Potter's Sister

facts and feathers

Professor Flitwick is standing on a bunch of books so he could see all the students, but more like the students could see him. "One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers?" Hermione raises her feather, "Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmmm? The swish and flick. Everyone." Professor Flitwick instructed. "The swish and flick." All the students and Professor Flitwick say. "Good. And enuciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then." Professor Flitwick instructed.

The class began to emunicate and doing the movements on their feather, "Wendgardium Leviosa." Hope said as she did the swish and flick, the feather still not moving. She tried again but got distracted by Hermione and Ron fighting, "Stop, stop, stop. You're going to poke someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's levi-O-sa, not levio-SA." Hermione said to Ron.

Ron turned his head towards her, "You do it then if you're so clever. Go on, go on." Ron said pushing Hermione to do the spell. Hermione straightens up and swishes her wand, "Wengardium Leviosa." Hermione said soon the feather lifts up, and she starts guiding it with her wand. "Oh, well done! See here, everyone! Ms. Granger's done it! Oh, splendid." Mr. Flitwick cheered. Ron puts his head on his books dejectedly. "Can you show me how to do that?' Hope asked Hermione. "Of course." She said as she begins teaching Hope. "Now remember, swish and flick." Hermione said making a swish and flick motion with her hand.

"Wengardium Leviosa." Hope said as she did a swish and flick, the feather started to rise and follow the movements of her wand. "You did it!" Hermione cheered as she gave Hope a hug. "Thank you, mione." Hope said to Hermione.  An explosion goes off, Flitwick gasps, as Hermione, Ron, and Hope turn to the source of the explosion. Seamus is charred again with his feather smoldering in ashes.

"Again Seamus, really?" Hope said in disbelief. It definetly wasn't the first time Seamus got all charred up. "i think we're going to need another feather over here, Professor." Harry said with half his face charred. 

-------------------------------------------------------

Neville, Harry, Ron, Seamus, and Hope are walking through the courtyard with other students all around them, Ron was mimicking Hermione. "It's Leviooooosa, not Leviosaaaaa. She's a nightmare, honeslty. No wonder she hasn't got any friends." Hope looked at Ron, "She has me you, dimbo." Hope said to Ron. Hermione rushes past Ron, hugging her books and sniffiling in tears as she pushes into him. "I think she heard you." Harry said obviously. "No, duh." Hope said as she left the group of boys and ran after Hermione. "Hermione! Wait. Don't listen to Ron he's a bloody idiot." Hope said running after her.

Hermione walked into the girls bathroom crying, Hope walked in, "He's an idiot Mione." Hope said trying to calm her best friend. She leaned onto Hope as she cried more, Hope gave her a big hug. "Let it out. We don't have to go to dinner, either if you don't want too." Hope told her. "I don't want to see Ron." Hermione stated sadly. "Lets stay in here. We can talk or cry or laugh." Hope said trying to cheer her up. "All three." Hermione said. "Okay." Hope said with a smile. 

The girls were still in the bathroom talking and laughing. Hermione went into one of the stalls to blow her nose, "Uh, Hermione. We have a problem." Hope said walking backwards to the stall. Hermione emerges from the stall, also seeing the troll. Hope pushes Hermione back into the stall as both of them stand there scared. 

The troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. The girls scream and get on the floor crawling to the other side. Ron and Harry run into the girls bathroom, "Hermione, Hope, move!" Harry yells to them. The troll smashes the remaining part of the stalls as the girls scream again.

The boys start throwing pieces of wood at the troll, "Hey, pea brain!" Ron yelled, he chucked a piece of wood and it hits the trolls on the head. Hermione and Hope escape from the stalls to under the sinks, but the troll sees them and goes to smash them. It cracks the sink and barely misses Hermione. Harry cringes, "Ahhh." Hermione yelled. "Help!" Hope yelled again.

Harry gets his wand out and he runs forward and grabs the troll's club, and is lifted up. "Whoaa! Whoa, whoa!" Harry yells as he's thrown around, he landed on the troll's head, and is hurled forward, then back, and his wand shoots up the troll's nose. "Ew." Ron says. 

Ron, Hermione, and Hope are disgusted by Harry's wand in the troll's nose. The troll snorts, and whips around. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Harry yells again. The troll gets Harry off his head and is holding him by one leg, upside down. "Do something!" Harry yells. The troll gears up his club and swipes Harry. Harry pulls himself up, then down. The troll swipes again. "What?!" Ron yells again. "Anything! Hurry up!" Harry yells to Ron again.

Ron grabs his wand. Under the sink, Hermione waves her hand. "Swish and flick!" Hermione and Hope yelled at the same time. Ron correctly punctuating the words, "Wingardium Leviosa!" Flick. The club is lifted out of the troll's hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks up, confused, just as the club comes crashing back down. "Cool." Ron said. It hit the troll's head that hard and the troll wavers, then drops Harry, who crawls away, and slowly comes crashing down, knocking him out. Hermione and Hope approche carefully, "Is it dead?" Hope asked her brother. "I don't think so. Just knocked out." Harry said, he grabs his wand that was covered in boogers. "Ew, troll boogers." Ron said grossed out. Harry wipes his wand off on his robes. Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell come rushing in. They all gasp at the knocked out troll.

"Oh! Oh, my goodness! E-explain yourselves, both of you!" McGonagall said to the boys. "Well, what it is.." Ron and Harry started to say before Hope cut them off, "It's my fault, Professor McGonagall." The teachers, Ron, Harry, and Hermione looked at her. "Miss Potter?" McGonagall asked.

"I went looking for the troll. Earlier, Hermione was reading about trolls and I thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry, Ron, and Hermione hadn't come looking for me... I'd probably be dead." Hope said taking the blame for her friends and brother. "Being that as it may be.. it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behavior on your part, Miss Potter. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgement." McGonagall says then turns to Hermione and the boys, "As for you three, I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points... will be rewarded to each of you. For sheer dumb luck." McGonagall says to them. Snape and McGonagall leave the bathroom, "Perhaps you ought to go.. M-might wake up.. heh." Quirrell says. The four leave the bathroom and walk back to the Gryffindor common room through the corridor, "Good for you to get us out of trouble like that." Harry told his sister. "Mind you, I mean, we did save their life" Ron said. "We wouldn't of needed saving if you hadn't insulted Hermione." Hope said to Ron. Hermione looks at Ron, "What are friends for?" They both smile at each ither as they carry on through the corridor.
