The next morning at breakfast Ron and Dipper refused to sit anywhere near Hermione. It was clearly obvious that they were still upset about the birthmark incident. Then an owl who looked to be carrying a very heavy package set it right in front of Harry. There was a note attached to it. What does it say? asked Mabel. I'll tell you when we get back up to the common room said Harry.
When they got there they saw that it was a Nimbus 2000, the fastest broomstick in the world. Whoa, those things are expensive said Pacifica. Who on earth sent it? it was Professor McGonagall said Harry. She spoke about the idea of convincing Dumbledore to bend the rules and allow me my own broomstick. Just think, if Malfoy hadn't stolen Neville's remembrall i'd never be a seeker. So that's what this is, isn't it? asked a voice. Getting rewarded now for breaking the rules apparently. Get lost said Dipper. Hermione stormed off in a huff. Jerk muttered Dipper under his breath.
Soon it was time for Quidditch tryouts to see who would become the new chaser. Dipper knew he had his work cut out for him if he wanted to make the team with a weak comet 260. He was able to get it done and barely beat second year Katie Bell. Katie took this surprisingly well and actually congratulated him. Dipper's Gryffindor teammates consisted of two other chasers named Alicia Spinnet, and Angelina Johnson. There was also the Weasley twins who were the beaters. The captain Oliver Wood was the keeper. And of course, Harry Potter was the seeker. After tryouts Wood explained what they had to do in order to win the cup. Each team would play each other at least once making a total of six games. At the end of the six games the team that collected the most points would win the Quidditch cup. This seemed a little bit unfair because if all you had to do was make up a number of points then Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had an unfair advantage in the final match. But then there was the factor of risk vs reward. Winning a Quidditch match got their team fifty points towards the house championship. They could lose the Quidditch cup but in return they would win the house championship.
Over the next several weeks Ron and Dipper would continue to make jabs at Hermione. With all his schoolwork and Quidditch practices, Dipper always had something to do. Before they knew it they had been at Hogwarts for over a month. Halloween was coming up at the end of the month. The students all kept getting excited. The lessons also became more exciting and the students were learning interesting things.
Soon it was October thirty first meaning that it was finally Halloween. All of the first years were in the charms classroom where Professor Flitwick had an exciting lesson planned. One of a wizards most extraordinary abilities is levitation, the ability to make objects fly he said. Now don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, swish in flick. Then you simply say the incantation, Wingardium Leviosah. The students then began waving their wands and saying the incantation but they were having trouble. Ron who was partnered with Hermione was struggling the most of all. Hermione ended up successfully casting the spell much to the annoyance of Ron and Dipper. As they were walking away from their lesson Ron pointed out that it was no wonder Hermione had no friends. Who would want to be friends with a jerk who mocks someone because of a freaking birthmark? asked Dipper. Hermione must have heard them and she ran off.
At dinner the students were excited as it was time for the Halloween feast. The students had not had this much food since the start of the year. At the Gryffindor table they noticed that someone was missing. Where's Hermione? asked Harry. Parvati Patil says she won't come out of the girls bathroom said Neville. She's been in there all afternoon crying. Good, now she knows how I felt when I got beat up in the second grade said Dipper. Don't any of you feel the least bit sorry for her? asked Pacifica. I'm not going to feel sorry for a bully, said Ron. I won't feel anything towards her until she says that she's sorry for insulting me said Dipper. Just then Mabel felt something burning in her stomach. She then started holding it in pain. She knew that she had to get to the bathroom or else there would be a big mess.
She ran out of the great hall as fast as she could while holding her stomach. She ran into the girls bathroom to see Hermione crying in a corner. Mabel quickly greeted her before locking herself in a stall. She pulled down her pants and panties and sat down on the toilet. She let out a sigh of relief as she began pooping. Mabel was letting out several fart noises. She could still hear Hermione crying. Hermione, I know what this is about said Mabel. Your'e upset because of the things Ron and Dipper have been saying. Dipper went through something very similar. What do you mean? asked Hermione. The big dipper isn't a tattoo, it's really a birthmark said Mabel. Back at home he got teased about it and at one point I found him crying in the basement. He got upset with you for saying that it was all a lie. Not too long ago, I actually found him crying in the broom shed after Quidditch practice. I think you both need to talk about it. Your'e right said Hermione. The next time I see Dipper and Ron, i'll say sorry to them. Mabel then let out another loud fart noise. Wow, you must have really had to go said Hermione. The two then shared a laugh. After another five minutes Mabel wiped her butt with toilet paper and flushed the toilet. Just as she walked out of the stall a troll burst into the room. The two were horrified and began screaming. Then out of nowhere Harry, Ron, Dipper, and Pacifica ran in to help. Harry and Dipper distracted the troll by leaping onto it's back. Harry stuck his wand up the troll's nose While Dipper was beating it on the head. Then Ron and Pacifica waved their wands and pointed it a the trolls club. Wingardium Leviosa they both said at once. The club hovered in the air before smacking the troll on the head. Harry and Dipper then leapt off. Is it dead? asked Hermione. I don't think so, just knocked out said Harry. Harry then pulled his wand out of the troll's nose and everyone was disgusted at it being covered in troll snot. Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell then ran in. What is the meaning of this? explain yourselves, all of you said McGonagall. It was my fault Professor McGonagall said Hermione. I've read about trolls, I went looking for it and thought I could handle it. Mabel went with me and tried to talk me out of it. If Harry, Ron, Dipper, and Pacifica hadn't found us we would be dead. That was very foolish of you Miss Granger, I thought you of all students would know better said McGonagall. And as for you Miss Pines, instead of going after her you should have told a staff member. Five points will be taken from each of you. She then turned to Harry, Ron, Dipper, and Pacifica. The four of you should consider yourselves very fortunate, not many first years can take down a mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points will be awarded to each of you, for sheer dumb luck. You six better get back to your dormitory, the feast is being continued up there. Y-yes, perhaps you ought to go stuttered Quirrell. B-before the troll w-wakes up.
When they were all back in the common room they apologized to each other. Ron, i'm sorry for nagging you like I was your mum said Hermione. Dipper, i'm sorry I accused you of lying about your birthmark. I'm sorry for the disrespectful things I said to you said Ron. So am I, and for breaking your nose said Dipper. Before anybody could say anything else all six of them joined together in a group hug. They were now all friends.
Author's note: Now there is no bad blood between them and everyone is happy. But because there are six of them instead of three I don't think they can be called the golden trio anymore.
