IMPORTANT: in case you haven't heard last night at dinner, we had a mountain troll arrive at the school. We don't know how it ended up here, BUT there have been mountain trolls in the school in the past, so it's not unreasonable that it's from the past.

He's currently trapped in a very large area in the Forbidden Forest until we can find a home for him. All the teams going into the Forest, please be careful.

This is the first case of something that doesn't like that has arrived. We have no way to know that it's the last. From now on, try to be extra careful. If you live in a remote area with no one around, consider moving near other people. Not everything is as easy to trap as a troll. Also for those of us who aren't used to being ready to hex, if you want classes, we can arrange them.

	Thankfully nobody was hurt. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Exactly and a lot of us know how to defend ourselves, but not everyone can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's true and anyone could be caught off guard. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Possibly a friend of yours? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-07 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Nope, my friend was hired by Dumbledore to protect the Fat Lady from Sirius. This one might be a friend of Quirrell. Or anyone else. I'm guessing it wasn't the first time that there was a mountain troll at Hogwarts nor the last. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can I hire this one to protect me from Sirius? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 12:26 am UTC (link)
	I don't think this has been trained. He might eat Sirius, and I'm not sure we want that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_cervus_ 2021-06-08 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Depends how early it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	Glad to know where you draw the line for murder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We all have our limits. Mine just happens to be 6.30am. Anyway, care to grace your dear old Mum and Dad with your presence one day this week? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	I must have been a wonderful newborn then! Sure, any day will be fine for me. I'll just let Draco know that we're not eating together, that's the extent of my social life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_cervus_ 2021-06-08 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Pass. I was too tired to remember. You crazy kids. How about Wednesday? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	You should have made that comment private. If Sirius sees it, he might start waking you up throughout the night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not if he likes his socks un-jinxed, he won't. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-08 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Here out of context, that is rather funny. Fine. An acquaintance. I'll have someone look into any instances of trolls appearing in the school and on grounds. I'll send a house elf with whatever pertinent info can be found about your friend. Oops. Acquaintance (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Or it could be a completely different troll. I mean we had two in the first three years of school. I doubt we were the only ones to have strange things happen all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-08 04:02 am UTC (link)
	It could be. Our school years were atypical, Potter. Certainly not reflective of the average. So yes it could be, but I doubt it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-08 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	I don't pretend to know what the school was like in the year 1043. I'm guessing things were a lot wilder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-10 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	That's probably for the best, since you have an unnaturally large aversion to reading. Yes, I'd imagine so. Wilder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-10 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	I bet even you book types can't tell me how many trolls were around Hogwarts in the thirteenth century, so guess who has the last laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-10 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	I cant. Maybe, Granger. She seems terribly fond of Hogwarts: A History. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-10 03:57 pm UTC (link)
	Even Hermione doesn't know that. She's most upset about it. Proving that books aren't that useful when dealing with things that want to kill you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-10 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	I suspect she wont wait long to correct that and the answer will be forthcoming. I dont know Potter, some tomes are rather large, you could bludgeon someone if need be. They are useful though, for the how. And later the why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-10 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	I don't disagree that you can use books for weapons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-10 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Then I suppose we had best mark this day in the calender. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-06-10 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say first sign of the apocalypse, but we have one of those every other day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-06-10 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Very true. Looks like we are on a roll today. Best to stop now so as to not jinx it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
