180. The stupidest thing
Draco Malfoy had done a lot of "stupid things", especially when he actually fell in love with a Gryffindor, which was the stupidest thing in the world, and among these memories of "stupid things", Draco's most memorable memory was the hopelessly stupid stalking at the age of eleven.
He saw a naked/naked foot, a huge paw, Draco had a bad feeling at this point, and when he looked up, he saw a troll standing in front of him with a stick in his hand.
The troll's body smelled disgusting, and Draco let out a scream that probably made him use all his strength.
Harry didn't expect anyone to be there, his first reaction when he heard the scream was that something was wrong, and the second reaction was why this scream was so familiar. Because the screams were so close to them, Harry immediately tried to rush to the junction, and then he collided with a man.
"Trollsβ"
Harry had been thinking that he was lucky that he was strong, otherwise he would have been knocked down, but he looked down at the person he had collided with, his pale blonde hair and the beautiful eyes that looked up at him.
"Malfoy?!"
Yes, he knew why the voice was so familiar, because it belonged to Draco Malfoy. Draco glared at Harry with his grey eyes, "Idiot, trolls are here!" β
He looked excited and scared and shivered a little, and Harry could hear heavy footsteps and a foul smell, troll? How could that stuff be in school, or on Halloween night?
The troll had already passed from the transfer to the toilet side, Harry's eyes widened slightly, the troll in front of him was twelve feet tall, and although he was slow and looked stupid, it didn't mean that he didn't have attack power.
Harry took Draco's hand and took a few steps back, damn it, Draco and Ron were a bit of a burden for Harry here, Harry could use his magic without fear if they weren't anymore, but now ......
He pursed his lips and led Draco all the way back, he gestured to Thor with his hands behind his back to let him take everyone to the toilet, and then closed the door first, of course Thor and Harry's brothers for so many years knew what Harry meant, his face did not change and asked Hermione and Ron to hurry into the toilet, and he also turned and held the door of the toilet.
Harry calculated that the trolls should be able to reach them in a few steps, so he had to hurry up and escort Draco, who was behind him, to safety.
"I'll count to three, and you'll run over there like Thor."
"Harry Potter, what are you going to do?"
Draco had been scared before, for there was a troll standing in front of him, a dangerous troll. But after Harry took his hand and held him tightly behind him, Draco somehow found a sense of security in an eleven-year-old boy, which was indeed a little strange for Draco to think about later.
Harry turned back and gave the boy a relaxed smile, "Three, two, one, run-"
Draco pursed his lips and ran in the direction of the toilet where Thor and Weasley were as instructed by Harry, Thor held out his hand to Draco, Draco held it tightly as if he were grasping a life-saving straw, and Thor pulled the man closer to the toilet with a force.
Draco pursed his lips as he looked at Thor and then at Hermione Granger, who was pulling Thor's clothes, who had wanted to close the door because he knew that Harry would be able to take care of the trolls, after all, they had done everything that was more difficult than the trolls.
But just as Thor was about to close the door, Ron stopped him, "Harry is still outside!" β
Thor blinked, in fact, Harry had been stalling outside so that he could close the door so that he could use his magic, and now that Ron didn't let him close the door, then Harry was even more dangerous.
"But ......"
Draco pursed his lips, for the sake of Harry having just saved him, he couldn't order Thor to close the door, and he didn't want to be ridiculed by Weasley. Draco took out his wand, and he was introduced to magic a little earlier than Ron and Hermione, because his father and mother knew that he liked magic very much, so they taught him some offensive magic early.
"The flames are blazingβ"
In front of the troll and Harry, a barrier of fire suddenly rose, and the troll's mind had always been simple, so it stopped and looked at the flames in front of it, as if thinking about something.
Harry frowned and looked back in Thor's direction, Thor shrugged at him, this kind of thing was not something he could control, who made Harry so popular, even the timid Ron and Draco wanted to save him.
"Harry, come in!"
