I am the worst person ever.
You will understand how in a bit, once you've read the chapter.
I am still feeling guilty about what I wrote. Please forgive my terribleness.
I must have a bit of Voldemort living inside me too.
But I really think this chapter was good! It brings some well-needed excitement to the story! I know the last couple of chapters weren't the best, yet this one is a surpriser!
The next day was October 31st, the day of Halloween.
Nellie sat in Charms class and watched as the teacher, Professor Flitwick, taught them how to levitate things. He lifted a sheet of parchment into the air to show them how it was done. After demonstrating, he persuaded the students to try. He put them in partners, Nellie with the kid from before, Neville.
"A-am I doing it right?" Neville asked, and Nellie turned to see the quill shake before lying still again.
"Not really," Nellie admitted, "but it might help to keep your hand still. Try not to shake it when you use your wand."
"Okay," Nevile replied, and Nellie returned to her own wand. She was barely able to lift the quill centimeters from the ground, and that was the norm from the students around her. But, not far from Nellie, Hermione and her partner Ron were starting to argue, and Nellie watched.
"You're saying it wrong, " Hermione snapped, "It's Wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa, make the 'gar' nice and long."
"You do it, then, if you're so clever, " Ron snarled. Nellie smirked as Hermione took her own wand and pointed it at the quill. Everyone watched in admiration as the quill lifted four feet into the air.
"Well done! Every one, look! Miss Granger has done it!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed, looking at the quill.
At the end of class, Ron walked over to Harry in anger.
"She's a nightmare, honestly. It's no wonder no one can stand her." Ron muttered. Nellie stood enraged at this, and saw Hermione begin to cry. Nellie ran after her, and Hermione didn't stop until they had reached the girl's bathroom.
"I'm not the only one they're bugging I guess," Nelle said aloud. Hermione shot around, and noticing Nellie was there, ran and hugged her.
"Oh, Nellie! That Ron is just awful!" Hemione said through tears.
"I know, Hermione, he really is. I've suffered because of him too. You're not alone, Hermione, you can come to me if he bugs you."
"Thank you Nellie," Hermione whispered. Both girls heard the door open, and Nellie hid behind a sink.
"Hermione? Is everything okay?" Nellie recognized the voice as Parvati Patil, a fellow Gryffindor.
"Oh, um, yeah I'm fine, but if you don't mind, Parvati, I'd like to be alone," Hermione replied, trying to keep herself from crying again.
"Oh, okay." Nellie heard the sound of footsteps and a door shutting.
"You want to be alone? Should I leave, Hermione?"
"No, Nellie, I think you're just what the doctor ordered right now," Hermione replied with a smile. The two talked for what felt like hours.
"Hermione, it's getting late. I think we should go up. We've probably missed a couple of classes sitting down here, and dinner should be soon." Hermione shook her head.
"But, if the boys are in the class…."
"Okay, Hermione, we can stay down if you want." Hermione turned over at Nellie, and hugged her once more.
"Oh Nellie, what would I do without you?"
Suddenly, the two were interrupted by a roar. A giant creature thundered into the room, and, when seeing the girls, raised the giant club in his hand.
"Troll," Nellie whispered in shock while Hermione screamed.
The troll ran towards them, hitting Nellie and sending her flying into the bathroom stall, which was a good ten feet from where she had been standing.
"Nellie!" Hermione screamed. Nellie's sight began to go blurred, and although her consciousness remained, her senses went numb. She couldn't pull herself up, nor could she call for help, or talk for that matter. Though her hearing was faint, she could tell that some one had come and was defeating the troll. With a thud, she presumed the troll was out. And after some people talked, everyone left the bathroom, glad to be done with the troll.
Everyone exept Nellie.
Nellie was still there, unable to move, or bring any attention to herself.
And so she stayed, alone.
Now you know why I felt guilty? I feel so bad!
I don't really know what else I can say right now, so, I will again thank you all for your support and kindness towards my fanfic!
And well, it seems that no one responded to my question in the last review, so unless I don't have opinions by chapt ten I guess my editor and I will have to decide.
And well, the costumer is always right! Even if you aren't buying the fanfic, you are reading it! So tell me what you think and how I can improve this story!
I honestly tried writing that as best I could without review-begging. I really do want to hear your voices!
Myraah out.
