"Oh Granger, I thought you knew better. You shouldn't let what other people say affect you, you're too smart for that."
"I can't help it. Normally I can just ignore it, but today when Ron said-"
"Wait, you're listening to Ronald, see now I know you've gone mental."
"No! I mean yes. Sort of, don't interpret me. My point is that what Ron said made me finally realize, it's been months since school started yet I'm still in the same position I was back then. I have no friends, my housemates think I'm annoying, and worst of all I've just realized that I forgot to return a book back to the library."
"Look Grang- Hermione, while I can't exactly say I know what you are going through, I can sympathize at least. What you need to understand is that there will always be a Ronald wherever you go saying mean things to you. But you shouldn't listen to them, you should pity them. Pity them for being too stupid to understand just how great you really are. Trust me, when I tell you this, but you're something special. Chances are that you will graduate Hogwarts and then go out to do something amazing in the world, whatever it might be. Then you will look back to this moment and curse yourself for being stupid enough to let someone's passing comment make you doubt yourself."
"…"
"…"
"…God, I really hate you sometimes, you know," she said, banging her head against the wall, "how are you so- so perfect?"
"Hahaha," I gave a short laugh while opening up the window that had the countdown timer for the event, "I flattered you to think that, but I'm not perfect. I have flaws the same as everyone else, I'm just a lot better at hiding them."
"Being humble isn't helping your case."
"No really, even though I have a couple things I'm bad at."
"…Like what?"
"Well, I can't stand gnomes for one. I have a major superiority complex. I have a minor case of OCD. And I've been told I can be overbearing on more than one occasion. So you see, I'm not perfect, you just haven't gotten to know me that well yet."
I really needed to hurry things along so I reached under the door with my finger and waited. I didn't have to wait for long as I felt another pair of fingers grab mine, "Besides, Ronald got one thing wrong. You do have a friend. So what do you say, want to get off this dirty floor already and head back to the feast?"
She gave an audible sigh, before the sound of her standing up prompted me to do the same.
Slowly the door creaked open and Hermione stood there looking uncertain, "So were friends now?"
"Weeelll, more like friends/rivals. I mean if you want?"
The bright smile she gave me could have put my lumos spell to shame, "I would like that."
"Great, then I should also mention that you're off to a bad start on the friendship scale."
"Huh, wait, why?"
"It's my birthday today, and you didn't get me anything?"
"What!?" she shouted in surprise.
"Just kidding!"
"Oh, thank goodness. So, it isn't your birthd-"
"Oh no, it is. I just wasn't expecting anything?"
Her next response was cut off short as I watched her eyes grow to enormous proportions as she stammered for a response.
[You sense danger!]
Perfect, right on time.
"T-t-t-t-"
"Huh? What are you trying to say? You're pulling a Quirrell," I continued as if nothing was wrong even as I tracked the troll turning the corner on my map.
"T-troll," she said, visibly frightened.
"Troll? Oh, I get it. Trying to pay me back, not really funny though."
As the stomping got closer, I finally turned around, 'Observe'.
[Mountain Troll LV 43
HP: 24,000/ 24,000
MP: 200/200]
Slowly I backed away, putting on a scared expression.
It must have taken this as a sign of weakness as it gave an earth-shattering battle cry, raising its club high into the air.
I pushed Hermione fully into the bathroom before locking it from the outside. I dodged to the side at the same time that the club smashed into the old wooden door, making it deform slightly.
Hermione's frightened screams pierced my ears at the same time that I took out the box of every flavor of beans and threw it at the troll's head to get its attention. I only had a few seconds to lead it away before more unwanted guests would arrive.
The box seemed to do the trick as it turned to roar in my direction, hefting its mighty weapon.
With a grin I took off.
Running through the hall, I carefully led the troll on a wild goose chase around the school, making sure to avoid the would-be paths of travelling students. I also made sure to be as noticeable as possible to gain the attention of the portraits. I needed them as valuable witnesses after all.
"Quick in here," a nearby painting that I had befriended earlier today said pointing to a door as the other chose to vacate their canvases as soon as I got near.
Entering an empty classroom, I shut the door behind me and made it to the other side just as the troll smashed his way inside.
When it tried to roar again, I threw a jelly bean inside of its mouth.
As it turned turns out, I finally got a chance to use my newly gained knowledge of magical plants from the Plant Dungeon. That wasn't an actual jelly bean but a super concentrated mixture of the most potent poisons I could find, shaped into bean form.
Even now I could see the beast's health slowly decreasing as the poison took effect.
I reached under one of the desks where I had hidden one of the Weasley's pranks earlier today and threw it at the troll's face.
