The Magic Within

Chapter 5: Halloween: New Secrets and New Friendships

Sitting in the library with Harry and Ron, Abbie was reading the Daily Prophet. As Ron groaned Abbie looked over and said, "Having problems?" Ron looked over and said, "Yes if somebody would let me look at their essay would could in the Great Hall and having lunch." "Don't look at me. You should have finished it already if you wanted to be eating lunch now." Abbie flipped the page of the Daily Prophet over and said, "I don't believe it!"

Harry looked over and said, "What is it?" "The date today's Halloween and I forgot to get my little brother something. I'll buy him some of the wizarding candy and send it to him." Ron said, "That's always a good choice." Harry finished up his paper and put it in his bag as Abbie rolled up her newspaper and put it back in her school bag. Harry then said, "Excited for Charms class today?"

"Yeah it's going to be awesome." What I can't believe is how festive this place is for Halloween." Harry said, "I know. What did you do for Halloween back home?" Abbie quietly laughed, "My brother and I would do a group costume. Like last year we decided to do superheroes. I went as Wonder Woman and my brother was Robin."

As Ron finished his essay Harry said, "Sounds like fun." Ron then said, "Can we go get some lunch now?" Abbie nodded and said, "Want to sit at the Hufflepuff table or the Gryffindor table?" Harry and Ron looked over at each other and said, "Hufflepuff."

The three of them walked into the Great Hall and took a seat at the end of the table and as Abbie was putting Corkscrew Casserole onto Harry and Ron's dish Heather said, "Abbie don't put that on your own dish. They us e a lot of milk and some pieces have nuts in that and unless you want to spend the rest of the day in the hospital wing."

Abbie nodded and said, "Thanks Heather." As she took a sandwich for the pile she said, "What? Alright I have a severe nut allergy basically my throat swells up and I can't breathe and I'm lactose intolerant." Harry said, "That has to be a hard thing to live with." "It can be annoying. But you learn and adapt."

After lunch Abbie said, "Come on guys. Let's head up to the Charm's classroom."

As the Hufflepuff's and Gryffindor's sat down in the Charm's classroom Dana sat down next to Abbie and said, "Hey did Pharaoh return from delivering your brother's present yet?" Abbie looked up very quickly and said, "I sent something to my brother!" Dana said, "Yeah. You bought him a whole bunch of candy form the wizarding world for his birthday. You told me that he's been pestering you to send some to him."

Abbie looked over at Dana and said, "I owe you so much right now. I forgot that I sent him anything." Professor Flitwick then walked in and was standing on his normal pile of books to make him seem taller and said, "Levitation is one of a wizard's most useful skills. Wingardium Leviosa. You all have your feathers."

Everybody nodded except for Hermione Granger who lifted her feather in the air and professor Flitwick said, "Go ahead and try." Abbie grabbed her wand off her desk and doing the wrist movement's they had been practicing in class said, "Wingardium Leviosa."

Abbie's feather didn't even move and Dana laughed and Abbie said, "Shut it." She then tried a couple for times and on her 8th try it wen tinto the air and was above everybody's head and Professor. Flitwick said, "See here everyone. Ms. Carson's done it."

Abbie shyly smiled and heard Hermione Granger saying to Ron, "Stop. Stop. You're going to take someone's eye out and besides you're saying it. It's Levio sa not Leviosa." Ron then said, "You try it then if you're so clever then. Go on." Hermione grabbed and her wand and said, "Wingardium Leviosa."

Hermione's feather was lifted into the air and as Ron sulked there was an explosion and Abbie looked over and saw that Seamus Finnigan has somehow blow up his feather.

After class Abbie was walking with Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus, and Dean and Ron was in the middle of saying, "it's Levio sa not Leviosa. She's a nightmare no wonder she hasn't got any friends." Someone walked into Abbie sending her books flying to the ground. As Harry helped Abbie pick up her book they saw Hermione and Harry said, "I think she heard you."

At the Halloween feast Abbie was sitting with her close group of friends from the Hufflepuff house. As they started talking about the break hastily approaching she looked over at the Gryffindor table and saw that Hermione was nowhere to be seen. Turning to Dana she asked, "Have you seen Hermione?"

Dana looked up from her plate and said, "Yeah. She's been in the girl's bathroom crying all day. Something about an orange haired first year insulting her. You know anything about that Abbie?" Abbie nodded and replied, "My friend Ron. He said some mean things about Hermione after Charm's class and the last that I saw of her was her walking away from Charm's class. I tried to find her to make sure she was okay but I couldn't."

Parker opened her mouth to say something when Professor Quirrell ran in and said, "Troll…Troll in the dungeon. Thought you ought to." He then slumped to the floor and fainted and everybody started screaming. Abbie and Dana grabbed each other's hand and started to run towards the exit when Professor Dumbledore said, "QUIET! Everyone will please stay calm. Prefect's please escort your house to your dormitories and teacher's will follow me to the dungeon's."

Stephan Angelo the Hufflepuff prefect besides Heather said, "Hufflepuff's follow me." Abbie and Dana got in line and started following them." As they got close to the common room Harry pulled Abbie out of line and said, "Hermione doesn't know about the troll. Come on Abbie."

