Misadventures in Hogwarts

"No-no Im fine" I replied.
The Slytherin boys were talking with the other Slytherins at the table across. They turned around and made a L with their fingers pointing at me and Terra. My eyes didnt leave theirs. I reached acroos to my plate and grabbed my bun. I bit into it, still staring at them.
 
I glared at them, and made a 'C' sign with my own fingers, meaning 'creeps'. Then, crossly, I turned away, and continued eating my chicken.
 
I still stared at them. My blue eyes lost their sparkle like always when I was hurt or mad. I clenched my fist together.
"Where is everyone?" I asked calmly STILL not taking my eyes off the boys.
 
"Nothing" I said squeezing the bun in my hand. The boys were still talking about what they did to me and what I did back.
There such idiots! Next time I won't use bugs....I will use.......nevermind.... I thought to myself. or should I?
 
"I dunno.C'mon, let's go to our classes.I have-"
"Terra Lanes!" Proffesor Mcgonagall's voice rang out.I looked up, and saw her approaching.
The boys laughed."Ooh, you're in trouble now, freak." one of them whispered to us, and they all laughed again.
"Miss Lanes!I assume you had gotten my note yesterday?" The Tranfiguration proffesor asked me.
I nodded.
"Come now child, you are to have your meeting with Dumbledore.Come!" she started to briskly walk torwards the Great Hall enterance.I waved 'bye to Karli, stood up, and followed her, glancing back at my friend.
 
I didnt see Terra get up or leave. I just sat there watching the boys.
Filthy Rotten.... I thought. But I stopped myself.
 
....
I was currently sitting on a armchair near Dumbledore's desk, waiting for him to arrive.Proffesor McGonagall was standing near me, with one hand on my shoulder."Don't worry dear, we are just going to talk about your current House." she said, tring to reassure me, with a stern, yet kind, face.
 
I then looked at the Slytherin table and saw who she was staring at. "I'll be back. I have to take care of something." I said winking at Karli. I walked over to the table and sat across from the boys. "Hey , remember me from Spells and Defense?" I asked cheerfully.

"YEAH! Your that boy who took on all those werewolves!" They said excitedly. "Come sit down and help us make fun of that girl of yonder!" They both said laughing.

"You mean that girl over there?" I asked pointing to Karli.

"Yeah, that girl." One said.

"That's my friend, and I suggest.." I said my wand in hand and it was glowing orange. My father saw this and bent over his chair and looked with interest and seemed to be muttering something like, "Those boys are going to get it now." I continued, "I suggest you don't even look at her again, or I'll personally kill you!" The table was shaking violently.

"You can't hurt us! The spells only work on beast!" They said laughing triumphantly.

"Oh, but I know anyother one. Dragothic Menisic Supimic. It distroys any evil beings, such as yourselfs." I said laughing back at them.

They got white in the face and horror struck them, "Fine, we won't even look at her or her friend."

"Good boys! Now if you'll excuse me I have to go sit with Karli. And if I see any of you felthy slytherins make fun of any of my friends! You'll have to answer to me and my spell!'" I said loudly. I returned to Karli and said, "That's should do it.
 
At last, in a few minutes, Dumbledore slowly came in.
His midnight blue robes rustled as he sat down behind his desk, and his eyes twinkled merrily as he studied me.
"Ah...Terra Lanes, is it not? Welcome, Terra..."
 
"HEY!"
Berii was awakened by a loud shout. She rubbed her eyes and found herself still in the tree. "Hey!" the boy shouted again. "What?" she yelled back. "Aren't you suppose to be in class?" He asked. Berii jumped out of the tree and looked at her watch. "Sorry! I overslept." Berii said, running towards the huge door, but she was stopped. "Come with me." He said, dragging Berii.
 
