(︶) The troll was huge, yet she could hold it in one hand!
Very soon!
Before the troll Professor Quirrell had "discovered" could rampage through Hogwarts Castle and wreak havoc, it was found by Dumbledore and the other professors, who had hurried over after hearing the news.
And at the same time!
Naturally, they also found a certain troublesome first-year girl!
"Annie!"
"How dare you..."
"Hmm?"
Professor McGonagall had just started to check whether Annie was hurt when she unexpectedly noticed a tiny person dangling from her hand.
"What is that...?"
"A troll?"
Then, after taking a closer look in the dim light, she realized that it was indeed a troll.
It seemed to be a shrunken troll, and there was no doubt that Annie had something to do with how it had been shrunk.
"Yeah!"

"It came out and interrupted my dinner, so I got mad and came to find it."

"Then it tried to fight back, so I used Transfiguration to make it smaller."
○(^皿^)っHiahiahia...
As she spoke, Annie proudly swung it around by the foot, then turned toward Professor Quirrell in the crowd and gave him a defiant, taunting look.
"..."
He said nothing and showed little emotion, only cowering behind Dumbledore and the others.
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Snape, and the others paid no attention to Quirrell. They merely exchanged stunned glances, clearly unable to believe Annie's Transfiguration could reach such a level.
Everyone knew that Transfiguration could turn an object into a living thing, or a living thing into an object. Professor McGonagall, for example, could turn herself into a cat or a table into a pig. But shrinking a troll—a Magical Creature of such immense size and with a certain resistance to magic—required considerable skill in Transfiguration and magical power.
