As days passed, Harry and his friends tried not to think about what the Cerburus on the third floor was garding. But everything going on in their classes made it hard for them to forget. Except in Potions. For the first time in years, Professor Snape was finally giving the students proper lessons.

Harry also had his Quidditch workout with Oliver who was amazed on what Harry knew from Quidditch Through The Ages.

One Saturday morning, As Harry and the others were at breakfast, after he had to stop Tom and Jerry's antics again, Something was seen very strange about Luna today. She had no shoes on.

"Luna. Where's you shoes?" Neville asked her.

"It's the Nargles. They like to hide things from me. But they come back once in a while." She said to him.

"Are you sure?" Jerry asked. "Because one time I over heard Sally-Anne Perks calling you Looney."

"And what about some of those second year girls?" Tom asked. "They also made fun of you except for Hermione and one of the Gryffindor chasers Katie Bell."

"And The other boys form the upper years." Said Jerry. "Fred and George and Percy and Oliver are respecting you. But some of the others don't."

"And Angelina and Alicia and all the other prefects. They respect you." Said Tom.

"Oh no." Said Ginny. "Luna it's happening again."

"What's happening again?" Harry asked.

"A lot of kids our age used to pick Luna around because of the magizean her father works on. The Quibbler." Ginny explained.

"My gran's into that magizean. It's a mystery to her if what's in it exists or not. But we found it very intresting." Said Neville.

"But why do all of this?" Jerry asked. "Wacksperts. We know they exist after I saw a lot of them in Malfoy's head with Luna's spectre Specs."

"Hey! I was the one using those Spectre Specs!" Tom shouted.

"Both of you were using spectre specs." Harry quickly said before things could get out of hand again. "What am I gonna do with you guys?"

"Right." Said Jerry. "Anyway Luna. Besides us, Ron, Hermione, the other Quidditch players, and the prefects, everyone in Gryffindor is disliking you."

"Not everyone." Said Ginny. "Parvati and Lavender are really nice to Luna. Dean and Seamus were in the Quibbler as well."

"Luna, you can't just let this happen." Said Harry. "You gotta tell the teachers."

"It'll only make things worse. Nargles like to do this to me."

"Not anymore they won't." Said Neville. "We're gonna talk to McGonagall about this after classes."

"It's Saturday Neville." Said Harry.

"Oh. Sorry."

"Never mind. We'll find out if things will go fine soon. If not, we'll go tell McGonagall about Luna's trouble."

"Professor McGonagall Harry." Said Ginny.

"I know. But we can't just go telling her about this. We at least need to show her the evedince."


Well, things went on as Harry and his friends went on with their classes. Of course Harry still had to stop Tom and Jerry's chases sense the whole school was now getting turned upside down by the cat and mouse.

At times as days passed, Luna's stuff returned and then vanished again and then returned again. And it was hard without finding the evedince to prove who was taking her stuff.

Until Halloween came. While it was the day Harry's parents died, that didn't stop him form wanting to enjoy the holiday. And because it's a holiday, classes were cut to Magical Theory and Charms for Gryffindor first years.

Charms was tought by Professor Flitwick, head of the Ravenclaw house. He was the size of a house elf but was very powerful with magic.

"Good day class. Today we will be preforming the symple wand movment to make objects fly. Now remember students. Swish and Flick."

"Swish and Flick." The class repeated.

"Good. The incantation. Wingardium Leviosa. Got your feathers ready? And go."

The class began to give the spell a go. Not many were doing good.

Harry looked at his feather. And then he looked at Neville who was still having a hard time sense it was his fathers wand.

"Sorry Harry. But Gran won't let me get a new wand. She says I have to use my fathers wand because it'll work for me."

"Like I said, she forgot what Mr. Olivander's words were. The wand chooses the wizard. But she really wants you to use that wand, then the best way is to focus really heard on your magic."

"Uh you sure it'll work?"

"Trust me. Focus."

"Okay." Neville said as he turned to his father. "Wingardium Leviosa."

It worked. Neville got his father in the air the same time Harry did.

"Oh splended." Flitwick said when he saw it. "Look here everyone. Mr. Potter and Mr. Longbottom have done it. Harry you're just like your mother after all. But do keep close watch on your cat and mouse. They just ran in here last piroid."

"Yes sir." Harry said as he was getting annoyed on turning his back on Tom and Jerry.

BOOM!

Everyone tunerd to Seamus who didn't get his feather to fly but explode instead.

"I think I said it wrong Professor." He said.


Outside the classroom once Charms ended, Harry found Tom and Jerry swinging sticks on each other as he ran to them and stopped them.

"Guys stop it! You're gonna get me in trouble!"

Before Tom and Jerry could say anything, some older Gryffindor's close by were talking.

"Hey. Look at Looney Lovegood."

"Uh oh." Jerry exclaimed.

And Harry just realized Luna didn't have her shoes again.

"Oh how could I've been so stupid?"

"What is it Harry?" Ginny asked as she and Neville aprotched him.

"Luna's shoes. You know she's rearly seen with them on. Those were the evidence we needed the whole time."

Before they could do something, Luna already ran away from her pears upset.

"Luna wait!" Ginny called to her but she kept running until she was out of site.

"We gotta find her." Said Neville.


Unfortintly, Harry, Ginny, Neville, and not even Tom and Jerry had luck finding Luna. They went to see if she was at the Halloween feast. The Great Hall looked ready for the holiday. The floating candles had jack-o-lanters in their places and it was raining outside as lightning was seen through the windows.

Still, no sign of Luna. The five were starting to worry about her.

