Oops… I didn't mean to not update for a few weeks…I had stuff going on… :/ however, I present Chapter Five!

Through their screams, they failed to hear Harry and Ron burst in moments later. Really, they were oblivious the fact that they had, in fact, unlocked the bathroom door, come in, and had begun trying to save them, until they heard the Harry's voice.

"Confuse it!" he said, before making some strange sound Aveira didn't know what was. She didn't really pay attention to it though, all she saw was the advancing troll, crashing sinks as it came ever so closer.

"Oy, pea-brain!" Ron shouted from another part of the bathroom, throwing something metal at the troll, hitting the troll on the shoulder. The troll didn't seem to even notice its' being hit, but turned at the sound of Ron's voice, facing him so Harry could run to its other side.

"Come on, run!" he yelled at the girls, beckoning them towards the door. Aveira started running towards him, not realizing Hermione was still against the wall.

"Hermione!" Harry yelled, making Aveira turn her head. The bushy-haired girl was still pushed up against the wall in terror. The blonde ran back to her, grabbed her wrist and dragged Hermione with her.

The troll seemed very confused by all the echoes and yelling throughout the bathroom. It started towards Ron, who was the closest and also had no way to flee.

Harry took a running jump from behind the monster and wrapped his arms around the troll's neck. The troll didn't notice Harry, but it certainly noticed Harry's long wooden wand stuck up his nose. It wailed in pain and spun around, blindly swinging his club, Harry hanging on for dear life.

Ron pulled out his wand and shouted the first spell to come to mind. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The club lifted out of the troll's massive hand and rose high into the air before turning over and falling, with force, straight onto the head of the beast, making it fall slowly on its face.

Harry got to his feet, shaking and gasping for breath. Ron looked shocked at what had just happened. Aveira looked like she had just won the lottery; surprised, stunned, and excited. Hermione still looked scared.

"Is it dead?" she asked slowly.

"I don't think so—just knocked out." Harry replied. He pulled his wand out of the troll's snout. "Urgh-troll boogers." He said, wiping it on his pants, making Aveira giggle.

Suddenly, Professors McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell came bursting into the bathroom, McGonagall in front. She looked livid, her lips were white and her face over all looked flustered.

"What on earth were you thinking?" she said, voice full of fury. "You're lucky you weren't killed! Why aren't you in your dormitory?"

"Please, Professor, they were looking for me."

"Miss Granger!"

"I went looking for the troll because I—I thought I could deal with it on my own—you know, because I've read so much about them."

"We didn't know what she was doing and came to find her. We didn't want her to get hurt, you see." Aveira told the professor.

Harry gaped at her. Ron dropped his wand. Aveira was one thing, but Hermione Granger lying? Not only that, but to a teacher!

"Well in that case..." Professor McGonagall began. "Miss Granger, you foolish girl, how could you think of tackling a mountain troll alone? Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for this. I am very disappointed in you. If you aren't hurt, you better get off to Gryffindor Tower." Hermione then left without as much as a glance in the others' direction.

"Well, I still say you were lucky, not many first years could have taken on a full-grown mountain troll." Professor McGonagall said, addressing Harry, Aveira, and Ron.

"You each win Gryffindor five points. Professor Dumbledore will be informed of this. You may go."

The three first years hurried out of the bathroom, not speaking to each other until they were two floors up.

"We should have gotten more points than that." Ron complained.

"Well, at least we didn't get expelled. Lucky Hermione did that quick thinking." Harry replied.

"Good of her to get us out of trouble like that." Ron said. Aveira remained silent, walking behind the two boys. She was still thinking about what Professor McGonagall had said.

"Professor Dumbledore would be informed of this."

What if he decided to tell Mr. Malfoy about what had happened, and that she had saved a Muggleborn, and that she had done it alongside Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. The very thought made her face pale even whiter than it had been before. She didn't want to face her father's wrath. He would furious, maybe enough to send a Howler. And Draco will definitely hear about it.

They got to the portrait of the Fat Lady and when they entered, they found the common room packed with students. Hermione was by the door, waiting on them. Not one out of the four of them knew what to say, so they each mumbled their thanks to one another before grabbing their plates to finish the feast.
