"Do something!" I heard Hermione shout from where she and Katrina huddled in a corner near the sinks. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7mExWBkbq

"Confuse it!" I yelled to Ron as I picked up a piece of rubble and threw it at the troll. Ron threw a broken piece of pipe but neither objects had any affect and I watched in horror as the troll's bat continued to swing down.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauNXU5YXip

The next thing I knew, I was watching as Katrina shoved Hermione out from the corner and tried to make her way out as well. But she was too late. I cried out her name in desperation as I helplessly watched the bat hit the side of her head as one of the spikes embedded in her side. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjZPG5DKaO

"Katrina!" I screamed as I ran at the troll and tried not to look at my best friends limp body. I shuddered to think what would happen if we couldn't get her to Madam Pomfrey in time...329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBHZeYe6Rz

"Oy, pea-brain," I heard Ron cry out as I jumped on the troll's back. While I managed to latch on and started punching every surface I could find, the troll easily picked me up off his back and dangled me in front of him.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iv4P8mQbc

Suddenly I was dropped and I hit the ground hard. I stood up hurriedly and looked at Ron for an explanation. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw487Fxk9OV

"I used wingardium leviosa on the bat," Ron said shrugging his shoulders and looking surprised that it had worked. "Is it dead?"329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5WbtpCXk

"Katrina!" I spotted her body laying still on the floor and ran over to her, lifting her head onto my lap. A puddle of blood had formed on the floor beneath her and her skin was icy cold. "Please wake up! You're my best friend, you can't leave me yet!" I cried out as tears streamed down my face. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqMsm0LZO8

I looked up and saw the blurry faces of McGonagall, Snape, and Quirell. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SGf2r8p45

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVafr8swtb
Snape sprinted forward as he saw Katrina's lifeless body in my arms and lifted her up into his own. Without another word he ran out of the room as McGonagall stood looking down at Ron, Hermione, and I with a furious expression on her face.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz3bvkZxoz

Before Ron or I could think of anything, Hermione spoke up.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZk0ScdpT

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOVSdSHNl
"It's my fault Professor McGonagall. I went looking for the troll - I've read all about them and thought I could handle it on my own...if Katrina, Harry, and Ron hadn't been here - I'd probably be dead," she said. Ron and I looked at each other astonished. Hermione Granger...lying to a teacher?!329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujUlVDYKs

"Miss Granger, you foolish girl, how could you think of tackling a mountain troll on your own?" Hermione hung her head. "Miss Granger, five points will be taken from Gryffindor for this. If you're not hurt at all, you'd better get off to Gryffindor tower. Students are finishing the feast in their houses." She turned to Ron and I. "As for you two - I still say you were lucky, not many first years could have taken a fully-grown mountain troll and lived to tell the tail. Five points will be awarded to each of you - for pure dumb luck..." with that she swept out of the room. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDsscriqK

"Five you mean, once she's taken off Hermione's" I responded as we glanced over to where she sat in front of the fire. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqKLH7vFwY

"Good of her to get us out of trouble like that," Ron admitted. "Mind you, we did save her."329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtXdus1yn

As we went to grab more food, we ran into Hermione. There was a pause as the three of us looked at each other.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIptiO6oSJ

I sighed contentedly as I got into bed later that night; happy that Hermione was now our friend. I never enjoyed having to hear her and Ron argue all the time so hopefully that would stop now. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopXite4Bh

I couldn't help but feel horrible about Katrina though. If only I'd managed to help her she wouldn't have been hurt at all! I silently vowed to protect her better from now on as I drifted off to sleep.
