Among The Great Fight [ON HOLD]

Chapter Eight- Halloween: part 2

The foul stench filled our noises as a gigantic beast tries to smack us with a huge baseball bat. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he is trying to kill us. 

Hermione screams as I stay frozen in fear, not moving a single bone in my body. "Eliza" She screams, "watch out!" I shake my head removing the daze I was in and dashing towards the sink. I move just in time as he violently strikes his bat to where I was. Sweat pours down my face as I look to Hermione. Hermione takes cover as she places her hands above her head so that it protects her head from falling objects while she's screaming at the top of her lungs. 

My heart is pounding fast as I feel the loud beats slamming against my chest. Should I run to get help? I wonder in my head. The teachers would know what to do? Or should I test out some magic? Wait... I left my wand in the classroom. Crap. Anyways, I shouldn't leave Hermione, she terrified and I'm not blaming her. If it isn't for her, I'd do the exact same thing.  Maybe I should scream along with her? No Eliza, you will be screaming along with her. There's a freaking monster in the girls bathroom. Stupid perverted thing. 

I go ahead and scream bloody murder as If I don't then there's a 99% chance that I will get murdered along with Hermione. With that I run and take cover by Hermione by the sinks. I'd be no good distracting especially when I don't even have my wand. 

If I was a gift from the Gods, Harry and Ron show up with there eyes and mouths open. By this point the beastly thing starts smashing the sinks as we back up into the wall. "Help us!" Hermione screams. I nod agreeing with her. 

"Confuse it!" Harry screams desperately at Ron. Ron throws something at the monster and it turns away from us. As that something hit the wall and made a small noise. I feel the pressure slowly drift away as I'm not the monsters target anymore. But instead of fixing his attention towards Ron, he marks his next target on Harry. 

"Oy, pea-brain!" Ron yells as he throws yet another object at the beast. It pause turning towards Ron about ready to attack the red-head. 

"Run Ron," Harry hollers, "just run!" This time Hermione and I are huddle up next to each other. I can feel her shaking as I'm sure she can feel me doing the same. Are mouths are wide open and I'm sure flies are going find their way in them as the smell is so terrible it is already attracting them. 

The monster turns his head turns Harry as he seems confused as to which of them he would go after. 

It roars loudly and starts to make his way towards Ron as Harry jumps his way onto the trolls back. He tightens his arm around his neck. My vision begins to blur so I close my eyes and sit down dragging Hermione along with me. I can hear crash and banging and yelling. Oh how I love this school. I begin to think. 

I feel a tap and I reopen my eyes as I see the monster on the ground knocked out. Wow they beat up an ugly beast that tried to not only kill me, but my friend Hermione as well. How can I not be friends with them? How do I pretend that they aren't my friends? How do I tell them that life freaking sucks balls. "...dead?" I hear Hermione ask. I quickly zone back in as I hear a range of footsteps sprinting quickly. 

"Eww troll boogers." Ron says disgustedly.  A bunch of professors shows up in the bathroom looking nervous and confused. "What on earth were you all thinking?" McGonagall says angerly. "You are lucky you weren't killed. Now why are you not in your dormitories?" Snape glances towards Harry giving him a cold look then notices me and seems slightly surprise. Hermione speaks up explaining to McGonagall that they were only looking for her as she wanted to defeat the troll looking monster thing and if they haven't then she would be dead. 

"And what about Miss Griswold?" She asks sternly. I clear my throat. "I had to use to restroom so I came in here then the monster shows up. I am very thankful that Hermione showed up then Ron and Harry as I would be the one laying on the floor right now."  She nods and takes a moment of silence. "Hmm, I shall inform your parents on this. They will need to know." Professor Snape says eagerly jumping at the opportunity to say something.  

My hands are still shaking- no cross that, my body is shaking as now I feel all weird and crappy. My heart is tingling as well as my whole body. I want to scream out, but I can't. I won't. 

"Five points will be taken from both of you." Professor McGonagall says, "I am very disappointed in you two." 

I sigh and frown knowing that it could be worse, but I look around seeing professor Quirrell sitting on the toilet and Professor Snape staring at me with his beaty black eyes. 

"But I shall reward you all with ten points as not many first years can say they taken down a full-grown mountain troll. Now scatter along." 

With that I race down to the common room, but before I say thank you to Harry and Ron. I could see them smiling as they are now saying good things about Hermione. I smile in return feeling a heart wrenching tug, pulling at my heart. 

When I reach the common room, all eyes all staring at me. I see two in particular as they rush to hug me. I am being swooshed in the process."I thought you were a goner!"
