Chapter One: Hogwarts
At a quarter past 10:00am the Black Family was not even out the door to get their two children off to school. As they were headed out Lucius and his son Draco who decided to travel along with them rudely delayed them, which made them very late. The arrived at Kings Cross with moments to spare.
"Be good," said Regulus to his children," and Lucus keep an eye on your sister. It is only her first year."
"I will," replied Lucus
" Have fun kids and stick together," said Lucius.
All three of them ran to the train and went to get a compartment. Malfoy and her brother decided to sit with some friends of theirs, to whom she greatly disliked so she went to find a compartment by herself. However, they were all full until she spotted one with only two first years in it.
" May I join you?" asked Sierra
" Sure," the two replied. One of the students had flaming red hair and the other was scrawny and had broken glasses.
"Are you a Weasley," Sierra asked the red head.
" Um, yeah how did you know?" the red head asked.
"My dad works with your dad at the ministry sometimes. My dad told me you all had red hair."
" Whose your dad?" asked the black haired boy.
" Oh, Regulus Black. I should probably introduce myself, I'm Sierra Black."
" That's right I heard dad talking about yours quite a lot too. You have a brother named Lucus is it? Oh and I'm Ron and this is my friend Harry Potter.
" Wow Weasley I didn't know you knew so much about the Blacks." Said a drawling voice that Sierra knew too well. " Who knew that someone as famous as Potter would like to hang out with the likes of a Weasley? Apparently there's a rumor going around I believe it somewhat like this. I heard your family sleeps in one room is that right?" Finished Malfoy.
" Leave him alone Malfoy," said Sierra suddenly.
" Well, look who we have here boys my lovely cousin Sierra. Who's sticking up for a blood-traitor."
" You better leave Malfoy," she said angrily.
" Or what." He asked
" Remember what happened to you two years ago?"
Malfoy turned red at that one. However Sierra grinned. The three of them left looking rather grumpy.
"Thanks," said Ron
" No problem, I swear he is the most spoiled brat I've ever met." She said angrily.
" I'm amazed that you handled that so well without the use of your wand." Said Harry.
" I should I had to grow up with that miserable oaf."
A little while after that incident Lucus looked in on Sierra.
" How are things?" He asked.
" Great, I've made two great friends already. This is Harry, and this is Ron. Malfoy already paid his respects."
" What did he do now?" Lucus asked sitting down.
" Picked on Ron and his family. It was a bit annoying actually." She answered.
" Yeah you should have seen her," Ron said. "She was amazing, she was getting angry but didn't use her wand at all. Though I think she was about to when he was getting a little too far."
At that Sierra blushed.
" Well, don't get to many enemies in Slytherin. Almost all our family have been in there and I want to see you in there to." Said her brother.
" What about Gryffindor? Remember mum was one."
" If you are dad would do all he can to get you into Slytherin. I mean when dad told her what he was she panicked and ended up getting herself killed by the Dark Lord himself. Besides, she was a Mudblood." He finished.
" How dare you speak about mum that way! At least she loved us."
" She didn't love us, she loved herself." At that he stalked away leaving the three of them in silence. Sierra was almost in tears.
" That good for nothing brother. I hate my family, when I've been grown up is muggle borns are bad and that we are better than everyone. I hate it! I wish Uncle Sirius was here." She said and sat down beside Harry and took a deep breath.
" Must be rough," said Harry.
" It is, but on the bright side I have you two and I hope we're all in the same house," she said.
"In five minutes we'll be arriving shortly at Hogwarts. Please leave your things on the train they will be brought up to your houses. Thank you."
The three of them took turns changing. Finally they arrived at Hogwarts. The three of them got up and walked out and a big booming voice greeted them.
"FIRST YEARS, FIRST YEARS OVER HERE PLEASE! NO MORE THAN FOUR IN A BOAT!" He shouted. Sierra, Ron, and Harry got into a boat followed by a bushy haired girl.
