HERE WE GO!
After the run in with the giant three headed dog, Yugi and the others tried to think about what it could possibly be guarding. When they went down for breakfast, Marik and Malfoy stared at them like they just got to the school. Surpised to see us? Yugi thought to himself. They sat down and began to eat their meal. Yugi noticed Kaiba was waving at him to come over to the Ravenclaw table. Yugi looked at the others, and went over to Kaiba. "What's up Kaiba?" he asked the brown haired duelist. Kaiba leaned so that only Yugi could hear him "Something's wrong here Yugi, I can feel something dark and evil here...ever since we got here but I can't place it. My instincts are telling me that something is going to happen," he whispered to the little duelist (hehe little, im so mean!). Yugi looked at him, nodded and went back to the table to find that some owls had dropped off four large parcels (I bet you know what they are). Brian opened one of the parcels and stared at it. Ron stared at it. "Thats a Nimbus 2000! The best model out! Who gave them to you guys?" he asked. Joey pointed behind Brian "Yo,". They turned around and saw McGonagall smile and wink at them. Harry and Yugi grinned, Brian looked over his broom, and Joey was attacked by a rogue owl. (HAHAHA SOOOO EVIL!). After breakfast, Harry, Yugi,Brian and Joey took a walk to show off their fellow Gryffindors, actually the first three were walking showing off the brooms, Joey was massaging the bumps he got when the rogue owl kept pecking him on the head. They climbed the stairs to go to the Common Room only to find the way barred by Goyle, Crabbe, Marik and Malfoy.
"What do you have there Potter?" asked Malfoy before he took the broom from his arms. Malfoy smirked "You're in for it now, Potter. First years aren't allowed broomsticks. You are out of here VERY soon,". Marik chuckled in agreement. Joey was about to grab Malfoy when a tiny wizard came walking up to them. "Any problem here boys?" Professor Flitwick asked. "These four have broomsticks, Professor!" Marik said quickly. Flitwick smiled at the four Gryffindors "Yes, Professor McGonagall told me about the special exceptions you four have. Good luck when the season starts. Practice hard and you could win the Quidditch Cup!" he said merrily as he walked off leaving the four Slytherins staring in shock. "So, Malfoy...what were you saying just now?" Brian asked him. He just scowled and walked off while the other three followed.
In Charms class, which was taught by Flitwick,Harry, Brian, Ron, Tea, Yugi and Hermione were listening to Flitwick's lecture. "Now, one of a wizards most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly. Now do you all have your feathers?" he asked looking around the class room. Hermione and Tea held up their feathers. "Now," he began "to make the feathers float, repeat the phrase Wingardium Leviosa and remember that nice flick movement we've been practicing. Off you go now," he said waving his hands a little bit. Ron took out his wand and started chanting the phrase and, well not really flicking the wand but more like he was playing drummer in a band. Hermione grabbed the wand on his umpteenth drum solo (heheh).
"Your going to take someone's eye out!" she scolded him ("YEA! That almost hit me!" said Yugi from behind Ron and Hermione) "Besides your saying it wrong, its Levi-O-sa, not Levi-OSA,". Ron scoffed "Why don't you do then, if your so clever," he said glaring. She took her wand, said the words properly and caused the feather to float in the air about three feet, then Tea's followed suit. They smiled and looked at Ron, who grumbled and looked away.
After class in the corridor, Ron was talking to Harry, Yugi and Brian. "It's levi-O-sa...not Levi-OSA!" he said mocking Hermione "She's a nightmare, honestly! No wonder she doesn't have any friends!". Someone came from behind and brushed past him, all they could see was a head of bushy brown hair. "I think she heard you," Harry said. Yugi nodded and Brian hit Ron on the head.
That night at dinner, the Great Hall was decorated with floating Jack-O'-Lanterns which hovered above the students around 10 feet. Brian and Yugi were eating when Harry noticed Hermione and Tea weren't with them. "Where's Hermione and Tea?" he asked looking up and down the table. Neville leaned over. "Parvati Patil said Hermione's been in the girls' bathroom all afternoon cryin, and Tea is trying to calm her down," he said before he went back to eating. Yugi, Brian and Harry looked at Ron. He just continued eating quietly with guilt.
