The Next Chapter, not much is going on but it is Halloween now or in the story at least...oh and I'm not sure if this is canonical or not, but the first Quidditch game will be after this, so they haven't played Quidditch, yet...
The next five weeks flew by. Charlotte, Alexis, Fred, and George had been at a prank pique. They'd pranked everyone in the school, including themselves. It seemed that occasionally, groups would occur inside the group. Charlotte and Alexis, and Fred and George, were the two common groups. Once or twice, Alexis and Fred, and Charlotte and George had partnered up, and pranked each other. Even all of the teachers were pranked by the group. The four had recieved a second place in detentions, the only people having recieved more, had gone to school from 1970-1978, or so Alexis overheard. None of the kids had a clue who it was, but Fred and George had their guess. They believed that the group was the Marauders, which Charlotte thought very possible. Charlotte had realized one night that her uncle Sirius had gone to school during 1970-1978. She told Fred, George, and Alexis, they all considered that she should talk to him, of course, they all said to do it with caution seeing as he was in the wizard fortress prison of Azkaban. Charlotte agreed that in a while she would visit him and ask him, it was really hard for her to visit him. Last time she did, he began muttering about Harry Potter. Harry had been his downfall, Harry defeating You-Know-Who had been when he fell. Charlotte kept her distance but always looked to his rebellion from the family as guidance.
On Halloween, Alexis and Charlotte woke up with grins. Both turnd to their clocks and saw that they had slept in until 5:45 P.M. Luckily enought for the girls, classes had been canceled. Otherwise, they would have had their normal Thursday routine.
"Interesting night last night." Alexis said.
"Very interesting, I can't believe we didn't get in until 7:00 A.M., can you, Sprinkles?" Charlotte said, using Alexis' nickname, the girls had grown fond of the nicknames, and now most everyone was using their nicknames, including some Slytherins.
"Oh, well, I used to do it at home, so no biggie, and you Cherry?" Alexis asked.
"I'm good with it, but still shocked, I mean did you hear Fred and George last night?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah, but I remember nothing." Alexis said. "What'd they say again.
"Oh, they just said that they want to create a new and improved Marauders' Map, or as they said, the Evaders' Map, cause you know, we evade stopping, and for all of the things we've done, we evade most punishments." Charlotte said.
"Oh, thats cool, but like, what would they change?" Alexis asked while changing into a fresh set of clothes featuring a gold T-shirt, a red sports jacket, and jeans. Charlotte mimicked her outfit, only switcing the shirt and jacket so the shirt is red and agold jacket.
"Nice outfit." They both laughed at each other.
The two girls ran down the staircase arm in arm, almost causing them to trip, and into the common room. They saw Mae, leaving, she was supporting a gold low-cut shirt, a red min-jacket, and a red mini-skirt.
"Mae, isn't eleven years old, a little young for wearing stuff like that." Charlotte asked gesturing to her outfit, Charlotte then noticed Mae was wearing make-up.
"Well, for your information, my birthday was ten days ago, you know October 21? So I'm twelve, and also, grow up. Be...serious." Mae said, knowing it would Charlotte, then left for the Great Hall.
"God I hate her." Charlotte whispered to Alexis.
Alexis giggled, "So do I."
As a part of their daily ritual, the two linked their arms and skipped down to the Great Hall together.
"HELLO HOGWARTS!" Charlotte yelled.
The entire Great Hall groaned, this was becoming a habit for Charlotte, she was the second most known kid in her year, Harry being the first. "HELLO CHARLOTTE." The kids from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff replied, the Slytherins just went back to their dinner.
Charlotte and Alexis, still linked, went and sat down, Charlotte with Ron on her left, and Alexis with Seamus on her right. Harry was across from Ron, Neville across from Charlotte, Dean across from Alexis, and Lavender across from Seamus. Parvati was at the Ravenclaw table with her sister.
"Where's Mae? I thought she was coming down here." Charlotte asked.
