Sunday was just another day of doing some last minute school work. Aria was able to finish about noon that day and she just took the spare time she had to just go up to the Astronomy tower. Being quite fond of being up here, they only had classes at Midnight so the tower wasn't occupied so she was alone which was actually peaceful. You could see the Quidditch fields, forbidden forest, even Hagrid's hut from here. It was hard to believe that the days where just going by so quickly. What else will happen during these next upcoming weeks?

Weeks where going by quickly and it's already October it has been two months being at Hogwarts. Classes were great!… which is what she WOULD like to say but any class that involved using her wand like charms, transfiguration, even Herbology sometimes would just end in disaster… Her wand wasn't being very cooperative. Anytime she tried a spell it would just end terrible… It would either end up blowing multiple things up,loud screeching noises. Even trying to do a simple charm like the unlocking spell, with such a simple incantation even the wand movement! Nothing Aria did would work… the more frustrated she got the bigger the explosions there would be. Having had to put in so much effort on the basics over and over. Every now and then she would get some spells but that was so rare. Being so behind everyone else really makes you lose self confidence.

'Mr. Ollivander must have made a mistake! This wand?! just… Isn't working for me… and i dont know why!' she thought furiously

On the other hand any classes without her wand where a positive story. Muggle studies and the History of magic where boring but she still made good grades. Her wand would only spark a bit if she was quite bored so she always tried to pay attention. We dont need her wand to start catching things on fire. Astronomy and Potions were probably Aria's best classes, even though Snape was SO nitpicky with everything she did but anytime he called on her for a question she always got it right so she felt proud in that aspect.

Another thing was dealing with Malfoy if she was by herself he wouldn't even look at her. If she was with Harry or Ron he would make snarky remarks which bothered her. The best option she has is to ignore him, she did not like conflict. Though a part of her wanted to say something back but she held herself back. She could imagine the look on his face ha it would be priceless. It was probably best to keep those thoughts in the back of her mind.

Harry was busy with quidditch practice and he always looked so tired whenever Aria would see him. She wished she could do more to help him but she just gave him some encouraging words.

It was Halloween already and Aria just wasn't feeling today… She hated going to classes that involved her wand… which was today. Charms and Transfiguration. Oh joy. The only thing that helped Aria get through this day was Celeste she was making sure to stay with Aria, being able to calm her nerves. All of the other students worked on the levitation spell Wingardium Leviosa. Aria on the other hand… thought it was in her best interest to just work on the basics some more. She could work on the levitation charm later that day on her own away from was the same story with Transfiguration class reviewing the basics, then try to change a match into a needle. Though she just mostly studied the basics anything to prolong her from using her wand the better.

Dinner time finally rolled around, the great hall was decorated and it was very festive! A lot of pumpkins floating in the air, bats flying everywhere it was perfect for Halloween. For some reason Hermione wasnt around? Which was odd she asked Ron and Harry even they didnt know. Ron didnt seem too concerned about the whole thing. Aria had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach as she just ate some mashed potatoes. Celeste was eating some fruit and beef with a side of cream.

The dinner was soon disturbed when the double door slammed open with Professor Quirrell running, he had a terrified look on his face.

"Troooolllllllll! In the dungeons!... I thought you should know…" Falling to the floor fainting immediately.

The whole hall was silent for a second before students started to scream in a hug panic. Students were standing up getting ready to run, suddenly they stopped when there was a loud voice.

"SILENCE!" It was the headmaster Dumbledore he coughed slightly as he stood up.

"Everyone calm down. Prefects please lead your house back to the dorms immediately. We will deal with the situation."

Percy stood up and was yelling for all of the Gryffindor students to follow him. Aria was a bit shaken up. Why would their be a troll? Did someone let it inside to pull some kind of prank? Aria shook her head standing up not wanting to be left behind picking up Celeste as she followed the other Gryffindors back to the dorms. Looking around Aria couldnt see Harry or even Ron; They must just be up ahead she thought to herself. When arriving at dormitory Aria looked around asking others if they have seen Harry, Ron, Or Hermione. No one has seen them… Aria paced around in the common room waiting for them, maybe they got lost in the crowd? She hoped that was the case since Aria refused to go to bed until she saw them. Celeste stayed up with Aria prancing around as well she was gaining more human traits by the day.

A couple hours passed by and the entrance opened as Aria looked and it was them! Aria was so overjoyed she tackled them into a hug.

"Thank Merlin you're safe! I was so worried! Dont you know there is a troll out there? What where you thinking? Where were you guys?" Aria was bombarding them with alot of questions.

Celeste was just meowing that them, it seemed like she was asking her own questions as well.

"Woah Woah calm down Aria we're safe. Don't worry Celeste" Harry spoke up chuckling

"What about the toll?" Aria asked confused.

"Ron and Harry saved me. If it wasnt for them I probably would be dead right now"

"I guess you could say we are heros" Ron grinned being proud.

It took Aria a couple of seconds before she was able to process the information she was just given.

"No way. You guys took on a troll? How? Where? " Aria as so flabbergasted

Harry just chuckled at Aria as they all sat in front of the fireplace. Harry started to explain what happened, every now and then Ron would comment about his bravery. Aria was amazed at what they did taking a troll and living to tell the tale. Aria smiled she really has a bunch of amazing friends.
