Bab 50: Sleeping Problem

Stefan look at the room with a satisfied expression, the same gigantic bed for 10 people was inside with satin sheets, and big pillows.

Stefan walked out of his bedroom and proceed to change the golden plaque for a silver one that said "Stefan Morningstar", he then walked out of the dormitories and saw that Mary, Daphne and Tracey were talking cheerfully about something. He walked to them and sat beside Mary.

"So which broom did you bought?" said Daphne with curiosity in her voice,

"Nimbus 2000" said Stefan with a calm voice

"Wow that's the fastest broom in sale right now, hahaha, you're going to crush Potter" said Daphne with a cheery voice.

They kept talking while Stefan listened to music on his tablet, till it was finally 12:30 am.

"Let's go" said Stefan as he stood up from the couch and started walking to the exit of the common room followed by Mary and the girls.

Meanwhile, in the dormitories of Gryffindor, Harry and Ron are walking out of their dormitories, "Maybe we shouldn't go... I'm sure George and Fred can take care of that duel Ron..." said Harry with a hesitating expression.

"No, I want to see when George and Fred crush Stefan..." said Ron with a resentful voice.

They walked to the common room, where they saw the two twin brothers of Ron, George, and Fred.

"Finally guys, I thought you were not going to come to see how we repay Stefan for your hand Ron" said George while smirking.

"Yeah, Ron, Harry we have planned which spells we are going to use on him" said Fred with a smile on his face while showing a paper to Ron and Harry.

"I didn't believe it when I heard it but you're really going to have a duel with Stefan..." said a voice from a corner of the common room where Hermione was, with a book on her hand.

"Hermione" said Ron and Harry alarmed as they saw her.

While George and Fred pointed their wands at her and said "Don't worry we are just going to put you to sleep..."

"Don't you think about it, I told Parvati Patil that if I don't come to the dormitories in 5 minutes, to come and look for me... When I wake up I'm going to go to your brother Percy the prefect and tell him everything..." said Hermione while looking at the twins.

Fred and George flinched at the idea of Percy knowing about them.

"Hermione he destroyed my hand... and he accepted the duel..." said Ron while looking at her with an annoyed face.

"Your hand is pretty well, as far I can see" said Hermione as he looked at his hand.

"You were not there, he did crush Ron's hand..." said Harry while remembering the sound of the bones of Ron breaking.

"George and Fred are going to give him what he deserves..." said Harry.

"Do you think he is an idiot, of course he accepted the duel, you have not heard the stories of him dueling with Zabini, he crushed Zabini 'The juvenile champion of duels in Britain', I'm sure Zabini can deal with George and Fred easily, but still Stefan crushed him" said Hermione with proud in her voice unconsciously.

George and Fred gulped down as they heard that but gritted their teeth and said "Still we challenged him to the duel, if we don't go, everybody will know about it and they will call us cowards"

Harry and Ron looked at each other as it was the first time they heard about the duel between Zabini and Stefan.

"You're lying if that duel was real, why nobody knows about it?, it should have been known already..." said Ron with uncertainty in his voice as he looked at Hermione for any look of her lying about it.

"I've been friends with them since day one... and only the Slytherins knows about it, Daphne told me about it before..." said Hermione with a sad face.

"What?, missing your Slytherin friends?" said Ron with an annoyed face.

"Why do you care so much about it anyway" said Harry with an annoyed face.

"Because, you have already lost too many points for Gryffindor, the points I have earned by studying all day" said Hermione.

"We are going to go, even if you tell Percy, our honor it's in stake" said Fred with a hesitated face.

"Just apologize to him, and forget about this..." said Hermione while looking with a serious face at them.

"After giving him a couple of spells we're going to call it even" said George with a determined face, as he started walking beside Fred to the entrance of the common room, Harry and Ron nodded at themselves as they followed them a few steps behind.

Hermione gritted her teeth and followed them.

--------

Stefan and the girls arrived at the Trophies Room, and waited for the Weasley Twins to arrive.

"Crush the Weasley Twins" said Daphne with an excited face, "Yes, crush them" said the quietly Tracey, while nodding at Stefan and Mary.

Finally after some minutes steps were heard in the Trophies Room, and the Weasley Brothers, followed by Ron, Harry and Hermione arrived.

