Anything

Halloween.

After making my excuses to Hermione I headed back to my blood room, as I'd taken to calling it. A suitable name for a room with blood required to enter.

Sitting in the middle of the room I started reading the books for animagus training. It was very much as complicated as my father had explained. I should be able to get the first part completed in the following month if I was lucky.

I awoke, face in a book, to realize that I would be late for class. I rushed to class. Skipping breakfast I rushed to charms with the gryffindors. Thankfully, if I had any more lessons with malfoy I'd try some new hexes.

We were studying the levitation spell. Nice and easy for a hungry morning. Hermione got it perfect and Ron had a look of disgust on his face.

I couldn't find Hermione after that class or all afternoon. It's like she locked herself away. I checked the gryffindor common room but she wasn't there. I decided to talk to her at dinner.

As we all arrived I could tell something was off. I was on edge all through the feast but nothing occurred. Just as I thought we were in the clear Quirrel burst into the room screaming about trolls. Soon enough mass panic overwhelmed the hall but Dumbledore soon had the perfects bringing us to our common rooms. Then it clicked. I was so distracted by finding Hermione I didn't think to check the map. I saw her in the girls toilets. And the troll on the same corridor. Ron and Harry following it.

I couldn't sneak out but I could inform the professor Flitwick. As soon as I had told him he was out of the common room in a flash. I followed him to McGonagall and Snape and then they charged the bathroom. The troll wasn't moving but neither were the others. Soon though they all left, and I nearly collapsed with relief.

I noticed they went to the rooms and I sent a message to Hermione via Seba. I soon received a reply explaining tonights events. She was hiding due to Ron, that git, but he along with Harry sacrificed their safety for her. Not still in my 'good books' but I have a higher respect for them now. I shall talk to them all to tomorrow.
