A Bitter Silence (Version two of 'Silence is Music?')

11

My training was hard, Dumbledore introduced me to Mad-Eye Moody.

Yes, the Mad-Eye!

Fan moment.

Well, he trained me every morning with 'CONSTANT VIGILANCE!'

I also trained in the obstacle course.

First, get past Fluffy, easy enough, then, get through the Devil's Snare. I got a huge shock when it grabbed me the first time. Next, grab the key. Hard when it has an anti summoning charm, as I found after I used my wand to call it to me. I never was any good at chess, so I rarely got past McGon's giant set. That troll was terrifying, and they had a spare somewhere in the dungeons. The riddle with the potions changed every time.

That reminded me of Riddles.

'Sir, what do you know of Mathew Morfin Riddle and Tom Marvolo Riddle.'

He stopped what he was doing. "I knew you would find out at some point."

He sighed.

"Your father was a talented youth, he was deeply in love with your mother, and joined the Death Eaters to protect her from harm, as Voldemort was looking for members of your mother's family to join his ranks. As your family is one of the most powerful in history, he was sure to track down your mother. He did, but Mathew protected her and died. She hid you and went to fight the Death Eaters, a grave mistake, as she was heavily pregnant with your little brother.

I gasped, horrible, that is just so cruel.

"His brother, Tom Riddle, I'm afraid, was not so nice as your father, he was talented, yes, and loved once, but never again, and he became the worlds most feared wizard. Lord Voldemort."

I was silently crying tears.

He gave me a photo of them, a few days before their deaths. Mum was hugging dad, who was holding my one year old self.

I was depressed for days after that, but Moody's CONSTANT VIGILANCE fixed it. He taught me about drinks, and made me drink only black coffee for a whole week. He gave me training in agility, and reflexes. Each time he met me, an attack was in order.

I walked up to him, silent (obviously) and jumped high over his swinging stick, grabbing it on the way down, I twisted it in his grip, flipping him over.

He sat up and smiled. Mind you, it didn't look to good, but it was Mad-Eye Moody's smile, which was so rare that I instantly lit up.

I still had a life outside of training, but it wasn't the most interesting, I got some pranks in though!

All through the week people were coming in to the hall with different ailments. Malfoy seemed fine one breakfast, but, when he ate a piece of bacon, his hair slowly began to turn black and crinkly and started falling off. Strand by strand. He also turned a bit purple, actually, it was a neon purple and seemed to glow in the dark. He also had a bad case of orange pimples, and whenever he walked into a room and everyone started laughing. He would shout:

"My Father will hear about this!!!!!!!" Good times....

What? It served him right for what he did to Neville!

Potter got onto the Gryffindor team, so I asked Neville to give him a drugged sweet that turned your hair green and your skin silver, I also added a tattoo to his arm saying 'SLYTHERIN!!!'.

It was permanent for about a week.

And SO funny!

Ron's was the best though, I transformed all of his Chudley Cannon stuff into Falmouth Falcon things. turned his clothes into mountain lederhosen, and charmed his mouth so that he yodelled every time he spoke. Which made potions VERY funny indeed.

At one point, while I was levitating some makeup spreader into Potter and Ron's beds through their dormitory window, Gred and Forge caught me in the act.

"Hey Har!"

"We're sorry for what baby Weasley said,"

"We don't feel the same!"

"But we'd like to make an apology,"

"And an offer,"

"Would you like to be part of our pranking pals?"

I grinned, and lobbed a dung bomb at them.

Apology accepted.

Soon it was Halloween, and The WC were at their element,

The WC being me and the twins: Weasley & Chord.

It was their idea.

I didn't want it, but they insisted.
