"Now one of the first spells wizards start out with are the levitating. Now, take out your wand and flick it, just the way we practiced." Professor Flitwick stood before us on a stack of books.

    "Now use your wand and say 'Wingardium Leviosa 'now go on and give it a try."

     We all did as instructed, Ron however started waving the wand like it was a drumstick. "Stop stop your doing it all wrong." Hermione snatched Ron's wand before he could break it.

    "It's Levi o sa. Not Leviosa." She corrected. Ron's face didn't seem impressed. "Well if your so smart lets see you try. Go on, "

      I watched as Hermione made the feather fly high obove our heads, and into the ceiling. Flitwick shouted with glee.

    "10 points Ms.Granger!!! "

     Next to Harry, and Ash, Dean Thomas started reciting the spell. Out of the blue, his feather exploded into ashes. Covering the three with Ash.

    "I think we're going to need another feather over here professor." I spoke up.

   Timeskip...

    "It's Levi O sa. Not Leviosa." Ron spoke rudely.

   "What a brat, no wonder age hasn't gotten any friends." He sneered. Hermione pushed into Ron and ran away. "I think she heard you." Harry spoke, stopping in his tracks.

     "You know Ron, "I spoke, "I wonder who the real brat is. She does have friends, you just don't want to take your precious time to find out." After that I started walking through the crowds, looking for Hermione.

     Ash's P.O.V

     The three of is watched as Alice left, Absol trailing behind her. Ive known her for a while and she never gives up on a friend.

      "C'mon, "Ron spoke, walking swiftly, "If we hurry we can still make it to the Halloween feast." Oh yeah!! I forgot about that.

      "What D'you say Pikachu? "I asked, rubbing my partner's ears."Ready to eat all night? " Pikachu squealed in delight, what I'd give to understand.

    When we got there the tables were full delicious sweets, drinks, and pokepuffs. We immediately sat down and started eating.

    "Where's Hermione and Alice? "Harry asked after a while.

    Neville leaned in from my side. "Patil Parvati said Hermione's been in the bathroom cryin.  Alice is there comforting her."

    Ron looked guilty, he should be. I mean, he made a really nice girl cry!!!   "You have to say your sorry soon." I reasoned, taking a bite of Pokepuff.

    Ron was about to speak when the giant doors opened. Everyone craned their heads to see Professor Quirrel running inside.

   "TROLL!!! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!! " Dumbledore stood up, alarmed.

   "Troll." Quirrel muttered, then passed out. Everyone stayed silent for two seconds before screaming and running out of the great hall.

     Before I could actually stand up Dumbledore boomed in a deep voice.

    "SILEEEEENNNNCCCEEEE!!!!! "  Everyone froze, then turned back to Dumbledore.

   "I want everyone to be calm, Prefects, lead your houses back to your towers. Teachers, come with me." We all obeyed his orders, but just as we walked outside Harry pulled us out of the lines.

   "What? "Ron whispered.

   "Alice and Hermione. They don't know about the troll!! "

   Alice

    "You feeling better Hermione? "I asked, sitting on the bathroom floor with Absol, waiting on her.

     She emerged from the bathroom stall, teary eyed and red faced. "I guess, I just wish Ron hadn't had said that."

     I stood up and gave her a hug. "Boys are stupid, especially Ron..." Hermione let out a giggle, which turned I to a scream.

    Behind us was a giant Troll, thingy.... Hermione grabbed my arm and dragged me into a stall, which was smashed I to debris bu the Troll's club

.

  "Absol use Perish Song!!! " I screamed, sheilding my eyes from wood. Absol roared very loudly, making the Troll cover it's ears.

     Seeing our advantage, We rushed under the sinks. Watching the Troll flounder with it's hands in it's ears. During it's flounder, Ash, Harry, and Ron appeared from the doorway.

  "HELP US!!! "Hermione and I screamed at the same time. Before anyone could move the Troll's club swung through the sink next to me. Hermione clutched onto me harder, as I did to her.

      "Thunderbolt!!! "Ash shouted, Pikachu shot electricity at the Troll, having little effect.  Harry took out his wand, but it soon ended up in the Troll's nose. Eww.

       The Troll grabbed Harry by the legs and hung him upside down, swinging the club at him. Luckily Harry was able to barely dodge them.

   "Do something!!!" He shouted at Ash and Ron.

   "What?! "Ron asked, desperate to help.

    "Anything!!! "

     Ron took out his wand and aimed it at the troll's club. "Wingardium Leviosa!!! " The club was s arched from the troll's grubby hands and flown into the air. Ron then released it, letting it hit the troll's head with a sickening crack.

     "Is everyone alright? "I asked, climbing through the rubble of debris. Harry took out his wand from the Troll's nose, which was covered in snot.

     McGonagall emerged from the doorway, followed by Snape and Quirrel.  "Explain yourselves!!" She said, pointing to Ash, Harry, Ron, and me.

        The boys stuttered, I stayed silent. But Hermione had other plans. "It was my fault. " She spoke.

    McGonagall's eyes averted from us to her, surprised. "But ...Ms.Granger, how could you? "

     "I read about trolls in a book. I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. If they hadn't come and found me....I'd probably be dead."

      McGonagall stared at Hermione for a while before speaking. "5 points from Gryffindor, for stupidity. "

      Then she turned to us. "Five points." She spoke.

    We held our breath, "Will be awarded. Each, your lucky, not many wizards get to fight a troll and live to tell the tale."

      Soon she and Snape left the room, Quirrel motioned for us to follow. But he seems too happy...
