My head snapped up as my cousin slammed his hands on the table. We were eating breakfast in the great hall after arguing about our seating arrangements before Draco, Vince, and Greg arrived. "Stupid Potter got into the quidditch team." Draco growled. Pansy rolled her eyes. "Oh would you sit down Draco." Draco huffed and sat down.

"Its not fair! First years aren't allowed on the team." Draco whined. "Oh shut up and eat." Daphne, Millie, and Tracy snapped. I sighed and put my utensils down. "The rules only says that first years aren't allowed to have brooms. It didn't say that first years aren't allowed in the team." Draco grunted before filling up his plate with food and eating silently.

It was the Halloween feast. I was chatting with Daphne about what we'd do during Yule when our conversation shifted to how Rebekah was like. "I heard that she's really pretty." Daphne said after swallowing her food. "I mean- the whole family is. You don't even know how much trouble Bekah's brothers had with her large number of suitors in the early era's." I chuckled.

"How did they handle it?" Daphne sipped her pumpkin juice. "I don't think that topic would be appropriate while we're eating." Daphne's eyes widened before nodding as she understood what I was talking about. I wiped my mouth before standing up. "I'll just use the restroom." I told Daphne as I left the table and headed to the closest restroom I could find.

After a few turns I finally arrived at the restroom. I heard crying but decided to ignore it. I entered a stall and did my business. I washed my hands before the occasional sniffling became loud sobs. I rolled my eyes and decided to find out who was crying. "Who's there?" I yelled. Granger came out of a stall, eyes red and tears running down her cheeks.

I decided to be bitchy Estelle and scoffed. "Couldn't do that in your common room?" I said, my American accent coming out thick. Granger sniffled before washing her face. I scrunched my nose at the way she was washing her face, she wasn't delicate while doing it, which made it obvious that she doesn't do skincare.

I turned around to leave and my eyes widened. There was a huge troll. How did it even get in? I take slow steps back and grab Grangers arm, harshly pulling her behind me. It wasn't that I cared about the girl. It was simply because she was the defenseless one  out of the two of us. Granger -being the idiot that she is at the things that she can't learn in books- screamed when she saw the troll.

I sighed as the trolls attention turned to us. It swung its club at the stalls, smashing them immediately. Granger went under the sinks -which was an idiotic move as she just increased her chances of death if shards of glass pierced her head- while I thought of a spell. The troll swung its club at the sinks shattering them as Granger screamed again.

I grabbed Granger and put her behind me once again. "Defendat ab omnibus." I chanted one of my covens original spells as a green forcefield surrounded us. Just then, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley came running in and looked at the troll and then averting their gazes to Granger and I. I glared at them. "Well don't just stand there you idiots! At least try and help us!" I yelled at them as the troll kept smashing its club at my forcefield.

Potter -being more idiotic and incompetent than usual- had the oh so bright idea of jumping at the trolls back and sticking his wand up its nose. "Swish and flick!" Hermione yelled to Weasley. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. I sighed. How incompetent can they get? I took out my wand and pointed it at the trolls club.

I watched as a bright light erupted from the tip and blasted the club into pieces. "Get off the troll you bloody idiot!" I yelled at Potter as he jumped down and groaned from the impact. I rolled my eyes and extended the forcefield to him. "Get inside the forcefield Weasley!" I shouted at the red head as he rolled away from the trolls foot that almost crushed him and into the forcefield with us.

"Ad somnum." I chanted as the troll came crashing down making some small pieces of rubble fly around, the forcefield luckily protecting us from it. The professors came running in with my friends in tow. I pursed my lips into a thin line and closed my eyes. I am so telling Nik about this. I opened my eyes and waved my hand. The forcefield disappeared instantly.

"Explain yourselves! All of You!" McGonagall exclaimed as my friends ran to my side. I told them I was okay before turning to McGonagall. "It-" I cut Granger off and decided to save our asses. "I left the great hall to use the restroom and found Granger crying. When I was about to leave, the troll came." I started.

"That forcefield I made was one of my covens original spells, I used it to protect us. Then Potter and Weasley came to help us -which they didn't do- Potter stuck his wand up the trolls nose," Daphne scrunched her nose at this. "Weasley tried the levitating charm on the trolls club but nothing happened."

"I told Potter to get off the trolls back, he jumped down -I think he hurt his back- I extended the forcefield to him, Weasley almost got crushed by the trolls foot, I told him to get in the forcefield with us and then I put the troll to sleep with a wiccan spell." I took a deep breath since I said all of that in one breath.

"Miss Black, care to explain why the trolls club is smashed into pieces?" My head of house drawled. "I used the Reductor curse, sir." He raised an eyebrow at this. McGonagall's eyes twinkled. "Five points will be taken from the two of you," She looked at Potter and Weasley. "five points to miss Granger for sheer dumb luck and fifteen points to miss Black for use of advanced magic and for protecting a fellow student." 

We were being led to the common room by our head of house when he stooped a few feet from the portrait and turned to us. We looked up at him questioningly. "Ten points to the nine of you for warning me of miss Black's situation instead of going after her yourselves like Potter and Weasley, and twenty points to miss Black for quick thinking." Our head of us left with his robes flying behind him.

We continued our walk to the common room. As the portrait shut behind us Theo spoke. "Did we just earn our house a hundred and ten points in one night?" We all nodded. "I think we did." Millie spoke. We parted as we left for our dorms. My friends were getting changed while I just snapped my fingers. I climbed into my bed and shut the curtains around it. I should stay clear of those three.
