The troll attack

Without wasting any more time, Extimum headed to the girls' bathroom on the first floor. Along the way, he covered himself with a layer of illusion magic to avoid being seen.

He wasn't worried about things like it being the girls' bathroom, or that there were other people there, after all, he just goes what he's going, he has no interest in spying and unless it was for fun, frankly Extimum didn't believe that with his appearance would have to resort to such methods to get a look.

Extimum: 'Heh, who needs the invisibility cloak when you have such a useful spell, unless of course it really hides you from death.'

Upon reaching the entrance to the bathroom, Extimum crossed the doors and entered directly into it.

Once inside, it wasn't hard to tell where Hermione was when you could hear her crying immediately upon entering the place. Extimum even wondered how she could cry for an entire afternoon, or perhaps she took breaks and then continued?

The door to her bathroom was closed, but with a little magic it wasn't a problem at all, so, with a slight shake of his hand, the door lock was lifted and the door was opened.

Hermione was sitting on the floor with her head between her arms that were resting on the toilet seat. Given the sound of her crying and Extimum's generally quiet demeanor, she didn't notice his entrance.

In one swift motion, Extimum lifted Hermione by her hips and sat her on his lap as he sat on the toilet.

Hermione: "Ahhhh, who-who!?" Hermione screamed in surprise and then asked somewhat brokenly due to tears.

Extimum: "Shh, it's me." Extimum had no experience comforting others, so he did everything he could think of, gently rubbing their back and releasing his aura sending a calming effect, however, since the aura was still very weak, although it helped a little, it didn't seem affect her too much.

Hermione: "It's you, what do you want? I'm not in the mood now, go away, you also just want to make fun of me." Hermione's breathing had recovered so even if she was still crying a little, she was able to speak normally.

Extimum tried to calm her down, but his efforts didn't seem to work, it didn't seem as simple as he had imagined it would be.

Hermione, on the other hand, tried to free herself from his embrace and get up, but Extimum wouldn't let her.

As he quickly thought about his options, he again felt a call from his bloodline, this time, however, its intention left him baffled. His bloodline told him to bite her.

Extimum was trying to make sense of the message, but it didn't make sense and as he thought about it, Hermione broke free of his arms.

Since he wasn't actually holding her tightly, after a bit of struggling she was able to free herself.

Once free, Hermione headed for the bathroom door, leaving Extimum no time to think of more ways to calm her down.

With no other option, he simply approached her before she walked out the door and wrapped his arms around her waist from her back, then moved some of her hair away and bit the area between her neck and shoulder.

A sudden silence seemed to descend at that moment over the previously noisy bathrooms.

Contemplating the difference it almost seemed like time had stopped, one moment the bathroom was noisy and then a dead silence settled in the room and neither of them seemed to move.

**dripping sound**

In the quiet bathrooms only the very occasional sound of a drop of water hitting the floor could be heard.

The silence seemed to be postponed for a few minutes until suddenly, a faint moan could be heard.

Hearing Hermione's soft moan brought Extimum out of his stupor, immediately separating himself from her.

He took a few steps back to give her space, however, when he had only taken the second step, Hermione seemed to lose strength in her legs and fell back into his arms.

The situation seemed to fall into an awkward silence again, however, this time for different reasons. Both Extimum and Hermione had experienced a myriad of sensations the moment Extimum bit her.

Extimum: 'That was... mind-blowing in more ways than one.' That was the only thing he could think as he remembered the sensations he experienced.

For Extimum, the moment he bit Hermione, his mind was jolted by an unexpected sensory shock.

First he went from a slight shudder to a euphoria, then as the sensation was settling in, he felt great complacency as if he had accomplished something, and when he thought the sensations were over, he was hit by a flow of unintelligible information of the kind you could understand, but not knowing how you got to it.

If before he could know Hermione's emotional state through the psychic link, after drinking a little of her blood it was as if he had strengthened the link and obtained a whole report from her.

Although the effect of the strengthening of the bond did not seem permanent, but with the strengthening of the bond, it was also hit by some of the chaotic emotions that Hermione was experiencing herself.

Extimum was not a vampire, so he did not actually drink much of his blood, however, just that little bit he had drank gave his body the feeling of being filled with energy, accompanied by a very pleasant feeling, but more than pleasant. It was its flavor... it was so... Intoxicating…so…addictive, so much so, that for a moment he had felt his sanity falter.

