Trevor, a Not So Normal Toad Part 2: The Search
After I hopped away from Hogsmeade, I only followed I instinct. One day I came upon another toad named Bella.
"Who you?" asked Bella
"Trevor." I replied.
"Trevor funny name. Make Bella laugh. Huh Huh Hau!"
"Was that supposed to be laughing?" I thought.
"Bella follow Trevor. Bella be helpful!"
"No! Go away, I am in a hurry. Goodbye!" I hopped for another five hours when I heard:
"Slow down for Bella! Trevor too fast, hops real lot! Where's us going?"
"Bella! You were supposed to stay in the pond like I said. Now leave! You are being a bug." I said.
"Bella no bug. Bella toad, like Trevor! I follow Trevor!"
"Fine." I muttered.
"Bella sing March Song now. One Three Two Ten! Here us go, on ad-ven-tur-es…"
The Next Day
I almost went crazy when Bella attempted to sing a song. She "sang" all day, all night, and is continuing to sing.
"Us hop once, twice, four times…"
One Hour Later
"Us hop 6,456 times…"
"HELP!"
899,023,001 Hops Later
I came across a squirrel named Mr. Nutty, and I told him about Bella, and he ran away before I finished. I believe it was because Bella was approaching. Even though a very large pest was following me, something told me that I could go on.
The Next Day
I didn't think I could go on. I almost lost it when Bella started greeting every flower she came across.
"Hullo poppy, hullo daisy, hullo flower, what name do you got?"
"Why me??"
Trevor traveled many miles and for many days. Bella has sung 4,009 songs and greeted 99,988 flowers. Trevor felt something unusual when he came across an old, broken down shack.
"Oh, I do miss Fred and George! And I very miss Honeydukes!"
"Oh, Bella very miss Fwed and Jorge too. Bella miss Honkeydues too!"
"Bella, you've never seen any of them."
"Bella knows that!"
"When will it end??" Off in the distance I saw something very strange. It was a red creature with a thick tail, and I did not recognize it. "Hey, you! Mr. Red!" The thing looked at us. It came up to us and looked at us greedily.
"Hullo rose, hullo-AHHH!"
"What is it?"
"Fox!"
"What?"
"Stand away, Bella handle this. Hey, Mr. Fox. Yuh, I talking to you. Do you know what I see? I see-AHHHH! A wolf!"
"Wolf? Here? Oh my goodness-I got to get out of here!" cried the Fox.
"Works always." said Bella.
As we hopped on, we came across an old shack. As I hopped inside I felt something strange. It drew me into a room, and into a drawer. Inside was a piece of paper with writing on it. The one thing I will thank Neville for (other than being too clumsy to find me when I hide) was the fact that he taught me to read. He thought it didn't work, but it did. The piece of paper said:
He found us, I don't know how, but he did. The only way to save my son, Trenton, was by turning him into a toad. I told the townspeople to bury me under the ash tree, where I will wait to die. Trenton is being shipped to Diagon Alley as a pet; it was the only way to save him. Only I can turn him back to a human, and only for a single day. This is the end, and I know Trenton will return, somehow.
Somehow I knew something about the name Trenton, but I don't know quite what. I rooted trough the drawer and found exactly what I was looking for, though at the time I didn't know what I was looking for. I went out to the ash tree and waved the wand I held in my tongue. Suddenly, I felt stretched and then BANG! I was no longer a toad. I was a twelve-year-old boy.
"Ahhh! Trevor change, Trevor no longer toad!"
I tried to talk in English, but I couldn't. I knew this was my only day as a human, so I ran back to the shack and rooted around the place.
"What is Trevor-big pink thing looking for? Bella help!"
"Spells." I replied. "Aha! A spell book!" I looked up "transport spells" and I, along with (unfortunately) Bella, were soon transporting ourselves into Diagon Alley.
"Pink thing takes Bella to nowhere place!"
