"Do something!" I heard Hermione shout from where she and Katrina huddled in a corner near the sinks. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDcm1WvdAJ

"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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyIR6nsdwi

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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMjgp16AO2

"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...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQYkh6Yfyu

"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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIpvXfomjS

Suddenly I was dropped and I hit the ground hard. I stood up hurriedly and looked at Ron for an explanation. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiYqOFB15R

"I used wingardium leviosa on the bat," Ron said shrugging his shoulders and looking surprised that it had worked. "Is it dead?"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGOyufW5J

"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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbgs43GXRq

I looked up and saw the blurry faces of McGonagall, Snape, and Quirell. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhxVz2ws5Y

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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzo2uy7ChU

"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?!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFNVG3XEJ5

"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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AubCleiZ9

"We should have gotten than ten points," Ron grumbled as we finished up dinner in the common room.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuca4mAxms

"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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFZTvVxeS

"Good of her to get us out of trouble like that," Ron admitted. "Mind you, we did save her."324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmo2Oc5MeE

As we went to grab more food, we ran into Hermione. There was a pause as the three of us looked at each other.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3i6hrbbYg

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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxeFhNogy

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.
