Chapter 9: Trevor Does Breakfast and Potions
…
A few hours after the bathroom incident, Neville woke up to the sounds of voices talking.
"Yeah, Vermont is very nice, but I actually like England better... It's much warmer." He heard Trevor, or rather Ty, say. He opened his eyes to see Trevor talking to Dean and Seamus. They were all seated on Ty's bed. Everyone else was either asleep or already in the great hall.
"So, did you have a girlfriend back there?" Seamus asked with a wink. Ty smiled.
"For a while yes, but we broke it off before I left. I figured it would cause less pain to end it now then to pursue it any longer." He responded calmly.
"That's rough mate... But there are plenty of eligible girls here. You got plenty of good things goin' for ya." Dean said.
"Like what?" Ty asked.
"For one thing you're from America. Chicks are really into foreigners. You're intelligent... Apparently they're into smart guys too, that's why Seamus never gets dates." Dean explained, getting a smack on the side of the head as a reward from Seamus.
"What? It's true!" Dean retorted, smiling mischieviously.
"Is not!" Seamus yelled back. He then grabbed a pillow and began to pummel Dean with it, who in return grabbed a pillow of his own and began to hit Seamus back. Soon they were wreslting on the floor. Trevor just watched amused before looking at Neville and, seeing that he was awake, walked gracefully over to him.
"Good Morning." He said to the now sitting up Neville who smiled slightly in responese.
"Morning..." He said back. Neville then glanced around the room. Most of the beds were empty, only Ron still asleep and he always slept until the last minute unless Harry or someone else woke him up. "What time is it?" Neville asked, hoping it wasn't too late to get a decent breakfast.
"About 8:15" (A/N: Okay... In my fic classes start at 8:45... cuz... I don't feel like actually locating my books and seeing if it actually says when it startsXD) Trevor told him.
"Oh, alright. Wanna go get some breakfast?" Neville asked, yawning and standing up. Trevor nodded and smiled.
"Ok, I just have to get ready." Neville said, stepping over the two wrestling teens and into the bathroom. About 10 minutes later they were walking down to the great hall, Trevor humming loudly.
"Nevvy... We almost thereeee?" He complained. Neville sighed, knowing that the little kid side of Trevor was back.
"Almost Ty... Just hold on... It's only a few more halls down." he reassured him. Trevor sighed dramatically and loudly, a pout forming on his lips. Neville looked at him exasperatedly.
"Well it's not my fault. And there's nothing I can do to make it go any faster, or anything you can do that won't get you discovered. Besidess we're practically there..." Neville said.
"Aww, why can't we just fly there? Like birds!" He suggested. Neville groaned.
"First of all, I thought you were afraid of birds. Sec---"
"Ahh! Where's the bird!" Trevor cried, holding on to Neville tightly, beginning to get hysterical.
"Ty, there are no birds! It was just... You said... Alright forget I said it. We just can't fly there because it would be noticable. Besides, we're here anyways. Now, act like Ty, alright?" He asked. Trevor grinned and nodded. They walked into the Great Hall. Neville looked around the crowded table for a place for them to sit.
"Oh right there Neville!" Trevor said, pointing to two empty seats next to Harry. Neville noticed Harry was looking at something. He followed Harry's gaze and saw that a certain blonde Slytherin was what Harry had been looking at. The Slytherin was smirking and looking right back at Harry. Neville didn't know whether to laugh or feel disgusted. He and Trevor sat down.
"Morning Harry!" Trevor said loudly, capturing the other's attention. Harry practically knocked over his glass in surprise.
"O-oh h-hello there... U-uh... Ty." He said, desperately trying to regain his composure
"Oh sorry, didn't mean to scare you there..." Trevor said, smiling politely. Harry blushed slightly, not daring to look back over towards Draco.
"Anything wrong Harry? You're face is bright red... Maybe you should go to the nurse." He suggested. Harry just shook his head frantically.
"N-no, every thing's alright. I-I'm fine. Well... I'm done with breakfast... I'm… Uh… Going to get to class..." He told them, grabbing his books and walking quickly out of the great hall. A few moments later, Trevor and Neville saw Draco walk out just as fast as Harry. Neville and Trevor looked at each other and started to laugh.
