After the frightening experience in the abandoned toilets, the next day Holly and Charlotte decided to visit a more... well known and definitely well preserved location, the trophy room.
This time Holly enters first, while waiting for Charlotte she took in the mighty armor of knights in the trophy room, it shined in bright shades of silver and gold, it's polished surface as smooth as a clear mirror, Holly saw her own distorted reflection off the knight's faceplate, and it had a aura that usually makes people fear and respect it. Not for Holly, being the single child that she was, she used to have no limits, she can do whatever she wanted most of the time at home and was allowed to look at and touch everything although sometimes it coused trouble to rain upon her, like how she messed around with her father's hidden wand, or the time she almost deep fried her own fingers. Anyway this concept of being able to mess with anything sticked with Holly as she grew up. She had a flaw of having little respect towards unknown objects or people.
"Ooooooooh shinnnnnnny......"
It was a known rule to everybody including Holly that things in the trophy room were not toys or gadgets to be played with.
"Arugh... ookie... Waiting... and here i am."
Holly waited for Charlotte, until she couldnt stop the urge. The urge to move her hands over to the sword's golden handle and pull on it.
"I am the chosen oneeeee!"
Holly joked as she tries to lift the heavy sword, failing, she attampt the second time,
"For the HOLY LANDDD-"
Holly leans backwards while jokingly exclaiming that, holding the handle with both hands... her exclamation was however cut off by a scream as the entire set of armor came tumbling down onto Holly. She dives left as a reaction, avoiding the otherwise fatal impact , but getting stuck with the knight's greatsword on top of her, she was trying to lift the weapon off her chest, when she spots Charlotte staring in shock at the doorway.
"Whoopsie?"
Holly awkwardly smiles and her face turns apple red. She shrugs while still on the floor, unable to get up.
"Guess rules were made for a reason."
Holly was worried that ChaRlotte would just leave her here.

Charlotte walked down the corridor, looking for the trophy room. Although there were no indications, she knew exactly where it was as she heard a familiar voice in the distance.
"For the HOLY LANDDD-"
What was going on there? She walked a little faster, trying to reach the room as fast as she could before Holly accidentally kills herself with the armours.
Well, at least she didn't kill herself...
Charlotte stood behind the door as she saw Holly fall under the weight of the sword, before seeing the whole armour shift and eventually fall onto her. Her eyes wide open and her hand on her mouth, she looked at her, wondering how this happened.
She took a step forward, looking around her and eventually laying her eyes on Holly peering through the armour keeping her to the ground. At the sight of this, Charlotte bit her lip, unable to contain her urge to laugh. She finally gave up and chuckled, imagining what could've happened for this to happen so soon.
'Wh- What happened here? How?' she said breathlessly, trying to stop laughing. 'I leave you alone for two minutes and you manage to get stuck, already?'
The armour was definitly heavier than she expected and Charlotte had a hard time getting one piece off Holly. Well that's not gonna help. How is it that one of them always gets stuck while on their little adventures? Struggling, she managed to get enough off so that Holly could slide out and get back on her feet.

Still stuck under armor Holly awkwardly chuckles.
"Remember how i told you rules were made to be broken? I uhhh might have sort of... kind of... um... broke a really simple rule. No touchy. I was um... lets just say... being a crusader. And uh... i kind of pulled the sword too hard so...... yeah."
She smiles at Charlotte while she gets metal pieces off her arms and chest.
"Woah... you're suprisingly strong... yeah... you remind me of mom, she saves my sorry butt everytime i get myself into trouble. And trust me, i get into a lot of trouble, all the time."
One last piece of the knight's arm was removed from Holly's leg and she slides out from under, wiping some sweat off her forehead, she sees Charlotte panting, probably thursty from all that excersise and jokingly holds her wand out.
"Summonus-hydrolysis!"
Nothing happens and she shrugs.
"Well, i tried. Too bad, can't summon water."
She crosses her arm and looks at the armor on the floor, she kind of felt sorry for all the trouble Charlotte has gone through to get her out and how she caused such a mess, all just because she had this dumb idea of being a crusader for fun.
"Roomius-tidyus!"
"Dang it."
Holly was trying to guess spells, but she had no luck. She sighs and smiles.
"I guess I'll have to start reading those bricks we bought in diagon alley."

