Standing with your friends near the outside staircase, you watched your fellow students rushing to the carriages that would take them home for the holidays. “My parents still aren't all that happy that I'm not coming home. But they promised to buy the presents I wrote down for everyone.”

You said leaning on the freezing cold stonewall just as the twins paced. “Make way for the Heir of Slytherin! Seriously evil wizard coming through!” Fred joked quickly ruffling your hair as he and his brother walked away.

Snickering at Fred's silliness you dropped your smile when you saw Harry frowning grimly. “Oh, c'mon, Harry. Fred's just having a laugh.” Ron said trying to cheer his friend up.

“He's the only one.” Harry grumbled bemusedly making Ron roll his eyes. “Okay, so half the school thinks you're sneaking off to the Chamber of Secrets every night. Who cares?”

Ron said making you elbow him in the side and give the redhead the seriously look. “Maybe they're right.” Harry whispered making you quickly turn to him.

“Don't start saying that! Your a good person and would never hurt anyone.” You growled making the green eyed boy clench his fists.

“I didn't know I could speak Parseltongue. What else don't I know about myself? Maybe you can do something...something horrible...and not know you did it.” Harry said making you look away sadly.

“You don't believe that Harry, I know you don't. And if it makes you feel better, (First/Name) says Malfoy's staying for holiday, too.” Hermione said making Ron scoff.

“Why would that make anyone feel better?” He asked making both you and Hermione want to face palm.  “Because, in a few days the Polyjuice Potion will be ready. In a few days...we may truly know who is the Heir of Slytherin.”

Hermione said quietly making you nod with a small smile as the four of you headed inside. Bobbing your leg under the dining table you looked away from your house table feeling guilty for abandoning your house.

Sitting with you and the boys after she had gotten herself a plate. “Everything's set. We just need a bit of who you're changing into.” Hermione said making you turn to her as Harry looked up at her.

“Crabbe and Goyle.” Harry said making the bushy haired girl nod. “And we also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can't burst in on us while we're interrogating Malfoy.”

Hermione said as Ron tilted his head “How?” He asked making you bite your inner lip guiltily as Hermione held up a pair of small muffins you made earlier that morning.

“I've got it all worked out. I've filled these with a simple Sleeping Draft. Simple, but Powerful.” Hermione said putting the muffins down onto the table.

“Now, once they're asleep, hide them in a broom closet and pull out a few of their hairs and put on their uniforms.” Hermione continued making you cringe. “I could most likely keep them occupied for hours in the kitchen.”

You thought as Ron snapped at the both of you. “And whose hair are the two of you ripping out?” He asked as Hermione smugly grinned. “I've already got mine.”

She said as you raised your hand “I don't need to drink any potion to get into the Slytherin common room.” You said making Ron stare at you in both surprise and confusion. As Hermione stood up. “I'm going to check on the Polyjuice Potion.”

She said as she pointed to the cakes in front of her. “Just make sure Crabbe and Goyle find these.” She said walking away as you stood up. “I’ll meet you guys at the staircase, and show you the way to the common room.”

You said with a small smile as you rushed out of the Great Hall. Finding a secluded spot you quickly transformed and made your way to the staircase leading to the dungeons.

Waiting there you were lost in thought when you were suddenly picked up. “Shadow! Your such a sweet girl waiting for your master. I'll make Crabbe and Goyle get you a treat later.”

Draco said lightly scratching under you chrin as you froze. “Crap this wasn't part of the plan!” You thought as the pale blond carried you down the stairs and into the common room.

Laying on Draco's stomach you sighed. “I hope you boys can find there way down here.” You thought as you twitch your nose as grey eyed boy below you lightly tapped your back annoyedly.

“Where are those idiots? Probably gorging themselves in the kitchen, Shadow stay here I'm going to go get them.” Draco growled holding onto you as he sat up before carefully setting you down on your designated feather pillow.

Watching your fake owner leave you made yourself comfortable and waited hoping both Harry and Ron wouldn't mess up. Nearly ten minutes later you saw Draco walk back into the common room with Crabbe and Goyle following him.

“Wait where's Hermione?” You thought worriedly just as Draco plopped down next to you as you silently groaned at how awkward Harry and Ron were being as they stood near the couch. “Well sit down.”

Draco ordered as he picked you up and onto his lap to start petting you again. Glaring at Goyle who you assumed was Harry in descise as he curiously stared at you. You looked up at Draco when he suddenly spoke.

“You'd never know the Weasleys were purebloods the way the behave. Theyer an embarrassment to the Wizarding world, all of them.” He said making Crabbe aka Ron clench his fist till his knuckles popped.

“What's up with you, Crabbe?” Draco asked making Harry elbow Ron in the side. “S-stomach ache.” Ron mumbled making Draco roll his eyes as he looked down at you as he set you down onto the floor to stretch your legs.

“You know, I'm surprised The Daily Prophet hasn't reported all these attacks yet. I suppose Dumbledore's trying to hush it all up. Father always said Dumbledore's the worst thing that's ever happened to this place.”

Draco said watching you hop over to Crabbe when Harry growled. “You're wrong!” Making Draco's grey eyes snap to him in an instant. “What? You think there's someone here who's worse than Dumbledore? Well do you?”

He asked making you kick Harry's foot worriedly as Harry quickly thought then piped up. “Harry Potter.” Mentally groaning again kicked Harry's foot when Draco grinned.

“Good one, Goyle. You're absolutely right. Saint Potter. And people actually think he's the Heir of Slytherin?” Draco asked making all three of you look at him more intently as the pale blond leaned against a table.

“Then you must have some idea who's behind it all?” Goyle (Harry) asked making Draco click his tongue in annoyance. “You know I don't, Goyle. I told you yesterday, how many times do I have to tell you?...Is this yours?”

Draco said then asked as he held up a small wrapped box. Watching both Harry and Ron shake their heads you glared at Draco as he slipped the small gift into his pocket before leaning closer to whisper.

“But my father did say this, It's been fifty years since the Chamber was opened. He wouldn't tell me who opened it only that they were expelled, the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood died.”

Draco said sending a chill down your spine as he grinned. “So it's only a matter of time before one of them's killed this time. As for me...I hope it's Granger.” Droco continued making your heart sink as Ron quickly stood up angrily, making Harry hold him back.

“What's the matter with you two? You're acting very...odd.” Darco said watching the two curiously as you looked up your friends worriedly.

“Com'on guys keep it together!” You thought as Harry blamed their behavior on Crabbes stomach ache. Just before they both quickly bolted out the door. “Hey! Where are you two going?”

Draco yelled as the two disappeared out of the common room. Stamping your foot angrily. “They just left me! Those jerks I don't want to be stuck here until Draco goes to bed!” You thought as you turned to look at Draco who turned to you.

“Those morons are going to be locked out of the dorm room for running out like that.” Draco growled going over to pick you up and head to the boys dormitory to head to bed.
