What the heck is Harry Potter doing here?
" Ah, Hello Ernie, Susan and Ronald." Hannah greeted us smiling. while that is happening, I noticed how Harry Potter slightly raised his eyebrow. "Ronald?" He questioned. Curiosity could be heard through his voice.
" So... What are you doing here? " I decided to ask.
" I only happened to pass by..." He said, looking at us with his emerald green eyes. Ernie slowly approached Harry and grinned. " Can I ask a question? "
" Sure."
" Anyway, I am Ernie McMillan. " Harry Nodded. ".. There was a Rumor that since you were a Slytherin... Are you gonna become the wanna be Next Dark Lord?... You know since because... " Harry Potter face complexion darkened. Everyone stared at Ernie. " Why are you looking at me like that? "
I sighed and turned to look at Harry. " umm.. Since you said earlier that you happened to be passing by... You can go now. " At this, Susan and the others stared at me. As if their eyes were saying 'this is Harry Potter! Why are you being so rude?!' look. Well this is uncomfortable and I have no plan on getting close to Harry Potter. This is Harry Potter that I am currently talking right now. The Supposed friend of Ronald Weasley but I have no plan of being dragged into his troubles. "... Don't mind what Ernie have said." I awkwardly added.
Harry nodded and his lips quirked up into a smile. " Then, please excuse me. I wouldn't bother you with your..." He trailed off, green eyes glinting in amusement. ".. Picnic. " He started to leave, Black robes fluttering until his silhouette vanish into the distance.
That was really strange. I thought that Harry Potter was a loner from what I observe from the table. How come he look so mysterious but a decent conversationalist? and did he just pull off a Snape? (with his robes fluttering? ) After a few moments, the hufflepuff first years have pulled themselves. Hannah and Justin preparing the basket and the cloth. After the strange and awkward meeting of Harry Potter, our picnic went normally.
..........
No matter how many times I look, I would never get used at looking the Hogwarts Hall. Not just the Hall, but everything that has to do with Hogwarts and Harry Potter. It was also strange from the things that I was supposed to know.
Weeks pass and the Night of October 31 finally came. Hallow's Eve, as the Wizarding World has called it. Students were chatting, lively and bustling. Hogwarts halls were decorated with Floating Pumpkin lanterns and other Halloween decorations. Their Candies, Blood Pops and other dubious types of sweets are also in the season. It was everyone's favorite sweets for today and probably tomorrow.
On the Hufflepuff table, Justin were describing his previous Halloween muggle days to Ernie, Susan and Hannah. I always wonder how did he manage to fit well in this environment since he was a muggle born. He was lucky that Ernie is different from other Purebloods. Hannah's family on the other hand was in the former sacred 28 list and she was a Half blood. Susan's Aunt was Amelia Bones who was the Head of DMLE. Justin was very lucky that he have friends like them. I think, I am also lucky that i have them.
In the Ravenclaws, The Students were eating while some are talking about interesting facts and theories about the Halloween. Neville and Hermione are beside each other eating and occasionally talking to one of the Patil twins and Lavender Brown. Other than each other, looks like they have other friends that they can talk to.
On the Slytherin– One of the Door of the Hogwarts Hall has suddenly opened with a Bang. There stood, Professor Quirrel that look so 'Horrified' and in the state of 'Panic'. All of the Students and Professors have turned to look at him.
" TR- TROLL!! Th- There's T-tr- TROLL in the DUNGEONS! " After saying those words Professor Quirrel 'fainted'. The Students broke out of Commotion and Professor Dumbledore quickly gathered everyone's attention. He ordered the Hufflepuff, Ravenclaws and Gryffindor Prefects to guide the Students in returning to the Common Rooms and Dorms. The Slytherin were an exception since their common room is located in the Dungeons.
" Severus, Minerva, could you kindly roamed the Halls? Make sure that everyone is here and put out the Troll." Professor Dumbledore ordered Hagrid to Bring Professor Quirrel to the Clinic with Madam Poppy Pomfrey following him. As I look at the Slytherin Table, I notice that one Harry Potter is missing. Of course this detail didn't escape from the eyes of Professors and the Head of Slytherin House.
" Severus, Minerva, can you also please find Mr. Potter? "
As the Prefects started ushering us to our own common rooms, I saw Professor Snape made a displeased face at the mention of Harry Potter. Looks like being in the Slytherin, hasn't endeared Harry to the Professor. Professor Snape still hated and dislike him.
" Come on, Weasley don't just stand there and follow your friends." The Hufflepuff Prefect told me. I nodded and walk towards Ernie and the Others.
" Ronald, I didn't manage to look for you earlier. Anyway, do you think that the Professor's will defeat the Troll? " Ernie asked.
" well... We would learn the unfolding events right now, tomorrow."
Harry would still defeat the Troll even without Ron who was his friend and Hermione that he need to save in the Girl's Bathroom.
...........
" It's Horrible!! The troll's head is decapitated! It was said that there are several lacerations, cuts and burns from it's corpse. The Older students have said that it looks so disgusting!! " Hannah said in between her breaths.
" Could we not Talk about it in the Morning? " Justin asked and Hannah apologized. I sighed and sent Justin a thankful glance. I wouldn't have Appétite to eat if Hannah keep describing the gruesome description of the Troll's tragic ending. On the night of Hallow's eve, Professor Minerva and Professor Snape didn't manage to find the trace of the Troll in the Dungeons or Halls. But before the lessons have started, the older students has suddenly found the troll's corpse in the 2nd floor corridors.
Everyone was wondering what happened and Student's started thinking of different conspiracy ideas and theories. Through some student's were wondering why are the Slytherin table was throwing Harry Potter suspicious glances. Within the vicinity of his seat, there were vacant chairs. They were avoiding him other than Draco who was currently in his 'Fanboy' and 'Chatterbox' Mode. Their 'Culprit' on the other hand was calmly eating his breakfast.
While I am currently looking at the Slytherin table, it also happened that Harry was looking at the Hufflepuff table. It was maybe some coincidence that he was specifically looking at my direction, and happened to move his lips silently mouthing his words and smiled, before returning on eating his breakfast.
It was just a coincidence... and I also didn't understand what he said. I don't have lip reading skills.
{ System can I ask what did Harry Potter said? }
[ Since it was amusing, I would gladly do you a favor. ]
{Thanks.}
I was thankful that the system is still cooperative and willing to listen to me in some ways.
[ Here is the silent words that Harry Potter said..]
I smiled when I heard the familiar sound of the System.
[ It's not your turn yet. Wait Until the Six Year.]
I think that the System got the wrong translation.
[ Are you satisfied with the translation.]
{System, you are clearly toying with me!!}
[Pathetic.]
There's no way that those ominous words is what Harry Potter have said. Those words was also directed to someone and it can't be me. I can't also understand it.
