Harry's Troll Encounter
"Hermione wasn't in the hall" Adrian answered "we heard about the troll and went to look for her, when we got there the troll was already there"
"My goodness" McGonagall said "what happened next?"
"They helped me escape professor" Hermione spoke "we had started running and then the troll followed us"
"And you lead it right to us" Tracy interrupted
"What do you mean?" Snape asked
"The troll followed those three and they were running straight at us and the other Slytherin's" Tracy answered "if it wasn't for Harry we would have gotten in a lot of trouble"
"What did Mr Potter do?" Dumbledore asked curiously
"Professor" Daphne spoke after regaining her senses from the kiss "he saw the troll coming and told the rest of us to run, he then ran towards the trio and the troll. He got past them and then the troll tried to hit him, he avoided it and got behind the troll after he had blinded it with a Lumos spell. He then shot it in the back of the head with an Incendio and a stunner"
"That was very foolish of you" McGonagall admonished "did you truly believe you could stop a troll like that?"
"No" Harry shook his head "I thought I could get its attention with that"
"And he did" Daphne added "the troll chased him and he led it away from the rest of us, I don't know what happened after that"
"Mr Potter" Dumbledore spoke "what happened?"
"I led the troll up the staircases" Harry answered "I think it was around the fourth staircase where I stopped and shot it in the eye with a stinging hex, I then did the same with the other eye and shot a reducto curse under its feet. After that I jumped off the staircase and..."
"You what?!" Several voices said at the same time
"I jumped off the staircase" Harry repeated "and I grabbed the railing of the staircase below that to stop myself from plummeting to my doom, I then shot a few more reducto curses at the underbelly of the staircase and then I used Bombarda maxima to destroy the staircase and the troll fell to right where it is right now"
"Are you insane?!" Adrian exclaimed
"Little bit" Harry admitted
"Mr Potter, you've caused immense damage" Dumbledore said "I..."
"Mr Potter has saved lives" McGonagall interrupted "forget the staircases, they can be repaired."
"But Minerva..."
"I am also in agreement" Snape responded "Mr Potter has saved the life of many students today at the risk of his own"
"Yes" McGonagall nodded before turning to the golden trio "you would have received five points for each for attempting to rescue Miss Granger" She then turned to Harry "firstly I would like to gift you ten points for advanced spell knowledge, twenty points for saving your friends and fellow students and twenty more for defeating a troll"
"Thank you" Harry smiled
"You are welcome" McGonagall replied "now I would like you all to go back to your dormitories"
"Yes ma'am" Harry nodded. One prefect went back to the library to tell everyone what had happened and to tell them to return to the dormitories while the other had decided to lead Harry, Daphne and Tracy back to the common room.
"You're mad, you know that right?" Tracy said to Harry
"And an idiot" Daphne added
"In my defence, I actually did know that" Harry replied
"You are one crazy kid Potter" The prefect chuckled
"All Potters are crazy in some way or form" Harry replied
"It's just a shame that you're type of crazy is the one that could get you killed" Daphne responded
"Nah" Harry shook his head
"Nah?" Tracy asked
"I'm going to live a long life" Harry said confidently
"How'd you figure that?" Daphne asked
"I've done a lot of crazy stuff over the years" Harry yawned "if I was going to die then I would've done it by now"
"Do I even want to know?"
"Not really" Harry answered honestly
"Fine but you will tell me one day" Daphne ordered
"Yes ma'am" Harry saluted "so, anything interesting happened while I was off defeating the troll?"
"Yes" Tracy grinned "yes, something very interesting happened"
"Something funny?" Harry asked
"Hilarious" Tracy replied
"Okay, I'll bite, what happened?"
"Your girlfriend punched Malfoy in the face"
"I beg your pardon?!" A wide smile appeared on Harry's face as he looked at the blushing Daphne "Daph did you actually punch Malfoy in the face?!"
"Yes she did" Tracy answered before Daphne could say anything "once you left Malfoy was saying you were going to die and basically told Daphne that he was still here, Daphne didn't like that but punched him in the face"
"Awesome!" Harry looked like Christmas had come early "Daph, we are definitely getting married now!"
"It was nothing" Daphne insisted
"Wait a sec" Harry grabbed the hand that Daphne used to punch Malfoy "we should probably get your hand looked at"
"You fought a troll but you want me to get looked at?" Daphne, Tracy and the prefect looked at Harry with disbelief.
"Troll didn't hit me" Harry pointed out "all I got was a bit tired."
"You're unbelievable" The prefect shook his head "and don't worry, I had already checked your girlfriends hand after you left, she's fine"
"Oh, good" Harry smiled
"Mad" Tracy whispered "utterly mad"
"But not deaf" Harry whispered to Tracy who stuck her tongue out at him.