Suddenly the Hall's doors burst open and Professor Quirrel came running in. "TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!" he screamed. The entire Hall grew quiet. Yugi looked over at the different tables: Serenity was frightened beyond all reason, she was clinging onto Ryou, Seto had a look of shock at this and looked over at Mokuba who was shivering, even Marik and Malfoy froze at the news. Dumbledore rose to the news, "Thought you ought to know," Quirrel said before collapsing on the floor. The whole Hall erupted in screams and shouts and students started running to the door to get out.
"SILENCE!" Dumbledore roared. Everyone stopped screaming and looked over at the Staff Table. Dumbledore spoke more softly but loud enough for everyone to hear. "Now, Prefects, will take their House back to the dormitories; teachers, will follow me to the dungeons,". The kids filed out of the Hall and went seperate ways to their dorms. "Everyone remain close and STAY ALERT!" Percy told them sternly as he led them to the House floor. Harry pulled Ron away and Yugi tugged Brian out of the line. "What? I don't think this is a good time to be standing around, Harry!" Brian said harshly. "Hermione and Tea are still in the bathroom! They don't know about the troll!" he told them. Yugi's and Brian's eyes widened. They followed Ron and Harry to the Girl's Bathroom.
When they reached the corridor leading to the bathroom, they heard a loud groaning noise. They quickled ducked behind a large statue. They could see a large form shuffling toward the door. "I think the troll's left the dungeon," Ron said quietly. Harry nodded and saw Brian holding his right arm which was under the cloak. "What's wrong with your arm?" he asked. Brian shook his head "Nothing's wrong, just putting something on it," and with that he lifted his arm to reveal a large golden gauntlet that went from his hand to his elbow. Harry noticed it had the same eye symbol that Yugi's puzzle had. Speaking of the Puzzle, Ron looked down and saw that it glowed again and that Yugi gained a foot or so. Yami looked over at Brian "I was wondering if you had that with you, Guardian," he said raising an eyebrow. Brian smirked and looked down the corridor. "You should know me better than that, my Pharaoh, you know I always take it with me,". Harry and Ron looked at them both with confused looks "Ok who the bloody hell are you guys?" Ron asked. Brian and Yami looked at them both "Now is not the time for explanations," Yami said in his deep voice. Harry nodded and broke out into a run to the girls bathroom, with the others in tow.When they got there they saw...
-A few minutes before the troll-
Tea was standing outside the stall door talking to Hermione, "Cmon Hermione, I'm sure he didn't mean all that,".
"No he meant it alright, he hates me. I bet all of them do," she sniffled. Tea sighed "I KNOW that's not true, Yugi and Brian don't I know that for a fact," she assured her "Cmon, Hermione come out. Let's go eat at the feast ok? I bet Ron's wanting to apologize...," she trailed off. The door opened and Hermione came out wiping her eyes dry of tears.
"Thank you, Tea," she said softly. Tea smiled and put her hand on her shoulder "No problem, Herm,". She and Hermione began walking to the door when they stopped. There, in front of them wasa huge grey skinned creature in a loincloth holding a large wooden club. They stared at it, and it squinted back at them in the darkness. The girls backed away slowly as it advanced on them, with its club raised. They managed to duck in time as it swung the club, wiping out the top half portion of every toilet stall in the bathroom. They screamed as pieces of wood fell on top and around them. The door to the bathroom opened and Yami, Harry, Brian and Ron came running in. "HERMIONE, TEA! MOVE IT!" Harry yelled.
"You don't have tell us twice!" Tea yelled back. She helped Hermione up and made their way across the room behind the troll. The troll noticed they were gone and turned around to see them next to the sink and raised its club to crush them. Just as it was about to bash in their heads, Brian came between the girls and the club with his Gauntlet raised in the air and a glowing eye in the middle of his forehead"SHIELD OF SHADOWS!" he cried. Just before the club hit the Gauntlet, a large dome of black energy came fromit and surrounded the master and the two girls. The club bashed the energybut it wasrepelled back.Hermione, Harry and Ron were stunned by what they saw. "OY! You guys better do something quick! I can't hold this for long!" he shouted at the three at the door. Yami held up his arm "MIND CRUSH!" he yelled aiming a large portion of Shadow Magic to the troll. It didn't affect the creature at all whatsoever. "What! That always works!" the Pharaoh shouted. Hermione, Ron and Harry noticed that he too had a glowing Eye on his forehead. Brian finally gave out, and the shield vanished.
