It has now been about a week since the quidditch match Davina and Harry were all healed up and while she was in the hospital the trio asked her if she would help them with a potion.

They wanted to change into some slytherin's so they could ask Draco about the chamber, Davina knew that he had no idea who it was but she couldn't tell them that without them finding out he visited her. That just didn't seem like an option .

So she agreed to brew a batch of Polyjuice potion for them in the girls bathroom, Hermione offered to help but it was a simple potion.

Davina, Bekki and the trio were discussing the whole situation and Harry told her all about what dobby said in the hospital, when ron spoke up
"Of course. Don't you see? Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here. Now he's taught Draco how to do it." Davina scoffed at that because of what she knew but you couldn't say that,

"You think Draco would be trusted with that much responsibility." Sge knew if he heard her say it he wouldn't be happy but what else could she do.

"We'll have to wait for the Polyjuice Potion to know for sure." Hermione says as she passes Davina the next ingredient and she stirs the potion.

"Enlighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight, in the middle of the girls lavatory? Don't you think we'll get caught?" The girls knew the answer to that and Davina just smirked at the boy while Bekki went to explain
"No. No one ever comes in here." She says shaking her head and laughing a little

"Why?" He asks again

"Moaning Myrtle." Hermione repeats

"Who?" Ron is still confused and the girl looked up to see said ghost behind him with an angered expression on her face

"Moaning Myrtle." Bekki notices it too as she looks behind the boy laughing

"Who's Moaning Myrtle?" None of them said anything and just let the girl explain, this was going to be good.

"I'm Moaning Myrtle." She screeched making Ron jump
"I wouldn't expect you to know me. Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable, moping Moaning Myrtle?" And then she flies off down the toilet screaming and crying

"She's a little sensitive." Davina says and continue with the potion.

It was announced there was going to be a dueling club held by Proffesor lockhart. Davina had tried to get out of it with Bekki but Hermione dragged them both there.

They were all gathered round a long walkway talking when said proffesor walks on

"Gather round! Gather round. Can everybody see me?
Can you all hear me?" He says walking down the long walk way

"Unfortunately" Davina says directly to him, he dosnt retaliate and just keeps going

"Excellent. In light of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this Dueling Club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves. As I myself have done on countless occasions." He said

"Sure" She scoffed a bit to loudly earning an elbow to the ribs from Hermione

"For full details, see my published works.

Let me introduce my assistant.
Professor Snape.
He has sportingly agreed to help with a short demonstration."

Oh this is going to be good

'I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your Potions master when I'm through with him.
Never fear." They both walk to the middle bring their wands infront of their faces. Down to their side and bow before turning and walking away a couple paces and turning round into a dueling stance.

"One. Two. Three!" Lockhart counts down but before he could say a spell, Snape was first to throw one
"Expelliarmus!" He said throwijg lockhart back like he's been waiting to do that for a while.

"Do you think he's all right?" Davina heard Hermione ask through her laughs

"Who cares?" Ron says clearly enjoying this

Lockhart gets up and walks forward
"An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying, it was obvious what you were about to do." He acts like he has an idea

"If I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy." He talks again. Sure big guy

"Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, professor." Snape had a small smirks as he says this and Davina looks at him and grin, its the first time she's seen this look on his face.

"An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape." Lockhart says as he turns round looking at all the students "Let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?" They were about to get up when Professor snape spoke again,

"Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox." He says it so casually and Davina laughs a little earning a glare from ron but she just returned it with an apologetic smile.

"Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?" She knew this wasn't going to go well as both boys stepped onto the walkway and facing each other.

"Wands at the ready." Lockhart calls and they both get ready

"Scared, Potter?" Draco spits

You wish." Harry snaps back

"On the count of three, cast your charms to disarm your opponent. Only to disarm.
We don't want any accidents here.

One. Two." Before lockhart could finish Malfoy sent a spell flying to Harry.

"Everte Statum!" It sent him flying through the air and he landed backwards with a loud thud.

Some slytherin's were laughing and other students were looking to see if he was okay while Malfoy had a smile in his face. Davina sent him a glare and his smile faltered for not even 2 seconds before picking back up and looking away.

Harry got up and shouted "Rictusempra!" Draco's way causing the boy to fly through the air similar to what he had done to Harry.

"I said disarm only." Lockhart said trying to stop them before it went too far

Malfoy was back on his feet again and shouted another spell
"Serpensortia!" Only this time it didn't throw Harry back. It sent out a snake into the walkway.

Everyone stepped back from the table a little bit but Davina stayed there looking at it as it slithered over towards Harry.

"Don't move, Potter. I'll get rid of it for you." Professor snape said as he stepped up to get rid of the snake.

Before he could do anything lockhart walked up
"Allow me, Proffesor Snape.
Alarte Ascendare!" The spell done nothing but throw the snake up in the air.

The snake looked around hissing before turning to the boy next to Davina.

Harry spoke to the snake
"Stop, leave him alone" Davina heard him and apparently so did the snake because it faltered but still went on.

"Leave him alone" Davina spoke to the snake pushing the boy back a little.

"Vipera Evanesca." Snape shouted and got rid of the snake. Before she could do anything the boy Davina pushed back stood in fornt looking between her and Harry with disbelief on his face
"What are you two playing at?" He says clearly upset about something.

The girl looked around and seen everyone shocked about something, unsure of what she just left.

Bekki, Hermione, Harry and Ron followedher out as she went back to the common room.