Another aspect that Extimum noticed when separating from Hermione, was that her saliva seemed to have a small healing effect, although not very strong, if it was strong enough to close the small holes that must have been left after the bite, unlike the pristine skin that he observed.

Hermione on the other hand, felt something completely different.

--Pov Hermione--

Hermione was angry, upset and sad, but mostly sad.

In the short time she had been at Hogwarts she had given her best and worked hard, but most of the students didn't really care that seriously about their studies and mainly wanted to play.

This situation had been slowly distancing her from everyone. She had tried to socialize a little, but his attempts didn't seem to go very well for the most part. Then there were her annoying housemates, especially Ron Weasley, always finding a moment to say bad things about her, when he just needed to try harder himself.

On the other hand, there was also Extimum, although her first approaches weren't exactly ideal and were even a little annoying, with him taking her hand and dragging her to dinner without her consent, but over time it wasn't that bad and she even enjoyed it a little of the moment they shared.

However, today, with Ron's comment, something exploded inside her and she simply couldn't take it anymore, so she went to the bathrooms to vent her sorrows. After that and to her irritation, someone had somehow entered her cubicle and woke her up from her wailing state.

Hermione: "Ahhhh, who-who!?"

Extimum: "Shh, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice of the person who was holding her in his arms and trying to comfort her, she was able to recognize him immediately, so she cleared her throat to speak and try to scare him away.

Hermione: "It's you! What do you want? I'm not in the mood right now, so leave. You also just want to make fun of me."

She didn't really want to say that, but now she felt really bad and she didn't want anyone to see her in this state, so she tried to free herself from his arms and after a little effort, she managed to get out. Not wanting to stay here anymore, she decided to go somewhere else.

And as she broke away from Extimum's arms and headed towards the door, she suddenly felt like she was grabbed again by her waist and before she could start to protest again, she felt a light sting in the area between her neck and shoulder and After that, everything seemed to go blank.

Her body received an intense reaction. All the hairs on her body stood on end and her body became slightly stiff, but not long after, that feeling disappeared and instead, it was as if her body was bathed by a warm breeze or massaged by warm waters.

At the same time, her mind felt as if it were caressed by clouds as soft as cotton, as slowly, all of her chaotic emotions and grievances seemed to dissipate or at least become largely pacified.

It was as if her mind and body were floating through the clouds. Everything was so serene and calm…so peaceful, however, the comfortable feeling that ran through her body and mind was quickly transformed from a comfortable feeling to an exhilarating one.

Just feeling it run through her body once and she couldn't help but suffer a slight shudder, followed by which, new and unknown sensations filled her senses and enveloped her body, causing her already relaxed body to soften and lose a little strength.

Hermione: "~Huuh~~ ". Hermione let out a slight involuntary moan.

Shortly after the moan escaped her mouth, she felt Extimum move away from her body and lose her footing, however, her body felt soft and when he pulled away, her legs couldn't support her and she slid backwards, ended up falling back into his arms.

The sensations were simply too spontaneous and intense and she hadn't been prepared, although even if she had been, she doubted her outcome would have been much better.

Especially the last sensation, although she couldn't describe it under the cloudy state her mind was in, left a small, almost imperceptible spark inside her of longing.

Even up until this moment, with everything that had happened, Hermione hadn't once wondered what Extimum was doing in the women's bathroom.

--End Pov—

Hermione: "w-what was that?" Still a little dazed from the previous experience, Hermione asked as she looked up to meet Extimum's gaze still holding her in his arms. (no spiderman kiss for you, XD it's still too early.)

Extimum, who was also a little distracted, came to his senses when he heard Hermione's question, but when he was about to answer her, his words stayed in his mouth when he heard heavy footsteps approaching from the entrance of the women's bathroom.

The sound of footsteps also completely woke Hermione up, although she still felt a little boneless, but she was able to stand up properly using Extimum for support, only to see the imminent entrance of a large, slightly fat bipedal creature into the bathrooms.

Only now did Extimum remember why he had come here besides comforting Hermione. He had been so focused on Hermione and the sensation of having bitten her, that he had completely forgotten about it.

Trolls are fearsome creatures approximately three and a half meters tall and weighing more than a ton. Both their strength and their stupidity stand out; It is often violent and unpredictable, a bit like giants. The smartest ones were trained as guardians and can even speak a few words in the human language.

Trolls eat raw meat and practically don't care where it comes from; They are not disgusted by anything, they hunt everything from wild animals to people.

The troll that Hermione and Extimum were facing was a mountain troll, one of the three derivatives of the race, these being among the largest and most ferocious of their species.

