The Granger Twins

Chapter 5

"One of a wizards' most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly. Do you have your feathers?" Hermione holds her up to show him. Good, now don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practising, swish and flick." we all copied his movements. "Swish and flick." Good, good, and enunciate. Winguardium Leviosa." "Off you go then." I noticed Ron waving his wand wildly. "Stop, stop, stop, you're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong, it's LeviOsa, not LevioSA." said Hermione. "You do it then of your so clever." By then I got annoyed by his behaviour towards my sister, so I tried the spell. Winguardium Leviosa." we said at the same time and the class watched as our feathers went higher and higher. "Oh well done, see here everyone, Miss Granger and Miss Granger have done it, splendid." Ron rolled his eyes and put his head down on the stack of books he had. "I think we're going to need another feather over here, Professor." Said Harry, as Seamus's feather had blown up next to him.

"It's Levioosa, not Leviosaa. She's a nightmare, honestly, no wonder she hasn't got any friends." Ron says, mocking her. She roughly pushed past him, and I noticed a tear run down her cheek. "I think she heard you." Harry said. "I'll show you a nightmare." I muttered darkly. "I might be gone for a while, my overprotective twin side is coming out." Fred nods while George gives me a look that says go on. "Three words, Ronald, Hermione, tears." I have a go at Ron and then Effie pops up from behind me and has a go at him too. I spend the rest of the day cheering her up and bonding with her. Effie and Evie had come in with me but left after missing a class period. She then told me to go to the feast and I left, albeit very reluctantly. When I got there I took a seat next to the twins and Lee. "Where were you?" "I was with my twinster* "Your who?" "Twin sister, I combined the words." They nodded in understanding and I looked at the table. There were all sorts of sweets and a bigger variety of pumpkin foods and. I took out a Ziploc bag and sneakily filled it up with an assortment of the sweets. We didn't really get sweets, growing up with dentists and all. I looked up and saw floating pumpkins all over the room. "Where's Hermione?" "She doesn't want to come out of the girl's bathroom." I had just finished my dinner when Quirrell burst into the room. TROLL—IN THE DUNGEONS— thought you ought to know. Then he fainted. Wait a minute, you don't faint forward. The Hall erupted into screams and people running around. "SILENCE!" Dumbledore roared and the entire Hall went quiet, nearly everyone stopped and turned to him. "Everyone will please not panic, Prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories, teachers follow me to the dungeons." "You two, come with me." harry nods in understanding, but Ron just looks confused. "Hermione doesn't know." We creep around and see the troll enter the bathroom. I think the trolls' left the dungeon. We hear it roar and Hermione scream. I take off after it before either of them could stop me.  "Hermione move!" I shout. I creep over to pull her out and the boys notice, so they throw rubble at it to distract. I manage to pull her out just as Ron shouts. "Hey, peabrain!" it turns around as we try to run, so we slide under the sinks. She goes to crawl under the next one, but I pull her back just as he smashes it. "Help!" we shout. Harry takes out his wand and runs at the troll, latching onto the club, only to get swung around to land on its head. He holds on as the troll tries to get him off and ends up sticking his wand up its nose. Harry got picked up off of the trolls' head and was about to be got with the club. So something." harry shouted at Ron. Hermione and I were inching our way to the door when Ron asked a question. "What?" Anything." Harry replied as he moved his head to avoid getting hit. Hurry up!" Swish and flick." She said, whilst demonstrating. "Winguardium Leviosa!" Ron says, doing the spell correctly this time. The club floats above the troll's head before falling and knocking it out. We moved the rest of the way out from under the sinks and slowly approach them. "Is it, dead?" she asks when we go over there. "I don't think so, just knocked out." Harry responds. Harry takes his wand out of its nose and we groan in disgust. Ugh, troll bogeys." Then the teachers come running in. McGonagall looks shocked at the scene before her. Explain yourselves, both of you." "Remain calm Selena, I'm about to do something shocking."Hermione told me. I nodded slightly, enough that she could notice, but not enough for the teachers to notice. It's my fault, Professor McGonagall, I went looking for the troll, I've read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong, of Harry, Ron, and Selena hadn't come and found me, I'd probably be dead." The boys quickly tried to look as if it wasn't the first time they'd heard the story. I then look around at the teachers and notice that professor Snape has an open gash with blood dripping out of it. I start to pale, and he quickly covers it. "Be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part and I am very disappointed in you Ms Granger. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment." she bows her head in shame. "As for you three, I just hope you realize how fortunate you are, not many first-year students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points will be awarded to each of you for sheer dumb luck." "Perhaps you ought to go, it might wake up." we left the bathroom and then harry spoke. Good of you to get us out of trouble like that." "Good for you, we did save her life." Ron said which caused Hermione and me to roll our eyes. "Mind you, she might not have needed saving if you hadn't insulted her." "What are friends for?" I immediately felt her brighten, as the biggest smile I've ever seen appeared on her face.
