Here is my new story and I hope you like it. It was an idea which came to me and I haven't yet decided how it will pan out. Please read and review love Moon x
The troll collapsed as they breathed a sigh of relief and Professors McGonagall and Flitwick entered both gasping at the scene before them. "Explain yourselves at once!" McGonagall thundered shocked as Harry was actually the one who answered.
"Well if things had gone better I might not have had to save the damn day. I didn't sign up for this! Hermione was a pain in the ass in class condescending to everyone who didn't get the spell right the first time like she did which is not good. She mocked everyone about the pronunciation of the spell and while I understand it's not good to get it wrong Professor Flitwick is there for a reason. We have him to tell us we're wrong we don't need her as well. That stress is not something anyone needs. Then Ron was a jackass as he told us within earshot of her she'd never have friends because she is a nightmare. She then reacted and came here to the toilet to cry about it when the troll came in here. We left the feast and I had to force him to join me. She didn't know about the troll and shouldn't be made to suffer needlessly even if she was a pain in the ass all day!" he snapped before taking a deep breath and then continuing as he was far from finished ranting.
"The truth is they both suck and none of them will ever have friends if they continue like this. I already spent my childhood living with jackasses I didn't expect to find them here as well. It is not my job to pick up the damn pieces when people screw up. I mean really! Hagrid told me this was the best, safest school and because he's lovely I believed him but I don't think so now. Safe my arse. Why was there a troll here in the first place? You know what I'd rather suffer abuse at the Dursley house then stay here another minute where realistically I could die at any moment. Also while we're on the subject of dangerous I have no idea what happened to Professor Snape in his youth and I don't care to know either but him taking whatever it is out on me constantly is unacceptable. I did nothing to warrant that treatment. I should have been in Slytherin but asked the hat not to put me there because that jackass there said that only evil people go to Slytherin. Also who in the hell stressed us all out by telling him we'd need to face a troll to get sorted when that wasn't the case. I mean I faced one now but why? You better answer me as well I am so sick of this!" he said exploding in rage as McGonagall looked shocked to the core.
He was blunt and direct to the point so much so that it unnerved her slightly but he was right and that was a hard pill to swallow. She straightened herself.
"We will get to that momentarily as I am sure Minerva will deal with things in her own way. As for you Miss Granger, well you will serve detention with me for assuming you know better then I do. It is my class and I will teach it as I fit. I am honestly proud that you did so well but telling others they did not is always bad. You should be most ashamed. Now Ronald we do not ever say bad things like that against another student because who knows what would have happened. She is very lucky that Harry here thinks so well on his feet otherwise she might have died and I can see that you did not think of this. You will serve detention with me also and be prepared as it will involve charms which will last twenty four hours. After this we will see how you feel about the other person. Both of you apologise at once to Harry. Harry I award you twenty five points for the excellent execution of a spell well learned in class!" said Professor Flitwick as Ron and Hermione both had the good sense to look ashamed.
Ron looked truly terrified. He'd not considered Hermione could die and he was terrified he'd be the cause of it. He never wanted anyone to die. Yes she was a pain in the ass but he didn't want her to die. Hermione really couldn't understand the situation.
"I'm sorry professor but I will not die because someone pronounces a spell the wrong way. It could have been so dangerous. As demonstrated by the presence of a troll here this evening clearly I need to protect myself always even in class. He was being totally reckless and waving his wand all around the place like a lunatic and pronouncing it all wrong. Am I just supposed to sit there and risk danger before you even see he has a problem? I mean you can't be everywhere at once and pardon me for saying so but your height is also a problem. You need a large platform where you may walk the length of your classroom safely and then be able to see everyone normally. I don't mean to insult you sir it's just I really love charms class but hate that people like Ronald Weasley make that class dangerous!" she said bursting into tears as this defied logic. To be honest Professor Flitwick was astounded.
"Miss Granger you are right about one thing. I cannot see everyone all the time so I will be getting a platform for myself. I had already arranged it and it arrives next week. You must understand that every student is here to learn and it's my job to see to it that it is done safely. I do so knowing that not everyone will get it right first like you did. This is because people will do like Ronald did and I need to always be sure no harm can come to people when learning spells so I teach the harder spells differently. It was a levitation spell and nothing could have gone wrong except him singeing his feather. Please relax and for your information we don't know how the troll got in here but we fully intend to investigate and destroy the beast. I will be removing ten points from Gryffindor for your cheek and I would advise you to quit while you are ahead!" he said sternly as she sobered up at the point loss feeling completely defeated.
Professor McGonagall watched the scene unfolding before her and couldn't believe one of her prized students was behaving in such a fashion. "Miss Granger you are if I'm honest one of the Brightest Gryffindor's here at the moment and your attitude both surprises and appalls me. In Gryffindor you are expected to be brave and bravery means trusting people to do the right thing. No one would ever intentionally put you in danger and I am dismayed you would think so. You were raised better then that and Ronald Weasley's actions do not count as he was being extremely foolish. No one who counts in authority would ever put you in danger. Ronald you should watch how you speak about people as you never know who is listening or not listening as it were. I have heard you numerous times and I am ashamed of you. Yes she has been overbearing but she will outgrow that I am sure. Apologise to her at once and then Miss Granger you may apologise to everyone. I will not write home to your parents but one more slip up young lady and I will and that goes for you too Ronald. Molly and I are friends and she would not like to hear about what you are doing!" she snapped making them both jump.
They quickly apologised to one another not wanting to face her wrath.
"Harry I am deeply sorry you had to go through this and I can safely say it will not happen again. If you wish to leave I may not stop you but I would seriously advise you to continue your education here with us. You may be surprised to know that you are not the first person to tell me about this problem Professor Snape has with you in his classes and so in light of that I am granting you permission to have a private potions tutor. He will examine and correct all your work. As we don't know the extent of Professor Snape's problems it is best to simply remove you from his class. I believe that if he has problems beyond this he will truly slip up one day on his own and I will be waiting for that day. As of this morning all points given and taken away in his class are being re-examined and any taken for an unreasonable reason have been reapplied to those houses. I will be announcing it later but I can safely say that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw each gained sixty points. Slytherin gained twenty and Gryffindor gained one hundred. It would seem he is not above taking points for silly reasons from his own house either. I know of a way to track spells on things as we learn this all the time in Transfigurations and I will be finding the person responsible for this and they will pay severely!" she snapped as Harry looked up at her in awe.
"Furthermore Mr Potter I award you twenty points for the cool use of intellect when others were in danger. You put others before yourself and never sought glory which is wonderful. Please don't continue to refer to Mr Weasley as a donkey although he did behave like one today. I implore you to give this school one more chance and then if things haven't improved we will come to a solution which suits us all. Go to your dormitory's all of you and Madam Pomfrey will be up to give you all thorough examinations as I can see from your files it hasn't been done yet as she's not yet through with all the first years!" she ordered as they all left and headed upstairs. She was if she was honest shocked at Harry's outburst. Because he'd lived with Dursley's and endured them he was more mature for his age and clearly wise beyond his years. This would be interesting for sure.
