WTF Annabeth
Chapter 14

Hermione

I was still staring at Selina, wondering if she was serious or not about stabbing me in the face when the door crashed in and a twelve foot tall mountain troll came in.

This dance was not turning out as I had expected at all.

"Get against the wall, go around and get out the door while I distract it. Get Rue, Percy and Annabeth." Selina said as she drew a dagger seemingly from no where.

I drew my wand and almost did as she told, but I could fight too so I stood my ground beside her.

"Together" I said and cast my strongest stupify right at its face.

It seemed to annoy it. Crap. The good news was that it moved to attack me while Selina was able to run to one side and charge its thigh with her dagger. The bad news is that a full grown mountain troll wanted to kill me with a gigantic club.

I fired off one stupify after another as I rolled out of his attacks, but none of my spells seemed to do much damage while its club destroyed the restroom, and as it was raising its club one more time to end my short, miserable life I heard the voice of an angel.

"Is this the guy that needs killing?" Harry asked from the door way, a sword in his hand.

The monster heard too and I was spared, at least for a moment as Selina stabbed it and it turned to see who the voice belonged to. The stabbing didn't seem to do much either, but at least I wasn't dead yet.

"Annabeth, join Selina, take out its legs. Ron, help Hermione with spells. Rue, you and me will go high. And don't worry, we have every thing we need to win this fight right here" Percy said as he pumped his fist to his chest.

"Heart?" I asked.

"What? No! Me! I'm going to win this fight" Percy replied, then yelled "Hit 'em!"

A water pipe suddenly burst on the wall and the troll was hit by spray in the eyes and face and was for the moment blind and enraged. In a moment we were all soaked.

I redirected my spell attack from its face to it's bajoobies and it bent over and groaned. Okay, that did more than get his attention!

Annabeth and Selina attacked each thigh, knee and hip with their daggers, while Ron and I pelted the troll with every offensive spell we could think of. Harry shouted something that sounded like "dolios" and was suddenly flying up behind it, hacking and slashing on the way. Percy just ran and leaped onto the troll's back and brought his sword down onto its neck, nearly severing it on the first blow and covering myself and Annabeth with its blood. When he lobed it off, Selina got drenched as well.

The monster teetered for a moment, headless and spraying blood on us, then fell right towards me. I tried to move but the floor was wet with water and blood and I slipped to my knees. Just before it would have crushed me someone shouted "Wingardium Leviosa!" and its fall was arrested.

I stepped from underneath and saw Ron aiming his wand and concentrating for all he was worth. Percy was sliding down its back as though surfing. Finally, only after I was safely out of the way, did Ron let it crash to the floor.

"That... that was amazing" I said in awe.

"I know right?" Percy replied.

"I meant Ron. That must have weighed a ton Ron!"

"Mmm well, yeah, I guess that was pretty cool." Ron replied modestly.

"You saved my life. Thank you." I said as I kissed him on the cheek.

"You're getting blood on my tux...you know what? That's okay." He smiled.

It was just then that Professor McGonnagal came rushing in, followed by Snape and Quirrell. Quirrell took one look at both the dead troll and the room covered with blood and just sort of sat down on a toilet and passed out.

"What on earth were you thinking, why are you not in your dormitory? You are all lucky you weren't killed." McGonnagal nearly screamed, then clutched Percy and Harry close to her.

"When Professor Quirrell came in the feast and told everyone, and we were ordered to our dorm, well, we remembered that Hermione and Selina had gone to the restroom. So we came to fetch them back for safety, well, we were going to just send in Annabeth, you know, girl's room, but the door was knocked down and we saw the troll, and, well our training kicked in. Ron and Hermione deserve a lot of the credit. They kept it occupied with spells so we were free to attack." Percy said.

This was bullshit of course, The three Americans and Harry didn't need our help, watching them work with swords was amazing and I knew I needed to train harder with them.

Snape just stared at Harry, then in turn the rest of us, and occasional poked at the troll's body and head with his foot, and once or twice, his wand. Water was still pouring from the pipe but he cast a repairing spell, "plumursstape" or something like that, and it stopped.

"Not many young magicians could take on a mountain troll and live, much less win. I award each of you five points. Now go to you dormitory and get cleaned up, the feast has been moved to the dormitories. I will inform the headmaster of these events." McGonagall said.

"Professor Quirrell" Annabeth asked, "Are you wounded?" She pointed to a spot of blood on his thigh.

"Oh, I'm sure it just splashed on me, I might ask the same." He smiled referring to all of us being covered in blood.

"No I don't think so... I didn't ask, is anyone hurt?" Harry asked.

We all told him we were fine, but I was about to throw up from both the smell of the troll and being covered in its blood.

"You did this with swords? Weapons are not allowed at Hogwarts." Snape said.

"Well by all means take them away" Percy replied smugly as he turned and led us us to the tower.