Ron beckoned to Harry, and Harry looked at his two friends helplessly, although he was still a little moved...... They're very good at holding back now! Hermione never said anything, Hermione was very entangled in the fact that Harry she knew must be able to solve this matter, but Hermione couldn't help but worry about whether Harry could really solve it, so Hermione kept watching.
"Stupid Potter! If you don't come in, the trolls are coming! β
The troll had already recognized that the flames in front of him were not worth mentioning, so he was ready to step forward, Thor nodded to Harry, if he didn't come in, the door wouldn't close, he wouldn't be able to use magic, and if he couldn't use magic, he wouldn't be able to deal with the trolls, and it would also put Ron, Draco, and Hermione in danger, a circle that hadn't found a solution yet.
Thor opened the door, and Harry ran a few quick steps to pounce on it, as Thor locked the door as fast as he could, hoping that the wooden door would keep the trolls out for a while.
"Don't stand in the way!"
Harry had already decided to find another way, he told Thor and them to stay away from the door, and at the same time took Hermione's hand to protect the people behind him, there were three people in need of protection between them, Hermione, Ron and Draco, although Thor was not very good at magic but powerful and clever, he made Harry feel very relieved.
It was always a bit overwhelming for two people to protect the three, especially since he couldn't use wandless magic in front of Ron and Draco, Harry rubbed his hair and wondered what the chances of bringing Ron and Draco down. However, Draco already doubted him, and it would be even more unclear if he brought people down again.
"Harry, what are we going to do?"
The trolls have already started to bang on the door, this wooden door can't hold up for long, and after a while the trolls will come in, and then their situation will be even more difficult, this toilet is at the end, there is no other exit except the one in front of them.
"Hermione, the good girl must have no problem handing it over to us."
Hermione nodded, he believed that Thor still had Harry's abilities, "I believe in yours, Harry, Thor. β
Harry smiled, well, now the two of them had the safety of three people on their shoulders, and it was a burden.
"Can you two help me protect Hermione and protect yourselves at the same time?"
Because of the danger, Ron and Draco couldn't care about the previous two looks, hearing Harry's words and Hermione who was pushed over, Draco frowned, he was thinking about what Harry meant, could it be that the Lestrade brothers wanted the two of them to face the trolls together? Merlin's socks! They must have gone crazy.
Ron took a step forward and grabbed Hermione's hand to pull him behind him, following Thor's example and patting his chest to reassure, "Harry, don't worry." β
Harry had a reassuring power in him, and then Ron knew it was the power of the strong.
"Harry Potter, you're not stupid enough to take your brother to face trolls, are you? You must be crazy! β
Hearing Draco's almost screaming voice, Harry didn't know why he burst out laughing, the boy must have been frightened, although he didn't know why he followed them here, but judging from this sentence and his magic just now, the boy didn't have a bad heart.
"Thank you for your concern, Malfoy, and trust me to be fine. And don't worry so much, you need to relax now. β
Draco gritted his teeth, he didn't care about a Gryffindor, he just couldn't see what stupid things Gryffindor did.
"What are you going to do?"
Thor moved his shoulder to ask Harry's opinion, "Given you can't use ...... Magic. β
Thor didn't say anything, but Harry knew, and given that he couldn't use wandless magic and couldn't use magic beyond his age, things were still difficult.
"We've done all the hard things, if you let you attract the attention of the trolls alone, can you do it?"
Thor looked at Harry amusedly, was this mocking his abilities? It's just a monster with a head.
Harry looked at the wooden door with a hole in it and pulled out his wand, he still had to use his magic if necessary.
"I don't think it's better to tell Dad about this, or we'll get scolded."
"You should be thankful that Greg has no magic and can't send us rant letters."
In the past two months, they have seen parents send barking letters to their children, and it was like a nightmare, being pointed at their foreheads and scolding them...... Harry shook his head, he was going to throw the scene out of his head.
