Chapter 31: After the War
Time seemed to slow down, and the stones flying towards Brandi arced in unhurried arcs as if in slow motion, and everyone was staring at Brandi's wand as if something was invisibly attracting them. Immediately after, a purple spell the thickness of a forearm slowly emerged from the tip of the staff, and it converged into a fist-sized purple ball of light, silently sinking into the floor tiles floating in front of Brandy. The next moment, the floor tiles the size of a small square table trembled violently, and the violent shock wave suddenly spread.
Time suddenly returned to normal. The bricks used as cannonballs changed from static to astonishing speed in an instant, like a demon star shining with purple light, with majestic momentum and agitated qi waves, smashing straight on the troll's stubby right leg!
"Click~"
Everyone present heard the crunch of bones breaking, the sharp part of the brick penetrated the thick crust of the troll, and simply and rudely embedded directly into the troll's leg, the light blue blood flowed down the wound with a foul smell, and the powerful kinetic energy destroyed the leg bone as solid as steel, and the thigh, which was as thick as a tree root, was twisting backwards at an incredibly strange angle.
The troll let out a roar of pain, and he was tom-thud and knocked to the ground.
"Chance!" Parvati screamed. "Ron!"
Ron recovered from the shock at the sound of Parvati's scream, and although he hadn't gotten rid of the magnificent and eerie scenery again, he still remembered the task Brandi had given him, and he saw the fragile back of the troll's head. It quickly realizes that it's time to defeat the trolls!
He raised his hand, pointed his wand at the troll's wooden rod in the corner, and blurted out a spell - "Yuga Tim Leviosa!" ”
The stick slowly and slowly rose to the height of the ceiling, then turned in a different direction, and it floated very slowly, but the troll could not see it, and the troll was still struggling on the ground, trying to stand up on its other leg. It propped its hands on the floor, its intact left leg barely holding the ground, and just as it seemed to be about to succeed, the stick reached its place just right......
"Go to hell! Muscle! Ron let out a shout of excitement and withdrew the levitation charm.
"Knock~" There was a dull tapping sound. The final blow from Ron was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Whew...... ......The troll snorted, half-knelt on the ground and shook a few times, then fell to the ground with a thud - no sign of getting up again.
………… Just winn?
Did they win? Five first-year freshmen actually defeated the trolls?
Ron didn't move, he stared at the unconscious behemoth on the floor in a daze, the facts in front of him were so dreamy, he almost thought it was a vision. It wasn't until a few faint moans and Hermione sobs came from around him that Ron suddenly reacted after the troll attacked Brandy at the last minute.
He turned around and was horrified to find Brandi lying unconscious on his side, covered in dust and blood, and his right arm hanging awkwardly in a strange shape. The slate landed far behind him, and it looked as if Brandi had made a dodge to the left at the critical moment, so it only hit him in the arm.
"Brandy!" Hermione and Parvati ran towards Brandi at about the same time, Hermione was much farther than Parvati, but she was fast, and she rushed to Brandi's side almost like an arrow. Trembling and holding Brandi in her arms, she twisted Brandi's face and found that it was covered with blood, so she cried out loud in fear, tears crackling on Brandi's face like beads with broken threads.
"Wake up, Brandy, you don't want to die......"
Watch Hermione cry bitterly. Parvati's hurried footsteps slowed down, and she bit her lip and slowly crouched beside Hermione. "Don't worry about Hermione, he probably just passed out... You see, there's breathing. ”
"Woo...... But he shed so much blood! Look at his hands! Hermione wanted to grab Brandy's broken right arm with tears in her eyes, but she was afraid that he would feel pain, and Hermione had seen the heart-rending wails of the broken patients in the hospital, and her face turned pale with fear, as if she had been injured. It must have hurt! ”
"It hurts, he can't feel it now! Okay, okay~ Broken bones are skin injuries in the wizarding world, don't worry, as long as you go to the school hospital, Mrs. Ponred can cure it in a second......"
…………
While Parvati continued to coax Hermione, Harry also woke up. He shook his head, making his head feel better, "Damn, I'm still alive!" Ron! You guys go! ”
Then he suddenly remembered that Ron and Brandi were still fighting trolls when he passed out, so he felt a chill in his heart and looked around in panic.
