Laughs don't last forever

Chapter four: The Troll

The week went by quickly and today was Friday. I woke up late and it was nearly 8:30! I dressed quickly and went down to the grand hall. There was a seat saved for me next to Draco. "About time! I thought I was gonna have to go get you! You know I was gonna go to the library and study but I waited for you." He said matter-of-factly. "My hero!" I said in a teasing tone while hugging him from behind. My light brown hair covered his pale face and he struggled to make me let go of him.

I grabbed a bagel and we walked to the astronomy tower (that was where our next class was).  We were early, the first ones there we went to the edge of the tower and looked at the beautiful view.

Our classes today were with the gryffindors. Astronomy passed by quickly but charms was very fun today! I got partnered with Seamus Finnigan and we had to make a feather float. He somehow made the feather explode! Hermione was the first one to make her feather float, followed by Ron (who was her partner) then Draco and then Harry the only ones who couldn't make their feather float by the end of the class were Seamus and Neville.

During lunch Draco was staring at someone in the gryffindor table. I think it was Harry but I couldn't see. I think he wants to talk to Harry because he always talks about him to Crabbe and Goyle. The mail came a bit late today but I wasn't going to get anything so it's fine. Malfoy was brought some special chocolate frogs and Neville got a remembrall.

After lunch we began to make our way to our Flying class with Madam Hooch. Draco was very excited for this class (he hasn't stopped talking about this class), so I was kind of excited as well.

When we got there there were brooms laying on the floor parallel to each other. Dean was about to grab one when Madam Hooch shouted, "DO NOT TOUCH THOSE BROOMS!... Now everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up." Everyone practically ran to a broomstick. "Stick your right hand over your broom and say Up." she instructed the class. Everyone shouted "UP" but only a few brooms rose (Draco, Harry, Dean, Pansy, Blaise, And mine. Ron's broom flew up but  hit him in the face because he didn't catch it.)

The class continued to shout "Up" until there were no brooms left on the floor. "Now when I blow my whistle, you kick off the ground, hard... Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet and then come straight back down by leaning forwards slightly. On My whistle - three - two-" she paused right before shouting, "COME BACK BOY!"  she was talking about Neville Longbottom, he was like 30 feet up in the air! Then all of a sudden he fell off the broom and I was too scared to look so I made my way to Hermione.

Out of nowhere there was a sudden burst of laughter. " Did you see his face!" Of course it was Malfoy speaking. I was about to tell him to stop but I was interrupted by Parvati Patil, "Shut up, Malfoy" "Sticking up for Longbottom? Never thought that you'd like-" Pansy replied but got cut off by Harry."Give it here Malfoy!" He shouted. Draco had wandered off and grabbed... Neville's remembrall (He was walking back with it, I don't think he was going to keep it because when Harry told him to give it back he looked a bit hurt). 

Out of nowhere Malfoy flew up with his broom (almost as high as Neville had gone before he fell off but) Draco was in complete control. "Come and get it!" Draco said in a tone I'd never heard him use before. Harry flew up and I couldn't really see much after that.

Draco came down after a while (he had a smile across his face and this sparkle in his eyes, he was even a bit blushed. He stopped smiling almost as soon as he came down but the sparkle in his eyes was still there) and Harry also came down but about 50 yards away with the remembrall in his hands, he also had a sparkle in his eyes but it wasn't the same, he looked like he had won over the world and all of gryffindor began to cheer (I also started cheering).

"POTTER! Follow me!" we were all shocked to see Mcgonagall calling Harry. Everyone was frozen after Harry left. Pansy, Carbbe and Goyle however began to smile and tried to start cheering but they stopped once they noticed Malfoy wasn't happy about this. Everyone stood there until the bell rang and we were dismissed for the day.

Hermione wanted to go to the nursery wing to visit Neville (I wanted to go to but I forgot my Charms book and when I came back to where Hermione was waiting for me, Hermione was gone). I decided to go to the library instead, to finish my charms essay which took longer than I would have thought by the time I finished it was time for dinner. 

When I got there I sat next to Draco who was still looking shocked(Even though Harry was still here, he didn't get expelled). I was looking for Hermione when professor Quirell ran in and shouted, "TROLL IN THE DUNGEONS!" Everyone was freaking out before Dumbledore sent us all to our common rooms. I didn't see Hermione sitting at the gryffindor table so I don't think she was there. I tried to go and find her but Malfoy grabbed me from the arm and he dragged me to our common rooms.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed! Do you know how fast it would squash you!" Draco screamed with panic in his voice. "I was trying to find Hermione because she's missing!" I screamed back. We sat there in silence until it was dawn. I was hoping that Hermione was fine.
