Elizabeth Pure (A Harry Potter/ Weasley Twins/ Oliver Wood Fan Fic)

Halloween Trouble

Lightning flashed outside as Liz and Angelina entered the Halloween decorated great hall. They made their way to their seats next to the Weasley family, Oliver and a few of his friends, and Harry. They were the only girls there. Liz grinned as the feast began and she put candy and an apple on her plate.

Liz looked around, worried. "Where's Hermione?" Liz asked, looking for her friend. Hermione and Liz studied together whenever Liz didn't feel like pranking, which was rare. She enjoyed the girl's company.

"She apparently won't come out of the bathroom, she's been in there crying all afternoon." Neville's little voiced piped up from beside her.

"Why on Earth..." Liz started to ask when Ron and Harry turned red and looked ashamed. Liz glared at them and rolled her eyes. "You both are in for it." Liz got up and turned to her friends. "I'll be right back." She stalked out of the room and up to the third floor bathroom. When she got in the bathroom, she heard sniffles.

"Hermione? It's Liz." Liz said softly. Hermione's sniffles lessened.

"Yes, what do you want?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing, well, I was trying to get you to come to the feast, no matter what those stupid, insufferable boys say. Boys are all idiots their first term." Liz said. Hermione emerged from her stall and gave a half-hearted smile to Liz, who hugged her. Suddenly Hermione looked up and her eyes widened. She began to back up, and Liz looked at her quizzically. Liz turned to look at what she was staring at and widened her eyes and backed up until they were in the confines of the stall. Standing over them, readying its club, was a troll.

It swung the club down and clattered through a bunch of the stalls, making Hermione scream. Liz dove under the trolls legs and searched for her wand. She had left it in the dorm during dinner.

"I'll never let that happen again." She hissed. Suddenly the door opened and Harry and Ron were standing behind her, breathing hard.

Hermione noticed and Harry yelled, "HERMIONE MOVE!" the cave troll swung its club again and decked the rest of the stall to the ground. Hermione crawled towards the sinks. Liz threw a rock and tried to hit the troll, her aim deadly and accurate.

"Damn," She swore as the troll didn't even notice.

"CRASH!" The troll had swung at Hermione under the sink. At that moment, Harry climbed up to the trolls head and stuck his wand up its nose.

"ARE YOU STUPID, POTTER?" Liz screamed, disgusted and frustrated.

The troll grabbed Harry and swung him around trying to club him, but failing to, when suddenly Ron pointed his wand at the club and shouted, "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!" And the club floated then came crashing down on the troll's head, causing it to drop Harry. The troll fell to the ground, the blow of the club had knocked him out.

"Nice work, Ron," Liz called, helping Harry to his feet then rushing over to Hermione's side. "You alright, Granger?"

Hermione nodded as Liz helped her to her feet. They were brushing off when suddenly all of the Professors rushed into the bathroom.

"Explain yourself, Potter!" McGonagall said. The two of them shuffled and started talking at once when suddenly Hermione spoke up.

"It's my fault, Professor McGonagall."

"Miss Granger?" McGonagall asked, looking at her.

"I went looking for the troll. I read about them and I thought that I could handle it. But I was wrong." Hermione said, looking down at her shoes. "If Harry and Ron hadn't come looking for me, I'd be dead."

"And you, Liz?" I looked down at my feet. "I was skipping dinner because, well, I..." I hesitated before looking down, blushing, "broke up with my boyfriend." I finished with a barely audible mumble.

"Being as is it, Hermione, I will be deducting five points for your irrational and horrible behavior, Miss Granger. I am very disappointed in you." She turned to me, "As for you, you've dealt with enough today." She gave me a sympathetic smile, and I tried not to laugh about my lie. "And as for you two, five points..." She paused and Harry and Ron looked down. "Will be added to Gryffindor." They grinned at each other. "For sheer dumb luck!"

The Professors filed out and Professor Quirrell ushered them out of the bathroom. "T-t-to your d-d-dormit-t-tories, all of y-y-ou."
