Chapter 5
Halloween
A couple weeks and homework later, it was HAllOWEEN at Hogwarts! But everybody was talking feverishly about a troll on the loose tonight. (By the way, Hermione, Ron, and Harry are best of friends. Kinda.)
Hermione said to Harry in their common room, "Harry, do you think there is going to be a troll on the loose tonight?"
Harry answered back, "I doubted it, and these morons don't even own a troll. Do you really think Hogwarts have monstrous things that kill you instantly? Remember our last adventure when we met the three headed dog. It turns out to be an innocent Fluffy guarding a valuable stone called the Sorcerer's Stone which can grant one to live forever."
Ron and Hermione stared at Harry and said, "How do you know that?"
Harry thought back, "Hagrid told us remember…"
Ron and Hermione shrug their shoulders and went back in doing their potions homework from Professor Snape (aka MoronHead.)
A few hours later, they went into the Great Hall. Instead of floating candles, there were floating pumpkins. Harry shouted, "This got to be the worse Halloween decorations ever!" Professor McGonagall stared at Harry and shot a spell at Harry for rudeness, but Harry quickly duck and it hit Hermione. Hermione screamed and shouted, "What the fudge!" Her face was actually covered in dark chocolate fudge. She quickly ran out of the Great Hall. Ron yelled at Professor McGonagall, "Look what you did you moron!" Before Professor McGonagall can yell back at Ron, Professor Quirrell came running into the Great Hall and bellowed, "TROLL ON THE LOOSE, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Professor Quirrell quickly fainted and fell on Harry's shoe. Harry screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, RUN!" It was pandemonium, students throwing food around, someone shot a spell in the air that said, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Students everywhere ran to the exit screaming, "AHHHHHHH!"
Professor Dumbledore stood on his table and bellowed, "QUIET!" Everyone shut up and stared at Professor Dumbledore. He said softly, "Harry Potter, you have detention and everybody go back to their common room." Harry muttered, "Darn it!" Harry and Ron followed Percy Weasley as the Gryffindor's first years do the same. While they were walking, Ron told Harry, "We should be running like crazy, why are we walking slowly." Harry thought about that statement and screamed, "RUN TO YOUR COMMON ROOM!" The first years quickly ran out of their sights and Harry told Ron, "Hey, let's sneak to the girl's bathroom!" Ron nodded and they ran to the nearest bathroom.
When they got there, a huge shadow fell on their heads; they looked up and saw the troll looking down on them! Harry screamed and they ran into the bathroom. They saw Hermione Granger washing her face. Harry bellowed to Hermione, "Get out your wand!" Hermione said to Harry, "Oh shut up Harry, there is no- AHHHHHH!" The troll came in and swung his bat and it smashed a toilet. Ron Weasley took out his wand and shouted, "STUPEFY!"A red beam of light hit the troll in the eyes and it fell down. Hermione shouted to Ron, "How do you know that spell, that is very advance!" Ron yell back, "My dad does it all the time to gnomes!" Harry stood on the sink and shouted, "STUPEFY, STUPEFY, STUPEFY!" 3 sets of light hit the troll and it fell on the dirty ground. Hermione shouted, "Stupefy!" The spell hit the troll on the stomach and it twitch.
Harry said to Hermione, "Are you okay?" Hermione nodded and said to Ron, "Is the troll dead?" Before he could answer Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell came in and gasped at the fallen troll. "Who did this?" Professor McGonagall said softly. Harry said, "We all helped kill the troll!" Professor Dumbledore gasped and said to the trio, "50 points to Gryffindor for knocking out the troll." Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall stare at Professor Dumbledore and said, "Are you sure?" Professor Dumbledore nodded and said to Professor Quirrell, "Next time, put your trolls in the dungeons, not out in the open!" Professor Quirrell nodded and stared at his feet.
Professor McGonagall said to Harry and his buddies "Go to your common room immediately!" Harry, Hermione, and Ron quickly went out of the bathroom. Hermione said, "Thanks for saving me guys!" Ron said, "Well we weren't actually- OUCH!" (Harry had step on his foot.) Harry quickly said, "What Ron meant was that we were glad that you got out of the bathroom. I mean we need your help for the homework right?" Hermione nodded and they went to their common room.
When they got there, Fred and George Weasley came up to them and said, "Oh my god, you knock out a full grown troll with spells. That is so cool. Harry, Quidditch is tomorrow! Are you ready?" "What! I play on the Quidditch team?" Fred looked at Harry and said, "We really need a seeker so Professor McGonagall picked you because your dad used to be a chaser himself. You are bound to have some Quidditch blood in you anyways!"
Harry started yelling, "Whoa, I don't want to risk my life. I don't have a broom, a team uniform, or the place anyways." George said to Harry, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore brought you a Nimbus 2000 broomstick." Harry gasped and said, "REALLY! Wow I really wanted one since I saw it at Diagon Alley!" The last thing Harry saw was a punch on his chest…
Author's Note: I forgot that Harry try out that Quidditch thing, so I had to force it in there! Review this if you like my idea!
