My third year at Hogwarts

Chapter one 
Are house your home
 

The night bus took Richard to where he asked  the street where William home is as Richard got down from the bus. The work man on the bus could tell that boy had no idea how to do this.

He asked Richard for the piece of paper that William put his address on and took him to the house. "Do you want me to knock" Richard shook his head "no it's ok", he knock as the door opened to William all Richard could do was cry William didn't what to do.

"Honey what going on " "mother I" "my honey get me a blanket, a hot chocolate and your brothers Thank you kind sir we got him now". Not knowing what else to do he did what he was told as he mother went to hug Richard. "There there young man when somebody love you everything is beautiful, so just slow down take a deep breath theirs a light at the end.

Of it all so put one foot in front of the other and forward tomorrow you pull though as long as you know someone love you"."Thanks am ok now" as William gave Richard the hot chocolate and took him the front room as he went to get his brothers.

The brothers came down asking what up mother explained what happened. As Richard drink his hot chocolate then mother ask who would have him in thier room. Before we could fight over it, "how about he stay with you Cliff"said thier father who was behind them. He was the oldest and in his last year at Hogwarts he agree.

We were all in harry front room Ginny fixings her sons backpack. My brother keeping a tight grip on my hand Ted sitting on the sofa Kathleen waiting by the door. We were waiting for harry. We didn't have to wait for long when harry came though were a book in his hand "ok ready everyone put your hand on the book".

We put are hands on the book a hook behind grabbed me then in a flash we landed on the floor of grass. Two men with a baskets of items use port keys"Mr potter number 5 mrs. trump in her fourth and the only woman"said the men with a clipboard. As we walked to are part of land where we put up are tent. I asked if the world cup was here before harry nodded "yeah i come to cup here about a year older than you".

We meet a muggle woman who looked down at her list after harry said his name. "Three nights right " harry nodded she asked for fourth pounds harry got out two twenty pounds notes. She gave harry a map and a flag we walked off to the patch of grass that was are.

Harry and Ginny put up the tent he asked me,Ted and kath to go and get water we took Luke with us. Most of the tents were normal looking but some stood out. My brother was looking at tents that had dragon heads that showed the Japanese dragon some with the Germay flag.

Chapter two

Japanese vs Germany 

 As my brother was looking at the tents some that were like pyramids other had a front garden and had peacocks. I ask ted if Germany had a wizard school he thought for a minute then "i know their are five top schools one of those are the Japanese school. 

I think they went to burmstrang that in Sweden.After a minute of walking we found tim who was with a bucket we join up with him. We spoke after are next year at school and are classes "did you hear about Richard he bloom up his parents house".Ted nodded but i shook my head tim told me what happened his dad was part of the ministry. I asked if he was in trouble tim shook his head "no it wasn't his fault his power came out like that".

We queue up for the water we spotted Richard and William a bit further up we got their attention. They waited for us after we got water we walked back not talking about much. Then i ask if Richard was ok he nodded "yeah just a little bit shaken but ok will mum think been here will here". We asked if his parents will show up he shook head "they like to travel and besides they wouldn't dare corner a seen". 

We got back to the camp where harry was cooking a chicken and bruges. "We get some souvenirs after before the match ok" we nodded so we sat down to eat. Then we went to the store we got a Japanese flag and i got my brother a dragon hat that bearst out fire. 

Harry us binoculars that were made like videos camera then anything else. Then we went to get are sites Ginny stayed at the tent because of her be pregnant. "I wonder what we going to have to represent thier homes land" we all wonder that to as we watch from are sites. 

Birds of spices come out people on the backs of giant eager holdings the Japanese flag. As for Germany vampire and i think hags too walked out with the Germany flag. Harry wasn't surprised that they showed powerful creatures. 

The match began after the witches and wizards of each team was call out. I couldn't much even with my binoculars either could the announcer all he could do is call out names. The score kept getting even matched the seekers were up the highest, looking for the snitch harry was too i could see his eyes looking around the place. 

I watch as a bludger went for a Germany chase went straight for where i was sitting. I jumped out of my chair as she flew up with the bludger change department. I seated down after i calm down my brother put a hand on my looked at me to see if i was ok. As the match went on it was getting worse the keeper from the Japanese was taken out after Germany beaten hit two bludger at the same time. 

Everyone wanted a fault the referee bold on the whistle to a penalty. The score was now 90 Japan and 70 German the seekers, were flying around then out of nowhere the Japan seeker flew to where the announcer was. The snitch was just above him the German seeker was just behind him. Everyone watch as the Japan seeker reached out a hand but just then a bludger came up to the seeker. 

