A Show with Two Names
Classes are in a long with a Troll
It took a month to get use to Hogwarts well some what I still think that the moving stairs are a bit too much. It took that long to get everyone together for the study group I had talked about on the first night. We had been meeting in the library at least till we were asked to leave. Madame Prince had told us we were too loud and had asked us to leave. "This is your fault if you had only done" I cut her off before she could say more "Shut up Granger, getting asked to leave is not my fault or the fault of any one else in the group. This is the second time we have met, I had a feeling we might be asked to leave and you would have known that if you had shown up on time. We have more people than the last time. We had it at a level that was okay with Madame Prince till you showed up and tried to tell everyone what to do. The next time you join a study group try not to shove what you have read at others. Your book smart, but not that smart if so you would know that people do not like being told they are wrong. Just because it is not your way does not make it incorrect. Also if I want to write in my book I will want me to tell you why. It happens to be my book, not the schools or yours so you do not have the right to tell not to. So till you learn not to boss others around do not come back." I told her she huffed before walking off. I was not too surprised when I was called into speak with my head of house that night after dinner.
"Miss Maxwell-Yuy, I will get to the point I was told by Madame Prince she had to ask your study group to leave the library she also told me what was said in the hallway." my head of house said
I knew if I denied what he already knew I would be in more trouble than I was in. "Yes sir." I said
"I have asked the castle elves to clean a room near the library for the group. While you spoke to Miss Granger somewhat harshly, she would have been told sooner or later that other does not her action. You told her in the nicest way possible, she needs to learn how to treat others. I will not tell you to apologize to her but ask that you do, as she needs to do to the group." He said before waving me out of the room. I did not waste my time returning to the common room.
"Helen did you get in trouble?" Padma asked
"No, he wanted to talk about what happen with the study group and what happened in the hallway. She also asked me to apologize to Granger. I think he is right about that. I was harsh when I spoke to her, he also got a room for the group to use so we no longer need to meet in the library and bother others and Madame Prince. Padma pinned a note off to her sister who would tell her housemates in the study group I would tell Dudley and Blasé in the morning. I wrote a quick note to Granger to speaking harshly to her and sent it along with note to Parvarti.
Over the next couple of days Granger glared huffed at me when she could. Seamus told me she wanted more than a note of apology. I had told him she could hold her breath till she was blue. I did not need to apologize to her at all; I had only told her the truth. She came to the next meeting in the new room, but no one talked to her or let her help them and if she had asked for help no one would have helped not that she would have asked for that help. She let the room in a mood, all the while talking about how rude everyone was. Before we left we voted on placing a password on the door, poor Neville was so nervous he would mix up this password with the one for is house. Till I offered to use Trevor as the password. It was a week later and I had just left Transfiguration and meet up with Seamus and Neville as we went to lunch. "I feel sorry for Granger" Neville said
"Why?" I asked after how she had been treating anyone in the study group like lepers. They told me what happen in charms and out in the hallway. I had known it was just a matter of time before this would happen. "I'll be back, tell Padma to save me a sandwich if I do not get back in time." I said handing my bag over to Neville. Ravenclaw had history next and the teacher never notice when someone brought food in the room or left early. The elves would bring students that asked something to eat if they wished, I had found it odd that they were following the students around, but they seemed to be happy about the work. It did not take me that long to reach the bathroom she had to be in. Susan and Hannah were trying to get her to go out and talk about it. "Granger come out. I will not talk to a door." I said
"Come to gloat about how right you are and I am just some know-it-all." she snapped from inside the toilet stall. I kicked the door making her make this odd sound.
"I told you I was not going to talk to a door. So come out or I will come in and that means the door getting broke I kicked it once more so she would get my point. She came out glaring at me.
"What do you want?" she almost hissed out before washing her face. Susan and Hannah both gave me looks asking if I had this. I nodded to the door in answer they left while saying they would tell housemates to save use some food. "So what do you want?" she asked once more.
"Look I will be the first one to say we do not get along. But I tell you should not have been spoken to like Weasley did. While from what I heard you were pushy but just wanted to help. I told you need to learn how to help not just tell them that they where wrong. I bet before coming here you did not have that many friends and thought you would fit in just right if you knew everything you could right?" She nodded and I sighed "We are more alike then one would think. It is going to be easier if I showed you some of my pictures." I said walking to the door, "Come on lets see if you can come to my dorm room." I said walking out the door. We made it down to the great hall "Do you want to wait here? I can talk to the Professors." I said she nodded and stopped just out at sight of the doors. I picked up my bag from Neville on the way to ask if it was okay to take Granger in the dorm. "Thanks for holding on to this." I told him.
