"Aaaaaaahhh, SON OF FFFFFFFUU-"

A miserable scream echoed out in a dark hall, though the hall regained it's quiet pretty soon.

Jason wanted to swear till it rained cats, but he wasn't at home now, much less the Gryffindor common room. Filch would surely jump at the chance to punish a student that's out after hours.

But looking at the bushy haired figure running ahead, and feeling the pain coming from his big toe, Jason had the urge to cry. Well it was his fault for antagonizing her, who knew she would suddenly step on his toe though. He was just teasing, it's not like he really wanted a kiss, not now at least.

What a violent lass

"Jason what happened?" Harry asked, surprised at Jason's sudden outbreak.

"Didn't you see Harry, that barbarian stepped on his foot, she's no good i tell you." Ron chimed in.

"Let's not dwell on the little things" Jason answered, with a little spring in his step, "We should go, Filch might come back."

"Yeah"

****

"Wingardium Leviosa"

And with that, Hermione's feather floated gently into the air, eliciting silence from the whole class, well almost the whole class...

"Well done Miss Granger, yes yes. You too Mr Riley, but if you could please stop tickling Mr Longbottom, yes thank you. Poor fellow's out of breath already."

Yes, while Hermione had been charming her feather, Jason had had his up a long time ago, of course no one heard him say his spell, so they didn't pay attention to him. Though Neville had been feeling the thing under his armpit for a while now.

" Haha stop stop, Jason stop hahaha" Neville pleaded through the few breaths he could take.

"Tell me something Neville Longbottom"

"Hahaha, I'll tell I'll tell, what do you want to know, haha"

"Do you think Hermione's bushy hair is artificial, or was she raised by lions and groomed to be the first female king of animals? "

"..."

"Aaah, wait Hermione I was just kidding, wait what are you doing with that quill, no that doesn't belong there aaaaaahh"

Soon miserable screams could be heard coming from the Charms class, and if you were bold enough to peek inside, you would find a messy haired boy running around class with a quill stuck in his left buttcheek.

****

"It's Levi~osa not Leviosa~, she's a nightmare, honestly. No wonder she doesn't have any friends"

Ron felt a person bump into him, looking to the front, him Jason and Harry saw Hermione walking off with a sob in her step. Jason stared at her back thoughtfully.

"Ron, it seems that your training has been a little too easy huh" Jason said, with a smile on his face.

Ron shuddered when he looked at Jason's smile, it was going to be a long night for him.

****

Halloween was a marvelous affair at Hogwarts, with flying pumpkins and good food the students enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked, noticing the open seat next to him.

"Patti Patil said she saw her in the girl's bathroom, crying." Neville, hearing Harry's question, answered.

The harmonious scene was soon disturbed, by the great hall doors being flung open, and a banged up professor Quirrell running in anxiously.

"Trooolll, troll in the dungeon!" he shouted, and after a pause. "Thought you'd ought to know." he fainted, eliciting chaos from the students.

Dumbledore, swiftly calmed the students down. And gave proper instructions to the prefects.

Harry had just wanted to move with, when he noticed.

"Where's Jason?"

****

"Ooh Hermi~one, come out. Or I'll blow your stall down"

"Go away Jason, this is the girl's bathroom!" Hermione shouted exasperatedly.

She wasn't even sad anymore, just fed up. Jason had been here for a while now, he had come straight into the bathroom and to the stall where Hermione was crying in. She had jumped when she first heard his voice, and of course she tried to chase him away, even resorting to pleading, but Jason just ignored her.

He had told her weird stories about an orange haired boy who grew up bullied and became the Hokage, and a rubber man who wanted to be the pirate king, she was utterly confused by them though. And what made her truly mad was, everytime someone came into the bathroom, he would chase them away by telling them.

"My girlfriend's got the leeks, nasty business. It'll be better if you find another bathroom, maybe in some other castle, her poops magical."

It had been hours already, now he was resorting to singing songs from the 80's.

"Wherever you go~

whatever you do~

I will be right here waiting for you~"

She couldn't resist anymore.

"Pffft, stop stop you're so annoying"

Though she said that, when she came out, she had a smile on her face, which Jason got lost in for a moment.

"Uuuh Jason"

Hermione said suddenly , snapping him out of his trance. He focused and saw that her swollen eyes had now gone wide, he could also make out some fear in them.

"Let me guess, big fat and ugly right"

She just nodded stupidly.

Jason turned around, and was greeted by the ugliest humanoid creature he had ever seen. It had a big fat belly, and ears that Jason thought could be used to pick up tv channels from China, the only thing Jason found imposing, was the huge club in his hand.

"Sooo, what riddle have you got for me?"

Jason asked with a grin.

"Rooooaaaar"

"Ok ok, you're not into riddles, I'll stop trolling now"