After my classes I walked to the library. I needed to get to the bottom of the voices thing.
I saw Madam Pince holding a book.
"Beare Pince! Die Pince!" It was the voices again. After that message, Madma Pince disappeared in a whirl of purple clouds.
All that was left, was a book.
It was Hogwarts: A History. I opened it. It was normal. I decided to go to the section labeled Bad Happenings. Nothing but the Chamber of Secrets and Voldemort.
I went to close the book, but something caught my eye... A page was missing! Whatever it was, it must have been something someone didn't want people to know.
It may have had something to do with the strange voices and Madam Pince!
But I had to figure this out before everyone was taken!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ran to Karli at dinner with Hogwarts: A History.
"Karli!" I said. "I don't that I was hallucinating! Madam Pince disappeared, I saw it, the voices were back and said 'Beware Pince! Die Pince!'. And when I checked back to the Bad Happenings of Hogwarts: A History section to see if it had anything to do with all this, a page was missing!"
I showed Karli the book. "How can you explain that?"
 
I had just left my second lesson for the day, History of Magic. That was one lesson I had not yet been awake in this year. My next subject was Spells and Defence, the new one. The teacher was professor Bache, Johann's dad. I made my way to the grounds where the class was to be held. "Good morning class. My name is Professor Bache and I'll be your spells and Defence teacher this year. I'm going to do the role to learn everyones names. Just say 'here' when I call your name." I pulled out a list of names from his robes and started to call out peoples names. He got to the 'H's and I knew my name was next. "Hunter, Daniel." he called. "Here." I called back. He looked up from the names and looked at me.
"You'll be Malcolm's son then?" he asked me. My dad's name was Malcolm. I knew that about him at least. "Yes." I sighed. I didn't like talking about my dad much.
"I knew him at school you know. Great wizard, lots of talent. You have too from what I've heard." he said giving me a wink. From that I guessed Dumbledore had told him about my tutoring. He finished the role call soon after and we were all eager to see what he would teach us. "Today like the other class we are going to be tackling werewolfs. To spell to use is 'Dragothic Menisic'. Remember it well, you'll need it. There will be one werewolf per person at a time and they will be attacking so don't be afraid. Ok let the class begin." With that the class turned to face their werewolfs and to attack. "Dragothic Menisic!" I shouted and a massive beam of orange light came from my wand, obliterating the werewolf. I said it more quietly the next few times so not to over do it but it got boring. I decided to relax. "Xob Erutpac." I said drawing a box with my wand around my self. The werewolf lunged at me but hit my magical barrier and fell down. I sat on the ground and watched the werewolf try to get at me. "Mr. Hunter!" I heard a voice behind me. "What are you doing, sitting there like that! You are easy prey for a werewolf like that!" he obviously hadn't seen the wolf try and get at me yet.
"I'm all right sir. Just watch him." we both watched as the wolf tried to get me again but like all the other times failed. It now got into its head it couldn't get me so it just sat at the edge of the box, snarling at me. "Nice spell Mr. Hunter. Dumbledore I presume?"
"Yep." I answered him. Then the bell rang.
"End of class already? I had hoped to get on to giant spiders this lesson but oh well. Theres always tomorrow." He then dismissed us from class. I liked the class because of the practical but it was too easy. I hoped it would become more difficult as the year progressed.
 
The next day, Defense of the dark arts moved even more slowly then ever before. Once it was over I almost was tempted to jump out a widow to get to Spells and Defense. When I got there my father said to me, "You know Daniel, rigt?"

"Yes I do, he's one of my friends." I said smiling.

"Good. Class, you may thank my son's friend Daniel for this lessen. For you see, he thought it was boring, I could tell from the look on his face." He said in a way that made the whole class laugh. "Instead of Water Wolves, we will do Giant trolls. Not even my son can do this. It is very hard to tackle one of these. THey can not be defeated by any one spell. Instead you must use a combination of spells. But you'll need a sword for this. Do all of you have a good sword with you?" He asked not expecting anyone to say yes. "Good, then I will supply you with one of mine. You will bring it to class from here on out. But the blade will get doll every time you take it out of this area, and it will only sharpen when I say so. Because they are my swords and I am their master. Here you go." He said with a flick of his wand, everyone had a sword that was there size in there hand. "Now here's what you do, you use Baca Lacivic which will turn your sword a greenish color, and then all you have to do is stab them in the heart! Any questions?" He asked. All at once the class ros there hands.

