"Oh—if that's the case," Professor McGonagall muttered, as she looked at them, "Miss Granger, you silly girl, how can you think you can deal with a mountain of trolls on your own?" ”

Hermione hung her head. Harry couldn't say a word. Hermione was the least likely person to break the school rules, and now, in order to get them out of trouble, she actually withdrew and said that she had broken the school rules. It's almost like Snape starting to give candy to everyone, it's unbelievable.

"Miss Granger, Gryffindor will be deducted five points for this." Professor McGonagall said, "I'm disappointed in you. If you're not hurt at all, it's best to head back to Gryffindor Castle. The students all enjoyed a Halloween dinner at their own college. ”

Hermione left.

Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and Liu Jiecao.

"Well, I'll still say you're lucky, there aren't many first-year students who can take on an adult troll. Each of you earned five points for Gryffindor. I'll inform Professor Dumbledore about this. You can go. ”

They hurried out of the room and went up two flights of stairs without saying a word. They were relieved that they couldn't smell the stench of the trolls.

On the way, they met Ron, who knew that Ron had been dispersed by the crowd and wanted to reunite with them, but they happened to see the three professors passing by, and almost collided head-on, so they didn't come.

However, Ron was also very righteous and waited on their way back.

After listening to Harry and Liu Jiecao's experience, Ron felt a sense of envy, because facing trolls is not an experience that anyone has.

"We should win more than 10 points." Ron muttered and complained that although he didn't go, he unwittingly substituted himself into it.

"It's only five points, counting the points she deducted from Hermione." Harry said.

"Hermione is so nice, she stepped up and got you out of trouble." Ron admitted. "But don't forget. You did save her. ”

"If we hadn't locked her up with that thing, she might not have had to be rescued at all." Harry reminded him.

At this time, Liu Jiecao finally said: "Don't pretend, I see that you are also very worried about Hermione's appearance, so let's apologize afterwards." ”

Ron was stunned, remembering what happened to Hermione this time, although he didn't go, but he also knew from Harry's mouth that the process was thrilling, and the reason for this was only because Hermione was angry with Ron.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but nod his head. I think it's better to apologize.

They came to the portrait of the fat lady.

"Pig's nose." After they had the password, they went inside.

The common room was crowded with people and noisy. Everyone was eating the food that was brought in. Only Hermione stood alone in the door, scooping up, waiting for them.

For a while, except for Liu Jiecao, the other three people were embarrassed. Then, neither of them looked at anyone, Harry and Hermione just said "thank you" at the same time, and Ron said "I'm sorry". He hurried to his plate.

And Liu Jiecao didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly transmitted a message to Hermione: "See you in the evening." ”

From that moment on, Hermione. Granger truly became their friend.

When you go through something with someone, you can't help but feel good about it. And knocking out a twelve-foot-tall troll is one such event.

It's a pity that Ron was calculated by Liu Jiecao and didn't participate in this incident at all, so the relationship with Hermione was naturally shallow. It's just Harry's henchman.

If it weren't for Hermione's experience of this incident and figured out a lot of things, and Ron took the initiative to apologize afterwards. After all, she relented and forgave Ron, otherwise Hermione would never have seen Ron again, even as Harry's henchman.

That night, in the dream world, Liu Jiecao reprimanded Hermione, saying, "I know that when you see a troll, your first reaction is to be afraid. In fact, fear is a human instinct, and there is nothing wrong with it. But you are afraid to be afraid, but you forget that you are actually a wizard, and your achievements in magic are far higher than many of your peers, but why did you feel like you were stupid at the time, and you didn't know how to use it? ”

Here, Liu Jiecao will not be Hermione's friend, just a strict teacher, so there will be no politeness at all, and he will be reprimanded directly if he should be reprimanded, and there will be no mercy.

Hermione looked at Liu Jiecao pitifully, and in front of the strong teacher Liu Jiecao, she quietly admitted her mistake.

Over the past period of time, Liu Jiecao has conducted in-depth analysis of Hermione's original courses, making Hermione's magic level far higher than that of her at the same time in the original story. Because she has obtained different kinds of meditation methods, she has taken the initiative to improve her spirit in the process of different magic cultivation, which has further strengthened her strength.

Such a Hermione, she actually has to be rescued. In Liu Jiecao's eyes, as long as she uses her wisdom, she has enough strength to defeat the trolls.

So, in the dream, Liu Jiecao directly restored the most terrifying scene in Hermione's memory, allowing Hermione to face the troll again.

This time, Liu Jiecao directly told her that if she was killed by a troll in her dream, she would really die, which was not a joke.

Hermione's face turned pale, and she was forced to accept the arrangement, as the trolls had already rushed towards her......

The next day, Hermione woke up with a smug face, the reason was that in the dream last night, although she was still a little scared at first, just because she was told that she would die, and because she actually saw the process of Harry and Liu Jiecao defeating the trolls, this time she finally had a little courage, although she couldn't adapt to the battle for a while, but she had the ability to dodge and escape in front of the trolls at the beginning.

Later, Hermione grows bolder and finally defeats the troll in her dream.

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.

Harry was hardly ever seen playing Quidditch, as Wood had decided to keep Harry's participation a secret. Make him a secret weapon for their team. However, the news that Harry was going to be the Seeker leaked out. As a result, some people told him that he would play well, and others told him that they would have to hold the mattress when the time came. Run after him down to prevent him from falling - Harry didn't know which was worse.