"It was easy it never even tried to escape." He joked making those that got the joke laugh. I told Padma not to save me food as I had told Lavender the same for Granger.
"Professor" I said as I reached the head table earning the making them all look over at me.
"Um, Granger needs someone to talk to about something that happened after charms. I wanted to find out if it was okay if we went to the dorms and talked?" I asked
"I do not see a problem with that; does this have something to do with what happened some weeks ago?" I nodded that it did "Than you might need more time, if you are willing to do the extra work I will sign a note saying it is fine to miss your next class." He told me.
"That might be a good ideal sir." I said be pinned off a note and handed it to me.
"Give this note to Miss Granger, and tell her that I will be talking to Mr. Weasley and her later to find out both sides of the story." Granger's head of house said handing me a note for her too. I blushed at the fact I did not think to inform her head of house
"Thank you." I said taking both notes, I quickly made my way out of the room. When I reached where I had left Granger stand I passed her not off. "It's from your head of house." I said and walked off; she followed as she read the note. "It mostly says the same as mine. They gave use permission to miss our last class today and the make up assignments. I can take you into the dorms as we do not have a password system they said to have one of them kitchen elves brought us something to eat." I told her coming to a stop outside the door that leads to our common room. I raised the knocker to knock once and smiled she granger jumped as it spoke "A man has nine children half of them are boys. How is this possible?" It asked "There all boys" I told it the door swung inward and I pull granger in breaking her from the small shock. "We have to answer questions and riddles to get in. I different on each time, the number of knocks you give equal your year. I have heard some of the one given to seventh years and they are hard." I told her as I made my way to my dorm room. I tossed my bag on Padma bed and open my trunk to get what I need from within.
"Have a seat on my bed toss your bag any place. Do you want anything in per tickler to eat any food allergies?" I asked she gave me a negative to both I asked for some sandwich and ice water to drink. I did not like the so called juice that was served; the food and drinks appeared on a lap table for us to eat off of. I opened the photo album to a random page before turning it so Granger could see the pictures. "Granger this is a picture of my parents and me on our last family trip." I told her, she looked at the picture then back to me.
"The children in your nationhood picked on you knowing who you parents were." she said, I nodded that she was correct in making that statement. "Your parents are the Gundam Pilots and you most likely know the others and the children were stupid enough to pick on you." She said I turned the page to show more pictures from the same trip. It was one we had a waitress take. It was a group shot of Shin, Mariemaia and I helping the triplets blow out the candle on their cakes. There was also picture of Lady Une after Ti-Lee had tossed a good handful of cake in her face.
"I think them all family; they took me in after I was abandoned. Heero my father, Duo my dad adopted me. Quatre and Lady Une both helped, I treat the other pilots like they are my Uncles. Sally Po Wufei's wife like an aunt. Before I was with them I did not have a good life. There were a lot of rules I was told to follow and if I did not I was punished. I will leave it at that, after I was with them I was so worried that I would be sent away if I did not do every thing just perfect. Father said I had been programmed into thinking that way. He helped my the most to get past a lot of my problems Dad helped me learn to be a kid. It took them almost a year to make believe that no matter what happened I would be loved. I flipped closer to the front of the book it showed a picture of Seamus going out for his green belt. I meet Seamus the first time I went to the park, I got pushed in the mud by some children who parents did not take to kindly to the fact two men where raising a little girl. Before I was to start school I had to be tested to see what my level of learning was. I was told to do my best and not to worry, no matter what my score turned out to be I would be welcomed home. I think I missed my two or three questions on the test. I shocked the teacher with that score let me tell you. They called us in to a meeting and thought it would be best if I was home schooled. I think they were planning to do that way. At that time I still had problems being a kid plus they where worried someone would hurt me to get to them and other children getting in the crossfire." I told her I closed the album and picked up the sandwich taking a bite I smile peanut butter and honey my favorite. "Can I get some milk?" I asked it popped on to the tray shortly after I asked. "Granger, those children stopped picking on me sometime ago when they found out I was like them. I was a child going to a park to play and make friends. One day some older boys who almost killed a little kid in the play park." She gasped when I said that I did not let her ask how. "He was special you know what I knew right. I think he had some short of bone decease. He always had a cast of some short on his body and whore a helmet at all time. His older sister always took care of him when they where in the park. No one and I mean no one would pick on him. He was the type of kid they you could spit in his face and he would offer you his last cookie the next day. One day some old boys thought it would be fun to take his helmet from him and push him around. He ended up being in the hospital for six months, when those boys where sent off they had a broke bone each. By the time Seamus and I had been aloud to return to the play park the other children had learned what we did to those boys and stopped picking on us. Not because I could hurt them but they realize I was just a child like them who did what they all wish to do." I said
