A/N
Hi guys! First off, I am very sorry for the unfortunately long delay. My writing system has changed, and haven't been home for more than four days since the 22nd of june! Also, I'm going to start dedicating chapter's to a reviewer.
Today's is dedicated to CLICK HERE FOR MORE STORIES, who gave a wonderfully inventive and charming review. Thanks dearest!
But, anyway I'm putting my authors note in the beginning this time because I want you all to met someone very special. Say hi, Rose!
Rose: *Does a cartwheel, and pirouettes in a circle, before knocking my computer into a magical pool of water* Sorry Em darlin'! I'm Rose Fairweather, though, Em's special OC!
Me: Rosie, that's quite enough. Anyway, Rose is going to be in all my fics from now on, along with a signature item. She appeared in my Dramione one-shot as well, and she puts her roots down in a place known as Storybrooke, Maine. Comment if you know where Rosie dear is from!
Rose: And with that, on with the chapter!
"I hate you so much Ronald Weasely!"
Hailey's voice came through gritted teeth as she attempted to climb the thrashing trolls back.
It was thrashing, not because of her, but because of Harmony.
Her blonde friend was fantastic. She had made the faucets explode, spraying water everywhere.
Hermione Granger sat in a corner, looking horrified.
The bathroom was chaos.
The ginger boy ahead screamed an apology at Hermione, before tearing out of the lavatory like all the hounds of hell were after him.
Reaching into her pocket, Hailey grasped the item she was looking for.
With a twist and a push, she had the troll blindly stumbling around the bathroom.
Hailey flipped off of the beast back, as it crashed to floor.
"What did you do to it?" Harmony's voice was filled with curiosity and wonder.
"Pepper spray. My neighbor's foster daughter, Rose Fairweather, gave it to me."
Hermione made an intelligible squeaking noise, which brought Hailey's attention to her.
"Now, Hermione Granger, swear on the river Styx that you shall never tell anyone about this, and you can go."
"I swear on the river Styx that I shall never tell anyone about this!"
The brunette's voice faint. Thunder boomed outside.
Hailey's voice came next, firm and commanding.
"Granger, leave. Harmony, come with me. We have a lot to talk about."
Hailey brought Harmony down a floor, to the second floor girls bathroom.
"Another bathroom? Really, Hailey, really?"
Harmony spoke first, as they entered the bathroom.
Hailey moved towards the sink, as Myrtle floated out of her stall.
"Hailey? What's going on? Who is this?"
Myrtle spoke, her ghostly voice filled with question.
Hailey turned on the tap, tossed in a drachma, and called Luke.
As the mist formed, she turned to the girl and the ghost.
"I'm only explaining this once. Harm, no interruptions. You're about to find out my secret. Myrtle, this is Harmony Sato, a Griffindor."
She turned again, and saw Luke's face, grinning at her.
"Hey! How did it go?"
His question was about Sanheim, about the anniversary of her parents death.
She pursed her lips.
"Well, I have officially dispatched my first troll, and got away with it undetected, so I'd say the night was a success."
Luke's smile dropped.
"Tell me everything."
She did of course, she always did. She had explained the entire night from start to finish, introduced Harmony, and had exchanged a few jokes with Luke. After the IM was over, Harmony stared.
"Well, that wasn't anything like the Hailey Potter I know! You talked more to him in ten minutes than you have in classes in two months!"
Hailey smiled.
"I've known Luke ever since I was six. We're best friends. But, how come you can do that crazy cool stuff with water?"
Harmony blushed.
"I'm part kappa. You know, the Asian water demon? So i can control water, and well, um, I've gotten kinda good at it."
"It's freaking incredible."
"Not nearly as incredible as you pepper spraying a troll!"
"I beg to differ."
"Then we shall agree to disagree."
"Agreed."
And the girls lapsed into giggles, while Myrtle shook her head.
When the pair had talked out their secrets entirely, the headed to their common rooms. hoping no on had noticed their absences.
Hailey snuck into the Slytherin first years girls dorm without anyone questioning her, but once inside, was nearly bowled over by an angry Daphne Greengrass.
"HAILY POTTER! Where have you been! I've been so worried! This is a troll, and I know you may disagree, but you aren't invincible Hailey! I don't want you to get hurt!"
Hailey was touched by her friend's concern.
"I never even saw it. Harmony realized that a girl was off in the lav, and begged me to go help find her."
This was a lie. Hailey felt bad, but she wanted to keep the nights events as secret as possible. She had no desire for the attention she would command if word got out she had taken down a troll, with pepper spray no less.
"Alright, fine. But, next time, please try and not get involved in some daring rescue?"
"Don't worry, Daph, I doubt this is a normal occurrence. Everyone did panic, after all."
Daphne, reassured, sighed. "I'm exhausted. See you in the morning then?"
"See you in the morning."
