At the Christmas banquet, the auditorium looked magnificent.
More than a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost and thick ribbons made of mistletoe and holly intersected on the ceiling reflected each other. The sky above the auditorium seemed to be enchanted. Warm and dry snowflakes gently floated down from the ceiling.
Everyone ate to their heart's content. When Elwyn and Harry finished their third helping of pudding, Hermione led them out of the auditorium to carry out their plan for the night.
First, they had to deal with Crabbe and Gore, which was not too difficult.
They only needed two pieces of cake with sleeping potions, and the two big guys would be at their mercy.
Elwyn and Harry spent a lot of effort to hide them in the cupboard at the end of the hall. To ensure that they would not be discovered, they plucked out a few strands of hair and brought out their shoes, because their own shoes could not fit Crabbe and Gore's big feet.
The trouble was with Hermione. Elwyn insisted that the black hair in her hand was not Millicent's, but a strand of cat hair.
"Impossible, Elwyn!" Hermione said stubbornly. "I got it from Millicent's clothes at the Combat Club."
"But she also has a cat. The hair in your hand is almost the same as the cat's. We'd better be careful."
In the end, under Elwyn's insistence, the three of them had to return to the auditorium to look for an opportunity.
They wandered around Slytherin's long table for a long time. When they saw Pansy Parkinson stand up and walk towards Snape, Hermione hurriedly bumped into her and plucked out a strand of hair from her head before she could lose her temper.
When Hermione apologized to Pansy, Elwyn and Harry saw Snape looking at them with a malicious sneer, which made their hair stand on end.
They hurried back to the bathroom, which wasted a lot of time. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

"I think Snape seems to have discovered something?" Harry said uncertainly. "Maybe we should find another opportunity."
"No, tonight is the best chance. After Christmas, the students will start to return to school."
Hermione took out the decoction and nervously read the stained page of the .
"It looks just like the books say. After we drink it, it takes us a whole hour to be ourselves again. My plan is foolproof. Snape won't find us. He'll only see Crabbe, Gower, and Parkinson. "
She scooped up large dollops of soup with a long-handled spoon and poured them into three glasses.
Then, with trembling hands, she poured Parkinson's hair from the bottle into the first glass.
The decoction made a loud noise, like a pot of boiling water, and was bubbling vigorously. A second later, it turned into an ugly brownish-black color.
"It's your turn. Add the things," said Hermione.
Harry hurriedly threw Gower's hair into the middle glass, and Elwyn put Crabbe's hair into the last.
Both glasses hissed and bubbled. Gower had turned a tank-yellow, and Crabbe a dark, sepia brown.
"Well, what do we do now?" asked Harry.
"Of course, we have to drink it," Hermione said nervously.
"I hope it tastes good. Cheers." Elwyn picked up the last glass of soup, threw his head back, and swallowed it in one gulp. He turned and ran to the nearest cubicle.
The decoction tasted like overcooked cabbage. As soon as Elwyn swallowed it, a burning sensation spread from his stomach to the rest of his body, to his fingers and toes. He felt like he was melting. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

It was as if his skin was bubbling like hot wax. He lay on the floor, gasping. He watched as his hands grew bigger, his fingers thickened, his nails widened, and his knuckles bulged like bolts.
Elwyn's shoulders began to stretch, and the pain was unbearable.
The prickling pain on his forehead told him that his hair was growing towards his eyebrows. As his chest expanded, his robe burst like a bucket breaking free from its iron hoop. His feet were squeezed into shoes that were four sizes too small, and he was in agony.
It came and went as quickly as it came. Suddenly, everything stopped.
Although he had read about it countless times in books, this was how it felt to be Crabbe. Elwyn struggled to take off his school uniform, which was several sizes too small, and put on Crabbe's clothes. Then he heard a shout from outside. It was Gower's voice.
"Are you two okay?"
"We're fine!" Elwyn replied in Crabbe's voice.
He walked out. In the mirror, he looked exactly like Crabbe, with short, pot-bottomed hair, long, gorilla-like arms, but his face was slightly pale.
Harry and Hermione also became Gower and Parkinson. Because Hermione was going to become Millison, she became Pansy. Her clothes were a lot bigger.
"Alright, the two of you, stop looking. Five minutes have already passed!" Hermione said. "We'd better hurry to Slytherin's common room. Let's hope Malfoy stays there."
They cautiously opened the door of the washroom, made sure there was no one around, and set off.
They imitated Crabbe, Gower, and Parkinson's movements as they walked down the marble stairs.
With Hermione leading the way, the three of them entered the entrance of the underground classroom. But they stopped immediately. Elwyn saw Snape standing in front of them with a faint smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for them.
"Good evening, Parkinson, Gower, and Crabbe." Snape asked in his slow, soft, and deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
"We, we..."
Elwyn and Harry looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Who knew what Gower and Crabbe would say when they met Snape.
But the normal Gaul and Crabbe seemed to be like this. After sweeping a glance at them, Snape didn't look at them anymore, and focused his attention on Hermione who was standing at the front with interest.
"Professor, we're going back to the common room," Hermione said cautiously.
"Oh, is that so?!" Snape said softly. "Miss Parkinson, before that, please come to my office. I think there's a need to discuss the topic at the banquet in depth."
"But, Professor..." Harry could not go on. He had no reason to stop Snape from taking away "Pansy Parkinson."
Besides, Hermione had been gesturing behind them, telling them not to worry about her.
Just like that, Elwyn and Harry watched as Hermione was taken away by Snape.
"You call this foolproof?!" Harry said anxiously. "Snape must have discovered something. I wonder what will happen to Hermione?"
"I think we'd better act according to our original plan. After questioning Malfoy, we'll think of a way to save Hermione," Elwyn said.
"That's easy for you to say. Do you know where Slytherin's common room is?"
Elwyn shook his head. He just realized that he knew the answer to this question.
The empty underground corridor was like a maze. The two of them walked around like headless flies, constantly looking at their watches and calculating how much time they had left. After a full quarter of an hour, they found themselves back at the same place.
It was a junction with three roads leading up to the auditorium on the first floor of the school. Facing the hall was a large mirror.
The corridor to the right of the mirror was Snape's office and potion class room. It was also the place where Nick's birthday party was held. To the left was a wide stone corridor. Harry and Elwyn had never been there, but Elwyn saw a painting of a silver bowl filled with fruits. That should be the secret passage to the Hogwarts' kitchen. Further ahead was the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room.
"Not here. I remember this mirror. We saw it just now," Harry said uncertainly. "Maybe we should go left."
"No, that direction leads to the Hufflepuff common room."
Just when the two of them were beginning to despair, they saw Draco Malfoy walking leisurely towards them. For the first time in his life, Elwyn was happy to see him.
"What are you two doing here? I thought you went back a long time ago."
Elwyn and Harry nodded dumbly. Malfoy led them to the right and stopped beside an empty, wet stone wall.
"What's the new password?" he said to Harry.
"Hmm?" Harry stammered.
"Oh, right. It's a purebred!" Malfoy said.