Charlotte laughed as Holly tried to cast imaginary spells as she looked down at the armour. How were they supposed to put this back? She put her hands on her hips as she sighed.
'Well, we got two options here. We either were never here and never saw such a thing, or we try and put it back and potentially avoid trouble...' she said, a smile on her face.
'Obviously...' as she stared at Holly. 'Obviously, we have to put it back.'
She bent down to pick up the leg-piece, but let go of it as soon as she lifted up.
'Oh my god! It's so heavy !' she frowned, wondering how they were supposed to put it back, as it was at least as heavy as both of them.
Unfortunatley they didn't know any spells that could do it easily for them. She looked at Holly in a way to make her understand that they were going to have to do it no matter how hard.
'Okay, grab the top of the leg and I'll grab the foot.' she said breathlessly, trying her best to lift the armour off the ground. Slowly, they rose the leg up onto the metal support holding in straight.
'Well, now we just have... the rest to do...' she chcukled as she bit her lip.

When Charlotte listed out the two possible solutions to either fix it or pretend that it never happened, Holly was about to grab Charlotte and bail out. But Charlotte, being the responsible person that she was began to rearrange the armor. Holly realises it's the right way and the more realistic way to get out of trouble, she sort of felt bad for Charlotte, she's done none of this but she's taking care of the situation , Holly thinks of her mother again, always clearing her traces for Holly, always solving problems that Holly cause over and over again. She also felt ashamed for even thinking of just running.
"Okay, grab the top of the leg and I'll grab the foot."
"Y-yeah sure... thanks for the help."
Holly smiles up at Charlotte, who was slightly taller than Holly. As she bent over and pulled on the top of the armor piece. Holly tried to move it on her own but she was far too weak it was only with Charlotte's help that they were able to carry the foot over to the metal support frame thing. Holly was sure that Charlotte was doing 70 percent of the work. She was touched by how nice and helpful Charlotte really is and shows a warm smile over her gritted teeth

Charlotte and Holly struggled to put back the leg, but after a few hard and cruel minutes, their hard-work payed off. The armour looked as if it had never moved a bit. She sat on the floor, taking her breath as she tucked her hair behind her ear. A hand on her stomach, she lied down, exhausted. She could feel her heart beat in her chest and in her head and waited a few seconds to calm down.
Looking at Holly, she patted the floor as if to invite her to sit next to her. Charlotte sat up, holding herself on her arms while she looked at all the shining armours lined up by the windows. They looked almost enchanted, gleaming in the sunlight.
'Did you know they were summoned to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts? I wouldn't like to face something like that.'
She stared for at them for moment, trying to imagine them walking on the Grounds, sword in hand killing every Death Eater they could. Were they scared? Confident?
'Just imagine dying like this' she said holding both her hands in the air as if holding a sword and swished it in front of Holly's neck. 'At least you die on the spot. Wow, that's a sad thought.'
The legendary Battle of Hogwarts. What was it like? The mere thought of it made Charlotte uneasy. At least now they knew nothing like that would ever happen.

Holly sits down next to Charlotte, leggs crossed, she didnt know these knights were summoned to attack 'death eaters' she also didnt know about the battle of hogwarts and who 'death eaters' really are, she might be a half blood but her father never told her about the world of magic until she accidentally found his wand. She knew just as much, or even less about the history of this place than any ordinary muggle.
"D-Death eaters? Who are they? Some edgy occult of wizards? Or are they..."
Holly shows a genuine frown as a shiver crawls down her spine
"W-were they cannibalistic wizards?"
Hilly hated the idea of cannibalism, it grossed her out everytime she thinks about it and she starts rubbing her wrists in frustration. Being the 'wise ravenclaw student' she was she doesnt realize the fact that it this is just a name and her thoughts didn't make sense.
Holly clearly starts to freak out and backs into the corner of the room.
"Charlotte, I'm scared.... a-are you one of them? Be honest, Char, y-you are so nice to me for... no reason, and i didnt help you with anything are you one of those cannibals? Are you going to eat me? This whole time Charlotte?"
Holly shows her vunerable side, allowing her case of stress based paranoia to kick in and take the wheel, Holly knew she looked ridiculous. And blushes a little as she backs further into the corner, preparing to shield herself if her friend decides to eat her.
After a minuate or two her heavy breathing fades as she shifts her gaze to Charlotte's frightened and worrued face, the same fear that she sees in her old classmates eyes everytime she freaks out like this. This, this is why she had little to no friends when she was little.
"no... not again..."
She sighs as she thinks and calms down a little, with a shaky voice she whispers to Charlotte.
"S-Sorry... im not a huge fan of... cannibals. Um.... I'll... just let you carry on about the holy battle and the... death eaters."
She blushes more as she looks in the corner, unable to meet Charlotte's gaze, her hair was also a mess from all the pulling from the stress.

