Really Cullen? [Hiatus]

It's been a couple of days since the start of his third year and surprisingly it has been well.

"The quidditch tryout is tomorrow right?" Adam ask, excited for the new team. "Yeah, i suppose I'm not really looking out for it, they're gonna have such big egos someone need to restrain me from hexing them" Harry sigh in defeat, he's really tired.

"If you want i can help you" Cedric laughs awkwardly. "Really? I mean you're a Hufflepuff?"
"Well.."

"I can help too! I'll be uh... help you make stats about the tryouts and uhm.. yeah!" Adam smiles and blow a whistle sound using his fingers. "I still can't do that" Cedric frowned. "Don't worry pretty boy! They'll shut up when they see you!" Adam smirked and laughs at Cedric red expression.

"Speaking of quidditch.. did you know that Potter got onto the team?"

"What?"
"Huh!?"

"Yeah! That's my reaction when i heard Wood boast about it! Without tryouts too!" Cedric then explains the flying class accidents. "Your brother really have lots of willpower, and wait! Malfoy took us points!?" Adam looks pissed, he hates people who ruin their chance of winning the house cup. The other two laughs at him. "You should talk to Malfoy bout' that-"

"Is that why the points suddenly drop couple of days ago!?" Adam look more mad. "This is our only chance to win the house cup without participating in quidditch!!" Adam stomped the ground.

"Is that your stupid brother?"
"Sadly"

A group of boy mutter to each other while walking past them. "I have a valid reason to hate your brother now Adam" Harry crosses his arm. Micheal Coulson, the brother of Adam. Honestly he didn't know about his existence before Adam.

"Can't believe he's older than me" Cedric frowned in disapprovement towards Adam's brother. "We can't do shit bout' it, stop sulking we don't have classes anymore for today so let's hang out in the courtyard!" Adam then started complaining about his classes without any warning whatsoever.

As tomorrow finally arrived.

Harry was walking towards the great hall for breakfast when two first years run out with one of them holding a broomstick. "What?" And that's when he realized, that's his brother, holding a broom. "Shittt" his mouth gapes.

Harry want to talk with Cedric about the tryouts but him not being here yet is a problem, and so is Adam. Harry walk towards the stair only to see a commotion. 'Malfoy'

"-hat would you know about it, Weasley, you couldn't afford half the handle. I suppose you and your brothers have to-"

"Malfoy." Harry glare at the younger Malfoy."A mudblo-"

"10 points from Slytherin" Professor Flitwick appeared at Malfoy's elbow. "How many times have you spoken such words? Such a disgrace for the Slytherin house" Professor Flitwick walk away in disappoinment towards the boy.

"Class is starting, go to your respective classes" Harry examine the first years. "My father will hear about thi-!"

"Shut it Malfoy, no one need to hear your babbling in the morning, go to class" Harry snapped back, clutching his arm. "Potter, put that broom away if you don't want to hit someone.. see you in game" Harry smirked at the younger boy and walk away as the muggle girl walk towards them.

"...-o i suppose you think that's a reward for breaking rules.."

"..i thought you weren't speaking to us.."
"Yes, don't stop now" Weasley voice echoes.
.....
...
.......
"Who's that guy anyway?"
"I don't know either.." Aiden brushes it off.

"Hey Harry!" Adam rushed to him from behind, holding tons of books in the clutch of his arms. "There you are! I was searching for you!"

"My bad, i feel asleep in the library.. Anyway where's golden boy?" The two boys look around, searching for the Hufflepuff. "Group 2 maybe?" Harry muttered, outside of them, Cedric obviously have his own friends from his own house. He have a reputation to uphold.

"Let's go to the great hall, I'm hungry!" Adam grabbed Harry's wrist and drag him towards the hall. Upon entering the new Halloween decorations can be seen across the great hall, live bats flying around.

The two boys sat and join their housemates and enjoying their foods while laughing and making conversation with one another when suddenly Professor Quirrell came sprinting into the Hall, his turban askew and terror on his face. He ran and ran as his reaches Professor Dumbledore's chair, out of breath and yelled. "TROLL...IN..the..DuNgeons!!" He dropped onto the floor.

The students causes an uproar out of fear, the teachers immediately stood up to calm the case.

It took several purple firecrackers exploding from the end of Professor Dumbledore's wand to bring silence and grab the students attentions.

"Prefects!" He alerted. "Lead your respective houses back to the dormitories immediately!"

The Weasley prefect start taking action immediately with the other houses prefects following. The Weasley prefect can be seen leading the Gryffindor out of the Hall.

