Chapter 26: Troll attack
Great Hall
The mention of a troll here in Hogwarts has caused hysteria within the Great Hall, students scream in terror as they leap out of their seats and attempts to exit the room but too many were up and about to make it happen. Fortunately, Dumbledore pulls out his want and shoots out a blast of red light which explodes into a firework to get the student's attention.
"Everyone please, don't panic!" Dumbledore assured everyone. "Prefects, please take the students back into their dormitories in a calm and fashionable manner."
The Prefects nods at the headmaster and starts to gather the students until they are formed in four line, one for each house before the leave the Great Hall in the aforementioned manner.
"Now then, I need you all to come with me to the dungeons." Sai Dumbledore.
"What about Quirrell, Professor" said Snape as he looks down at the fainted DADA Professor.
"Poppy, would be a dear?" said Dumbledore to the matron.
"At once, Professor," said Pomfrey as she pulls out her wand and casts a spell which sprays water at Quirrell to snap him out of the faint.
"AH, no, get away!" Quirrell screamed when the water sprayed at him before he came too. "W-What?!"
"Glad to see you're with us, Quiverus" said Dumbledore, "now if you don't mind joining us, we have a Troll to catch."
"W-What?" said Quirrell frightfully.
Over hearing this, Luffy couldn't help but smile with excitement, which his crew notticed and groaned.
"You're not serious, Luffy," said Usopp, wincing from the sight of his captain's grin.
"Usopp, take the kids back to the Sunny," said Luffy, "Zoro and Sanji, you're coming with me."
"Aye, Aye, Captain" Usopp immediately and starts to gather the new generation from their seats. "You heard the captain, back to the ship."
"Aw," most of the young generation groaned in protest by this for they wanted to go and see the Troll that Quirrell screamed about. Usopp sighed in relief that he wasn't chosen to assist Luffy in this. Sure, he braved through the like of Giants in Elbaf and took down the Navy and Blackbeard's crew, but he's still a coward at heart for a Troll is another matter.
"Why am I not surprised?" Nami sighed and shook her head at Usopp before turning to Luffy. "You want to fight it, don't you?"
Luffy turns to Nami, his grin never left his lips.
"Need I tell you, Nami?" said Luffy
Nami sighs in defeat, at least she's not coming with him for this."
"Alright, but try not to cause any damage." Said Nami "We know how you are in fights."
"I know, I'll be careful." Said Luffy as he gives Nami a kiss on the forehead and then on the lips. "I'll be back."
Nami nodded before Hancock pulled Luffy away so that she can kiss Luffy too, Nami rolled her eyes at Hancock's usual jealousy and walks off to join Usopp.
"You sure don't need us too, Captain?" asked Jimbei as he gestured himself and the rest of the crew.
"no, should the Troll escape, I need you all to safeguard the Sunny if it approaches." Said Luffy. "Besides, Zoro and Sanji are enough."
"Glad you think so," said Zoro, smiling with appreciation for te compliment.
"It'll be quite the warm-up" said Sanji as he lights up his cigarette and takes a short drag and exhales before turning to the female members of the crew. "I assure you, my dears, we'll stop that Troll before it does escape."
Pudding blushes at her husband and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
"You be careful, you hear?" said Pudding
"Of course, my dear ," Sanji said with the usual hearts in his eyes just after earning a kiss from his wife. He spinns around like a love-struck spinning top and whirls around like a love drunk fool.
Zoro rolled his eyes as he and Luffy take their leave to help the Professors.
Later, down in the dungeons
Dumbledore and the professors descend to the castle dungeons where the alleged Troll was sighted. Joining them were Luffy, Sanji and Zoro, who came to assist the witches and wizards on their Troll hunt.
"I do appreciate the assistance, Captain Monkey D." said Dumbledore as he holds his Lumos active wand so he can navigate his way through the dark dungeon corridors. "But why do I have a feeling that you have an ulterior motive in your generous help?"
"Oh...just wanted to keep the kids safe, like any father should," Luffy said while shifting his eyes to the side and pouts his lips in a whistling manner.
Sanji and Zoro groaned and palmed at their Captain for he is terrible at lying, or even putting up a poker face while he lies. Fortunately, Dumbledore is oblivious to Luffy's habit and took his word for it.
"Well that is sensible" said Dumbledore with a smile as he continues to search for the intruding troll.
