Chapter 40: Trolls III

Hermione and Ron helped Harry up, Hermione had red eyes and didn't say anything, Ron exhaled weakly, looking frightened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps around the corner.

Vio knew it was McGonagall teaching them, and she wanted to hide, but it seemed too late.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape appeared before them, with incredible anger and indescribable joy. Professor Quirrell, who followed behind them, couldn't help but bend down and moan as soon as he saw the fainted troll.

"What the hell are you guys up to?" Professor McGonagall's chest heaved uncontrollably, Vio had never seen her so angry, "lucky you weren't killed by it." Why are you here instead of being in the dorm?"

Professor Snape's grim gaze was fixed on VIO, and it looked as if he was going to expel her from Slytherin in the next second.

But Hermione looked up, "I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, they're looking for me. ”

"I thought I could deal with trolls, I think I knew them well, you know, the books have very detailed descriptions of trolls, and — if they hadn't found me, I'd probably be in the trolls' belly.

Well, Harry stuck his wand into the troll's nose, and Ron dizzled the troll out of the girls' bathroom, and most importantly, Vio caught the troll's attention with a fluorescent flash, and Malfoy took the opportunity to stun it with the troll's own stick. It all happened so quickly that they didn't have time to get help. ”

Professor Snape scanned them suspiciously, and Harry and Ron tried to pretend that it was the way it was, even though they knew that Hermione had lied a big lie for them.

The origin of the incident was actually that Ron and him were angry with Hermione, and then she stayed in the girls' bathroom and cried all afternoon, and when she was about to come out, she encountered the troll who was accidentally locked in the bathroom by Harry and Ron.

Vio turned her head away from Snape's gaze, she was distracted at the moment, and she certainly couldn't cope with his deception.

"Oh-if that'······" Professor McGonagall looked at them, her gaze becoming gentle, "Miss Granger, you silly girl, how can you think you can deal with a mountain range monster alone?"

"I'm going to deduct five points from Gryffindor for this, and I'm disappointed in you, Miss Granger. If you're not hurt in the slightest, you'd better head back to Gryffindor Castle, where the students are enjoying their Halloween dinner!"

Hermione nodded and left.

Professor McGonagall turned to Vio, Harry, and Ron.

"You, I would say, are really, very lucky. Even an adult wizard can't guarantee that you'll be able to get out of a game against trolls, and each of you earns five points for your respective house. I'll tell Dumbledore about it, and you can go. ”

"Wait, Minerva. Professor Snape spoke slowly, "I think Miss Granger just mentioned that Draco played a crucial role—"

"Oh, yes," Professor McGonagall blushed as she almost forgot to see Draco when she didn't see him, "Obviously, Mr. Malfoy deserves five points as well." ”

"I agree more," Professor Snape looked at Harry, a small smile on his lips. "Minerva. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded, and turned to leave. Harry and Ron seemed to want to leave, but Snape was firmly in Vio's way, and they had to stop and wait for her.

"Potter, Weasley, you can go. It's none of your business here. Professor Snape looked at them with disdain and said coldly.

Vio sighed, it seems that the professor will have a hard time this level.

She stole a glance at them, and Harry and Ron understood, glaring at Professor Snape before leaving.

"Follow me. Professor Snape was succinct and turned to leave, his black robe rolling in the thick of the night.

They seemed to have taken a secluded dark passage, and soon returned to the secluded basement of Slytherin.

At a corner not far from the hallway leading to the common room, Snape stood and tapped his wand against the wall, and the middle of the mossy stone wall immediately retreated to the side, revealing a doorway that was so dark that nothing could be seen.

"Get in. ”

Vio honestly walked in first.

Her dean then closed the door behind her, and for a moment, the lights in the room came on. Vio took a deep breath, stunned by what he saw.

Rows of tall shelves leading to the roof were lined with jars and jars, some of which had an ugly hairy clam soaked in a strange color solution, and all sorts of other plants.

The solution in these transparent containers refracts a variety of ghostly light, making the room even more mysterious.

"Put away your foolish look of the world, Santriel. ”

Snape was already sitting at his desk, staring coldly at VIO.

Vio felt a tingle in her head, and she thought of when she had raised her wand to attract trolls - no! Snape was forcing her to reminisce and take advantage of her memories!

She quickly turned her face away, no longer meeting Snape's gaze.

"Look at me, Santriel. Snape let out a low growl. "Why, the audacious Miss Santriel would not dare to accept the slightest gaze from her dean?"

"No, Professor, I can't. Vio said, stubbornly bowing his head.

"Very well, you mean you're a coward, right, Santriel. Snape changed his tone of mockery, "What is there about that Potter boy that is worth your pursuit, and what is it worth defending at the cost of the lives of your fellow college mates?"

"I didn't, Professor, Harry and I were friends—"

"And Draco Malfoy, who almost killed you, deserves to be penniless and abandoned in a corner?" Snape asked in a loud voice, "Have your eyes been pecked away by an owl and left only an empty shell?"

"Draco, he- I didn't see him, I thought he went first!I don't know......" Vio argued in vain, in fact, she wanted to know very much if Draco was hurt and how.

"You think—you think he's gone first! yes, yes, pure Slytherin, cunning, selfish, who weighs the pros and cons of everything and takes the best action in his own favor. Of course he's going to slip away the fastest, right?" Snape's voice was softer again, like a whisper, but full of chills.

Vio glared at Snape, she didn't understand why the professor was so angry all of a sudden, just because she ignored Draco? It was all too sudden, Harry was being picked up by the trolls, she hadn't thought that much at the time-

She heard her dean say again—

"Miss Santriel, tomorrow I'll go tell Dumbledore about your transfer to Gryffindor, and you'd better write to Mr. and Mrs. Santrill right away. ”

"Now, get out of my office. ”

Originally, she should be very happy to hear the news, but Vio's heart suddenly became a little hollow, and she instinctively refused: "No, professor, I don't want to, why is that?"

"I said, get out. The last of the blood on Snape's face vanished, and he remained expressionless, but his voice made Vio tremble.

Just as Vio was about to give up, the stonewall door slowly opened again.

A thin figure stood hesitantly at the door against the light, and said softly: "Excuse me, sir, can I come in?"
