Hermione's Twin Sister

swish and flick

It's the next morning and Hermione has yet again woken Harriet up,really early. "Hermy! I WANT SLEEP!!" Harriet yelled in a sleepy voice.

   "And I want you to get up!" Hermione said laughing. "Come on get up." She finally got up and they went to charms class. Instead of almost half and hour early we were 10 minutes early.

   "That's progress, I guess. Good job Hermy." Harriet said then patted her sister on the back. Hermione smiled and we went to our seats... Sadly they were assigned seats and I wasn't with Hermione, but I had Harry so at least it isn't a stranger.

   "One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers? Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone!" We all said swish and flick. "Say Wingardium Leviosa and off you go."

   "Wingardium Leviosa" Harriet and Hermione both said and succeeded at levitating the feather.

   "Oh, well done! See here, everyone, both Ms. Granger  and Ms. Granger have done it."

   Professor Flitwick congratulated us and then Seamus somehow made the feather go boom. Seamus is covered in soot again and Harry says, "I think we need another feather over here, professor."

   Hermione and Harriet were walking through the court yard when we heard "It's Levioosa, not Leviosaar. She's a nightmare, honestly. No wonder she hasn't got any friends!" Hermione then sped past him.

   "I think she heard you." Harry told Ron.

   "Oh really! And for your information I am Hermione's friend. So why don't you shut up and stop talking about her! You bully!" Harriet yelled at him then ran past making sure to bump into a shoulder really hard. "Hermione! Where did you go!?" She eventually found her in the girls bathroom and stayed with her untill she stopped crying, "If you want I could beat him up. I know how to and he deserves it."

   "No Harriet it's fine. I just thought that, after last night they would want to be my friends. I guess I was wrong." Hermione said crying some more.

   "Hey look at me... You are Hermione Jean Granger, bookworm know-it-all extraordinaire. If he does not see how amazingly smart you are, he does not deserve to be your friend." Harriet may not be good with emotions but she tries and she reads psychology books to try and figure out the mind better so that she can help in these situations.

   "You're right Harriet! I think I'm okay now. Let's go back... Maybe we can still get dinner." But as they left they saw a troll and backed up into the stall again. When the troll smashed part of the stall they both screamed.

   "Hermione, Harriet move!" Harry and Ron were throwing wood at it. The girls weren't paying attention to them though just screaming for help and trying to avoid the troll. Harry shoved his wand up the trolls nose. "Ew!" Everyone agreed was a great response to that. "Whoa, whoa, do something!... Anything hurry!" Harry yelled as the troll kept trying to hit him.

   "Swish and flick!" Hermione yelled at Ron when he grabbed his wand. Ron correctly did Wingardium Leviosa and the troll went down "is it... dead?"

   "Just knocked out. It's still breathing." Harriet told them, "well, that was fun... Let's never do it again!"

   Then the professors come in... "Oh.. oh, my goodness. Explain!" McGonagall spoke.

   The boys were trying and failing to come up with an explanation. "It's my fault professor McGonagall." Hermione said. "I went looking for the troll, I read about them and I thought I could handle it. Harriet told me not to but I didn't listen. She came with me to protect me but if Harry and Ron didn't show up we would probably be dead." Harriet couldn't believe that Hermione covered for them, but she went along with her sister.

   "Well that may be but it was extremely foolish to do." Harry and Harriet notice Snape has a large cut on his leg, but he covered it up before they got a good look at it. "I would have expected more rational behavior on your part Ms. Granger. Five points taken from Gryffindor for lack of judgement." She turns to Harriet and the boys. "You three got lucky, not many students can take on a fully grown troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points awarded to each of you. And Ms. Granger, Harriet I understand your need to protect your sister but next time please tell a professor."

   "Yes professor, sorry professor McGonagall." Harriet said looking down.

   They were walking down the hallways to the tower, "good for you to get us out of trouble like that." Harry said to Hermione.

   "Mind you we did save her and her sisters lives." Ron spoke.

   "We wouldn't have needed saving if you didn't insult her!" Harriet said the same time Harry told Ron, "they wouldn't have needed saving if you didn't insult Hermione." "Glad we're on the same page Potter." Harriet said to him then they laughed.

   "What are friends for?" Ron asked looking at Hermione, they smiled at each other.

   "See!? I'm not the only one who sometimes insults my friends!" Harriet yelled making them all laugh.