Who up to miss it some were out ranch of that but some were glad. Ables fall asleep next to his father harry got up and pick him up and said he take him back to the tent. He asked if James wanted to go back to James shook his head saying he could stand up a bit longer. 

The match was getting rougher with everytime Japanese got up one on Germany. The score was now 120 Japan and 100 Germany. The seekers were just above where we were this time Germany seeker flew off to the opposite end of the stage. Japanese seekers already their looking for what he saw then realised he was tricked. 

As the German seeker flew up to the snitch both hitting each other try to grab it. Then with in a seconds Japan seeker handed close on the snitch the match was over. 

We stayed of the three days even know the match was over we weren't the only ones who stayed. Then we went back are letter for school were on the table with are things Ginny had come back after one night in the bed. She told us that she just needed to take my brother with her to get robes and his wand and pet.

The pets were new one ferrets and lizard been their my brother really wanted a lizard. They left to get the last of his things we only had a week left to go until we back to Hogwarts.

We clapped then the first name was called out my brother was the third to be called out. He walked up put the hat on his head it took only a moment for it to yell out slytherin. The slytherin table clapped we did too but only because he was my brother. 
 
As the sorts was done my brother was sitting with two boys in the same year. He smiled as professor McGonagall was going on the rules before we got dinner. 
 
Afterward professor McGonagall wait until everyone was quiet, then said "right the new defence against the dark Arts professor is miss sunflower. From Italy who is here to put are minister closer and professor Mrs. Moonshine, for potion again i do not know how long they be here now goodnight everyone". 
 
As we got up to go bed my brother come over to me problem, to say he was sorry he wasn't in my house i shook my head. Know my brother wasn't like that he gave me a hug then smile. I asked him to looked after Richard he looked annoyed looked after someone older then him but he agree all the same.

We were the great hall looking at are timetables when my brother came over with his. He asked for directions to his class because the rest of the slytherin were jerks. I told him each floor and what class, were there he thank me and left with his friends. I looked at my timetable we had potions with Ravenclaw. 
 
The new potion professor was miss Ashlyn Bridge. We were too sure where they found her all we know is she a travel. To learn different potions around the world. When we got in class she had the change the classroom , it now got the students tables in a circle.
 
Surrounded a huge cauldron we took are seats "welcome class to my lesson now i have made some new changes. Now you probably wondered what in the cauldron well hopefully you get it by end of the year.
But for now let's try out a couch potion, just to see how far you have come". She put a flower in her cauldron and it comes back up in a bubble. "Start now you have until the flowers come back down". 
 
We opened are books to the couch potion and got started. Surprising the flower stay up for fourth five minutes. When we were done the flower came slowly down in professor hand. "Right time up let's check your potions" she came around to drink them. Only two of us failed that was two Ravenclaw "you did will we do the more better potion started next week". 
 
We had defence against the dark Arts next with the slytherin. Which was something we wanted, because we wanted to know if Richard was ok. He was sitting on his own i seated down next making everyone, but friends to whisper. 
 
But we didn't care we surrounded him asked how his first back was. "Fine i guess it isn't easy avoiding my sister she made my friends hate me"."Well you don't need those jerks you got us" all of us nodded "Yeah we your friends now". "Thanks guys""ok take your seat let's get class started".

After a hour we at the end of the lesson we told the professor.That by the end of the year she hopes that us will learn about the Patronus charm. Excellent whispers start up over that as we left the class. Then we luch all us talking how are time back. 
 
Chapter Five 
Hogsmeade tip
 
The first Hogsmeade tip was Halloween i really wanted to go but everyone had other plans. Ted and Tim had quidditch practice while Kathleen was recovering, from her last transformer. I didn't go alone but when the day come Richard was there wait for me.
 
"Your friends told me they all business, but you were to kind to show your disappointment so they told so i go with you". I smiled "thank everyone"i took his hand and walked off to the sweet shop, and the joke shop that was brought by the weasley brothers. Then we went to bar for a drink and seat at a table we didn't, talk i found it so awkward but i couldn't say anything. Then as we left the bar i spotted a raven it was seat on wall between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. 
 
I stair at until turned around and flew off. I wonder why it was acting so wired but just then i checked, i run after it with Richard just behind me. It flew into a cave we went inside hide behind a rock. She was stay behind a flouting table looking over a book. After a flew minutes she change back into a raven flew off. 
 
I don't know what made me do it, but i walk over to the table and started looking though the book. Richard went to looked out for me i kept looking though until i found something about werewolf. "She coming back" i rip out the pages and quickly run behind the rock. She then change back and invisible with the book and table. 
 
"Why didn't you took the book" because she could looking, for us and to honest i don't want to try my luck".
"Good point so what did you take" i showed him"werewolf?""Yeah for Kathleen" we got back to Hogwarts Ted and Tim were waiting for me. 
 
