A storm was raging outside, hundreds of jack-o-lanters lit up the hall, and various and sundry sweets and pastries adorned the long tables. Ron and Harry were wondering where Hermoine was instead of enjoying the traditional Hogwarts Haloween festivities. Suddenly, the huge doors to the Dining Hall slammed open and Professor Quirrel, pale, shaken and breathing heavily as if from running very fast, came shambling into the room.
He stopped midway to the high table and shouted "TROLL!! Troll... in the dungeon... Thought... you might want to... know."

Most got up as if to run about in a panic. All but Harry Potter-Inverse, who was about the only student there who was not panicking. He put a hand on Ron's shoulder and said "Now,s not the time to be panicking. Hermoine probably is down in the dungeon, and doesn't know about the troll. We're the only ones who know about the troll and its up to us to save her." Ron's face was still pasty white but nodded once in agreement.

The students at once were quiet as Dumbledore continued in a lower tone of voice "All students are to return to their common rooms with their prefects. The teachers will accompany me to the dungeon."