As Hermione arrived she didn't know what to say but she heard the voice of Stefan saying "Why are you here Hermione?"

Hermione flinched as she heard him questioning her, she saw his silver eyes looking straight at her.

"Stefan they are here to apologize to you and Mary... Could you stop this please?" said Hermione while pleading with her eyes at him.

Stefan turned his head to look at the Weasley Twins and said with a calm voice "If you're going to apologize, do it properly, kneel"

Fred and George gnashed their teeth as they hear that, and said "You're the one who is going to apologize when we're done with you after the duel Stefan"

Stefan turned his head to look at Hermione and said "I already gave them a chance, what's going to happen it's not up to me anymore"

Hermione bit her lips as she heard that and nodded at him, as she moved to the side.

While Ron and Harry said to the twins "Crush him..."

"Stefan do you know, how a duel works?" said George as he took a step forward.

"Yes, let's do this quickly, I want to go to sleep" said Stefan with a calm voice as he took a step forward, while the others moved to the side.

Stefan walked in front of George who did the same, as they were one meter in front of each other, Stefan just nodded at George or so it seems saw, and George bowed lightly to Stefan, they both turned around and started walking...

5 steps.... 10 steps... 20 steps

Stefan turned around calmly while taking a brown wand from his robe, and looked at George as if he was waiting for him to make his move.

George turned around and saw Stefan looking at him with a calm face, he got angry as he thought he was being sub estimated, he waved his hand and said "Expulso" a white bolt of lightning came out of the tip of his wand as it was about to hit Stefan on the chest, Stefan waved his hand while saying "Protego" a dark-transparent mist appeared in front of him that intercepted the white lightning bolt with no difficulty.

The dark-transparent mist vanished and Stefan was standing there with a calm face, he opened his mouth and said "If you don't attack, I will attack... "Expulso" a dark bolt of lightning came out of his wand that started flying in direction of George who said "You're not the only one who knows how to protect" "Protego" a white thin mist appeared in front of him, but as the spell of Stefan hit the Protego shield of George, the shield started to crack fastly till it broke completely and the black bolt of lightning hit George on the chest, he was sent flying 3 meters backward.

"Expelliarmus" said another voice coming from the side while a red bolt of lightning was coming rapidly to Stefan.

"Expelliarmus" said Stefan calmly, a black bolt of lightning came out of the wand of Stefan and collided with the spell of Fred who was the one who cast the spell.

The two spells were linked in mid-air... But the viewers of the duel noticed the difference of the casters... Stefan had a calm face, while Fred was starting to sweat as he tried to keep the spell to not be pushed back by the spell of Stefan.

"Thought you were going to teach me a lesson" said Stefan with a mocking smile, as he put a bit of power in his spell, immediately his black bolt of lightning started to push the red one of Fred who started to sweat more as he tried to put a bit of resistance.

"Let's end this" Stefan put a bit of more power and his black bolt of lightning pushed for completely the red bolt of lightning of Fred till the black bolt of lightning ended hitting Fred on his hand, his wand flew out of his hand, "Accio" "Alarte Ascendere"

The wand of Fred and George flew to the hand of Stefan who grabbed both of them, and then Fred got hit by a light on the chest that sent him flying to the roof and then dropping from there hitting his twin brother George on the process as he landed on the back of him.

Stefan started walking to the Weasley Twins, and when he was one meter away from them he heard a voice saying "Petrificus Totalus" Stefan didn't even bother to look as he waved his wand and a bolt of black lightning intercept the spell and started pushing the other spell till it hit the responsible of the spell on the chest.

"Ron" said Harry as he looked as Ron was hit by the black lightning and soon blisters started covering his body, and some of them started to bleed pus out of them while Ron was moaning from the pain of the blisters.

"Now... What should I do with both of you, which spell should I use on you?" said Stefan as he pointed his wand at Fred and George who were groaning in pain while they were on the floor.

"Stop it, please Stefan" said Hermione as she walked quickly to him and grabbed his arm.

Mary and the girls walked to Stefan, with excited faces.

"Hermione, they deserved this, they said Mary was a thief, and the Weasley boy, tried to do something to her, stop protecting them" said Daphne with an annoyed face.

