Chapter 5

The Troll

The same evening I was recruited to the Slytherin quidditch team, I had not been able to tell anyone until all our classes were finished for the day. It was during dinner that I was able to let everyone know. I proudly stated that I hadn't gotten in trouble with Professor Snape, but rather that I was to join the Slytherin quidditch team as the new chaser.

"I can't believe you made the team! No first years ever get on the team; you must be the youngest Quidditch play in a century." Malfoy said to me. Even though his voice made him seem happy for me, I could tell he was a little bit jealous.

"Thanks, do you want to help me train? I don't know anything about Quidditch." I said smiling.

"Yeah, we'll start tomorrow!" he said as his face seemed to light up with the idea of training me.

We ate our dinner, talking about the classes we had that day. As dinner started to come to an end, I realized that I probably should talk to my brother. I needed to make sure he wasn't super upset with me. I felt a ping of nervousness enter my body. I hope he'll understand I was just trying to have a bit of fun. I felt a small shudder run through my body as I continued to think of my brother.

"Everything alright Potter?" Malfoy asked when he noticed my shudder.

"I'm a little nervous about talking to my brother." I confessed.

"Well just tell him you were having fun, that's all it was anyway. Just some fun." Malfoy said reassuringly.

"Alright, I'm sure he'll understand." I lied. I knew my brother was going to be mad at me. Then he'll probably ask Dumbledore to have me transferred to the Gryffindor house or something so he could keep an eye on me. I would be so annoyed with him if he tried to pull a stunt like that.

When dessert was over, I finally got up to talk to my brother. Before I left Malfoy wished me good luck. I smiled, trying to reassure myself, but quickly stopped when I saw the glare my brother was giving me as I made my way to the Gryffindor table. "Hey Harry, I…" I started to say when I reached his side.

"I don't want to hear it." He said before I could finish.

"You don't underst…" I tried again.

"No."

"Come on Harry…"

"No"

"Give her a chance mate." I heard Ron say. I smiled at him showing my thanks, and then I turned back to my brother.

"Harry all I was doing was having fun. It was like playing… catch. It's not like we were going to actually keep the ball." I said before my brother could interrupt again.

"No, it wasn't Chloe. It was like you and that Malcolm kid…" he started to say.

"Malfoy," I corrected.

"Whatever, anyway, it was like you two were doing it to tease me, I just wanted to get Neville's remembrall back for him. And the way you started laughing at Neville when his broom went berserk was just so mean. Then I find out that you didn't want to talk to me. I heard what Malfoy said when you choose a broom between him and that other girl. Chloe, I don't know what's got into you, you're just different now." He complained to me. It was obvious that my brother was having a hard time being separated from me. After all, we did spend the first eleven years of our lives together, practically conjoined at our hips.

"Harry none of us meant anything by laughing at Longbottom, and I was just getting a little annoyed at how you treated me like a little baby, making me sit by you in all the classes we had together." I tried to explain. I was doing my best to not get angry with him.

"You are a little baby." Harry said.

"Oh my god Harry! If you're calling me a baby, then you're calling yourself a baby! You do happen to remember that we are twins, right? That means we are the same age." I said getting really mad.

"But you're my sister, and I don't like the people you are hanging out with. They seem like they enjoy doing mean things Chloe." He insisted.

"Harry, I think I can choose my friends for myself; besides I need friends that are in my house! I didn't realize that laughing at a situation or playing with a ball for a couple of minutes was such a bad thing. You can't control what I do. Don't get me wrong, I love you, but seriously I need some space."

"It's just that…"

"No Harry, all we were doing was having fun. I don't need to lose my brother over something stupid like this."

"Fine, I suppose I can try to forgive you." Harry sighed. He rubbed his forehead with frustration before looking up at me. "Just don't become someone I don't know."

"I think I'm finally going to be able to become who I was meant to be. We were stifled at our uncle's house, unable to grow. But here, we have a chance to be who we are meant to be. Harry, we should use this opportunity to learn about ourselves. All we've ever known was each other, and now I would like to discover who I am without you, and you should learn who you are without me."

"How am I supposed to do that? We've never been without each other."

"That's my point. You are always going to be my brother; you will always be in my heart. I just think it's also important to be our own person." Harry nodded at my words, still looking a bit upset. I gave him a reassuring hug before leaving for the Slytherin common room.

When I got back to the common room, I found Malfoy sitting on one of the couches. "Hey." I said sitting down next to him. I leaned back and rest my head against the back of the couch. There was a small fire in the fireplace warming the area.

"How did it go?" He asked.

"It was ok, he's talking to me now, and he said he'd try to forgive me for having some fun." I said rolling my eyes a little.

"Well at least he won't be such a pest in class now, will he?" Malfoy asked with a smirk.

"I'm sure he'll give me some space, but he is my brother after all he can't just not leave me alone." I answered with a sigh. "I tried to tell him that we needed to be our own person, and he seem reluctant to accept that."

"I see. I think you're right though. Everyone needs to be their own person." And with that Malfoy got up and went to bed. I was still sitting thinking about the conversation I had with my brother.

Harry POV

These last few weeks have been great, except for Chloe. She still insists that her group of friends aren't bad, even though they laugh and joke about the most inappropriate things. After our little argument I did what she asked; I gave her the space she wanted. I'm not really happy about it, but as long as she doesn't get mad at me, I guess I can live with it.

Halloween came shortly, and Chloe told me she was going to spend it with her 'other' friends. I knew I couldn't do anything to change her mind, so I just nodded my head. The whole day was uneventful. I hung out Ron, and Hermione kept showing up where we were. I wasn't completely sure why this kept happening. She seemed to be following us until lunch when she overheard what Ron said about her as we walked to the Great Hall.

