Take a Chance Chapter 12

Draco looked down the dark tunnel ahead of him. 'I can't believe this is happening to me' He cursed himself. Hermione had left him in the tunnels to search. 'I have to take orders from a mudblood, oh and not just any mudblood, Hermione Sodding Granger. Pretty Much my sworn enemy, I didn't even hate potter and much as I hated her,' Draco complained in his mind the entire time.
Hermione pulled herself through the tiny opening in the rocks, she found a tunnel that wasn't there before and this time it went downward. She had let Draco go off on his own, she didn't want to put up with his bickering. She just hope he didn't get too lost. Hermione pulled herself down the tunnel until she came to a huge opening. She couldn't see anything around her. Her wand wasnt bright enough to reveal the entire carvern. Hermione looked ahead of her and saw three small glowing red stones. She smiled and kicked off the bottom. It was just a far up and it had been to watch the rocks fall.
She finally broke the surface and smiled when she saw the combs. Hermione swam over and put the total of 23 combs in the bag. She went through the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. Hermione went back up through the girls bathroom. She was once again walking around Hogwarts in her bathing suit. She had to hury and get downstairs because severus was dueling Harry today and she didn't want to get spotted.
Anthony Collins watched Professor Granger pass by, with out noticing. He watched her go to the Potions door and he stepped from the shadows. Hermione readjusted her bag and gripped the handle. Anthony got up right behind her and smelled her hair. Hermione went inside and shut the door behind her.
"What a easy gig this will be," He smiled and went back to his dorms. Hermione put the bag on the ground behind the desk and ran back outside to find Draco.

"Hermione what were the extra days for?" Harry asked as her walked next to ...Hermione. Severus raised an eyebrow.
"to study Snapes moves," He told him. Harry looked at him.
"How can you study his moves? You never seen him fight," Harry said.
"I studied the spells he left behind in his office. And yes I have seen him fight, It was that year we had that oaf Lockhart here." Severus answered. He had perfected the potion to sound exactly like Hermione, to normal ears.
"I forgot about that," Harry said and took off his cloak. He tossed it aside and got at one end of the mat. Severus got to the other end.
Moody and Remus walked into the courtyard to watch.
"Take it easy on her potter, don't want to ruin her pretty little face." Moody laughed. Severus glared over at him. 'Oh I know exactly what she would do' Severus thought to himself and threw a unspoken curse at Moody which sent him flying. Remus and Harry bursted out into laughter as Moody met a very friendly bush. He fought to get away but he got to his feet and came back over next to Remus.
"Yes, yes, yes, very nice silent curse Miss Granger. Now, Can we got on with the duel?" Moody shouted. Hermione nodded.
"Wands at the ready...and...go!" Moody said. Both of them shouted a curse and Remus flinched. Something was hurting his ears. 'Hermione' said another curse and he felt it again. He looked up at her and listened for it. When she spoke there was a high pitched noise covering something up. Remus closed his eyes and listened. The pitch was continuous. A few Cursers later he could pick up a deep whisper beneath Hermiones voice. The next curse the underlying voice was perfectly clear. Remus opened his eyes and watched Hermione speak but Snape voice come from her body. Remus was about to act on it but Moody Put a hand on his shoulder and Remus lost his train of thought.
"Something wrong with Miss Granger there?" Moody asked. Remus looked up to Moody then Hermione. He tried to recal what he was just thinking about he couldn't.
"No, Nothing. I'm going to go inside. I'll see you at dinner." Remus said and rubbed his ears.
Moody looked at Hermione and noticed the image of her looked off with his magic eye. 'That's a bit odd ain't it' He thought. He didn't say anything he just let the two battle it for about an hour. Hermione said she had papers to grade and Moody let her go.

