Willoffire123: I'm baaaaccckkk!
Liz: Oh god, no.
Patty: And she doesn't own Soul Eater or Harry Potter!
Willoffire123: Yes, thank you Patty. And I'm back with a new OVA! The forgotten stories, to be exact. Ever wondered what exactly Liz and Patty were doing at school while the others were at Grimauld Place? Well now you can have at least part of your answer as we embark on the Thompson Twins Holiday Hogwarts adventure! On with the chapter!
Liz's POV
"Hey Big Sis?" asked Patty, digging into her lunch. "Do you think Kid will wake up by the time we get to see Maka and the others?"
"I dunno, Patty," I said glumly. "But at least we'll be there when he does wake up. Being left here does have some benefits."
"Liz! Patty!" came a shout from the other end of the Great Hall. I looked up from my sandwich to see Dean Thomas sprinting towards us, and skidding to a halt.
"Thank god you're still here!" he said, panting hard. Black Star was right, for a change, these Brits needed more exercise. "Neville's lost Trevor again, will you help us look for him?"
I sighed, swinging a leg over the bench to stand up. "Well, we didn't have anything better to do today anyway. C'mon Patty."
Patty giggled. "Okay Sis! Let's go find Torpor!"
"Trevor," Dean corrected, leading us out of the Great Hall and outside into the courtyard.
"That too," said Patty.
"So," I said, munching on the rest of my sandwich. "Who else have you enlisted to help find Neville's toad?"
"Well Neville, obviously," Dean said, counting off names on his fingers. "Seamus, Collin and Dennis Creevy, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, you two, and me."
"Any particular reason why you need so many people?" I asked as we rounded the corner, said people waiting for us.
"Because Filch said that if he found Trevor this time, he's feeding him to Miss Norris," said Neville nervously.
"The kitty?" asked Patty. "Do toads taste nice to kitties?"
"Probably not, but that feline will eat just about anything small enough," I said, finishing my sandwich.
"Why are you eating a sandwich?" asked Dennis excitedly.
"Because you pulled us out of lunch," I told the little, hyperactive brat. "Anyway, if we're going to find Thomas-"
"Trevor," corrected Neville.
"Whatever! If we're going to find him, we need to fan out. Creevy boys and Neville, you take the east wing. Luna and Cho, take the west wing, Seamus and Dean, you've got the grounds. Patty and I will take the ground floor and the dungeons. Good luck, figure out how to contact the others if you find the toad," I ordered.
"Right!" they all said, leaving to search their respective areas.
"What now Sis?" asked Patty.
"I wanna check out Filch, see if he knows something," I said, pulling Patty inside again.
"Okay, let's go!" she said charging up the stairs.
"Patty?" I said, tapping my foot.
"Yeah?" she asked, stopping half way up the stairs.
"Wrong way," I said, jabbing a thumb at the stairs leading down to the dungeons.
"Oh…" she said, jumping off the stairs and landing neatly next to me.
Once we'd gotten far enough down the stairs so that we were completely hidden from anyone in the Entrance Hall, Patty turned into a gun.
"You know the drill, Patty," I told the gun, hiding it in my hideous robes. "Don't talk."
"Yeah, yeah Sis, I know," said the gun. "Now let's go!"
Fortunately or not, Filch was in his tiny, cramped office, staking files and muttering to himself when we reached the place.
"Thinks he can let the thing slime over everything it touches, leaving me to clean it all up does he? The Gryffindor brat can think again. You'll eat well tonight, Miss Norris," he muttered, turning to dump the stack of files in a filing cabinet, spotting me in the process.
"You! What are you doing here!" he snapped. "Have you been sent for detention? Do I have the pleasure of chaining you to the celling by your pretty little ankles?"
This weirdo needs help. "Not exactly, Mr. Filch," I said, keeping one hand on Patty. "I'm looking for my friend's toad. Sources say that you might know where he is."
"Does my office look like a pet shop to you, cutie?" he snarled, taking a step towards me. "Why don't you take a seat in my office and we can make arrangements to find you a new toad? In the mean time-"
In one motion, I pinned him against his filing cabinet, the mouth of Patty's barrel resting on the back of his skull.