"What's so funny? And where's Harry?" A voice said from behind. They turned around to see Ron.
"Nothing... And Harry finished his breakfast and went to class." Trevor told Ron calmly. Ron looked at them for a moment, suspecting them of keeping something from him, but brushed it off as he sat in Harry's now vacant seat.
"So, you going to be taking classes with us today?" Ron asked beginning to eat his food.
"Apparently… There was a schedule on my bed this morning when I woke up. You guys are just going to have to help me with what I need to bring..." Trevor said. They nodded.
"Also, I was thinking. Maybe you should look up information on Vermont and America today. You know, just so your info's true... You know Hermione, if there's something wrong with what you say, she will find out." Ron said.
"Where is Hermione anyway?" Neville asked.
"I think she was going to skip breakfast today so she could study for the potions test." He said. Neville practically choked on his toast.
"The test's... Today?" He asked, panic beginning to rise in his voice.
"Yeah, don't worry though. It's done in pairs. So, just pray you're with someone who knows what they're doing." He reassured his friend.
They finished eating breakfast in peace. Trevor and Neville both wondered whether or not Harry and Draco would make it to Potions on time. After they were done eating, the three walked back to the dorms.
"So, there's something I want to ask you two..." Ron began. "You know... I've walked in on you two kissing twice... So... What exactly is going on?" He asked.
"Ronny, I told ya there's no need to be jealous!" Trevor cried.
"Trust me I am NOT jealous... Just curious..." He retorted.
"About what?" Trevor asked obliviously.
"Are you guys going out?" Ron asked, beginning to realize he'd probably never get a straight answer.
"Oooo... Hey, did you know Draco and Harry are going out?" Trevor asked.
"Don't try and change the sub--... What?" Ron cried.
"Oooh... You dooon't... Well, they are!" Trevor said, giggling. Neville sighed.
"They are Ron. Last night I had to take Trevor to the bathroom and on the way back, we saw them... Um... In the throughs of passion... In an empty classroom..." He said, cringing at the memory. Ron looked at them, mouth agape.
"You're kidding right?" he asked, stunned. Trevor shook his head quickly.
"Look! They're right in there!" He cried excitedly, pointing to a door. Ron looked at them disbelievingly as he walked over to the door. Peering in, to his surprise, he saw Draco pinning Harry to a desk and snogging him pratically to death. Ron turned a shade of white before backing up slowly.
"W-what the… When did that happen!" He asked in a shocked tone. Neville shrugged and Trevor just smirked in triumph.
"Told ya!" He boasted, Ron cringed.
"Argh, this is not what I need first thing in the morning..." Ron complained as they continued their trek back to the Gryffindor common room.
"Well, wasn't waking up what you needed first?" Trevor asked, stupid grin on his face. Ron sighed.
"You know what I mea--ok maybe you don't...Bloody hell! I'm scarred for life!" he cried. They arrived at the portrait of the fat lady a few moments later.
"Shynala!" Ron cried and the portrait swung open. They went through the hole in the wall and a few moments later, they were in the Common room. Ron sighed. "Now let's get your stuff and get the bloody hell down to class for a fun filled session of Snape!" He said with fake cheeriness.
"Aww, leave Snape alone... He's not so bad. 'Cept when he makes fun of my Nevvy." Trevor said, grabbing a hold of Neville's sleeve. Neville smiled slightly and rolled his eyes. He then took Trevor's schedule and read it as Ron and Trevor began to argue.
"You don't even know the bloody git!"
"Yes I do!"
"Oh really? How do you know Severus Snape?"
"I don't know Sev, who told you that?" You could see the vain in Ron's forehead pumping furiously.
"Alright, let's see, you're going to need your potions, transfiguration, and charms supplies before lunch." He said and went over to Trevor's bed and gathered up the items needed.
They then went the long journey to potions. Ron complained the entire way to Trevor and Neville about Harry being gay and kept repeating the looong talk he was going to have with Harry a little later. Finally, they arrived outside of the Potions classroom, with five minutes to spare.
