On Halloween morning they woke to the delicious smell of baking pumpkin wafting through the corridors. Even better, Professor Flitwick announced in charms that he thought they were ready to start making objects fly, something they had all been dying to try. Professor Flitwick put the class into pairs to practice.
Harry snorted.
He snapped his fingers and made his feather float and do loops in the air.
How's that? Harry said as everyone looked at him shocked.
As Harry and Draco walked in the corridors they heard Weasley talking.
It's no wonder no one can stand her he said to dean thomas harry thinks his name is she's a nightmare honestly.
Later on their way down the great hall for the halloween feast Harry and Draco overheard parvati patil telling Lavender brown that granger was crying in the girls' bathroom and wanted to be left alone. Harry didn't care and just walked into the great hall.
A thousand live bats fluttered from the walls and ceiling while a thousand more swooped over the tables in low black clouds, making the candles in the pumpkins stutter. Harry was helping himself to a baked potato when Professor Quirrel came sprinting into the hall, his turban askew and terror on his face. Everyone stared as he reached Dumbeldumb's chair, slumped against the table, and gasped, Troll— in the third floor corridor— thought you ought to know.
He then sank to the floor in a dead faint.
There was an uproar. It took several purple firecrackers exploding from the end of Dumbeldumb's wand to bring silence.
Prefects he rumbled lead your houses back to the dormitories immediately!
Damn it Harry swore under his breath.
What is it mate? Draco said.
What's the chance granger is in the third floor corridor girls bathroom Harry said I'll save her arse go.
Harry followed the rest of the slytherins out then used melted into the shadows and reappeared in the third floor.
There he saw the bathroom.
Harry quickly opened it then closed it quickly.
Granger we got to go there's a troll nearby Harry said.
How did a troll get in? Granger said.
How am i supposed to know? Harry said
Granger walked towards the door and suddenly the door burst apart.
Harry slid across the floor his golden shield up.
The troll walked toward them. It was a horrible sight. Twelve feet tall, it's skin was a dull granite gray, it's great lumpy body like a boulder with it's small bald head perched on top like a coconut. It had short legs thick as tree trunks with flat, horny feet. The smell coming from it was incredible. It was holding a huge wooden club which dragged along the floor because it's arms were so long.
Granger don't tell anybody you saw this Harry then he called upon his magic.
Harry's eyes glowed blood red and shadow like mist gathered in front of him forming a smooth black crescent shaped blade.
The blade shoots forward decapitating the troll.
It hit the ground with a loud thud.
Harry turned to hermione his eyes still glowing red.
I was never here Harry said I implanted a fake memory in your head that's what you will tell the professors.
Harry disappeared in a puff of smoke.
A moment later, Professor McGonagall had come bursting into the room, closely followed by Professor Snape, with Quirrel bringing up the rear. Quirrel took one look at the troll's decapitated body, let out a faint whimper, and sat quickly down on a toilet, clutching his heart.
Miss granger did you see the one who did it? Professor McGonagall said.
Yes Hermione said I thought the trolll was about to kill me when suddenly a man in black robes appeared in a puff of black smoke. He made a crescent shaped blade out of black smoke which he sent toward the troll decapitating it.
Did he say his name? Professor McGonagall said.
Nihilus, the nightmare lord Hermione said.
Suddenly the shadows in the room darkened then quickly disappeared.
Go to your dormitory Professor McGonagall said speak of this to no one.
As soon as Hermione was out of earshot Professor McGonagall said find away to create the most light something tells me we need it in case this Nihilus attacks.
