Chapter 4- Trolls in the Dungeons

Sorry this has taken a long time to be posted! I have just moved into a new house and been busy unpacking.

———————————————————————————

By the time we arrived at the toilets Hermione has only just noticed the massive mountain troll that is standing in the toilets. She is standing there shocked and slightly scared, with obvious signs that she had really been crying. Before Hermione could safely make her way out of the toilets the troll spots her and starts making it's way to her. Without thinking she dives into one of the toilet cubicles the troll follows her and starts destroying all the wooden doors and cubicles. The four of us are standing by the doors not really know what to do to try and help Hermione, once all the doors are destroyed Hermione has no choice but to try and find another hiding place. We all start grabbing broken bits off wood from the floor and stared throwing it at the troll in hopes to distract it long enough for Hermione to get away. We distracted it for a short period of time while Hermione made her way under the sinks Only problem is that the troll spotted her doing this and followed her smashing the sinks. " Hermione keep down" i shouted, I had to think fast. Before I could think about what to do Harry grabs his wand out his robes and starts running towards the troll grabbing ahold of his batton allowing him to get up to the trolls head. The troll starts to move around meaning Harry went with him next thing we know Harry's wand ends up the Nose of the troll. Ron, Regan and I all ewwwed, that's just disgusting. The troll again starts to move around trying to get Harry off his shoulders, the troll grabs Harry by he's feet dangling him in the air, "do something" he shouts. We all looked at each other trying to figure out something to do. Ron replys while looking around "do what". Ron grabs his wand out his robes, points it at the troll and starts to wave but can't remember the correct movements "Swish and flick"Hermione said. " Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron said as he swished and flicked his wand at the trolls batton, suspending it in the air, it eventually falling on the trolls head knocking him unconscious. Once the beast is out Hermione is finally free to come out from under the sink, she runs to us and thanks us for saving her. Harry goes to retrieve his wand from the trolls nose just in time for a few Professors to turn up. Professor McGonagall points at us and says "explain yourselves", We all started mumbling trying to come up with an excuse, " it was my fault Professor" Hermione popped up, "Miss Granger" McGonagall said waiting for a response. " you see I went looking for the troll, I read about them and thought I could handle it,but i was wrong, If Harry, Ron, Lindsey and Regan hadn't off come a found me, I'd probably be dead" Hermione admits. A strong Scottish accent replies " be that as it may,it was an extremely foolish thing to do, I would have expected more of a rational behaviour on your part, I'm very disappointed in you Miss granger, 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor, for your serious lack of judgement" she turns her head toward us "as for you 4, I just hope you realise how fortunate you are, not many first year students could take on a fully grown Mountain Troll and live to tell the tale, 5 points will be awarded to each of you, for sheer dumb luck". With that she turns and walks out of the toilets. Professor Quirrell ushers us out through his stutter.
