That Halloween night, the great hall has floating Jack O'Lanterns in place of the candles. Athena notices an empty spot on the bench.
Athena: Where's Hermione?
Neville: Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon...crying.[ Athena glances at Ron with a disapproving look on her face; Ron shrugs]
Athena: I went after her and tried helping her but she asked to be alone I didn't want to make her anymore upset then she already is
Neville: She just needs to calm herself down that's all
Athena: if she's not back soon I'm taking some food with me to give to her and you're coming with me Ron, so you can apologise [Athena gave him a look to which Ron quickly nodded]
Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes running into the Great Hall in panic.]
Quirrell: TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!![Dumbledore rises from his seat in concern. Everyone look at Quirrell and he stops and there is utter silence.] Thought you ought to know. [He passes out. The room is silent, and then everyone freaks out, screaming and running.]
"THATS THE DADA TEACHER" "HES A WIMP" "WHERE DO YOU HIRE PEOPLE LIKE THAT?"
Dumbledore: SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE! [Everyone stops and calms down.] Everyone will please, not panic. Now, Prefects will lead their houses back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.
Girl: Hufflepuff, this way!
Boy: Stay together!
"What about the slytherins?!" Narcissa panicked "don't worry mum there's another way into the slytherin common room" Draco soothed his mother.
Snape looks aghast, and he walks out through a doorway. A bit later, Percy is leading the house down a corridor.
"What are you up to snivillous" sneered Sirius, Snape just rolled his eyes.
Percy: Gryffindors, keep up please. And stay alert!
Athena: How could a troll get in?
Ron: Not by itself. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes. [Suddenly, Athena stops and pulls Ron aside.] What?
Athena: Hermione! She doesn't know!
Many gasp, "Please tell me you went and got a teacher" Andromeda pleaded at the trio. They all look at her sheepishly. "I'm going to get grey hairs" sighed James rubbing his hands down his face.
The two separate themselves from the crowd. They run down corridors. They start running down a hall when they stop, because there is a grunting noise and a large shadow on the wall.
Ron: I think the troll's left the dungeon!
Athena pulls Ron into a doorway, they peer out to see a large, ugly troll thunks by into a room.
Athena: It's going into the Girl's Bathroom!
"NO TURN BACK" "GET A TEACHER" "DONT GO IN THERE" Fred started squeezing Athena more.
In the bathroom, Hermione emerges from a stall, wiping her eyes. She stops when she sees something. The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up, into the stall just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. Hermione screams. Athena and Ron come bursting in.
Athena: Hermione, move! [The troll smashes the remaining stalls.]
Hermione: Help! Help! [The boy and girl start throwing wood pieces at the troll.]
Ron: Hey, pea brain! [Ron throws wood and hits the troll on the head. Hermione escapes from the stalls to under a sink, but the troll sees her and goes to smash her. It cracks the sink and barely misses Hermione. Athena cringes.]
Hermione: Ahhh! Help!
[Athena gets out her wand. She runs forward and grabs the troll's club, and is lifted up.]
