Harry's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Ron, who seemed to be avoiding his gaze. Sensing there was more to the story, Harry decided to investigate further. He stood up and walked over to Fred and George, who were eagerly anticipating the effects of their prank.

"Thanks for the juice, boys. But I thought we had a silent agreement," Harry said, addressing the twins.

Fred met Harry's gaze with a hint of defiance. "What deal, Potter?" he asked, his tone playful yet challenging.

Harry's smile didn't waver. "Standing out of each other's ways," he replied, maintaining his calm demeanor.

George smirked, feigning ignorance. "We don't know what you're talking about, Potter."

Nodding, Harry left them to their machinations. The twins, believing they had won this round, snickered and waited with bated breath for their prank to unfold.

Harry then made his way to the Ravenclaw table, where Padma Patil was seated among her housemates. "Hello, Ms. Patil. I have a question if you don't mind me interrupting," Harry said politely, capturing Padma's attention.

Padma looked up, her expression one of mild surprise. "Of course, Potter. What can I help you with?"

"I heard about an incident in Charms class today involving Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley. Do you know anything about it?" Harry inquired, his tone earnest.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Padma nodded, her expression turning serious. "Yes, from what I heard there was a bit of a commotion. Mr. Weasley made a thoughtless comment about Ms. Granger's eagerness to answer questions. It upset her, and she left the class in tears."

Harry's frown deepened. "I see. And you heard she's in the first-floor bathroom?"

"Yes, that's what I heard," Padma confirmed.

Thanking Padma for the information, Harry made his way back to the Slytherin table, where he resumed his seat. Pansy Parkinson, eyeing him with a mix of curiosity and displeasure, asked, "Done mingling with the enemy, Potter?"

Harry, with a hint of amusement in his voice, replied, "For your information, Ms. Parkinson, I was gathering intelligence for a bit of... retaliation."

Snape nodded and said, "I expect you to be as uninvolved when it involves our house in the future as well." Harry grinned, "I shall do so, sir." As Snape left, the doors of the Great Hall burst open, and Professor Quirrell came sprinting in, his turban askew and a look of sheer terror on his face. The entire hall fell silent as he reached Professor Dumbledore’s chair, slumped against the table, and gasped, "Troll – in the dungeons – thought you ought to know." He then collapsed in a dead faint.

Chaos erupted in the hall. It took several loud, purple firecrackers from Professor Dumbledore’s wand to restore silence. "Prefects," he commanded in a deep voice, "lead your houses back to the dormitories immediately!"

As the students began to stir, Harry's thoughts immediately turned to Hermione. She didn't know about the troll, still distraught in the girls' bathroom. Making a quick decision, he slipped away from the crowd, retrieving two items from his inventory: an Invisibility Ring and an Enchanted Mirror for Distant Viewing. Whispering "Hermione Granger" to the mirror, he added under his breath, "I hope you are not in an inappropriate position, Ms. Granger."

The mirror's surface shimmered, revealing Hermione sitting on a toilet seat in the girls' bathroom, her eyes red from crying. Harry sighed in relief at her clothed form and quickly made his way toward her location.

As he navigated the corridors, invisible to the naked eye, Nigel's voice echoed in his mind. "Off to play the knight in shining armor, are we? Do remember, Master Harry, trolls are notoriously foul-tempered and not particularly fond of invisibility tricks."

Harry quickened his pace as he saw the troll lumbering through the corridors in the mirror's reflection. "Well, Nigel, I always wanted a pet. This one's a bit larger and uglier than what I had in mind, though," he quipped under his breath.

The image in the mirror showed the troll nearing the girls' bathroom, and Harry's heart raced with urgency. He was aware of the danger but determined to save Hermione from the monstrous creature. As he approached the bathroom, he removed the Invisibility Ring and sent both the ring and the mirror back to his inventory, drawing his wand.

Stepping into the bathroom, Harry's eyes immediately locked onto the troll, which was swinging its club in a mindless rage. Spotting Hermione crouched under the sinks, he shouted, "Look over here, you giant oaf!"

Hermione's head snapped up at the sound of his voice. "Harry!" she cried out, recognition clear in her tone. She quickly dodged under the sinks, narrowly avoiding the troll's club as it smashed into the porcelain.

The troll, now aware of Harry's presence, turned its attention towards him. Harry, wand at the ready, kept his eyes on the creature, trying to think of a plan. "Nigel, any bright ideas? Preferably ones that don't involve getting squashed by a troll," he said, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

"Ah, Master Harry, I see your charm with the ladies extends to trolls as well." Nigel responded dryly.
