The trio was now sat in the bathroom as Hermione was brewing the Polyjuice potion "Again? You mean, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" Hermione askes adding in more ingredients. "Of course. Don't you see? Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here, and now he's taught Draco to do it." Ron says still sticking to his Malfoy theory.

"Nah it can't be Malfoy, he's not special enough." Sirius smirks. He knows it's not the Malfoys as Lucius was in school around about the same time as him, just a few years older. The man never heard of the chamber being opened in his years of attending the school.

"Maybe. We'll have to wait for the Polyjuice potion to know for sure." Hermione says as Ada sits next to her reading a book. "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 askes.

Hermione lets out a breathy laugh. "No. No one ever comes in here."

"Why?"

Ada doesn't look up from her book and states "Moaning Myrtle." Hermione points to Ada nodding. "Who?" Ron asks confused.

In a spit second a ghost with pigtails and round glasses pops out of a stall behind Ron. "Moaning Myrtle." Hermione says spotting the ghost. "Who's Moaning Myrtle?"

Myrtle floats towards Ron and shouts in his face, "I'm Moaning Myrtle." She dramatically floats up above the sinks "I wouldn't expect you to know me. Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable, moping Moaning Myrtle?" She cries flying into a toilet causing water to go everywhere.

The people who have had the misfortune of meeting Myrtle roll their eyes. It was extremally easy to upset the girl.

"She's a bit sensitive." Ada deadpans still not looking up from her book, she was really invested in it. She hopes Amy will chose to marry Laurie and not that other man.

Students spoke around a long platform, they were there for dueling club. Lockhart steps up "Gather round! Gather round."

"Why is that man hosting dueling club, he can't even preform one spell." Remus sighs, he was still annoyed at the man for hurting his cub.

"Can everybody see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent. In light if the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling club to train you all up, in case you ever need to defend yourselves, as I myself have done on countless occasions. For full details, see my published works."

Everyone rolls their eyes of course he would try to sell his book at any given chance.

Lockhart takes of his robe throwing it to some fan girls who fond over it. "Let me introduce my assistant... Professor Snape."

Sirius stars laughing, "Oh this is gold." Snape rolls his eyes for two reasons, One he wasn't anyone's assistant, and two just the sound of Sirius.

Snape walks up onto the platform with a dead expression. "He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration, Now I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear."

Ada who was stood next to Hermione whispers "I bet Snape will kick his arse." Hermione smacks Ada's arm "Don't be ridiculous, Lockhart has loads of experience." Ada laughs out loud "Mione, the only experience he has is being a fraud. He can't even preform of bloody spell correctly." Hermione just shakes her head looking back to the scene before her.

The two walk towards each other lifting their wands to their face before bowing and walking opposite directions "One. Two. Three." Lockhart says and has no time to cast a spell before Snape says "Expelliarmus!"
