7 Death?!?

After that hectic night and their encounter with fluffy, school life calmed down a lot, that was until Halloween came around.

In the morning before breakfast Eric decided to read up a bit on mountain trolls, in readiness for the upcoming fight.

"Everything's coming together nicely" Eric said to himself.

In their charms lesson it was the time for the flying charm.

"Now don't forget the hand movement we've been practicing, swish and flick and don't forget pronunciation."

They were put into partners for this, Harry and Eric were in a pair and Hermione was with Ron, which was a nightmare to watch because Hermione was good at magic but Ron wasn't, but he also didn't seem to want help either, because whenever Hermione told him what he was doing wrong and how to improve it he would do absolutely none of the things Hermione had just said for him to do and then complain and say it was her fault.

"You're saying it wrong it's wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa, make the gar longer" Hermione pleaded.

"Oh if you're so smart then you do it then" Ron barked back.

"Wingardium Leviosa" Hermione said in a calm and clear voice, and then the feather lifted off the desk.

After class Ron was in a mood.

"It's no wonder no one can stand her, she's an absolute nightmare." Right after that comment Hermione rushed past clearly crying.

Seeing this Eric went over to Ron and with the most strength he could use without leaving Ron with permanent, brain damage he punched him straight in the jaw that made a loud crack sound out in the corridor.

"Maybe next time, keep your fucking mouth shut you ginger prick."

Then he and Harry left the broken faced ginger stuck in the wall with blood flowing down his face.

"Where do you think she would go?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, but it's Hermione I doubt she would miss a lesson right?"

"Yeah your right."

And so they went to their next lesson, but she wasn't there, so they went to their next lesson after that but she wasn't there either, in the end they ended up asking around if anyone had seen where she went, and thankfully someone had and they said that she was crying in the girls toilets asking not to be disturbed, so they decided to go console her after they had something to eat, and so they could also get her something to eat as well she was definitely going to be hungry.

But before they could eat anything Quirrell ran in.

"Troll…..in the dungeon…..though you ought to know"

There was a mass panic teachers telling the prefects to take the children back to their common room's, but all Harry and Eric could think about was, Hermione, she didn't know, and so was in danger, they both looked at each other then nodded both knowing the other was thinking the same thing.

They knew where she was, she was in the girls toilets, but the problem was that neither of them knew where the girls toilets were, they knew where the boys toilets were but not the girls one, so they rushed to the boys toilets and spilt up one going one way and one going the other.

Arriving near the girls toilets Eric suddenly heard a girl scream, Hermione's scream.

Running as fast as his legs could take him he arrived in their as fast as possible and saw the scene of a huge ugly looking bald creature with greyish ruff skin plastered on its grotesque body, and in the corner sat shaking was a dishevelled looking figure of Hermione with red puffy eyes from crying, absolutely petrified.

"Hermione!" Eric scream at the top of his lungs, Hermione looked up with a shocked look on her face to see Eric here, unfortunately his scream attracted the trolls attention making it face him, then it lifted its club down towards Eric while rushing at him.

*Crash* the club crashes into the tiles where Eric had stood before, Eric had in the split second before the club hit him dodged it just barely, which didn't make sense to Eric as the troll from the original story wouldn't have been able to do that which meant that this troll was different from a normal mountain troll, and it was it was in fact a king class mountain troll much faster and stronger than your average mountain troll.

This put Eric on edge because if this was a king class he would have to go all out, so he did, Eric rushed towards the trolls dodging all the swings passing just past his body, they were equal in turns of strength, and Eric new that magic would be redundant to use against a troll with such high magic resistance, this stand off continued with them both taking shots at each other but neither of them ever hitting, this is were Eric had a thought 'as long as I get that arm of his busted I should win, it's risky but necessary' so he jumped back out of the trolls hit range and got ready, after a second of contemplation he went in, dodging left, sliding right and then finally jumping in the air to perform a killer axe kick to his right shoulder, it landed and Eric felt as the trolls bones crunched and crackled under his foot, but at the same time the trolls left fist smashed into his right side obliterating his ribs and pulverising some organs as well, he smashed into the wall creating a blood splatter like a piece of art across the wall and slid down it his head felt like it was going through a blender with the amount of pain coursing through his pain receptors, but he had to keep it together, if not then he wouldn't be the only one to die but Hermione as well, he would not have that.

Standing up, trying his best to ignore the pain coming from ever part of his body, he ran over to the troll feeling as his broken bones rubbed against each other further intensifying the pain, but he gritted his teeth and kept going, with the trolls right arm disabled he now had a chance to beat it, picking up a piece of shattered glass off the floor he rushed fast, faster than he had ever ran before and jumped into the air soaring straight at the trolls face and plunged the glass through its eye straight into its brain, killing it, but unfortunately the troll wasn't going to leave this world on it own, because as the glass penetrated his brain his hand swung out slamming Eric against the wall leaving a crater where Eric's bloodied lifeless body lay, the last thing he heard was the patter of foot steps from the teachers and Hermione screaming his name.

So loud and then.

So quiet.

Eric was extremely confused, he had no idea what had happened, but then he came to a realisation, 'this must be what Amura meant by surprise huh, nice.'

Then suddenly his brain did a quick summersault and voices could be heard around him, and as he lifted his blood covered eyes, the lights illuminated the picture that had been painted in front of him.