As they were in sight of Hogwarts castle there were many oo's and ah's. The first years reached the shore and got out of the boat and followed up the marble staircase. A teacher was waiting for them.
" Welcome to Hogwarts. In a few minutes you will walk through these doors and then will be sorted into your houses. The Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Please wait here while I go and see if they are ready for you." she finished.
" I guess my cousin wasn't lying when she said she made friends with Potter." Said Malfoy.
" What do you think she was having Hallucinations Malfoy?" asked Ron.
" She's been known to have them." Answered Malfoy.
" Then what do you want?" asked Harry.
" To warn you about something. You see Potter. There are some wizarding families better than others you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort." He said while he was glaring and Ron and Sierra. " I'll help you there." He finished.
" I think I'm able to tell the wrong sort for myself thanks. Without your help." Said Harry. With that Malfoy walked away.
Short while later the professor came back and told them it was times. News didn't hit Sierra until she walked into the great hall. The professor had them line up along the stage.
" When I call your name come forth and I will place the hat on your head and you will be sorted." She finished.
"Abbott, Hannah!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouted.
"Bones, Susan!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Once again the hat shouted.
"Black, Sierra!" Harry and Ron wished her good luck she could only nod. She slowly sat on the stool and the professor placed the hat on her head. She was waiting for it to say Slytherin. Instead, "interesting very interesting. Not at all a Slytherin, possibly a Ravenclaw hmm. Yes, yes that does sound right." "GRYFFINDOR!!" shouted the hat.
At that the hat was removed and Sierra literally ran to the Gryffindor table and sat down by one of Ron's brothers. She looked at the Slytherin table and her brother glared at her and she just shrugged her shoulders and turned to the sorting to watch her friends. During that time another Gryffindor was sorted her name is Lavender Brown.
"Finch-Fletchley Justin!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouted once again.
"Granger, Hermione!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Another Gryffindor was sorted his name was Neville Longbottom.
Finally Sierra's cousin Malfoy was sorted.
"SLYTHERIN!" Shouted the hat.
"No surprise there," she thought.
Finally the sorting was getting to the P's of the alphabet.
"Potter, Harry!"
When the professor announced his name whispers followed. Only thing Sierra could do was smack her forehead in disgust. "No," she thought sarcastically. "She said Harold Poter." The hat took a while to decide Harry house finally the hat said,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
" YES," Shouted Sierra. "One down and one to go!"
Finally what seemed like forever, it was Ron's turn. He was not looking to well by now Harry and Sierra both had their fingers crossed. It did not take long for it to decide Ron's fait.
"GRYFFINDOR" it shouted.
Both Sierra and Harry joined the crowd and cheered for Ron. When he sat by them they gave each other high fives and sat down. The sorting was finished, Sierra though "this is going to be a great year."
Chapter Two: Professor Snape
When the sorting was finished food appeared on their plates. There was everything Sierra could think of. Among the Gryffindor first years there were talking about their families. It was finally Sierra's turn to tell her story.
" Well, my mum was muggle born according to my brother Lucus. My dad is full blood so I guess that makes me half and half." Sierra finished.
The students were all starting on their desert. Sierra took some treacle pudding this was her favorite desert. Finally the students were finished and Professor Dumbledore stood up and the hall went silent.
" Welcome, to another year at Hogwarts. There are just a few words I'd like to say before sending you all off to bed. Ah, yes first years should note that the Forbidden forest is off limits to all pupils. I have also been asked by Mr. Filch to remind you that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. Also Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested playing for his or her house please contact Madam Hooch. Finally, I must tell you that the third-floor corridor is out of bounds for anyone who does not wish to die a very painful death." Finished Dumbledore.
When the speech was done the Gryffindors heard Percy shout, " FIRST YEARS FOLLOW ME PLEASE, FIRST YEARS." The first years followed suit and Sierra finally caught up to Ron and Harry, she was pushed to the back of the line of the first years.
" Hey," Harry and Ron greeted her.
