Honorary Hufflepuffs

Halloween 1991.

Third Year

"TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! TROOOLLL IN THE DUNGEOON! Thought you ought to know…" Quirell yelled, running down through the great hall. Students screamed and stood, throwing down their food. Jo and Leili looked at each other.

"Troll? Since when do we have a troll?" Jo asked.

"We don't," Leili said, eyes narrowing.

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore stood "Everyone will please not panic! Now, prefects please escort your house to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons." The girls stood with the rest of their house to follow the prefects back to the common room, once out of the great hall, Jo took Leilani's hand and with a quick tug she separated them from the crowd, to follow Harry and Ron. They watched the boys head towards the girl's bathroom and spotted a very large shadow on the wall.

"Troll. Not good." Jo whispered dragging Leili along behind her a little faster. They stopped just outside the bathroom, watching as Hermione skittered across the floor to hide under the sinks. After much screaming and crashing Harry was on top of the troll and Leili whipped out her wand, ready to catch him, should he fall.

"Do something!" Harry yelled after he'd lost his wand up the troll's nose, and the troll had grabbed the boy nuisance by the foot.

"What?!" Ron asked, watching Harry dodge the club.

"Anything! Hurry up!" Leili and Jo watched silently; ready to jump in at a moments notice. Ron brandished his wand, Jo turned to glance down the hallway while Leili stayed glued to the problem at hand.

"Swish and Flick!" Hermione yelled.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Leili whispered at the same time as Ron. Ron grinned as he saw the charm work, the club remaining in the air while the troll's arm swung down. It gave him a much-needed confidence boost.

"Leili! Dumbledore's coming!" Jo whispered, "We need to go."

"Just a second, I want to make sure they don't do anything else."

"Knock out the troll and they won't have to."

"Why didn't I think of that?" Leili dropped the club onto the troll's head and stayed just long enough to see it fall. Then Jo took her hand again and they snuck off before high tailing it back to their dormitory.

Back in their room, they threw themselves onto Leili's bed. "Those kids are going to be the death of themselves!" Leili exclaimed.

"They get into more trouble than our firsties!" Jo said.

They were silent for a moment.

"I guess they'll need some looking after, then," Leili said, resigned.

"Consider them honorary 'Puffs," Jo agreed.
