Riddling Silver Eyes (Book 1)

TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!

A feast takes place in the Great Hall. It is Halloween. Everyone is eating candy, and Jack O'Lanterns are keeping the place lit. There is chatter. Vivienne is picking at her steak, her coke swinging in her soft hand and she places it down with a clunk.
"Where's Hermione?" She hears Harry ask the Gryffindor table.
Beside him, Ron has two chicken drumsticks in each hand, stuffing his face without a care in the world.
Neville turns to him, "Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon...crying."
Vivienne looks at Ron and Harry, each exchanging glances.
"What floor, Neville?" She shout from her side of the room.
He shrugs.
Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes flying into the room, screaming.
TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!" He stops and there is utter silence, "thought you ought to know." He falls over in a dead faint.

The room is silent, and then everyone freaks, screaming and running. Draco screams like a girl, dropping his food and grabbing Vivienne.
"Oi, let go! Your crushing my wrist!" Vivienne shrieks, swiping away her arm.
"Quick, let's leave," he yells and rushes for the door.
"SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE!" Everyone stops when Dumbledore yells, his voice filling the hall. "Everyone will please, not panic. Now, Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons."
Vivienne looks at the teacher's table quickly, spotting Snape looking aghast, and he disappears through a doorway.

Vivienne follows her house, beside Draco to the dungeons. Her mind wanders to Hermione and where she is. She soon gets a feeling of danger in her gut, quickly she slips away to find the Gryffindor's.
She slips in and out of hallways, no luck. She hears the annoying voice of an older Weasley and follows his shouting. At the back of the Gryffindor crowd, there is Ron and Harry with a worrying look on their faces.
"Hey!" She shouts cause the boys to stop and turn to her. She runs and falls into step with them.
"How could a troll get in?" Asks Harry, fear painting his face.
"Not by itself. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes," scoffs Ron, his eyes narrowing at Vivienne slightly.
Suddenly, Harry stops. He pulls Ronald Vivienne aside.
"What?" Inquires Vivienne worried, she reads Harry's candle lit face, instantly and her face falls.
"Hermione! She doesn't know!"

The three run off, down corridors. They start running down a hall when they stop, because there is a grunting noise. Harry pulls his friends into a doorway and a large, ugly beast with grey skin and bumps all over thunks by into a room.
"He's going into the Girl's Bathroom!" Shouts Harry.

Vivienne runs ahead of the boys, desperately trying to get to her friend. She burst into the bathroom, seeing Hermione emerge from a stall, wiping her eyes. She stops when she sees something.

The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up, into the stall just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. Vivienne stands there hearing Hermione scream. Harry and Ron come bursting in.
"Hermione, move!" Yells Harry.
The troll smashes the remaining stalls.
"Help! Help!" Cries the girl in the broken stalls.
Vivienne scrambles to the other side of the room to find Hermione. When she is found, Vivienne says," don't worry, we got you!"
She can the boys start throwing wood pieces at the troll, the wreckage falling to the floor.
"Hey, pea brain!" Ron yells, as he throws wood and hits the troll on the head.
Vivienne's eyes move to the floor, noticing movement from Hermione.
She escapes from the stalls to under a sink, but the troll sees her and goes to smash her. It cracks the sink and barely misses Hermione. Harry cringes.
"Ahhh! Help!" She shouts, Vivienne scrambling to help her at the sinks.
Harry gets out his wand. He runs forward and grabs the troll's club, and is lifted up. Vivienne watches, her eyes wide and she wonders at his stupidity, "go for the head!" She shouts.
"Whooa! Whoa, whoa!" Harry lands on the troll's head, and is hurled forward, then back, and his wand goes up the troll's nose.

"Ew," exclaims Ron.
"Yuck!" Gags Vivienne, she crouches beside Hermione, "that's something we will never want to see again!"
The troll snorts, and whips around.
"Whoa, whoa whoa!" Shouts Harry.
The troll gets Harry off its head and is holding him by one leg, upside down. It lifts up its club and swipes at Harry. He pulls himself up, then down. The troll swipes again.
"Do something!" Shouts Harry, upside down as the troll swipes again.
"What?" Shouts Ron as Harry is swiped at again.
"Anything! Hurry up!"
Ron grabs his wand. Under the sink, Hermione waves her hand. "Swish and flick!" She instructs and Vivienne holds her tongue to stop herself from freezing the beast.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron says clear as flicks his wand.
The club is lifted out of the troll's hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks up, confused, just as the club comes crashing back down.
Ron looks at it in amazement, "cool."
It hits the troll's head and the troll wavers, then drops Harry, who crawls away, and comes crashing down, hard.

Hermione and Vivienne approach carefully.
"Is it...dead?" Hermione asks, fear in her voice and concern in her eyes.
I don't think so. Just knocked out," Harry says and looks at the slumbering troll. He grabs his wand...which is covered in goo, "ew. Troll bogies."
Vivienne looks at the troll, she notices his rages and how his teeth poke out of his ugly mouth.
Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell come rushing in. They all gasp.
"Oh! Oh, my goodness! E-Explain yourselves, both of you!" McGonagall stutters with fear, her eyes darting between the children.
"Well, what it is..." says Harry and Ron, but they are cut off by the girls
"It's my fault, Professor McGonagall," says Hermione.
The teachers, along with Ron and Harry, gape at them.
"Miss. Granger?" Pries McGonagall.
"I went looking for the troll. We'd read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't come and found us...we'd probably be dead," Vivienne explains dramatically and looks to the boys with a wink.
"Be that as it may...it was an extremely foolish thing to do," McGonagall says.
Vivienne and Harry look at Snape's leg...which has a large cut on it. Snape notices and covers it up, glaring at Harry.
"I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part, Ms. Granger. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. As well as Slytherin. As for you two gentlemen I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students could take on a full grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points...will be awarded to each of you. For sheer dumb luck." Snape and McGonagall exit.
Snake turns to Vivienne, "can you assist in freezing the beast?" He asks monotoned to the girl.
"Yes, sir," she pulls out shiny, black wand, "Petrifcus Totalus!" A light floats out the end and the troll goes a deeper grey.
"Perhaps you ought to go...M-might wake up...heh," suggest Quirrell to the three.
With an extra glance, Vivienne leads Ron, Harry and Hermione out of the room. She hears the Troll roar and the Professor squeal.