"Finnigan and you beat up boys older than yourself for hurting that other kid?" she asked
"No, we helped hold them down while his sister hit them with a bat. I might have said if they said anything I would sick my family on them. They asked why I did that I told them I hated bullies still do" I told her "I think most of the adult found out but none of the other children would say other wise and the boys would not say a thing. The thing you have to learn is children will say and do things that will hurt, but the two things you have to know about that is all children must grow up and Karma is a bitch. I heard before coming here one of those boys had been killed. I am not saying he deserved that but anyone that picks on another person because they can needs there butts kick." I said she nodded in agreement. We ate and talked about our past some more she told me about her family I told her about mine. She did ask about my time before being adopted, I told her it was painful and nothing more she did not press me for answers. We also talked about school and what we like before and or favorite subject now. I told her that I still was doing my non-magic lessons, Seamus, Dudley and myself sent work home weekly and got assignment just the same. Just because I could learn magic did not mean I had to stop my other studies. I mean what if I could not get a job in the magical world. I needed the papers to show I had gone to school to get a job else where. I told hr I wanted to be a preventers like most of my family though Uncle Quatre said I could work for him if I wanted. She seemed shocked I was doing that and asked if I could help her do the same. I told her I would write home about it. "Ah look at the time we are late for the feast. I heard Halloween feast in the magical world are really cool. I promised Dudley I would be there for him, he hates this day." I said standing "Leave your bag; I'll have an elf drop it off at your dorm room later." I said as we made our way out of the room and down the stairs in a rush. We had just reached the common room, when the rest of my house plus the Hufflepuff house and a handful of Slytherin house came in. Padma rushed over and gave me a hug then moved to hug Hermione as she gave me permission to use her given name. She was speaking very fast in her native tongue and I had only started learning not to long ago so I did not under stand a word of what rushed out. "Padma what is wrong?" I asked pulling her off Hermione who was patting the now crying girl on her back.
"A troll got in the school some how. She was worried as we had not seen you since potion class." Dudley said I could tell he was shaken up, to many bad things happen to out family on this day.
"Padma we have been here the whole time and were about to go down to the feast when every one came rushing in. Why are the Hufflepuff and the some Slytherin here?" I asked
"The troll is in the dungeon, that is where the Slytherin house is and the Hufflepuff is not to far off our head perfect invited them to out common room. The headmaster orders everyone to their common room. I was so worried." Padma said I hugged the girl as our study group gather around the bottom of the stair case. I called for nips and she popped into the room with paper and pin I used that to pin a note off to Lady Chang. I had been to call for her if something happened and I was in a safe place and to call for Peps her mate if I needed to be removed. He would come and take Seamus, Dudley and myself to safety. I had been told to do so in my first letter from home. I wanted to ask why but know it was the type of question you asked in person. I saw Susan talking on a message mirror with who I assumed was her aunt. Others called for Elves and sent word to there family what was happening.
"Okay listen up everyone. The feast is going to be finished up in the common rooms. We need to help clear the room so the elves can bring the food up. It is going to be a buffet style. There are some rules our quests need to know. First no one of opposite gender is allowed in the same dorm room. Some people will have to eat in their rooms lets get to work people. Books were taken to rooms the tables were places along one wall soon they were covered in food.
"Why can't girls go in the boys dorms? They do in my house all the time." Hermione asked
"It's just a rule." I said
"Our house has the same" Blaise said
"So does Hufflepuff" Dudley said he still looked down I gave him a quick hug before getting up.
"Be right back." I told the group that sat around a small table brought in for people to eat off of. I came back with the candles and lanterns I had packed for today. I had plain to do this alone with him later but he needs it now. I showed him what I had when I returned. He stood and made his way over to a window and opened the other confused followed leaving their food behind. We both said small preys before lighting the candles and letting them go.
"What was that about?" asked a Hufflepuff with pink hair
"Preys for family lost. You have you forgotten what today might meant to some?" I said more coldly than I meant to.
"No, I just have never seen anyone do that." she snapped back
"Sorry I lost family on this day, so had Dudley and bad thing seem to happen to our family on this day." I said
She looked at me then to Dudley "Your family?" She asked
"Yes, by marriage he is my cousin." I told her as we made our way back to our table to eat "Join us if you want to." I told her as she was eating by herself. She looked at us then to her food.
