章 9: Needles, Halloween and An Unnecessary Troll
With the three entering class, Louis being invisible as always, they noticed the cat that was perched on top of the teachers desk.
" Hey you two, " Louis called out lowly, catching their attention as they turned back to face him, " Guess who's on the table? " He asked with a smirk pointing to the cat perched on the desk.
Richard soon caught on not long after, " No way! I thought she would be an eagle! But it does seem to suit her. " Richard says with slight disappointment.
Annie caught on and knowing who it was, gave the Professor-turned-cat a small bow before heading to their desk at the back of the class.
" I don't get why you'd give her a bow, all it'll do is attract more unneeded attention combined with what we already have. " Louis states knowing how well known their family name is and what it can do by itself.
" He is right you know, it is certainly lucky that no teacher has yet to notice the bows you give - no offence - but you know how much we hate Arse kissers. " Knowing that they mean well, Annie nods her head in understanding and sighs in defeat.
As if by chance, the last two students to enter just happened to be Harry, and Ron. ' They seriously need to work on their time management ' Louis remarked " Good, professor McGonagall isn't here yet. " Ron exhaled in relief.
' Hah. you thought blabber mouth. ' Just as Ron said those words, the cat on the desk jumped off and began shifting in the air. The cat was professor McGonagall. " That boy needs to control his mouth in the future. " Richard states, the other two nod in agreement.
" Now children, we'll be turning a piece of wood, into a needle. " ' Well isn't that lovely ' " Let us begin. " The class was relatively fine, until sounds of grunts and groans in frustration filled the room not long after.
" This is ridiculous! Why can't this piece of wood turn into a needle! " One of the Gryffindor students exclaimed in frustration and started pointing his wand more aggressively.
Annie and Richard had added fine details with intricate designs on their needles. Following after, Louis was already finished - adding a few things here and there - and was done in a matter of seconds.
" Louie...Are you kidding me? " Richard whisper yells, " Whatever do you mean dear Richie? " Louis asks in fake sweetness to his cousin.
" What is so important that I had to get my reading time interrupted? I just got to the good part as well. " A gulp could be heard in the loud classroom.
" What Richie wants to say, is that the point of a school existing, is to socialize with others, make new friends and learn together. " Annie speaks for Richard.
" Yes, I am aware of that, it was the purpose mother and father sent me here happily. " She nods her head in response, " but I have already accomplished all that is needed. I've socialized and made new friends haven't I? "
Stumped at his way of thinking, both can only shake their heads in disappointment, " Their meant to be people Louie, not animals or creatures of the like. People, do you understand? " Richard says trying to get the point across.
" Yes I get the point. But I don't really want to make friends with people capable of backstabbing, killing mercilessly and plotting revenge against each other without a second thought. "
" He technically does have a point Richie. " Annie states in agreement.
" Oh you two are hopeless! " Richard concludes as he throws his arms into the air.
Classes came and went. Days passed and soon Halloween had fallen into play.
Louis spent his free time in the forbidden forest exploring the areas nearby with the creatures and animals.
He also spent most mornings reading books from the library in the suitcase when he wanted peace and quiet. Richard followed him to the forest on most days, taking down notes for his researches and studies.
Annie spent her time in the school library when she had nothing better to do, or request for one of the centaurs Louis made friends with for a sword fight when she found herself slacking in her training.
In the dining hall, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin all sat in their seats. While the celebrations took place, with ghosts and the like, flying around and distracting kids by making noises. They soon left not long after for they had a different agenda to attend too.
" Your not allowed to go. " Richard says to Louis, knowing what he was thinking.
" Why not? It's not like I'm going to curse them and send them down below when I've become bored of them. "
Annie shakes her head at his words, " The problem is, is that you are *thinking* of going to a place your not allowed to. What do you think Aunt Nat will do when she finds out? " The three shivered at the thought.
' Maybe she's right....After all, the last time mom went mad, was when father and I visited the dragon lands without her knowing, ' he shivers violently at the horror he remembered, ' I think I'm good. '
Halfway through he meal, the doors to the dining room burst open unexpectedly. Professor Quirrell, the DADA teacher, came running into through the hall screaming out unrecognisable words hysterically.
Once Dumbledore calmed the frantic person down a couple of notches, he had regained the ability to speak fluent words once again. " T-T-troll, T-troll in the dungeons! Just thought you'd want to know." He finally managed to say before passing out.