His skin was pale gray and his head was bald with large ears, his body had a slightly disproportionate shape, some parts such as his hands or feet were bigger and thicker than his arms and legs and he only wore a few dirty and dirty cloths. Worn as a vest and loincloth.

The troll walked at a slow pace, while carrying a crude club in one of his hands, which was probably just a crudely shaped tree trunk.

The troll's face was what one would expect from a troll, with a silly look and a little saliva flowing from his mouth, he also carried a strong smell around him and a wandering look.

Just when Hermione was about to scream from the surprise and pressure caused by the intimidating creature, Extimum quickly covered her mouth, but, it was too late, the movement and the suppressed sound had already caught the attention of the troll who, although He hadn't seen them, he had had his attention directed in their direction.

Extimum hugged Hermione's waist and quickly walked backwards as he walked deeper into the cubicle, closing the door at the same time.

Although this wouldn't stop the troll, given the distance from the bathroom entrance and the cubicle they were in, coupled with the fact that the troll wasn't very intelligent, it could at least delay him until Harry and Ron arrived.

Extimum: 'Well, now all that remains is for Harry and Ron to arrive, with them being present, the situation should develop in a similar way.' Of course Extimum would intervene, but he had to first let the situation develop to a certain climax before interfering.

Hermione on the other hand, although she had calmed down a bit because of Extimum's presence and that the troll had not found them yet, but that didn't stop her from getting a little anxious, she didn't know Extimum's capabilities, but even if she knew them that might not necessarily make her feel safe when a troll with a club was covering the only exit to the bathrooms.

So she was trying to think of some way they could get out. She did not even consider facing him, she did not believe in their possibilities, furthermore, it was known that trolls as well as some other magical creatures had a certain resistance to direct magic, although it was very weak, it was not something that the current her could overcome.

Another point is that when you face a troll, it is likely that the first thing you think is not to fight but, on the contrary, to flee.

As this was happening, Extimum suddenly felt a strong feeling of crisis and covered himself and Hermione with a layer of telekinetic force.

The troll had not waited and with a movement of his arm, his baton destroyed the entire upper part of the bathroom stalls, sending splinters flying everywhere and covering Extimum and Hermione with some pieces of wood.

Hermione: "Ahhh!!!" Hermione screamed in terror as the wooden walls covering them exploded and covered them in some debris.

Extimum was no less upset, although he did not scream, he was surprised by the troll's abrupt attack.

Extimum: 'You shouldn't try to measure the actions of a troll with logic.'

With the situation developing, Extimum was ready to act if Ron and Harry did not arrive in the next few seconds.

Currently he and Hermione were covered by the rubble of the bathrooms that served as cover so the troll would not discover them in a short time. Furthermore, since the telekinetic field was still active, their mobility was not really restricted, so, while If he struggled a little, with his great physical strength it wouldn't be a problem to get out of there with Hermione.

At the same time, the bathroom doors opened and Harry and Ron entered the bathroom just in time to see the troll knock down the walls of the bathroom stalls and Hermione's scream was heard.

Harry: "Hermione, Extimum! Move quickly." Harry was surprised to find Extimum next to Hermione in the bathroom.

Now that he thought about it, he didn't see him in the great hall, but he assumed he would be at the Ravenclaw table, however, given the situation, he didn't think much of it and focused on trying to help.

Ron: "What is Extimum doing here?"

Harry: "Ron, now is not the time for that."

Ron: "Huh, yeah."

After the small exchange, they quickly grabbed nearby objects and threw them at the Troll while shouting to try to get his attention and give Extimum and Hermione room to get away from the troll.

Ron: "Hey, dummy, here!". Ron yelled at the troll as he threw a piece of debris that happened to hit the troll in the head.

The blow to his head managed to catch the attention of the troll who turned to look at Ron. Extimum and Hermione on the other hand, quickly ran for cover to the other corner of the bathroom, however, their movement did not go unnoticed by the troll who waved his club in their direction.

Since the bathroom wasn't that big and there wasn't much to cover themselves in other than the sinks, Extimum once again covered himself and Hermione with an energy field, only for the sink they were hiding in to be quickly destroyed by The troll's blow and the club collided with the barrier, which rippled and cracked greatly as it resisted the blow.

Hermione: "Ahhhh!!!" Hermione screamed again as she saw the troll's club heading towards them, breaking the washes and only stopping a few centimeters from her face.