"If it is not too much to ask who was it you lost?" Padma asked
"My aunt, uncle where murder on this day. My cousin was almost killed and some years later my mother died all on this day. I hate it, it seems like something always happens to family on this day." Dudley said
"You almost died?" Hermione asked me in shock
"No, not Helen. I did not find out we where related till we where almost nine. I was talking about my other cousin and his parents. They were murder today their son was almost killed to. He came to live my family after that but after my mother died Vernon left him someplace." Dudley said he was going to say more but Blaise spoke up
"Sweet Merlin your related to The-Boy-Who-Lived" he said Dudley winced I glared at Blaise for his lack of tact. We would have words latter but now was not the time.
"Yes, and no I have know ideal where he is I wish I did. I was asleep when Vernon left him was ever he did and he was acting very odd. I think my mothers death made something in him snap. If not for my magic I would be dead right now, I woke on the way back. I think I had been given something to make me sleep, I remember I had a very bad feeling about the trip. Harry had never been aloud to go along before why he would get to go now when Lily my sister was left behind. I woke up in the back set Vernon was in the front driving I asked him where Harry was. And he told me he had gotten ride of the freak, I told him Harry was not that. He turned around to yell at me and did not see the intersection and passed thought a large truck could not stop and hit the car. The next thing I knew I was outside the car and it was on fire. Wizards came as what I did was a big deal, they put out the fire in time to save the other driver nut thankful not Vernon. Lily and I were sent to Aunt Marge. I told her what Vernon had said he had done, she was shock but reported it to the police. We are still looking for him, we know he is alive the goblins have told us that much but can only release his location to his guardian." Dudley told everyone, I hugged him.
"Dudley I am sorry I did not mean to bring up such painful memories" Blaise said maybe we would not need to talk.
"The one thing I do not get, I heard my aunt talking about asking the goblins. She said Dumbledore tried and they would not tell him. He is his guardian right they should have told him." Susan said
"No, some guy named Sirius Black is his guardian according to the wills." Dudley said
"But he gave them up" The older Hufflepuff said
"He couldn't have Tonks" Dudley said
"He did every one knows he was the one that lead He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named there that night. Then killed his other close friend along with 13 muggles a few days later." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"He took a oath to be Harry's godfather, it was in the will. He might have been able to give Uncle James and Aunt Lily up but he could not do anything that might hurt Harry. So I do not see how he could have given the secret away, I never even thought he was the keeper." he said by now other had started paying attention to what we where talking about.
"How do you know all this and we don't the trails were public record it would have come out at his trail" said a seventh year of my house.
"I have met the man; everyone knows he was cleared of all charges before school started. The one item that never made the papers was the fact he was never given a trail in the first place. He was shipped off to Azkaban with out one after all everyone knew what happen and who did what. Turns out the truth is found out almost too late, he know where Harry is and plains to meet him over the holiday. I asked him to pass on a letter from me and some pictures of Lily and myself. I don't think he every will come here after he is someplace safe and no one has been able to find him not even the headmaster. As long as he is safe and happy that all that matters to me. He deserves that much after every thing that has happened to him in his life don't you think?" he said, I pulled him back down to his seat as he had stood while speaking. The room looked at each other some looked like they thought The-Boy-Who-Live should be here other looked like the agreed with what Dudley said.
I was about to tell them to go back to there business and not to bug Dudley when the door to the common room was yanked open and our head of house came in with the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff heads rushed into the room. The room went silent as the door closed. They did not look happy but relived to see the people in the room. It was Professor McGonagall that spoke first. "I know why Miss Granger would be here. I what we would like to know is why the Hufflepuffs and several of the Slythrins felt the need to disobey the headmaster orders and not return to their common rooms?" she asked
Our head perfect must have been appointed to speak as he stood and faced the Professors. "Professors, the Slythrin's common room is in the dungeon where we were told the troll was. I offered our common room to them so they would not need to needless risk their lives the ones you see here took that offer. I gave the same offer to the members of Hufflepuff as their common room is near the dungeons. Every member came, I know we where told to go to out common room but as Head boy I felt it would be safer for them to come to ours." he said The Professors paled, Sprout so much I feared she would faint. I was not the only one as she was helped into a chair just in case, I did not need to read mind to know what they were thinking they had let children good off into danger.
"I can assure the Slytherin house made it safely to their common room. We stopped the troll after it had made its way up to the charm's hallway. There was minor damage done in the halls however the girl loo on down that hall was damaged badly and will need repaired that was where we stopped the troll." she said
I could not help it "Holy fuck" slipped passed my lips I looked at Hermione looked like she wanted to say the same.
"Miss Maxwell-Yuy" was said in warning by all the Professors and the perfects in the room.
