Emily Sheridan and the Philosophers Stone

Halloween!!!

That Halloween night, the great hall has floating Jack O'Lanterns in place of the candles. Harry notices an empty spot on the bench.

"Where's Hermione?" asked Harry

"Yeah and what about my girlfriend" asked Steven

" Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon...crying. As for Emily I don't know" said Neville 

Harry glances at Ron with a disapproving look on his face; Ron shrugs. Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes running into the Great Hall in panic. 

"TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!! [Dumbledore rises from his seat in concern. Everyone look at Quirrell and he stops and there is utter silence.] Thought you ought to know.

[He passes out. The room is silent, and then everyone freaks out, screaming and running.]" said Professor 

"SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE! [Everyone stops and calms down.] Everyone will please, not panic. Now, Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons." said Professor Dumbledore 

Snape looks aghast, and he walks out through a doorway. A bit later, Percy is leading the house down a corridor.

Harry's POV: "Gryffindors, keep up please. And stay alert!" said Percy

"How could a troll get in?" I asked

"Not by itself. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes. [Suddenly, Harry stops and pulls Ron aside.] What?" said Ron

"Hermione and Emily! They don't know!" I said

[The two separate themselves from the crowd. They run down corridors. They start running down a hall when they stop, because there is a grunting noise and a large shadow on the wall.] 

"I think the troll's left the dungeon!

[Harry pulls Ron and Steven into a doorway, they peer out to see a large, ugly troll thunks by into a room.]" said Steven 

"It's going into the Girl's Bathroom!"said Ron 

[In the bathroom, Hermione and Emily emerges from a stall, wiping her eyes. She stops when she sees something. The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up, into the stall just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. Hermione screams, Emily face is pale. Harry and Ron and Steven come bursting in.]

Emily's POV's: "Hermione and Emily, move!" I heard Harry yell 

[The troll smashes the remaining stalls.]

"Help! Help! [The boys start throwing wood pieces at the troll.]" said Hermione

"Hey, pea brain! [Steven throws wood and hits the troll on the head. Hermione escapes from the stalls to under a sink, but the troll sees her and goes to smash her. It cracks the sink and barely misses Hermione but get me and now my left arm is sore.Harry cringes.]" said Steven 

"Ahhh! Help!" Said Hermione

I'm just barley holding onto life right now

[Harry gets out his wand. He runs forward and grabs the troll's club, and is lifted

"Whooa! Whoa, whoa! [He lands on the troll's head, and is hurled forward, then back, and his wand shoots up the troll's nose.]" said Harry 

"Ew" said Ron

Ron and Hermione were disgusted by Harry's wand in the troll's nose. The troll snorts, and whips around.

"Whoa, whoa whoa!

[The troll gets Harry off its head and is holding him by one leg, upside down.]" said Harry 

"Do something!" Said Steven 

[It gears up its club and swipes at Harry. He pulls himself up, then down. The troll swipes again.]

" What? [the troll swipes at Harry repeatedly]" asked Ron

"Anything! Hurry up!" Said Harry 

[Ron grabs his wand. Under the sink, Hermione waves her hand.]

"Swish and flick!" said Hermione

"[correctly punctuating the words]Wingardium Leviosa! [Flick. The club is lifted out of the troll's hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks up, confused, just as the club comes crashing back down.] Cool. [It hits the troll's head that hard and the troll wavers, then drops Harry, who crawls away, and slowly comes crashing down, knocking him out. Hermione approaches carefully and Emily just barley holding onto Steven.]" said Ron

"Is it...dead?" asked Hermione

"I don't think so. Just knocked out. [He grabs his wand...which is covered in mucus.]Ew. Troll bogies." said Harry 

Harry wipes his wand on his robes. Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell come rushing in. They all gasp at the knocked out troll.

"Oh! Oh, my goodness! E-Explain yourselves, three of you!" said Professor McGonagall

"Well, what it is..." we started but than got cut off by Hermione

"It's my fault, Professor McGonagall. [The teachers, Ron and Harry and Steven look at her.]

"Miss Granger?" asked McGonagall

"I went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry and Ron and Steven to find Emily hadn't come and found me...I'd probably be dead." said Hermione

"Be that as it may be...it was an extremely foolish thing to do. [Harry notices Snape's leg, which has the trousers' leg torn and a large cut on it. Snape notices and covers it up, glaring at Harry.] I would have expected more rational behavior on your part, Miss Granger. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. [she turns to Harry and Ron] As for you three gentlemen I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points...will be awarded to each of you. [Harry and Ron grin at each other] For sheer dumb luck." said McGonagall

Snape and McGonagall leave the bathroom

"Perhaps you ought to go...M-might wake up...heh. [Harry, Ron and Hermione, Steven and Emily exit the bathroom. Quirrell looks at the unconscious troll. The troll growls, seemingly going to wake up.] Ahh! Hehe...." said Quirrell

Harry, Ron and Hermione, Steven and Emily are walking back to the Gryffindor Common Room through the corridor.

"[to Hermione] Good for you to get us out of trouble like that." said Steven

"Mind you, I mean, we did save her life." said Ron

"Mind you, she didn't need saving if you hadn't insulted her." said Harry

Hermione looks at Ron.

"What are friends for?" said Ron

They both smile at each other as they carry on through the corridor.
