Minor point: It doesn’t occur to anyone that Hermione might not be the only student who’s missing?
Unless there is a second troll, it doesn’t seem important.
EDIT: Or the student could be involved with the instigator of the whole conundrum (either as a victim or as a not necessarily willing helper)...

Unimportant to who? It might not be important to the main story, but someone might notice that their friend or relative isn’t in the protected area.
I just meant that neglecting additional missing people will likely not put them or anyone else in any danger.
If you don’t know where people are, and you don’t know where the troll is, then the people are at risk.
The troll is no more. Assuming there is no second troll or any other shenanigans going on, there is no danger anymore. I’m writing this from the point of view of a reader, not any of the characters.
