Disclamer: I don't own any Harry Potter people or places that J. right but I do own my oc's.
The next morning I came too from Hermione shaking me.
"Sam get up," She said. "We need you to wake up."
"What is it?" I asked sleepy.
"Colin's been attack" She said.
"What, Who?" I asked throwing myself up.
"Colin Creevey, the little first year that follows Harry like a lost puppy," She said back. "We need to start the potion so get dress and meet me down in the common room in a few minutes."
"Fine" I said pushing myself out of my warm bed into the cold room even if they was a heater it was still cold.
I quickly grabbed a pair of jeans with a black t-shirt and black all stars and a black jumper. Brushing my hair and teeth and pulling my hair into a ponytail. I walk down to the common room were Hermione was waiting wearing one of her uniform.
"You're ready then?" she asked.
"Yes I'm ready were Ron?" I asked.
"He's down eating in the hall" Hermione said.
"I'll meet you down there then." I said back heading down to the hall before Hermione could say a thing.
As I entered the hall I noticed Ryan and Anna were watching me like hawks and I saw Dustin, Peter, and Julia were eating I slipped right next to Julia. "Morning" I said sleepy.
"Sam you did great yesterday." Peter said.
"Thanks Pete" I said back, grabbing a piece of bacon.
"Sam are you ready to go to the library?" Hermione asked.
"Yea I'm good later Guys," I said. "Come on Ron." I grabbed Ron by the ear and pulled him and forced him to follow with the Twins laughing in the back.
As we up to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom it was fine till someone came in. We all ran into empty stall.
"It's me" I heard Harry voice.
"Harry," I heard Hermione said. "You gave us a flight, how's your arm?"
"Fine," Harry said back as we came out of the stalls to help with the potion.
"We came to meet you, but we decided to get a head start on the potion," Ron said. "We've decided this is the best place to hide it."
"Colin Creevey was-" Harry started.
"We know all ready," I said. "If you guys don't need me I need to read my post and write my Parents back." Walking out and headed to the tower making sure Ryan wasn't be hide me or Anna for that fact too.
"Password?" The pink lady asked.
"Pine Hollow" I said back the door opened and I slip through the door and headed up to my dorm only to find Sagitta was there waiting. "Are you a mind reader Sagitta?" He flew to my shoulder I started to rub his head he then drop the letter and waited. I quickly rip the letter open to see it was from Dad it said "Dear Sam, Well done my little girl kept trying and you're Mother is so proud-Dad" I quickly wrote a note back. "Thanks Dad and I will keep trying" In the second week of December Professor McGonagall came asking who were staying. Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley signed the list. I heard Malfoy were staying the potion was half way done we still needed the bicorn horn and the boom slang skin.
"What we need," Hermione said on Thursday afternoon double potions. "Is a diversion then one of us can sneak into Snape's office and take what we need," We look that her in nervously. "I think I'd better do the actual stealing." "You two will be kicked out if you get into any more trouble, and I got a clean record. So all you need to do is cause enough mayhem to keep Snape for a few minutes."
Potions were in one of the large dungeons, twenty cauldrons stood steaming in between the wooden desks where the ingredients were put on. I was in one group with Julia and Dustin and Peter were another today we were making a swelling solution. Snape would prowl like a snake around the cauldrons making wasp like remarks to us Gryffindors while the Slytherin laughed. Adam's was one of Snape favored students like Malfoy. Julia and I'd potion were fine I had filled in Julia of the plan. Harry disappeared for a few minutes and then up back up and threw the firework and throwing it and landed in Goyle's cauldrons. The potion exploded I pulled Julia down coving her and myself from the potion. Showering all the Slytherin Malfoy's nose became the size of the balloon; Goyle's hands became the size of dinner plates. Adam's lips became huge, and Anna ears became the sign of melons. Hermione slipped in Snape office.
"Silence! Silence!" Snape yelled. "Anyone who has been splashed, come here for a deflating daft, when I found out who did this."
I tried not to smirked as most of the Slytherin hurry ahead, as the whole thing went on, Hermione slip back into the dungeon her robes budding she quickly went pass me handing the bicorn horn I slide it back into my bag. After everyone had a swing of antidote and the swelling went down, Snape swept over to Goyle's cauldron and scooped out the black remains of the firework everyone became dead quiet.
"If I ever found out who did this," Snape growled. "I shall make sure the person or persons are expelled"
Ten minutes later the bell rang thankfully allowing us to sneak back up to Myrtle's bathroom. I handed Hermione the horn as she added the other stuff into the potion.
"It'll be ready in two weeks" Hermione said.
A week later as we headed to dinner they was a small knot of people gathered around the notice board reading something, Seamus and Dean waved us over.
"They're starting a dueling club!" Seamus said. "First meeting tonight!"
"I'm in are you guys going?" I asked.
After dinner around eight we hurried back to the great hall the dining tables were gone and in place was a golden stage with thousands of candles floating over are head's. Some people were waiting with are wands ready and who was going to teach us.
