"What are earth were you thinking of?" McGonagall demanded. Harry had never seen the stern Head of Gryffindor so angry, though it didn't compare to the rage that Luna was capable of. Then again, seeing as how Luna was a Knight of Ceipheed, making her the most powerful human alive, few mortals could compete with her at such times.
Harry noticed that Snape was giving him a piercing look. What's with him? He wondered. Harry had noticed that Snape seemed to have a particular dislike of all Gryffindor students, and showed blatant favoritism towards his Slytherins. While this was nothing new, what with the hatred the Zephilian Guild Master had for the Inverse family, it was still irritating.
"Professor McGonagall," Harry began, only to be cut off by Hermione.
"I'm sorry Professor, they were looking for me." She began softly.
Ron looked at Harry in horror of what was going to happen to them when McGonagall heard what they had said about Hermione (ignoring for the moment that Harry hadn't said anything.)
However, his horror turned to surprise when Hermione explained that she had gone to try and defeat the troll on her own, and the boys had simply been trying to bring her back to the dorm, and had to fight the troll to save her.
Ron and Harry couldn't believe it, Hermione was telling an out and out lie to a teacher!
McGonagall looked at the three sternly.
"Miss Granger, that was a very stupid thing to do. You could have been killed! That will be five points from Gryffindor." McGonagall then focused on the two boys. "As for you two, you will each recieve five points."
McGonagall then paused.
"Though, I would like you to know that usually, mountain trolls are much harder to defeat. Like many of the larger magical creatures, they have innate resistances to magic."
Harry shrugged.
"Back home Trolls are only good against townfolk. Against a trained wizard, or a good swordsman, they don't stand a chance." He said. "Though the ones here are a bit bigger."
McGonagall contemplated this fact for a moment, and then sent the three back to their dorms.
From that time on, the trio became inseperable.
