A Boggart in the common room
Neville ran straight into Harry and the girl. "Woah Neville, what's wrong?" Harry was a little worried as to Neville being so frightened. He was curious o find out what was wrong. "Snape.................in the common room."He paused to take a breath"Yelling horrible things about me and my parents." He took another deep breath. The 3 of them began their way to the Gryffindor common room. To stop Snape or at least try to.
They reached the portrait of the fat lady. "Password?" she asked as always. "Figgle newtons" said the girl. The portrait swung open to reveal the passage to the common room. When they go their many students were crying or running out of the room and there in the middle of all this chaos was Prof. Snape. He was yelling at the students and insulting anyone who came close.
Harry didn't know what to do. Should he get Mcgonaggel or Dumbledore? All the while he was thinking, Neville was clinging to his leg, trembling all over. Suddenly the girl walked up to the spewing Prof. Sanpe and pointed her wand at him. But instead of Prof. Snape there now was a large hooded figure. A dead hand began to reach for her when she shouted "Riddikulus!"
She then began a fake laugh and the figure disappeared. Harry and many of the other students had realized by now that it had only been a Boggart. " Neville must have let it out when he opened the closet" Said Lavender. Slowly the students gathered their stature and went back to what they had been doing.
Only two minutes later Prof. Mcgonnagel came up to see what the commotion was. When she heard about the Boggart she laughed.. She then awarded the girl 10 house points for getting rid of it. She didn't smile or even seem happy about it. She nodded to the Prof and then went up to her dorm.
She sat on her bed and reflected on today's events. It was only the first day and she already felt like she had made a friend in Harry. She also wondered if she would get in trouble for hexing that Malfoy boy. She was also hungry because she had missed lunch. Dinner would be ready in about two hours so she got out some parchment and began working on her homework.
She was finished by the time dinner was ready. She was so hungry though that she skipped some of the steps and almost fell down. She got to the Great Hall and looked around for a seat. Everyone seemed to have formed a group already. She was about t leave when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Would you like to sit with us?" It was Harry and he gestured to an empty spot on the bench in between himself and the Quidditch captain Oliver wood. She smiled and nodded and sat down. She was slightly embarrassed though because she was wolfing down her food. "I missed lunch"she said with a blushing smile. The boys around her started to laugh which made her smile.
Harry looked at her. Her smile lit up her whole face. It possibly made her more beautiful than she already was. He felt a warm glow in his cheeks and realized he was blushing. He quickly hid his face behind a glass of pumpkin juice. She looked at him and smiled. She could not possibly be any happier. Maybe this year would be different. She had found a friend.
She headed back upstairs slowly. She had a full belly and was now very tired. She climbed the stairs to the girls dorm when "Hey!" she turned around, it was Harry. ' You should smile more often, You look beautiful when you do." He then kissed her on the cheek and ducked int other boys dorm before she could react. She was stunned. She felt as if her whole body was blushing. Had she possibly made more than a friend? She climbed into bed and looked out the window. She thought about what had just happened and smiled to herself. She closed her curtains and drifted into the happiest sleep she had had in a while.