"Mind if I'm asking," said Sanji "Trolls live high up in the mountains, so how did one wound up here in the Castle."
"Well, centuries ago, trolls were once used as guards to protect the castle from Muggles, especially witch-hunters during the 15th and the 17th century." Said Dumbledore. "But back in the mid 1700s, a bill was formed to illegalize the harbouring of Trolls when one night, a Troll got loose and went on a rampage in Hogmeade." Dumble explains to the Cook the some lore of Hogwarts that involve trolls. "Headmaster...the name escapes me... anyway he was hesitant of the bill and had to set the Trolls back into the mountains, which wasn't easy I tell you, so he ordered a tunnel to be constructed here in the dungeons which leads to the caverns beneath the mountains behind the Castle, it's not practical but it's the best they could do. We sealed the tunnel up so that no the Troll could break in, apparently one did. Ah, here we are."
Dumbledore, the professors and three of the Straw Hats reached a wall with a massive hole on it, inside the hole is a tunnel that goes deep and afar.
"Looks like the tunnel reopened, Albus," said McGonagall, shining her lumos-cast wand at the tunnel so see if any more trolls are nearby. But what she noticed is that the bricks from the wall were in the tunnel rather than spread out in the dungeons. She noticed scorch marks on the remnants of the wall. "no...it's been blasted open."
"So that's how the Troll got in," said Dumbledore, stroking his beard. "Search the area, signal if you spot it."
"Right," said the Professors as they scatter.
"Captain, would you and your crewmates stay here and guard the tunnel, if one troll got in we wouldn't want more coming in."
"I'll beat them up if they try," said Luffy cracking his knuckles when suddenly a loud roar echoes from in the tunnel. Luffy turns to see three Trolls charging in and heading for the end of the tunnel. "Speak of the devil, here they come."
"One each, huh?" said Zoro as he walks in the tunnel and draws his sword. "That's fine with me."
Sanji joins Zoro, not wanting to be overshadowed by the green haired swordsman.
"We'll handle them, you go on and find that troll," said Luffy as he jumps in and joins Zoro and Sanji
Zoro slices off the wooden clubs which the Trolls wield as weapons, Sanji leaps high into a flying kick which struck the first Troll nearby. Zoro saw that and scoffed while he focused on his own Troll. Luffy ran in and yelled out a battle cry.
"GUM-GUM!" Luffy shouts out while throwing a swift furry of punches which were so fast that the after images of his fists hitting the the troll seems so many. "GATLING!"
Luffy knocked out his own troll, along with Sanji and Zoro. But the more trolls start ro charge in after hearing the battle and make their way to the end of the tunnel and towards the three pirates.
"More are coming," said Luffy with a grin. "You ready?"
"Aye" said Zoro and Sanji as they charge at the charging trolls to commence round 2.
Meanwhile with Harry
"Come one everyone, don't dawdle," said Percy as he takes the Gryffindors out from the Great Hall and taking them back into the Common Room where it'd be safe from them while the Professors and the Straw Hats deal with the loose Troll down in the Dungeons.
"How did a Troll get into the castle?" said Harry, "Aren't suppose to live i mountains?"
"Well it could've got in on it's own," said Ron "They're thick, Trolls are. I'm sure it's just a prank."
Harry realized something and stop himself and Ron, Ron turns to Harry with a puzzled look.
"What?" said Ron
"Hermione! She doesn't know!" said Harry in a panic. He leaves the line and runs off to where the unexpected Witch is currently at: the girl's toilets. Ron joins Harry and they all run though many corridors and turning corners so they could reach Hermione before to warn her.
But just before hey could reach the toilets, they stopped when a large shadow was sighted on the wall. Harry and Ron hid between the alcove and watches to see the Troll move pass by, dragging it's club on the floor.
"I think the Troll just left the Dungeons," said Ron, nervously as he watches the troll pass by, hoping it doesn't notice him and Harry.
"It's heading for the Girl's toilets." Harry said. "We gotta save her."
"We?" said Ron before Harry left the alcove and heads for the Troll.
Girl's toilets
It was getting late and Hermione decided to return to the common room or else she get even more trouble than she had after skipping classes after the rude and hurtful words Ron said about her. She had someone come by to see if she was alright, Belle, Sora, Banchina, even Nami came to give her some comfort, but she dismissed them for she wanted to be alone, she even dismissed Ron who came to apologise, but he was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.
