The Döppelganger Witch

" I swear this isn't fair ", Ella complains while watching Ron and Hermione walking off to the school Gates .

" Didn't you hear your Uncles ?", Harry asks sounding a bit irritated .

" Well, yeah , I did , but it's still unfair ", Ella says sulkily  .

" Well ,then get over it ", Harry grumbles ," let's just go back to our common room , we can catch up on homework or something ".

Ella's eyes widens " Homework ?!", she whisper yells as to not attract too many attention from anyone ," are you serious ? , It's Halloween , if I was in America I'd be trick or treating with my Uncle Stefan walking three feet behind me so I won't be getting hurt or something, can't we do something fun ?".

" Like what?", Harry hisses ," watch those dumb first and second years play exploding snap or wizarding chess ?, No ,thanks ".

Ella bites her tongue as they walk back to the common room .He was taking his irritation out on her .It wasn't fair .

" Fortuna Major ", Harry says listlessly when they reach the Fat Lady's portrait .

" Do we really have to be here , can't we go visit Hedwig and Ebony ?", Ella asks when they climb through the hole .

Harry doesn't answer because the next moment a second year boy calls " Harry!, Harry! ,Hi Harry !", and Ella can see that Harry was about to explode .

Colin Creevey  was one of those happy perky persons .

For a mere moment he reminded Ella of Elena's friend Caroline Forbes .

" Aren't you going to Hogsmeade ,Harry?, Why not Harry?", Colin babbled eagerly ," Hey, you can come and sit with us if you like ,Harry ".

" Er...no thanks ,Colin ,Ella and I have just thought of going to the library , got loads of homework , see you ".

Before Ella can so much as protest she is grabbed by the hand and pulled out of the common room again .

The Fat Lady wasn't quite happy with them about that , she'd just settled in for a nice nap .

" Slow down , Harry ," Ella protests when Harry begins walking quickly on the opposite direction of the library ,but he ignores her while dragging her by the hand . She has to  jog to keep up with him .

" Harry, stop!", she calls when they finally get to the front door and find Filch the caretaker, who'd seen everyone who had permission to go to Hogsmeade off,  still there .

" What are you two doing here ?!", Filch barks looking at them as if they'd just thrown Dungbombs around .

" Nothing ", Harry and Ella chorus , quickly , too quickly because Filch seems quite angry as he glares  at them .

" Nothing ?", he snorts ," I'll show you nothing , why aren't you in Hogsmeade buying Stink Pellets , Belching Powder and Whizzing Worms like the rest of your nasty little friends ?!".

" We don't have permission ", Ella answers while Harry shrugs .

" Well, off with you then , to your common room where you belong !", Filch snaps .

The two of them have no choice but to walk away until they're out of sight of Filch's prying eyes .

" Oooh ,I hate him ", Ella says passionately .

" Yeah , me too , I wish I could kick him where the sun don't shine ", Harry growls .

They were walking down another corridor now that would obviously not lead them back to the Gryffindor  common  room .