"Oh would you stop being a little Nancy boy! You weren't in there that long!" Hermione yelled at Draco as they climbed the stairs into the dungeons.
"Two Hours isn't long? I'm practically waterlogged!" Draco yelled back. Hermione turned around and pushed him back down the steps into the water.
"Then a litte more wouldn't hurt. " Hermione said and continued up the stairs.
"Bitch!" Draco yelled. Hermione fliped him off with out looking back.
"Nice to see you two are getting along," Hermione looked at the top of the steps and saw...herself.
"Have fun?" Hermione asked.
"It was hard to restrain myself but I managed," Severus said. Hermione looked at him.
"You're wearing my clothes!" Hermione said. Severus looked at her.
"You expected me to show up in mine?" He asked. Hermione shrugged.
"Well, when will you turn back into a man?" Hermione asked. Severus shook his head.
"Ten minutes," He said. Hermione nodded.
"How many students saw you in your birthday suit this time?" Severus asked.
"The usual, and I wasn't naked," Hermione said. Severus looked her over.
"You might as well be. " Severus said. Hermione shook her head. Draco caught up with them and looked between them. He shook his head.
"Sometimes I worry about you Severus," Draco said and headed to the door.
"Be careful Draco, I have a potion that will turn you into a girl for a week. I might just slip it in your drink. Then We'll see who's messed up at the end of that week!" Severus snapped.
"Oh that would be fun," Hermione laughed.
"I found them by the way, When are we going to India?" Hermione asked as they all walked to the potions lab. No one was in the hall.
"When we figure out which comb is the real one and I deliver all the others to Voldemort." Severus said.
"OK," She said and got the bag for him. She emptied it out on the desk.
"We spent two hours under water, for these...antiques?" Draco asked. Severus rolled his eyes and walked into the next room to change.
"One of these is a Horocrux, that has a piece of who know whos soul in it," Hermione said and spread them all out.
Severus came back a few minutes later, himself, and looked over the combs. He saw one with a green gleam in the light and picked it up. He felt the evil and handed it to Hermione.
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked.
"Can't you feel it?" Severus asked. Hermione gave him a strange look.
"Feel what?" Hermione asked. Severus shook his head, that is why the horocruxes stay in your bag!" Severus said.
"What?" Hermione asked, confused. Severus put the comb in her hand.
"Hold it for a minute," Severus said. Hermione did and still gave him a strange look.
"It's really cold," She said. Severus shook his head.
"Just forget about it, and add it to your collection," Severus said and put the combs back in the bag.
"I'll be back later," Severus said and left.
Hermione looked to Draco and picked up the comb. She put up her hair and put the comb in her hair. She put on of Severus' teaching robes and headed for the door. The thing swallowed her. The fabric was a heavy flanel, she imagined it would be warm in winter. Hermione just walked down the hall. She pouted inwardly, she couldn't get it to flow like Severus did.
"Hermione," Hermione looked up and saw Remus. Remus began to laugh at her.
"What?" Hermione whined.
"where did you get those?" remus asked.
"In a coat cupboard, in Professor Snapes office," Hermione answered. Remus still laughed.
"Why are you wearing them?" Remus asked. Hermione shrugged.
"Because I went swimming and forgot an extra pair of clothes and I didn't feel like walking around in my swimming suit again. " Hermione explained. remus didn't hear what he heard before.
"You didn't go swimming long," Remus said. Hermione shrugged.
"It's getting cold, I'm sure it will be raining in a few weeks. Then the snow starts. It was a nice end of the season swim," hermione said to him. Remus nodded.
"Hermione, did you do something to your voice?" Remus asked. Hermione gave him a strange look.
"No, Why?" She asked.
"Maybe it's the swimming or something, but there was something about your voice during the dueling practice today," Remus said to her. Remus was starting to sound suspicous.
"What are you saying? That I didn't sound like myself?" Hermione asked. Remus nodded.
"I'm not sure, I'll check with Madame Pomfrey. Maybe I'm coming down with a sore throat. That has happened to me before when I go swimming too late in the season. I'll see you at diner alright?" Hermione asked. Remus nodded. Hermione smiled and walked around him. Remus watched her go and felt very suspicous about her. It was then he decided to keep a close eye on her.
