Let's get started
*******************************
Tranquility, this described the atmosphere in the house of a family. A family of three, composed of the father, the mother and a little baby. A family that although they are in a dangerous situation, always look happy and loving each other.
But all that love and happiness was destroyed by the arrival of a person ...
- "Run, Lily! It's here! Take Harry and go!"- The father shouted, while taking his wand, ready to fight for his family. -"I will entertain everything I can!"-
-"Yes you are an idiot, Potter"-
The aggressor made fun of the father's words while preparing his wand.
Lily, the mother, quickly grab her son and ran to the stairs to climb to the room above.
-"[Avada Kedavra]!"-
Those were the last words I hear Lily before closing the door of the room.
Lily sob to know what happened down with her husband, and knew that she would have the same destination. But that didn't matter; What mattered was for his son to survive.
Just when he prepared what he needed for his son, the door of the room was violently opened, showing the aggressor who wore a black robe.
- "Hahaha! I recognize that it cost me to find you, woman dirty blood, but this is over"- said the aggressor, raising his wand; Not pointing to Lily, but the son. -"Give me the little one and let you go"-
- "No! Please! Don't do it!"- Lily begged. -"Leave my son!"-
- "Get out, foolish!"- The aggressor shouted, now being angry. -"Don't make you kill yourself too!"-
- "Please! Don't hurt Harry!"- Lily kept pleading. -"Make me to me! Make me! Leave my son! I beg you!"-
-"You have loved it, disgusting dirty blood"-
The aggressor then point to Lily with the wand.
-"[Avada Kedavra]!"-

...
Harry rose suddenly from his bed, agitated and sweating by sleep, or rather nightmare; That has just had.
Then annoying and tired. -(That nightmare again ...)-
He was bothered every time he had that nightmare; That horrible memory of the day in which his biological parents died at the hands of Voldemort. And Harry knew why this day had that nightmare.
Today was a special day for the magical population. For some it was a day that a fantastic event occurred and for others it was when a disastrous event occurred.
Today was October 31, witch night or commonly known as Halloween.
For the magicians, it was the special day in which the dark Lord Voldemort died, ending his kingdom of terror.
But for Harry, it was the day where he lost his parents ...
-(As he hated this day ...)-
With that thought, Harry sighs annoyed. Then he got up from his bed to see that only one hour left for breakfast.
...
.....
....
...
Harry tired, while looking at the staircase in front of him. Staircase that led to the office of the chief of his house, Professor Snape.
Without more to do, the stairs began to climb.
After a few seconds, Harry reached the door of the office. Then, without wasting time, he touched the door.
-"Forward..."-
Snape responded to the other side of the door.
When Harry opened and entered the office, he was able to observe Professor Snape sitting on a desk, signed and reviewed some papers.
When Snape looked up to see who he was, it seemed that an irritation brightness appreciated in his eyes when he saw that he was Harry.
- "What do you want, Potter?"- Snape asked, continuing with the paperwork and without looking at Harry. -"I hope it's important"-
Harry answered his question calmly. -"I came to ask for a permission to miss the Halloween party"-
That seemed to get Snape's attention, but continued with the paperwork.
-"It is mandatory for all students to attend the holidays"-
Snape explains him flatly, wanting to make that clear and without discussion.
- "Professor"- Harry still remained calm. -"I need to do something tonight"-
The latter seemed to have broken Snape's patience.
- "Ah yes?"- Snape asked coldly, leaving the paperwork aside, and then looking at Harry with a dangerous seriousness. -"So tell me, what is so important for Harry Potter to want to break the rules?"-
Harry did not let himself be intimidated and only answered the question with peace of mind.
-"Every Halloween night I stay in my room to be able to remember and pray to my parents"-
That took Snape by surprise, who later looked down in a dark way.
-"I see..."-
The silence wrapped the room for a few seconds, and then broken by Snape.
