Exams are coming up and I'm getting a butt load of homework each night, so
it might take me longer to update sometimes.
Disclaimer: I, Tara (Renée/Nienna/Moony/Remus/Remie/and whatever it is that Tiffany calls me) do not own Harry Potter in any way.
Warnings: Small string of curse words from Mr. Adrian Black
Thank you to Tiffany (aka Sirius Black, Padfoot and all of those other names we call you) for thinking of the prank the Slytherins played on Kat. I could not think of a good one! Lots of extra love to you!
The Way it Should Have Been
Chapter Four: Trolls and Revenge
The Marauders left for breakfast yawning. They were extremely tired and sore from running halfway across the entire school in a few minutes. As they sat down they looked to the Slytherin table to see that Malfoy and his goons were really upset to see the Marauders still at Hogwarts. The only thing they talked about was what could be in the package.
"Did you even see the package?" Harry asked Kat. She shook her head yes as she took a bite of her toast. When she swallowed it she said that it was small, about two inches or so.
"A lot of things are that small!" Adrian cried, throwing his head on the table. Kat rolled her eyes and continued to eat breakfast.
"You seem really calm about this whole thing." he accused her. She widened her eyes.
"What? You two said that you wouldn't do anything wrong for two days. And I'm enjoying that. When the two days are up, you can presume your evil doing." They grinned at her and decided to figure some way to get back at Malfoy.
"Harry? What's that Hedwig has?" He looked up at Sarah's finger and saw Hedwig carrying a large package. She dropped it in front of him and the whole table stared at it. Suddenly another owl appeared, dropping a letter on top. Harry ripped it open first.
DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand broomstick. I don't want everyone
knowing you got one. Oliver Wood will meet you on the pitch at seven. Professor McGonagall
They stared at the note Harry passed around, before he grabbed it. They started to make their way to the exit when Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle stood in their way. Malfoy grabbed the parcel.
"It's a broomstick! First years aren't allowed to have a broomstick."
"It's a Nimbus Two Thousand thank you very much." Adrian said to his cousin. "You have a what? A Comet Two Sixty?" Kat and Harry snickered. "Nice and flashy, no where near as good as a Nimbus."
"Shut it Black. You don't even have a broomstick." Before Adrian could answer Professor Flitwick appeared.
"Something the matter?"
"Potter got a broomstick."
"Oh yes, I know all about the special occasion. What's the model?"
"A Nimbus Two Thousand." The Marauders laughed inwardly at the horror on Malfoy's face. They raced out of the hall, laughing at Malfoy's confusion.
Harry couldn't concentrate on lessons. The only thing he thought about was his brand new broomstick sitting in the boy's dorm just waiting to be admired. He wanted to fly on the Quidditch field, he missed flying, even though it hadn't been that long since he had flown.
He ate his dinner as fast as possible so that Adrian and he could open the parcel. They raced to the dorm, telling Kat and Sarah to wait for them in the common room. They ripped the paper off and onto the bed gently rolled the Nimbus Two Thousand. It had a sleek and shiny handle and every twig was in place. It was the most beautiful broomstick either had ever seen. In a daze Harry picked it up and took it to the common room for Kat and Sarah to see.
"Wow." Kat breathed softly.
"It's beautiful." Sarah whispered.
"I know." The girls continued to look it over until a few minutes before seven.
"I've got to go meet Oliver."
"Oliver Wood?" Kat asked, the broomstick forgotten.
"Yeah. He's the Quidditch coach."
"Oh, he's so cute. Percy's friends with him." Adrian rolled his eyes, clearly jealous of Kat's new attraction.
"You've become stuck on Percy."
"He is a prefect. I just want to stay on his good side!" Adrian nodded, still jealous, and Harry waved to them before heading out of the room.
He walked down and entered the field. He had never been in this one, but had seen tons of ones like it. Hundreds of seats were raised up and there were three golden hoops at the end of each side of the pitch. He was eager to fly so he immediately took off and soared around the pitch a few times.
He loved the feeling flying gave him. The wind in his hair, the rush, everything. He loved the broomstick too. It moved so easily, easier than any broom he had ever flown before. It moved at his slightest touch.
"Potter!" he floated closer to the ground to see Oliver waving at him. "Come down!" He headed to the ground and dismounted.
"You really are a natural. Alright tonight we'll just go over general stuff. We'll also practice a little bit. You'll join the team practice next week." Harry nodded and Oliver set the trunk he was carrying down and opened it. He let Harry see each of the balls (the Bludger almost wiping his nose off of his face).
"We won't practice with the Snitch, might lose it. We'll just use golf balls." Harry nodded and they mounted their brooms. Oliver threw the golf balls in all directions and Harry caught every single one. They only practiced for half an hour because it had started to get dark. As they trudged up to the castle Oliver talked about how good the team was going to be this year.
