Your Part: The charms classroom was bustling with chatter. My row consisted of Hermionie beside Ron as I was in between him and Harry.
"How was quidditch practice yesterday Harry" I asked excitedly. "It was amazing. I get to catch the golden snitch. Oh and y/n Oliver saw you practicing with me on the pitch. He thinks you could have potential as a chaser and wants you to practice with us a few times this years " Harry exclaimed. "Really thank you so much" I said with glee fist pumping Harry.
"Alright class quiet down. Now one of a wizards most rudimentary skills is the act of levitation. Uh do you all have your feathers" Proffesor Flitwick squeaked as we all raised ours. "Now don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing. Swish and flick. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa" he finished.
My partner was Harry as he struggled a bit with his feather. "You'll get it Harry, all you have to do is"- but I was cut off to hear the arguing of Ron and Hermionie.
"Stop, stop, stop, you're going to take someone's eye out. Besides it's leviOsa, not
Leviosar" Hermionie said annoyed. I rolled my eyes a bit before Ron responded with "You do it then if you're so clever. Go on, go on".
Hermionie sat up in confidence before I did the same. Weirdly like we had rehearsed at the same time we did our movement of swish and flick before saying "wingardium leviOsa". Our feathers went up as Hermionie and I smiled proudly.
"Oh well done see here everyone Miss Granger and miss L/n have done it. Oh splendid" Proffesor Flitwick chirped. Ron crashed his head into his arms in disappointment. "It's fine you'll get it next time" I whispered but he just groaned in return.

We were walking outside as I stood next to Ron. "It's leviOsa not leviosar. Honestly she's a nightmare, no wonder she hasn't got any friends" Ron scoffed. Hermionie walked by tears coming from her eyes as I jabbed Ron in the stomach running after her. "I think she heard you" said Harry softly. I turned back giving Ron a huge glare as he frowned looking down.

Ron's Part: Harry and I were sitting in the Great Hall as we ate the wide spread of beautiful candy on each table for Halloween. "This food is great" I mumbled as Harry smiled before asking "Hey where's y/n and Hermionie".
"Parvati Patil said they wouldn't come out of the girls bathroom. She said they'd been in there all afternoon...crying" Neville responded.
I never wanted to hurt y/n too, part of me even regretted what I said to Hermionie. But just a bit. My thoughts were then interrupted by Proffesor Quirrel who came in yelling "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON,TROLL IN THE DUNGEON...thought you outta know". The next thing I saw was him faint before my jaw dropped as I screamed along with Harry.
Your Part: Hermionie has been crying for hours. I finally got her to stop as she agreed that we should join the feast now. "Ready to go" I asked giving her a small tissue to finish wiping her tears. She smiled and nodded but before we could leave a thumping in the hall interrupted us.
"What was that" I asked. "I'm not sure let's just"- but before Hermione could finish her sentence a troll. And I mean a real live troll came into the girls washroom. "Y/n run now" I heard Hermionie yell. She ran off and locked herself in a stall but I couldn't move. I was rooted to the spot in shock. Never in my entire life had I seen a troll let alone any living thing this tall and scary.
Then that's when I saw them. Harry and Ron rushed into the room before Harry yelled "y/n move". In a few seconds I felt Ron's hands on my back pushing me out of the way as Harry and him stood in front of the troll who was going nuts by the way.
The troll smashed Hermionies stall as she ran to join me in the corner of the bathroom. "Hey pea brain" Ron yelled before he threw a piece of wood at the trolls head as it was coming towards us. Then the next thing I know Harry is running and jumping on top of the trolls back. He sticks his wand in the trolls nose. "Ew" I hear Ron groan as Harry yelps.
Then I see Harry being held by one leg as the troll swipes at him with its club. "Do something" Harry yells. "What" Ron responds. "Anything" Hermionie and I yell at the same time. Then I see Ron pick up his wand as an idea flashes in my mind. He glances at me before I make eye contact saying "swish and flick". Ron focuses before bringing his wand up doing the movement before commanding "wingardium leviOsa".
The trolls club crashes down on its head as it falls to the ground. I get up as Ron and I say "cool" at the same time. Harry slowly pulls his wand out of the trolls nose recoiling at how gross it looks. "Is it dead" Hermionie questions. "I don't think so just knocked out" Harry responds.
The next thing we know Mcgonagoll enters with Snape and Quirell. I huddle between Ron and Harry as they approach us. "Oh-oh my goodness. E-explain yourselves, please" Mcgonagoll asks. "It's my fault Proffesor Mcgonagoll" Harry starts before Hermionie and I step up. "Miss granger, Miss L/n" she questions.
"We went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought we could handle it" Hermionie started. "But we were wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't come and found us...we'd probably be dead" I finished looking down along with Hermionie. Ron glances my way his mouth open at the both of us before nodding his head at me.
"Be that as it may...it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part, Ms. Granger. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor as well as Miss L/n for your serious lack of judgment. As for you two gentlemen I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students could take on a full grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points...will be awarded to each of you. For sheer dumb luck" Mcgonagoll finished before they exited the room.

