Chapter XXXIII

Harry climbed up from the troll, shivering and panting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the troll's fallen body, Al and the others looked at each other, and finally Hermione spoke first.

"It's... Dead?"

Al observed, and he noticed that although the troll was lying on the floor, motionless and eyes closed, its ribcage was still heaving, and it was clearly not dead.

Al shook his head and said to the others, "It's not dead, it's just knocked unconscious. ”

Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Harry bent down and pulled his wand from the troll's nose, which was still stained with a large chunk of gray gelatinous substance.

Ron let out a retching snort, then said in disgust, "Phew, that's all troll's big snot!"

Harry frowned and wiped his wand against the troll's pants.

Al breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Hermione, Harry, and Ron, and asked, "Are you all right?"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of loud footsteps outside the door of the women's bathroom, and Al and the others looked out of the door. Moments later, Professor McGonagall burst into the room, followed closely by Snape and Quirrell.

Professor McGonagall was startled by the sight in the women's bathroom, her face turning pale and gasping.

Snape's mouth was closed and he didn't say a word, bending down to check on the troll, and Professor Quirrell let out a feeble sob, leaning against the door of the women's bathroom, clutching his chest.

Al realized that it must have been the fight just now, and the noise was so loud that others could hear the violent collision and the roar of the trolls.

"What the hell are you guys up to?" Professor McGonagall said, her voice cold with anger, Al had never seen her so angry.

"If you're lucky that you weren't killed by the trolls, why don't you stay in the dorm honestly?"

Al was speechless and glanced at Hermione, who he and Hermione didn't even know that a troll had broken into the school.

Snape stood up and looked at the Al with a menacing gaze.

Hermione stepped forward, her head down, looking at her feet, and said to Professor McGonagall, "I'm sorry Professor, it's all my fault, please don't blame them, it's all my fault." ”

Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione in disbelief and exclaimed, "Miss Granger!?"

"Because I've read about trolls in books and know a lot about them, so... I thought I could deal with it on my own... , just one person came to find the troll. ”

Al, Harry, and Ron couldn't believe their ears, and Hermione, who had always respected her teacher, had lied to her teacher this time.

"If they hadn't come to me, I'd have been dead by now. Still not daring to look up, Hermione said, "Ron caught the troll's attention, Harry put his wand in the troll's nose, and El knocked the troll down. They didn't have time to find someone, and when they arrived, the trolls were about to eat me in one bite. ”

Harry and Ron sat aside, trying to pretend they were already familiar with the story.

"That's so!" Professor McGonagall muttered as she looked at Al and the others, "Miss Granger, you stupid girl, how can you think you can deal with a mountain of trolls alone?"

Hermione's head hung lower.

Al knew that Hermione was the least likely to break the school rules, and now, in order to get them out of trouble, she actually lied that she had broken the school rules.

It's almost like Snape is starting to give candy to everyone, it's unbelievable.

"Miss Granger, Gryffindor is going to be deducted five points for this. "I'm disappointed in you, and if you don't hurt at all, you'd better go back to the cafeteria, where the students are enjoying the Halloween dinner." ”

Hermione glanced at Al and left alone.

Professor McGonagall looked at Al, Harry, and Ron.

"Well, I'll still say you're lucky, there aren't a few first-year students who can take on an adult troll. Each of you has earned five points for Gryffindor, and I'll inform Professor Dumbledore about that, all right, you can go. ”

The Al hurriedly left the women's restroom and came to the door of the restaurant without saying a word, and they breathed a sigh of relief, finally they couldn't smell the stench on the troll.

Ron muttered and complained, "We've won too few points, and defeating an adult troll should be more than that." ”

Harry shook his head as he said, "Add in the points Hermione deducted, and we've only earned Gryffindor ten points this time." ”

Ron nodded, and he said, "Hermione did a good job this time, we saved her in vain, and she even lied in front of the professor to get us out of trouble." ”

Al stopped, looked at Harry and Ron, and asked, "You two closed the door to the women's restroom before, right?"

For a moment, Harry and Ron were embarrassed and didn't know what to do, and Harry stiffened his head and said, "Hey... I'm really sorry, Al, we didn't know you and Hermione were in there. ”

Al nodded, he looked at Ron, and said solemnly, "I know, so I don't blame you, but I want to correct what you just said, if you didn't close the door, I'm afraid you wouldn't need to meddle in this matter." ”

"And I've always wondered why Hermione was crying in the women's bathroom, and although she didn't tell me why, it was not difficult to see from the fact that you were there just now, it must have something to do with you, right?"

Ron's face was flushed, and it was almost as red as his fiery hair.

Al looked at the two of them and said, "Of course, although this matter has nothing to do with me, from the perspective of Hermione's friends, no matter who is right or wrong, I hope that you two can go to Hermione and resolve this matter." ”

"After all, you are all men, and men have to dare to act. ”

Once in the dining room, Al found Hermione at the Gryffindor table, where Hermione was waiting for them.

The whole restaurant was noisy and everyone was eating the delicious food on the table.

Al, Harry, and Ron sat down next to Hermione, looking at each other, neither of them speaking first.

After a moment of silence, Ron glanced at Al, then plucked up his courage and said to Hermione, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have said bad things about you. ”

Harry hurriedly said, "Forgive us." ”

After the troll incident with Harry and Ron, Hermione's anger had long since disappeared, and she was no longer sad, she nodded and said, "It's not a big deal, I forgave you a long time ago." ”