"I think you know perfectly well what I'm talking about, pervert," I said softly in his ear. "And unless you'd like to pay for it with your life," I jabbed Patty harder into his head to emphasize my point. "You'll take me to where you're keeping the toad. Now," I said, releasing my arm so he could move, but never moving Patty. "Now walk," I commanded. "And I wouldn't try running if I were you," I said, caressing the trigger. "I'm a pretty good shot."
Filch gulped, and began to walk. "Yes Mam."
He led us into Snape's empty classroom, and to a row of empty cages.
"That slimy blasted toad escaped!" he cursed, wringing his hands.
I jabbed Patty harder into his head, making him freeze. "Where is he, Filch?" I growled.
"I don't know Mam! It's like I said, he escaped! So please don't kill me!" he begged.
"Not good enough," I said, frustrated, and I pulled the trigger. Filch collapsed to the ground, out cold, smoke steaming from his head.
Patty transformed back into a human. "That's not going to keep him knocked out forever you know," she said.
"I know," I said while we jogged up the stairs back into the entrance hall. "Which is why we need to hurry and find that toad."
"Sis, listen," said Patty, pointing at a group of sixth year Hufflepuff girls.
"Did you see it?
"It came out of nowhere."
"Those poor patients in the Hospital Wing."
"But they have Madame Pomfrey to take care of it."
"I hope someone catches it and lets it outside."
"Toads are so gross!"
We looked at each other. "Kid!"
When we reached the hospital wing, everything looked peaceful enough. Madame Pomfrey was changing bandages on Kid's arm.
"Hello girls," she said cheerfully. "Are you here to visit Kid? He's doing much better since the last time you were here an hour ago."
"Thanks Madame Pomfrey," I said. "But we're actually looking for Neville's toad. We overheard that he was spotted on this floor."
"Oh the toad," said Madame Pomfrey. "Yes, two Ravenclaw girls came by earlier asking about a toad. The toad was here a couple of minutes ago, but I chased it out. I think it made a right."
Not waiting to here any more of the story, Patty turned on her heels and charged down the corridor to the right.
"Wait Patty! Thanks again, Madame Pomfrey, but I have to go now. We'll be back later to visit Kid!" I called over my shoulder while chasing Patty.
"There he is! I see him!" said Patty, pointing at the toad as it rounded the corner. She made a dive for him, and snagged him before he could make his leap for freedom.
Patty turned to me, and gleefully showed me her catch. "I caught him Sis!"
Trevor looked like any ordinary toad, I suppose.
"I don't know why Neville goes to so much trouble for you," I told the toad. "Or why his friends are good enough to help him."
Patty shrugged.
"Ah well," I said as we made our way downstairs to the entrance hall, Neville and the others waiting for us. "You know, someday you should meet Eruka…"
"Trevor!" cried Neville, holding out his hands for Patty to plop the toad into. "You found him! Thank you so much Liz, Patty!"
"No problem," I said.
"I caught him," Patty said, grinning proudly.
"That's incredible Patty!" said Collin, holding up his camera. "Can I get a photo?"
"Not a chance," I said, dragging Patty back up the stairs. "We have to go find Dumbledore before Filch wakes up."
"Wait, what?" asked Dean, stopping.
"Too late!" I laughed, breaking into a run, Patty right behind me. "We'll see you later!"
"Yeah…" I heard Dean say, shaking his head as he joined his friends for a late lunch.
"And the chase for the missing toad is over," I said, slowing down to a walk. Instead of also slowing down, Patty zoomed right past me.
"That was fun! But now I'm bored again! Let's go find Dumbledore!" she shouted over her shoulder.
I sped up from a walk to a jog. "You're right."
"Then hurry up Sis!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming!"
Willoffire123: Okay! We're done!
Liz: For good this time?
Willoffire123: Depends on whether or not I get another brainwave. But that was your last story arc. You don't get another one!
Liz: Good.
Patty: Until next time!
