Second year: Secret friendship

Chapter 12

A month flew by, and it was almost Christmas! Everyone at Hogwarts is getting their presents ready, sleighing across the snow outside. Enadira was with Harry and the trio as they were outside enjoying the beautiful white snow falling. There were some students walking around with presents in their hands. Fred and George appeared behind them. "Hey look, everyone, its the heir of Slytherin," George said with a smirk as everyone looked at Harry. "Be careful, he's a seriously dangerous wizard," George said as both twins left laughing.

Enadira had a smirk on her face at their joke, but she noticed Harry wasn't laughing at all. "Oh, come on, Harry, Fred, and George were just having a laugh," Ron explained as he also noticed Harry's serious expression. "It was kind of funny, but I'll just keep it to myself," Enadira thought. Apparently nobody believed Enadira was the heir anymore and kept pointing at Harry to be the one. "They're the only ones laughing," Harry said.

"Ok, so half the school thinks your nipping into the chamber of secrets at night," Ron said. "Who cares?" he said. "Exactly Ron, he has a point," Enadira pointed out. "Maybe their right," Harry said and walked back inside as they went after him. "Harry!" Enadira called him out, but he ignored her. "Oh, come on!" Hermione said. Harry swiftly turned around. "Look, I didn't know I could speak Parseltongue; what else don't I know about myself?" he said to them.

"Look, I get it; I'm in the same boat as you, Harry," Enadira said. "I'm discovering myself too," she said. "It's a bit different, Enadira; at least you have your history and photos while I had nothing," Harry pointed out. Enadira exhales, "Ok, so its a bit different," she says. "If it makes you feel better, Harry, Malfoy is going to stay for the holidays," Hermione says. "Why would that make anyone feel better?" Ron asked confused.

"An excellent question, but fortunately we need him," Enadira said. "The potion will be ready in a few days," she said in a lower voice, so no one can hear except them. "Exactly, in a few days we may truly know who is the heir of Slytherin," Hermione says. "And then an exciting Christmas!" Enadira smiles as her friends laugh along with her. "Mostly excited to spend some time with Snape!" Enadira thought happily as they were starting to walk around as their day continued.

A few days have passed, and it's finally the Christmas feast! Every student that stayed for the holidays at Hogwarts is in the grand hall enjoying their feast. The trio were enjoying their meal until Enadira came to join them. "Hey guys, everything is set," she said as she sat down next to Hermione. "We just need a bit of who we were changing into," she said. "Crabbe and Goyle," Harry said. "We also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can't interfere while we interrogate Malfoy," Hermione adds.

"How?" Ron asks. "I've got it all worked out," Hermione gestures as she takes out two cupcakes. "I've filled these with a simple Sleeping Draught Enadira made," she placed them on the table. "Simple, but powerful," she says. "So once they eat those, put them in the broom closet and take out a few of their hair," Hermione explains to them. Harry and Ron shudder at the fact, "Who's hair do you guys have?" Ron asks. Both girls took out their tube that had hair inside.

"I have pansy Parkinson's," Enadira said. "Mines Millicent Bulstrode, I got this off her robes," Hermione said. "I'm going to check on the Polyjuice Potion" Enadira said. "I'm coming too." Hermione said. "Make sure Crabbe and Goyle find the cupcakes," Hermione adds as both girls leave. As Enadira and Hermione headed off to the girls bathroom, Harry and Ron made sure the cupcakes were in the hands of Crabbe and Goyle.

As Enadira sits on the floor as she stirs the potion, Hermione is walking back and forth. "Walking like that won't make them faster," Enadira says. Harry and Ron made it as they entered the room. "Oh, did you get the hairs?" Enadira asks them as they took it out. "What are those?" Ron asked as he looked on the floor. "Slytherin robes, I had to sneak them from the laundry," Hermione said.
