With Quidditch practice three evenings a week on top of homework; and helping Ron and Harry with theirs, I could hardly believe it when I realized that I'd been at Hogwarts two months already. The castle felt more like home than the orphanage ever had and I could tell that Harry felt the same. Our lessons were also becoming more and more interesting now that we had mastered the basics. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs66sFJiwf

On Halloween morning I joined my friends at the Gryffindor table as usual and I filled my stomach with pumpkin flavored pancakes. Mmmmm. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFug5fSKM0

"Calm down, Katrina!" Harry said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I was bouncing uncontrollably in my seat again.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A9n3VvzlD

"I can't help it, Harry! Did you hear Professor Flitwick at the end of last class? He said we were going to finally learn how to make objects fly! How cool is that!" Harry just shook his head and chuckled but I could tell he was excited to. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNBmiidRMi

Unfortunately, Flitwick paired Ron with Hermione and Harry with Seamus Finnigan and I got stuck with...Malfoy of all people. I groaned out loud when I saw who my partner was and Harry patted my back in support as he left me to go sit with Seamus. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3EwpIIP7a

I slammed my books onto the desk and sat down with a huff. "Look I know neither of us wants to be partners so let's get one thing straight Malfoy. You don"t talk to me and I won't talk to you unless either of us needs help that the other can give. Sound good?"427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoNp0yIo4Y

"Whatever you say, princess." I looked over at Malfoy to see him give me a sly grin. I tilted my head in confusion as I tried to understand the look in his eyes but he didn't say anything else and I decided to leave it be.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4DaIyVMyV

From where I sat in the classroom, I could hear Hermione trying to help Ron as he was saying the spell wrong and gesturing too wildly. I slapped a hand to my forehead as I sensed Ron's frustration with my friend. This was not going to end well.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRwb1FwkX2

As the class filed out at the end of the period, I hurried up to Hermione.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlXbpsAhXx

"Is everything ok with you and Ron?" 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PxxYi9zM

"No! He is such a pig-headed, freckle-faced ass!" Hermione exclaimed as her face turned red. "All I was trying to do was help him get the spell right and he got all upset! I mean what was I supposed to do? Just let him get it wrong or injure himself or someone else?" My eyes widened in shock. Did I really hear Hermione just curse?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ouEaQzEKv

We were walking back to the Great Hall for lunch when we found ourselves walking behind Harry and Ron.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFF4SASCjG

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gBugM2n2

"It's no wonder no one can stand her," we heard Ron say to Harry. I clasped my hands to my mouth in shock. "She's a nightmare, honestly!" 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpeP8DghNb

"Hermione!" I shouted as she dashed off in front of me; knocking into the red haired idiot along the way. I turned to face my two friends.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigBwz44gVL

"Ron! How could you say such a mean thing! It's not nice to talk about people behind their back especially when you are just feeling jealous! I correct you all the time like she just did so don't be a hypocrite. If that's really how you feel than...than I'm not sure how much longer I wanna be your friend." I yelled at Ron. I was surprised that I'd actually said what I'd just said, but right now Hermione was more important so I spent the rest of the lunch period trying to chase her down.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkWrLvJqh

I finally found her crying in one of the girls bathrooms near the dungeons. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk27GV7Vr2u

"Hermione? Hermione please come out! I wanna talk to you!" I said banging on the stall.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFzG0E0ahv

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qQzFnseca
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXMRPQpmSj

"Just leave me alone, Katrina! You don't have to pretend to be my friend anymore!" I could hear her sobbing away and it broke my heart.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUonozhdtR

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIcOobxJ7b
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EFj5rOBRR

"Hermione, I'm not pretending. Other than Harry, you the only best friend that I've ever had! Your smart, funny, and I love you just the way you are! So if you're not gonna come out...than I'm coming in!" With that said, I climbed onto the toilet seat in the next stall and pulled myself up so my feet dangled over the divider of Hermione's. I could see her startled expression as she glanced up at me in shock. I could help but giggle as I struggled to clamber down to join her in the stall.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MHnxMF7xr

