[Outside in the courtyard, day time. Oliver and Harry appear, carrying a trunk. They put it down.]
Marlene stares at the screen in amusement then whispers to herself, "I'm a lesbian. I'm a lesbian."
Dorcas and Mary shake their head at their friend.
"He's quite handsome isn't he?" Natalie smirked causing most girls in the great hall to agree.
Avery and Amara giggle, catching peoples attention.
Natalie turns to her best friend's daughter, "Did either of you date him?!"
"Avery had him wrapped around her finger third year." Amara chuckled out, Harry rolls his eyes in annoyance.
"Yeah, and Baby Potter didn't like that." Fred teased.
"He didn't like that at all. But Woods was not the one he needed to worry about." George added. Avery kicked the two boys in their shins to shut up.
Oliver: Quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each time has seven players, 3 chasers, 2 beaters, 1 keeper and a seeker. That's you. There are three kinds of balls. [picks up a red one] This one's called the Quaffle. Now, the chasers handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops. [Points to the hoops in the Quidditch pitch in the distance.] The keeper, that's me, defends the hoops. [throws ball to Harry.] With me so far?
Harry: [throws back] I think so. What are those? [points to two squirming chained down balls.]
Oliver: You better take this. [hands Harry a small bat. He bends down and releases one ball. With an angry growl, it flies off into the air. The two boys watch it.] Careful now, it's comin' back. [The balls comes whizzing down, and Harry cracks at it with the bat. The ball soars off through a statue, surprisingly without damaging it.]
The Gryffindor captain gaped and looked to Harry, "Please tell me with you on the team we beat Slytherin, at least once?!"
Harry smirks, "Just watch the movies, mate."
Eh, not bad, Potter, you'd make a fair beater... Uh-oh. [The ball zooms down, and Oliver grabs it, wriggling to get it back in the box. He succeeds and is out of breath.]
Harry: What is that?
Oliver: Bludger. Nasty little buggers. But you are the seeker, and the only thing I want you to worry about is this... the Golden Snitch. [hands Harry a walnut sized golden ball.]
Harry: I like this ball.
The dynamic duo chuckles, "That's what she said."
Fred and George groan, "You beat us by two seconds!"
James and Sirius huff, "Same!"
Oliver: Ah, you like it now. Just wait. It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see.
Harry: What do I do with it?
Oliver: You catch it... before the other team's seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this, Potter, and we win.
[The ball flutters out two delicate wings and jumps into the air. Harry keeps an eye on it.]
Lily looks to her son smiling, "You're a natural, Harry."
Harry: Whoa.
[In Professor Flitwick's class. Filtwick is very short, and is standing on a bunch of books to make up for his stature and to see his class.]
Flitwick: One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers? [Hermione raises hers.] Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone.
All (including Flitwick): The swish and flick.
Flitwick: Good. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then.
[The class begin to enunciate and doing the movements on their feathers]
Draco: Wingardium Levio-saaa. [Jasper & Avery sitting behind him snickers at his pronunciation.]
Draco playfully glares at his friend and cousin, who are snickering just like their younger selves.
Ron: Wingardrium Leviosar! [he waves his wand really fast numerous times. Hermione stops him.]
Hermione: Stop, stop, stop. You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's Levi-o-sa, not Leviosar.
Ron: You do it then if you're so clever. Go on, go on.
Molly glared to her son, "Ronald, just listen!" He slouched in his seat, knowing he is about to be scolded again.
[Hermione straightens up and swishes her wand.]
Hermione: Wingardium Leviosa. [The feather glows and lifts up.]
Flitwick: Oh, well done! See here, everyone! Ms. Granger's done it! Oh, splendid!
[Ron puts his head on his books dejectedly. Seamus begins swishing at his feather.]
Seamus: Wingard Levosa.
Flitwick: Well done, dear.
[An almighty explosion flashes. Flitwick gasps, as Ron and Hermione turn to the source of the explosion]
Flitwick: Whooaaa! Ooh.
[We see that Seamus is charred again with his feather, now smoldering to ashes.]
The great hall burst into laughter.
Harry: I think we're going to need another feather over here, Professor. [Jasper and Avery are shown crying laughing, almost falling out their seats.]
Remus huffed, "You two do not need to sit next to each other anymore."
[Neville, Jasper, Harry, Ron and Seamus are walking through a courtyard with other students all around.]
Ron: [mimicking Hermione] It's Levioooosa, not Leviosaaaar. [normal voice] She's a nightmare, honestly. No wonder she hasn't got any friends!
"RONALD WEASLEY!! How dare you make fun of her?! She was just trying to help you!" Molly yelled.
Hermione spoke up for Ron, "It's ok Mrs. Weasley, he apologized. And as you can see, everything worked out for the better." She held his hand and smiled, causing him to relax a little bit and return the smile.
