Chapter 4
A few months had passed since the 3rd floor incident and since then nothing major had happened with the friends. On this day Angelica sat next to Draco who still called her Angel as a nickname which only annoyed her a little now as she had gotten accustomed to it. They sat in charms class with Professor Flitwick. The small teacher was standing on a bunch of books with his wand out looking over the class.
"One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers?" Hermione raised her feather. "Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone." Every then said Swish and Flick in unison. "Good. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then." Everyone then started trying to do the spell Draco trying as well.
"Wingardium Levio-saaa." The spell however did not work Angelic chuckled and said.
"You need some help there Draco?" She scoffed.
"No, I don't need help" He looked down at the feather before looking back at her. "Yes, please" Angelica smiled before showing him the movements and before long they had moved both of their feathers subtly around the desk unlike Hermione who had decided to make hers fly up the ceiling.
"Oh, well done! See here, everyone! Ms. Granger's done it! Oh, splendid!" The Professor praised Hermione and even Angelica felt proud of her when suddenly an explosion made everyone jump only to notice Seamus had blown up his feather.
"Um, Draco can I have my hand back?" Angelica asked smiling looking down Draco noticed his hand holding her hand protectively from the explosion jolted his hand back blushing as Angelic laughed to herself. After the class Angelica walked with Hermione.
"Hermione, that was amazing! I wish I knew half as much as you do" Hermione smiled kindly at her.
"Thank you, Ella but don't forget your definitely leaps and bounds ahead of me in potions especially in the practical area" They brought themselves to hear Ron talking in the group of friends.
"It's Leviosa, not Leviosa. Honestly, she's a nightmare. No wonder she hasn't got any friends!" Angelica saw tears in Hermione's eyes as she went to place a hand on her shoulder Hermione ran past the group of boys.
"Hermione, wait!" As Angelica ran just past the boys she heard Harry say.
"I think she heard you." Angelica turned to the boys glaring daggers at them making them freeze in their place.
"You're an idiot Ronald Weasley!" Angelica snapped before leaving but not before smacking Ron on the back of the head. Angelica had found Hermione in the girl's bathroom in a stall which was locked she heard crying coming from inside. Angelica knocked gently on the door. "'Minoe? Do you want to talk about it?" She heard sniffles before the door slightly opened allowing Angelica to enter the stall shutting it behind her. Angelica pulled Hermione into a tight hug. "You shouldn't let Ron get to you, he's doesn't know what he's on about" Hermione was trying not to cry but failing.
"But what if he is right? Do I really not have any friends?" Angelica made Hermione look at her before saying.
"Of course, you have friends, you defiantly have me as a friend and I'm sure Harry will be your friend otherwise I'll have to hex him" This made Hermione chuckle wiping away her tears. "Come on, let's go I think the feast has started if you want you can come and sit with my table and I'll introduce you to my house" Hermione smiled and nodded as they left Hermione wiped the last of the tears but they boy stopped when they see a giant troll standing in front of them. Angelica places her arm in front of Hermione to protect her as they back away hiding in the stall and duck just as the toll smashes the stall making chunks of wood land on top of them.
"Hermione, Angelica, move!" They hear Harry yell just as they go the troll smashes the remaining stalls.
"Help! Help!" Hermione screams as Angelica places herself in front of her when the troll raised his club to hit Angelica the boys started throwing wood pieces at the troll.
"Hey, pea brain!" Ron yelled before throwing the wood which hit the troll on the head. Angelica saw this opportunity and grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her under the sinks for shelter. However, the troll spotted the two girls and raises it club to kill them it hits the wrong sink barley missing them. Harry gets out his wand and run forward and grabs the troll's club being lifted he lands on the troll's head making him hold on for dear life eventually he stabs his wand in the troll's nose. This tick of the troll making it grab Harry and holds him by one leg upside down and gets ready to hit him. Harry pulls himself up and down as the troll tries to hit him again.
"Do something!" Another swipe.
"What?" And another one.
"Anything! Hurry up!" Ron grabs his wand and from under the sink Hermione waves her hand walking it through with him.
"Swish and flick!"
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Just as Ron flicks his wand the club is lifted out of the troll's hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks up very confused just as the club comes crashing back down. The troll drops Harry who crawls away and stands up as it passes out on the floor. Angelica helps pull Hermione out from under the sink.
"Is it...dead?" Hermione asks tentatively.
"I don't think so. Just knocked out." Harry answers he then grabs his wand, which is now covered in snot making Angelica gag at the sight. "Ew. Troll bogies." Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell came rushing and upon seeing the sight in front of them made them all gasp.
"Oh! Oh, my goodness! E-Explain yourselves, both of you!" She says turning on Harry and Ron"
"Well, what it is..." Both Harry and Ron try to explain themselves when Hermione jumped in.
"It's my fault, Professor McGonagall." This made everyone in the room gape at her.
"Ms. Granger?" Asks McGonagall in shock.
"I went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry, Ron and Angelica hadn't come and found me...I'd probably be dead."
"Be that as it may. It was an extremely foolish thing to do." Harry then looked down at Snape's leg which now had a large cut on its Snape noticed Harry looking a covered it up, glaring at Harry. "I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part, Ms. Granger. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. As for you two gentlemen and you miss 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." With that said Snape then noticed Angelica and that her eyes with filling with a bit more red in colour as the smell of human blood hit her nose Snape turned to McGonagall who nodded turning to Angelica. "Miss Lupin, you are needed by Professor Snape follow him then go back to your common room" Angelica knew what this was about because she had been in the bathroom she had missed the feast meaning she had missed her meal and she was already weaker than a normal vampire because of her veggie diet but it meant two things she wouldn't heal as quickly but she would also get bloodlust quicker. She had only read about bloodlust before and she never wanted to have that, so she followed the Potions Professor downstairs where he grabbed her, her meal and placed it in front of her which she drank from.
"So, would you care to tell me the truth of why you were in the bathroom?" Angelica sighed and looked down.
"Harry and Ron really did save Hermione but they were also saving me. I was in there before hand comforting Hermione because she had been upset" Snape sighed.
"Your defiantly like your mother putting yourself at risk if a friend is involved"
"Could you tell me more about her?" Snape looked at her almost like he was going to tell her but shuck his head.
"Maybe another night. Now head off back to your dorm" On the way to her dorm she felt someone grab her hand making her jump but she calmed down when she saw it was Draco.
"Is it true that you fought a troll?" He asked worriedly.
"Well less so fought more coward at the sight of it"
"Are you okay?" Angelica smiled and nodded.
"Yeah I'm just a bit shaken really" Draco looked around quickly making sure no one was around before he hugged her tightly surprising her and said.
"I'm glad you're okay" He then let her go and ran away towards him dorm.