She left one of the cubicles, wiping the tears with her robe sleeves and begins to leave the toilets. But before she can, she noticed a pair of large two toed feet connected to thick stony grey lumpy legs with a brown loincloth in between. She looks up to see dwarfing her, a mountain Troll who noticed her and grunted at her out of curiosity, which later and slowly turns to hostility. Hermione paled, she read about trolls during her "light-reading" in the library, especially about how Barnaby the Barmy attempted to teach some trolls ballet, only for him to be clubbed and beaten to death before any of the trolls learned how to pivot on one leg.
She slowly backs away to retreat to the cubicle to hide, but the Troll noticed this and starts to approach her with it's club raised to strike. Seeing this, Hermione ran in the cubicle before the troll could strike, it swings it's club at the cubicles, turning them into piles of broken wood. Hermione screams as she duck and curls for cover, crawling away while the Troll keeps on swinging it's club at the debris as it tries to get at the poor girl.
Not long after, Harry and Ron bursts in to seethe chaos, the Troll didn't notice the boys as it's attention is on Hermione.
"Hermione!" Harry shouted to her to know that he and Ron are here.
"Help!" screamed Hermione, hiding for her life as the troll continues to attack.
"Ron, get Hermione out of there," said Harry as he pulls out his wand. "I'll distract the Troll."
"Are you mad?!" exclaimed Ron with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Do it!" said Harry impatiently as he starts waving his wand and starts shooting spells at the Troll. "Incendio!"
A quick fire spell caused the Troll to stop its pursuit and turns to Harry and growled at him.
"When did you learn that?" said Ron
"I studied, now hurry up and get Hermione out of here!"
"R-Right," said Ron as he ran towards Hermione and pulls her out of the debris. "Come on.
The Troll roared and tried to swing it's club at Harry, but Harry quickly casts another spell to repel it.
"Flipendo!"
Harry used the knockback jinx to knock the Club back before it could hit him, and instead hitting Troll in the face. This caused the Troll to stagger from the impact which gave Harry some time to leave
"Come on!" said Harry as he then runs off, Ron and Hermione does the same.
When the Troll came too, it shook it's face and noticed the three children make a runner. It roared and starts chasing after them, bursting through the doorframe without bothering to duck under. It starts swinging it's club about, hitting the walls, smashing windows, all to try and hit the fleeing children. Harry looks back to see that the Troll is getting closer and is about to swing down again at him and his friends, he pulls out his wand and casts Flipendo again to knock the club back and hit the troll's face again, staggering it once more so that they can gain some distance.
"If we hurry, we can lose it at the Grand Staircase!" said Harry
"Thank you Harry," said Hermione while she runs for her life. "I'm sorry about this!"
"Don't worry about it," said Harry, "you didn't know about the Troll, that's why we came. To warn you."
"Still, it got you in trouble." Said Hermione "All because of me."
"Damn right it's your fault," exclaimed Ron before earning a smack on the head by Harry.
"Not right now!" said Harry before suddenly, the troll suddenly crashes through the wall, catching everyone by surprise, especially when the beast grabbed Harry by the legs, hanging him upside down and forced his uncle's hat to fall off his head. It pulls Harry close to it's ugly face and starts roaring angrily at the pirate Prince.
"Lumos!" Harry casts another spell at the Troll, flashing white light at it, blinding it to the pain that it started to drop it's club to cover it's blind eyes in pain. "Ron do something!"
"Like what?" said Ron
"Anything, and hurry."
"Ron, the club!" said Hermione as she pulls out her wand. "Repeat after me, whish and flick."
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
Ron and Hermione casts their levitation spell at the Troll's club, raising it up in the ceiling and positioned it over the blinded beast. Then, just when it's in the right position, they stopped the spell and left the club to drop and hit the Troll on the head. The impact was hard compare to the time it hit it's face, for the top of the head is the troll's weak point.
The troll dropped Harry, which he's stumbled and rolled back to his feet. He picked up his hat and puts back on while backing off before the Troll could collapse on to the ground with a loud thud.
Hermione and Ron looked at the troll and then at each other, their hearts were racing with adrenaline after casting that spell on the Troll's club, they laughed during that rush, but thy are relieved to be alive.
"Are you alright, Hermione?" said Harry, laughing too as he too felt the rush circulating in his body.
