''dude don't worry i've had it done to me many times but you will get over it''said leo to daniel.
''cassidy what did you say to him''asked leo..

[Cassidy Olesya Agar]

Never in all her life had she wanted to hurt someone. Well.. there were the few slytherins that had been... rude. But never like this. How could anyone possibly have the nerve to try and act their way out of it. Being all innocent. It was just worse then half the slytherins here. If she werent prefect, he'd be toast by now... or perhaps a mouse. Or a bug... and then stomp on him. Yeah... that all seemed so... nice. She smiled to herself momentarily before letting the smile fade away. Those were bad thoughts. Thoughts like those were how Trolls got bad names.

If she gave her ownkind a bad name like that she'd never live it down. Trolls were peacefull smart creatures, if she did something cruel and evil it would never allow the wizard kind to understand something like that. Suddenly the boy began shouting.. screaming. He seemed almost hurt. There was an odd tinge that made her wonder. Maybe this boy... maybe he wasn't all that bad. Maybe he wasn't faking it. Noone could act THAT good. It seemed almost all too realistic. Her insides were being pulled from either side. The guilt becoming overwhelming.

How could she blame an innocent person? Maybe he really did just make a mistake to defend himself as she had done countless of times. But another side refused to accept that fact. HES LYING! FAKING IT! Dont believe him... it's what he WANTS you to think. Her conscience battled inside her, good bad good bad. Who to listen to? This was just killing her. Never had she been in a situation like this. Was she wrong or right? Why wasn't the answer so easy to solve... why was this so hard to answer. She was supposed to be intelligent... but now, she felt like a thick headed giant.

Her face paled a lighter pink, eyes wide. With the sounds a few sniffles. It was all clear to her. He was telling the truth. He had made a small simple mistake and she had gone off at him like a bomb. What was wrong with her? She had made this kid CRY. Oh how she felt like the monster that most people had depicted her as. How could she let this happen... how could she let herself do this... Slowly she took a few steps closer to the boy taking a seat next to him and rubbing his back lightly.

"I... Im sorry" she whispered lightly. Those were the two most hardest words for her to say. Never in her life had she had to say those words. Most the time she had yelled at people, they had deserved it. This was all so new to her. Comforting the boy was just so... hard. "I... I didn't know. I just thought... " she said in less then a whisper. Her insides continued to swarm in guilt. How could she?! She almost had forgotten that there was someone else... She looked up, eyes still wide, face still pale. "I... uh.. forget it" she looked down at the ground.

''i'll go''said leo walking out. he popped his head round the corner, ''if you make him cry again i will be back''. then he went.

[Daniel Dunn]

It was true what he had read in all of those books. Maybe all books were true in what they said. Trolls were evil creatures. He had always refused to believe it. He thought it was a stereotype used for one troll. Like people thought all French eat snails and that all Americans were fat. But now he had no choice but to believe it. They thought it was fun to make people feel horrible. This was only a young troll. Daniel dreaded to think what the elder ones were like. They were problem all death eaters. She obviously tricked the sorting hat to get into Hufflepuff.
Just as he was thinking of leaving this room, the girl started to walk to-wards him. Oh no what was she going to do now? Was she going to curse him?
She sat on the chair beside him. Oh no he was a goner. Why had he even come here?
But instead of hurting him she patted him on the back. What was she doing? This was another trick.
He heard the words sorry, in his ear. Was she being real? Or was it just a trick. But she said something again. From this he knew that she was feeling guilty. Slowly he lifted his head.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and felt as if the anger had all been dropped from him.
He knew he had to forgive her. It was in his blood to do that. Daniel had to be a true Hufflepuff.
Maybe part of it was his fault. He did stick his wand at her. From the corner of his eye he saw the Gyrffindor prefect leave. Finally! He could be so annoying at sometimes! Was that really any of his business?
"It's OK, i... i ..i didn't mean to point my wand at you it was just defense" He mumbled really quietly. He voice didn't seem to want to be loud now. He had caused himself way to much embarrassment.

[Headmaster Millhouse]

Professor Leonardo walked into the Library to find a book to use as a source for his next lesson. He wasn't looking to have to clear up any problems, but once he had gotten there he realized he would. In the corner of his eye he saw a Hufflepuff pointing a wand at a young troll sitting beside him.

" Excuse me sir, but what exactly do you think you're doing? You do know the part of no dueling in the halls usually infers in the Library too. This will not be tolerated." he looked at the two.

"This is only a warning but If i hear anything of this sort from you Mr. Dunn, I will personally give your detention and have a talk with your head of houseabout your behavior. Now I suggest you move away from this young lady if you have a problem with her other than sticking a wand in her face."
Professor Millhouse then quietly moved away toonce more search for a book.
