____________________________________________________________________________________________

Neville was awakened in the dead of the night in his bed in the Gryffindor dormitory for the boys. He looked blankly at Trevor, wondering if his pet toad had woke him up with his slimy wet skin again.

No, Trevor was quite at peace, sleeping in his shoebox, which was on the bedside table. Neville turned over, wondering what on earth disturbed him. He came face to face with a pale face that had the really sandy hair that makes
you think of white beaches.

"Eeep!" Neville yelped, jumping back. "Who're you?"

The young woman smiled warmly at Neville.

"Hello! I'm Henny. I heard you could see us," Henny said in her thick Irish accent one simply couldn't miss.

"Um... Yeah, I- I guess so," Neville stammered, pulling his covers close to him. He really had a freaky time, seeing and talking to these... these angels. Even his friends thought he had definitely lost it now.

"I need someone to talk to," Henny said, "I'm bored.

"Me?" Neville said, looking incredulously at his clock nearby. "It's two in the morning, in case you hadn't noticed the time."

"Oh, I'd like a chat any time of the day," Henny said cheerfully.

"You can find someone else," Neville told her decidedly.

Henny never seemed to have heard him though. She was rambling about millions of things before Neville could even finish his sentence. All about her, of course. She then went on rasping about her hobby.

Neville had an itching feeling in his fingers to do what Harry had suggested to do to Professor Snape two days ago. He felt like getting a wet sponge to throw it in her face and saying "HAH!!!! Teach you not to stop me from sleeping, you idiot grape!!!!"

But that wasn't very Neville-like.

And as Neville Longbottom, Neville planned to be himself. So he decided that he should just try to please this angel, and listened to her. She was going through her favourite things when she suddenly produced a large, black spider. Neville recognised its long legs and spiny body, but hadn't a single idea what it was. All he knew was that Henny called it "Daddy Long-Legs" or something similar.

"This is my pet spider," Henny said charmingly, cuddling the creature. "Isn't he fabulous?"

Neville backed away, his arms swinging wildly. He usually did that most of the time when he felt really nervous. Unfortunately for him, his right arm hit something. Something Neville did NOT want to hit at all.

Melissa Johnns.

"What the freaking hell are you doing, you moron?!?!?!? I NEED MY SLEEP, AND I DON'T BE A FREAKING DAMN ANGEL TO SEE YOUR BLOODY FACE FOR 48 HOURS A DAY, IDIOT!!!!" She screeched.

"Um... I'm really sorry, Melissa, but--"

"SORRY??? SORRY???? THAT'S ALL YOU CAN FREAKING HELL SAY WHEN I GOT DISTURBED
FROM MY BEAUTY SLEEP!!!!!!! I DON'T CARE A DAMN THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU!!!! ALL I WANT IS SLEEP!!!!!! GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!!" Melissa paused for a short moment to catch some breaths. "AND I CAN'T BE DAMN WELL BOTHERED WITH YOU -- AAAAAH!!!!! A SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"T- The s- spider--" Neville stammered. Henny's "Daddy-Long-Legs" fell on his bed. And Neville did the first and only thing that came into his mind: he yelled.

"SPIDER?! AAAARGH!" Ron yelled, springing up erect on his bed suddenly.

He began yelling for his entire lung's worth, trying desperate to keep out of the way of the creatre. Harry, who was next to his bed, jumped up in surprise and was almost shoved over sideways, by Melissa's frantic scrabbling. Upon being pushed by an invisible being, he also began to yell.

Seamus Finnegan sat up in bed, asked Harry what was wrong, and, on receiving an invisible arm in the teeth, began yelling too. Dean Thomas sat up yelling as well, because with everyone yelling and only him not yelling, it sounded ... well, odd. The Gryffindor boys and Melissa were yelling for all that was worth, until stampedes of footsteps barged into their room heavily.

And all this, Henny the Angel surveyed in happy amusement.

"What is going on in here?" Hermione snapped, marching into the room. Ron ran to her at once.

"Hermione! Oh God, there's a SPIDER in this room!!!! A SPIDER!!!!" Ron wailed, obviously louder than the rest. It was high expectation that Ron Weasley had started the yelling competition.

"Iccle Ronniekins and spiders," Fred tutted.

"Our poor brother is insane!" George said sadly.

"Oh my!" Alicia Spinnet sighed. "You're all making such a great racket!!!"

