________________________________________________________________________________________

While the two frozen boys and I were looking at the troll, he came down with the club on the door and with a crash it was destroyed.

"Kyaaahh!"

And just as the door was destroyed we heard a female scream coming from inside the bathroom, and that was enough to unfreeze the two Gryffindors in front of me.

""Hermione!"" the two exclaimed in panic.

They then looked at each other and with a mutual understanding they rushed to help Granger, with the troll already having entered the bathroom.

And I, not trusting the plot or the stupidity and luck of those two, followed them silently behind.

The two then entered the bathroom and saw Granger frozen in panic huddled in the corner of the bathroom, while the troll approached her destroying the stalls around her with his club.

"Try to distract him for me" Potter said to Weasley who nodded shakily.

Potter then started to sneak behind the troll, and Weasley took one of the pieces of sink the troll had broken and threw at his head.

"Hey! Look at me you ugly thing!" Weasley yelled, causing the troll to turn to him.

Potter, who was behind the troll, bent his knees to jump, but just as he tried to jump on the troll's back, he ended up slipping on the wet bathroom floor.

The troll that heard the noise then turned, and seeing easy prey on the ground he wasted no time. The five-metre gray, stinky creature quickly reached out its long arms and caught Potter in its hand.

Potter then started screaming in panic, with Weasley throwing more pieces of debris in a futile attempt to save his friend. And I who was watching all this happen while peeking through the bathroom door could only shake my head and curse in my mind.

"Damn it" I cursed under my breath, realizing that now I would have to get involved.

'At least I was right to follow them here' I thought.

I then got out of where I was hiding under the surprised stares of the trio of idiots, and ran to the front of the troll.

As soon as I stopped in front of the troll, I quickly pulled my wand from its holster and launched a high-powered {Lumos Duo} at its eyes. Which was enough to disorient him and make him let go of Potter and the club.

As soon as Potter fell to the ground, I used a silent {Accio} on his clothes to bring him towards me. And that was enough time for the troll to pull himself together, and as soon as he saw me he let out an irritated grunt.

I could use my Beast Talk to try to calm him down, but it's well known that trolls are primitive, irrational and aggressive creatures, so this would likely fail.

If I was alone with the troll I would have used some powerful and deadly spells, but at this point I was with three kids who don't know how to keep a secret or don't know how to keep their noses out of other people's subject, so I could only settle for a few spells that they would know.

The troll that was watching me then braced his legs on the ground, intending to run towards me. And while he was doing that, I levitated his club, and using the transfiguration I turned it into a big sharpened spike of iron.

I then stared at the troll with him staring back at me, just like in the old western movies. The troll then grunted and lunged at me, but before it got too close, I cast the spike with the {Impulse} spell to give it more power and speed, causing it to dart forward.

And just as the troll was about to catch up with me, the spike flew across its chest. And once the spike passed the troll it turned back to a wooden club, which shattered as soon as it hit the wall, leaving a crack behind.

The bathroom then descended into tense silence, with the troll stopped halfway to catch up with us, with a big hole in your chest. And in the next instant, the troll began to tumble forward, falling to the ground with a crash.

*Bang!*

"..."

"..."

"..."

The bathroom then descended into another silence, with the three Gryffindors behind me staring open-mouthed and shocked at the scene in front of them.

And before either of them could speak or do anything, hurried footsteps were heard coming towards the bathroom.

"What happened here?!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed as she entered the bathroom, with the other heads of house, Quirrell and the Headmaster right behind her.

'Shit... I should have learned the Disillusionment Charm'

__________________________________________________________________

After the teachers arrived in the bathroom, they started bombarding us with questions, with Professor Sprout checking us out to make sure we didn't have any scratches. Headmaster then decided that it would be a better idea if we talked about it in the Hospital Wing, and while he took us there, Professor Sprout and Professor Quirrell were in charge of tidying up the bathroom and taking the troll's dead body to another place.

Arriving in the hospital wing, matron Madam Pomfrey saw the state of Granger and Potter and immediately began to be a dragon mother. And after some inspection spells, some calming potions, and a scolding from Poppy "The Dragon" Pomfrey, we were ready to talk about what had happened.

"So would you like to tell us what you were doing outside your common rooms and with a dead troll in the bathroom?" Professor McGonagall began the questioning, looking at us with her lips pursed in a thin line with the fury contained in her voice.

"Eh... Well..." Weasley started not knowing what to say, looking around for help.

'Very subtle Weasley…very subtle' I thought as I rolled my eyes.

And before Weasley could curl up any further, Granger came to the rescue.

"They came after me," Granger said.

"Miss Granger?" Professor McGonagall asked confused.

"I went after the troll because I thought I could fight him. I've read all about them, you know?" she said, looking down sheepishly not noticing the shocked look on Potter and Weasley's faces, "If they hadn't come to save me I would be dead by now"

Professor McGonagall then looked at her for a few seconds, judging her response before turning to me.

"That's true?" she asked, and I snorted at that.

"The part about saving her? Yes, that's true. Now about her going to face the troll alone... Puff, do you really think she, soon she, would do something like that?" I asked rhetorically, resisting the urge to roll my eyes at this obvious lie.

"So sir could you tell us exactly what happened?" Professor Snape asked slowly, almost mockingly, but I think seeing a dead troll in the bathroom with four firts years was enough to hold himself back.

"Well I don't know the real reason she's in the bathroom" I said pointing to Granger, before pointing to Potter and Weasley, "But I believe these two went out to warn her, as I don't remember her being at the banquet, so she didn't hear about the troll's warning," I continued.

"And you, Ethan. Why were you there too?" Professor Flitwick asked curiously, ignoring the trio's surprised look as he called me by name.

'Well... Now it's time for my story'

End.

(End AN: Hello beautiful readers! I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far, even if it's a little slow, hehe.

I want to leave a little information in this AN, especially for those who made a comment cursing the MC or my story.

First off I would like to say that Ethan is not an adult and neither is he mindset one. The sum of their ages is not the same as having life experience, something he only had until adolescence (since he died at 17). He didn't live long enough in his first life to have the responsibilities of an adult, and so he doesn't have the life experiences of one.

Okay, he's more mature than some teenagers, but understand he basically is still a teenager. So if at any point you find his attitude immature or childish, think about it.

But don't worry, I also understand the fact that I made it a little childish, and it was because of my mistake that I had to come up with a future explanation as to why.

I hope Ethan's attitude doesn't bother you, the same way I ask people who cursed in the comments to stop reading my story, or at least keep your opinion to yourself. Thanks)
