Year Two-
As the school year progressed things started to plateau. There hadn't been another attack in a while but Hally and her friends needed to know who was behind the ones that had happened so far.Snape had been correct about the rumours that were going to spread after Hally spoke parseltongue in front of her whole year. It wasn't long after that incident that the whole student body was under the impression that she was the heir of Slytherin, that she was the one going around and petrifying her peers. Being found next to a petrified Justin had just fuelled them even more.
Hermione and Ron eventually came around and the three friends collectively decided that they were going to brew a batch of polyjuice potion to see if the actual heir of Slytherin was Draco Malfoy, like they all suspected.
"Hally you have to figure out a way to get the ingredients, you're in Snape's classroom every day and you have more access than Ron and I do !" Hermione exclaimed while sitting on the floor and stirring the cauldron of polyjuice potion she had started to brew. The three friends were in the second floor girls' lavatory as per her request.
"How do you expect me to do that exactly Hermione ?' Hally huffed out while crossing her arms over her chest. 'He's always with me ! Ever since I mentioned hearing that voice to him he doesn't leave me alone during detentions or when I help him after classes !"
"Well that is a bit of a problem then, isn't it ?' Ron chimed in as he looked in all of the cubicles. 'Quick question, why are we brewing this potion in the middle of the girls' lavatory during the school day where anyone can walk in ?!" As he finished asking his question the red-haired boy proceeded to let out an undignified, loud screech while opening one of the stall doors.
Hally and Hermione quickly brought their attention to where he was stood in a state of shock. A ghostly figure appeared just then and made its way through Ron while screaming and crying.
"Yuck !' Ron bemoaned while shivering slightly at the chill that went through him when the ghost of Myrtle Warren did. 'Who is that ?!"
"Moaning Myrtle." Hally and Hermione said at the same time.
"She's a bit sensitive...' Hermione continued before bringing her attention back down to the potion. 'That's why it's safe for us to brew this in here, none of the girls use this bathroom."
Myrtle hearing what the frizzy haired girl had just said about her started hysterically crying before she plunged herself back into the toilet of the stall that Ron was still standing in front of. Unfortunately that also meant that he was in the splash zone and got a face full of fresh toilet water.
"Ohh I can't imagine why that would be !" Ron blurted out sarcastically while speedily turning and walking towards the sinks to wash his face, nearly tripping over the simmering cauldron on the ground in the process.