"Professor Granger, I mean Hermione was in that bath room. If had had not talking her in to coming up her she most likely would have still been in there when the troll came." I said
"Miss Granger I knew something had happened to upset you badly. Please explain how you came to be in the loo. Padma and I took Hermione's hands as she told her story at the end I felt sorry for Ronald Weasley. The Professor were clearly not happy it was the looks gave by the Hufflepuffs, it made me think of the time the children of the play park held down the boys. I knew with out a doubt his life at school would be unpleasant. "I see I had made plains to talk to his parents soon but I think I must call them tonight. Flitwick Sprout can you see about returning everyone to there common rooms. I must see to my own house problems." after they nodded they would "Come along Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said as she made her way out of the room
"Remember I am here if you need to talk" I called out as they left to room. Hermione nodded as she followed her head of house out. After our house guests left and the common room was fixed back like before. I made my way to my bed room Padma was already there in bed. I think the day had worn on her; after all it was not every day you could come face to face with a troll. "So how much do you want to bet this has something to do with what ever is on the third floor?" I asked as I got dressed for bed
"Helen that is a sucker bet. I can not wait to hear what happens to Weasley." she told me. I nodded in agreement with her, "He thinks it is his right to treat any one not a Gryffindor as the are below him. I won't say how he treats those in Slytherin it is plain mean. From what I have read and what little Susan has found out from her aunt, his family is still being investigated in the rolls of hiding Pettigrew." I said as I got into bed, it was then I remembered what the hat had asked me to do and the rat had been Percy rat before he gave it to his brother. "Padma remind me to talk to Percy in the morning about something." I said she said she would before closing her bed hanging. I closed mine and cast a warming charm on them. I did not like the cold that much it brought back bad memories. I would more than likely remember myself but asked her to do so just in case, had the hat know about the rat and this was his way of trying to get help for him. I knew spell would not be easy tonight.

"Helen did you get in trouble?" Padma asked
"No, he wanted to talk about what happen with the study group and what happened in the hallway. She also asked me to apologize to Granger. I think he is right about that. I was harsh when I spoke to her, he also got a room for the group to use so we no longer need to meet in the library and bother others and Madame Prince.

It was a week later and I had just left Transfiguration and meet up with Seamus and Neville as we went to lunch. "I feel sorry for Granger" Neville said
"Why?" I asked after how she had been treating anyone in the study group like lepers. They told me what happen in charms and out in the hallway. I had known it was just a matter of time before this would happen. "I'll be back, tell Padma to save me a sandwich if I do not get back in time." I said handing my bag over to Neville. Ravenclaw had history next and the teacher never notice when someone brought food in the room or left early. The elves would bring students that asked something to eat if they wished, I had found it odd that they were following the students around, but they seemed to be happy about the work. It did not take me that long to reach the bathroom she had to be in. Susan and Hannah were trying to get her to go out and talk about it. "Granger come out. I will not talk to a door." I said
"Come to gloat about how right you are and I am just some know-it-all." she snapped from inside the toilet stall. I kicked the door making her make this odd sound.

"Thanks for holding on to this." I told him.
"It was easy it never even tried to escape." He joked making those that got the joke laugh. I told Padma not to save me food as I had told Lavender the same for Granger.
"Professor" I said as I reached the head table earning the making them all look over at me.
"Um, Granger needs someone to talk to about something that happened after charms. I wanted to find out if it was okay if we went to the dorms and talked?" I asked
"I do not see a problem with that; does this have something to do with what happened some weeks ago?" I nodded that it did "Than you might need more time, if you are willing to do the extra work I will sign a note saying it is fine to miss your next class." He told me.
"That might be a good ideal sir." I said be pinned off a note and handed it to me.
"Give this note to Miss Granger, and tell her that I will be talking to Mr. Weasley and her later to find out both sides of the story." Granger's head of house said handing me a note for her too. I blushed at the fact I did not think to inform her head of house
"Thank you." I said taking both notes, I quickly made my way out of the room. When I reached where I had left Granger stand I passed her not off. "It's from your head of house." I said and walked off; she followed as she read the note. "It mostly says the same as mine. They gave use permission to miss our last class today and the make up assignments. I can take you into the dorms as we do not have a password system they said to have one of them kitchen elves brought us something to eat." I told her coming to a stop outside the door that leads to our common room. I raised the knocker to knock once and smiled she granger jumped as it spoke "A man has nine children half of them are boys. How is this possible?" It asked "There all boys" I told it the door swung inward and I pull granger in breaking her from the small shock. "We have to answer questions and riddles to get in. I different on each time, the number of knocks you give equal your year. I have heard some of the one given to seventh years and they are hard." I told her as I made my way to my dorm room. I tossed my bag on Padma bed and open my trunk to get what I need from within.