- "You have my permission to miss the party"- said Snape. -"Now you can retire"-
- "Good"- Harry said, then start retiring. -"Thank you, professor"-
When Harry retired, Snape looked a magical photo on his desk, where there were several students, but he was more interested in a particular student.
-"Lily ..."-
With sadness, Snape looked at the smiling red -haired student in the photo.
...
.....
....
...
Harry released a sigh while moving his breakfast with the fork, without encouragement to continue eating.
-"Are you okay, Harry?"-
Hermione asked to see Harry's particular attitude.
Harry responded discouraged. -"Yeah..."-
And as every morning in Hogwarts, Harry was having breakfast with his friends, this time at the Hufflepuff table.
The big dining room had been decorated to celebrate Halloween. A thousand bats were flutterned from the walls and the roof, while another thousand passed between the tables, like black clouds, making the candles of the pumpkins tremble. Clearly the decorations made the festivities more fun, but not even that was able to cheer up Harry.
The group looked worried about Harry. For them, he behaved in a very different way.
Harry obviously saw his reactions.
- "Sorry for my behavior, guys"- Harry gave them a sad smile. -"I don't like Halloween"-
- "Okay, friend"- said Neville. -"No problem"-
Then an awkward silence wrapped the group.
-"Eh ... Does anyone know anything about the Cerber on the third floor?"-
Hannah said, trying to change the topic of conversation.
Hermione was the first to talk about that. -"Obviously you have to be protecting something"-
-"But what would be so important to use a cerber as guardian?"-
Tracey couldn't help asking that.
-"I don't know and I don't want to find out"-
Neville said, fearful of imagining himself to face the Cerber.
- "Well"- I speak Susan. -"We at least know that something important must be careful"-
Daphne gave his opinion. -"Oh dangerous ..."-
- (I still have to investigate that there are under the springboard ...)- Harry thought calmly. -(I have to know if there is something that may be dangerous for school)-
Harry only sighed tiredly when there were many things to do yet.
...
.....
....
...
Harry was currently walking around the halls, along with his friends from Hufflepuff and Slytherin. They went to the next class, after having left transformations. But his walk stopped when they looked at Neville running towards them, after stopping very agitated at the head of the group.
- "Harry ...!"- Neville talked between gasps. -"Finally ... I find you ..."-
- "Neville"- Harry looked at the newcomer with curiosity. -"What's happening?"-
-"It's Hermione ..."-
Neville's words quickly caught Harry's attention.
...
.....
....
...
-(stupid Weasley!)-
Harry was angry; Very angry for what I had heard from Neville. Now he was hurriedly walking next to the group to a specific place.
Neville had told them that something happened during the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw enchanting class. Apparently Hermione wanted to help Ron with the levitation spell, but he took it very badly and insulting Hermione behind her after the class ended.
Unfortunately, Hermione had heard it, which caused her to run as she cried.
-"This is where it entered"-
Neville told them, after he and the group reached the door of the women's bathroom.
-"We will talk to her"-
Susan told them, for her and the other girls will enter the bathroom.
After a few minutes, the girls came out, but without Hermione.
- "It's very affected"- Susan said. -"You don't want to go out"-
-"He said we leave her alone for the moment"-
Tracey added the latter.
Harry sigh. -"Maybe it's the best"-
Then the group began withdrawal from the place, hoping Hermione recover.
...
.....
....
...
In the living room of his trunk, Harry sigh sadly as he turned on the last candle on the table.
Hermione did not appear in the next class and did not see her throughout the afternoon. And on the way to the great dining room for lunch, Harry had to repress with all his strength not to hit Ron in front of everyone. But that did not mean that he was going to get rid so easily; Harry already had a punishment in the future for him.
Harry was currently in his trunk, while the other students were at the Halloween party.
Among the candles, Harry put a frame that contained a magical photo of his biological parents.
Harry smiled when he remembered how he got the photo. It was thanks Rubeus Hagrid, guardian of the Hogwarts keys and land.
