Read and Review
Over the coming few weeks, Harry and Ron tried to tell Hagrid that the child was indeed a troll. Each time holding their noses as the stench from it was getting worse.
Hermione refused to visit Hagrid until it was gone, but Hagrid didn't seem to notice. The only time she saw Hagrid was during Care of Magical Creatures, even then she was wary. Even if Kris was locked in Hagrids hut she didn't feel comfortable.
Soon, Kris was too big to stay in Hagrids hut all the time. He was as tall as Harry and Ron all ready.
Hagrid built Kris his own little dwelling out beside his pumpkin patch at the back of his hut.
One day, Kris was running around in the pumpkin patch, attacking pumpkins with a small club Hagrid had given him.
Hagrid meanwhile was teaching a class about Crups, small dog like creatures with a forked tail.
The wind picked up and blew in the direction of the class.
"What is that smell?" said Malfoy disgustedly, looking around with his nose wrinkled up.
Hagrid looked around sniffing.
"Don't know what your talkin' 'bout." he said innocently.
The rest of the class began sniffing.
"It smells like... " Malfoy began, "socks… and ...fish."
"That's what that smell was," Hermione said to Harry and Ron. She paled as she saw Kris running from the pumpkin patch, covered with bits of pumpkin.
The smell was stronger than ever.
"Eww, it's that thing." said Malfoy, pointing at Kris. "That ugly brute."
"Kind of looks like your goons," said Ron laughing.
Crabbe and Goyle began to walk up to Ron, crunching their fists on their hands.
Kris ran up to Crabbe and Goyle and grabbed them in a tight hug. When he released them, they had the horrid stench on them. They turned and ran to the safety of the castle.
Hermione was hiding behind Harry and Ron, muttering something like, "Go away, go away."
Kris then ran up to Hagrid and yelled, "Dada."
The Slytherins began holding their noses and laughing until the smell got so bad that everyone began to back away.
"Um, Hagrid." said Harry timidly. "Kris really really stinks."
"No he don'." said Hagrid. Looking at the troll, his eyes glazed over again.
Kris walked towards Harry and Ron holding his club, Hermione screamed and ran towards the castle.
Kris began to chase after her. "Mama!" he yelled.
She gave a high pitched scream and ran faster than anyone had ever seen her run before. She slammed through the front doors and ran to the door way to Dumbledore's office. Realising she didn't know the password to get in, she began dancing on her tiptoes anxiously.
"What seems to be the problem Miss Granger?" asked a calm voice behind her.
She spun around to see Dumbledore standing there.
"Hagrids got a troll." she gasped. "And it really stinks and it's
Ugly-"
"Calm down Hermione," said Dumbledore with a small smile.
"IT CALLED ME MAMA!" she yelled.
Dumbledore face contorted with horror. With a flash of his robes, he stalked out of the castle and onto the school grounds, Hermione at his heels. On the way down to Hagrids hut, they passed a group of Slytherins, Malfoy among them.
"Headmaster. PLEASE get rid of that smelly creature," said Malfoy, then he turned and continued walking back to the castle.
Dumbledore looked at Hermione, an eyebrow raised.
As they got nearer, the smell was worse than ever. Harry and Ron were still trying to tell Hagrid to get rid of the troll, holding their noses.
"But I can't abandon the little fella." Hagrid was saying.
Dumbledore and Hermione came up. Hermione hiding behind him.
"Hagrid, you must get rid of this troll immediately." Dumbledore said calmly. "The stench of…" he sniffed " Socks and fish is getting worse."
"He doesn't smell," Hagrid said quietly.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione. You might want to go, this may take a while." Dumbledore said turning to the three students.
Hermione ran off while Harry and Ron walked casually back.
Nearly three weeks later to the day, Harry, Ron and Hermione went for their usual trip down to Hagrids hut.
There was no sign that Kris had ever been there and Hagrid seemed to be back to his normal self.
"Have some rock cakes," he said.
"Err, no thanks Hagrid," the three of them said.