"And someone invisible pushed me off my bed!"

"They punched me in the teeth! SOMEONE INVISIBLE IS ATTACKING US!!!!" Yells from Alicia at this. Fred and George looked at each other, grinned, and began yelling because it seemed like fun.

"SPIDER!!!!!!! GETITAWAYGETITAWAYGETITAWAY!!!!!" Screeched Melissa, trying to push Ron off the bed that they were both standing on.

"ARRRRGGGHHH!"

"ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!"

"SOMEONE INVISIBLE HIT ME!!!"

"I'M BLOODY HERE YOU MORONS!!!!! ARRRRGGGHHHH....!!!! SPIDER!!!! ARGHHH..."

"What happening? What's going on?" Parvati and Lavender entered.

"A SPIDER!!!!"

"OW! SOMEONE HIT ME! SOMEONE INVISIBLE HIT ME!" Colin Creevy yelped.

Parvati and Lavender saw the spider, jumped onto nearby beds, and raised their shrill voices in screams.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Move over! Head Boy coming through! Head Boy coming through!"

Crowds more Gryffindors pushed their way into the room. The head boy, a small squat 7th year, Willmott Lazlowe, pushed his way through.

"SPIDER!!!!" Screamed Melissa, Parvati, Lavender and Ron.

"WE WERE ATTACKED!!!!" Yelled Harry, Alicia and Dean, as well as about half a dozen other newcomers, who had also been subject to Melissa's rage.

"I'M BLOODY HERE YOU CRETINS!!!!"

"OW! SOMEONE HIT ME!"

"ARRRGGGHHHH..!!!!!!" more screams and yells at this, everyone terrified at the unknown presence in the room, everyone else, of the spider. Anyone left over was yelling because they felt left out.

"Calm down! Calm down! I say, do be quiet!" Willmott Lazlowe tried to keep the group quiet, but to no avail. "Oh, come on, please..."

Angelina Johnson entered, rubbing her eyes, "What's up? I was sleeping, and then all you lot start yelling... Willmott, can't you get them to be quiet for 5 minutes?!"

Fred and George were now yelling about vampire bats, in an effort to keep up the atmosphere of terror that was running through the now- full Gryffindor dormitory. Everyone had turned up to see what the matter was. A first year had gone into complete hysterics and had to be taken to Madam Pomfrey.

Willmott blushed deep red on being addressed by Angelina, "I'm trying, I'm trying... oh, come on people, do be quiet..."

"SOMEONE INVISIBLE IS ATTACKING EVERYONE!!!"

"HUGE KILLER SPIDERS!!! HUGE IT WAS!!!!"
"VAMPIRE BATS!!!!"
"THEY HIT ME!!!"

"--FANGS LIKE MEAT CLEAVERS!!!"
"ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH....!!!!!!!!!!"

The tales had escalated to epic proportions.

"Oh, honestly!" Hermione marched into the room, scooped up the spider, and threw it out with window. Ron, Parvati, Lavender and several others stopped yelling as loudly.

"OK, EVERYONE FOLLOW WILMOTT OUT OF THE ROOM!" Someone ordered, and Hermione began
shepherding people away, with the help of Angelina.

It was some time before the room was empty, peace was restored, and the boys were returned to their dormitory, following a stern telling- off from Professor McGonagall.

Eventually, Ron, Harry, Dean and Seamus fell asleep. Henny, sensing that she was not very welcome just now, had disappeared. Melissa was glaring, and Neville was still very jittery after getting an extreme barating from his head of house, which had ended in detentions every night for the next week.

"Huh, you're so stupid!" Melissa was scowling, "Look what you made everyone do!"

"It wasn't me! I didn't do anything!"

"Yes you did! You let that grotesque," she shuddered "spider get in here, didn't you?!"

"No! I mean, yes! I mean--" he paused "You were the one who went round pushing everyone out the way!"

"Well, I was trying to get away from your spider! Urgh! I'm going to have nightmares about that for the rest of my life!"

Neville decided to play safe and not argue back. He gave Trevor a good- night fly, and settled down in bed, hoping that no one was awake to hear him 'taking to himself' again.

"Didn't you hear what I said?! This is all your fault! Well! Answer me!"

Neville fell asleep with the noise of Melissa ranting in his ears.

This whole Guardian Angel thing didn't look like it was going be a success.
