Sam Pov:
Halloween was quickly arriving. Hermione and I were still competing to try getting top of the class, but I abandoned, getting annoyed of revising so much. I had written 7 times to mum and dad, 18 to Mimi and 11 times to Alex.

The day of 31st October, during the morning, we had charms. Ron kept saying:
"Wingardium Leviosar!" which was wrong. So Hermione told him:
"Ronald, its LeviOsa not Leviosar!"
He rolled his eyes and said:
"Do it yourself if you're so good at it."

She pointed at the feather and said:
"Wingardium LeviOsa." and it floated to the top of the classroom. Flitwick then exclaimed:
"Look, Miss Granger's done it! 10 points to Gryffindor!" then Seamus accidentally alighted fire to his feather and needed a replacement.

After class, Ron was being horrible about Hermione:
"Honestly, she's a nightmare. 'It's LeviOsa not Leviosar' " he cruelly imitated Hermione. "No wonder she has no friends."

"Ron.." said Harry, who was speechless because Hermione had just passed them, in tears. I was furious at Ron and stopped right in front of them:
"Good job Ronald, you just made a 12 year old girl cry." and then ran after Hermione.

Ron looked rather guilty, but didnt say anything. She entered the girl's bathroom, at which I sighed and went to the great hall for the Halloween feast. The feast started and when Ron and Harry sat down, they both looked terribly guilty. I was glad.

Around 7 o'clock, Professer Quirrel ran into the hall and yelled:
"Troll! In the dungeons!" before passing out. Immediately, it seemed like chaos had broken out. Dumbledore told us to follow the prefects back to the dorms. On the way, I remembered that Hermione was still in the girls bathrooms. I ducked out of sight of Ron's brother, Percy, who was a prefect and ran towards the place where Hermione would probably still be at.

As I ran along the corridor, towards the girls' bathroom, I saw a big, ugly and tall brainless-looking troll. It entered the bathroom where Hermione was in, entered, and I heard a scream. I rushed inside.

Hermione Pov:
I'm still upset at what Ron said. I know it's silly, but what he said what true, I don't have any friends. I left the cubicle and saw a very ugly looking troll. I screamed and I saw Sam enter. The troll swung its' club and I was burried under its debris. Sam pulled me out, as Ron and Harry entered.

Then, Harry did a very stupid thing. He got onto the troll's back, and stuck his wand up its' nose. 'disgusting' i thought. Ron made the club levitate and knock-out the troll.

"Is it..dead?" I asked.
"No, just knocked out." replied Harry and Sam at the same time. Then Professer Snape, McGonagall and Quirrel arrived at the scene. Professer McGonagall asked what happened, and I lied to get the boys out of trouble:
"It was me Professer. I tried to fight the troll, as I read about them. Im sorry. If Sam, Ron and Harry hadnt arrived, I would be dead."

Professer McGonagall looked very angry and took away 5 points from gryffindor cuz of me. I left the bathroom and went back to my dorm. I wasnt exactly sure of what had happened to the others. I fell asleep a short while after.