Many times Harry had gone his cabin in the forest to talk and talk. Hagrid is very friendly and always told Harry stories of his parents when they were students in Hogwarts.
It was thanks to him that Harry obtained that photo.
Then Harry sat with his legs crossed, looking at the photo in front of him with a sad smile.
-"I miss them..."-
And so, only then, Harry began to cry. Releasing all the pain and angry for the death of their parents and curses internally to Voldemort and their Death Eaters.
.....
.....
....
...
All the students were eating and celebrating, having fun at the party and eating a great variety of dishes and sweets.
But all that celebration was interrupted when Professor Quirrell arrived quickly to the dining room, with his turban twisted and with a face of terror. Everyone watched him as he approached Professor Dumbledore, leaned on the table and gasped.
-"A troll... In the dungeons... I thought you should know"-
And collapsed on the floor.
There was a tumult. In order to make the silence come, Professor Dumbledore had to make several fireworks come out of his wand.
-"Prefects"- Dumbledore exclaimed. -"Lead your groups to the dormitories, immediately"-
The Prefects of each house quickly organized and guided the students in an orderly manner towards the exit of the Great Hall. But different students from the four houses had the same thought.
-(Hermione!)-
The group grew worried, then separated from the students and quickly headed to the girls' bathroom.
...
.....
....
...
Harry wiped away the last of the tears in his eyes as he walked down the hall to the Great Hall. He had been crying for several minutes, then decided to go to the party and try to have fun.
But suddenly, Harry's walk stopped when he smelled a special aroma; a mix of dirty socks and a public bathroom that no one cleans. Then he heard a grunt and the unsteady footsteps of gigantic feet.
Following the sounds of the footsteps, Harry arrived at another hallway, where something huge was moving at the bottom. It was a horrible sight. More than three and a half meters tall and had stone-gray skin, a huge deformed body and a small bald head. It had short legs, thick as tree trunks, and flattened and deformed feet. The smell it gave off was incredible. He was carrying a large wooden staff that he dragged along the floor, because his arms were so long.
Harry was surprised to recognize the creature. -(A Troll...)-
The Troll stopped at a door and looked inside. It flapped its long ears, making decisions with its tiny brain, and then slowly entered the room. And Harry knew which room that was.
It was the girls' bathroom where Hermione was...
-(Hermione!)-
Harry worried, then moved at lightning speeds to go to the bathroom. When he entered the bathroom, he heard a scream and could see Hermione crouched against the opposite wall, looking like she was about to faint. The Troll advanced towards her, crashing into the sinks.
Harry quickly acted, wanting to get the Troll's attention.
-"Hey, egghead!" Harry shouted at it. -"Look behind you!"-
The Troll stopped a few feet away from Hermione. It swayed, blinking stupidly, to see who had made that noise. Her evil little eyes darted behind him, only to see that there was no one there; as Harry quickly moved again to stand next to Hermione.
-"Come on! Run, run!"-
Harry shouted, trying to push Hermione towards the door, but the girl couldn't move. She was still crouched against the wall, her mouth open in fear.
And seeing the Troll take an interest in Hermione again, Harry quickly acted and picked her up in his arms, then moved quickly again, then left the bathroom, confusing the Troll.
Harry sighed in relief, then left Hermione on the floor, who already seemed to react.
-"Wh-What happened?"-
Hermione asked surprised and scared.
Harry reassured her. -"Calm down, everything's okay"-
But just as he finished speaking, the bathroom door flew off its hinges, triggering the Troll's blow, who started to leave the bathroom and was not happy at all.
-"Damn..."-
After complaining, Harry stood in front of an angry Troll, protecting Hermione.
The Troll, quite angry, raised his staff over his head, then began to lower it with all his strength, trying to hit Harry in the head.
-"Harry! Quick, move!"-
Hermione shouted at him, but Harry didn't.
Only a few seconds after Harry received the blow, the group of friends arrived at the scene, just in time to witness the scene.