"This reminded me of his howler." Blaise joked.
[Hermione rushes past Ron, hugging her books and sniffling in tears.]
Harry: I think she heard you.
[Hermione disappears into the crowd, deeply hurt by Ron's words. Avery rushes up to the boys and smacks Ron on the head, stopping the group of boys in their tracks.]
Avery: For one Ronald, she was actually being a hood person and helping you out. Anyone else would have let you suffered. And two, we happen to be her friends [she gestures between herself and Amara and Ariel. She then turns to Jasper] And you also consider her your friend so why would you let him say these foul things?!
Hermione looks to the girl she calls her sister teary-eyed, "Thank you, Avery."
Avery smiles and then squeezes her hand in response.
"I love our daughter, Moony." Jasmine stated at her daughter in awe.
"I do too." He kisses his girlfriend's temple.
Jasper: You didn't even give me the bloody chance to defend her Moon!
Avery: [rolls her eyes and faces her friends] I'm going to go check on her, save me a seat at the feast. [She turns back to the boys and huffs than hurry afters Hermione.]
Ariel: You guys done pissed her off.
Amara: And now we have to cheer her up. [The pair shakes their heads and head to the great hall.]
[That Halloween night, the great hall has floating Jack O'Lanterns in place of the candles. Harry notices an empty spot on the bench.]
Harry: Where's Hermione?
Neville: Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon...crying. Avery hasn't left her.
[Harry & Jasper glances at Ron with a disapproving look on his face; Ron shrugs. Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes running into the Great Hall in panic.]
Quirrell: TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!! [Dumbledore rises from his seat in concern. Everyone look at Quirrell and he stops and there is utter silence.] Thought you ought to know.
"Where does Dumbledore find these so-called professors?" Jasmine asked.
"He pulls them out his ass." Ariel states.
[He passes out. The room is silent, and then everyone freaks out, screaming and running.]
Dumbledore: SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE! [Everyone stops and calms down.] Everyone will please, not panic. Now, Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.
Narcissia and Amelia shouted, " But the Slytherin/ Hufflepuff common room is in the dungeons!"
"Don't worry, mum. There's another way into the common rooms." Draco reassured his mom.
"Yeah, all of the common rooms have more than one entrance." Jasper stated.
Avery nodded and said, "And classrooms along with exits." The Marauders smirk at the next generation.
Girl: Hufflepuff, this way!
Boy: Stay together!
[Snape looks aghast, and he walks out through a doorway. A bit later, Percy is leading the house down a corridor.]
Percy: Gryffindors, keep up please. And stay alert!
Harry: How could a troll get in?
Ron: Not by itself. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes. [Suddenly, Harry stops and pulls Ron aside.] What?
Harry: Hermione! She doesn't know!
Jasper: Oi, Avery is still with her! [Harry's eyes grew even more.]
Theo chuckles, "That's all you had to say to make him worry." his friends chuckles at their simp of a friend.
[The three separate themselves from the crowd. They run down corridors. They start running down a hall when they stop, because there is a grunting noise and a large shadow on the wall.]
Ron: I think the troll's left the dungeon!
"Good observation." Sirius joked.
Jasper: Good observation, Ronald. [he gritted through his teeth sarcastically.]
[Harry pulls Ron & Jasper into a doorway, they peer out to see a large, ugly troll thunks by into a room.]
Harry: It's going into the Girl's Bathroom!
[In the bathroom, Avery is seen outside a stall]
Avery: [sighs] Mione, don't listen to Ronald. You have friends. Amara, Ariel, and me and of course. I mean, I'm missing my first Halloween feast at Hogwarts just to make sure you're okay. If that doesn't say we're friends, then I don't know what does.
The present girls nod their head in agreement.
[Hermione emerges from a stall, wiping her eyes, then hugs Avery. She stops when she sees something. The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up, into the stall pulling Avery along, just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. Hermione screams while Avery yelled out a string of curse words. Harry, Jasper, and Ron come bursting in.]
People in the great hall begin to shout and scream in worry for the students.
"Do they not know we're alive and sitting right here?" Avery muttered.
Harry: Avery! Hermione, move!
[The troll smashes the remaining stalls.]
Avery: Why wouldn't I, Potter?!
Hermione: Help! Help! [The boys start throwing wood pieces at the troll.]
Ron: Hey, pea brain! [Ron throws wood and hits the troll on the head. Hermione escapes from the stalls to under a sink as Avery goes out the other side by Ron and Jasper, but the troll sees Hermione and goes to smash her. It cracks the sink and barely misses Hermione. Harry cringes.]
Hermione: Ahhh! Help!
[Harry gets out his wand. He runs forward and grabs the troll's club, and is lifted up.]
Harry: Whoa! [He lands on the troll's shoulders, and is hurled around, back and forth.]