The trolls had already slammed the door open, and Harry instructed Ron and the others to hide under the pool, trying not to let the trolls find them, and Ron and Draco, who didn't know that Harry and Thor's true abilities, looked at the two people with relaxed faces and worried expressions.
"It's all you Malfoy! You must have lured the trolls here to make us face this situation. β
Ron remembered that there was a Malfoy hiding with him, and that he was the one who screamed at the beginning, and that he must have lured the troll over.
"Weasley, don't use that stupid brain to think about such complicated things, if I had brought it in, would I have allowed myself to get into this situation!"
Draco thought that Ron must have no brains, like so many Gryffindors, and if he had lured the trolls here, how could he possibly hide here, he must have figured out the escape route early on.
"Because you ......"
Hermione couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Ron on the head, "Shut up! You'll let the trolls discover us. β
Hermione's heart was beating fast now, she was tugging at the robes of the two boys, her eyes glued to Harry and Thor, praying in her heart that nothing would happen to them all, that they would both be well, and that the professors must come quickly.
Thor moved, picking up the fragments of the wooden door that had been smashed by the troll and throwing it at the troll, "Idiot, this way. β
The troll looked in Thor's direction, tilted his head and raised the weapon in his hand, Thor lowered his head to dodge one of its blows, just to see Thor cleverly run from the troll's side towards the door, they can't put the battlefield here, the troll's attack is very wide, which can easily threaten Hermione.
Harry was hiding in the corner, with Thor in front of him to lure the enemy into sneaking up from behind, Harry looked around the room, there was a huge chandelier above Thor occupied, and it would be perfectly fine to stun a troll with the speed of falling.
Thor pinched his nose, the smell of the troll was even worse when he came closer, he was now standing at the troll's feet, then raised his arm and clenched his fist and punched the troll's gray-skinned, pimpled leg.
"Tsk, good hardness."
Thul's fist turned a little red as the troll let out a roar, and Thor moved his neck as he had received Harry's instructions, underneath the chandelier.
He made an OK gesture and there was no problem.
Harry could have allowed the chandelier to fall on its own, and he thought for a moment as he shifted his wand to his left hand, Harry used his body to block Ron's view.
Thor took two more steps back, and now that the troll had reached the bottom of the chandelier, Harry watched as the chandelier above the troll raised his right hand in a descending motion.
The troll was hit the troll's head by the chandelier, and the troll threw the stick in his hand and fell to the ground. Harry immediately shifted his wand to his right hand, and Thor scratched his head and said that it was still easy to deal with! That's the end of it.
"It's okay, you can come out."
Harry said to the three little wizards hiding under the basin, Hermione pounced on Harry and hugged Harry tightly, her heart was still beating hard, Harry patted the girl on the back, "It's done, Hermione." β
"Did Harry Potter just not use a wand?"
"What are you talking about?"
Ron took Draco's words as if he were talking to himself, he had just cared about the trolls and didn't even look at what was going on with Harry. Draco looked at Ron with stupid eyes, and sure enough, he couldn't communicate with Gryffindor at all.
Could it be that Harry Potter had mastered wandless magic, but how was that possible?! Another is that Harry Potter is left-handed, and his usual right-handed magic is all just a trick.
Either answer proves that Harry Potter does have many secrets, and it is certain that he is hiding secrets, but if it is really the first one, Harry Potter may break the status quo of the wizarding world for a long time.
Draco thought he should talk to his dad about whether wandless magic really existed in the wizarding world.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, Harry let go of Hermione and covered his eyes, just thinking about how to get out of danger, not thinking about the possible consequences at all, the voice just now must be loud enough to attract the professors.
It was Professor McGonagall who came in first, and she was followed by Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell, and just now Professor Quirrell broke into the hall and told everyone that their castle was a troll! As Headmaster, Dumbledore immediately asked the prefects to bring the students from their school back to their dormitories, while Professor McGonagall asked them to find the trolls to identify the students from their school.