" Hey," she said and greeted them back.
They reached the Gryffindor common room. Percy said the password to the Fat Lady " Caput Draconis." The first years followed Percy into the room.
"Girls, your dormitory is up the stairs and to the right, Boys same as yours. I expect you a goodnights sleep tomorrow is a big day first day of classes and all. The girls went up to their dormitory chatting along the way. Most were excited about tomorrow. As the girls got into their dormitory they chose their bed. Sierra ended up next to the brown bushy haired girl, who smiled at her and she smiled back.
"So what's your name?" asked Sierra.
"Oh, I'm Hermione Granger. I was the one with you in the boat on the way to the castle." She answered.
"I remember now, I'm Sierra Black."
They shook hands.
"So want to be friends?" Sierra asked.
" Sure," Hermione answered.
"I'll introduce you to Ron and Harry in the morning. Their great friends of mine that I met on the train."
"That sounds great."
"Wait did you say, that your Sierra Black?" asked one of the girls from the dorm.
"What's your point?" asked Hermione.
"Her dad was a deatheater you know, they did all sorts of bad things to muggleborns."
"Well, I'm not my dad you twit. As you can see."
"It's hard to say, all those who are families of deatheaters become deatheaters."
"I thought that was Slytherins job to recruit deatheaters not Gryffindors." Said Hermione.
" Suit yourselves, if you want to be friends with a soon to be deatheater."
"What's your name so I can report you when he returns?" Joked Sierra.
" Lavender Brown." She answered.
"Nice to meet you Lavender. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight." With that Sierra shut her curtains and fell right to sleep.
The girl's dormitory was empty in the morning except for Hermione who hit her with a pillow to wake her up.
"Ouch that hurt." She said to Hermione.
"Sorry, I tried to wake you up nicely earlier but you didn't wake up." Said Hermione.
"What time is it?"
"7:00," Hermione answered. " Harry and Ron were worried about you so I came up and woke you I told them to head down to breakfast so they wouldn't be late. So hurry up and get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs."
" All right, I'm up."
It took Sierra a couple minutes to get dressed finally she met Hermione downstairs and the two practically ran downstairs. They reached the great hall and found Harry and Ron, sat down next to them.
" What do we have today?" asked Sierra.
" Oh, you'll love this one. We have double potions with the Slytherins today as our first class."
"Great, what I need right away in the morning. Well we better head down to the dungeons so Snape won't have a reason to give us a detention." Suggested Sierra.
As the four reached the dungeons they heard shouting.
"I WILL NOT HAVE A GRYFFINDOR IN MY HOUSEHOLD SEVERUS!" They heard.
"Oh, no its my dad." Grumbled Sierra.
"Looks like someone's in trouble now," Malfoy said. "Wait till he finds out what type of friends you've made."
"Leave her alone Malfoy," said Harry.
"Potter sticking up for Black. And their best friends, wonder where I heard that before."
The two looked at each other very confused.
"SIERRA!" Her father shouted. "GET IN HERE."
Sierra sighed and went in. Good luck said her friends.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? YOU BEING FRIENDS WITH A MUDBLOOD, AND BEING IN GRYFFINDOR!"
"GRYFFINDOR WAS NOT MY CHOICE! BUT MY FRIENDS ARE AND THERE IS NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Sierra shouted.
"ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU! Regulus did you take this up with Dumbledore?" Asked Snape.
"Yes, he said if its alright with you then she could be in Slytherin." Her father answered.
"Well, it's alright with me but I think Sierra should have the choice in the matter at hand." Said Snape smiling at her.
"I want to stay in Gryffindor. It doesn't hurt to have something new in the family does it?" She asked her father.
"No I suppose not. It's just that when your Godfather returns from his trip he won't be very happy."
"Well, that's your own fault that you put him as your children's Godparent." said Snape.
"I know, well Sierra good luck in Gryffindor and I'll see you at Christmas and there may be a surprise for you." Said her father and he walked out.
