On the staircase from the seventh floor to the eighth floor, Professor McGonagall and her party met Headmaster Dumbledore, dressed in a gown, who had just walked up from the dungeon.

"Minerva, what are you and the students going to do? aren't you looking for the troll that escaped?"

"Albus, the troll is dead, and the students behind me did it, and I think they need to explain it to you. ”

"Oh, thank you, please leave the rest to me. ”

After Professor McGonagall left, Professor Dumbledore and four students pushed open the door to an empty room on the seventh floor and waved his wand.

A table and five chairs appeared in the room, and five cups of steaming black tea were placed on the table.

"Alright, sit down. Professor Dumbledore said as he got into the upper hand position, then looked at the four students.

"Relax with some tea and be chased by trolls is not a pleasant thing. ”

After seeing that all four of them had calmed down, Dumbledore began to ask how it had happened.

Hermione stood up and said that she was in a bad mood because of the pressure of studying, and found a place to cry alone, and later Ryan comforted her and accompanied her for an afternoon of self-study.

So they didn't make it to the Halloween dinner, and they didn't know that the trolls had run out. As they prepare to go upstairs, they meet Harry and Ron to inform them, but unfortunately they encounter a troll on their way to the auditorium.

Hermione went on to describe how the four of them fought the trolls and eventually killed them by accident.

After that, the three boys also made some additions. After the four had finished the story, Dumbledore praised the four of them for their intelligence, courage, and camaraderie, and added five points to each of them.

"I guess you're still hungry. Dumbledore said after adding points, "If you're not hurt, you'd better go back to Gryffindor Tower." The students all enjoyed a Halloween dinner at their own college. ”

The four of them bowed and said goodbye to the Headmaster and left the room, and Dumbledore picked up his black tea and took a sip with a relieved smile.

......

After climbing one floor, the four of them came to the portrait of the fat lady.

"Pig nose. After they had the order, they went in.

The common room was crowded with people and noisy. Everyone was eating the food that was brought in. When Harry and Ron finished taking their food, they saw that Ryan and Hermione were already sitting at a table waiting for them.

For a while, the four of them were very embarrassed. None of them looked at anyone, just said "thank you" at the same time, and hurried to their plates.

But Ryan and Hermione could see that each other's emotions were very good - Harry and Ron were able to go to them without risking their own safety when they knew there were trolls. In addition to courage, friendship can be manifested. For Hermione in particular, it had allowed her to make two more friends, and she felt like she wasn't the one alone.

Seriously, Ryan originally planned to just mix up some offset points, and didn't plan to connect with the protagonist so deeply. But people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Killing a 12-foot-tall troll together is a matter of risking his life, and this kind of friendship is also very precious to Ryan, so he already considers Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to be his friends.

......

As we enter November, the weather becomes very cold. The mountains surrounding the school were gray and covered with snow and ice, and the lake was as cold and hard as hardened steel. Every morning, there is frost on the ground.

From the upstairs window, Hagrid can be seen wrapped in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, defrosting his broomsticks on the Quidditch pitch.

Quidditch season has begun. After weeks of training, Harry will be playing his first match of his life on Saturday, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. If Gryffindor wins, they will move up to second place in the House Cup.

By the way, the current ranking of each college is like this: the first place is Ravenclaw (the top students are really unstoppable when they are studying.) Second place is Slytherin (you need to consider that if you come from a wizarding family, the young wizards obviously have a much better foundation.) Third place went to Hufflepuff (the badgers are honest people, but they don't cause trouble, and the advantage of being outnumbered, so that although each of them has a small plus, the total score has gone up.) Finally, there is Gryffindor (no way, the most skinny students are here, there are more points and more deductions.) If you deduct points per person, Gryffindor ranks first. ）

But the good news is that the four houses are very tightly divided, so this competition is very important.

It is also for this reason that the dean of the college, Professor McGonagall, and everyone in the academy attach great importance to this competition (which also makes Ryan realize that the style of British schools is completely different from the previous life, at least in the middle school stage of the previous life, each school does not pay attention to sports). ）

Gryffindor uses the fact that Harry is a Seeker as a secret weapon, and Harry is rarely seen in daily training.

But as Ryan said to Ron last time in the stands, no matter how secret the team project training is in this open-air environment, anyone who cares about it can still see it.

As a result, some people told Harry that he would play well, and others told Harry that they would have to hold the mattress when the time came. Run after him below to prevent him from falling—Ryan felt that both statements were equally bad, and hoped Harry wouldn't be overwhelmed by the pressure.

Now that Hermione has learned to get along with others, she doesn't go around blaming others for their mistakes as she used to, and she's less rigid about school rules. ("You're right, I think everyone should be responsible for themselves.") As long as I don't hurt others, I don't need to interfere in other people's lives. During a self-study session, Hermione said to Ryan. ）

Hermione and Ryan are still happy to answer questions for their classmates, but they don't show their homework to others. This made Harry conflicted, if he wanted to do his homework well, then it would take a lot of time to participate in the after-class discussions. But he didn't have that much time to train for Quidditch. There was no way, sometimes he had to borrow from Ron's homework.

Ron told Harry when he was learning about his homework that when Ryan and Hermione organized everyone to discuss their homework together, it really improved everyone's skills, and that they could answer most of the questions asked by their classmates, and if they couldn't, they would call his brother Percy to help.

However, Ron also points out that sometimes his homework is seen by Percy and inevitably reprimanded. But for the temptation to complete homework quickly and well, being reprimanded by my brother is really a small thing.

Ron then took out another notebook and handed it to Harry, saying that Ryan had asked him to bring it.

The notebook was full of class notes and briefings on homework-related knowledge points, as well as a bunch of small notes from his classmates cheering on Harry.

Looking at the notes, Harry's heart welled up.

This time he had to win - he was determined.
