I’m Harry Potter - Chapter 34

The next morning, everyone found out that Ron’s group got detention and lost there house 15 points. Ron and his friends started spreading the word about Draco not showing up for a duel. Of course, Gryffindor was angry because it wasn’t honorable, but most in Slytherin will only see it as cunning. Draco caused a loss of points to there enemy house, and the majority will think like that. After the rumors spread throughout the school, tensions between the two houses were growing stronger than ever.

Almost to the point where fights were starting in the halls between classes. McGonagall gave detentions and point reductions left and right until the tension simmered down. Let’s just say that Ravenclaw is a sure winner for the house cup, and the school year only just started. Well, it makes sense since Ravenclaw has Hermione and I, but Slytherin and Gryffindor made it a lot easier for us to win the cup.

(Time skip Halloween)

After almost two months at Hogwarts, it came time for the first big part of the Harry Potter story. Tonight Quirrell will try and steal the stone, and set a troll free in the school as a diversion. Originally Hermione would get cornered by the troll in the girl’s bathroom, but since I’ve changed so much I doubt that would happen. Hermione has changed a lot compared to her canon counterpart. She follows me around like a puppy, and listens to everything I say as if my word is law.

I’ve been working hard to turn her admiration for me into subservience. I instruct her when she has problems with anything school related or otherwise, and try to help guide her in how to interact with people. In the beginning, Hermione was a friendless know-it-all that got on everyone’s nerves. Raising her hand constantly in class to the point that it even annoyed the teachers. Instructing fellow students in their studies, but doing it in a snooty I’m better than you manner. Thanks to my interference, that was snuffed out very quickly. My minions need to have good standing with their peers, unless they’re like my elves that do their work in the shadows.

As for the Patil twins, we are just good friends. I’m not going to target them to be my minions like I am with Hermione. They’ve gotten used to being apart by now, but it’s not like they’re apart for long. Padma and Parvati share a good amount of classes together, and eat with each other every day. The only real time that they’re separated is the few classes they don’t share, and when curfew starts they have to split and go to there dorms.

Other than Hermione and the Patil twins, I don’t really hang out with anyone else regularly. Although, I am making connections with every student that I can for my future plans. All of these students are potential minions, Wizengamot members, and voters, so the better our relationsh.i.p.s the easier my plans will unfold later. Also, I don’t really want to go through the same shunning that canon Harry has to deal with. His relationship had to be horrible with the students outside of his clique for them to turn on him so easily.

When Halloween finally came along, Hogwarts held a feast in the great hall. Due to it being a special occasion, we were obligated to sit at our house table. After eating my dinner, I excused myself from the table with the excuse of using the toilet, and made my way to the first-floor bathrooms.

POV Great Hall

After Harry left for the bathroom, Professor Quirrell runs into the Great Hall with a panicked look.

“TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!!” Quirrell screamed, and tried to catch his breath “Thought you ought to know.” He uttered as he collapsed passing out on the floor. The Great Hall is silent, and then everyone freaks, screaming and running.

“SILENCE!” Dumbledore yelled, and everyone stops. “Everyone, please do not panic. Now, all students will wait here in the Great Hall. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.” He said, and the teachers left the Hall. Noise filled the room again, and everyone looked worried.

“Everyone relax! Do any of you really think a single troll will cause trouble for Albus Dumbledore?” Hermione yelled, and most students calmed down. After all, Dumbledore is the strongest known wizard alive, so why would a troll be any problem for him. Parvati came over to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Padma.

“Where’s Harry?” Parvati asked, looking around the Hall.

“Yeah, but he doesn’t know about the troll!” Hermione said, looking worried.

“But the troll is in the Dungeon, so he should be fine, right?” Parvati said.

“I think he’ll be alright. The nearest bathroom is on the first floor, and not the Dungeon.” Padma said, with a worried look.

“The Dungeon is only one flight of stairs away from the first floor. We should sneak out of here to warn him just in case.” Hermione said, with a determined look on her face.

“Alright, but how do we leave without being seen? The prefects won’t just let us walk out of here.” Parvati asked, looking around the room at all the prefects.

“We need a diversion, so we can slip out the door unnoticed.” Padma said.

“Oh, I know what to do!” Hermione said, as she turned her gaze across the room towards the Slytherin table. “Do you see Draco standing over there?” She asked, and they nodded. “I’m going to make him fall over. When the fall draws everyone’s attention, I need you both to cast a Lumos where he stood, but it has to be as bright as possible.”

“Would that even work?” Parvati asked, looking skeptical.

“It’s the only thing I can think of right now.” Hermione said.

“Get your wands ready.” Hermione said, as she drew her wand and waited for the perfect moment. “Locomotor Mortis” she whispered, and Draco fell to the floor with a girly scream.

“Lumos” The twins whispered, as every student looked where the scream came from. Only to be blinded by a bright light similar to a flash grenade.

“Good, let’s go!” Hermione said, and the trio hurriedly left the Great Hall.

POV Harry

“Where is this damn troll?” I said, as I leaned against the wall opposite the girl’s bathroom. Soon enough stomping of heavy feet accompanied by the sound of something wooden being dragged along a stone floor could be heard down the hallway.

“Uhhgg!” The sound of grunting could be heard, as a humongous twelve feet tall troll came into sight. The ugly troll thunks towards me dragging its massive club behind. Trolls are dangerously violent, incredibly aggressive, and low in intelligence, so I’m not even going to try to reason with it. The troll seems to have noticed me, as its eyes were glued to me and its footsteps hastened. I simply waited until the troll raised its club, and used my telekinesis to make it whack itself in the head. *bang*

“Aahhhgggg!” The troll grunted loudly as it fell to the ground with a loud thud. *boom*

“Harry!” I heard. When I turned to look who was calling me, I saw Hermione, Padma, and Parvati looking between me and the troll with shocked faces.

“Hey, did you girls need to use the bathroom too?” I asked, nonchalantly.

“Magic” I said, with a smile.

“Don’t do that! You always say that when you don’t want to answer our questions!” Padma yelled.

“Yeah, you had us worried for nothing, and all we get is half-hearted answers!” Parvati yelled.

“Do you know how worried we were? We had to cause a distraction, so we could sneak out of the Great hall just to warn you about the troll!” Padma said.

“Ahem!” The sound of someone clearing their throat comes from behind us. Turning around we see McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell standing by the unconscious troll.

“Explain yourselves, all of you this instant!” McGonagall said, sternly.