"She's a nightmare honestly." He had said not knowing she was behind us.

"Come on Ron she isn't that bad." I said back.

"Well, I don't think she's going to have any friends at school." He retorted. Then Hermione walked faster, bumping into Ron as she passed us. She had heard everything we said. Guilt flooded my body as I watched her walk quickly away.

Sitting at the Gryffindor table I glanced at Chloe. She was sitting between Zabini, and Malfoy laughing at something they had said. I couldn't help but get a little bit jealous. She likes to spend all her time with them, and only on some weekends did she make plans to hang out with me. Now it's getting more awkward to be around her. At least she gives me some of her weekends, rather than not talking to me at all. I understood why she wanted to 'become her own person', but that didn't mean she had to leave me behind. At least, that's what her actions made me feel like.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. Ron was sitting next to me, and Neville was on the other side. They were having a conversation I wasn't really paying attention to. I grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice and started drinking it, hoping to drown out my thoughts.

"I heard that she's still in the bathroom crying." I heard Neville say to Ron.

"Who?" I asked seeing as I missed the beginning of the conversation.

"Hermione Granger." Neville answered. I looked at Ron and he looked guilty.

"Ron maybe we should apologize to her." I said.

"No, if we do that then she'll never leave us alone." He said quickly.

"I suppose you're right but that can't really be a bad thing." All of a sudden, the doors leading out the Great Hall opened with a bang.

"TROLL! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!" Professor Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, screamed as he ran into the hall. He sprinted up to the teachers table. "Thought you ought to know." He finished right before fainting.

Everyone in the hall started yelling and getting out of their seats. "QUIET!" Dumbledore yelled form the staff table. Everyone instantly stopped moving and turned to see what he had to say. Panic was still hanging in the air. "Prefects, I ask you to escort your house back to your common rooms. Staff I want you to meet me in the dungeons in five minutes." He said before turning and walking out of the room.

All the prefects called for the houses to line up. Ron and I quickly got in line, and our house was leaving the Great Hall when I remembered something, "Ron what about Hermione?" I asked.

"What about her?" he asked looking frightened.

"She doesn't know about the troll." I said pulling him from the line. We started running towards the girl's bathroom.

Chloe POV

When Dumbledore finished talking, I looked at Malfoy. By the look on his face, I knew he didn't do it. It seemed like something our group would do for fun, but he looked scared, so did Zabini. I guess trolls don't make good practical jokes, good to know.

We followed our prefects' instructions and lined up and headed out of the Great Hall to our common room. We were halfway out of the Great Hall when I saw Harry and Ron running down a hall, towards what looked like the girls bathroom. I made the quick decision to follow them, I wanted to make sure my brother didn't get himself into trouble.

"Potter, where are you going?' I heard Malfoy ask as I started to leave the line.

"I'm following my brother; you can come if you want, but hurry." I said still walking towards the girl's bathroom.

"Right," I heard him say as he followed me out the line. Soon we were running down the hall towards where Harry and Ron were going until we reached the bathroom. Breathing heavily, I bent over to catch my breath.

"You wait here, I'll be back soon." I said motioning for Malfoy to wait. He nodded and turned around keep watch. I walked into the girl's bathroom to find chaos.

Harry and Ron were shooting spells at a troll. I heard screaming and guessed someone was in here trapped in one of the stalls. It took me a half a second to decide I would need backup. I ran outside and dragged Malfoy in telling him what was happening.

"Chloe what are you doing here?" Harry asked as I joined in on casting spells at the troll.

"What does it look like? We're helping!" I yelled back as the troll smashed one of the sinks. I heard a girl screaming again. "Harry, who else is in here?"

"Hermione." He said. His faced seemed to turn into a look of guilt when he said her name as if it was his fault she was in here getting attacked by a troll. I was confused because I knew my brother would never set a troll on someone. At least, not on purpose.

"Hermione get out of here!" I yelled, and then I saw a bush of brown hair fly past me. The troll was starting to get confused, not knowing which of us to go after.

"Wingardium leviosa!" Malfoy yelled pointing at the club the troll was carrying. Then he moved it over the troll's head and released it. The club hit the troll with a big thunk. The troll fell face first on to the floor. Malfoy had knocked it out with it's own club. Oh, the irony.

"Nice going Malfoy!" I said looking at him. He smirked and looked at Harry.

"I was beginning to lose hope, and then I remember that spell." He said still watching Harry.

"Thanks." Harry said through gritted teeth. Just then Professor McGonagall ran into the room.

"What happened here?" she demanded looking at Harry.

"It was my fault." I heard someone say. I looked and saw that the girl we just saved was talking. "I've read about trolls, and I thought I could handle it. I was wrong; if Harry, Ron, and these two hadn't shown up I'd probably be dead." She continued. I looked at her stunned. Why in the world did she think that a first year could take on a troll by herself?

"Well ten points from Gryffindor and Slytherin for not following orders. And twenty points to each house for shear dumb luck." Professor McGonagall said. She turned to the other teachers that followed her into the bathroom. Just before discussing what they were going to do with the troll, she told all of us to leave for our dormitories.

I sighed, and then turned to Harry. "I'm going to go. You all get back to your dorm safely." I said walking out waving at the three Gryffindors still standing there. As I walked out, I heard Malfoy hurrying behind me. When we got out of the bathroom, I let him catch up to me so we could walk together back to the common room. The whole way back we discussed the adventure we just had.

When we reached the common room, we sat down on a couch near the fire. "I can't believe we just took on a mountain troll." He said smiling at me in disbelief.

"Me either!" I exclaimed. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes before I decided I should get to bed. Malfoy stood up with me, and for some reason I kissed him on the cheek. What in the world did I just do?

Ah young love. Anyway hope you guys liked it, and PLEASE review!