"Have a seat on my bed toss your bag any place. Do you want anything in per tickler to eat any food allergies?" I asked she gave me a negative to both I asked for some sandwich and ice water to drink. I did not like the so called juice that was served; the food and drinks appeared on a lap table for us to eat off of. I opened the photo album to a random page before turning it so Granger could see the pictures. "Granger this is a picture of my parents and me on our last family trip." I told her, she looked at the picture then back to me.
"The children in your nationhood picked on you knowing who you parents were." she said, I nodded that she was correct in making that statement. "Your parents are the Gundam Pilots and you most likely know the others and the children were stupid enough to pick on you." She said I turned the page to show more pictures from the same trip. It was one we had a waitress take. It was a group shot of Shin, Mariemaia and I helping the triplets blow out the candle on their cakes. There was also picture of Lady Une after Ti-Lee had tossed a good handful of cake in her face.
"I think them all family; they took me in after I was abandoned. Heero my father, Duo my dad adopted me. Quatre and Lady Une both helped, I treat the other pilots like they are my Uncles. Sally Po Wufei's wife like an aunt. Before I was with them I did not have a good life. There were a lot of rules I was told to follow and if I did not I was punished. I will leave it at that, after I was with them I was so worried that I would be sent away if I did not do every thing just perfect. Father said I had been programmed into thinking that way. He helped my the most to get past a lot of my problems Dad helped me learn to be a kid. It took them almost a year to make believe that no matter what happened I would be loved. I flipped closer to the front of the book it showed a picture of Seamus going out for his green belt. I meet Seamus the first time I went to the park, I got pushed in the mud by some children who parents did not take to kindly to the fact two men where raising a little girl. Before I was to start school I had to be tested to see what my level of learning was. I was told to do my best and not to worry, no matter what my score turned out to be I would be welcomed home. I think I missed my two or three questions on the test. I shocked the teacher with that score let me tell you. They called us in to a meeting and thought it would be best if I was home schooled. I think they were planning to do that way. At that time I still had problems being a kid plus they where worried someone would hurt me to get to them and other children getting in the crossfire." I told her I closed the album and picked up the sandwich taking a bite I smile peanut butter and honey my favorite. "Can I get some milk?" I asked it popped on to the tray shortly after I asked. "Granger, those children stopped picking on me sometime ago when they found out I was like them. I was a child going to a park to play and make friends. One day some older boys who almost killed a little kid in the play park." She gasped when I said that I did not let her ask how. "He was special you know what I knew right. I think he had some short of bone decease. He always had a cast of some short on his body and whore a helmet at all time. His older sister always took care of him when they where in the park. No one and I mean no one would pick on him. He was the type of kid they you could spit in his face and he would offer you his last cookie the next day. One day some old boys thought it would be fun to take his helmet from him and push him around. He ended up being in the hospital for six months, when those boys where sent off they had a broke bone each. By the time Seamus and I had been aloud to return to the play park the other children had learned what we did to those boys and stopped picking on us. Not because I could hurt them but they realize I was just a child like them who did what they all wish to do." I said
"Finnigan and you beat up boys older than yourself for hurting that other kid?" she asked
"No, we helped hold them down while his sister hit them with a bat. I might have said if they said anything I would sick my family on them. They asked why I did that I told them I hated bullies still do" I told her "I think most of the adult found out but none of the other children would say other wise and the boys would not say a thing. The thing you have to learn is children will say and do things that will hurt, but the two things you have to know about that is all children must grow up and Karma is a bitch. I heard before coming here one of those boys had been killed. I am not saying he deserved that but anyone that picks on another person because they can needs there butts kick." I said she nodded in agreement. We ate and talked about our past some more she told me about her family I told her about mine. She did ask about my time before being adopted, I told her it was painful and nothing more she did not press me for answers. We also talked about school and what we like before and or favorite subject now. I told her that I still was doing my non-magic lessons, Seamus, Dudley and myself sent work home weekly and got assignment just the same. Just because I could learn magic did not mean I had to stop my other studies. I mean what if I could not get a job in the magical world. I needed the papers to show I had gone to school to get a job else where. I told hr I wanted to be a preventers like most of my family though Uncle Quatre said I could work for him if I wanted. She seemed shocked I was doing that and asked if I could help her do the same. I told her I would write home about it. "Ah look at the time we are late for the feast. I heard Halloween feast in the magical world are really cool. I promised Dudley I would be there for him, he hates this day." I said standing "Leave your bag; I'll have an elf drop it off at your dorm room later." I said as we made our way out of the room and down the stairs in a rush. We had just reached the common room, when the rest of my house plus the Hufflepuff house and a handful of Slytherin house came in. Padma rushed over and gave me a hug then moved to hug Hermione as she gave me permission to use her given name. She was speaking very fast in her native tongue and I had only started learning not to long ago so I did not under stand a word of what rushed out. "Padma what is wrong?" I asked pulling her off Hermione who was patting the now crying girl on her back.