Harry was extremely busy now. Quidditch practice (the day after his first practice he had received a huge letter from his parents and the other Marauder's parents congratulating him), the piles of homework each night and Hogwarts really felt like home. The others agreed too.
On Halloween day they awoke to the delicious smells of baking pumpkin and Professor Flitwick thought it was time to make things fly in Charms. Everyone was excited because they had wanted to make things fly since Neville's toad had flown across the room. Harry and Seamus Finnigan were partners, Sarah and Neville (which she was extremely happy about; Adrian thought it seemed like a really bad idea since neither could do spells very well), and Kat and Adrian.
"And don't forget the wrist movement and the pronunciation. It could prove most deadly at times. Have at it."
Nobody seemed to be having much luck. Harry and Seamus flickered their wrists and said the incantation and the feather sat there, doing nothing. Adrian wasn't having much luck either.
Kat laughed when he began to chant. "Stop, Adrian stop."
"What?"
In the corner of his eye he saw Ron waving his arm around like a windmill and Hermione snapped at him that he was saying it wrong. He rolled his eyes and went back to watching Kat and Adrian.
"Watch." Kat held her wand out and flicked it saying. "Wingardium Leviosa." Instantly the feather flew up.
"Ah everyone look! Ms. Lupin has it!" Adrian rolled his eyes and nudged her slightly. Hermione looked disappointed because seconds after Kat's, hers had flown into the air as well.
Adrian and Harry eventually got the hang of it, but Kat was going to have to teach Sarah later in the common room. On their way there Kat remembered she had forgotten something in the Charms room and ran back to get it, saying she'd see them. They didn't see her in the common room.
"Where could she be?" Adrian wondered.
"Maybe she's at the feast already. She talked to Flitwick about something, was late, went directly there." Harry suggested.
They headed to the Great Hall, but saw no sign of Kat.
"Where could she be?" Sarah thought out loud as they sat in their normal spots, end of the table.
"Didn't you hear?" Lavender gasped to them.
"Hear what?" Adrian asked her. She and Parvati glanced at each other.
"The Slytherins played a huge prank on her earlier, completely humiliated her. She's been in the girl's bathroom crying and she refuses to come out." They sat there dumbfounded.
"Oh I am going to beat the hell out of that asshole!" Adrian snarled, planting his fist into this palm.
"Adrian!" Sarah scolded. "No cursing!"
"Fine that no good rotten jerk-oh Sarah, there's no real good none insulting curse words at the moment!"
"Fine."
"That greasy bastard! I am going to beat the sh-"
"Okay Adrian enough." He nodded and they glared at the Slytherins as all three stuffed candy into their pockets for Kat.
"When the feast is over we'll go straight to the girl's bathroom." Harry said and they nodded. They had just started to eat when Professor Quirrell rushed into the hall, his turban askew. He ran to in front of the teacher's table.
"Troll-in the dungeons-thought you ought to know." He gasped out, before collapsing into a dead faint on the floor.
All the students started to scream and it took several large firecrackers to calm everyone down.
"Prefects, please led your houses to your dorms while the teachers follow me to the dungeons." Dumbledore explained calmly.
"Follow me, stick together first years!" Percy barked, as he was totally into his element. The three followed him until Harry remembered a very important thing.
"KAT!" The other two stopped. "She doesn't know!" They gasped and headed towards a bunch of Hufflepuffs, before splitting from them and heading towards the girl's bathroom.
Suddenly they heard footsteps and they ducked behind a statue as Snape rounded the corner and disappeared.
"What's he doing?" Sarah whispered.
"No idea." Harry said before they started to follow him down the corridor.
"He's going to the third floor corridor." Adrian hissed at them. They started to follow him again, until they smelled something horrible, like old sweaty socks and dead fish.
"Ugh! What is that?" Harry pointed to Adrian's question.
"The troll left the dungeon." They gasped at the sight of the twelve foot tall troll. It had green wrinkled, lumpy skin. He had a high forehead with a really dumb look on his face. In spite of the serious situation, it reminded Harry of Crabbe and Goyle.
"It's headed to the girl's bathroom!" Sarah whispered in fear. They gasped and quietly ran towards the troll as he dragged a huge club behind him.
They ran in after it entered the room and saw Kat shrunk against the wall, eyes wide in fear. And her hair was really messy. It looked like someone had tried to give her a haircut blindfolded and slobbering drunk. It was askew and different lengths in all spots.
"Move away from it Kat!" Harry yelled at her. She didn't move.
"Try to confuse it." Harry and Sarah nodded, grabbing debris from the knocked off sinks that the troll had scraped off. Adrian ran towards Kat, trying to get her to move. She couldn't budge, the troll would have knocked her off her feet in a second.