"Jump into my pocket, Bella." I walked around Diagon Alley. So many things! I went into the pet shop, and, not surprisingly, I recognized it. I remember the day Neville bought me…
"Grandma, Grandma! I want that toad!" "No, Neville. You can't take care of your quills, how on earth are you going to take a responsibility like a toad?" "Grandma, I will take good care of that toad. Grandma, please?" "No. I don't like toads anyway, they hop too much." "Grandma, I will keep it far away from you, and I will care for it!" "Maybe, if it stays away from me!" "Yes Grandma, yes! It will stay away from you and I will take care of it!" I was lifted from my cage and placed in the boy's hands. "I shall call you Trevor! Lets go, Trevor!"
"Are you here to sell that toad or what, huh?" said the woman behind the counter.
"Croak Ribbi Bibit Croa Crooooaaaaakkk croak bribit!"
"Excuse me?"
"Croak Ribbi bibir croa croak ribbit!" People are gradually moving away from me. I remembered that I couldn't speak English, so I just nodded my head no and waved my and goodbye.
"Pink thing got name? Tell Bella!"
"Call me Trenton Trevor."
"Oak-ay Trenton Trevor. Funny name you have! Bella like."
"Hey, kid! Where'd ya get yer clothes? They're like 14 years out of style!" somebody yelled.
Bella stuck her head out of my pocket and started scolding the man with her finger.
"Croak Crooaaa, Ribbi ribi croak!"
"Huh? What's up with your toad?" the man inquired.
"Croak Croaak."
"This is too weird. What kind of freak are you, Toad-Boy?" and the man ran away.
"Bella, even if you spoke English he wouldn't understand you. 'Shut mouth with mean things for Trenton Trevor!' doesn't make much sense." I laughed.
"Bella stop man from mean things from mouth."
"Bella, the more you talk the less you make sense."
"Bella proud of mouth, talk normal always!"
I transported back to Hogsmeade. I went into Honeydukes and filled my pockets with candy, I had found 8 giant, golden coins in my pocket. Then I wrote a note to Fred and George saying: To Fred and George, From Trevor and stuck it to the candy. I snuck through the secret passage and went into the room where Fred and George usually are. Then I put down the candy and note. I knew I would almost be a toad again, so I went out into the halls and fooled around. I shot streamers through the air and made fire works and many other incredible things. Then professor McGonagall came out and saw me.
"Come here young man.' she said.
She brought me into her office.
"I would like to ask you a few questions. First, why aren't you in class? Second, what are you wearing? Third, What is your name? And last, how can you do such advanced tricks for someone of your age? Some of those spells I can barely do."
I didn't answer.
"Not talking? Will you talk to the headmaster then?"
And with that, she left to get the headmaster. "Uh-Oh." I told Bella. "I'm turning back into a toad!" BANG! And I was a toad again. "Come Bella, to the wall." By the time Professor McGonagall came back, there was only a pile of clothes, a wand, and a few gold coins left of the boy she brought into her office.
"He seems to have disappeared, Professor Dumbledore. Look, he left his clothes and everything!"
"This is quite unusual. Perhaps…"
Bella and I left the talking professors behind as we hopped through the walls. "I guess you will live here, in the walls?" I said.
"Bella live in wall place."
"Good. Find your way around, create new tunnels, have fun, do whatever, just don't get caught."
"Oak-ay. Bella fun she will have! Bye Trevor Toad!"
"Bye for now!"
Now I am really up for some serious prank playing, I haven't done a prank in a long time now…
Later That Night
"C'mon Trevor and Fred, lets bewitch Filch's toupee so that it runs away from him!" whispered George.
"George, I think this will be the funniest prank of the week! Lets go!"
After we bewitched Filch's toupee, glued Snape's potion's lids on, and put salt in Snape's coffee, I visited Bella.
"Bella, you really should go do pranks with me."
"Oak-ay, Bella make funny prank! Bella sit in coffee! Coffee tastes yum-yum!"
I went hopping around the school until Professor McGonagall almost stepped on me. She missed me, slipped, spilled her coffee all over herself, Bella just happened to be in her coffee, she stood up and said: "I will get Neville for this, he has to control this trouble making toad!"
Ahhh, I love being a toad!
