chapter four.
I can't even describe the feast. I had never seen so much food in my life, not even at the Welcoming Feast. There were bowls and bowls of candy corn, caramel apples, small chocolates, and huge lollipops. I knew it was going to be a good dinner because I didn't see a vegetable in sight.
I sat next to Ron, who was next to Harry, and the three of us sat across from Seamus and Dean, the other boys in our dormitory. I was talking mainly to Seamus, since I knew him the best.
It was all well and merry. That is, until that man ran into the room and had me all of a dither.
I had just laughed at something that I heard Ron say when Professor Quirrel ran into the room, yelling at the top of his lungs (which, still, was not very loud), 'TROLL! THERE'S A TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!'
And of course, after an announcement like that, there was downright panic. Students were jumping up and screaming, and only Dumbledore could quiet us.
Percy, Ron's older brother (my goodness, he has a lot of family at this school) led us back up to Gryffindor Tower, where we all sat in the Common Room, anxious. I looked hastily for Harry and Ron, wanting to talk to somebody, but they were nowhere to found. Almost hopefully, I looked for a bunch of bushy hair to lead me to Hermione, but she was gone too. In fact, I hadn't seen her all day…she seemed a bit upset earlier today, I hope she's all right.
Finally, I spotted Dean and Seamus in a corner and went to join them. It was a long night, even so. More than two hours later, it seemed, Professor McGonagall entered the Common Room, followed, to everyone's surprise, by Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry's wand was covered in something that looked disgustingly like bogies.
'You will be pleased to know that everything has been resolved, and you are all safe,' Professor McGonagall announced. 'More so, Gryffindor has ended up 5 points richer. Now, off to bed, I'm sure there will be plenty of time to interrogate these three-' she pointed to Harry, Ron, and Hermione '-in the morning.'
