Aria ran in the direction that Hermione went. She was still a little shocked from what happened just 5 minutes ago. Aria didn't know where she was going so she had to ask somebody if they know where Hermione went.
Fred, George, and Lee were walking past the girls bathroom when they saw Hermione run in. "Girls. Honestly." Fred said. The two boys nodded in agreement. "But Aria on the other hand." Lee said with a smile. "Absolutely beautiful she is. Did you see Wood when he told us Harry and Aria were on the team? He was practically skipping."
All three of them laughed at that. Aria heard laughing so she went to the sound and she saw the three boys talking. "Thank goodness y'all were here. I am kinda lost." Aria said walking up to the trio. All three heads snapped in her direction. "Well Love, where do you need to go?" Fred asked with a smirk playing on his lips. Aria nervously giggled, "I need to find Hermione and I don't really know where I am."
All three boys looked at each other and smiled. "Don't worry, Hermione just ran into the girls bathrooms." George stated pointing to the door farthest down on the left. "Thank you, boys. If you need anything I will help you." Aria said hugging the three boys. "Actually would you mind helping us on some pranks we do?" Fred asked looking down at the blue eyed girl.
Aria smiled grew ten times bigger. "Really!?" The trinity smiled at the beautiful girl. "Of course you can. Lee here only helps when we need him too, but you can come too." George voiced. Aria jumped into both of their arms and gave them a big hug. "That would be amazing. Now I got to go get Hermione. See you boys later." She spoke to them.
The trio said bye and watched her walk to the girls bathroom. "You two have grown soft." Lee stated laughing. "Oh shove it Lee. You have a little drool right here." Fred said pointing to the corner of his lip while smirking. Lee blushed and quickly whipped it away. "At least I didn't look at her with heart and and practically melted." Lee said pointing and accusing finger towards George.
"Shut it. At least I didn't...I didn't...um. Ugh! You lot are so rude." George said narrowing his eyes. *Bloody wanker.* He whispered as he walked away. The two of the boys laughed and made fun of George the rest of the day.
Meanwhile at the bathroom
"Hermione?" Aria said walking into the bathroom. "Aria?" 'Monie reasoned walking out of the stall with puffy eyes. Aria's heart broke fro the girl. "Come here." She said holding out both of her arms for her to hug her. Hermione ran into her arms and cried into her shoulder.
"Why*sniff*are you *sniffle* here?" Hermione asked. "Because my best friend needs a big hug and told that Ron is wrong. You are a brilliant witch and Ron is just jealous of you. You Hermione have me as your best friend and I am sure once every warms up to the fact that you a bloody amazing everyone will want to be your friend." She said holding the girl.
"Thank you, Aria. It means a lot to me." Hermione said smiling. "No problem no let me conquer some food and we will eat in here until you are ready to come out, okay?" Aria said with a snap of her fingers food appeared in Hermione's hands. "That would be amazing. Can we play a game?" The bushy-haired girl asked.
"I don't see why not. What do you want to play?" Aria questioned Hermonie. "How about 21 questions," Hermione said whilst smirking. "How do you play 21 questions?" Aria asked with a confused face. "Oh, so I ask you a question and you answer. Then you ask a question and I answer." 'Mione said giggling. "That makes sense. You can go first." Aria told her. "Okay, so..."
At Dinner Everyone was wondering where the Hogwarts beauty was at since she was not in the hall. "Do you know where Aria and Hermione are?" Harry asked Fred. He shook his head no and turned to talk to George about a new prank. "I heard both of them are in the girl's bathroom. Hermione won't come out and Aria is staying with her." Neville told Harry. "Thanks Neville, Ron you know this is your fault that Aria isn't talking to us," Harry said annoyed towards Ronald. Ron nodded sheepishly and started to eat again.
Professor Quirrell came bursting in through the doors screaming terrified, "TROLL, IN THE DUNGEON. TROLL in the Dungeon." Quirrell stopped for a moment looking faint. Everyone looked around confused. "Thought you gotta know." He said before fainting. All of the students started to scream. Ron dropped all the food in his hand and started to run. Dumbledore stood up fastly and exclaimed thundering, "SILENCE!" The students all stood frozen waiting for what they should do next. "Please do not panic. Well, prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons." People started to file out of the Great Hall.
Professor Snape took of towards the door behind the teachers' table with his cloak bellowing. While Ron and Harry were walking out they remember something. "Ron, what about Aria and Hermione. They don't know." Harry exclaimed and pulled Ron towards the girls' bathroom. They stopped when they saw the troll go towards the girls' bathroom. "I guess the Troll is out of the dungeons," Ron stated.