"Y-Yeah," said Hermione
"Hermione...I'm sorry, for what I said," said Ron rubbing the back of his head. "I was stupid to take my frustration out on you, and I had no excuse for it."
"...Did Belle threaten you to apologise?" said Hermione with a raised brow.
"Yeah, but I am genuinely sorry," said Ron. "You're a Gryffindor and I should treat you as one."
"I'm still upset... but I'll take your sorry under consideration." Said Hermione dusting her robes.
Ron was about to say something but Harry nudged him in the arm.
"It's better than nothing, Ron," said Harry, "believe me, I had a similar experience. It took me a month for Belle to fully forgive me, and I regretted it ever since."
"What did you do?" said Ron
"I was little, had an existential crisis when I learned that I was adopted." Harry frowned sadly from that. "I was upset, said so much stupid things to my mum and dad, Belled tried to console me but I yelled at her, said that she wasn't my real sister. I vanished from the crew for a week, hiding in some island until I got homesick and returned. I apologised to everyone, but Belle was hurt the most and ignored me for a long time. It was horrible."
"Now you see how I feel, Ron" said Hermione. "You need to be careful how you say and watch your temper."
"yeah..." Ron said in a disheartened tone.
"So what now?" said Hermione as she looks at the knocked out troll.
"We best return to the common room," said Harry "We shouldn't be out and about anyway."
"Aye." Said Ron
But before they could leave, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell suddenly arrived when they followed the destruction that the troll caused and saw the three students out and about. McGonagall was shocked when she saw them, flabbergasted that she struggled to muster up the words, especially when they saw the knocked out troll beside them.
"Oh my word...I...ah...explain yourselves!" said McGonagall turning to Harry and Ron for they are known for causing trouble.
Harry and Ron were about to explain when suddenly Hermione spoke first.
"It was my fault, Professor," said Hermione
Ms. Granger?" said McGonagall
"I read about Trolls and thought I could handle it," Hermione lied, lied to defend Harry and Ron. "But I was wrong, if Harry and Ron hadn't come like they did, I probably be dead."
Harry and Ron were shocked when Hermione covered for them, even to lie to McGonagall so she can take the fall.
"I'd say I am very disappointed in you Ms. Granger" said McGonagall, while she scolds Hermione, Harry noticed Snape has a bloodstained tear on his trousers leg, with a bite mark which you find from a dog attack. Snape noticed Harry noticing his bleeding leg and quickly covered it up with his robs and leers at Harry to make him look away. "Never in my life I expect you to do something so foolish and dangerous. 10 points with me taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgement."
She turns to Harry and Ron next, "As for you two gentlemen, I hope you understand the situation you're both in. It's not every that a student ends up facing a Mountain Troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points...will be rewarded to each of you, for sheer dumb luck. Now go to your dormitories, now."
"Professor, I have a thing with the crew tonight," said Harry, "Professor Dumbledore has given me permission to cut curfew for tonight to be with my family."
"Oh right, he did say that," said McGonagall as she pull out her wand and conjures up a piece of paper. "Take this, show it to Filch if you ever come across him. He'll argue but he'll not stop you."
Harry took the sheet, which happened to be a signed pass with both Dumbledore and McGonagall's signature.
"As for Weasley and Granger, off to bed now." Said McGonagall.
Yes Professor" said Ron and Hermione as they leave, they give Harry a side glance to gesture their goodnights before they are gone. "We'll see you later, Harry."
"Aye" said Harry before he takes his leave also so he can leave for the Sunny, granted that he could get pass the cantankerous caretaker Filch.
"Right then, let's get...this back to the dungeons" said McGonagall as she pulled out her wand, the same goes for Snape and Quirrell.
The two professors nodded as they pull their wands out, but while they do, Snape gives Quirrel a narrow side glance. And Quirrel does the same, albeit briefly before they cast their spell on the unconscious troll, helping McGonagall t move it.
Thousand Sunny
The dispute with the Troll has been settled, Luffy, Sanji and Zoro kept any more from reaching he castle and dragged their unconscious bodies deep into the mountainous caverns before causing a cave in at the tunnels connecting them, making sure that the Trolls never come to the Castle again. Dumbledore repaired the wall with Reparo, reversing the damage caused by it and ensuring that the passage is completely covered.
