Unexpected love

Troll in Hogwarts

Immediately after class I go to the bathroom to try and wash my face. I see Hermione run into a stall while crying. I open the stall door and peak in at her.

"Hermione? Are you okay?"

"No. I hate Ronald Weasley! He is so rude when I was just trying to help him. He was mocking me with Harry after class."

I sigh and I sit on the floor with her as she cries into her hands, "he is just jealous that he doesn't know as much as you do."

She sniffles and I wipe her eyes for her while smiling, "there is no reason for him to be so rude, I am telling you he is just jealous."

She laughs and shakes her head, "no. I don't know as much as you think."

I roll my eyes, "you are crazy! You are the smartest girl I know!"

She puts her head on my shoulder, and I smile, "do you like Malfoy," she whispers.

"What? Why do you ask?"

"The way you look at him and by the way he looks at you, I think he likes you back."

I roll my eyes and play with my fingers, "I don't think I like him in that way. He is not a nice person, but if he were to be a little bit nicer than I would consider it."

I have never been so unsure in my life by the simplest yes or no question.

We sit there in the bathroom for a while until I realize it got darker out, "we should go to dinner, we are already late."

She nods and we both stand up while she rubs her eyes and we both start to walk out of the stall. As we walk out I stop as I see a giant troll standing in front of me. Hermione doesn't seem to notice and bumps into me. I stare at it as she grabs my hand and slowly tries to back into the stall. The troll swings at us causing Hermione and I to scream while ducking.

Harry and Ron run in while the troll yells. I grab Hermione and bring her underneath a sink while we cover our heads. The troll goes to swing at us but Harry grabs onto its bat and comes up with it, causing the troll to be caught off guard. Hermione and I hold each other close and watch at the troll swings around trying to fling my brother off of him.

"Harry! Please be careful!"

Harry sticks his wand up the trolls nose and all three of us watch to see what is going to happen. The troll sneezes then grab Harry by the leg and hangs him upside down.

"Do something," Harry dodges a swing from the troll as Ron panics, "anything!"

"Come on Ron! Swish and flick!"

Ron takes out his wand, "Wingardium Leviosa!"

The bat is takes out of the trolls hand and hovers for a minute before Ron lets it drop on its head. He drops my brother and he quickly crawls over to Ron as the troll gets knocked out and passes out in front of Hermione and I. We slowly get up and stare at the troll as Harry takes his wand out of its nose.

"Ew, troll boogeys."

Just at that time, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell come in.

"Oh, my goodness! Explain yourselves, both of you!"

I don't think she sees Hermione and I yet. The boys stutter and I step forward, "Its my fault professor McGonagall."

"What? Miss Potter?"

"I went looking for the troll, I read all about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't get here, then I'd probably be dead."

"That was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behavior on your part I am very disappointed in you, Miss Potter. Five points will be taken from Slytherin for your serious lack in judgement."

I look at Snape as he shakes his head and I look down at the floor as McGonagall continues, "As for you three, well I hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many first-year students can take a full-grown troll by themselves. Five points will be added for each of you to Gryffindor."

I sigh and I start to walk out and go to the Slytherin common room. I shouldn't have taken the blame for that. I walk into the common room and look at Pansy who is sitting with Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and a boy named Blaise. Pansy runs up to me and hugs me.

"Oh. I'm so happy you are okay (Y/n). You aren't hurt at all?"

She looks at my face and then my arm. She gasps at a huge gash on my arm with splinters in it, "oh god! You have to go to the hospital wing now!"

I look down and see a trail of blood behind me, before I knew it, everything got dark and I passes out.
