find out, they're gonna start getting ideas." Y/N joked as Hermione smiled and swatted him on the arm.

"Don't be so crude."

"Am I wrong?" Y/N said as Hermione broke down laughing with him.

"No. Hehehe. You're not." Hermione said as Y/N stopped laughing and began smiling, looking into her big brown eyes, there was something in them, she seemed...afraid.

"You okay?" Y/N asked as Hermione nodded.

"Yes...Y/N...the other day, in quidditch, when the bludger was going for you...you...you had me scared for a moment." Hermione said as Y/N scoffed and smiled.

"Scared? You. Please. You fought a troll in first year." Y/N said as Hermione shook her head.

"I sat by and watched you and the boys save me." Hermione said, Y/N's mood turned to one of sympathy, seeing Hermione wasn't exaggerating.

"Why where you scared the other day?" Y/N asked as Hermione looked at him.

"It's just that...you're really one of the first friends I've ever had, I was never too popular in muggle school, I was always the bossy up-nosed bookworm. And I'm not really very attractive so there were no boys who fancied me-"

"'Mione-"

"No, Y/N please. You're one of my only friends, and you're the one I've known longest out of the few I have, and the other day in that match, I thought you would be seriously hurt...or worse." Hermione said as Y/N looked at her. He let out a sigh before looking over to her.

"Listen to me very carefully Hermione. Memorise these words like you were studying them for an exam. The disapproval of all those people is praise to you, because that means that when you find someone who loves you, you know they mean it. If they don't love you as you are, then they don't deserve you, and they definitely don't deserve you changing for them." Y/N said as he looked her in the eyes. "And anyway, I don't think you look too bad."

"Please, Y/N. Have you seen my front teeth?"

"Yes, and? Freddie Mercury had worse teeth and look at how many people threw themselves at him." Y/N said as Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Too soon. And he had AIDS, what are you trying to say?" Hermione said as Y/N gulped and went red in the face before Hermione chuckled. "I get what you meant, relax."

Y/N checked his watch.

"I should get going, Master Kestis will be expecting me soon." Y/N said as Hermione nodded and smiled.

"Of course. And Y/N...thank you, for saying what you did." Hermione said as Y/N nodded.

"Sure. See you later Mione." Y/N said as he left, the door closed and Hermione smiled to herself.

'Mione, I don't mind it.' She thought to herself as she finished the days work on the potion before leaving and heading to the library to study...