"Well, that was interesting. Suppose I'd better actually start class huh?"
"Yeah I suppose." Sierra entered the classroom and spotted Harry Ron and Hermione waving and she ran up to get her seat.
"How'd it go," they asked.
"Tell you later," she whispered.
" Now that, that fiasco is over we can begin our class." He started to take roll call but paused at Harry's name. "Ah, yes Harry Potter our new celebrity. You are here to learn the exact art of Potion making. I don't expect many of you to really understand the art of potion making, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death- if you aren't as be a bunch of dunderheads I usually have to teach."
"Potter!" said Snape. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood."
Sierra, Harry, and Ron exchanged looks of confusion but Hermione's hand shot up in the air.
"I don't know sir," answered Harry.
"How about this one Potter, where would you go if I told you to find me a bezoar?" Again Hermione's hand shot up in the air.
"I don't know sir."
" Three strikes and your out Potter, try this one, what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
"Please sir," said Hermione anxiously. "Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you form most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of aconite." Hermione finished.
"Ms. Granger, if I would have asked for a word for word out of the book I might as well have read it. As for answering the question out of turn 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor."
"Five points for answering it right?" asked Sierra.
"Yes, be glad I didn't take more."
The rest of the class period was taking notes, finally the bell rang and the four of them rushed out the door not daring to look back at Snape.
"Well, I'm glad that class is over," said Harry.
"Me too. Didn't you say that you had tea with Hagrid to go to? Can all of us come with?" asked Sierra. " It will take our minds off that lesson."
"Sure, come on."
They went to go visit Hagrid.
They reached Hagrid's hut and knocked. They heard Hagrid scramble to get to the door. " Down Fang down," They heard Hagrid say. He opened the door and let them in.
" Hey, Hagrid," said Harry.
" Hello," said Hagrid.
" This is Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Sierra Black." Harry said.
" Weasley eh, I spent half of my life chasing your brothers away from the forest. Black also, must be related Sirius another troublemaker along with his best friend James Potter. Granger I heard you're a great student from what the rest of the staff talks about."
Hermione blushed.
"Any way how has your first week been Harry?"
" Great, except for Snape's class, who seems to really hate me."
" None sense. So how has your brother been Ron?"
" Great, he's in Romania studying dragons." While Ron was talking to Hagrid about his brother. Harry, Sierra and Hermione were interested in the article of the front page of the Daily Prophet. Gringotts Break In.
" It could be broken into I didn't think it could be? Seeing that it is very protected. The goblins said no one has taken anything out of there," said Sierra and the others just shrugged.
" Hagrid we'd better be getting back to the castle it's getting late." Said Hermione.
The four of them headed back up to the castle for dinner.
Chapter three: The three headed dog
As the four of them headed back to the castle and went into the front doors, Sierra accidentally ran into a Slytherin. The Slytherin turned around and said " Watch where you're going first year." Then he realized who it was. " Oh its just you." Then he walked away. The four of them headed into the great hall and grabbed a seat. The dinner was usual. From the Slytherin table Malfoy and his gang were watching them. Sierra saw him leave and come up to them.
" What do you want?" Sierra asked coldly.
" Wondering how many Weasleys does it make to make one galleon."
" We care why?" asked Hermione.
" None, there too poor to have a galleon so why would he want to make them?"
Sierra and Harry stood up at this.
" Can't you leave him alone for one second?" Asked Sierra.
" No, the only way I'm going to is if I challenge Potter here to a duel. Oh wait does he even know what a duel is." Before Harry spoke Sierra said. " Of course he does and I'm his second."
"How interesting, okay tonight at midnight in the trophy room. Got it? See you there."
" What on earth is a Wizard's duel?" Asked Harry. What do you mean, you're my second?"
" Well, a wizard's duel is well two wizards that basically use magic instead of the muggle way where you use guns. The word second comes from if somebody dies the second usually takes over and sometimes wins. But don't worry the most you and Malfoy would be able to do is send sparks at each other or something like that." Answered Sierra.