"Um.......how are we supposed to get to the heart? Afterall they are giants, and tolls." A hofflepuff boy said.

"Good question, you could use a jumping spell, or a shrinking spell, but your magic isn't strong enough to subdue a giant troll with a shrink spell. So you'll have to wait until a they come down to get you, you'll have to dodge the blows and strike them down. Anymore questions?" He said to the class.

"Yes, um...... Trolls of very thick skin. How are we suppose to ram it through their natural body armor?" the same boy asked.

"Good question again! There are thousands of spells to handle that! But none of them are going to work on these trolls. So I'll deminstrate." He said with another flick of his wand a humungous troll almost the size of hogwarts appeared. "Now your troll are going to be ten feet smaller but they'll look just as big." He yelled over the trolls moaning. "Watch me carefully. FYI: I was a very good athelete and very good gymnist." He said as the troll attacked him. He did a backflip to dodge the club, which was more like a tree. "Baca Lacivic!" He yelle taking out a very beautiful and well crafted elvish sword. On the trolls next swing he swung straight down. Professor Bache jumped back and then ran up the trolls arm as far as he could go and then he jumped toward it's heart and threw his sword like a javain and it went swiftly into the trolls heart. The troll vanished and his sword returned to his hand. "That is how you do it. The spell I'm having you use will allow your sword to only peirce through the section of skin where the heart is. Go!" He said sending giant trolls at each student. They all tryed to dodge the atttacks but some were unsuccessful and got knocked out, Professor Bache snapped his fingeers and the troll assigned to that student disappeared. After the bell rang only a few destroyed the trolls, which included me and the hufflepuff boy. "Okay class that is it. Go to your next classes, I will take the inguried to the hospital wing and return for the next class. Johann will you help me do this?" He said.

"Sure!" I said picking up a few people and my dad doing the same. We then got every ingured person to the hospital wing. And I return to class and he return to his class right on time.
 
I went to my first class in the morning...as usual. I sat down at my seat and waited for it to be over.
Come on! End! I kept thinking to myself. When it was finally over I kept looking for my friends.
Maybe they are still in class.. I thought. So I went to the Great Hall to work on my Charms essay. Once I had finished it (it was 5 pages long) I went to han it in.
 
The meeting lasted for about two hours, and it included the sorting hat.
A freakish thing hapened-it admitted that it HAD made a MISTAKE!

"Terra..." Dumbledore looked at me with his eyes sparkling.

"You have heard what the sorting hat has to say...."
I nodded to show I understood.

"The sorting hat.....my dear, has made it's first mistake.It has said that-"

Proffesor Mcgongall jumped into the coversation, with a face as pale as one of the ghosts;

"-That it heard voices...terrifieng, even for our old friend.Miss Lanes, you see, T...they said things, that influenced it to-"

"Thank you, Minerva." Proffesor Dumbledore said gently.
"But I do not think these things are sutible for the innocent mind...."
His gaze drifted to me.

"Terra......do you think you should have been put into Gryfindor? For...you may, indeed, switch houses if you like."

The conversation lasted for 5 more minutes, then Dumbledore nodded at Proffesor McGonagall, eyebrows arched, his face showing no emotion except for his eyed, that twinkled.
"I will give you some time to think, Terra, take all you like...to make a choice...you may go now."
I quickly stood up, grabbed my bag, and left, eager to tell my friends about what had happened.
---
It turned out, everyone was in bed, so I decided to wait untill the morning.After doing my homework, I lept into bed, eager for the next day to come. couldn't wait....
---
The next day, I woke up very early, so that I could tell all my friends about the meeting.I dressed in my usal tank top, skirt, and a necklace and gathered my things up...
---
After my first class (Potions), I stood out in the hall to wait for my friends.They will be surprised.

I walked out to the corridor and saw Terra and Johann talking. I ran over to them, holding my books to my chest.
"Hello", I said to them. "How are you guys?" I asked smiling at them.