Professor McGonagall then met Snape, who had arrived in a hurry, and they joined a Quirrell to search for the troll's whereabouts, and before they could get too far they heard the troll's roar.
Professor McGonagall thinks something must have happened.
They followed the direction from which the sound came and saw the troll that had fainted on the ground, as well as five first-year children, four Gryffindors, and a Slytherin.
Snape's face was not very good, for many reasons, the wound on his leg was still aching, and he had seen his own academy student at the scene of the troll wreckage, and also the child of his old friend's family, Draco Malfoy.
He glared at Draco, Snape knew that Draco and Harry were relatively "close", but he didn't expect him to be stupid enough to put himself in danger, not to mention that this was not in line with the way his old friends usually taught, and even less in line with Slytherin's way of doing things, stupid and reckless!
Draco knew that his professor was glaring at him, and to be honest, Professor Snape had absolute rights and absolute respect in their house, and although he was happy to see the professor put Venom to Gryffindor, it didn't prove that he wanted to be baptized by Venom. So Draco lowered his head and leaned behind Harry, meaning that you should look at Harry Potter and leave me alone.
Harry wanted to laugh a little, sure enough, Draco Malfoy was funny, much more interesting than Ron, it was definitely no accident that he would appear here, but the troll thing must have nothing to do with him, in the eyes of Harry, a mature man, Draco was just a spoiled child.
But Harry didn't dare to laugh, their professor was already angry, he didn't want to add fuel to the fire, Professor McGonagall's lips were bitten and white, she asked Harry in a cold tone what they were doing, Harry cleared his throat but didn't know how to answer, was it the truth or a lie......
Just as Harry was thinking about how to answer, Hermione, who was tightly guarded by Harry, spoke, "Please don't look like this, they're Professor McGonagall who came to me." β
Harry frowned and pulled Hermione's hand, what was she doing?! What Hermione cared about most was what the professors were saying of her, which would have caused Hermione to deduct points from Professor McGonagall's mind.
But Hermione didn't care about Harry's tugging, it was because of her, so she should find a way to get Harry out of trouble.
So Hermione made up a lie, about the fact that she came to find a troll and wanted to challenge, and Harry, Thor, Ron and Draco came to save her, she thought about every detail perfectly, who did what, etc., it can only be said that Hermione showed her high intelligence perfectly at this moment.
Snape looked at Draco who came to save people from Hermione's mouth, he wouldn't believe Gryffindor's words, he believed that things wouldn't be like this, Hermione was also his student, although Snape didn't pay attention to her, but he also knew that she was never reckless.
Professor McGonagall reluctantly believed Hermione's words, at the cost of Hermione being deducted five points, and Harry and the others had earned five points for their school, and Harry had calculated the deal in his heart, and it was good that all the points he had been deducted by Professor Snape had finally been earned, and by the way, he and Thor still had six points to squander.
Draco's expression was strange when he heard that he had also been given five points, although he did use magic to block the troll's tracks, but from Granger's mouth, why was it something else.
He, a Malfoy actually "saved" a Mudblood, a Muggle wizard?!
Merlin's beard! If Daddy finds out, he'll get a yelling letter!
Professor McGonagall asked them all to go back to their castle in the house, and they didn't need to be involved in the rest of the matter, Harry nodded to the professors, things had become like this, there was no room for manoeuvre, he and Thor took Hermione's hand left and right.
Draco waited obediently, just now his professor motioned for him to stay, it seemed that he still had something to ask him, Draco was a little unloved, how to say that an education was indispensable.
The next day, a letter appeared on the Malfoy family's table, from their precious little son who went to school at Hogwarts.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
I did one of the stupidest things I've ever done on Halloween, and I don't think you want to hear it.
Gryffindor IQ must all be negative, I'm pretty sure.
β¦β¦
Dad, there is a question that has been bothering me, is there really zΓ i wandless magic in the wizarding world?
Love your son Draco"