" You do know how much trouble you two would be in if you were caught. Who says that Malfoy is going to be there he might tell and ditch you guys." Said Hermione.
" The only way we're going to find out is if we go." Said Sierra.
" Fine, but I'm coming with you, you might need me for some good spells if Malfoy shoots one at you." Said Hermione.
" Ron, what about you."
" I'll come to, just to see Malfoy get knocked out."
The four laughed at this and headed to the common room. As Sierra turned around to look at the Slytherin table her brother caught up to her.
" Sierra wait up a second."
" What?" she asked
" Heard you were going to duel Malfoy."
" And?"
"Just to warn you I'm his second. Don't think I'll go easy on you. Potter, also to let you on a little secret I'm the Slytherins Seeker. You better keep an eye out for yourself since my sources tell me that you the Gryffindor Seeker. Can't wait for our first match." He walked away.
" I tell you this Christmas is not going to be great. With our family reunion and everything. People will be looking at me with disgusted looks. Wish my uncle could be there though." Sierra said. " Well now we must go forth and get some homework done, before the wizard duel tonight."
The four of them continued up the marble staircase and said the password to the fat lady and went into the common room. Grabbed the seats in front of the fireplace.
" Should we start with Snape's essay first?" asked Sierra.
" Get his done and over with." Ron agreed.
It was almost eleven thirty and the four of them headed down to the trophy room. As they headed down the stairs they heard something and Harry hushed them because Ron and Hermione were bickering. It was Neville; he was coming back from the hospital wing from his broken wrist that happened the last Friday when they had flying lessons.
"I'm so glad you found me," he said. "I nearly got caught by Filch already. I've forgotten the password."
"The Password is Pig snout, Neville." Answered Sierra quickly.
" Thanks." He ran up the stairs and then he noticed the Fat Lady was gone and so were Harry, Ron, Hermione and Sierra. So he decided to wait for one of them to return.
Meanwhile, Harry and his friends reached the trophy room. Then he heard something dreadful someone he didn't want to hear.
"Sniff around my sweet," he said.
Sierra looked at Harry he looked back and said " Run."
So the others followed the two and they ran straight into Peeves.
" Oh First years out on a nighttime stroll should tell Filch I should."
" Please, Peeves don't tell."
"FIRST YEARS DOWN THE THIRD FLOOR CORRIDOR." He shouted. J
The four of them made a dash down the hallway and opened the door. All four of them ran inside and down it as fast as they could. They came to another door and Harry whispered, "It's locked."
"Move over," Hermione said. "Alohomora. Get in."
They entered.
"Wonder why this door was locked?" asked Sierra.
" I think I know why," Harry said.
Sierra turned around. They're stood a three-headed dog all four of them screamed and ran out until the reached the Fat Lady and huff and puffed and said the password and went in.
"What is that thing doing her inside the castle?" Asked Ron.
"Well, it was your fault that you decided to come along." Said Hermione angrily.
"My fault, I came along for support and so did you. As I recall." Said Ron.
"Enough you two. If it's anyone's fault its mine. I dragged you all into this. Even Harry."
"No, if you hadn't said anything I probably would have dueled him anyway. So we would have been drugged into this either way." Said Harry.
"Well," said Hermione. "I'm going to bed before we decide another way to get us killed or worse expelled. You three don't use your eyes do you? That dog was standing on a trap door, obviously it's guarding something. Well, like I said before I'm off to bed." She headed up to the girls dormitories.
"Guarding something? What could it be guarding?" Asked Harry.
"I don't know Harry, but I'm with Hermione I'm off to bed." Said Sierra and she headed up to the girls dormitory.
Chapter Four: The Troll
Morning came the girls headed downstairs for breakfast before the other two did. Hermione was still a little angry with them but Sierra decided to stick with her since Harry and Ron had each other. When they entered the great Hall the four of them sat opposite of each other. When Harry, Ron and Sierra were discussing what could be under the trap door. Hermione showed no interest in it.
