Chapter 20: Calm
At first, Darren didn't realize what Hermione meant, but after a while, he realized that Hermione was referring to herself, and he didn't expect that he was more eye-catching than a troll in Hermione's eyes, because if it was a troll, Hermione should have used "it".

Sure enough, Hermione was much more reliable than the bears, and Darren was pleased to see that she was followed by Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Professor Quirrell, and, Filch?
At this time, even Snape and Filch seemed to Darren to be so amiable and imposing......
In any case, Hermione had almost all the best professors at Hogwarts except Dumbledore, and in front of them, the troll was like a small child, easily knocked unconscious by a few spells and fell to the ground.
Solving the threat of the trolls, everyone stepped forward, looking at the women's bathroom door that had been smashed by the trolls, and the armor parts all over the ground, the professors all turned to look at Darren, who was the only one on the scene.
Darren looked at Professor McGonagall with a strange look on her face, an angry expression, the muscles of her face stiffened and stiff from the exertion, and suddenly, the memories of the orphanage came back to him, and he couldn't help but take a step back and lean his back against the wall of the hallway.
"What the hell are you up to?" Professor McGonagall said, with a cold anger in her voice, "You're lucky not to have been killed by it, why don't you stay in your dorm after hearing the professor's orders?"
Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Darren glanced at Hermione, saw her nervous look, and somehow suddenly a surge of courage surged in his heart, made him raise his head, and said to Professor McGonagall, "If you think that I was a little late for dinner with Hermione, and it turned out that it was a ghost trick to meet a troll on the way to the cafeteria, then I admit that it was a ghost trick, and I don't know what the professor's order is." ”
Hearing Darren's words, Professor McGonagall grew her mouth in surprise, Snape stared at Darren with his gloomy eyes, Professor Quirrell was already slumped on the ground, only Filch walked up and shouted at Darren, "How dare you talk to a professor like that, boy, no one teaches you manners?"
Then Hermione whispered next to her, "Here's the thing, like Darren said, we were going to dinner, but we saw the troll walk into the women's restroom in the hallway, Darren was worried that someone wouldn't know about getting hurt, and told me to go to the professor, who was here to watch the troll, and then, I'm going to look for you." ”
After Hermione finished speaking, Snape walked between the door of the women's bathroom and the troll, carefully examining the armor parts on the ground and the fragments of the toilet door, especially the tightly pressed legs of the armor, then bent down to pick up the door lock, looked at it carefully, and twisted it twice, then turned his head to glance at Darren out of the corner of his eye, "This door was locked by the trolls themselves?"
Darren hesitated, pretending to be equally confused, "I don't know," he added, "Maybe it was when the troll's stick smashed the gate." ”
At this point, Darren seemed to see the corners of Snape's mouth move upwards and tossed the lock in his hand to the ground, "I'm afraid Miss Grant is right, they're just unlucky," and then continued, "But I think Mr. Darren's etiquette needs to be strengthened, what do you think?" ”
After Snape's words were finished, there was silence, Darren was a little strange, looked up at Professor McGonagall, and found that the lines on her face were much softer, and her lips were no longer shaking, suddenly, he realized that he had misunderstood Professor McGonagall just now, or rather, he and Professor McGonagall had misunderstood each other, Professor McGonagall obviously regarded Darren as some other bear child who did not know the height of the sky, thinking that he deliberately disobeyed the order to take risks, so he treated him so angrily, no way, who made Gryffindor famous for having many bear children.
But in fact, this is not Professor McGonagall's show of concern for the new students, looking at Professor McGonagall, Darren is a little ashamed, muttering in a low voice, but the words of apology are not spoken.
Professor McGonagall almost had a smile on her face when she looked at Darren, and of course, it could have been Darren's hallucination, "Well, I'm still going to say you're lucky, not many first-year students can clash with an adult troll and be unharmed." However, for your composure and bravery in the face of the trolls, you earned Gryffindor five points. ”
"Also, for you to get the lady out of the dangerous situation first, and then add five points to Gryffindor, and I'll inform Professor Dumbledore about this. If you're not hurt at all, it's best to head back to Gryffindor Castle, where the students are enjoying their Halloween dinner at their house. You can go. Professor McGonagall finally said calmly.
Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Darren and Hermione lowered their heads and hurriedly turned their heads away, and when they turned the corner, Darren stuck out his tongue at Hermione and sped away, while Hermione chased after her fiercely......
Back in the Gryffindor common room, seeing that everyone else was eating, Darren felt hungry, picked up two plates, handed one to Hermione, and rushed to the food, especially the lamb, and cumin in his pocket.
In the evening, after everyone else had left, Darren pulled Hermione to Harry and Ron, and after meeting, "Thank you," Darren said first.
Apparently Hemin was confused by Darren's words, while Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed, and Darren explained to Hermione, "After you left, they also came to the hallway and locked the trolls in the women's bathroom, and the lock that Snape asked was the one they locked. ”
Seeing that Hermione still didn't understand, Darren continued, "I think when we ate in the cafeteria tonight, we were the only new Gryffindor students who weren't in the cafeteria. ”
Hearing this, Hermione opened her mouth wide and looked at Harry and Ron, as if she didn't know if she should criticize them for disobeying the professors' orders as usual, and finally covered her mouth and whispered, "Thank you......"
Harry and Ron were also very embarrassed, telling that after they were chased by the trolls, they only wanted to escape as soon as possible, and when they calmed down and returned to the scene, they were told that the trolls had been dealt with by the professors.
Before going back to bed, Harlan suddenly asked Harry and Ron, "Did you go to see Snape this afternoon?"
"I've been, Snape asked me to sort out the potions materials for him, and stayed in the hall for the first two days. Harry replied, "What's the problem?"
"No, no. Darren said, and there was silence and peace in the bedroom.