Dumbledore thanked Luffy for the assistant and Luffy had his fun fighting the Trolls, they went their separate way with the headmaster heading for bed while the Captain and his two crewmate return to the Sunny, for a very special night they had planned.
On board the Sunny, the main deck is adorned with many candles, marigold flowers and painted skulls and framed photos besides them. Halloween may be night where the dead walk among the living, but it's the day after is where they are celebrated. Dias de la muerte, or day of the day is about to come on the stroke of midnight. Everyone is gathered around a fire pit, they talk idly by as they wait. Harry came aboard along with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, each were greeted by the rest of the crew.
"Finally, you came on time" said Nami as she rushed to her son and husband. She hugged Harry and kissed his scarred forehead. "With the Troll sighted in the caste, I thought you wouldn't come."
"Are you kidding?" said Harry with a smile. "I wouldn't miss this for the world."
"Y-Yeah..." Luffy isn't thrilled, hesitant to take part of this event as he placed his hand on the burn mark on his chest, Nami held Luffy's hand kissed it to comfort him.
"It's going to be alright," said Nami with a assuring smile. "After a few years of doing this, we're all on edge."
"...aye, lets do it" said Luffy, smiling at Nami
They waited until the stoke of midnight, and just as the bell tolls the final hour, Brook pulls out his violin. He plays a melancholic but beautiful melody, which causes the candles and the fire in the fire pit to turn green. You'd say it's unnervingly eerie, but to the Straw Hats, it's bittersweet for suddenly they are surrounded by a haunting of ghosts.
And not just any ghosts, ghosts of the people of everyone's loved ones.
Bellemere, Nami's adoptive mother who gave herself up to save her and Nojiko from being killed by Arlong just because she hadn't got enough to pay tribute for the both of them. Her sacrifice was one of the most scarring moments of Nami as she blamed herself for it, even when she joined Arlong's crew in the hopes of free her village from the pirate's oppressive rule buying it off.
Shimotsuki Kuina, Zoro's friend and rival, she was the sole reason for the sword's pursuit of becoming the world's greatest Swordsman. She had the same goal, but a cruel fate has befallen the girl when she had a terrible accident that cost her life.
VinSmoke Sora, Sanji's mother. The only member of Sanji's family he gives a damn about for she's the reason why Sanji is as he is today, but it caused the woman to become gravely ill and later died. Sanji still has love in his heart for his mother and missed him dearly, seeing her again on this night is bittersweet an couldn't help but drop down crying while Sora embraces him, which only felt cold to the cook but allows it to happen.
Banchina, Usopp's mother, after Yassop left with Shanks to sea, it was only her and Usopp until she has fallen ill and died while Usopp was only young. The source of Usopp's constant lying was so that he can comfort his ill mother, much like when he told tall tales to Kaya to make her feel better.
Dr Hiriluk, a former pirate turned quack who was a father figure of Chopper, took him in, tended his wounds after the villagers assulted the poor reindeer, mistaking him for a monster. Hiriluk was the very few who saw Chopper as a kind soul and not a monster, he died when Chopper unintentionally feed him a poinsionous mushroom, who throught it could cure the quack's terminal illness. But Hiriluk took his own life so that the poisonous mushroom doesn't kill him, and let Chopper think he was responsible for his death.
Nico Ovilia, Robin's mother and granddaughter of Tom, a beautiful and equally beautiful archaeologist who's been on the run from the law for researching the void Century like her daughter. She died with the other scholars in Ohara when the Marines bombarded the island with a Buster Call, a protocol which scarred Robin for 20 years before joining th Straw Hats.
Tom, the old cowfish fishman and shipwright in Water Seven who took Franky in as an apprentice. He was tried my the government for his collaboration with the Pirate King Roger by building him the ship Oro Jackson. Tom made a deal with the Government, buy building a Sea Train in exchange for a pardon for his crime. He built the train, which earned him that pardon, but then the CP9 agent Spandam framed him for the attack on Water Seven, all because he refused to relinquish the plans of the Pluton, a devastating ship which, according to legend, has the power to destroy the world. Tom and his prentices were guilty for the attack, but used the pardon for that recent crime to spare Iceberg and Franky, leaving him guilty for assisting Gol D. Roger with the Oro Jackson's construction. Tom was sent to Enies Lobby and shortly executed after.
