Percy Jackson in the Wizarding World The: Sorcerer's Lightning Bolt

Chapter 9 - Taming Trolls

Percy was just about to kill something when Professor Quirrel came sprinting into the hall, waving his arms like a windmill, and face full of terror cried at the top of his lugs "TROLL! TROLL! IN THE DUNGEONS! — Thought you ought to know."

He then sank to the floor in a dead faint.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was an uproar. It took several blue firecrackers exploding from the end of Professor Dumbledore's wand to bring silence.

Perfects," he announced, "lead your Houses back to the dormitories immediately!"

The female Gryffindor prefect stood up taking charge "Follow me! Please everyone stick together."

"How could a troll get in?" Harry asked as they climbed the stairs

"Don't ask me, they're supposed to be stupid," said Ron

"Maybe Peeves let it in for a Halloween joke," said Layla "If so he really outdid himself." 

They passed several different groups hurrying in different directions. As they made their way through confused Hufflepuffs, Percy suddenly gasped.

"Hermione, she doesn't know," Percy said "We have to go find her"

"Yeah your right," said Layla "I need to make things up with her."

Ron still seemed hesitant "Oh, all right."

The four hurried off toward the girl's bathroom with Layla leading. They had just turned the corner when they heard quick footsteps behind them. "It's Snape," Percy hissed pulling them behind a large stone griffin.

"What is he doing?" Harry whispered. "Why isn't he down in the dungeons with the rest of the teachers."

Quietly as possible, they crept along the next corridor after Snape's fading footsteps.

"He's heading off to the third floor," Layla said then to herself "What is he up to?"

Ron pinched his nose "Uhh can you smell that?" 

Percy sniffed and a nasty stench reached his nose, as bad as those flesh eating horses that he had to clean forever ago.  

And then they heard it a low grunting, and shuffling steps of gigantic feet. Percy pointed at the end of the passage to the left, something huge was moving towards them. "Guys I think we found it," he whispered

It was an ugly sight. 12 feet tall, its skin was a dull green-gray, its lumpy body like a boulder with its small bald head. It had short legs as thick as three trunks. Sure Percy had seen much much worse but this thing was disgusting. He wondered what the other were thinking. It had a wooden club, which dragged along the floor because its arms were too long.

"Guys we need to hurry," Layla said shaking Harry's sholder "It's going to the girl's bathroom. Which means..."

"Hermione!" they said together

They sprinted towards the bathroom "Come on Ron," Harry said twisting his neck.

Percy could see the bathroom with the door broken into pieces that's when they heard a high, petrified scream. "No, shit, shit" Layla cursed

Percy and Layla jumped over half a door and ran inside.

Hermione was shrinking against the wall opposite. Percy pulled out Riptide, flicked off the cap, and it turned into his sword. He swung it around experimentally, he hadn't used it in a long time and it felt good.

"Woah," Layla said taking a step back "Where did you get that?"

"Hey, you big fat lump! Over here!" Percy yelled at the troll who stopped a few feet away from Hermione. "Try to confuse it," he yelled back