Abbie, Ron, and Harry made they're way through the school when a foul smell reached them and Abbie said, "I think we found the troll." Harry then said, "It's going into the girl's bathroom." The three of them then looked at each other and then ran into the girls' bathroom."

The troll had pinned Hermione under one of the sinks and Harry said, "Hermione move!" The three of them then started picking pieces off of the floor and throwing it at it. "Oy! Pea Brain." Ron chucked a piece of pipe at him and then Harry ran over and as it swung it's club grabbed on and was then on the troll's neck and stuck his wand up its nose either by accident or purpose Abbie didn't know.

Abbie ran over to Hermione and grabbed her hand and said, "Come on let's get you out of here." Hermione grabbed her hand and they ran over to Ron and Harry was being dangled in the air by his ankle. Abbie grabbed her wand at the same time Ron did and they both yelled, "Wingardium Leviosa!"

The Troll's club went flying out of its hand and smacked him on the head and he dropped Harry and Harry crawled away. AS soon as the troll was knocked out Hermione asked, "Is it dead?" Harry grabbed his wand out of the troll's nose and said, "No I don't think so just knocked out. Ugh troll boogies."

Harry whipped his wand on his robes and the teacher's came barging in and Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and Ron and said, "Explain yourself both of you." As they started explaining it to her Hermione said, "It's my fault Professor."

Professor McGonagall then turned to Abbie and Hermione and said, "Ms. Granger?" "I went looking for the troll. I read all about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry, Ron, and Abbie hadn't come and found me I'd probably be dead."

Abbie raised her eyebrows and looked at Hermione and then Harry and Ron and then they looked back to Professor McGonagall. She then said, "I expected better behavior out of you Ms. Granger. 10 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. As for you for three not many first year students can take on a full grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. 10 points will be added to Gryffindor and 5 to Hufflepuff for sheer dumb luck. You may go."

As the four of them walked down the hall Hermione said, "How do you stand them?" "I keep them on a short chain. Like my dog." Harry then said, "Funny very funny Abbie." Abbie shrugged and Ron said, "What are friends for." The four of them then looked at each other and Abbie then said, "I better get back to the Hufflepuff dorm's my friend Dana is probably losing her mind right now. "Bye guys. See you in the morning."

"Bye Abbie."

As Abbie walked into the Hufflepuff all she saw was black hair as Dana hugged her and said, "Oh my god Abbie. I was so worried about you. You have to tell me what happened." Parker then said, "Let Abbie catch her breath and have some food first Dana. Dana made you a dish Abbie. Nothing with milk products or nuts."

Abbie nodded and said, "Thanks guys." She then walked over to where the others in her small group of friends were and as they were eating told them what happened. Emily then said, "So what happened. Did you get detention or anything?" Abbie replied, "No detention or points taken away from Hufflepuff. But I did get 5 points for beating a mountain troll."

The other's laughed and said, "Wow. That's amazing Ab's. You must have so really good luck or something." Abbie shrugged and then said, "I usually have really bad luck. But here I have good luck. I mean I'm in the best house I could ask for and I have the best friends a girl could have. What more could you ask for?"

Kristen said, "What are you trying to make us cry?" Emily then grabbed one of the pillow's with a badger on it and throw it at Abbie who threw it back at Emily and they the other's joined in and they continued until the prefect's said, "That's enough you guys. First year's bed."

Abbie and the other's walked up to her dorm and as she was getting changed into her pajamas Emily said, "Hey Abbie. Pharaoh's back." Abbie walked over to the window and let Pharaoh in and he dropped a note on her pillow and then flew off again.

Abbie put her wand on her bedside table and then opened the letter and read:

Dear Abbie,

Thank you so much for the present. I can't wait to have some of the candy that you sent me but Mum say's I have to wait for tomorrow. (I might try and sneak some when she isn't looking). Everybody says hi and they can't wait for Winter Break so they can see you to. You should a letter to Gran and Gramps they seem to miss there only Granddaughter. I wish you were here for my birthday but you can't have everything you ask for. Your so luck to be away right now. Mum keeps going up to your bedroom and then walks down and looks like she might start crying. It's been weird without you home but I can wait till Christmas to see you sis. Hope you had a good Halloween. Love you Sis.

From,

Michael Shane Carson

P.S. Mum says to stop using are full name's on the letter we send

Abbie laughed and then walked over to her bed and closed the curtains and tried to remember the weirdest Halloween that she had. The weirdest one defiantly had to be when Aunt Lucy had got drunk and started peeing in the toaster oven. And they had to buy a new one because she refused to buy them one even though it had been her fault that it broke and smelled like pee. She thought to when she last saw Aunt Lucy because she was a funny person when she wasn't drunk.

Abbie then turned over on her side and tried to close her eyes but couldn't because she was so full of adrenaline from the events that had transpired. She eventually grabbed her book that she brought with her to read on the Hogwarts Express (But had to much fun with Harry and Ron to read). She opened to the first page and started to read until she fell asleep with the book in her hand.
