Chapter 7
Aurora spent the rest of the day in the bathroom with Hermione as she cried. Hermione told Aurora about how she didn't have many friends at home either. Hermione kept insisting that she was fine and Aurora could leave her be, but Aurora stayed anyway.
The beginning of the Halloween feast came and went, but Aurora remained with Hermione. Who was still unable to face Ron. They stayed in the bathroom, but 20 minutes later they heard a clatter and shuffling noise outside. Aurora almost screamed as she saw a fully grown mountain troll outside the girls bathroom.
She put on a calm but stern face and motioned for Hermione to follow her. She walked into the stall on the very end of the row, along with Hermione, and locked it. Hermione mouthed, "What is it?"
Aurora mouthed back, "Mountain troll." Hermione's face went white as a sheet.
Draco arrived at the great hall early, he felt slightly bad about what he'd said earlier. He kept waiting but Aurora never showed. He began to worry, had what he'd said really hurt her that badly? Then Quirelle had burst in and yelled about the troll.
After Dumbledore had calmed the chaos that had ensued, he announced for the prefects to take the students to the common rooms. Nobody but Draco seemed to notice Potter and Weasley slip away from the group. Draco decided to follow them.
Hermione wimped as tue troll shuffled through the door. It began running its club along the stalls. Thump, thump, thump. The thumping grew louder as the troll got closer. Aurora put her hand firmly over Aurora's mouth as the troll hit their stall and stopped.
Suddenly it brought the club down with a crash onto the stall door. Wood splinters flew everywhere. Hermione screamed. It was all Aurora could do not to screams. Aurora grabbed the back of Hermione's robes and pulled her down and began crawling underneath the other stalls.
The troll kept smashing through the stalls. The got to the other end when they heard someone burst into the bathroom. It was Harry and Ron, followed closely by Draco, they seemed confused by his presence. Hermione let out another piercing scream as the troll smashed down their last stall.
Wood rained down upon them once more. The troll brought up his club again to smash them, but Ron yelled just in time.
"Oi! Pea brain!" He yelled. The troll turned and began lumbering towards Ron, who looked panicked now. Aurora made a split second decision, a very stupid decision.
She ran up to the back of the troll and grabbed the club just as it was about to hit Ron. She hear Hermione scream again. Aurora was vigorously shaken in an effort to get her off the club. Harry, Ron, and Draco ran at the troll, but it was too late, the troll had managed to shake Aurora's grasp.
Aurora heard everyone scream as she went hurtling towards the wall. She heard a sickening crunch and then everything went dark.
