Random fun fact about me: I'm a Gryffindor with a hint of Slytherin and Hufflepuff. I'm basically a Gryffindor with Slytherin Rising(like Harry) since I have a bit more Slytherin traits than Hufflepuff. I'm NOT a Ravenclaw because I never study, sleep in class sometimes, always talking, not paying attention.

You’re a true Gryffindor, but outwardly to others you’re seen more as a Slytherin. The Sorting Hat wasn’t wrong to place you in Gryffindor, but you do have some qualities of Slytherin. For instance, you have a go-getter attitude and are naturally ambitious. You’re respectful to others always and expect your true friends to remain loyal to you. Your outward Gryffindor makes you fit to guide and lead as well as show your inner strength when you need it most. With these traits combined, people see you as trustworthy, open-minded, and determined.

As Penny and I dragged the large werewolf leader back, a baby Acromantula came out of nowhere and begin to follow us. As we were about to get out of the forrest, I stopped and walked towards the baby Acromantula. "mc, stop! You're going to get yourself hurt!" Penny scolded me while I slowly extended my hand out to pet her. I pat her head and she seems to like it, so I kept patting her. "Penny, come and pet her with me!" I begged and finally with a sigh, she said "If you insist." while talking to the baby Acromantula and petting it with me, leaving Greyback in the dust. "Awww, Pen, can we keep her?" I asked with my puppy eyes. "Urghhhhh. You know that I can't say no when you make that face." Penny groaned, but allowed me to keep it with one condition. I had to study with her in the library, which made me stop in my tracks. "Penny! You know that I suck at studying!" I whined but she said "It's fine if you don't want to do it, but you'll have to leave the Acromantula here if you don't." Penny told me while smirking. "Fine, Deal!" I yelled as I went back to where the unconcious Fenrir Greyback was and begin dragging him back again. "You better be worth it." I thought to myself bitterly while Penny stared at me, shocked that I agreed.

Penny:

When we arrived back at Hogwarts, all the professors and the students were frozen by shock(we hid the baby Acromantula in mc's dorm). In the middle of the hallway, was the murder of many children and the one who turned many of them into what he is, a werewolf. Professor Sprout immediately went to call the werewolf unit while the rest of the teachers stood a few feet away from greyback. Madam Pince urged the student to leave except for Mc and I and after a few minutes later, only the professors are left besides us. The werewolf unit came with some people from the ministry and while the werewolf unit took Fenrir Greyback, the people from the ministry talked to the professors and Headmaster Dumbledore before questioning mc and I. Once they finished questioning us, we were allowed to leave and while we left, mc lifted his arms and put their hands on the back of their head before saying "Today's been a long day, huh." Thank goodness we managed to hide the baby Acromantula away from everyone else. As we were about to go to Mc's dorm, Professor Mcgonagall came to us and announced that we'll be getting an award for defeating Fenrir and saving the students from future attacks. We both said our thanks and after she left, we immediately went to Mc's dorm.

Mc:

Penny and I hid the baby Acromantula in my dorm before everyone saw Greyback. While we were hiding it, Rowan saw it and freaked out. They almost screamed but I quickly used my hand to cover their mouth. After that, we explained what happened to Rowan and they calmed down after they realized that it won't harm anyone(yet). They agreed to babysit it while Penny and I are gone. I thanked them before leaving and after everything that's happened, we're going back to my dorm to check on them both. On the way back, I suddenly remembered, "Pen, I think we should name the baby Acromantula instead of just calling him, Acromantula." "I agree, but what's going to be his name?" Penny asked while we were going up the stairs. "Hmmm, I think you should choose since I suck at naming things." "What about Ragno, since it's french for spider." Penny suggests. "It's decided then. His name is going to be Ragno!" I said cheerfully as we arrived at my dorm. The second I opened the door, I froze. "Mc, why did you st-" Penny suddenly froze too when she saw the inside of my dorm.

Penny:

I stood in shock as I saw spiderwebs all over the room and Rowan trying to catch Ragno. "WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE!?" Mc yelled as they went inside the room full of spiderwebs. I reluctantly went in too. I gasped as everything was covered in spiderwebs and Mc helping Rowan. Almost immediately, it stopped when he saw us. "Rowan, help me clean up!" Mc ordered while cleaning up and scolding Ragno. "I could help you if you want." "Penny, can you help me babysit Ragno for Rowan and I while we're cleaning up. It seems to like you from what I've seen." Rowan was throwing spiderwebs into the trash while looking very tired. Mc noticed this and suggested that they should sleep. Mc immediately cleaned up the web on Rowan's bed and forced them into the bed. "I guess I should take a nap. Wake me up in 5 minutes, Mc." Rowan said before falling sleep a few minutes later. "Let Rowan sleep until they wake up on their own. Rowan's been looking terrible lately, so let them have a good sleep." Mc said while cleaning up the webs.

Mc:

When I finished cleaning, it was late at night and I started to notice that Penny was yawning a bit(Rowan was still sleeping. I guess they were really tired). Beside her, Ragno was sleeping while she was still looking after him. "Penny, I think you should stay the night in my dorm since it's late." She looked at her watch and saw that it was 10pm. "I need to go! I didn't know it was that late already." Penny stood up and was about to leave when I stopped her. "It's getting really late and you should sleep in my dorm since it's very dangerous for someone to go out late at night." I continued to try and persuade her to sleep here and she finally budged. I tucked her into my bed before shutting the lights and sleeping on the floor.