Hermione's face paled and a few drops of cold sweat ran down her forehead and back. The blow had been too sudden and he hadn't been able to avoid it, to make matters worse, she had lost her wand in the bathroom stall that was destroyed.

On the other hand, she only now noticed that there was a layer of translucent energy covering her and Extimum, however, she could not be content too soon when it began to crack slightly as it completely resisted the troll's blow.

Even Extimum couldn't help but sweat a little from the troll's strength. He was lucky that telekinesis magic was one of his strong suits, or he might have had to withstand the blow with his body and he wasn't entirely sure if his body could fight back or if he would be directly crushed into pulp.

Extimum: 'Damn, it's stronger than I expected, I think even with my preparations it's still too much for a direct clash.'

(A small change, when I refer to the use of telekinetic magic, I will better say it as energy in some cases, it is strange now that I think about it, after all, telekinesis is the ability to move objects with the mind and although the principle is similar, what it really does is magic and the design of its use is with your mind, but it will still be understandable).

(Now that I think about it, the energy field or layer is similar to the spell I protect, but it won't be as good at defending against spells, after all, I protect was made to defend against specific spells and the energy field is more of a barrier of energy made in a rustic way, so in addition to being very good against physical attacks, its effectiveness is greatly reduced against magic, although it can still stop or weaken it).

Harry, seeing that the situation was not good, mustered up his courage and jumped onto the troll's club which he had let rest for a moment near the ground in preparation for his next attack.

As the club passed over the troll's head, Harry immediately let go to fall onto its back and then grab onto its neck to prevent itself from falling.

Harry's actions surprised the troll who failed to hit the energy cloak protecting Extimum and Hermione again.

The troll was alarmed when he felt the weight and grip of someone on him, so he shook himself hard to try to throw him off.

On the other hand, Harry had managed to climb up the troll's back and was now sitting on its neck while gripping onto its head. Amidst the troll's erratic movements and his hold on its bald head, he ended up inserting the wand he had in his hand into the troll's nose. (Poor wand :v)

Feeling the wand buried in his nose, the Troll became more upset and tried to snort at it without success, while shaking his body. Seeing no effect, he seemed to come to a realization and grabbed Harry who was above his head.

Taking one of his feet, he pulled Harry up and held him hanging upside down.

Harry: "Help me!" Alarmed and now feeling a little afraid of his situation, Harry screamed for help.

Ron: "But what do I do?" Ron panicked a little, not knowing what to do.

Harry: "Whatever, but do something."

While they were talking, the troll used his baton to try to hit Harry who was hanging by his other hand.

Harry was barely able to dodge the blows by moving his torso to one side or flexing his body in desperate movements. Luckily, the troll wasn't very fast or very smart, otherwise he could have found more efficient ways to hurt Harry.

Extimum seeing the danger Harry was in, released a soft flash of light, strong enough to distract the troll, but not strong enough for it to become alarmed and throw Harry across the room.

Extimum: "Lumos!!!".

Although the light stopped the troll for a moment, he quickly ignored it as it was not of interest to him and tried to hit Harry again.

Ron could only think of the spell to levitate things, but he didn't have enough confidence to perform it correctly.

Hermione saw Ron's doubt immediately and quickly shouted to try to cheer him up.

Hermione: "Remember, swish and flick"

Ron took a deep breath and tried to perform the spell as best he could.

His efforts were rewarded, when the club that was swinging again in an attempt to hit Harry suddenly stopped and floated out of the troll's grasp, however, due to his nerves, the club faltered in its attempt and looked like it might fall at any time.

Hermione: "Oh no."

Although the club continued to rise higher into the air, the speed was not fast enough and the troll had already fixed its gaze on it.

Without considering it too much, Extimum ran out of his energy field and jumped towards the troll, taking advantage of one of the troll's legs he rose even higher and grabbed the club that was floating upwards and brought it down with all his strength in the troll's head.

The club was heavy, he could barely shake it under the aid of the levitation spell and the force of its fall when Ron released his control.

**Bam**

The club hit the troll's head forcefully, shaking him a little and leaving an obvious sign of dizziness and pain on his face.

Dazed and in pain, the troll moved around wildly, shaking Harry all over the place.

Forcing Extimum to retreat to avoid being hit.

**Woahhh**

Seeing the situation, Ron felt angry with himself for having failed in his effort. He wiped the sweat from his hands and grabbed his wand again with a new firmness in him and shouted.

Ron: "Wingardium leviosa!"

The club that had already fallen to the floor shot out from its place and hit the troll squarely in its stomach.

