Everything was going as planned. The next morning all of Slytherin had sent out letters. I was also told that all of Ravenclaw had also sent out letters as had some of Hufflepuff and even a few Gryffindors. When the people who had gone home for holidays returned, they were all told of what happened and they also wrote home. My group was currently sitting in the common room talking, Neville and Luna were with us.

"Why does everything happen while we're gone." Cassius complained

"I mean how did you even get all the timing correct?" Adrian asked

"I took into consideration everything I knew, and what you guys told me. They made the Polyjuice potion on the second floor. They would have to come to the common room, ask their questions, and then have to get dragged to the Great Hall." I said

"Yeah, but how did you get Professor Snape to do it? Yes, he hates the Potters with everything he is, but he has never gone that far to get them in trouble." Marcus said

I was quiet for a moment. I went to answer, but Luna beat me to it.

"She gave him freedom." Luna said

They all looked at Luna and then at me.

"Was he not already free?" Draco asked

"No, he was trapped in a promise, and I found him a loophole." I said

"What promise?" Theo asked

"It's not my place to tell." I said

They all nod their heads in understanding.

"In other news, have you guys seen that the squirrel has a tail?" Adrian asked

"Yeah, she was in on it with the two boys but instead of getting hair from a girl, she got hair from a cat." Marcus said

"How can someone not tell the difference between cat and human hair? I mean they are different sizes, colors, and texture." Cassius said

The topic soon turns to how everyone Yule's break was. I got up to head to my room when they all stopped talking and stood up as well.

"No need to stand, you may sit." I said

They nod their heads, sit down, and go back to talking. I headed to my room and heard footsteps behind me. I made it to my room and went to close to the door but Adom's hand on the door stopped me.

"Let me in." Adom said

I let out a huff, but let him come in. He shut and locked the door. I walked to the wardrobe to change. When I walked out of my wardrobe Imhotep was sitting on my bed. I didn't say anything, I walked past him to my vanity to start taking my braids out.

"Why will you not talk to me?" he asked

I didn't say anything and continued to take out my braids. Imhotep let out an irritated sigh but got up and walked over to me. He pushed my hand away and started to undo my braid. We both remain silent while he undoes my braids.

"Why have you been wearing your hair in a bun or in braids?" Imhotep asked

"I just like it up." I said
