The boys quickly locked the bathroom door a triumphant look on their faces. Jada and I exchange a look while Jada face palms quickly.
"You do realize this is the girls bathroom right? Where Hermione was crying." Jada states my eyes widening as we hear a very loud female scream. Ron and Harry shared a comical 'oops' look and quickly unlocked the door and they all rushed inside. Hermione was huddled under one of the bathroom sinks, bloodshot eyes staring up at the 20 ft. tall troll in fascinated horror.
"Oi, pea brain! Ron shouted, chucking a piece of debris at "Pea Brain's" head. This distracted the lumbering beast long enough for Hermione to scramble a few feet away.
"Hermione!" I called running over to my sisters side.
"Leanne? How'd you know I was in here?" My sister asks her eyes wide still on the troll. I smile sheepishly.
"I've got ways." I murmur.
"Look out!" Harry yelled at us just as the trolls club comes flying down onto the sink. Hermione and I let out screams as we have to move out of the way. Harry runs and jumps onto the troll's shoulders holding on for dear life as it starts trying to look over its shoulders. Harry was almost thrown off as he sticks his wand up its nose.
"Yuck!" Jada, Ron, and I said in unison. The troll snorts in discomfort and pried Harry of his back and held him up by the ankle. The troll tried bashing him over the head with his club and Harry ducked out of the way.
"Do something!" he shouted. Out of nowhere, a small barn owl, smaller even then Precious, swooped in and started clawing at the trolls eyes. The thug bellowed and started swatting at the owl with his club like it was a bothersome horsefly. Ron takes his own wand out ready to cast a spell.
"Swish and flick!" Hermione reminded him.
"Winguardiam leviosa" Ron calls out. The club comes to a halt over the trolls head and the troll continued swinging when he realizes his club stopped moving. It looks up just as the club dropped and hit him in the head.
"Wicked." Ron exclaims as the troll starts to falling dropping Harry in the process. Ron ran to Hermione and I as the troll toppled to the ground right where we had been standing seconds ago. Harry walks up to the troll and pulls his wand out if it's nose.
"Ugh troll boggies." Harry whined and tried wiping it off on his robes. Hermione looked around in confusion.
"Where did Jada go? I could have sworn she was here a moment ago..." I looked around at the demolished bathroom.
"She was," I said. "She was just here." The owl, which had been sitting on the only remaining sink with a very self satisfied fluf to its feathers, hooted at them reproachfully. I gave the owl a weird look.
"Jada...?" I say slowly. Ron, Harry, and Hermione stared at me like I grew another head.
"WHAT?"
The owl stared at the floor intently in a matter a seconds, the feathers melted away and she grew to be sitting on the sink completely back to normal. She opened her mout to saw something but was interrupted as the door flew open and professor Snape, professor Quirl, and professor McGonagall came in.
"What are you guys doing in here!?" Professor Mcgonagall asked eyeing us all in turn.
"We uh we were-" Harry started by Hermione interrupted.
"They saved my life. If it weren't for them. I'd probably be dead. I went looking for the troll I read about them. I thought I could handle but I was wrong." She murmurs looking at he ground. I have my sister's hand a squeeze gently.
"5 points. From Gryffindor." Professor Mcgonagll states then looks at Jada Harry Ron and I.
"5 points to each of you guys as well. For sheer dumb luck." She says before turning and leaving as we slowly follow he professors out.
"Leanne. With me. I'll take you back to the Slytherin dormitory." Snape mutters not turning around.
"Yes sir." I murmur saying goodbye to the group and my sister. I slowly follow behind Professor Snape waiting for a speech or questioning as to why I was in the bathroom and not the dorms. But there was none. We walked in silence to the dorms and quietly approached the stone door. The chatter of the other Slytherin's could be heard through the door. Snape says the password and we slip inside. I look around the common room to see if I could spot the familiar blonde hair. I smile and run up and wrap my arms around him tightly he gives me a hug in return laying his chin on the top of my head seeing as he was already taller than me.
"Where were you?" He murmurs quietly not letting me go.
"I uh I Umm defeated the house troll...with some help" I murmur hugging him slightly tighter afraid he'll let go and never come back.
"I'm glad you're still alive." He whispers.