**Ughrg***

The blow deflated the troll and made him stop in his movements, while he released his grip on Harry's foot, causing him to fall to the ground shortly after.

Taking advantage of the situation and not wanting to leave the situation to chance, Extimum launched an energy blow directly at the troll's head, which ended up knocking him out completely and falling with a crash on the bathroom floor.

Harry, although slightly dizzy, had already crawled quickly away from the troll before it fell.

Everyone sighed when they saw the troll fall to the ground and not get back up and they approached cautiously to confirm it.

Extimum, on the other hand, could sense that the troll had been knocked out and approached more confidently; otherwise, he would not approach an enemy so easily, even if the troll was not clever enough to fake his fall.

Hermione: "Is he dead, Harry?" Hermione asked uncertainly to Harry who was closest to the troll at the moment.

Harry: "I don't think so... he's just knocked out."

Extimum: "In fact, I don't think that with just those few hits the troll would die, even if they went straight to the head."

Harry approached the troll's head and pulled out his wand, which was covered in mucus from his nose.

Harry: "Ughh, that's disgusting."

Ron: "Ughh, troll snot."

Both Harry and Ron, who was next to him, complained about how disgusting it was, although curiously Harry cleaned it on his robe.

While they were doing this, footsteps were heard and Professor McGonagall accompanied by Snape and Quirrell entered the bathroom.

McGonagall: "Oh, for Merlin's sake, please explain to me what you are doing here." McGonagall exclaimed in alarm as she entered the bathroom with a troll on the floor and everything around her destroyed.

Harry: "Uh…"

Ron: "Well…"

Harry and Ron found themselves in the dilemma of not knowing exactly how to explain it, say that they fought a troll? Or the fact that they snuck away when they should be in their common room? None of the reasons seemed the most appropriate for them get out of the problem.

At that moment, Hermione intervened and spoke.

Hermione: "It was my fault, Professor McGonagall." Her statement impressed the teachers present and even Harry and Ron.

McGonagall: "Miss Granger...?" McGonagall asked for more and at the same time questioned, she found it surprising that Hermione, one of her best students who didn't usually get into trouble, was involved.

Hermione: "Oh, well, I was the one who went out to look for the troll. I read about them and I thought I would control it, but i was wrong, if Harry, Ron and Extimum hadn't found me, I wouldn't have made it out alive." Hermione said slowly, testing her own words as she said them.

McGonagall: "Despite your intentions, you did something extremely dangerous, I always thought you were more cautious than your classmates and I am very disappointed, Miss Granger. 5 points will be deducted from Gryffindor for your complete lack of good judgment." McGonagall said clearly disappointed by Hermione's behavior.

Just hearing her admission and reasons was enough for her not to listen to anything else. After finishing reprimanding her, she fixed her gaze on Ron and Harry.

McGonagall: "As for you gentlemen, I hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many students manage to defeat a mountain troll and live to tell the tale... 5 points... as a reward for each of you, for the luck you had."

Snape: "You said, Miss Granger, that Mr. Enoch was also here and came to help you?" Snape's slow, cold voice was heard interrupting the moment.

The words of Snape, who had remained silent until now and had only shared a look with Harry, made everyone realize that, in fact, in the bathroom, apart from the 3 professors and the troll, only Hermione, Harry and Ron were there.

Hermione quickly turned her head to look to her side and sure enough, Extimum wasn't there. Harry and Ron were also surprised, when they examined the troll, Extimum was clearly next to them.

Seeing the silence and not getting his response, Snape reiterated.

Snape: "Well?"

They all had different thoughts running through their minds and as they thought of what to say, McGonagall answered for them.

McGonagall: "Clearly, Miss Granger must have been confused, after all, we came through the only door and there is no way he could have left without us seeing him."

Snape was unconvinced, but he had nothing to say to McGonagall's words, so he just waved his wand a few times around the room and chanted silently but it didn't seem to get anything, so he retreated with her.

Quirrell only stayed to try to say a few words.

Quirrell: "y-you better get out, the troll could-might wake up, hehe." Quirrell just said with a nervous laugh as he looked at the troll.

Harry, Ron and Hermione just ignored him and left the bathroom.

Naturally, Extimum sensed some people approaching and quickly covered himself with his illusion magic and then quickly and carefully sneaked past them out of the bathroom and waited for them to come out.

He wouldn't stay inside when he was likely to be discovered and would also end up implicating his house.

.

