Chapter 43: Is This a Genius (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Snape's sudden voice diverted everyone's attention.
It was only then that everyone realized that unlike their close attention to the lives of Link and Hermione, Snape was now half-crouching on the ground studying a piece of minced flesh that I don't know which part of the troll was.
"I think the priority now is not only to hold them accountable, but also to find out what is going on here. After all, theoretically, two little wizards alone would never be able to deal with trolls, and besides, they still caused such a terrifying scene. Are you right? Mr. Foley!"
Snape said with a blank face, but habitually accentuated the last pronunciation of Link's surname.
This made Link couldn't help but be stunned.
He sensed that Snape was moving towards a certain Malfoy.
But looking at the curious or suspicious eyes of everyone around him, Link finally took a deep breath and said:
"Professor Snape, the trolls were indeed defeated by my own hands, and Hermione can testify to this. And the reason why this is the way it is is because of a spell I created myself, the Human Explosion Charm. ”
"Your own spell, that's a surprise!" Snape scoffed, "and could you please explain to me how it works?"
"Of course, it's not right to say it's self-created. The Human Explosion Spell is actually an improvement on the basis of the Renewal Charm of the Human Body, and the principle is probably that I use the entire body of the troll as a container, and then cast the Renewal Charm on it. It's not easy to accomplish this, you need to have a complete view of the spell model of the Renewal Spell, for which I would like to thank Professor Sprout for the Hypersensory Charm, and then you need to ......"
As Link explained all the principles of the Human Explosion Curse little by little, the sarcastic smile on Snape's face slowly faded, Harry and Ron's mouths slowly widened, and even Headmaster Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
"Bang Bang! What a wonderful design!" Dumbledore complimented unceremoniously, "Link, you actually mastered the silent release of a spell in your second year, and invented a whole new spell with it! I have to say, you really surprised me! In you, I see the shadows of those talents of the past!"
With that, Dumbledore glanced at Snape, who looked away with disdain.
"You've won the prize, Headmaster Dumbledore. Rather than rejoicing at Dumbledore's compliment, Link said without humility or arrogance, "The Human Explosion Curse is not just my work, but also thanks to the help of Professor Sprout, Professor Flitsch, and Professor Snape. ”
"Don't be presumptuous, Link, we've got you covered. Dumbledore smiled and announced, "To reward you for your bravery in protecting your classmates, and for your outstanding performance in the spell." Hufflepuff plus 50 points!"
"50 points!?"
Harry couldn't help but exclaim, this was the highest bonus he had seen since coming to Hogwarts!
"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Link is still the same flat look, because, as he said before, extra points are useless for Hufflepuff!
But Harry didn't think so.
Looking at the light and breezy appearance at once, Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
Also with a similar expression to him was Hermione.
At this moment, she also opened her mouth wide and looked at Link in disbelief.
She had only understood a small part of Link's explanation of the principle of the Human Explosion Curse, and she had a feeling of confusion.
And then Dumbledore's high bonus points only added to this feeling!
'Is this the legendary genius?'
Hermione couldn't help but think, and the eyes that looked at Link were getting brighter and brighter.
"You deserve it. What do you think? Severus. ”
Dumbledore said with a smile, looking at the iron-faced Snape as he spoke.
"Hmph, even if you pass the test!" Snape said coldly, "and I'll tell your mother the truth about your stupid adventure!"
"This kind of boasting is indeed to inform Lady Foley, otherwise how could she know how good her son is!" Dumbledore clapped his hands, "so on! I won't bother you, Severus. I'll write to her in person in a moment!"
"Whatever you want!"
Snape coldly shook it down, then flicked his robe and quickly disappeared around the corner of the hallway.
This also made Link breathe a sigh of relief, and he said to Dumbledore with some gratitude:
"Thank you again, Headmaster Dumbledore!"
"These are minor issues. But I warn you, this spell you've invented is quite lethal, so please remember not to use it on your classmates!"
"Don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore, I never thought of such a thing!"
Link said in a rhetorical manner, and Dumbledore just glanced at him playfully and announced again:
"Alright, let's go back quickly, everyone is still waiting for us to continue the dinner!"
As Dumbledore shouted, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed to the Great Hall with Link and Hermione in their arms.
Having learned of the presence of trolls roaming around Hogwarts, Dumbledore did not end the dinner and ordered all the students to gather in the Great Hall.
As soon as everyone returned to the auditorium, they were greeted by all the students.
Led by their respective professors, Link and the others didn't stay long at the door of the auditorium, and returned to their seats one after another.
Hermione clearly wanted to say something to Link before she could say anything, but before she could speak, Professor McGonagall pulled her back.
"Alright, the alarm is over, let's go on with the dinner!"
Dumbledore returned to the podium and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Link couldn't wait to grab the roasted pumpkin in front of him and eat it.
As soon as the soft orange flesh of the melon entered his mouth, Link had an intoxicated look on his face.
It's a pity to see, after such a big round of tossing, he can finally enjoy this completely different delicacy from potato barbecue!
Unlike Link, who indulges in food, the rest of the auditorium's mind is not on the pumpkin.
They kept talking to each other, exchanging information about tonight's troll incident.
And when they learned from Harry Ron and Cedric that it was Link who single-handedly solved the trolls and successfully saved the beauty heroically, an exclamation of surprise rang out from the crowd from time to time.
The voices of the Hufflepuffs are even more prominent!
At the same time, people began to look at Link.
Link didn't know anything about it.
All the way up to ...... A plate of pumpkin-shaped pastry was handed to Link.
