"it's polyjuice potion."
ron, harry, and hermione resided within the library surrounded by the peers all sporting different houses. they were distance away, allowing their words to be missed by any wandering ears.
"properly brewed, the polyjuice potion allows the drinker to transform himself temporarily into the physical form of another." hermione read aloud from the book of potions she'd previously slipped off the shelf.
"you mean if harry and i drink that stuff, we'll turn into crabbe and goyle?" ron glanced between his friends with enthusiasm to which hermione simply nodded. "wicked! malfoy will tell us anything, even zemora— at least, i hope."
"when have you ever heard zemora say a word to us about draco? i doubt he'll budge on her, even if it's crabbe and goyle." hermione's features fell as she spoke before her eyebrows were furrowing due to the instructions for the potion at hand. "but it's tricky. i've never seen a more complicated potion."
"how long will it take to make?" harry questioned, staring towards hermione as he awaited an answer.
"a month."
"a month?" harry's eyes widened significantly. "but, hermione, if malfoy is the heir of slytherin, he could attack half the muggle-borns in the school by then."
"i know, but it's the only plan we've got."
harry and ron let out simultaneous sighs as a blanket of silence fell over. hermione continued to study the potion she'd be due to complete, yet her mind continued to wander to the first friend she'd managed to make within the halls of hogwarts.
"do you feel guilty too?" hermione's gaze remained upon the book in hand as her question directed itself towards the boys. "as if we're going behind her back?"
"we are." ron stated plainly. "i mean, with good reason though."
"we're just being cautious of every possibility, okay?" harry sent ron a disapproving look before his gaze was falling upon the granger girl. "if she's as innocent as we believe her to be, she'll understand why it was necessary."

"you don't seem much like every other slytherin i've encountered."
"i'm one of a kind, you could say." zemora continued in her step alongside luna, her words falling with a gentle grin. "but i cannot say the same for you. definitely a ravenclaw, through and through."
