Chapter 136: CH:136:)
Hermione closely followed Daphne, leading half the first year Slytherins out of the great hall.
"—Sophie's not back!"
She twitched toward the sound. Padma Patil and Lisa Turpin rushed past. She grabbed Lisa's arm. "What's going on?"
"Sophie doesn't know about the Troll and we can't find her. She went to the bathroom." Daphne whirled around.
Hermione's stomach dropped. "The first floor bathroom?" "Out of order."
"And the second floor has the ghost." "Hermione!" Daphne jumped in front of her. "You can't seriously be thinking—" "Third floor bathroom! C'mon!" She dodged around Daphne and charged forward. Behind her she heard following footsteps. "Save me from your stupid Gryffindor tendencies!"
Harry heard the rumble of a half score hundred feet far earlier than the end of the feast should dictate. He tensed. It had started. Soon, Quirrellmort should be here and he could see how far his pray had gotten.
$RIP$ $TEAR$ $KILL$
Blood drained from Harry's face. No.
A dozen metres away down the corridor, a small round hole formed in the wall and rapidly increased in size.
No.
He pressed himself to the wall, still as he could.
$KILL HUGE BEASITE$ $RIIPPPP$
Adrenaline flowed through him. So long as he gave no indication he was here he should be okay. Just so long as he didn't move. Not. One. Inch.
A huge body slithered out of the passage and a head as large as he stood tall paused in its advance to the door. Teeth as long as his leg chomped together mere feet from him. Magic's perfect killing machine tilted its head and sniffed the air.
Far off, he heard the faint approaching sound of phoenix song.
The huge snake turned its head and looked straight at where he stood, flat against the wall.
Not. One. Inch.
He felt an SOS vibration on his lightening bolt ring. Fuck.
Sophie finished her business in the strangely normal bathroom stall. Given all the other weird thing's she'd seen in the wizarding world, she still expected to find a toilet that made her sit down on it upside-down, or perhaps one that commented on the colour of her knickers, or something equally outlandish.
She stuck her hands under the running sink taps, rinsed them, and looked for some method of drying, of which there wasn't one.
She sighed and wiped them on her robes, then brightened. She'd met John Potter, if only to ask him directions. That was cool. It wasn't every day you met a real life story book hero. Sophie hummed a tune, turned around and stilled.
Stench filled her nostrils.
She looked up.
She looked up more.
A horrific face looked down on her.
She frowned. "This is the girl's bathroom!"
John Potter's feet walked up towards the Gryffindor common room. Everything was well with the world. Nothing could possibly concern him.
"And then what happened?" someone said. Ron? Yes, it was Ron. "I saw the troll. Big and stinky it was," said John Potter's mouth.
"Think the Dark let it in?" John Potter's feet continued walking.
The Dark? Something about the Dark.
John Potter's mouth opened again, but no words came out.
"You okay mate?" John Potter's feet stopped. John Potter's feet? Feet. Feet. The Dark, letting something in. Something bad. Something he had to stop. His feet! "No!" He shook himself.
Ron stumbled. "Mate?" He started running. "What! Where are you going?"
Screams emanated ahead of them.
from
the
bathroom
Hermione lunged for the handle and yanked back the door.
A huge figure stood, poised, club raised over a scene of total destruction, and one terrified witch.
"Accio Sophie!"
Sophie shrieked. The club descended right where the girl had been crouching.
Daphne shoved by her. "Stupefy!"
The spell did nothing. The troll turned to the door.
"Stupefy!"
Lisa also shoved by her and grabbed Sophie's ankle.
The troll raised its club again.
Hermione dived to the side.
"Stupefy!"
Padma leapt into the space where she's just been standing.
The club descended.
Padma opened her mouth to scream. "Diffindo!" Hermione's spell shattered the club. Bits flew everywhere.
Sophie continued to scream her head off. The troll looked at the useless stump of its club.
"Stupefy!"