"A troll got in the school some how. She was worried as we had not seen you since potion class." Dudley said I could tell he was shaken up, to many bad things happen to out family on this day.
"Padma we have been here the whole time and were about to go down to the feast when every one came rushing in. Why are the Hufflepuff and the some Slytherin here?" I asked
"The troll is in the dungeon, that is where the Slytherin house is and the Hufflepuff is not to far off our head perfect invited them to out common room. The headmaster orders everyone to their common room. I was so worried." Padma said I hugged the girl as our study group gather around the bottom of the stair case. I called for nips and she popped into the room with paper and pin I used that to pin a note off to Lady Chang. I had been to call for her if something happened and I was in a safe place and to call for Peps her mate if I needed to be removed. He would come and take Seamus, Dudley and myself to safety. I had been told to do so in my first letter from home. I wanted to ask why but know it was the type of question you asked in person. I saw Susan talking on a message mirror with who I assumed was her aunt. Others called for Elves and sent word to there family what was happening.
"Okay listen up everyone. The feast is going to be finished up in the common rooms. We need to help clear the room so the elves can bring the food up. It is going to be a buffet style. There are some rules our quests need to know. First no one of opposite gender is allowed in the same dorm room. Some people will have to eat in their rooms lets get to work people. Books were taken to rooms the tables were places along one wall soon they were covered in food.
"Why can't girls go in the boys dorms? They do in my house all the time." Hermione asked
"It's just a rule." I said
"Our house has the same" Blaise said
"So does Hufflepuff" Dudley said he still looked down I gave him a quick hug before getting up.
"Be right back." I told the group that sat around a small table brought in for people to eat off of. I came back with the candles and lanterns I had packed for today. I had plain to do this alone with him later but he needs it now. I showed him what I had when I returned. He stood and made his way over to a window and opened the other confused followed leaving their food behind. We both said small preys before lighting the candles and letting them go.
"What was that about?" asked a Hufflepuff with pink hair
"Preys for family lost. You have you forgotten what today might meant to some?" I said more coldly than I meant to.
"No, I just have never seen anyone do that." she snapped back
"Sorry I lost family on this day, so had Dudley and bad thing seem to happen to our family on this day." I said
She looked at me then to Dudley "Your family?" She asked
"Yes, by marriage he is my cousin." I told her as we made our way back to our table to eat "Join us if you want to." I told her as she was eating by herself. She looked at us then to her food.
"If it is not too much to ask who was it you lost?" Padma asked
"My aunt, uncle where murder on this day. My cousin was almost killed and some years later my mother died all on this day. I hate it, it seems like something always happens to family on this day." Dudley said
"You almost died?" Hermione asked me in shock
"No, not Helen. I did not find out we where related till we where almost nine. I was talking about my other cousin and his parents. They were murder today their son was almost killed to. He came to live my family after that but after my mother died Vernon left him someplace." Dudley said he was going to say more but Blaise spoke up
"Sweet Merlin your related to The-Boy-Who-Lived" he said Dudley winced I glared at Blaise for his lack of tact. We would have words latter but now was not the time.
"Yes, and no I have know ideal where he is I wish I did. I was asleep when Vernon left him was ever he did and he was acting very odd. I think my mothers death made something in him snap. If not for my magic I would be dead right now, I woke on the way back. I think I had been given something to make me sleep, I remember I had a very bad feeling about the trip. Harry had never been aloud to go along before why he would get to go now when Lily my sister was left behind. I woke up in the back set Vernon was in the front driving I asked him where Harry was. And he told me he had gotten ride of the freak, I told him Harry was not that. He turned around to yell at me and did not see the intersection and passed thought a large truck could not stop and hit the car. The next thing I knew I was outside the car and it was on fire. Wizards came as what I did was a big deal, they put out the fire in time to save the other driver nut thankful not Vernon. Lily and I were sent to Aunt Marge. I told her what Vernon had said he had done, she was shock but reported it to the police. We are still looking for him, we know he is alive the goblins have told us that much but can only release his location to his guardian." Dudley told everyone, I hugged him.
"Dudley I am sorry I did not mean to bring up such painful memories" Blaise said maybe we would not need to talk.
