Y/N P.O.V 

"What. The actual. Fuck. He said that to you?"

I nodded, kicking my legs in the air while laying upside down on a couch in the common room. 

"But he must have something against my dad or something because why would he hate us that much. He's protecting us but you can tell he still doesn't really like us."

Mattheo nodded and flipped to a new page in his notebook.

"So, what did he say about Moody?"

"Well- Why do you have a notebook?"

"I'm writing down all of my suspicions about him and seeing if anything connects. It might help me figure out what's going on."

"Ok Sherlock Homes."

I rolled my eyes but stopped when I saw Mattheo's face.

"Muggle thing."

Mattheo nodded and pulled out a quill and a bottle of ink. 

"Well, he just said that me and Harry need to be careful, and to not ask questions as it might tip off Moody. I think he also thinks something off about him. UGH! Why does it no make any sense?!"

"What doesn't make sense?"

I jolted up at the sound of Draco's voice. I glanced to Mattheo, who nodded and went back to writing.

"Something's off with Moody, but we can't tell what. There's something wrong and even Snape warned me to be careful so we're trying to figure out what."

Draco tossed his bag next to the couch and sat down.

"Something's off with Moody? Hm... I guess I can see that. What do you think he's up to?"

"I don't know.  But it's annyoing. I have a theory but Mattheo,"

I glared at Mattheo and his let out an exasperated sigh.

"Told me it was crazy."

Draco gave Mattheo a side eye and Mattheo threw his hands up in defeat.

"I'm sorry, but the theory that 'some kidnapped Moody and is pretending to be him' is ridiculous. 1. Who would do that? 2. How they overpower Mad Eye Moody, a very powerful wizard and auror? 3. How would they look like him? Disguise spells don't last that long."

Draco nodded in agreement and I rolled her eyes.

"1. Working for the Dark Lord, cause who else wants to kill me and Harry. 2. Caught him off guard I guess. 3. Polyjuice potion last ages, especially if you take it constantly over the day."

Both boys gave Y/N a look.

"How... do you know that? "

I paused, wondering if I should share the exploits of my second year. Deciding against it, I shrugged.

"I read it in the library. It's not very hard information to find. Besides it makes sense. Harry told me that Snape was missing ingredients. Accused Harry of taking them but he didn't."

Mattheo raised an eyebrow at me, remembering the request I had for him the year before, but I shook her head in refusal. 

"Well, it makes sense. But again, who? I know for a fact my father isn't doing it and the death eaters not in Azkabaan are still keeping distance until something big happens."

A squawk make the three jump and a snowy white owl flew down the stairs.

"Hedwig!"

I jumped up and held out my arm for Hedwig to land on. Hedwig ruffled her feathers and dropped a scroll into my hand. I rummaged through her pocket and pulled out small, stiff mouse.

"Here Hedwig. Hagrid gave me some."

Hedwig happily snatched up the mouse and climbed up my arm onto my shoulder, quietly eating away at the mouse as I opened the scroll. 
Mr Harry Potter and Ms Y/N Potter,
I am requesting you two must meet with me at 7:00 in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on Thursday night to discuss your final task. I would like to make sure you two are well prepared, especially considering your disadvantage. I will se you in class tomorrow
Professor Moody.
I paused. 

"What's wrong Potter?"

"I-um... Harry and I have a private lesson with Moody on Thursday."

"You're going are you?"

"I don't know. I haven't told Harry about my suspicions so he wouldn't understand why I don't want to go. And I'm not letting him go alone. "

"What are you going to do?"

Snape.

I picked up my bag and headed out the common room, an idea forming in my mind.

"Y/N? Oi Y/N! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

The door to the common room swung shut, cutting off Mattheo and Draco's confusion. I ran through the hall, dodging students and teachers to get to the potions room. Taking a second to catch my breath, I knocked on the door. 

"Come in."

I pushed open the door and walked up to the desk and the front of the class, Snape sitting at it looking over papers. He looked up, and gave me a raised eyebrow. 

"Ms Potter, what can I do for you?"

"Uh- Remember what you said to me about Ma- Professor Moody?"

"I recall my words. Is there an issue with what I said?"

I handed him the scroll and he read it, eyes darting across the page.

"Hm. Go to this session, keep alert, and I will make sure it is cut short."

I nodded and went to say something before I was cut off.

"No go Ms Potter, I don't want to see you until class tomorrow."

I thanked him and scurried out of the classroom. 

"Ok. Next mission: Update Harry."

I caught sight of Neville, heading to the library, and bolted towards him.

"Neville! NEVILLE!"

Neville jumped and saw me running towards him. 

"Oh, hey Y/N. Something wrong?"

"No, I just wanted to thank you for helping me in the second task, you're a really good at herbology, and to ask if you know where Harry is."

Neville went a little pink, and fumbled slightly with his things."

"Oh, it's ok. I wanted to help. I think Harry's in the Great Hall with Ron and Hermione."

"Ok, thank you Neville. I'll see you around."

Neville waved and I ran off to the Great Hall. As I approached the Great Hall, I saw a crowd gathered around the entrance. I pushed through the crowd to see Harry arguing with another student.

"Harry! What the fuck are you doing?"

The student he was arguing with saw me first and a look of pure rage flooded his face. 

"Y/N POTTER YOU FREAK!"

Before I could react, a flash of light hit me in the face and everything went black.

A/N - Sorry for the long gap between updates. Thank you for still reading, even with the inconsistent updates.