" Wow, our defense against the dark arts professor has come screaming and running into the corridor about a troll, he could actually defeat. Whatever will we do? Let's all just stay in our seats like sitting ducks and wait for the troll to enter the dining hall and eat us all. "
Louis mumbles under his breath, only to be heard by Richard and Annie only for them to laugh quietly at his words - and then smack him for being rude.
The students were to be brought back to their common rooms by their house's prefects as ordered by Dumbledore.
As the Gryffindor students were being led out, Louis caught sight of Ron and Harry breaking off from the group, heading to the direction the girls bathroom by chance.
" Hey Richie, Ann, I'm going to go an a little adventure by myself, if you don't mind. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. " With that, he turned invisible and followed the two boys, leaving Annie and Richard behind.
" I'll bet five sickles he gets assistance from Bandit on the off chance he meets the troll, " Annie bets. " Your on. " Richard proclaims to his cousin.
While his two cousins were betting on Louis, the boy himself was still following Golden boy and red head who were having worried looks on their faces.
' If the girl isn't with them, they should be looking for her. That, or their looking for the troll for some weird reason. ' Louis mentally states as he watches the boys enter the girls bathroom. " Yup, looking for the girl it is. " Thus, he follows suit.
The sight he was greeted with in the toilet, was one that would be burned into his eyeballs for months.
The troll smelled as if it had not washed itself for years, with flies circling around its head. It's teeth were a horrifying shade of yellow. The colour of the skin looked a shade of green that one had on their face before puking.
' I'm going to need serious help from mom after this year ends. ' Louis mentally notes, as he watches the three students ' face ' the troll with bravery. ' Yah...There is no way they are going to get out of here without the bathroom caving in on them. '
' Wingardium Leviosa ' he points his wand at a sink that was destroyed by the troll earlier, and flings it to its head. The sink smashed into pieces the moment it collided with the trolls head.
Seeming unfazed by the object, the troll turned around looking for the what threw the sink. " Run you idiots! " Louis whisper yells to the trio, seemingly dumbfounded by what they just witnessed.
Shaking themselves out of their stupor, they proceed to run out of the bathroom and into the hallways, still confused as to what had happened while Louis hangs back in the bathroom.
" Okay....Now all that's left to do is deal with this oaf. " Louis says, lifting his wand up, he casts his spell, ' Destructo Explono ' the rags that the troll wears, which wand is directed at, explodes. Which leaves the troll, to scream in agony from the amount of damage it took.
" I am so going to regret this. Bandit? Mind helping me out for a midge? " He asks his niffler hidden in the pockets of his robe.
Peaking out of his robes left pocket, the niffler appears and looks at Louis for what to do. " Mind passing the vile in the pocket your in? " He asks politely.
Bandit understanding what's asked of him heads back into the pocket, and shortly reappears with a tear shaped vial in his hands and holds it up to Louis. Taking the vial, he pops off the cork from it after shaking it.
" Thanks bandit, I'll have thank you properly later once this is over. " He expresses while throwing the vial towards the troll while it's still in pain.
As the vial shatters upon impact, the liquid coats the troll completely and the troll itself disappears a few seconds after.
With the troll out of the girls bathroom, Louis fixes the bathroom back to its original state before apparating to where the troll is currently located.
' Thank goodness I keep my projects with me for emergency cases. That teleportation potion me and Richie made sure is effective.
And that's considering all that's needed for it to activate is by thinking of the location one wants the target to appear while shaking it is really useful. I'll need to stock up more if that is the case. Now off to the forbidden forest. '
As soon as he apparates to the forbidden forest, Dumbledore and the professors appear in the hallway where the girls bathroom is located, and is currently where the trio is - still dumbfounded as to what had happened.
" Mr. Potter, Ms. Granger, and Mr. Weasely! Why are you not in the Gryffindor common room with the rest of the students and here where the troll is nearby!? " Professor McGonagall exclaims to the three in shock.
While the three try their best to explain their unforeseen circumstance to the worried professors - excluding Professor Snape - Louis was with the troll in the forbidden forest with his forest friends around him.
" Now, I doubt the troll can tell us who released it, but do you mind if I tested something out? " Louis asks the centaurs nearby.
" We don't see why not Louis, but we do request you put a barrier around the area, the stars are not agreeable with the events that have occurred today. " The leader of the group says.
