Y/n Lovegood And The Four Houses [BOOK 1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6

~Duel At Midnight~

I stared at the boys, shocked. They managed to take out the troll, well Ron did, with a single spell. I crawl out from under the sink with Hermione. "That. Was. Insane." I say to the boys before being tackled in a hug from Neville. Just as he pulls away, the Professor burst in.

"Explain yourselves!" McGonagall screeches. Hermione glances at me and I nod.

"It was our fault Professor," Hermione speaks up, turning the attention to us.

"Yeah, we went looking for the troll since we had read all about them and thought we could take it down. If these three hadn't found us we'd be dead!" I was always able to be a pathological liar, even though I hated it. The professors sigh.

"That was very foolish you two!" McGonagall says. "Five points from both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and you three! Five points each... for sheer luck! Now get to your common rooms!" McGonagall says, sending disapproving looks to Hermione and I. I follow my friends out and notice Snape has a long scratch on his leg.

As we walked down the hall I said to the group. "Did you guys see Snape's leg, he had a huge cut!" I say. The four beside me stop.

"What?" They say in unison.

"Yeah! It was there and he was trying to hide it. I wonder what it's from though," I say to them. I reach my common room and they invite me to sit with them at breakfast tomorrow. I agree and they smile and walk towards Gryffindor tower.

I walk through the portrait hole and immediately am smothered with hugs and questions from Hannah and Susan. I pull away from the death trap that is hugs and I tell them to speak slowly. "Why were you crying in the bathroom?" Hannah asks.

"I was feeling depressed all day that why I avoided you and went to the bathroom and cried," I answer. They look at me with sympathy etched on their faces.

"Did you get attacked by the troll?!" Susan breaks the tension. I nod,

"Hermione Granger and I were both attacked, but Neville, Ron and Harry saved us," I say and they smirk at me with the mention of Neville, to which I roll my eyes.

"C'mon we should get to bed," Susan suggests, yawning. Me and Hannah nod in agreement.

I sit next to Neville and across from Hermione at breakfast the next day. Neville smiles at me and I smile back, feeling my cheeks heat up.
Once Harry and Ron arrive we begin discussing things that could've given Snape that giant cut.

"What about a three headed dog!" I exclaim suddenly, mouth full of waffles. Ron stifles his laughter and I glare at him.

"Do those even exist?" Neville asks, looking from Harry to me.

"We should ask Hagrid, he knows a lot about magical creatures," Hermione suggests. I nod and so does Harry.

I walk with them to our first class even though they have Transfiguration and I have Potions. In the hall Malfoy stops Harry. "Well, well, well, didn't get expelled did you?" Malfoy says to us.

"No Malfoy, actually I ended up being the youngest Hufflepuff chaser in history thanks to you, so thank you!" I say, smiling sickly and sweetly. He grimaces.

"Meet me in the trophy room to settle this. Midnight," Malfoy narrows his eyes.

"Alright. Harry's my second. Which one of your bumbling idiots are you bringing, prick?" I state, my hand on my hip. Malfoy raises an eyebrow cockily.

"Crabbe." He states.

"I'm coming with her," Ron says, volunteering to be my third.

"Alright, Goyle's my third." Malfoy waltz away. I stick my arms out and pretend to choke him.

"Argh! He's such an annoying prat!" I exclaim as we continue walking. Neville stares at me in awe.

"You're scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant but scary," Neville tells me before I exit into Professor Snape's classroom, I blush but smile confidently.

I open the portrait hole and crawl through. I creep through to the Gryffindor tower. I sit outside the Fat Lady portrait and wait for my friends.

The portrait slowly open but I only see Neville. "Where's everyone else?" I ask.

"Right here," Hermione says as they climb through the portrait hole. I silently say 'oh' and we walk towards the trophy room with them and we open the door and stand in the middle of the room. I started to grow bored until I heard Filch and his dumb cat coming I whispered to everyone to hide.

"That's right, sniff around my sweet, they could be anywhere," Filch said in his annoyingly gruff voice. I heard his car meow and then they left.

I peak out from my hiding spot and make sure it's clear. I walk out and open the door, signaling my friends to follow. They tip toe behind me and we don't realize it, but we're soon on the third floor. I see something ahead but we keep going.

"Oo~ Ickes firsties out of bed?" Peeves had blocked us from going any further.

"Shh! Peeves! You'll get us in trouble!" Ron whisper-shouts.

"FIRST YEARS OUT OF BED ON THE THRID FLOOR!" Peeves shouts and we run. I reach a room but the door's locked.

"It's locked! We're doomed!" Ron moans like a child. I roll my eyes and cast the unlocking spell

"Alohamora," I say as we burst in and close the door. I close my eyes until I hear Filch leaving. I sigh in relief but keep my eyes closed. What a coward Malfoy is! Not even showing up but he has the nerve to tip us off to Filch?! I should've expected nothing less of that ferret.

"Y/n, l-look," I hear Neville say quietly. I open my eyes and look up at the giant three headed dog. We all scream and run out of there and end up making it into the Gryffindor common room. I gasp for breath. I hate running with a burning passion.

"Haha! I was right! It was a three headed dog!" I say triumphantly through gasps of air
