Quidditch practice went great yesterday. Flint told me that I was a gifted Chaser and dad really proud of it. "You're really great, Mavy!" Draco compliment me, non-stop. Even the rest of Slytherin too.

We walked to our class which is Charms with Professor Flitwick. As usual Draco and I take the front seat together with Crabbe and Goyle. Opposite with us were Gryffindor, Harry was sitting next to Seanmus. Ron with Hermione, well I was in good term with Hermione. So we are a good friend now.

Since Professor Flitwick was short and small, no one noticed him enter the class except me. " Enough talking, Draco. Flitwick already at the front," Draco rise his eyebrow untill I pointed to Flitwick's place. "How did you know Flitwick was there?" He asked. I only rolled my eyes.

"Today we will learn on how to leviate objects. Now, take your wand. Swish and flick, everyone. After me, Wingardium Leviosa." Flitwick instructed us. Everyone of us swish and flick our wand. Each of us have a feather and Flitwick asked us leviate it.

"Win-gar-dium Le-vio-sa," I swish and flick my wand, casting the charm onto the feather. The feather float in the air. "Well done, Miss Snape, well done!" He compliment me. Meanwhile Ron doing very hard to float the feather. "Wingardium Leviosar!" He failed to float it. He tried again and again untill Hermione forced him to stop. "Stop, stop, stop. You are going to poke other's eyes with your wand. It's win-gar-dium le-vio-sa, not le-vio-sar." She said. Ron wasn't happy everytime Hermione trying to help him. "If you're really clever, why don't you try?" He groaned. Hermione held her head high and take her wand. Swish and flick, she was able to float the feather.

"Ahh another one! Well done, Miss Granger." Ron turned away from Hermione. Few seconds after Flitwick congratulate Hermione, Seamus exploded his feather which causes Harry's hair spiked up, including Seamus, himself. Flitwick was very shocked, also the whole class. "Professor, I guess we need a new feather." Harry coughed. All of Slytherin laughing at them. Ron having badmood at the end of the class.

Flitwick dismissed us. I ran towards Hermione, "Hey Mione? Are you alright?" She nodded weakly. I am so sure of it, she was not alright at all. I saw Harry and Ron talking to each other. "It's wingardium le-VIO-sa, not le-vio-SAR. No wonder she got no friend. She's a nightmare, honestly," Ron mocking her which cause Hermione to push him aside and walk more faster, leaving me alone. "I'm sure she's heard it," Harry told Ron.

"Hermione! Wait up!" I shouted. I glared Ron and spat him, "At least she has me as her friend, Weasley." I was running, looking for Hermione. I asked all of Gryffindor where she had been but none of them saw her. "Mione, where are you?" I murmured to myself.

"Mavis?" Dad approached me. I looked up at him with my sad face. "What's wrong?" He asked while gesture to came in his office. "Hermione got upset after Ron said she's got no friends," I said. Dad took a deep breathe as he lean on his chair. "Did you find her?" I shook my head. Maybe Hermione need some space for her to clear her mind.

It's halloween night and yet, Hermione does not shown up. Students gathered in The Great Hall, enjoying the foods and candies. "Something bothering, Mavy?" Draco asking, worried. "Well, you doesn't care about it. You hate her," I frowned. "Do you mean Granger?" I nodded, playing with my food. Draco pat my shoulder, "I may hate her but you know, she probably need some time."

I saw dad walking to my place and sit next me. "Still worried about her?" He put his hand on my shoulder while looking at me. "She wasn't at Gryffindor table yet since the beginning of the feast," I looked at dad. "If you want to find, go ahead. What kind of friend if they didn't care about their friend," he said. I know dad always the best, even others saying that he was being so mean to them.

Walking out from the hall, looking for my best friend. I searching every single inch of Hogwarts to find Hermione. I was nearly to gave up but not yet. I have not looking at dungeon yet. Worried, walking down to dungeon, hoping that I will find her as soon as possible.

Walking past girl's wash room, I heard a cry. "Hermione? Is that you?" I called out her. "Go away!" She shouted. I went near to the closed door and knock it. "It's me, Mavis. Please get out, Mione. Everyone were worried," I was about to tear up. I begged her again and again untill she opened the door. She hugged me, "Mavy don't cry. I'm so sorry." "You fool, don't lock up yourself alone next time. You have me as your best friend. Don't listen to Ron, he's just too stupid or maybe jealous because you're clever than him." I told her. She wiped her tears with her sleeve as she laughing.

"Mavis, do not move." Hermione warned me. I froze myself, not making any single movement. "Is it a giant troll at my back?" She nodded, her face was pale. Slowly I take my wand and facing the troll.

"Stupefy!" I pushed Hermione into the toilet room. Spell after spell, troll still not knocked out. "Damn it!" I hide myself in the toilet, next to Hermione. Both of us shouting, looking for someone to help us.

"Help!" Both of me and Hermione shouted. Troll keep on smashing the toilet which make Hermione and I to move to next one. Think Mavis, think! "Hermione! Mavis!" It's Harry's voice. Troll swinged its club which destroy entirely the toilets. Hermione was panicked and I accidentally cast shield charm. "How did you do that?" Hermione asked. "I don't know! Not a right time to ask about it! Now, hide under the sink!" Both of run and hide under the sink. Both of us shout, scared to death.

"Dad! I need you," I cried. Harry and Ron throwing the pieces of wood to the troll's head. "Do something you two!" Hermione instructed them. The troll smashed the sink behind me which cause me to cry more harder. Hermione try to calm me down.

Harry and Ron tried their best to distract the troll. They yelling and throwing metal pipes to the troll to gain its attention. "Oy, pea-brain!" Ron yelled, throwing metal pipes to troll's head. Its turn, giving Ron ugly snout.

Harry was at the troll's neck. The troll turn around, looking for Harry who was at its neck. Harry looks like riding a bull. Once the troll caught Harry by his leg, Harry successfully dodging its club. "Do something!" Harry keep on dodging every swinged club whenever troll tried to smash him. "Swish and flick, Ron!" Hermione instructed.

"Wingardium Leviosa," Ron swish and flick his wand. At the same time, I casted the stunning spell to the troll. Its club knocked its head really hard which make the troll knocked out. Harry rise onto his feet and take his wand off from troll's nose. "Eww," Hermione disgusted.

"Urgh - troll boogers." Harry wiped it on the troll's trousers.

A sudden slamming and loud footstep made the four of us look up. We hadn't realized what a racket we had been making, but of course, someone downstairs must have heard the crashes and the troll's roars. A moment later, McGonagall had come bursting into the room, closely followed by dad, with Quirrell bringing up the rear.

At the moment I saw dad's furious face, I was losing my consiousness. My sight start to blank as I was going to faint. "Mavis!" Dad caught me from falling on the floor. All I heard was dad's voice. I don't know what's happening next after this.
