The Boy Who Wanted to Live

Inconsequential

"Oooohhhh" Harry whimpered quietly, following Ron down the hall "Ronnn I don't know about thissss"
"Quiet" Ron shushed, looking sneakily around the halls.
"Ron don't man. Come on," Harry whimpered more "let's go backkkk"
Ron stopped and looked at Harry annoyed.
"Go back if you're so scared then," Ron whispered.
Harry shook his head and held on to Ron's shirt as they quietly crept towards the girls bathroom.  Ron stopped as he saw a giant troll walk by, dragging a gigantic club behind him. Harry let out a small whimper and Ron groaned in both fear and disgust. The ogre made it's way into a room and Ron ran towards the door.
"Ron, wait!" Harry called after Ron.
Ron ignored his friend and slammed the room door closed and locked it. Harry ran up to his friend and sighed.
"Come on, Ron said with a breath of relief "let's go tell Dumbledor-"
Ron was cut off by the sound of two loud screams from behind the door.
"Ron! Someone is in there!" Harry said, pulling on the door handle.
Ron stood frozen, listening to the horrified screams of kids their age. Harry pulled against the door ring with all his strength.
"Ron!" He yelled, looking back at his friend "Ron help me!"
Ron snapped out of his stuppor and unlocked the door quickly yanking it open to reveal a flooded mess of a bathroom. Hermione and Draco were crawling along the soaking floor as the troll swung the heavy wood club with all his might into the bathroom stalls behind them. Harry jumped as wood scattered over his friends and ran towards the beast.
"Harry!" Ron called out, showing concern for his friend for the first time that night.
Harry slid under the troll's legs and pulled out his wand to point it at the beast.
"Imperio" a voice similiar to Harry's spat from Harry's mouth.
Harry watched as clouds filled his mind and the Troll put down it's club and punched into it's own chest, tearing through it's skin and violently ripping out it's own heart without a sound. The fog in Harry's mind lifted and Harry stared at his wand, confused. The troll also regained consciousness and looked at it's bloody hand before falling to it's knees and collapsing from blood loss.
Harry looked up at Ron with a look of terror and saw the same look on his friends face. Terror mixed with pride. Ron's horrified face slowly twisted into a smile and he laughed, kicking the troll's ribs before russling Harry's hair.
"Ha ha!" He shouted with glee "That's what I'm talking about! No one can defeat Harry fucking Potter!" He yelled with triumph.
"What happened?" Harry asked confused.
Hermione sat up from the floor horrified at the amount of blood that was slowly spreading. Harry turned and looked at her tear flooded face.
"What happened?" Harry asked again as Ron gave out a loud yawp.
"You killed it" Hermione whispered, terror in her eyes.
Draco sat up and rubbed the back of his head in irritation, jumping when he saw Ron jumping on the Troll's back in humour.
Foot steps rushed towards the bathroom and all four students looked up as several teachers ran into the bathroom, terror on their faces as they saw the four students splattered with blood.