"Someone told me Flitwick was a dueling champ when he was young maybe it'll be him" Rae said to us.
"As long as it's not-" Harry started but stop as Lockhart come on the stage in deep plum color robes with Snape in normal black. Lockhart waved his arm to quiet us down.
"Gather around, gather round! Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent! Now, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling club, to train you all in case you ever need to defined your selves. Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape," Lockhart said as I started to tune out from Lockhart talking but watch as Snape smirked. They both raised their wands.
"Expelliarmus!" Snape yelled with a flash of scarlet light and Lockhart went flying into the wall be hide him and sprawl on the floor I laughed a little under my breath as Hermione dance around on her tip toes.
"He is all right?" She asked.
"Who cares?" Harry and Ron said back.
"That was a disarming charm as you see, I've lost my wand ah, thank you, Miss Brown yes, an excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind my saying so, it was very obvious what you were going to do. If I had wanted to stop you it would be too easy," Lockhart said. "I'm going to come amongst you now and put you into pairs. Professor Snape, if you'd like to help me-" Lockhart pair Neville with Justin Finch-Fletchley and Snape got to Harry and Ron first he pair Malfoy and Harry together and Ron with Finnigan. Snape also pair me with Hilts and Julia with Dean. Lockhart came over and pair Hermione with Millicent Bulstrode a huge girl with short black hair she could rival and hairy rat more then and human, Dustin was pair with Adam's. "Face your partners" Lockhart said "and bow!"
"Expelliarmus!" I yelled shooting the spell that Anna sending her flying back Dustin did the same to Ryan as a haze of greenish smoke for everywhere. Neville and Justin were on ground lying there panting, Ron was holding up Seamus apologizing for whatever his wand has caused. Hermione was in a headlock by Millicent both of their wands were on the floor. I quickly ran and pulled Hermione out as Harry put Millicent off Hermione.
"Thanks Sam" Hermione said breathily.
"No Problem." I said back.
"Dear, dear," Lockhart said walking through the crowd after the duels. "Up you go, Macmillan…. Careful there, Miss Fawcett… Pinch it hard, it'll stop bleeding in a second, Boot" I tune him out as they pulled Harry and Malfoy up on the golden stage. Snape was telling Malfoy something I couldn't really hear. My brain started to cry in pain thankfully Rose and Will had came to the meeting, Rose pulled me out of the great hall.
"Do you feel better?" Will asked.
"A little." I said back.
"Will take her back up to Gryffindor Tower," Rose said "And gets one of the older girls to take her up for some rest"
"But Rose-"I started but have Rose cut me off.
"No you are going up now!" Rose growled out.
"Come on Rose-" I started.
"No you're going now or I will have Will carried you up!" Rose yelled back.
"Fine I'll go" I said back giving in.
As I said this Dustin came running out with Peter.
"Sam where are you going?" Dustin asked.
"She going up to her dorm Rees" Will said.
"I'll take her up Will" Dustin, and Peter said.
"Rees you don't have do this why not got back inside" Will said back anger growled inside him I could feel it I couldn't understand why.
"No it all right Will, Rose" Peter said. "Were got her up to the tower and she get the rest she needed and she be as right as rain."
"Fine but she going right up and that final got it." Will said.
"Yes sir," Dustin said as him and Peter pushes me ahead towards Gryffindor tower, after getting out of earshot. "What wrong Sam?"
"It just my brain ok." I said back. We counted to Gryffindor tower till we got to the pink lady.
"Password?" She asked.
"Pine Hollow" Peter said.
She nodded and opened the gateway we walking through.
"Dustin I'll meet you up there in a few second, I need to talk to Sam for something alright." Peter said.
"Yea sure see you up there, See you later Sam." Dustin said and waved to me, I quickly hid the blush that was going on my face.
"You like him" Peter whispered after Dustin was gone up to their dorm room and was not of ear shot.
"Stop it," I whispered back. "Come on Pete stop it do like him but don't say anything please."
"You're secret safe with me Sam now tell me what wrong with your brain lately?" Peter asked.
"I had no idea to be honesty Peter stop I need it to stop or else." I said back as we sat on the couch and lay my head on his shoulder. He patted my head.
"You could be…no it couldn't be-"
"It couldn't be what?" I asked pushing my head off his shoulder, He wouldn't look me eyes. "Pete tells me please?"
"I was reading in the Sullivan library in a old book older then old it said something about a Sullivan who had more than one gifts," He said. "That first I didn't believe but now I think you may be at Sullivan."
"Pete you got to be joking, it can't be real from what my Dad said we only get one gift not two," I said back. "I'm going to get some sleep Pete see you in the morning."
The next morning in Breakfast I found out about the double attacks on Justin and Nearly headless Nick. Most people worry about Nick's fate more because he was a ghost and already dead. I also found out that Harry is a Parseltongue.
Tell me what you think but please be kind about thanks.
