"Ron x Chicken equal Chickron!" you yelled gleefully as Ron ate another drumstick.

"No," Ron grunted through a full mouth.

You giggled at the sight of him. "Face it, Ron, chicken is your one true love..."

You swooned dramatically, blowing kisses at Ron and making hearts with your hands around him and his half-finished drumstick.

"You, my friend, are terrible!" Ron shook his head after swallowing.

"I know," you smirked.

Harry was laughing, watching the entire mini battle.

Suddenly the doors burst open. Professor Quirrell came running in, panting and looking as white as a sheet.

The entire Great Hall went silent.

"What is it?" Dumbledore asked, standing up.

Finally Quirrell spoke.

"TROLL!" he screeched, utterly terrified, "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!"

And with that, he fainted.

There was silence for a few second, then -

"WHAT? TROLL? DID HE SAY TROLL?"

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!"

"SHUT UP, I PLAN ON SACRIFICING YOU!"

"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"

"WELL, I'M TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE!'

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore bellowed.

Everyone looked up, bewildered.

Dumbledore spoke soothing words, somehow still sounding authoritative.

"Everyone head back to their Dormitories," Dumbledore finished.

The students stood up, still panicking and bustled back to their respective Dormitories, the chatter never dying down.

"Wait!" you grabbed Harry's and Ron's arms, "Hermione!"

Their eyes widened in surprise.

"Didn't she run to the Girl's Lavatory once I...uh...once I made her...um...cry?" Ron asked.

"Yes," you nodded urgently.

"...she doesn't know about the troll!" Harry realized.

"I know that!" you practically yelled at him, hysteric, "Which is why we really need to go tell her now!"

"Uh...(Y-) - (Y/N)...?" Ron stuttered, pointing behind you.

"What?" you snapped, then turned around.

There was a giant bulk behind you, and it had a club. You assumed that it couldn't be good.

"...oh..." you squeaked.

Someone grabbed your arm and pulled you towards them behind a pillar with a torch, clamping a hand gently over your mouth. You relaxed once you realized it was Harry. The troll walked past the three of you, but paused to admire an open door. He stuck his head inside, then eventually walked in. You, Harry and Ron all rushed to slam the door shut behind the troll. You and Ron highfived, all of you looking proud of yourself.

Until you heard a high-pitched scream come from that room with the closed door.

Furrowing your eyebrows, you checked for any sign at the door. Your eyes widened when you found what you were looking for.
