Chapter 14: Mountain Monsters!
As time went on, Mu Yan had fewer and fewer opportunities to speak in class, and the professors began to subconsciously prioritize him last, because they found that doing so actually helped the class become more active......
But even so, many observant wizards found that Ravenclaw's score was still soaring unstoppably, and although the speed of improvement was far less than before, it was still far more than the other three houses!
As for why?
Because there is still homework after class!
Although there are not many opportunities for professors to assign homework, every time they do their homework after class, they will select a few excellent assignments and divide them into three levels of ABC extra points, A one, B two, C three, from top to bottom, 10 points, 5 points, 3 points!
This is also a major source of the Academy's points!
In this regard, Mu Yan only wanted to ask the wizards of the other three academies: "Do you know what is a question with multiple solutions, what is a classified discussion, what is a generalization, and what is a 2000-word reading feeling?" ”
I don't know?
Well, stay and you can go!
It wasn't the first time since October that the professors wondered if the scoring system they had set in place was too simplistic, but in any case, they didn't have the right to change the rules until Headmaster Dumbledore spoke.
In this way, at the end of October, Ravenclaw's score ranked first without any suspense, and compared to Slytherin in second place, it was 96 points higher!
In this regard, the other three colleges had no other way but gritted their teeth and hated.
……
Thursday, October 31, Halloween Eve.
A dinner is taking place in Hogwarts Hall.
Tonight's ceiling is filled with tumbling clouds and wandering snakes, and the sound of thunder comes from the depths of the clouds.
Grimace-carved jack-o'-lanterns floated in mid-air, and braziers hanging from the walls burned with scorching flames.
The atmosphere in the hall is lively, and Halloween Eve is always the craziest time for children, even if they are wizards now...... No, it should be said that the word "crazy" has been interpreted more perfectly in these wizard children!
Of course, this does not include Mu Yan.
For Mu Yan, this dinner party is not even as real as the usual dinner.
Why?
Because the table was full of all kinds of candy and red apples that were twisted in a thousand ways, and there was not a single flesh in it!
He picked out a piece of steak-flavored fudge and chewed it a little boringly, only to feel that the strong gap between this taste and the texture was really an indescribable disgusting! He really didn't understand why these people could still eat so happily one bite at a time?
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't allowed to bring books to the dinner, he might have started studying by now!
I pulled a piece of pastry from the plate and tasted it with an unknown red sauce on top...... The red wine tasted good, but the cream flavor was a little stronger, Mu Yan nodded.
These days, he occasionally visits the Hufflepuff kitchen, where the cook teaches the students how to make dinner with magic every Sunday night, and out of distrust of his craft, he decides to study it seriously.
Time passed in the excitement of the dinner.
On the other side,
Gryffindor's table......
"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked with some confusion as he looked at the empty figure beside him.
"Barty said she locked herself in the women's restroom and hid there crying all afternoon!" Neville leaned over a little mysteriously.
Harry subconsciously turned his head to look at Ron, because it was Hermione who heard Hermione speak ill of Hermione after her morning Charms class, which caused her to be sad until now.
Ron shrugged innocently, he didn't know that Hermione was behind him at that time!
Just as I was about to say something more, the door of the hall was suddenly slammed open!
"Mountain Monster!" Professor Quirrell's face was full of horror, as if he had been greatly frightened, "In the cellar!" There's a mountain monster in the cellar! He shouted as he ran.
All the students turned to look at him suspiciously, as if they hadn't realized what was happening.
The professors on the stage were also stunned for a moment, only Dumbledore stood up slowly with his desk propped up.
Professor Rocky stopped in front of the stage with a little shaking, his face pale: "......I think I should inform you......"
His voice became quieter and quieter, and after saying the last word, he closed his eyes and fainted to the ground!
Ahh
Screams of terror exploded in the hall, and the young wizards were like panicked ants, no longer caring about the candy in their mouths, and stood up and prepared to escape from the hall, maybe they didn't know where to flee to, but under the great fear, they still subconsciously wanted to get out of here!
"Exaggerated acting skills!" Mu Yan pursed his lips disdainfully, and took the opportunity to take out the last piece of chocolate cake from the plate next to him and put it in his mouth to taste, changing the flavor every five minutes, and the surging heat in his body made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Quiet—" Dumbledore's voice contained a deep magic, pouring into everyone's ears, everyone felt a loud bang in their heads, and the fear was suppressed in an instant, and only Dumbledore's voice could be heard still echoing in their minds over and over again!
"Please don't panic," Dumbledore said calmly, but his voice still sounded in everyone's ears like a drum, "Now the prefects bring the students of their house back to the dormitory, and the teacher will follow me to the dungeon!" ”
After saying this, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd and left the hall through the side door with a group of teachers.
