2. Our muses are both cornered by a troll.
"-in the dungeon! It's in the dungeon!"
Shouts from the top of the stairs trickle down into the corridor and bounce off the walls, echoing loud. He's only partially intrigued as he looks up - what are they talking about? Seems fine down here.
"Get out of the dungeons!"
The dungeons, however, are nearly empty, save for himself and three other Slytherin students, all scattered about the corridor. Everyone else is in a class or out - a rare occurrence nowadays. Two of them take off immediately, sprinting up the stairs to see what all the fuss is about. He looks over to the remaining student and raises an eyebrow. The other boy doesn't seem too concerned, so he sees no reason to be, either.
The yelling from above continues until, suddenly, everything is thrown into chaos.
There's a huge explosion of stone and mortar as a troll comes barreling through the other side of the far wall, groaning loud and waving its club from side to side. He's hit in the shoulder by a renegade chunk of rock and knocked onto his ass. It hurts like hell but he's more concerned about the murderous look in the creature's eyes.
"Holy shit!" is the only thing he's able get out before he begins to scramble backward, towards the common room - and subsequently towards the other kid.
