On Halloween night, the great hall has floating Jack O'Lanterns in the places of the candles. Harry notices an empty spot on the bench.
"Where's Hermione?" He questioned.
"Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon, crying, and Wanda Fury is also there trying to cheer her up." Neville answered Harry.
Harry glances at Ron with a disapproving look on his face, but Ron just shrugs off his shoulders, completely not caring about his hurtful comments.
Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes running into the Great Hall in panic.
"TROLLS!!! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLLS IN THE DUNGEON!" Quirrell shouted anxiously.
Dumbledore rises from his seat in concern. Everyone looks at Quirrell as he stops near the entrance.
Quirrell spoke again, breaking the silence he has caused. "Thought you ought to know."
Quirrell passes out in fear. The great hall goes silent again, and then everyone freaks out and started screaming and running.
"SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE!" Dumbledore's loud authoritative voice is heard, making everyone stop and calm down.
"Everyone, please do not panic! Now, prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons." Dumbledore continued after the students calmed down and started giving instructions.
Perfects of each house Immediately began leading the students towards their common rooms. Suddenly, Harry stops and pulls Ron aside.
"Hermione and Wanda! They don't know!" Harry spoke worriedly.
The two separate themselves from the crowd and start running down a hall when they stop because there's a grunting noise coming from a large shadow on the wall.
"I think the troll left the dungeon!" Ron said with a scared face.
Harry pulls Ron into a doorway, they peer out to see large, ugly troll thunks by into a room.
"It's going into the girl's bathroom!" Harry whispers into Ron's ear.
In the girl's bathroom, Hermione emerges from a stall, wiping her eyes. She passed the handkerchief to her friend and walks towards the basin to wash her face, but stops when she sees something.
The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up into the stall just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stall.
The Troll smashes her club again at the screaming Hermione as crimson translucent shield forms above her, saving her from the fate of being smashed to bits.
"Are you okay?" Wanda questioned the frightened girl worriedly.
"Ye-yeah," Hermione replied, her face pale, devoid of any blood.
Wanda then waved her wand and sent a crimson blast that left a gaping hole inside the Troll's chest.
"Let's go I'm hungry!" Wanda approached the shocked Pikachu face Hermione, and said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Hermione nodded dumbly and followed Wanda outside. Hermione's shock became even bigger when they came out and saw Bryan standing with an unholstered wand shining purple, and multiple dead Trolls surrounding him.
"Hermione!!!" Harry shouted from the corner of the room bringing Hermione out of her shock.
"Harry!" Hermione spotted Harry and ran towards him, she also saw Ron but ignored him as she saw his pea size brain has stopped working.
"Harry, wh-what happened here?" Hermione questioned Harry, her voice stuttering when her eyes met Bryan's purple glowing eyes.
Harry recited how they came to save her but were attacked by a bunch of Trolls, and just as they thought they were going to die, Bryan came and save them.
Hermione's turned her head back to Bryan as she saw him put his White/purple wand back into its holster and walked towards them, or more like towards Wanda standing beside her.
Once Bryan reached them, Wanda introduce her to Bryan, who nodded his head at her in acknowledgement.
For a moment Hermione forgot about everything and thought about asking Bryan to let her inside his Family Library, which only opens for direct descendants of the Ancient Family of Fury and for those who have done a very big contribution to the Wizarding World.
From what Hermione remembered, the last non-Fury to enter the Library was Dumbledore after he made a big contribution to the Wizarding World.
She also read somewhere that after returning from The Library, Dumbledore broke through the third stage of magic core and become one of the strongest Wizards alive.
Although Hermione doesn't know much about magic core stages, she knows that the concept was introduced by Magnus Fury, Bryan's late grandfather.
"Hermione to Earth~" Wanda shook Hermione slightly which pulled her off her dazing.
"Sorry…" Hermione meekly apologised as her face blushed in embarrassment.
Her face blushed even harder when she heard Bryan's chuckle. Hermione grabbed Wanda's hand and dragged her outside with her head down, Harry also followed Hermione alongside Ron, leaving Bryan alone with a bunch of dead Trolls.
"You can come out now." Bryan suddenly spoke while looking towards the open door.
Bryan frowned seeing his stalker not coming outside, just as he was going to speak again, the stalker finally got out from hiding.
"Why are you following me," Bryan asked his rather cute stalker, Daphne Greengrass.
"I-I was worried after I saw you not leaving the great hall with the perfects." Answer the nervous girl.
Seeing the 11-year girl shiver nervously under his gaze, he felt bad and decided to not question her anymore.
From what little information he has about this girl from the fanfics he read in his previous life, he knew that she was a very kind girl who was trying to find a cure for her sister.
"Let's go back to the common room," Bryan said and walked towards the exit.
"What about the dead Trolls," Daphne questioned Bryan nervously as she hurriedly catches up to him.
"I'm sure someone will handle it," Bryan said while still walking. His words made the girl's lips twitch thinking about how shocked the teachers will be when they find the Trolls' bodies.
.
The next morning, in the great hall. The gang of yet-to-be golden trio sitting and eating their breakfast. Harry was twirling his food on a fork as look towards the Slytherin table where Bryan was eating his own breakfast.
In his mind, Harry's been thinking about how he can beat someone like Bryan who can easily kill trolls in today's quidditch game.
"Take a bit of toast, mate, go on." Ron encouraged Harry seeing him absent mindly playing with his food.
"Ron's right, Harry. You're gonna need your strength today." Hermione also encouraged Harry, but their encouragement didn't work.
In the Original Timeline, Harry was a nervous, unconfident, scrawny boy who haven't felt an ounce of love. Defeating Troll was a major part of which he gained a bit of confidence that only increased after he won the quidditch match against the Slytherin, but in this Timeline only he didn't defeat the Troll, but the one did will be his opponent in the soon to be held quidditch match.
"I'm not hungry…" Harry muttered dejectedly and let go of his fork.
"Eat it and don't worry about Bryan, even though he's almost perfect in everything but when it comes to games and sports, he's terrible." Wanda who was eating her own food spoke and encouraged Harry as well.
Her words have more convincing in them than Hermione's and Ron's.
Harry's eyes lit up in hope as he asked, "Really?"
Wanda looked up from her food and nodded with a smile.
Harry found her smile that of an angel, but her next word changes his perspective.
"If he doesn't cheat that is…" Wanda finished, still smiling, this time her smile looks like the devil's to Harry.
