Chapter IX: Suspicion (1)
In the golden hall, jack-o-lanterns floated in the air, and small black bats flew in through the door from time to time, and flew out in pairs. A few flashes of lightning flashed on the enchanted ceiling, and on a day like Halloween, the eerie and the lively were combined, with Dumbledore gulping wine at the teacher's table, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout talking with "hehe" laughter, and Bernard sitting quietly with his glass in his glass.
Offstage, Harry looked at the empty seat next to him, turned to Neville and asked, "Where has Hermione gone, why haven't you seen her all this time?" ”
Neville turned around and said with some concern, "I heard Barty say that Hermione locked herself in the girls' restroom and hid there crying all afternoon. With that, Neville glared at Ron. Ron, on the other hand, looked at a loss for what to do with a lot of desserts.
The cause and effect of the whole thing has to start from this morning, in the morning spell class, the little wizards finally picked up the wand for the first time, in the current class are mainly theoretical learning, at most is to pick up the wand to practice hand movements, today can be said to be the first time the little wizards picked up the wand to really perform magic. "Levitation Charm" is the content of today's Charms class, just as Rome was not built in a day, the correct use of spells benefits from profound theoretical learning and basic movement practice, but unfortunately, Ron obviously does not have the two good qualities of persistence and diligence, so it is understandable, his learning effect is not ideal, and he mispronounced the spell in class, Hermione couldn't help but remind a few words on the side, and Ron yelled angrily: "Why don't you come in person if you can?!" In the face, Hermione successfully used the levitation charm to fly the feather over the classroom, and Professor Flitwick praised Hermione's performance, the little wizards seemed to hear the "pop" sound in the air, and Ron lowered his head and blushed, like a boiled prawn.
After class, Ron, who was walking with his friends, couldn't help but say a few sour words: "She's so annoying, no wonder she doesn't have any friends except for the scary professor Rochefort." These words happened to be heard by Hermione, who was walking behind, such mean words hit the heart of this Muggle-born little girl, grievances, helplessness, not being understood and other emotions came to her heart, Hermione, who couldn't stand it anymore, ran all the way to the women's bathroom and cried bitterly, even ignoring the comfort of her roommate. This brings us to the beginning of the story.
Suddenly, the door to the hall was pushed open, and Professor Quirrell ran in, shouting, "Troll! The trolls are in the underground classroom, the trolls are in the underground classroom, and I think I should inform you. With that, Professor Quirrell fainted.
The hall that had been in a cheerful atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden, and then the young wizards who were frightened by this scene screamed and left their seats in a panic, trying to find a safe place to hide......
"Quiet!! Please don't panic, for now, the prefects will take the students of their respective houses back to the common room, and the teachers will go with me to the dungeon. Dumbledore's steady voice seemed to have a magical power, and the little wizard who was still in a mess immediately quieted down and began to move towards the common room in an orderly manner.
On the way to the Gryffindor Tower, Harry suddenly grabbed Ron's sleeve, and seeing Ron's questioning look, Harry said uneasily, "Hermione doesn't know about trolls yet, we need to find him." After saying that, the two of them ran back the same way.
……
"Hurry up, the troll is heading for the women's restroom." Harry looked at the shadow in front of him and quickened his pace again.
By the time the two of them rushed into the girls' bathroom, the troll had smashed the women's bathroom cubicle to pieces, and Hermione's screams could be heard from the rubble, as Harry shouted, "Run, Hermione." Together with Ron, he threw the block at the troll's head.
It's a pity that trolls with inherently inadequate brains won't give up at all when they target a target, and besides, this kind of pitiful attack is an itch for a thick-skinned troll.
Seeing that Hermione was attacked again, Harry drew his wand and rushed forward, but Harry, who was brave and unwise, could only use the poor little wooden stick as a weapon to attack the troll's nose, while Ron could only stand on the side.
It wasn't until Hermione shouted "Swing and Bomb" that Ron took out his wand and used the Levitation Charm as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and I have to say that the luck of the three of them was really amazing, the Levitation Charm happened to hit the troll's big wooden stick, and then fell on the troll's head after the magic failed, and under this series of luck, everything was perfectly solved.
This scene was hidden by Bernard, who was hiding on the side, and felt the sound of footsteps not far away, and lifted the illusion spell, Bernard rushed out nervously to meet Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell, just like the American police who are always late, and when they rushed into the girls' toilet, they saw such a scene: a broken and unshapen toilet, a lying troll, and three little wizards standing. Professor McGonagall clutched her chest as if frightened.
"What the hell are you guys doing......
"It's all my fault, Professor McGonagall, I've seen trolls in books, and I thought I could deal with them, so I ran to find them, but I was wrong, if Harry and Ron hadn't saved me in time, I wouldn't have died."
Hermione, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly spoke up, and what she said clearly surprised all the professors, Snape looked at Hermione playfully, and Bernard stood aside without saying a word.
However, it was clear that Professor McGonagall had taken Hermione's words, "In that case, you are so stupid that I thought you would be a little more sensible, and I am disappointed that Gryffindor deducted five points because of your serious lack of judgment." With that, Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and Ron.
"As for the two of you, your luck is just too good, very few first-year freshmen are able to deal with the trolls and come back alive, you two...... Add five points to each of you, just because you are crooked. As if he didn't think it was good to be so biased towards his own house, Professor McGonagall tightened her robe and walked out the door.
But Harry's attention was long gone, he always flashed Snape's bleeding right leg in front of his eyes, which looked like he had been bitten or scratched by some animal, and for some reason, the first thought that flashed through Harry's mind was actually the three-headed giant dog.