"Okay, here goes the first class..." Neville said, hoping Trevor would do alright. Trevor giggled and opened the door. People looked curiously at Trevor, some asking him questions, which were graciously answered. Finally, a few minutes later, Professor Snape walked in.
"Alright, alright, everyone sit down and be quiet. Apparently we have a new student today. His name is Ty Katimo. I hope that Mr. Katimo doesn't feel he is overly special or will get any special privledges just because he is a new student from a different country." Snape droned on. "Now, Mr. Katimo, sit down where there's an empty seat." He stated. Trevor merely smiled and nodded, walking over to the seat next to Neville and sat down.
"As most of you should know, the potions test is today. Since some of us are not competent to work by ourselves," Snape made eye contact with Neville. "I have decided to pair you off." Neville blushed in ebarassment and Trevor glared.
"To make this easier, you are to work with the person sitting next to you. For this portion of the test you are to complete a Raligsa potion, which does what, Mr. Katimo?" He asked.
"It causes the drinker to begin to glow." he stated. Snape's face fell a bit.
"Yes, that is correct. I'm glad you know of it, since you are paired with Longbottom, whom you probably can't rely on very much." He said. Neville looked down at the ground and Trevor growled slightly, but quickly regained his composure,
"I'm sure Neville will do fine." He responded confidently and with a small smile. Snape frowned and looked at Trevor for a moment, as if trying to figure something out, but then snapped back to reality.
"Alright class, get to work. Oh, and by the way, at the end of the class, one of the two students in the team must consume the potion in order to be graded." He informed the class. The class began to get up and move. Trevor and Neville got up and went to work in the back of the room.
"Lessee noww..." Trevor said to himself. He picked up a handful of assorted ingrediants and put them in the cauldren and began to stir, humming slightly to himself.
"Ty that's... Not how it says how to make it in the book." Neville said, not wanting to fail and have Snape blame him for it.
"Trust me Nevvy..." He said, throwing in a few more ingrediants carelessly as he stirred.
"But Ty... It doesn't say to do that anywhere in the book!" Neville protested, trying to show Trevor the actual directions.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! I think..." Trevor said, grinning. Neville groaned to himself, preparing for failure. The cauldren began to bubble. "Hope it's supposed to do that... Oh well!" Trevor giggled, stirring and throwing more things into the blue tinted potion. He then put some of it into a flask and set it on to the desk.
"All done!" he cried. Neville sighed hopelessly, knowing it was too late to start over and didn't want to hurt Trevor's feelings anyway by telling him it was wrong.
Soon it was the end of class and Snape was going around from pair to pair to see how well the potion worked. Finally, he made it over to Trevor and Neville.
"Alright... Longbottom, you drink it." He said smirking. Neville sighed fearfully and picked up the flask the potion was in. He drank it and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, after not fainting or feeling any pain, he opened his eyes and looked at himself. He was glowing.
"...It worked..." Snape said disbelievingly, frowning. He looked for something... Anything that could be wrong with it. But there wasn't anything. Trevor smirked.
"Told you Neville could do it." Trevor said. Snape looked calmly at Trevor, studying his face.
"Five points from Gryffindor for talking back." He said calmly. Severus studied Trevor's face once more before moving on to the next pair.
"Thank you Ty..." Neville said, feeling good that someone had stuck up for him. Trevor smiled at him.
"No problem. Now, let's clean up this mess." He said and they did so, Neville smiling the whole time.
Soon, potion class was over and Trevor, Ron, and Neville left the class room to get to Transfiguration. Snape straightened his desk, getting ready for the next class of first years.
"So, Longbottom finally has someone to stick up for him… It's bloody well about time..." He said to himself, smiling slightly, then frowning immediately after realizing he was smiling, then scowling at the fact that he had about 100 papers to grade.
…
A/N: Ah sorry to end it like that-- For some reason I had trouble thinking of a good ending for this, so I decided to end it with Sevvy (who btw is one of my favorite characters due to the fact he is--in my eyes--extremely misunderstood and is cool). Anyways, hoped you liked it. And next chapter (as I said in the beginning author's note) will actually have the plot go forward as we learn more about Trevor and his family and why they hated him so much (besides the fact he's extremely annoying and ate the important stuffXD) Oh yeah, and please review Thank you!