"It could be either really valuable or really dangerous," said Ron.
"Or both," said Sierra and Harry in unison.
As the owls came in everyone's attention went to the long thin package that came to Harry. He took the note and read it.
DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE. It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't' want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven O'clock for your first training session.
Professor M. McGonagall.
Sierra had opened a letter that she received from home. Which was a surprise since she had heard from no one since she had the argument with her dad.
Dear Sierra,
How've you've been? You may not remember me but I remember you quite well. Well, I have been freed from Azkaban thanks to your father, which was a surprise. I hear you are in Gryffindor, well done that was my house. I wasn't supposed to contact you in any way but I could not wait till Christmas to hear from you. There's so much news from me that I can't fill in this letter so I'll have to tell you when you come home for Christmas. See you then.
Love, uncle Sirius Black.
Sierra had a gleeful look on her face when Harry looked at her he asked. " What is it?"
"My, uncle will be home for Christmas! Now I won't be hanging out by myself this year."
"That's wonderful Sierra. I'm going home for the holidays also, does that mean I'll be able to meet him, will he be at the kings cross waiting for you?" Asked Hermione.
" Hmm let's think, since he's finally home for Christmas, and hasn't seen her in ages I bet he will be waiting for her," snapped Ron.
"Ron, that was very rude. And besides he said nothing about coming to the kings cross-station so it's a fifty - fifty chance." Said Sierra.
"Besides who would come and see a filthy Gryffindor off the train from Hogwarts anyway," said a voice Sierra knew too well.
"Anyone would," Hermione snapped back.
"Really? So you're saying that someone would love to see a Mudblood also?" Said her brother.
"What did you say Lucus?"
"Just called your little buddy a Mudblood got a problem with that?" he asked.
" Yes, I do come one Hermione we need to get some homework done anyway."
The girls got up and headed up to the common and grabbed their books and headed to the library. On their way down they ran into Harry and Ron. They didn't speak to each other but Harry looked rather guiltily at Sierra who only nodded.
After Harry's first Quidditch practice months flew buy and it was finally Halloween. The four of them were in Charms when Flitwick announced that they were ready to make objects fly. As he was reminding class to remember the wrist movement they've been practicing he paired them up. Harry was partnered with Sierra, they were both glad for it but however Ron was partnered with Hermione Granger. It was hard to tell which one was angrier with this the two hadn't spoke to each other for weeks.
As Harry and Sierra were trying to make their feather fly it was just staying put, but Ron however shouted "Wingardium Leviosa." But his just laid flat on the table and he looked like he was trying to stab it.
"Stop, stop you're going to poke somebody's eye out. And Besides Your saying it wrong, its Wing-gar- dium Leviosa. Make that 'gar nice and long," snapped Hermione.
"You do it then if you're so clever," Ron snarled.
She rolled up her sleeves and said " Wingardium Leviosa." Her feather rose high above the table. Everyone stopped to look at Hermione's feather. Professor Flitwick was pleased. However Seamus was growing impatient with his and Nevilles, which after the third time his burst into flames. Everyone jumped and looked over but at that point Hermione was awarded 10 points for Gryffindor, however Ron was angry for the rest of the class period.
At the end of class Harry and Ron were not very far ahead of Hermione and Sierra. They over heard Ron complaining about Hermione to the other boys in Gryffindor.
"Its Wingardium Leviosa not Leviosa. Honestly she's a nightmare no wonder she hasn't got any friends." Finished Ron.
At that Hermione ran and bumped into Ron and headed to the bathroom. However Sierra did not run after her but hounded on Ron. She stepped right in front of them to block their way.
"How dare you say that she has no friends? Hello, who's been hanging around her all the time? She's a nightmare too now, all she did was try and help you Ron that's not a crime is it?" Shouted Sierra.
