The Hufflepuff Princess

The Spotted Sky

I gone down to congratulate Harry after his first big win. Harry Potter's smile was beaming at his whole team. Then Oliver Wood saw me. He shoved Harry that way he knew what was happening. Harry quickly turned around and saw me. He ran over to me, still his smile beaming.

"Hey Y/n!" Harry said with excitement. "Hey Harry!" I said back. "You did amazing for your first game" Harry smiled and then, ran to his close friends, Ron and Hermione. I saw the whole Gryffindor Quidditch team. I waved to them as they waved back to me. They were my idols. I loved Quidditch. My father told me amazing stories about Quidditch. Mostly, about James Potter.

That night when everyone was trying to
sleep, rain was pouring down on Hogwarts so hard! In my common room I could hear Hufflepuffs laughing and chatting about the rain. "Psst!" a strange whisper said to me. "Hey Y/n!" the strange voice said again. I rose up from my bed and turned to see, Hannah Abbott. "Can you not wake me up?" I said to Hannah.

"Oh! Oh! Poor Princess!" said Hannah in a whiney voice. She laughed at me and then turned to see Filch. "What are ye' doing?" he said to Hannah. Hannah nearly almost had a panic attack. "Sir, the rain!" Hannah said almost tearing up from Filch. I grabbed Hannah's hand to tell her it was alright and that Filch wasn't scary at all. Filch pointed at me and said "Princess, I need you!" I let go of Hannah's hand and got up for Filch.

Filch touched my shoulder and let me outside. Mrs. Norris was sitting at some steps near by. She did not want to get wet at all. Filch pointed at the sky. I didn't understand what he had meant. "Filch" I said confused. Filch turned to me immediately and answered back. "Yes?" Filch said eagerly. "What are we doing out in the rain sir?" I asked him. Filch stood there in the rain silent. He looked at me up and down. Then, Dumbledore came.

"Filch in the castle!" shouted Dumbledore. Filch limped away and grabbed Mrs. Norris along the way too. I looked at Dumbledore in the eyes. He looked nervous or was just concerned, I couldn't really tell. "Are you alright?" Dumbledore asked me calmly. "Yes" I replied. Dumbledore led me into the castle and into Mcgonagall's office.

Mcgonagall our her hands on her mouth as if something bad had happened. I knew Filch did something bad. Mcgonagall raced to Dumbledore and then, they started to talk. They looked at me and covered their mouths several times. Then finally, Dumbledore left. "Princess are you ok?" asked Mcgonagall. I nodded quickly and replied back. "Professor, what did Filch do?" I asked Mcgonagall. I needed an answer. What did Filch do? How could I help?

Mcgonagall looked at me. She was nervous, I hated that. I looked at the ground. Mcgonagall then said, "Filch was trying to show you the sky" I looked at Mcgonagall confused. "The sky?" I said kinda rudely. My Professor nodded. "The sky was dangerous" Mcgonagall said. "It was spotted" Was I misunderstanding something? How could a spotted sky be dangerous?

"How could it be dangerous?" I asked Mcgonagall. Mcgonagall got up and pulled down a long poster. It did, indeed, show a spotted sky. "This sky can act very fast" Mcgonagall said trying to explain. "It can shoot it's stars at anything very, very, fast"  She gulped and then went on again. "Even though it is rare, it can happen" Mcgonagall said. She bent down and rolled up the poster. "And that's why Filch is in trouble" The Professor said at last.

I understood Mcgonagall very clearly. It's just why would Filch do this? I knew he was weird and all it's just...Why? I looked at Mcgonagall and then I finally said, "Wicked"