"Where is she?" Ginny asked.

"Who?" Parvati asked as she overheard her.

"Luna. We've been looking for."

"Oh. She won't come out of the girls bathroom on the first floor. She's been in there all afternoon crying."

"Guys." Harry said to them. "We need to show McGonagall the evidence now."

Before they had the chance to talk to her, Quirrell came rushing into the hall panicing.

"TROLL! IN THE DUNGONS! TROLL IN THE DUNGONS!"

Everyone looked at him.

"Thought you'd otta know." He said as he clapped onto the floor.

All the students began to panic as well. Trolls may be stupid but they were also big and dangerous.

"SILINCE!" Dumbledore shouted. "Everyone will please not panic! Prefects. Escort your house back to the dormitories. Teachers. Follow me to the dungons."

And off they all went. As they did, Jerry was wondering.

"How could a troll get in if they arn't very smart?" He asked.

"Maybe Peeves let it in as a joke." Said Tom.

"It's no laughing matter even he knows that." Said Neville. Until he grabbed the others by their arms.

"What is it?" Ginny asked.

"Luna. She doesn't know."

Once he said that, the five sprinted at the girls bathroom on the first floor. Just as they were about to reach it, they all stopped and covered their noses.

"What is that small?" Tom asked.

And then, a huge shadow was seen.

"I think the troll left the dungons." Said Ginny.

They hid behind the wall as the shadows owner was then revealed. A huge mountain troll was seen stomping its way,

"It's headed for the girls bathroom." Said Jerry. "If Luna wasn't in there we could just lock it in."

Very quickly, they ran to the bathroom. They made it just in time to see Luna backing away from the troll.

"Luna move!" Ginny shouted. But also got the trolls attention. "Uh oh."

The five quickly moved before the troll got them as it swang its club onto the stalls. Tom wasn't lucky as the peaces of wood clappsed all over him. He felt himself getting splintered all over his body as he jumped out and,

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

By then, Jerry tried confusing it by swinging his mallet on its feet.

"Ha ha! How do you like that?!"

It didn't as it swang its club on him and knocked him onto Ginny as they and Luna fell down under the sinks.

"It that what you got?" Asked a very dizzy Jerry.

"Look out!" Ginny shouted as the troll tried to get them but moved as the club only hit the sinks.

Harry dashed to the troll and grabbed onto its club. He then ended up getting lifted into the air until he ended up on the trolls neck as it tried to shake him off. Until Harry ended up slamming his wand through its nose.

"Ew." Said Neville.

Until then, Harry fell of the neck as the troll grabbed his leg and tried to hit him with its club but he kept dodging.

"Do something!" He shouted to Neville.

"Do what?"

"Anything!"

Neville then knew what to do. He pulled out his wand and amed at the club and,

"Wingardium Leviosa."

It worked. The club flew out of the trolls hand. It looked up at the club s it floated over its head. Until Neville broke the spell and the club hit the head. Just as Tom got all the splinters off his body, the club landed on his neck.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed with his tong flinging out of his mouth.

Dizzied, the troll began to fall down. Harry quickly moved away before the troll landed on its back.

"Guh." Tom gasped as he got his neck free. "Is it dead?"

"No. Just knocked out." Harry said as he got his wand out of the nose.

"Ew!" All of them shouted.

"Troll boogies." Ginny said as she gave Harry a wet towal to wipe his wand clean.

Just then, the door opened as the teachers rushed in.

"Merlin's beard." Said McGonagall. "Explane yourselves. The four of you."

"Luna was in here all afternoon." Said Harry.

"What?"

"A lot of our house mates." Said Nevile. "They hate her because she's different."

McGonagall listened as Harry, Ginny, Neville, and even Tom and Jerry told them who was nice to Luna and who wasn't and showed the evidence that Luna rearly had shoes on.

"I will not stand for this. I am going to have a talk with everyone once we return to the dormitory. You three should be lucky though. Not many first years could take on a full grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. 15 points will be reorded for sear dumb luck."

"I think you better go." Said Quirrell. "It's gonna wake up."

And off they went.


"Attention please." McGonagall said once she had returned the six to Gryffindor Tower. "Never have I've been this disapointed at my own house. From what I heard from Mr. Potter, many of you have been mistreating Ms. Lovegood for being different. To those of you who hasn't," That was Ron and Hermione and the prefects and the Quidditch team and many others. "I thank you for your kindness tords Ms. Lovegood. The rest of you. Return everything you took from her and you will serve detention tomorrow evening."

Without hesitating, everyone who took Luna's stuff returned them to her and told her they were sorry.

Once that was done, Harry and his friends went to the tables added to resume the feast as Ron and Hermione walked to them.

"Ginny told us you guys faught the troll." Said Ron. "I gotta admit, it was very brave of you."

"But also stupid." Said Hermione. "We could have lost points."

"And it took us fighting a troll to show McGonagall the evidence about what was going on with Luna." Said Jerry.

"Besides, she didn't take points off of anyone for doing all of that to her. Probily because today's a holiday." Said Tom.

"So? That doesn't mean you can go and brake the rules."

"If we haven't gone after Luna she would have been dead." Said Ginny.

Hermione then turned to Luna. The look on her face told her everything.

"I guess rule are meant to be broken for friends." She said quietly. "But still, don't think about doing those things."

From this day, nobody made fun of Luna again.


Authors note:

Yeah. I figgered even in Gryffindor, Luna world still be mistreated. Plus I still wanted to have the fight with the troll included.

I need to work on my spelling. I'm misspelling a lot of words. I don't know if I can try but I'll see if I can.