Yami ran towards them but didn't notice the troll had once more lifted his club. It swung the club and it connected to Yami's body sending him flying into a wall. "YAMI!" "Pharaoh!" Tea and Brian screamed at the same time. Harry took a chance and the next time the troll's club came down to the floor, he latched onto it as the troll lifted it up again. Harry fell onto the trolls shoulders, which caused the monster to try and toss him off like a bullrider on a bull. Harry held on for dear life as the troll bucked every which way. The troll finally got a hold of Harry's leg and pulled him off, but not before he stuck his wand deep into the trolls' nose. "Ugh," Ron commented. The troll tried to hit Harry with its club, but everytime it came close to him, Harry pulled himself upa bit to avoid it. "Do SOMETHING!" Harry yelled at Ron. He looked around and looked back at Harry "What!".
Harry once more dodged the club, but he was growing tired "ANYTHING!" he screamed, ready for another swipe. Ron suddenly came up with something and pulled out his wand. Hermione looked at him while Tea was holding Brian up, "Swish and flick!" she cried out. Ron nodded "Wingardium Leviosa!" he said flicking the wand at the troll's club. The club floated out of the troll's hand and above him. The troll didn't notice until it swung trying to get Harry again, but nothing was in its hand. It looked up and saw the club floating above its head. Then it came crashing down on its head with a loud cracking sound. The troll released Harry and stumbled around the bathroom. As it began to fall, everyone got away from it, then boom it hit the floor like a ton of bricks. Ron, Harry, Hermione and Tea stepped a little closer to look at it, while Brian wentto help Yami. He had gone back into the puzzle and Yugi was back in control of his body. "You ok Yugi?" he asked gently helping his friend up. Yugi nodded "Yeah, I feel fine. Nothing hurts," he said getting to his feet. "Is it dead?" Hermione asked shakily. Harry shook his head "No, just knocked out I think," he said as he pulled his wand out from the nose of the troll. "UGH!" "EW!" and "Nasty" were the comments made from the group. "Troll bogeys," Harry stated while wiping them off on his robes. The door to the bathroom were opened once more as McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell came running in.
Quirrell and Snape stared at the troll unconcious on the floor while McGonagall turned to the students. "What happened? Explain!" she said harshly. Ron, Harry, Yugi and Brian each opened their mouths to explain when Tea and Hermione spoke up. "It's our fault, Professor McGonagall," Hermione said quietly. She looked shocked at her and Tea, while Snape looked skeptical. "Miss Granger and Miss Gardner! What do you mean?" she asked. It was Tea's turn to talk"You see Professor...Hermione and I heard there was a troll loose, so we split up from the group to hunt it down and take care of it. We read so much about them, we figured we could handle it, If the boys hadn't shown up when they did, we would be dead right now," she said quietly.
Ron, Harry, Yugi and Brian stared at them both. Tea and Hermione...lying AND to a teacher? This was a definiite first in their books. McGonagall looked angry but not as much "You should've used better judgement! I am very disappointed in the both of you! 5 points from Gryffindor will be taken from both of you," she said as Tea and Hermione lowered their heads. She then turned to the boys "As for you boys, you should consider yourselves VERY lucky. Not many first years students could've taken on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points will be awarded to each of you," she said with a small smile. Yugi and Brian high-fived and Harry and Ron smiled. McGonagall turned to Snape who looked mad. "For sheer dumb LUCK," she said simply before she left the room.
Snape left right after her while Quirrell ushered the boys and girls out of the bathroom "Back t-to your d-dorm. M-m-might w-wake up," he stuttered. When the left, he looked at the unconcious creature on the floor. It let out a loud growland Quirrell jumped before leaving quickly.
Kilnorc: there you have it! sorry for taking a bit long to finish the chappie had some tough time figuring out the scene. And my thanks go out to Darth Baka who suggested Tea be in the bathroom trying to comfort Hermione. Stay tuned for more.!