The crew of the Rumbar Pirate, Brooks old crew who he once sailed with, perished from an attack where they were poisoned but died singing merrily with their dying breath, leaving Brook, thanks to the Yomi-Yomi Fruit, being the only member of that crew to survive. He buried the crew in Thriller Bark for it was once an island from the West Blue, the crew's home sea.
Fisher Tiger, captain of the Sun Pirates and Jimbei's old captain and blood brother. Tiger was once a slave of Marijois, but escaped and later attacked the capital to liberate the other slaves no matter their race was. Tiger was ambushed by the Marines while taking a slave girl home, he survived he ambush but it left him gravely wounded to the point he lost too much blood. A blood transfusion was required to save him, but Fisher had a rare blood type which none of his crewmates have. There was such type aboard the marine ship they commandeered but Tiger refused the transfusion with human blood, he his heart is full of hate for them, for their cruelty was so dire he couldn't forgive them. He died of blood-loss which was devastating to Jimbei, but unlike Tiger, Jimbei bares no hatred to the humans for he made good friends of one, with Luffy for whom shared blood with to save his life after the battle against Hody Jones in Fishman Island.
Lastly, Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's brother, Luffy knew Ace for 10 years after Garp dropped Luffy off to the mountains to live with the bandit Dadan. Their relationship at first was...complicated but they eventually ended up as brothers, Ace died in Luffy's arms during the battle of Marineford. Ace threw himself to save Luffy from Akainu's attack on him, the death broke Luffy to the point that his mind shattered from the shock. Luffy is still hesitant to see Ace again, still blaming himself for failing to rescue Ace. But in truth he did save Ace, and Ace save Luffy so he could resume his quest to become the Pirate King.
The Straw Hats welcome their deceased loved ones, Brook plays his instruments with his former crewmates, starting up the festivities. Nami and Belle talks to Bellemere, Zoro silently kneels with Kuina, Sanji still sobs and being comforted by Sora while Pudding and young Sora watches with sad smiles. Robin and Olvia laugh and talk, sharing in their intellectual conversation, especially when the ghost asked how they came to come to this place.
Franky is trying his best to put up a brave face when he's around his old master Tom, while his son Tom shook his head gave his Cyborg dad a pat on the lower back. Poor Chopper is sobbing his eyes out while Hiriluk tries to comfort the poor reindeer with a pat on the head, but the ghost's hand just phased through which freaked Chopper out.
Banchina chuckles when she listens to Usopp's debatable takes, no matter if they're true or not, she finds them amusing to hear.
Jimbei and Tiger are enjoying the evening view of the Black Lake, reminising the good old days back when the helmsman as part of the Sun Pirates. Tiger, looks back to glance at Luffy, smiling to know that Jimbei has some love in his heart for humans, while he didn't.
Speaking of Luffy, he and Ace are once again together, but the current King of the Pirate is hesitant to even speak for he still blames himself for his brother's death. If Ace was alive he'd give Luffy a smack on the head for saying something stupid, but instead he sighed and shake his head. He would console his little brother that he doesn't blame him at all, and that he did what any brother would do: and that's to protect his brother. Still, Luffy still mopes and turns to Ace with a sad look.
Harry smiles to see this, but later frowns for he calls not having any beloved ones coming from the dead to visit him. Be did ponder on what happened to his parents, way before Hagrid telling about it. Surely, with him back in his own world, he'd be seeing his real mum and dad, right?
Wishful thinking, he sometimes why he bother coming tonight, and a part of him reminds him that he's already family, the Straw Hats who took him i when he appeared aboard the Sunny on her maiden voyage, in a stormy night, just out on the middle of the deck.
"You don't seem to be having fun, Harry."
"yeah, well, everyone has everyone here," said Harry not turning his head to see who was speaking to for he continues to watch the crew converse with their deceased loved ones. "But being here is enough."
"Sorry so say that, but you're an idiot if you're not enjoying yourself."
"Yeah, well for give me, whoever you...are."
Harry turns to confront the person in question, or rather the ghost in question. There stands the apparition of an old man in his late 50s, greying black hair, a goatee and wears the similar glasses such as Harry's.
Harry rummages though his pocket and pulls out the pentagonal wizard card and looks it at and back at the ghost. He couldn't believe it, standing before him is Fleamont Potter, his grandfather.
"G-Grandad?" said Harry
Fleamont smiles at Harry and chuckles.
"Hello Harry," said Fleamont "It's nice to see you again after 10 years."