For these rumors, Liu Jiecao made fun of Harry many times for this, which made Harry very helpless.

Luckily, Harry now had a friend like Hermione. He wouldn't have known how to do so much homework without Hermione, as Wood forced them to train Quidditch every minute. Hermione also lent him a copy of Quidditch Tracing the Origins, which he found very interesting to read.

Harry learned. There are 700 ways to foul a Quidditch match, and they all came in a World Cup match in 1473; Seekers are usually the smallest and fastest players, and the worst Quidditch accidents seem to have happened to them; Although few people die during Quidditch matches, referees are said to often disappear without a trace and only appear in the Sahara Desert months later.

Hermione hadn't cared so much about breaking the school rules since Harry and Liu Jiecao had rescued her from the giant trolls, which made her so much cuter.

Ron, who originally had a lot of opinions about Hermione, was able to accept Hermione even if he didn't go through that period of troll crisis together. It can be seen that Hermione is really different now.

However, although the latter is relieved of Ron, because they have not experienced the incident together, the relationship is not as cordial as in the original plot. But they still often act together.

In addition, Liu Jiecao had to hang out with his lolias from time to time, and he couldn't stay with the three of them for a long time, making the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione mix for a longer time. There is the possibility of being like the three-person composition in the original plot.

Of course, Hermione sometimes had to hang out with Liu Jiecao and the Lori, after all, the Loli were the first to isolate Hermione in the crowd. Someone who is willing to accept her, even if her relationship with Harry and Ron is starting to improve, will not forget her friends.

What's more, everyone has to be active in the same dream at night, and they all have to listen to Liu Jiecao's lessons, and it is impossible for the relationship to cool down.

The day before Harry's first Quidditch match, the trio took advantage of recess to go outside in the cold courtyard, and this time Liu Jiecao also participated.

Hermione had magically conjured a handful of bright blue flames for them, which could be carried around in a jam jar. They stood there with their backs to the flames for warmth.

Of course, Liu Jiecao doesn't know how to do this, it's just that he likes to hide clumsy and save himself from being calculated by Dumbledore.

At this moment, Snape passed through the courtyard. Harry noticed at a glance that Snape was limping as he walked.

Harry, Ron, Liu Jiecao, and Hermione moved closer together, trying to keep the flames out of sight; They knew it would certainly not be allowed.

Unfortunately, the look of weakness on their faces caught Snape's eye. He limped over. He didn't see the flames, but he seemed to be looking for a reason to reprimand them anyway.

"What's in your hand, Potter?"

It's Quidditch Origins. Harry showed him.

"Books from the library are not allowed to be taken out of the school." Snape said, "Give it to me." Gryffindor was deducted five points. "He made up a makeshift rule." Harry watched Snape limp away and muttered angrily. "I wonder what happened to his leg?"

"I don't know, but I hope he chokes enough." Ron gloated.

Liu Jiecao's eyes flashed, knowing that Snape must have followed Quirrell, and the wound on his body must have been bitten because he didn't know the mystery of the three-headed dog.

This is where Dumbledore's cleverness lies, although he has several professors each assign a level, but the content of each level is known only to the professor himself. Dumbledore didn't inform Snape of his layout, as it wasn't necessary.

However, Snape himself discovered the problem, which is another matter. Recently, he has apparently been paying attention to Quirrell's actions, and found that Quirrell's target is the Philosopher's Stone, and in the process of tracking, because he didn't know the secret of the three-headed dog, he happened to meet the three-headed dog when he woke up, and accidentally got injured.

Liu Jiecao knew very well that the three-headed dog was not a troll, it was a creature with considerable strength, although it could not be stronger than a dragon, but it would not be too weak.

If Snape was careless, he happened to be injured when the three-headed dog woke up from the musical hypnosis, and it was extremely normal for him to be injured by a sneak attack.

This incident also means that the important plot has officially begun.

That night, there was a commotion in the Gryffindor common room. Harry, Ron, Liu Jiecao, and Hermione sat together next to a window.

Hermione is checking Harry and Ron's magic class homework. She was adamant that they would not copy her homework, but when she checked it, they always got the right answer.

As for Liu Jiecao, he can always finish it as soon as possible, and he has no interest in helping Harry and Ron, so naturally Hermione will worry about it.

Because tomorrow was the game, Harry was always uneasy. He wanted to get Quidditch back so that he could relax his nerves and not think about tomorrow's game. Why should he be afraid of Snape?

So, he stood up and told Ron, Liu, and Hermione that he was going to ask Snape if he could give him the book back.

"I won't go if I change it." Ron and Hermione both said in unison.

Liu Jiecao didn't answer at all, just glanced at Harry and expressed his opinion directly.

However, he would not stop Harry, because soon Harry would overhear more news, which was also part of Dumbledore's plan, and even Snape was being used.

Harry had an idea, and if there were other teachers listening, Snape wouldn't turn him down.

He went downstairs to the faculty lounge and knocked on the door. No one answered. He knocked again, but there was no movement.

Maybe Snape left the book inside? It's worth a try. He pushed the door open and looked inside—and there was a terrible sight before him.

There were only two people in the room, Snape and Filch. Snape pulled his robes above his knees.

One of his legs was dripping with blood and flesh. Filch was handing him the bandage. (To be continued......)