"She did." Neville said, pointing at the Hufflepuff table. "She's flirting with the third year Hufflepuffs."
"AND THEY'RE FLIRTING BACK?" Charlotte yelled, causing a great amount of the Gryffindor to stare at her and wonder about her sanity level.
"Apparently so." Neville shrugged, "Don't let her bother you, cause if you are noticibly bothered, she'll keep bothering you."
Charlotte decided that was best, she was going to tell Neville when something hit her. "Where's Hermione? She never misses a feast."
"Pati Patil said she's been in the girls' bathroom since she saw Ron this morning, she's still upset over yesterday." Neville said.
Neville turned to Ron who had been signaling for him to stop talking, now Ron was trying to turn away from Charlotte, but he wasn't fast enough.
"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" Charlotte demanded.
Ron didn't even bother trying to get her for language, he knew that he was in deep trouble.
Neville began to grin, "Oh, well after Charms class he was telling us that Hermione was a crazy know it all, and he mocked her for telling him how to pronounce 'Wingardium Leviosa' and he also said she was a nightmare and no wonder why she doesn't have any friends." Neville turned to a now wimpering Ron.
"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!" Charlotte yelled, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"
"Charlotte! Have you even met her?" Ron asked.
"Yes, and she has her flaws, as does EVERYONE." Charlotte yelled, staring straight at Ron.
"Oh, and what are my flaws?" Ron asked, unaware that he was going to get an answer.
"Lets see, your fear of spiders makes it hard to do anything, the way you mock everyone without thinking, the way you don't take school," Charlotte paused at the fact that she was about to say 'seriously' she shook it off her brain and went on, "literally, you act annoyingly, and of course, you act like you haven't done anything wrong!" Charlotte yelled and sat down.
Ron sat back down as well, he was too shocked to speak, he felt like crap.
"See, doesn't feel so good, huh? I bet you want to go cry like Hermione." Charlotte snapped at him.
Ron was about to comment back when Professor Quirrell came running in, "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON, TROLL IN THE DUNGEON," He yelled before fainting.
Everyone was in mass panic, yelling and worrying.
"SILENCE." Dumbledore calmly, yet loudly said, the Great Hall silenced. "WILL EVERYONE PLEASE NOT PANIC. Now, Prefects, take your classmates back up to your common room and teachers please stay here."
"Okay." Neville, Dean, Seamus, Harry, Ron, and Lavender instinctly said. Alexis was still thinking about what Quirrell and Dumbledore said, she was still 'processing' it, basically, she had no clue what was going on.
"GUYS." Only Ron, Neville, and Harry turned to her, "HERMIONE, she doesn't know about the troll, we have to go find her."
Alexis turned to Charlotte, "Okay, well, there is a chance she's in her dorm."
"Good point Alexis. Neville," Neville turned to Charlotte, "You and Alexis go to the dorms and check if she's there, stay there anyway, don't want you two in trouble. As for you Ronald Weasley, you're coming with me. Oh, Harry go with Neville and Alexis." Charlotte said, while holding Ron back from escape.
"No, I'm going with you two." Harry gallantly said.
"Fine." Charlotte said, she wasn't really in the mood to fight over this. "Let's go." She confidantly said, while leading them down the corridor and to the bathroom that Hermione was in, before entering the bathroom Charlotte noticed something, large, and dumdstruck, and slimy, and green, and gross.
"TROLL!" Charlotte found herself, Ron, and Harry screaming this.
"Let's go..." Ron said, attempting to walk off.
Charlotte grabbed his collar and pulled him back, "No you don't, you are the reason Hermione is a bathroom that a troll is heading to, so you can't run off. Do you see Harry or me running off? NO. You don't and quite frankly I don't know why, but you have to stay." Charlotte stated, not questioning if she was even getting a response.
The trio of friends ran into the girls bathroom, the troll was already inside, and so was Hermione...