As Holly backed into the corner, Charlotte tilted her head, not fully understanding what went on here.
"Charlotte, I'm scared.... a-are you one of them? Be honest, Char, y-you are so nice to me for... no reason and I didn't help you with anything are you one of those cannibals? Are you going to eat me? This whole time Charlotte?"
Oh.
Charlotte smiles sweetly as tears started filling up her eyes. She wanted to hug Holly but thought it maybe wasn't the right moment to do so.
'Aww, Holly... I swear I'm not a cannibal.' she says raising her hands in front of her. 'Death Eaters were Vol-- He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named disciples in some way. An army too. Nothing to do cannibalism, they were against Muggle-Borns, wanted to kill every last one of them. A little like Hitler with Jews... It was a -- a dark time. Harry Potter killed him, to make it short. Surely you've heard of Vol-- Him?'
A warm smile on her face, she stood up to go sit near Holly, slowly, not to scare her even more. She sat down, putting her head on her shoulder.
'I'm nice to you because you seemed in need of a friend. I was too. You're really a fabulous person and I'm lucky to count you as one of my friends. Really, I mean it. You can trust me, I swear. I would never lie to you, can't even think of betraying you.' she smiled as she looked down, trying to reassure Holly as best as she could.
She sighed, hoping Holly felt better now. Holly really felt like a close friend to Charlotte and she would be devastated if she didn't trust her anymore.

As Charlotte explains who death eaters actually are, especially when Charlotte mentions Hitler and the Nazi, she calms down almost instantly. No cannibalism. Great. Cannibalism was one of the few things that Holly feared the most, it was just... too messed up to eat your own kind. Holly quickly puts on a shy smile.
"Oh. Now i feel dumb. Alright. So just... minions of some sort. Whew. Okay. Ummm im sorry for that...... thing i did. Um... the idea of cannibals in school was just too messed up. I really really do trust you. Paranoia's a jerk."
Holly quickly holds Charlotte's hand to show that she wasnt thinking straight from the fear and paranoia, Holly deeply trusted Charlotte, as she is indeed the nicest of all the nice people Holly met in Hogwarts, Holly surely didnt want to scare her away, Holly also finds Charlotte's dicision to stay really suprising and really nice. Her heart warmed up, as her smile shines more and more.
As Charlotte attempts to calm Holly ensuring that she wasn't going to eat her alive, Holly giggles and feels like sunshine and flowers.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwww... thank you Charlotte... I would do anything for you. I owe you a lot.
"Wow. She's the first non-family who actually cares about me!"
Holly thought, smiling until she heard 'Vol' the hunger for knowledge causes Holly to lean in and shift her smile into a confused, yet curious frown.
"Vol-the-who-now? Harry Potter? Who are they?"
Indeed her wizard of a dad did go through this dark age of death and horror, that's why he decided to become an accountant instead of staying close to magic. He swore off magic, only using it against others when absolutely needed. He, of course did want his daughter to live a normal, muggle life and enjoy the childhood that she deserves. But Holly found his wand, unable to stop Holly, he let her go to Hogwarts, but didnt tell holly anything about the history and pass of hogwarts.

Charlotte was a little taken aback when she heard Holly knew nothing about Harry Potter. He was, after all, one of the most famous wizards, he killed Voldemort. She cleared her throat before answering.
'Harry Potter is the wizard who killed --' she stopped a moment, biting her lip. 'Who killed Voldemort.' she shivered. 'Voldemort killed both his parents after hearing some sort of prophecy and failed to kill Harry, leaving with nothing else than a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Everyone thought he was dead until Harry came to Hogwarts, where he tried killing him again. He failed every time, obviously. He was the one who unleashed the Basilisk, the monster from the Chamber of Secrets. Nobody believed Harry when he said he was back, and he was left to fight along with a small group of people. Vol -- He managed to even infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and eventually controlled Hogwarts. Basically, in 1998 -- I think it was -- There was this massive battle here, on the school grounds between the Death Eater and the School. It was a blood-bath. Harry killed Voldemort and all was well. Kind of.' she said, frowning a little, a sad look on her face.
She couldn't help but be grateful that she didn't have to live this. Hopefully, nothing like that would ever happen again, and she would get to live a happy and safe life.
She felt Holly hold her hand, and Charlotte put her other hand around them, to reassure her. Holly was very complex to Charlotte. She seemed a little broken and melancholic but at the same time, she felt full of life and joy. Staring blankly into the plethora of trophies, she felt lucky to have a friend like her.
