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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBlffrVYC8

On Halloween morning I joined my friends at the Gryffindor table as usual and I filled my stomach with pumpkin flavored pancakes. Mmmmm. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GB59kAST8

"Calm down, Katrina!" Harry said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I was bouncing uncontrollably in my seat again.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPscZqdSkWN

"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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCISKTtZMzT

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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGWqZwB9Yk

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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NFPRhdnBL

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7kkfU7qxM

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD05w7GKiUR

As the class filed out at the end of the period, I hurried up to Hermione.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvacvgwnVI

"Is everything ok with you and Ron?" 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu4SrqfMZl

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQWkmwhXEW

"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?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ON6cEuB3

We were walking back to the Great Hall for lunch when we found ourselves walking behind Harry and Ron.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94LWk6gfK2

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSS07r1uMM

"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!" 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgiRVcbS1X

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq4WhPDVOJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2hEun3tw7

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKGKjfSbG

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7Rkpvjsy

I finally found her crying in one of the girls bathrooms near the dungeons. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDpm1RmeK

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMRzoBOjJW

"Hermione? Hermione please come out! I wanna talk to you!" I said banging on the stall.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHC1NTJhmZ

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Q63NqpsP
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqYCuQZxl

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWqun11kE0

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJZrifp6L
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Y0NxXdsr

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3Q4iQ8tB

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Eh64HS3Y

"You're crazy, you know that right, Katrina?" Hermione gasped; half sobbing, half laughing. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgIMASFUmx

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1GhkNj1sg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6bSfSyZzr

"Yup! Just yet another reason why you love me," I laughed back as I gave her a big hug. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfih86cc5Al

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJnwbt45Y5

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzd1mHv0no
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ODBnV5Ln

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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHAwUotTqR

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEi3FRWPT7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlLxKLjgam

We hugged each other again and I smiled at her as I brushed tears off my cheeks. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QCkHFBHA

"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!"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4QElVoNB

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68VSLiJJs7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9nWwwN1Wp

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLs8ZeExQV

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysy88JT4Gi

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZdnWQ8FnI
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jT3XG7TCH

"Katrina! Stand still and keep as quiet as you can!" She whispered frantically. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fE0WdM5J4

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbDvejGj6A
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysWHijzB0U

"Hermione what's going on!" I whispered back. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCILdEa3u

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidfJsXdyV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu1xZNjlTF

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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyb4yutHU7

"Merlins pants, Hermione! It's a troll!" I cried out quietly.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpnQtn4nKf

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Jhtd1NNR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWONlyBRoW5

Slowly walking into the room was a humongous smelly old troll. I felt my blood freeze as half-formed plans raced through my mind.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAk45IwiwX

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkkRUh5UT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIzjG7N4q

"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. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyL0ACqILs

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKexGbUmy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgFMyv4UFJ

"Okayyy...GO!" I shouted as I flung the stall door open as the troll reached the far end of the room.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ648y3rHDX0

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7YL5hSWG
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzcAikDB9j

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4hKEQYcF

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD37TruBm4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveqYpRtxw6

We ran back into a stall as I heard voices from outside.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFX5MteD3V

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SsEdqtK6Z

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdo5PzM3jz

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1K7rNtzhB

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDyTK2Adar
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoAR39oFdZ

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJB4Vj6I3

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ176ajbAgL

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