"You're crazy, you know that right, Katrina?" Hermione gasped; half sobbing, half laughing. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2nu2lT0c

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2trRYbkPmR
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQybaSrjOm

"Yup! Just yet another reason why you love me," I laughed back as I gave her a big hug. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyL0Pp7U6

We spent the rest of the afternoon in the bathroom exchanging stories. She told me how all the first-years had been avoiding her and calling her names behind her back since classes had started which amazed me. How had I missed that? I guess I'd just been spending too much time with Harry and Ron. I felt bad.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPR09TsZvy

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY98Qvs608
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxKYjkpOIQ

In exchange, I told her about the girls at the orphanage and all the awful pranks they'd pulled on me over the years and the times they'd taken things further and called me names and beat me up because I was different. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rYOfX8Bd1

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpohCQjJOIq

We hugged each other again and I smiled at her as I brushed tears off my cheeks. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ic12AG35a

"Hey Hermione, thanks for listening. I haven't told anyone about that and I promise to pay more attention to what people say to you. It's really not nice of them to say those kinds of things about you. If they knew you like I did they wouldn't talk to you like that!"427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqRpxhRlw

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGi8AllCsF
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX44P2ePAI

"Same goes for you, Katrina! And if I ever get a chance to visit those 'friends' of yours at the orphanage, they better watch out!" I laughed at the evil grin she was giving me and hugged her again.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4MwzTpLot

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jaSkTEQYg

"Hey I think it's time we got out of here! I'm sure the feast has started and neither of us have eaten in forever!" I lightly shoved her towards the stall door and was about to follow her out when she rushed back in and locked the door.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPRxhNepbk

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSGrB0X3a0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVtQnObY9E

"Katrina! Stand still and keep as quiet as you can!" She whispered frantically. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qm7laM9dC

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAfpJWLd6H
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzvAlfnOC

"Hermione what's going on!" I whispered back. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnJUdgZdyo

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbEsxn08B2
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndVSUog4DK

She couldn't get the words out and just kept shaking her head. I slowly climbed back up into the toilet seat and slowly peered over the top. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHqXLn9891

"Merlins pants, Hermione! It's a troll!" I cried out quietly.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb2hU7iMO6

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgHnpVjYB1
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxXfi7wLge

Slowly walking into the room was a humongous smelly old troll. I felt my blood freeze as half-formed plans raced through my mind.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgLNksrcVP

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVRswAAJxA
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iSLfQ6anR

"Ok Hermione, when I say the word, we are going to dash out and make for the door, got it?" She silently nodded and I squinted through the crack in the side of the door waiting for our chance. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosdMr4LmXg

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFJgCFvFHA
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vruv940LB

"Okayyy...GO!" I shouted as I flung the stall door open as the troll reached the far end of the room.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMBlVTpy5B

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAufyJVGAS
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iMAZyI4eP

We dashed to the bathroom door and tried to wrench it open only to find it was locked. We screamed as the troll turned to face us and growled.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBrGQ56S3X

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVR14vrCG
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvIyGet8jn

We ran back into a stall as I heard voices from outside.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3H1haqc6N

"Harry, Ron?! Heeeeeelp" we screamed again as the troll swung its ginormous bat into the top of the stalls. Wood splintered and cracked as Hermione and I were buried under a pile of rubble. Through a haze of dust I saw Harry and Ron sprint into the room.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyMXOBzNxp

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aMRKMTNYi
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEsxhxa9tu

"Katrina, Hermione, MOVE!" I heard Harry shout. I spotted Hermione and dragged her with me to a corner by the sinks as the troll swung again where our bodies had just lain.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n8D6EwHNs

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqfCHaUu2o
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJyzUdKVC

It turned around and we screamed again as its' bat came swinging down on us again...