Walking through the hallways after leaving the bathroom, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked together.

Harry: "Extimum disappeared?"

Ron: "I don't know, he was clearly with Hermione before."

Harry: "Anyway, thanks for getting us out of that mess Hermione."

Ron: "Don't forget we saved her life."

Harry: "Don't forget that we wouldn't have to go save her life if you hadn't insulted her." Harry responded a little annoyed by his friend's excessive comment.

Ron: "That's what friends are for."

Hermione smiled a little at Ron's statement and together they walked towards the common room.

On the way Hermione was still thinking about everything that had happened and how in the end Extimum simply disappeared.

Even ignoring that and now with things more settled and calm, Harry, Ron and Hermione were surprised by the development of the situation. It was especially so when they remembered the scene of Extimum wielding the club to hit the troll.

It was necessary to know that the club was almost as long as themselves and was also quite thick reaching the tip, with all that, there was nothing to say about its weight.

However, by the time they were walking towards the common room, although none of the three of them mentioned it, they came up with their own logical explanations to understand that fact.

Like it could be the sum of a group of coincidences that nullified the entire weight of the club while Extimum directed its trajectory towards his head or that Extimum had used the same other levitation spell to direct it, etc.

Of course, they completely forgot, that Extimum had been able to jump past the head of a more than 3m troll in just two jumps.

After entering the common room, where some of the students who had not gone to sleep were, the three sat on a large sofa to rest a little from the heated moment.

Ron: "I don't think I want any more adventures like that in the next few days."

Harry: "yes, and say it."

Extimum: "In fact, that was quite a dangerous and exhausting situation."

Harry: "Woaahh!!".

Ron: "Ahhh!!"

Hermione: "Kyaah."

Everyone gave a little shout and jumped a little due to the surprise appearance of Extimum's voice next to them.

Turning their heads immediately, they saw Extimum sitting next to Hermione. Their shouts attracted a few glances from some Gryffindor students, but after giving them a few strange looks, they paid them no further attention, as if they didn't seem to notice anything strange.

Extimum: "Shhhh! Why are you making so much noise? You'll get everyone's attention."

Ron: "w-when did you appear? Are you a ghost?" Ron asked scared, completely ignoring that he saw ghosts every day in the castle.

Harry just sighed a little to relax and looked at Extimum, as for Hermione she was just watching him carefully while also calming herself down.

Extimum: "mm, maybe it is? Sometimes I seem to discover a part of myself that I didn't know myself before." As he said his words, Extimum couldn't help but think of when he had touched the ghost on his first day at Hogwarts.

Her response slightly alarmed Ron who was about to run away.

Harry: "Calm down Ron, he's just playing with you." Little did Harry know that Extimum meant his words very seriously.

Hermione: "So, how did you do it, I mean, disappear in front of the teachers, wait, how did you even get in here?"

Hearing the last part of his words, Harry and Ron were also surprised.

Ron was close to trying to run again if his answer didn't satisfy him, his emotions were agitated since the previous event and his sudden scare, added to the mysterious way in which Extimum appeared and disappeared, made his mind go crazy again, thinking about different scenarios.

Extimum: "Hmm, how I disappeared... it's... a secret, although maybe I'll tell you in the future, or you could just try it yourself, after all, it's magic!!! As for how I got in here, I simply followed you and slipped in along with you."

(I couldn't help but imagine SpongeBob when I wrote this, It's magic.jpg)

Extimum: "Oh right, get this, since you were in the bathroom the whole time, you probably couldn't eat anything." Extimum took out one of the portions he had in his bag and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione: "Thank you."

Extimum: "Okay, that's all for today, *sigh*, I'm tired too, so I'll go." Extimum stood up and stretched a little and then simply walked out of the common room.

Ron: "Huh... I thought it would disappear again."

Harry didn't say anything, but he also expected the same as Ron.

Harry: "I'll go to sleep now too, see you Hermione." Harry said and got up from the couch and left.

Ron: "Hey, wait for me Harry. And goodbye to you too Hermione." Ron said and also went after Harry and when he was a little far away he also said goodbye to Hermione.

Hermione just stood watching them leave and then proceeded to unwrap her food.

When she opened the food, she realized that it was hot and the smell made her salivate a little. Although the Extimum bag didn't have a stasis charm on it, he made sure to heat it with a spell before handing it to Hermione.

Hermione spent some more time in the common room enjoying her food and thinking about the detail of Extimum and everything she experienced with him in the bathroom before also going to sleep.
