October.....Halloween....

Things were okay. I was finally allowed into my room even though Pansy and the other girls didn't like me. I started to eat a little more on my own. I didn't want anyone sitting next to me while I eat my food. I didn't want to deal with them.

I told myself that I was going to get through the school on my own terms. If people didn't want to be friends with me, I would be fine with it. I had dealt with having very few friends. I was going to have fun on my own.

I was walking to my next class. "Alice wait!" I heard behind me. I turned around to see Harry and Ron running towards me. Once they got to me, they were catching their breaths. "Why did you call out to me?" I asked them. I was a bit upset with them.

"We are sorry for not being around. Can we still be friends?" Harry asked me. "Please," Ron said to me. I thought about it. They were nice to me in the beginning. I gave them a nod. Harry gave me an apple. "I thought you could eat a little more," he said to me. I took the apple and took a small bite of it. They were happy to see me eat the apple. We walked together to our next class.

It was time for Charms Class. I went to sit in my seat. I heard foot steps. I turned my head to find Malfoy taking his seat next to me. I turned my head back looking at the front of the class. Professor Flitwick was going to show us how to make things fly.

He asked us to get a feather from the front of the desk. I stood from my seat and went up to the table to get a feather. I took a white feather and sat back down in my seat. I saw Malfoy coming back with his feather. He was looking at me. He had no expression on his face.

Everyone had a feather on their table. "One of the wizard's rudimentary skills is levitation. Or the ability to make objects fly. Do you have your feathers. Good. Now don't forget the nice wrist movement that we've been practicing. Swish and flick, everyone" he demonstrated. "

"Swish and flick," we copied him. "Good. now enunciate, Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then," Professor Flitwich instructed us. Everyone was trying the spell. They either said the spell wrong or did their wrist movement wrong. Malfoy looked at me. I looked at my feather. "Wingardium Leviosa." I knew I did the wrist movement right.

My feather flew high up in the air. Hermione got her's to fly too. "Well done. See here everyone Miss Rochelle and Miss Granger done it. Splendid. Well done dears." he said to us. I saw a flash of light. I saw Finnigan has charred his feather. At the end of class, I walked with Ron and Harry out of class. Ron was making fun of Hermione. Hermione heard and ran off. I felt bad for her.

Dinnertime....

The Great Hall was decorated the Halloween spirit. I didn't know that Wizards and Witches celebrate the holiday. I thought that it was a American thing. I saw floating pumpkins and the dark sky. The table was filled with candy and other sweets. Of course, there were other foods.

I ate normally. I didn't think of anyone but, myself and my friends. I looked over at Harry and Ron. They were looking at me. "What's wrong?" I mouthed at them. "Hermione is in the bathroom crying," Harry mouthed back at me. I thought that she was still upset about what Ron had said after Charms class.

Suddenly, the doors opened wide. Professor Quirrel came running into the Great Hall. I saw fear and terror in his eyes."Troll in the dungeon," he yelled out to everyone as he made his way to the middle of the room.. "Troll in the dungeon," he said again. Dumbledore stood up. Everyone turned to him. "For you ought to know," he said before he fainted in the middle of the room.

All the students started to panic. I stood from my seat. I didn't panic though. I knew that it wouldn't help me. "SILENCE!" Dumbledore said to everyone. Everyone froze and went silent. "Everyone will please not panic! Now...Prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons," Dumbledore instructed everyone.

I watched as the Prefects lead the students out of the Great Hall. I waited to be in the back. Malfoy looked at me and walked passed me. Once all the Slytherins passed me, I started to follow them. Once out of the Great Hall. I saw Ron and Harry talking to each other. I walked up to them.

"What's going on?" I asked them. They turned their heads towards me. "Hermione. She doesn't know," Harry said to me. This made me worried. We ran towards the girl's bathroom. Once near the girl's bathroom we stopped. We saw a shadow of the troll.

"I think the troll's left the dungeon," Ron said to us. Harry pulled on our robes and we hid behind a wall. It's going into the girls' bathroom," Harry said. After the troll gone to the girls' bathroom, we ran toward the bathroom.

We heard a scream and something breaking. We got inside to see the troll swinging a big stick. "Hermione, move!" Harry yelled at her. We saw the troll swing it's stick again. He was breaking the stalls. "Help! Help!" we heard Hermione yell out.

Ron and Harry were throwing broken parts of the stall at the troll. "I don't think it feels it guys," I said to them. They kept throwing. "Hey, pea brain!" Ron yelled out and threw a big piece of the broken stall at it's head. It felt it and started to turn towards us.

I saw Hermione crawling under the sinks. The troll noticed and swing the stick down, breaking the sing. Luckily, Hermione moved out of the way. "Help!" she yelled out. I saw Harry taking his wand out. I took my wand out as well.

The troll was about the swing the stick again. Harry grabbed onto the stick and landed on the troll's shoulder. The troll missed the swing. The troll looked around to see who was on it's shoulder. It shook but, Harry's wand ended up it's nose.

"Eww! Gross!" I said out loud. Ron agreed with me. Eventually, the troll got Harry and hung him from his leg. "Do something!" Harry yelled at us. The troll swung it's stick and Harry managed to doge it. "What?" Ron said like he didn't know what to do.

"Anything!" Harry said and he dodged another swing. "Hurry up," Harry said with his energy draining. {He is not going to be able to dodge another swing.} Ron took his wand out. "Swish and Flick," Hermione instructed Ron.

"Wingardium Leviosa," Ron casted and the stick floated above the troll as the troll tried to swing at Harry. The troll looked up to see the stick. I took this chance to cast my own spell. I remembered a spell from a textbook. "Stupefy!" I casted towards the troll. The troll was hit and hit it's head against the wall. The stick fell to the floor.

Ron and I helped Harry up. "Where did you learn that spell?" Harry asked me. "I remembered reading it," I said to him. We walked toward the troll. "Is it dead?" Hermione asked us. "I don't think so. Just knocked out," Harry said to her.

Harry took his wand out of the troll's nose. A lot of snot came with it. We were all disgusted. "Roll boogers," Ron said in disgust. "Don't say it like that," I said to Ron. It was so gross. Harry wiped his wand with his robe.

Soon, we heard footsteps and we turned towards the doorway to see Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrel. They were in shock to see us wit the troll against the bathroom wall. Professor McGonagall was shocked the most.

"Oh my goodness! Explain yourselves, three of you!" she said to us.

{It's a long story.}