He looked back, and the troll's body was lying quietly less than five meters away from him, covered with pale blue blood, Merlin was on top, how did they do this.
"Ron... It, is it dead? ”
"Probably not ...... yet"
Harry got up from the floor, rubbed his torn ass and tiptoed close to the fallen troll like a weasel trying to steal chickens.
"Hey~ Are you pretending!"
He cautiously kicked the troll. But he was hurt by the thick skin of the troll and the rocks.
"Don't scare me!"
Still nothing happens.
So he dared to bend down and pull his wand out of the troll's nose, which was stained with a large gray gelatinous substance.
"Phew—troll snot, disgusting!"
He wiped his wand against the troll's pants.
However, it didn't do much, it made the foul gray thing more evenly distributed across his wand!
"Ahhh I'm really enough!! ”
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door and loud footsteps, and all four people in the room who were awake looked up. They only knew about the battle, but they didn't realize what a big commotion had just happened, and it must have been the people downstairs who heard the violent collision and the roar of the trolls. Moments later, Professor McGonagall burst into the room, followed closely by Snape and Quirrell at the end. Quirrell glanced at the troll before letting out a feeble sob, sitting on a toilet bowl and clutching his chest.
"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall's expression was unusually terrifying, "A few first-year freshmen dare to directly clash with the trolls!" You're lucky not to get killed by it! ”
"Professor! Save him first......" Hermione sat on her knees, Brandi's head resting on her knees. "He's badly wounded, he's covered in blood!"
Without saying a word, Snape stepped forward and waved his wand, and Brandy's body suddenly floated on its own, as if something was holding him. He slowly spun Brandy's body in a circle, and he thought like a surgeon.
"Back, scratches and bruises; Head, well, two small openings are not a big problem; Arm...... Hey, this is cruel, the joints are all broken, is this guy grabbed by the troll's arm and thrown around as a toy? ”
Snape's mouth was still splashing with venom without mercy, but the crowd was not in the mood to contradict him. Everyone was nervously awaiting Snape's final result.
“…… Well, no doubt about it, it's a pity. Snape gently placed Brandi on the ground, sighed deliberately, and then looked at Hermione, who seemed to be on the verge of fainting.
"Oh, don't talk nonsense about Severus, he's obviously good!" Professor McGonagall glared at Snape and said with a hint of displeasure in her tone. "You can rest assured, as long as you go to the school hospital for a night, you may appear in front of you tomorrow. Of course, it wouldn't be particularly pleasant to re-fix the bones, but that's his own fault. ”
"Thank God!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and relieved herself before she suddenly felt no strength in her body, and she slumped limply on Parvati's body and began to wipe away her tears.
"Now, can anyone tell me what's going on? You're almost going to tear down the toilet! Professor McGonagall looked around the ruined toilets, her eyes racing over the wooden stick-smashed cubicle, the twisted sink, Harry's buttocks...... Finally stopped on the unconscious troll. Snape was looking the troll up and down, a look of wonder on his face.
"I'm really curious, this troll is obviously an adult, and when it comes to magic resistance, it's not something that a few rookies who have only learned low-level magic can defeat? Oh oh, what did I see... Hurt the thigh to limit its movement... And then...... You knocked it on the head? Not a bad idea, who did it? ”
"Yes......" Hermione was about to speak.
"It's me!" Ron preemptively said, "I used the Levitation Charm!" ”
"Hmm~ very creative idea!" Snape stooped over the troll with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
"What the hell are you guys up to?" Professor McGonagall said, with a cold anger in her voice. Harry looked at Ron and saw that he was still standing there with his wand held high. "Why don't you stay in the dorm honestly? Mr. Barton almost died for it! ”
Snape gave Harry a quick and menacing look. Harry stared at the ground. He wanted Ron to put his wand down quickly. At this moment, a low voice was heard.
"Please don't do that, Professor McGonagall—they're looking for me."
"Miss Granger!"
Hermione put Brandi down and slowly stood up.
"I came to the troll because — I thought I could deal with it alone — you know, because I've read about them in books and know them well."
Ron lowered his wand, and Parvati and Harry looked at her in amazement. Hermione Granger lied to a teacher about taking it down?
