Halloween Yr 1:
The Halloween feast was spectacular and we were just about to set upon a second helping of dessert when Professor Quirrel came barging into the hall. He announced that a troll had snuck into the dungeons and fainted dead away. Of course, everyone screamed even Draco Malfoy. I was terrifically terrified.
It was sort of boring sitting up in the common room though, waiting to hear whether or not the troll had been caught. Fred and George Weasley were playing a really loud game of exploding snap, which didn't help with everyone's nerves already on edge. I probably should have started working on my homework, but I was convinced one hundred percent that a troll would burst in through the portrait hole at any given moment.
When we found out the coast was clear I really just wanted to get to bed, but then we all found out that Hermione, Harry and Ron had had a go at the troll and I was interested to hear the story from them. When they got back up to the common room we all stood round as they told the story and I was amazed that they would attempt something so brave.
Glad to finally be able to sleep,
Neville