"You did what"said both of them after we told what happened. "Well i guess we gave a try out oh yeah sophie have that creature that protect last year" ask ted. "Yeah he been here the hold time",as i pulled out a mouse from my pocket. "Oh so where will we do it""myrtle Warren bathroom of course".
 
Chapter six 
Alchemy 
 
So me,Ted,Tim and Richard were in bathroom luckily, kath had joined a club to help her homework. "I still can't believe that creature, be with you the hold time and you haven't told us" said Ted.
 
"Well to be honest I've haven't noticed him right let's start","mm do you know how to do alchemy"ask tim. We all looked at the page and from the look of it was a potion. So we got a cauldron and the ingredient which were easy at first but then we got the hard ones. We had to get a claw of a hippgriff, some blue seaweed that live at the bottom of a magical lake and the hair tail of a centaur.
 
"I guess we could ask frena for the hair tail and hagrid for the claw, but the seaweed might be a problem". Then someone though the door but it was just Richard he had something with him and he was drip wet. Out from him bag he got out the claw, two hair and the seaweed. "How and why""why we friends why should i and don't worry them ok","ok now we let it simmer of five days". 
 
We asked myrtle Warren to keep the alchemy a secret. As it simmer we had Transfiguration had to change lamp back into cats. But one was a pig and that was my i did change back but it still had a lamp for a tail. It started run around in a circle until kath save me, professor McGonagall gave us ten points five for me for half way change the pig and kath for saving me.
 
The we had potions doing a stinging effect potion. Then we were walking to the great hall for dinner,"man it's really coming down" said Richard looking up at the slicing. "You guys go on a head i catch up" and he ran outside. 
 
I kept looking outside but tim didn't show up William ask what's up Ted told him. William got up and went to find tim he shouted for him but no luck. Then he spotted prongs who was flying near by, he went over there and found him taking shelter from a tree. 
 
In his hands were two kittens "tim their you are come on let's get you back inside". "No the mum hasn't come back""yeah but you catch your death for cold come no let's just hope she ok". With surprise easy he picked up tim and walked back "i can walk" i know but i want to". 
 
Meanwhile back at the hufflepuff common room William come though the picture frames. With Tim in his hands luckily everyone was in bed he put him on the sofa "right I better go back" but tim grabbed him. 
 
He gave in and seated down next to him and fell asleep together. The next morning we all at toilet to see how the alchemy was get on."So how are you going to tell her ""well we could tell her on herbology so she can't make a sense" said Ted. We all laugh "well that diced we do it in herbology".
 
Chapter seven 
Christmas time 
 
 
It was the last month before the Christmas holidays we could test out are alchemist to help kath. We were in the toilet luckily myrtle did not rat us out even know she said she would. We think she just wants us to keep coming back. 
 
When the day come to test out it out but it wasn't a potion, anymore it was now a stone of pure white. 
Kath was a bit worried she told us that she take the potion as well wear the stone. We didn't mind we just wanted to help are friend so that night I try to stand up with her. 
 
But I fell asleep but not long after I fell asleep i was shaking awake by kath. I open my eyes but kath wasn't a werewolf, in fact the only thing that had changed was her hair it was a dark grey. I can't couldn't believe it worked we had done it the next morning, we told Ted and the other it had work.
 
"Now we know it work i could show this to harry to help the other werewolfs. Oh that remind me Tim and Richard would you like to come to harry place this Christmas". They want to but how were they going to get pass their parents Ted laughed "guys my cloak" we looked at him."But wouldn't it looked wired if harry leaves with three suitcase and three owls". We thought though the night about how we were going to get past their parents with out it looking weird. 
 
Then just when we were going to call it a day at midnight a ghost girl appeared at the window. We walked up to her then she started to speak,"she has sussed but it's not right to someone else magic she has cross the line. I just wanted to be excited and have friends why didn't you recuse me". Then she vanished we looked at each other why did she show herself to us.
 
"We got to tell professor McGonagall" we nodded as we left the common room. It didn't take long for us to get caught to see professor McGonagall luckily professor Neville was the one who found us. We told him about what happened he took us to the headmistress office. 
 
When we got there professor McGonagall was in her night dress she looked at us. Then asked professor Neville to get are suitcase to are homes and to get Richard Brook and bring him here. After Neville left professor McGonagall ask us what happened we told her everything that the ghost girl had said.
 
She wrote down what we said then gave it to Ted and asked to give it to harry."Yes professor"then professor Neville come back with Richard and my brother him. She picked up three items a cup, a plate and a tea spoon "sophie and Luke you first"we walked up to the tea spoon after she cast porteds on to the tea spoon we though it and were gone. 
 