"Mary, you decide" said Stefan with a calm voice as he looked at her.

Hermione turned her head and pleaded with her eyes to Mary, Mary sighed and said "Let's leave"

"Potter, tell the Weasley brothers that they owe Hermione... if not they would be worse... and next time they insult Mary or any of my people, there will be consequences" said Stefan with a calm face.

Then footsteps were heard from the outside of the room.

"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner."

It was Filch speaking to Mrs. Norris, "Huh, what a good timing" thought Stefan.

Everyone was terrified not knowing what to do, Daphne, Tracey, and Hermione turned their head to look at Stefan who had a calm face, he signaled them to follow him while leaving to their luck at Harry, Fred, George, and Ron, they walked silently toward the door, away from Filch's voice.

"Caught you..." they heard Filch saying to Potter and the Weasleys.

"Mrs. Norris go and find the others that slipped out of our hands, go my dear" said the voice of Filch.

"They're in here somewhere," they heard him mutter, "probably hiding."

"This way" Stefan whispered to the others, as they walked to a long gallery full of suits of armor. They could hear Mrs. Norris getting nearer

Stefan waved his wand and blocked the entrance with a black mist, they could see the shadow of Mrs. Norris from the other side of the mist.

Daphne, Tracey and Mary sighed, while Mary was laughing "Hahaha that was fun, and Potter and the Weasleys are in more trouble, let's go"

Stefan nodded as he started walking, and everyone started to follow him, but they noticed Hermione wasn't moving "Hey, Hermione move" said Mary with a soft voice.

"I can't go back to my common room... the entrance to the common room it's closed at this hour... what do I do now ?" said Hermione while looking at Mary and then at Stefan.

"It's fine, come to our common room, and sleep in our dormitories no one is going to tell" said Mary with a smile on her face.

"Actually she can't come to our dormitories... remember Pansy Parkinson is in our room, the moment Hermione enters the room she will go to a prefect or to Snape..." said Daphne with a pondering face.

"What can I do... I can't just wait for my common room to unlock in the morning, can I ? said Hermione with a troubled face.

"Hmmm, there's another way but I'm not sure if you want... and Stefan maybe will not like it..." said Mary with a hesitating face.

"Whatever is the option lets go... I don't want to be caught by Mrs. Norris or Filch..." said Hermione as she remembered Mrs. Norris and Filch.

"Ok..." said Mary with a hesitating voice as she looked at Stefan but she noticed he was not paying them attention.

They started to walk in direction of their common room, and 15 minutes later they entered, Hermione was looking curiously at the common room as she noticed this common room was better than the one of Gryffindor.

They started to walk to their dormitories, Stefan said goodnight to their girls and entered the boy's dormitories.

Daphne and Tracey entered the girl's dormitories but as Hermione was about to enter Mary got in front of her with an apologetic face and said "You cant enter as Daphne said, Pansy is inside and at the moment she sees you, she will tell the prefect"

"Then what was the other option you were talking about?, are you going to cast a spell on her or am I going to sleep in the common room?" said Hermione as she looked at the furniture at the common room and thought actually it was a solution.

"Hmm no, the prefect or a student could actually see you there... you will have to sleep with Stefan in his bedroom, he has a bedroom for himself..." said Mary with a pained expression as she thought "Young Master might get angry tonight... he didn't pay attention when I suggested the solution...and I will not be able to sleep with him today...."

"What!... no no no no... I can't actually sleep with Stefan..." said Hermione as she started to walk to the entrance to the common room of Slytherin.

"Think about it carefully Hermione... It's just a night.. and he is not going to do anything to you... there is plenty of space inside of the bedroom for you to sleep" said Mary while convincing Hermione.

Hermione's face turned red as she thought about sleeping with Stefan in the same bedroom and finally accepted to sleep in the same bedroom as Mary told her that if she got out of the common room and Filch and Mrs. Norris caught her she will be in a lot of troubles.

Mary and Hermione walked into the dormitories of the boys and walked quietly to the bedroom of Stefan who was at the end of the hall, they got in front of a door that had a silver plaque that spelled "Stefan Morningstar"

"Goodnight Hermione" said Mary with a pained expression as she walked away while looking at the door of the bedroom of Stefan.
