Arabella Black - Book 1

Chapter 10

Arabella looked around when she heard the door slam open and her eyes widened when she saw Harry and Ron she watched as the troll continued to smash the stalls while she covered Hermione from the splintering wood.

''ARA, HERMIONE MOVE!''

''Help! Help!'' cried out Hermione in panic.

''I've tried distracting it, but its' not working, I can't do it on my own.'' Arabella explained while dodging another swing of the troll's club by now the troll was pink and had cuts in its skin from her stinging hexes.

Arabella tried to lead them towards the door when Ron picked up some wood. ''Hey, pea brain!'' he shouted as he threw some wood at the troll's head, he picked up another and kept throwing hoping to distract it and was lucky as one of them landed and cracked the troll on the head.

Arabella turned and saw that Hermione was blocked a little and afraid to go past it so she rushed towards the sinks to try take cover, but she knew that was a bad idea ''HERMIONE NO!'' she watched in horror as the troll lumbered over and smashed the first sink.

''Ahhh! Help!'' Hermione said again trying to move from the sinks.

Arabella closes her eyes, I am so dead, that's if the troll doesn't kill me first thought Arabella, but she just charged through the trolls legs by skidding and pulled Hermione away just as the club struck the sink, however she wasn't as lucky for a chunk of the china sink cracked her on the back of the head, sending her to the ground as she covered Hermione's body, bits of sink landed on her leg she was dizzy and touched her head and saw blood on her hand ''Oh this ain't' good.'' she muttered as she tried to move her leg from under the sink.

''ARABELLA! I'M SO SORRY!'' cried Hermione as she rushed to the girls side and tired to pull the sink from her leg, but she couldn't' move it she tried to move into the corner dragging Arabella with her.

''ARA NO!'' Harry cried out in shock and horror he narrowed his eyes and charged at the troll grabbing onto his club and was lifted up ''Whoooa! Whoa, Whoa!'' he said as he landed on the troll's head and was then hurled back and forth until he ended up sticking his wand up the troll's nose.

''Gross'' Ron said in disgust.

''Ron! Now's not the time.'' Harry began trying to hold on to an enraged troll, but he wasn't lucky the troll grabbed him by one leg and began to swing its club at him making him pull himself up and down to duck and avoid the club. ''Do something.'' Harry called out as he ducked a swipe.

''What?'' Ron asked, watching it swing for Harry again.

''Anything! Hurry up!'' said Harry as he again avoided the club.

Ron nodded and grabbed his wand he looked over and saw Hermione holding his bleeding and trapped friend and saw her wave her hand ''Swish and flick!''

Ron nodded and tried to remember what Hermione said when she corrected him in class earlier ''Wingardium Leviosa!'' he swished his wand and watched as the club floated out of the troll's hand to hover above its head. Arabella watched the troll look up, confused, just as the club came crashing back down right onto the troll's head, she heard Ron's mutter of cool before the troll began to waver and drop Harry, who then crawled away only for the troll to come crashing head down to the ground making the floor shake a little.

Hermione looked at them in shock ''Is it...dead?''

Harry shook his head ''I don't think so. Just knocked out.'' he pulled his wand out and grimaced ''Gross troll bogies.''

Arabella sighed in relief ''I wish the troll was dead the stupid shit has stopped me from activating my prank! also stopped me from getting food and let's not forget the killer headache I'm going to have.'' groused Arabella much to the shock of the three.