*Crackkk!*
Everyone's eyes widened in shock when they saw pieces of wood and splinters flying from the staff when it hit Harry's head, and the shock increased when they saw that Harry was completely intact. And some would swear they saw a black metal armor covering his head.
The Troll raised his broken staff and looked at it dumbly, not understanding what happened.
Harry looked at him seriously. -"My turn..."-
Then he raised his right arm, which had been wrapped in the black metal armor. Then, with surprising speed, he delivered a powerful blow to the Troll's abdomen.
The blow was so strong that the entire arm sank into the Troll's abdomen, as well as causing the creature's body to contract in a strange way.
As he withdrew his fist, the Troll swayed and fell face up with a noise that made
the entire hallway shake.
Harry blinked in surprise and raised his fist to see it.
-(Otō-san was right...)- Harry thought in surprise to see that he didn't need to use Magic to defeat the Troll. -(Training my strength and [Haki] would help me a lot)-
-"Ha-Harry?"-
Suddenly came the voice of a surprised Hermione behind him.
When Harry looked behind him, it was not just Hermione there, but the rest of the group as well, who were also shocked.
Harry groaned internally as he saw that he showed something he definitely didn't have to show.
He quickly tried to explain to them. -"Guys, this is not what it looks like."-
-"You defeated a Troll..."- Daphne said in shock. -"And only with your hands."-
Susan was also in shock. -"You did something I consider impossible for any wizard..."-
-(Shit...)-
Harry groaned as he saw that he had no way to explain the situation.
Before he could continue speaking, loud footsteps were heard, making the group jump. They hadn't realized how much noise they had made, but of course, they must have heard the troll's thumps and growls downstairs. A moment later, Professor McGonagall rushed into the room, followed by Snape and Quirrell, who brought up the rear.
Quirrell glanced at the monster, groaned, and dropped to the floor, clutching his chest.
Snape leaned over the troll. Professor McGonagall looked at the group. They had never seen her so angry. Her lips were white.
-"What the hell were you thinking?"- Professor McGonagall said with icy fury. -"You're lucky I didn't kill you. Why weren't you in the dormitories?"-
Snape gave Harry a sharp, questioning look.
Hermione was about to step forward to speak, but Harry stepped in front of her.
-"What happened, Professor McGonagall, is that we came to help Hermione, who didn't know about the Troll."-
Harry answered calmly, surprising Hermione.
Hearing that, Professor McGonagall gave Hermione a serious look.
-"Is that true, Miss Granger?"-
Hermione nodded nervously.
-"Y-Yes, I was in the bathroom,"- Hermione said nervously. -"I didn't know there was a troll inside the school."-
-"And how were you able to knock out the troll?"-
Snape asked with interest, joining the conversation.
That took the group by surprise, but Harry answered the question without any problem.
-"Some people distracted the troll. So I took advantage and took his staff from him, then levitated it over him and released it so that it fell on his head, thus knocking him out."-
What she said surprised the group and intrigued the teachers.
-"And you came up with the plan, Mr. Potter-Uzumaki?"-
Professor McGonagall asked, only to receive a confirmation with a nod.
Then Professor McGonagall gave the whole group a serious look.
-"Well, I still think you were lucky, but not many first years could knock down a troll. But maybe you were very careless to come here alone, knowing that they could tell a teacher or a prefect. Minus 5 points each for... Such a careless action"- Said Professor McGonagall, leaving an embarrassed group. -"But... 10 points each, in reward for your heroic act"-
That last thing surprised the group.
-"Professor Dumbledore will be informed of this," said Professor McGonagall. -"You may go."-
The group then went their separate ways, depending on which house they belonged to.
On the way to their common room, Harry could feel the questioning glances of his two housemates, obviously looking for answers to what they saw. And Harry was sure his other friends had the same question as well.
-(Great...)- Harry thought tiredly. -(Now they'll want to know how I did that)-
It seemed like trouble never stopped coming to him.
-(Seriously...)- Harry got annoyed. -(How I hate Halloween)-
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