"Oi! Pea-brain!" Harry yelled at it and hit it on the head with a metal pipe (giving Adrian the chance to run to Kat). It turned it's head and gazed stupidly at Harry and Sarah. It took a step towards Adrian and Kat though and Harry did one of the stupidest things he had done. He ran and jumped up, wrapping his arms around the troll's neck. It didn't notice Harry landing on it's back but it did notice when Harry's wand went up the troll's nose.
It screamed in pain and fear, swinging the club around. Not knowing what to do Sarah grabbed her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa." The club rose in the air before smashing into the troll's head. Harry fell off and moved quickly away from the troll as he staggered slightly before falling forward. The entire floor moved with the weight of the landing troll.
Harry slowly got to his feet and moved over to Sarah. Adrian and Kat walked around the troll and they stared at it, no words coming.
"Is, is it dead?" Sarah asked.
"No, just knocked out." Harry ripped his wand out of the troll's nose and they all groaned in disgust. "Ew, troll boogers." He wiped his wand on the troll's shirt. He was about to ask Kat what happened to her, before a loud slamming of doors and feet came from outside. They looked up just in time to see Professor McGonagall slide into the restroom, followed by Snape and Quirrell.
"Oh my goodness!" she gasped, seeing the troll. When Quirrell saw the troll he whimpered softly and leaned against the door. Snape was bent over the troll and McGonagall's nostrils flared with anger.
"Explain yourselves! What were you thinking?"
"Well, you see..." Harry, Adrian and Sarah started.
"It's my fault." Kat spoke up instantly. The teachers gave her a surprised look. So did her best-friends. Kat was lying to a teacher.
"And how it that?"
"I've read a lot about trolls and I thought I could handle it until the teachers came. I was wrong, it they hadn't followed me I'd be dead." She lowered her eyes and McGonagall gave her a sad glance.
"Five points on your part Ms. Lupin. That was a rash action that I'm surprised you took. And for the three of you five points to each of you. For sheer dumb luck. The students are finishing the feast. And what happened to your hair?"
"Some of the Slytherins decided to play a joke on me earlier. They hacked it off." Kat's hair was her pride and joy and she sucked a sob in.
"Well let me fix it." She muttered something under her breath as she waved her wand. Instantly Kat's hair looked like normal. "Professor Snape will deal with them. Give them their names tomorrow in class."
McGonagall looked at Snape before leaving. He sneered at the four of them and left as well.
"You'd probably should go back to your common room." Quirrell's voice cracked and the three left him in the restroom. When they were out of ear shot Kat hugged all three of them.
"Thank you so much."
"What exactly did they do to you?" Adrian asked her when she hugged him. She let go and shook her head.
"You'll find out sooner or later."
"Kat tell us so I can kill him."
"I promise Adrian, you'll find out." He nodded and the three went up to the Gryffindor common room as Harry and Adrian thought of a good revenge.
The next morning the four walked to breakfast, exhausted. "Well I guess the whole "stay out of trouble for two days" didn't go so well huh?" Kat asked them.
"Kat I really don't think we're supposed to stay out of trouble." Harry said and they laughed. They reached the Great Hall and Kat faltered.
"Come on. I won't let them do anything to you." Adrian whispered in her ear. She nodded and let them led her into the great hall.
"Well well. I'm surprised to see your face again. And look your hair is normal." Malfoy called from the Slytherin table, waving a picture around. Kat kept her face ahead, but Harry and Adrian would have loved to tear him apart.
They say at the table, the other three houses giving Kat sympathetic looks. Harry and Adrian had gotten who did it the prank to Kat and they had devised a plan. They had heard from Parvati and Lavender what had happened.
They ambushed her and burned all of her homework and notes (Hermione had giver Kat hers in the common room to recopy). They stole her wand and Malfoy put a binding spell on her as Pansy hacked off her hair. Worse they had taken a picture of it (it was mailed to everyone that night, but Kat had won all sympathy from the other houses). When Harry and Adrian saw it they got so mad they almost took off to the Slytherin dorms.
Harry and Adrian faced the Slytherins so Kat couldn't see them. They started to eat and breakfast was going as usual until screams of terror erupted from the Slytherin table. Everyone turned to see some of them jump up and start to run away.
Their food had apparently turned to flies and spiders and rats (at least that's what they were screaming). Only those involved in the prank had their food changed. After a few minutes of fear, they noticed that all of the food wasn't real. It was a spell.
Everyone started to laugh when they realized that they were all hallucinating. Kat turned towards Harry and Adrian.
"I'm guessing you had something to do with this?" They nodded, laughing to hard to speak.
"Hey! We helped!" Fred and George said from behind Adrian and Harry.
"They did the spell for us." They grinned evilly, before winking and bowing to Kat. They walked away quickly before Percy got suspicious.
"Thank you guys." They smiled at her.
"Hey, no one does something to our friend without hell being paid right back." Adrian said, winking at her.
"Don't curse Adrian." Kat said, rolling her eyes. His face fell as Harry and Sarah roared with laughter.