Meanwhile, in the girls' bathroom, Aria and Hermione were just walking out of the stalls and hugged. "Better?" Aria asked and Hermione nodded. Aria saw Troll feet behind Hermione. *Get under the stalls* She whisper-commanded. Hermione nodded and went under the stalls while Aria placed a protective charm on her and Hermione. She then followed Hermione under the stalls. "We're going to be okay." Aria said to Hermione. The Troll hit through half of the stalls with his club. Hermione screamed while Aria was calm.
Harry and Ron just burst into the bathroom. "Aria, Hermione, MOVE!" Harry exclaimed nervously for his friend and crush. The two army crawled to the sinks. Harry and Ron started to throw broken pieces of wood towards the Troll. The Troll was still going after them even if pieces of wood were being thrown at him. Aria wrapped her arms around Hermione to protect her from the Troll since she can't be hurt because, well, she is a goddess. "Hey, pea-brain!" Ron said throwing a piece of wood at his head. This distracted the Troll for a second in order for Aria and Hermione to move away from the Troll.
The Troll went back on task and hit his club through the sink next to the two girls. Harry held up his wand and ran towards the Troll and grabbed onto his club. He was dropped to on the Troll's shoulders. The Troll swung his head left and right in order for Harry to drop, but his wand got stuck up his nose. The three on the ground looked disgusted. The Troll tried to get the wand out of his nose by flailing around more and suddenly took Harry by the leg. Harry was hung upside down while the Troll swung his club to hit Harry, but Harry moved up just in time. "Do something!" Harry told Ron in between swings. "What?!" He asked. "Anything!" Ron took out his wand. "Swish and flick," Hermione said doing the wand movements.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron said and the club went out of the Troll's hand. The club was right above his head and it dropped down and hit the Troll. "Cool," Ron muttered. The Troll started to wave around about to go unconscious and let Harry go. He was about to be crushed so Aria with a wave of her hand sent the Troll to a paralyzed state so he would be standing. "Thanks, Aria," Harry said looking at her. She nodded and smiled at him. Both of the girls got up. "Is it dead?" Hermione asked. "No, He is knock out and is paralyzed in this position till in unfreeze him," Aria said while getting the wand out of its nose and to Harry's hand with a snap of her fingers. "Ugh, troll boogies, and thanks," Harry said and she nodded.
The Professors came running in like a bat out of hell. "Oh my goodness. Explain yourselves, all four of you." All four looked at each other before Aria spoke up. "It is my fault, Professor." Everyone was shocked. "Miss Merlin?" McGonagall looked surprised. "Yes Professor, I went after the Troll because I knew I could take it on after all you know I have been training since I was five to defeat anything. Anyways, I went after it not knowing Hermione, Ron, and Harry were behind me. As soon as they got near the Troll I put a protective charm on all three of them. Ron knocked the Troll unconscious and I paralyzed it so it wouldn't crush the other two." Aria said confidently. She saw Professor Snape with blood on his leg and nudged the two boys to look.
"Well done Miss Merlin. Also, I will award all of you 5 points each, for luck that you had a very skilled witch. You all know that she has battled all of the founders, the gods, and goddess, and Professor Dumbledore himself and won?" She asked them. All three of them looked at their friend with wide mouths while shaking their heads. "Well, now you know. Also if Miss Merlin goes to fight something don't follow. Of to your beds." All of the Professors follow. Aria vanished the troll back to where it came from.
"Aria, you are so bloody brilliant," Ron said looking at her in awe. She giggled and kissed him on the cheek and whispered, * Apologies to Hermione and we can talk.* Ron shuddered involuntarily because her hot breath tickled his ear. While they were walking up to their dorms Ron finally said, "Hermione, I am sorry about earlier. I was just a little jealous of how good you could do the spell." "It is fine Ron. Maybe I or Aria can teach both of you spells." Hermione said laughing a little. Ron let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in. "Now that we are all friends lets go to sleep."
All of them nodded and Hermione said goodnight and walked up as soon as they got to the common room. "Goodnight boys," Aria said kissing both of their cheeks and walked up the stairs with the boys watching her up. Once she was out of sight both looked at each other. "She is one amazing girl." Harry breathed out dreamily. "She sure is." Ron agreed and both walked upstairs and went to sleep dreaming about a certain blue eyes beauty. The Beauty of Hogwarts.
