"Do you hear that?" I asked Hermione.

We were still in the bathroom. I heard something loud coming our way.

"What's that?"

"Whatever it is, it smells horrible." I joked.

Hermione laughed but then completely froze. I looked where she was staring at.
It was a horrible sight. It was twelve feet tall, had a dull skin and on top of his ginormous body there was a tiny head.
It carried a huge wooden club with them.

At a sudden moment the door locked. We were locked in with the troll.

"Hermione unlock the door we need to get out!" I screamed, but Hermione was still frozen. "Hermione I can't do the unlocking charm, you need to do it!"

Then the door unlocked and Harry and Ron ran inside.

"Guys we need to get Hermione out!" I told them.

The troll was knocking off the sinks me and Hermione were sitting under. I tried pulling Hermione towards the door as I felt something really sharp cut into my skin. I looked at my arm and saw a piece of the broken sink in there. I tried to ignore the pain and went on pulling Hermione away from the troll. 

"Confuse it!" Harry said desperately to Ron and he threw a tap at the wall.

The troll stopped a few meters in front of us, turned and started walking to Harry.

"Oy, pea-brain!" Yelled Ron from the other side.

The troll paused again and went for Ron.

"Come on, run, run!" Yelled Harry at Hermione and me.

"She can't move!" I yelled back.

The troll was very confused by all the echoes but then went for Ron, who had no way to escape. Harry ran towards the troll and jumped on. He was hanging on the trolls neck and Harry's wand had gone up into the troll's nose. The troll was howling in pain,  grabbed Harry and tried hitting him with its club.

"Do something!" He yelled.

"What?" Asked Ron.

"Anything!"

Hermione got her voice back and said. "Swish and flick!"

Ron swished and flicked his wand. "Wingardium leviosa!"

The troll's club flew into the air and fell down on its head. The troll fell down on the floor with a loud bang and for a moment we all just stood there in shock.

Hermione was the first one to say something. "Is it- dead?"

"I don't think so," said Harry "I think it's just knocked out." He bent down and pulled his wand out of the troll's nose. "Urgh, troll bogies." He wiped it on the troll's trousers.

Then loud footsteps came our way. Mcgonnagal, Snape and Quirrell came in and looked at us and the troll in disbelief.

"What on earth were you thinking of? You're lucky you weren't killed. Why aren't you in your dormitory?" Mcgonnagal said with cold fury in her voice.

"Please professor, they were looking for us." said Hermione and she stood up.

"Miss Granger!"

I was still sitting under the pile of broken sinks and toilet rooms.

"I went looking for the troll because I - I thought I could deal with it on my own - you know, because I've read all about them. If they hadn't found me, I'd be dead right now. Harry stuck his wand up in its nose and Ron knocked it out with its own club. They didn't have time to fetch anyone. It was about to finish me off when they arrived."

Then professor Mcgonnagal took 5 points from Gryffindor but gave Ron and Harry both 5 points which meant we didn't get into trouble.
She told them to leave when Harry remembered me.

"Jade was here too, she tried to save Hermione. I don't know where she is now."

"She was trying to protect me, if she's not standing here it means she's still under that pile of ravage." Hermione said and quickly ran up to me and started to remove everything covering me.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, Kinda. I got this thing in my arm."

She looked at my arm and shivered at the look of the big piece of porcelain cut into my arm.

"We need to get her to the Hospital wing!" Hermione yelled and Harry and Ron tried to take a closer look but professor Snape sent them away.

Mcgonnagal took me to the Hospital wing where madame Pomfrey healed my wound so I could go to the Gryffindor common room.
