Chapter 4- The Girl
Hey this is HappyKitty5620. If you have any suggestions just write a review and I'll be happy to include some of your ideas!
Harry didn't know what to do. He couldn't fight. He's just Harry Potter, he isn't special. He doesn't know how to fight a wizard let alone a troll but someone has to help that girl, she can't take on the troll alone.
Harry walks towards the bathroom and takes out his wand. He is trying to think of hexes and spells that will work to defeat the troll but nothing is popping into his head. When he steps into the bathroom he sees that the troll has knocked down almost
all of the stalls and the girl is hiding underneath the sink. "What to do, what to do?" Harry mumbled to himself. He was trying to think when it came to him, a rock.
Harry grabbed a big, flat rock and threw directly at the troll's head. It bounced right off with a loud clunk and then the troll turned it's head to face Harry, it was coming towards him.
He had no idea what to do, he wasn't good with spells. So he just stood there and closed his eyes prepared for the blow that was about to hit him across the face. Then the troll picked Harry up off the ground and whirled him around to face the girl.
That was Hermione Granger, the smartest witch in the class. Harry was absolutely terrified. The troll kept swinging him and if at any point it wanted to drop him, it could. Harry had to think of something to do. He thought that he could jump onto
the troll's head. Yes! That will work! So he jumped onto the troll's head and got swung around even more. He was having trouble holding on. He decided that there was only one thing left to do. Harry stuck his wand up the troll's nose.
Then Hermione called out, "Wingardium Leviosa," and the bat that the troll was holding flew up into the air and dropped right on his head. He started to fall to the ground. Then all the professors ran in with worried and confused looks. "Why aren't
you two in your dormitories?" Professor Mcgonagall asked in an angry tone. Harry didn't know if he should take the blame for Hermione or just let her explain when she said, "It's my fault. I went out looking for the troll. I read about them in a book
and so I thought I could handle it. Harry just saved me." Harry wondered how she knew his name. Nobody knew his name.
"Well then you're very lucky. Not many first-years who cross paths with a troll live to tell the tale so fifty points to Gryffindor for Harry's bravery and kindness. For you Miss Granger, you broke the rules however you did fight off that troll so
forty points to Gryffindor," Professor Mcgonagall said. Harry couldn't believe it, they broke the rules and they got points for their house! "Now head back to your dormitories we will take care of this," Professor Mcgonagall said gesturing towards
the troll. They followed the orders that they were given and started to head back to the Gryffindor common room when Hermione stopped and asked "Why did you save me? You could've walked away and went on with your day yet you risked your life for a
girl like me. I just can't comprehend why, so why Harry? Why save me?" Harry had to think for a second. He couldn't figure out how to transfer his thoughts into words. "You're right I could've walked away. I could've walked away with a dirty conscience,
knowing that some girl in some bathroom is in trouble or injured or dead and knowing that I could've prevented it, I could've helped. So yeah maybe I could've walked into that Gryffindor common room and sat in that Gryffindor chair but I would've
wondered what happened to that girl I heard screaming. Oh, and a simple thank you would work too," Harry said realizing that it was a bit rude but it got his point across.
"Thank you," She said, "But you really didn't need to, I could handle myself." "Really," Harry said sarcastically. Then they both laughed and went on their way. When they arrived Harry went up to the boy dorms and watched as Hermione walked up to
her room.
As he entered he could already hear the gossip that was being said inside. "Why would they keep a giant three-headed dog in a school?" Ron asked, apparently talking to Neville while everyone else listened awkwardly to their conversation. "I'm not
quite sure but I can figure it out, you know I am the Chosen One," Neville boasted. Harry wanted to yell, he wanted to scream at Neville for his utter stupidity but he kept quiet and thought about how he could enter the conversation. "True, true but
I suppose you'll need a bit of help," Ron sounded like he was begging for Neville to let him help. "Maybe. If I need help I know who to owl." Neville is so annoying. Like he wouldn't need help. Harry finally thought it was time to join the conversation
and find out what exactly was going on.
"What are you talking about? What three-headed dog?" Harry's voice was shaky as he asked this question, not wanting to get mocked but needing an answer. "Why should we tell you? You're just jealous. A scared boy wishing to be cool, wishing he could
hang out with me and The Chosen One and wishing for a friend. Well wake up you're never getting a friend and you will never hang out with us," This kid just keeps getting worse and worse. When Neville stands up to speak Harry is almost scared at what
he will say. "Hold on Ron, we can tell him. On two conditions,whatever I say stays in this room and that you owe us a favor now," Harry nodded and Neville continued, "We visited the third floor, you know the forbidden one. When we were inside Filch
came so we ran. When we were running we came to a door where I conveniently used a charm to open. Once we were inside we thought that we were safe but when we turned around a giant three-headed dog was standing there. I fought it off so we could escape
and here we are." Harry thought that they were so stupid for exploring the only forbidden floor in all of Hogwarts. Couldn't they just go outside or something? Guess not.
Harry knew that he had to tell Hermione about this. Even though they didn't know eachother very well he knew that she was smart and he wanted to prove himself to the boys in his dorm. If he could just find out why there was a giant three-headed dog
trapped somewhere inside Hogwarts. Now he just needed to think. What comes next?
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed that last chapter and again just write a review to suggest some of your ideas and I'll be happy to include some of them in my story! :):):):)
