Chapter 5: A Mountain Troll! In Hogwarts?
I gasped and froze, unsure of what to do. Run? But where? The Troll was blocking the way. It would only follow us though, which could be dangerous for the other Students. I've read about Trolls. When Trolls see something they'd like to kill, they follow it until it's dead..or until they lose it.
"Get into the Stall!" yelled Hermione. I nodded and pushed her in it. I didn't know what the Stall would do to help us, but it would at least hide us for a few seconds. Mountain Trolls were as dumb as a Brick. They only hit what they could see, which meant everything in this Room. I didn't run in myself, but instead shut the Door lightly and picked up a stray empty Toilet Roll and saw the Troll look to the side.
I quickly threw the Toilet Roll across the Room and watched the Troll turn around. Quickly rushing into the Stall, I hoped he didn't see me. "What did you do?" Hermione whispered. "Shh!" I hissed back. We didn't need the Troll to hear us, it would ruin what I just did. We listened for any Sound and heard some shuffling around. It was searching for us, but it was too dumb to find us.
Just as I thought that, I heard some stomping coming closer to us. I was just fast enough to push Hermoine and myself down onto the Floor, before the Troll smashed the Stall with a wave of his Club. Pieces of Wood came falling down on us, cutting our Faces. I threw myself down on the Floor without looking, since I didn't have enough time to find a nice place to fall down in, so I was lying on top of Hermione's left side.
"Ow!" I hissed whilst throwing the pieces of Wood away from me. The Troll saw my movement and started stomping over to us. "Move Hermione! Else we're about to be Troll Pancakes!" I screamed, before sliding over to the next unsmashed Stall. Hermione scurried after me and crouched next to the Toilet. Yummy...
I was just about to crouch down on the other side, when I was picked up and lifted into the Air. "Let me go Nostrils!" I yelled, hitting his fat Arm. It wobbled slightly, but nothing happened. It made a weird Chewbacca-like sound and threw me against the Bathroom Wall. I grunted and lay on the Floor, trying to move as little as possible. I didn't need a Headache, that would be the worst timing. Maybe Harry and Ron would come, since the School knows every little thing and secret in this Castle. News would travel fast of screaming coming from the Girl's Bathroom.
"Nixie!" I heard Hermione scream. I waved my hands dismisssively and tried to get up. It was hard but I got there at the end. The Troll was making its way over to Hermione. "Oi! Dumbass! Come here!" I yelled. I stood against the wall with shaky legs and watched the Troll rush at me.
It was quite fast, with it's big steps and all, but I was faster. I ran through its legs and hid behind a broken piece of Stall. The Troll searched for us, before stopping at my hiding spot. It groaned loudly and swung its Club at me, just missing me.
"Get some help Hermione!" Hermione rushed over to the Door and tried to open it. "It's locked! I can't get out!" she replied frantically. This was when I started to panic. We had no chance to escape or hide. The Troll destroyed everything that was possible of hiding something.
I was too busy thinking, so I didn't realize the Troll standing right behind me. "Nixie! Watch out!" Hermione screamed in terror. I gasped and turned around. I had to admit, the Troll was very ugly and stunk of rotten eggs and sewage.
I was picked up once more and was held upside down in the Air. The bathroom was turning slightly fuzzy and my Head started to pound. It was like my Brain was punching my Skull. "Put me down you stinky piece of fugly!" I said. The Troll looked at me with blank expression and swung its Club at me. I can tick off the possibility of me being a troll then. I'll have to find another reason why the whomping willow liked me.
