Naya was looking at the list of troll information that the professor had created based on their answers. The smoke list was actually pretty cool. However, now it was time for the activity. They got to go inside the pensieve and view WWW’s memory. This was going to be interesting.

Naya lined up among her classmates, waited until it was her turn and then entered the pensieve. She didn’t particularly enjoy the falling sensation and was glad when she landed in a forest. Looking around, Naya noticed a very young looking Professor Williamson. Clearly this was a pretty old memory.

Naya reminded herself that she had to pay attention and look for what the professor may have done right or wrong during his encounter with trolls. She walked along with the professors past and present and the rest of the class. And oh, right off the bat he made a big mistake. He wasn’t really paying attention to his surroundings. Maybe constant vigilance wasn’t a thing back then. That was too bad because he walked right into a troll trap. The smell alone should have been enough of a warning. Naya was afraid that she was going to hurl from the horrible stench.

The Gryffindor was wondering just how fast trolls could move. They didn’t seem very fast to her, but they were so big that they could move pretty far just by taking troll sized steps. Sure they surprised Williamson, but could he have outmaneuvered them and gotten off of the bridge? Why didn’t he think to use his wand? He could have disapparated or stunned them or something.....anything. How could he just stand there and let himself get tied up. Then the professor offered them gold. Really? What good would that do? This was just all kinds of bad. Shaking her head, Naya continued to watch the scene unfold.

What could the professor do to get out of this mess? That was a good question. He was trapped, bound and being looked at as dinner for four. The longer this encounter went on, the fewer option the professor had. Naya thought and then she began to speak. “Ok. You clearly can’t move your arms, but can you move your hands? Is there any way you can get to your wand? If so, maybe you can disapparate. If not......well, you can still walk or run. You just have to find a way to distract or fool the remaining trolls, and quickly before the other two get back. Get them to focus on each other and not you, so you can get away.” Yeah, that was easier said than done and not very specific. Not good.
