I'm not a coward, just shy (Hogwarts fanfic)

ch 4- in the wrong bathroom, mr troll

I have been a few months since we had started Hogwarts and all together, I was really enjoying myself. I am doing quite well my subjects. My best subject were charms and Potions, Even though professor Snape, the potions teachers looks very disappointed when i get the potions right. Harry and Ron were not having as much luck in potions as me, with Snape embarrassing Harry in front of whole class on his first lesson. I had become best friends with Hermione Granger very quickly, We mainly studied together, but we ate and talked together as well, I had even played for her a few times.

My worst experience was my first flying class. I got taunted by Draco Malfoy and got so embarrassed that When I finally got into the air, I lost control and crashed into Neville, who fell to the ground and broke his arm while I hanging on to my broom upside down by my legs, completely blind since my glasses had fallen off. When I finally got to the ground and was handed my repaired glasses by Hermione, I helped Professor Hooch half carry half drag Neville to the hospital wing, muttering apologizes, as Neville groaned in pain. When I lefted the hospital wing and got back to the common room Ron and harry were waiting for me. They told me excitedly about how Malfoy was saying some nasty stuff about me and Neville and then he found Neville Rememberall. He fought up with the Reamemberall and Harry chased him, even though Professor Hooch told us not to leave the ground. Malfoy then fought and caught the Rememberall and was just reaching the ground McGonagall came out. She told him to follow her where she bought him to the Gryffindor Quidditch captain and Harry became the new seeker for the team.

Now I was in charms with Hermione on my left with Ron on my right. We were trying to make feather float with a spell called Wingardium Leviosa.

"Wingardium Leviosa" I said clearly for once, my feather fluttering up an inch off the table before falling back to my desk.

"Wingardium leviosar!" Ron said waving his wand madly, me just managing not to get my eye taking out.

"Ron, be careful, your don't need to wave your wand as hard, just a swish and flick" I said showing him with my wand.

"-and also your pronouncing it wrong, it's Leviosa not Leviosar" She said this like she was talking to a five year old, which flared Ron's angry.

"If you two are so smart why don't you do it" He snapped, making me jump and almost drop my wand.

"Wingardium leviosa" Hermione said smugly as her feather floated into the air.

"Wingardium leviosa" I half whispered and my feather joined Hermione's as they sort of spun around. Ron huffed as Professor Flitwick congratulated us.

"Well done, Hermione" I smiled. "Don't worry Ron, just try" I tried to reassure him.

"Just be quiet, you're so annoying" Ron snapped, the words rang in my head bring back bad memories. I didn't try to comfort him anymore.

Me and Hermione walked out of charms together, Hermione was trying to comfort me and told me that he was being a prat. Then I overheard a sentence that made my blood boil.

"Hermione is so annoying, No wonder she has no friends". I heard a stifled sob from Hermione who pushed passed them. I tried to follow heard after sending the coldest glare I could muster, before following her.

It took me a while to find Hermione because I lost sight of her in the hush of bodies. Once the halls quieted down, I heard sobbing. I followed the sound of sobbing which lead me to a girls bathroom. I knocked on the door.

"H-Hermione, are you in there" I asked softly. After a sharp intake of breath and a sound of toilet paper being pull from its holder and no responds. "If you don't answer I am coming in" I said not sure if I meant it. When there was no respond I walked in. All the stall doors were open except for one, with I could see Hermione's shoes under it. "Hermione, I am going to wait until you come out and please hurry cause, I look like a stalker" I said sating next to the sink across from the door. I waited and the door didn't open. " Ok, well I please you can't escape and therefore have to listen me and not listen to Ron. He was angry because you out shone him. I know that it was hurtful but please try not to like it get to you. You are the smartest and most charming girl I have meet, and I think you are brilliant" I smiled, and I heard the lock check and I saw her eye in the gap.