Harry and Adam were waiting for orders since.. their dormitories is in the dungeons if you recalled.

"Everyone from Slytherin! Professor Snape order you all to be in the Library now!" Ms. Potter can be seen in a hurry, leading the Hufflepuff and Slytherin prefects and giving orders to first years that got lost. Doing her best.

"Everyone! You heard what professor said! Move!" One of the Slytherin prefects hurried the students, leading them.

Harry and Adam look towards the Hufflepuff crowds searching for Cedric when two Gryffindor catches his eyes. "What are those to two..?"

The two starting talking and immediately went towards...the hallway of the girls lavatory?

"Adam cover for me, i need to go somewhere"
"What-"

Harry sprinted following the two boys from behind.

And that's when he heard, a girl scream.

"Hermione!" The two voice echoes from upfront. Harry couldn't see exactly what happened but he can't risk three first years being dead... and he could also be blamed for this... No choices left.

Harry rush towards the girl's bathroom. He stared as the said troll which is supposed to be in the dungeon, right Infront of him.

The troll damaged the wall making it fall. Harry gritted his teeth. He ran into the bathroom holding his wand towards the Troll while searching for the first years.

"What are you three doing!? Get out of there!" Harry scream loud enough to get their attention.

"Hermione's injured-!"
"I-I'm fine!"

Harry sprinted towards the girl and lifted her up from the rubble of the damaged wall. "Protego, Episkey." Green magic flow out of Harry's wand and circled around Hermione. She gasped for air

"thank you.."

As Harry turn around suddenly the Troll grabbed Aiden's leg lifting him onto the air.

"Potter!"
"Harry!"

"You, Get out of here and search for a teacher-"

"Watch out!"
"Wingardiun Leviosa!" Weasley waves his wand taking the club and lifting it towards the air. The Troll stared confused.

THUD

The club turned slowly over and dropped, with a sickening crack, onto its owner's head. The troll swayed on the spot and then fell flat on its face.

Aiden who were rose up in the air start falling.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Harry summon the spell just before Aiden could crack his head towards the ground. Harry slowly let go of Aiden for a smooth landing.

"Is..Is it dead?" Hermione spoke still trembling, Aiden stares at the unconscious Troll. "I don't think so" Harry spoke.

"Potter, your wand"
"Urgh..troll bogies" Aiden bent down and pulled his wand out of the troll's nose.

Suddenly footsteps slammed on the floor, a moment later, Professor McGonagall bursted into the room, followed by Professor Snape and Quirrell.

Harry immediately stood up. "Professor! One of them is injured with a slight bone twist in her wrist." Professor McGonagall nodded and glared at the other three Gryffindors. "What were you three thinking? If Mr.Cullen here hadn't arrived, things could have gone worse."

"..we had..it" Weasley whispers, frowning in disappoinment. "My apologies Professor for not alerting you beforehand" Harry spoke towards Snape. "I supposed it's acceptable" Snape whisper something but Harry didn't catch it tho.

Just before Harry could slip out of the commotion more people came towards the scene.

"Aiden!" James Potter ran towards his son with his wife following from behind. "Aiden Fleamont Potter! You're lucky you didn't get injured badly! You could've die!" His wife reaches for her wand and use a healing spell. Aiden just laugh

Harry stares. He just stares

Lily Potter start searching for injuries on the others while James Potter examine the Troll's body.

"It's still alive, should we kill it or release it Minerva?" He stood and walk towards the professor. "I'll talk about it with Albus but for now I'm sure the ministry will want news about this."

Harry saw that everyone's occupy, as he was about to leave, suddenly someone grab onto his wrist.

"You're not going anywhere Cullen" Professor Snape spoke with such venomous that Harry starts trembling. "What is it Professor-?"

"Since you're older and more reliable we need to hear everything that happened"
"Right now?"
"Right now."

"Well.."

Harry gulps and explained on how he saw the two Gryffindors ran towards the girls's lavatory and want to warn them about the wrong way when suddenly he heard a girl scream. He rushed towards the scene and saw the troll.

"That's all i can really tell and recall Professor" Harry smiles awkwardly, wanting to leave. "You're that boy right?" James Potter walk towards him. "I supposed-? I will go now, uhm thanks!!" Harry awkwardly rush out of the scene and run towards the dungeons.

Harry gasped and muttered the password with the breath he have left, as he enter, everyone eye stares at him. "What?"

Harry crosses his arm, and that's when he realized, he's covered in dust from the destroyed wall because of the previous encounter with the troll.

Suddenly a prefect came to scold him leaving him standing there awkwardly.

Very awkwardly