When she was finished she ran after Hermione. The boy just stood their shocked but once they entered the Great Hall Hermione was removed from their mind. The decorations were excellent. Ten minutes after the feast had started Sierra entered the Hall and sat next to Harry and stared at Ron in anger and began to eat. After she piled her plate full of food she muttered to Ron so that only Harry could her.
" I hope you're happy Ron, she won't come out of the girls toilet. She doesn't even think that I want to be her friend anymore. She's starting to believe what Lavender Brown said about me the first night we meet. I swear if we weren't in the Great Hall I would have jinxed you right here and now." Finished Sierra.
"So Hermione has finally came to her senses then eh, not to be friends with you." Said Lavender Brown.
"No, and I'd be quiet now if I were you because I'm not in the mood for your mouth." Sierra said.
As the two finished their arguement Professor Quirell came running and shouted "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! Thought you ought to know." Then he fainted and screams filled the Great Hall. Professor Dumbledore stood up and yelled "SILENCE" the school did so. "Prefects lead your houses to the dormitories teachers follow me to the dungeons."
So the Gryffindors followed Percy out of the Great Hall back to the common room. On the way to the common room Harry asked, " how could a troll get in?"
"I don't know they're supposed to be really stupid," answered Ron.
The Harry thought about Hermione and grabbed the back of their cloaks.
"What?" The two asked.
"Hermione, she doesn't know."
"How could have I forgotten?" asked Sierra.
"Alright but Percy better not see us." Said Ron.
The three of them ran to the girls bathroom. They smelled an awful stench on the way though. Harry pulled Ron and Sierra behind a wall.
"I think the Troll has left the dungeons." Ron said and the others nodded in agreement.
"It looks like its going into the room down the hall. We could lock it in?" Suggested Harry. The other two nodded and as the troll went into the room the three hurried and locked it in and Sierra looked horrified.
"What we locked the Troll in the room?" asked Ron.
"It's the girls bathroom isn't it?" asked Harry.
"Yes, and Hermione is in their."
"Well lets get in there to distract it!" Shouted Harry and the three of them burst in there. The three of them began throwing pieces of wood. After a few minutes of that Harry gave up and as the troll's club came down he made a jump and flew himself over and landed on the shoulders of the troll. However the troll made a grab for him and dragged him off.
"Do something!" Shouted Harry.
"What?"asked Ron.
"Anything!"
"Enough already," Said Sierra she took out her wand and shouted. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The club flew out of the trolls hand and fell onto his head. Harry had to scramble backward to get out of the way before the troll fell to the ground. Hermione was the first to recover to say anything.
"Is it dead?" She asked.
"No, I think it's just knocked out." When Harry finished the door to the bathroom opened up and three teachers came in and Professor McGonagall caught her breath and said.
"Explain yourselves."
"Well, what it is..." the three of them started but were interupted by Hermione.
"It's my fault Professor Mcgonagall." She said. Harry dropped his wand. Sierra looked shockced and Ron well was really in shock.
"I went looking for the troll, you know I've read about them and thought I could handle it. And if Harry, Ron and Sierra hadn't gone looking for me I'd probably be dead." She finished.
"Well, be as it may. Miss.Granger I am highly dissappointed in you. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor." Hermione left with her head hung low and headed to the common room. " As for you three not very many first years can take a on a full mountain troll and live to tell the tale. I award five points to each of you, for sheer dumb luck. The feast is being finished in the common room and I suggest that you head straight there."
The three of them left to head to the Gryffindor common room.
"Five you mean the one's she taken off of Hermiones?" Asked Harry.
"It was nice of her to get us out of trouble like that. Mind you we did save her." said Ron.
"Well, she may have not been needed saving if we hadn't locked that thing with her and you hadn't insulted her." Sierra added.
They reached the fat lady and said 'pig snout' and went in. They found Hermione and they all said thanks and grabbed plates. But from then on Hermione Granger became very close friends with them. There are somethings that you can't help but like each other and knocking out a twelve-foot mountian troll was one of them.