"The one thing I do not get, I heard my aunt talking about asking the goblins. She said Dumbledore tried and they would not tell him. He is his guardian right they should have told him." Susan said
"No, some guy named Sirius Black is his guardian according to the wills." Dudley said
"But he gave them up" The older Hufflepuff said
"He couldn't have Tonks" Dudley said
"He did every one knows he was the one that lead He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named there that night. Then killed his other close friend along with 13 muggles a few days later." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"He took a oath to be Harry's godfather, it was in the will. He might have been able to give Uncle James and Aunt Lily up but he could not do anything that might hurt Harry. So I do not see how he could have given the secret away, I never even thought he was the keeper." he said by now other had started paying attention to what we where talking about.
"How do you know all this and we don't the trails were public record it would have come out at his trail" said a seventh year of my house.
"I have met the man; everyone knows he was cleared of all charges before school started. The one item that never made the papers was the fact he was never given a trail in the first place. He was shipped off to Azkaban with out one after all everyone knew what happen and who did what. Turns out the truth is found out almost too late, he know where Harry is and plains to meet him over the holiday. I asked him to pass on a letter from me and some pictures of Lily and myself. I don't think he every will come here after he is someplace safe and no one has been able to find him not even the headmaster. As long as he is safe and happy that all that matters to me. He deserves that much after every thing that has happened to him in his life don't you think?" he said, I pulled him back down to his seat as he had stood while speaking. The room looked at each other some looked like they thought The-Boy-Who-Live should be here other looked like the agreed with what Dudley said.
I was about to tell them to go back to there business and not to bug Dudley when the door to the common room was yanked open and our head of house came in with the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff heads rushed into the room. The room went silent as the door closed. They did not look happy but relived to see the people in the room. It was Professor McGonagall that spoke first. "I know why Miss Granger would be here. I what we would like to know is why the Hufflepuffs and several of the Slythrins felt the need to disobey the headmaster orders and not return to their common rooms?" she asked
Our head perfect must have been appointed to speak as he stood and faced the Professors. "Professors, the Slythrin's common room is in the dungeon where we were told the troll was. I offered our common room to them so they would not need to needless risk their lives the ones you see here took that offer. I gave the same offer to the members of Hufflepuff as their common room is near the dungeons. Every member came, I know we where told to go to out common room but as Head boy I felt it would be safer for them to come to ours." he said The Professors paled, Sprout so much I feared she would faint. I was not the only one as she was helped into a chair just in case, I did not need to read mind to know what they were thinking they had let children good off into danger.
"I can assure the Slytherin house made it safely to their common room. We stopped the troll after it had made its way up to the charm's hallway. There was minor damage done in the halls however the girl loo on down that hall was damaged badly and will need repaired that was where we stopped the troll." she said
I could not help it "Holy fuck" slipped passed my lips I looked at Hermione looked like she wanted to say the same.
"Miss Maxwell-Yuy" was said in warning by all the Professors and the perfects in the room.
"Professor Granger, I mean Hermione was in that bath room. If had had not talking her in to coming up her she most likely would have still been in there when the troll came." I said
"Miss Granger I knew something had happened to upset you badly. Please explain how you came to be in the loo. Padma and I took Hermione's hands as she told her story at the end I felt sorry for Ronald Weasley. The Professor were clearly not happy it was the looks gave by the Hufflepuffs, it made me think of the time the children of the play park held down the boys. I knew with out a doubt his life at school would be unpleasant. "I see I had made plains to talk to his parents soon but I think I must call them tonight. Flitwick Sprout can you see about returning everyone to there common rooms. I must see to my own house problems." after they nodded they would "Come along Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said as she made her way out of the room
"Remember I am here if you need to talk" I called out as they left to room. Hermione nodded as she followed her head of house out. After our house guests left and the common room was fixed back like before. I made my way to my bed room Padma was already there in bed. I think the day had worn on her; after all it was not every day you could come face to face with a troll. "So how much do you want to bet this has something to do with what ever is on the third floor?" I asked as I got dressed for bed
"Helen that is a sucker bet. I can not wait to hear what happens to Weasley." she told me. I nodded in agreement with her, "He thinks it is his right to treat any one not a Gryffindor as the are below him. I won't say how he treats those in Slytherin it is plain mean. From what I have read and what little Susan has found out from her aunt, his family is still being investigated in the rolls of hiding Pettigrew." I said as I got into bed, it was then I remembered what the hat had asked me to do and the rat had been Percy rat before he gave it to his brother. "Padma remind me to talk to Percy in the morning about something." I said she said she would before closing her bed hanging. I closed mine and cast a warming charm on them. I did not like the cold that much it brought back bad memories. I would more than likely remember myself but asked her to do so just in case, had the hat know about the rat and this was his way of trying to get help for him. I knew spell would not be easy tonight.