Lily gasped and holds onto James, "Oi, I can't watch!" She hides her face in his chest.
"They're not even my children, and I'm growing grey hairs watching this." Evan groans.
[Harry's wand shoots up the troll's nose. The troll groans in disgust.]
Ron: Ew!
The hall groans in disgust. Lily looks to James, "Your genes are the reason for all of this."
"Oi! Don't blame the entire bloodline because of James." Monty retorted.
Jasper: What was that supposed to do? [muttered in confusion.]
[Ron and Hermione were disgusted by Harry's wand in the troll's nose. The troll snorts, and whips around.]
Harry: Whoa, whoa whoa!
[The troll gets Harry off its shoulders and is holding him by one leg, upside down.]
Harry: Do something!
[It gears up its club and swipes at Harry. He pulls himself up, then down.]
Ron: What?!
Harry: Anything! [the troll swipes at Harry again] Hurry up!
[Ron grabs his wand. Under the sink, Hermione waves her hand.]
Hermione: Swish and flick!
Ron: [correctly punctuating the words] Wingardium Leviosa! [Flick. The club is lifted out of the troll's hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks hat his hand and opens it, then looks up, confused, just as the club comes crashing back down.] Cool. [It hits the troll's head that hard and the troll wavers, then drops Harry, who crawls away, and slowly comes crashing down, knocked out. Hermione approaches carefully.]
The hall erupts in applause.
Hermione: Is it...dead?
Avery: I don't think so. Just knocked out.
Harry: [He grabs his wand...which is covered in mucus.] Ugh! Troll bogies.
[Harry wipes his wand on his robes. Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell come rushing in. They all gasp at the knocked out troll.]
Avery & Jasper: Shit.
McGonagall: Oh! Oh, my goodness! E-Explain yourselves, both of you!
Ron and Harry: Well, what it is...
Jasper: See, what happened was...
Hermione: It's my fault, Professor McGonagall. [The teachers, her friends look at her.]
"I'm sorry, what now?" Bellatrix asked confused.
McGonagall: Miss Granger?
Hermione: I went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. Avery tried to stop me, if Harry, Jasper, and Ron hadn't come and found me...I'd probably be dead.
McGonagall: Be that as it may be...it was an extremely foolish thing to do. [Harry notices Snape's leg, which has the trousers' leg torn and a large cut on it. Snape notices and covers it up, glaring at Harry.] I would have expected more rational behavior on your part, Miss Granger. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. [she turns to Harry, Jasper, and Ron] As for you three gentlemen I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points...will be awarded to each of you. [Harry and Ron grin at each other] For sheer dumb luck.
[Snape and McGonagall leave the bathroom]
Quirrell: Perhaps you ought to go...M-might wake up...heh. [The students exit the bathroom. Quirrell looks at the unconscious troll. The troll growls, seemingly going to wake up.] Ahh! Hehe....
"Is it just me, or did he look a little annoyed?" Regulus asked aloud, some people muttered in agreement.
[They are walking back to the Gryffindor Common Room through the corridor.]
Harry: [to Hermione] Good for you to get us out of trouble like that.
Ron: Mind you, I mean, we did save her life.
Jasper: Mind you, she didn't need saving if you hadn't insulted her.
Avery: And Mind you, you didn't need to insult her if you would've just listened to her advice.
"You tell him my babies!" Jasmine yells.
[Hermione looks at Ron.]
Ron: What are friends for? [The pair smiles at each other.]
Avery: That's how people become friends now? [she tilts her head in confusion then shrugs it off] Whatever, goodnight guys. Night Atlas.
Jasper: Night Moon. [They did their handshake and Avery turns to leave until Hermione stops her.]
Hermione: Wait! [She walks up to her and hugs her again] Thank you again, Aves.
Avery: [chuckles noticing the nickname] No problem, Mione.
Some people awe at the girls' friendship.
Harry: So you call her by her first name and she gets a nickname, while I'm stuck on last name basis?
Avery: [smirks at his whiny face, then kisses him on the cheek] Goodnight, Potter. [she walks back to her common room.]
Most people in the great hall cheer and a few wolf whistle.
James looked to his son and sent him a wink and smiled to his future daughter-in-law, who just laughs in return.
[The three friends stare at Harry, waiting for his reaction. Jasper is having a hard time holding in his laughter; Hermione nudges him to stop; and Ron was slightly shaking Harry.]
Harry: Did— did she just... [he points at his cheek] I think I love her.
"He really is James' son." Peter chuckled.
"You poor soul." Lily and Destiny mutter.
"Oi, trust me. It gets worse." Avery jokes, earning a nudge from her boyfriend.
[That sends Jasper over the edge, and he fell to the ground laughing. Hermione tried to hide her laughter, trying to stop Jasper. Ron shook his head and led the group through the corridor.]