"The plot begins!" Mu Yan carefully wiped his hands with a napkin and stood up, ready to go back to the bedroom directly, he had wasted enough time in this place!
On the way, his attention was always on Harry and Ron.
Sure enough, halfway through, Harry suddenly grabbed Ron, and the two exchanged a few words, quietly broke away from the team, and ran in the direction of the cellar!
Hermione is still in the women's bathroom in the cellar!
Although the relationship between the three of them is not as good as it was later, how can they not care with Harry's savior character?
Looking at their backs gradually disappearing into the darkness, Mu Yan suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
"Shouldn't I go along?"
He looked in the direction Harry had left, and then in the direction the team was heading, and it was clear that he was a little undecided.
In the original plot, Harry and the three of them used a levitation charm to make the griffin's stick fly, and in the process of falling the stick, they happened to hit the griffin on the head, knocking it unconscious and escaping the disaster.
It stands to reason that there should be no danger!
But...... He's not sure amusement parks think the same way!
"Forget it, it's not a big mistake to be careful" Mu Yan frowned, took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, turned around and turned into a corner next to him, added a silent spell to himself, and quietly ran in the direction of the cellar toilet......
Boom!
A loud bang came from the toilet in the distance, and the huge force shook the surrounding ground, and the walls were painted and fell!
The loud bang was accompanied by the sound of porcelain shattering and three panicked shouts.
Looks like it's already right!
Mu Yan quickened his pace, ran to a place not far from the bathroom in a few steps, leaned on the wall, and looked inside through the broken door of the toilet that was shattered.
The entire women's toilet was now in ruins, with rubble and broken wooden pipes on the floor, and three jets of water gushing out of the broken pipes on the left, spraying three fountains crookedly.
A twelve-foot-tall mountain monster held a large stick as thick as half a Mu Yan and smashed it to the ground again and again, making a dull crashing sound.
Under its clumsy attack, two emaciated figures hurried away beneath him.
Mu Yan could see clearly that those two figures were clearly Harry and Hermione!
Seeing that he couldn't attack the two little ants for a long time, the mountain monster let out an angry roar in annoyance, and slammed his left hand downward, and actually narrowly caught Harry's trouser leg, lifting him upside down!
Mu Yan's hand instantly pressed to his waist and held the wand in his hand! Eyes were glued to the mountain monster and Harry's movements.
Seeing that he had caught a small bug, the mountain monster grinned happily, and the big stick swung hard at Harry!
The dull wind was blowing, and Harry could even smell the foul smell coming from the stick, which was the bloody smell left behind by the mountain monster after killing an unknown number of creatures with this big stick!
In the midst of the crisis, Harry jerked his waist! The body bends upwards vigorously!
The big stick whistled and grazed his scalp, and in the screams of the two friends, it brought him a hot pain and indescribable fear!
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the plot is really developing normally!
Thinking so, his hand was still tightly clenched on the wand and did not relax in the slightest, the matter was not over yet, and he did not dare to let his guard down easily.
The first blow failed to hit Harry, and the mountain monster was stunned for a moment, and then a second blow followed!
"It's time to hide from Ron again......" Mu Yan muttered in a low voice, and suddenly frowned, he found Harry hanging down, as if he had a bit of pain on his face!
By this time, the troll's stick had swung into the air, and Harry was trying to bend up again.
But all the good luck seemed to run out just now, and this time Harry could only bend halfway no matter how hard he tried, and then he drooped again with a pained expression.
Could it be that he bent too hard just now, and his abdomen cramped?
A thought that suddenly flashed in Mu Yan's mind that made him cold, and in the next moment, his body instantly tensed, and the wand had been pulled out of his waist!
"Flash...... flashed over...... "There seems to still be a trace of hope in his heart, but the whistling stick does not give face at all, and smashes it down with a rolling fishy wind!"
"!" The wand in Mu Yan's hand pointed sharply at it......
A strong smell came from the tip of his nose, as if the stench of soaking the corpse of a rat in the gutter for three days and three nights before raising it made Harry's whole body swell!
He tried to bend upward, but the pain in his abdomen as if it was about to tear stopped him over and over again!
The sound of the breaking wind mingled with Hermione's screams, as if a train had drilled through its ears into his brain, and with a boom he seemed to see his own head burst like a watermelon under a huge stick! Red blood and white brains flew everywhere!
There was no longer the power to resist, and the stick shadow quickly enlarged in his eyes, filling almost all of his thinking space for a while! His eyes widened, as if he was going to greet his own death with surprise!
"It's over......," he thought in his blank mind,
At this moment, an angry and familiar voice was inserted into his mind like a sharp sword!
“…… Pieces! ”
Bang!
Sawdust flying!
The wind whistled shredded pieces of wood over Harry's face!