(Ted)
Then was kath who waved goodbye to us before leaving then it was are turn. "Am only doing this because I've have a bad feeling about this because it is supposed to be impossible to take magic. After all if that wasn't true squibs wouldn't existed i think she has made something close to a dementor. I have explain what i think what has happened now take the cup to potter house".
 
We did as we were told and we turned up inside harry house luckily he was a wake put Christmas gifts under the tree. He jumped when saw us and asked why we were here early I gave him the letter harry read it. Then down in the dinner room he asks us if their was anything else. I or so gave him the alchemist page on werewolf and said, "it works they turn into werewolf" harry looked up at me.
 
I think he was try to see if i was joking, when he realized I wasn't he got to his feet and took us are room. Once we got to the guest room I looked up at harry who angry at himself.
 
"Harry don't blame yourself this you were all looking for her". He smiled at me and thank me for trying to cheer up then he told us he let Ginny, know your here before he leaves for the minstrel of magic.

Dementor? 
 
Christmas holidays were very quick instead on going the train to Hogwarts. We were put on the night bus because of Richard and Tim who found it a bit fun. When we got back their were a lots of rumours about yesterday paper. That they found the body of the little girl and her kidnapped both dead. Sophie and Kath were waiting at the castle door night soon fall it was a full moon to night. (Sophie)
 
I saw Kyle and someone else just behind the boy, behind Kyle was wearing a long black cloak. Kath was the first one to feel something wrong, so she did something very brave and stupid. 
 
She gave the necklace change into a werewolf run forwards Kyle, to protect him from what was behind him. Richard was one step in front of us because he said he get the teachers. As for us we run up to where Kyle and kath were as for the person behind Kyle. 
 
Who was screaed and not sure what to do in this situation nor did we. Then it spoke "hungry" it kept saying it over and over again until it went for us. Kath protect us by attack him but when his hand connect her hand went frosty then was bleeding.
 
Tim then shouted"expecto patronum"a kingfisher, come shoot out from his wand and went for the creature. It did make the creature go back a few steps, but then he came right for us again. Me and Ted did the same summon are patronums me a swan ted a wolf. The creature roar in anger Kyle who finally plotted up, the courage to get up help his too was a wolf. 
 
Then a sliver cat and loin join in along with an eagle owl, a sworm of  bee, a Iguanas and a  lynx. Professor McGonagall, Neville,Ashlyn bridge,Leean Puffin, William and Richard come to help. Kath who was still a werewolf but had full control herself, went for the creature it gave one last Roar and ran away. 
 
"Neville get the oras that creature will come back right"ask professor McGonagall. We nodded "it said it was hungry over and over"said kath, as i gave her the necklace that put over her neck.
 
"Well you got alot to tell us"so we told professor McGonagall everything."So you have broken fifteen school rules have been by you lot but thanks to we have pushed back the creature". "What about quidditch will that still happened"as soon as the oras are here we will have hufflepuff vs griffdoor for the cup". 
 
After a week we could practice for the next game Tim got a nimble.  From his father he didn't like playing but the one thing we  did noticed was that he like to impress Williams. So William come to each practice to keep him motivated for the finales.

He didn't to talk about his family and as for my. Well mum was now working full, time now we were both at Hogwarts. 
 
I know anything about my dad slid of the family I never asked mum and I don't think I ever will. I told him instead what kind of muggle thing we had in the house. He was interested in the tv and the Disney movie I was tell him about. 
 
We left the pub when butt into the others because we went there first. We went to the honeydews I bought some chocolate for my brother. Then we had a look in Georg joke shop, and brought some fake wands and some cracks apples. Just as we were heard back a man went passed me he had a familiar smell.

With are friend why were talking about other things "I don't know but I know I've it before it's like a mix of tobacco, aftershave and something I know what it is". 
 
My brother was about to say something when are expected Ted ask what aftershave is. We looked at each other "don't tell me you don't use it when you get sweating". They shook expected Ted "My grandmother buy it for my grandfather, even those his dead she just can't help it so I use it of her". 
 
"That really sweet Ted" me and my brother said to him, we went to are common room before. My brother left to the slytherin common, he asked if I was going to ask mum about it. I shook my head "I don't know what his done in the past or what his doing now, but mum never talked about him and am not going to start now".

"Well see you next year kids are you ok""Yeah I just miss him you know"."The chimera you my brother checked the hole area, but all he could find is this little guy under the body of a Phoenix". 
 
Hagrid pulled out from his pocket a kitten of a Kneazle,"wait you mean it was a she" ask kath as I pick up. Everyone else was shrock it "we don't know what happened all we can think of is she was pregnant, and she couldn't give birth. So when it broke down to the animal's it was she was able to gave birth".
