I don't own anything.
They unlocked the door and rushed in. Two girls, both with dark hair, were crouching up against a wall, one cowering behind the other. It was Phoenix and Granger. Phoenix threw hex after hex and curses as well, but they were not strong enough, she would need to do proper wrist movements for that. Granger just stood, paralyzed in fear.
The bathroom was in dismay. Everything had been shattered or split in two. Then Pansy did something completely and utterly idiotic.
"Hey, ugly!" she called, chucking a bit of plumbing at the troll's back to get its attention.
Crabbe and Goyle ran at the troll and started kicking and punching its legs. Daphne, Theo, Blaise and Pansy kept on chucking things at it. Granger started doing that two. Phoenix continued with the hexes but she was tiring.
Draco suddenly jumped onto the troll and climbed up to its head. The troll shook its head and tried to bash him with its club, as if trying to swat a fly, but he held on. He plunged his wand up its nose. The troll dropped its club in surprise.
Granger was on it like a gun. She levitated the club up. Draco jumped down then she dropped the club on its head. The troll fell down like a domino. He pulled his wand out of its nose.
"Eew! Troll bogies!" Theo disgustedly announced.
"Yes, thank you, Theo." said Phoenix. "Thank you for rescuing me and Hermione."
"Thank you for saving me. I hope we can be friends, even though we're in different houses." Hermione said shyly.
"I owe you an apology. Before I thought you were a half-blood busybody but there's more to you than that. I think we can be friends." Draco smiled.
"Oh my gosh!" Professor McGonagall was standing at the door, some other teachers behind. "What has happened here?"
"It was my fault Professor McGonagall. I thought I could handle a mountain troll, you know, because I've read all about them. Phoenix, Pansy, Daphne, Draco, Blaise, Theo, Crabbe and Goyle came to rescue me." said Hermione. Phoenix's jaw dropped. Hermione Jean Granger, telling a downright lie to a teacher?
"Miss Granger, you foolish girl! How could you even think you could take on a fully grown troll?! Five points from Gryffindor!"
She paused. "I suppose I should give points to you. Five points to each of the Slytherins. Now please head back to your dorms." She marched off.
There are some things that you cannot do without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a mountain troll is one of them. From that day on, Hermione Granger was their friend.
Woo hoo! Two chapters in one day (London Time)! As always, tell me what you think. I love all reviews.