Harry and Hermionie had gone off to bed after Ron apologized to her. We all agreed it was time to be friends. As for this moment I was sitting beside Ron on one of our common room couches as the fire crackled in front of us.
"I'm really sorry for what I said today" Ron mumbled beside me as his eyes focused on me. I looked at the fire before saying "it's fine, at least you and Hermionie are friends now. You know you really did save my life back there. Thanks Ron, for real" I finished as I looked at him. He gulped his ears going a bit red as he smiled. "It was no big deal" he responded.
We sat there for a minute as a comfortable silence set in. Soon I watched out of the corner of my eye to see Ron inch just a bit closer to me so we were squished together comfortably on the couch. I smiled and we sat there like that for another twenty minutes as I listened to Ron tell me all about his favourite quidditch team: the chudley cannons.
"Well we should go to bed, quidditch match is tomorrow" I said as I got up. Before Ron went to move from his seat as well I quickly ran over from behind giving his hair a scruff before running up the stairs laughing to myself.

It was the morning as Hermionie and I made our way to the great hall dressed in Gryffindor colours. I walked over sitting next to Ron who gave me a small smile as I looked in front of me to see a nervous Harry. "Aren't you going to eat anything" I asked.
"Y/n's right Harry you're gonna need your strength today" Hermionie added. "I'm not hungry" Harry mumbled as he pushed his eggs around his plate.
"Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you...even if it is against Slytherin" Proffesor Snape snarled as he limped past us. I looked over to Ron who rolled his eyes in return before Harry exclaimed "That explains the blood". I furrowed my brows in confusion as I asked "Blood. What do you mean Harry".
"Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping" Harry whispered "But why would anyone go near that dog" Hermionie asked.
"The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret" Harry went on as Ron and I leaned in on the edge of our seats.
"So you're saying..."
"That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants".
Soon an owl entered the great hall as we realized it was making its way to us. "Wait a minute what's going on. The post isn't supposed to come this early" I questioned as Ron looked to me shrugging.
As the owl came closer it was easy to realize it was Hedwig. It dropped a big package onto our table as Harry exclaimed "but I never get mail". "Guess this time is different" I said smiling as I patted his shoulder from across the table. He smiled before Ron excitedly responded "let's open it"!
All four of us tore at the wrapping of the package as more students hovered over all of us, Dean Thomas' head leaning over my shoulder. Then we got to the revealing of the package showing it was a broom. "It's a broomstick" Harry said in glee. "That's not just any broomstick Harry. That's a nimbus 2000" Ron answered his mouth wide open in shock and excitement.
"But who" Hermionie asked before I saw Proffesor Mcgonagoll gleaming at us, especially Harry who nodded at her.
"Man this match is gonna be amazing" I heard Ron say beside me as he gave my arm a light squeeze. "Yea...wicked" I responded looking into his eyes.
Next chapter is gonna be the quidditch match and more guys! I'm so excited and am glad I got rid of my writers block. I hope all of you are doing well and can't wait to write the next chapter! Byeeee :)
