Demetry Dragonheart The Wizard Book 1

Chapter 5

Night had finally fallen that day at Hogwarts and as today was Halloween. Everyone was eating candy and other Halloween related food in the great hall. Jack O'Lanterns replaced the usual candles and chandeliers that illuminated the room.

"Where's Hermione?" Demetry asked amongst all the chatter in the room as he came to sit in front of Harry and Ron.

"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." Neville said.

Ron and Harry exchange glances. Harry's looking more worried while Ron's looked more guilty. Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes flying into the room screaming.

"Troll! In the dungeon! Troll in the dungeon!"

The room fell utterly quiet as everyone stopped what ever they were doing to look at him.

"Thought you ought to know." Professor Quirrell finishes as he fainted and fell to the ground.

The room was still silent until suddenly everyone began to freak out. Screaming and running around in a panic. Ravenclaws tried desperately to gather their books as their lives were more important. Slytherins pushed any and everyone in their way as they rushed towards the closest exits.

"Silence!" Dumbledore yelled getting everyones attention.

"Everyone will please, not panic. Now, Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons."

Several prefects called the attention of their houses and began leading them to their designated locations. Multiple thoughts ran through Demetry's head.

'Hogwarts is supposed to be one of the safest places ever. There's no way something as dumb as a troll managed to sneak its way inside. Not only that but Professor Quirrell should be a good enough wizard to take out the troll on his own and simply tell Dumbledore about it later. Especially seeing as he is the defense against the dark arts teacher. Ugh I wish I had someone else to help put this all together.'

Percy, Gryffindor's prefect was leading the house down a hallway when Demetry thought of the one person who could help put all these pieces together.

Hermione.

And then he remembered that she was in the bathroom and probably didn't know there was a troll walking around school. Demetry rushed to the bathroom to see not only Harry and Ron already there but the troll as well.

"Late as usual I see!" Ron yelled as Demetry almost bumped into him running into the bathroom.

"Do something!"

The two boys turned to see Harry yelling for help as the troll was holding him in the air with one hand, and trying to beat Harry with his club in the other.

"Like what?" Ron asked not sure how he could help in this situation.

"Anything!" Harry shouted as he did his best to avoid being hit by the tall dumb creature.

Demetry quickly brandished his wand, nudging Ron to do the same.

"Swish and Flick!" Hermione advised Ron from underneath a sink.

She had ran there for cover when the beast was swinging its club at her.

Together both Ron and Demetry chanted.
"Wingardium Leviosa."

Ron was able to use the spell to stop the troll's club in mid air while Demetry used it on Harry to bring him safely to the ground and towards them. The club eventually fell, only for it to hit the troll on its head. Effectively hitting it hard enough to make the tall beast lose consciousness.
