To Chapter Thirty-Seven: Trolls
Professor McGonagall heard Brie's words and nodded, "Unicorns don't like to come into contact with wizards, but wizards who meet them are lucky. ”
"You're already doing great Transfiguration, but I don't think it's time for you to start learning Transfiguration."
Professor McGonagall picked up her wand and waved it at Brie, who saw the unicorn head on Brie's head become agile, and those large eyes looked around curiously.
"The dangers of Transfiguration are self-evident, and I don't dare to use it lightly, so you have to stop...... This is for your good, there is still a lot of homework you need to do before learning human transfiguration. ”
McGonagall tapped Brie on the forehead with her wand and said, "Hide your little trick, I know you're here to ask me about my next study plan." ”
Professor McGonagall didn't really get angry, but turned around and wrote on a note:
Mr. Brie Ouder was allowed to borrow "The Living and the Dead of Transfiguration" in the library's forbidden section for one month.
- Minerva McGonagall
"You can read this book for a while, it's still a little difficult."
With a smile in her eyes, Brie nodded reservedly, "I'll learn by heart, Professor McGonagall." ”
Receiving the voucher, Brie said goodbye to Professor McGonagall contentedly.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall, and Happy Holidays...... Oh, trick-or-treating! ”
Professor McGonagall browled her eyebrows, grabbed some prepared candy from her wizarding robes and said, "This is from Dumbledore, maybe you'll like it." ”
Toffee?
Pumpkin flavored!
Brie left Professor McGonagall's office and headed for the first floor, where many of the pumpkin decorations floating in the castle were lit up as it was getting late, and there were quite a few bats and dark clouds hovering and swimming in the air, and the jack-o-lanterns were flickering on and off, which looked very interesting, and Brie didn't have so much fun spending Halloween in the orphanage.
"Oh, look, that's Oudeh, what he's wearing."
"He's got a head on his head, he's a unicorn!"
Brie's outfit caught the attention of the young wizards in the hall, especially the vivid unicorn hood on his head.
Underneath the silver unicorn suit, Brie looked very bright, and he was a little overwhelmed by the excessive staring, and he hurried to the Slytherin table, where at least he could talk to Cedric by turning around and get rid of the strange feeling.
"Your outfit is amazing, Brie, I saw a real unicorn!" Cedric was excited, today he was dressed modestly, a peasant's outfit, and he also smeared mud on his face to fit the character.
Cedric tried to touch Brie's unicorn hood, which turned his face away in dissatisfaction and snorted at him.
"It's beautiful."
"Thanks, Professor McGonagall helped me get it with Transfiguration, and it looks pretty good."
Yes, of course, as the professors in the faculty seats sat down, Dumbledore looked at Brie thoughtfully, as if to explore something.
Brie politely replied with a puzzled look, as if asking what Dumbledore had been staring at him for.
Dumbledore came back to his senses, and Professor McGonagall on the side saw him and said something to Dumbledore, thinking that it was what Brie had said to McGonagall before, so Dumbledore let go of his doubts and winked at Brie, and then looked away.
"Looks like Dumbledore knows." Brie was a lot more relieved, but what would Dumbledore do, there was a monster in the Forbidden Forest, and Brie had been preparing to suspend the search for trance grass for a period of time, and first turn his eyes to the forbidden book area, to find soul-related books.
And before that, he had to return Quirrell's notebook, although he was sure not to touch it, but he would always be stared at by Quirrell, but it was too dangerous to meet alone, maybe he could take advantage of Quirrell's absence to shove the book into the crack in the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.
Like now!
Brie took off the unicorn hood from his head, touched its horns, and handed it to Cedric.
"Don't look at it, I'll give it to you, but its magic will only last three days before it turns back into its original normal hood."
The unicorn is too conspicuous for him to slip away.
"Oh, give it to me, it's not good..."
Brie put the hood on his head regardless of Cedric's opinion, then waved at him, cast a trance spell on himself, and left the hall.
Cedric shrugged helplessly, and saw the little badger next to him surround him, vying to touch the unicorn on Cedric's head.
"Be careful, little badgers." Cedric was kind enough to bow his head a little, and because of the ignorance of the spell, not many people noticed that Brie had left the table, and even if he did, no one cared, this was personal freedom.
Quietly taking Quirrell's notes from the corner tower, Brie hurried to the third floor, only to hear footsteps on the fourth floor.
Brie ducked into a corner and cast a Ignore and Illusion Charm on herself to see Professor Quirrell's back.
Brie's gaze shifted slightly, only looking at Quirrell's heels, people were always more sensitive than they could have imagined, and Brie didn't want to be discovered.
Come on?
Quirrell seemed to be going in the forbidden area on the fourth floor, and Dumbledore had made it clear at the beginning of the school year that students were not allowed to enter, and that was the place where they would die miserably.
Brie was stupid to keep up.
Brie was about to wait for Quirrell to walk away, when he suddenly stopped.
Quirrell looked back in a panic, which made Brie think he had been discovered, but Quirrell turned and hid in a corner not far from him.
"Da Da Da!" There was a sound of footsteps, and it was Snape.
It's bad luck.
Brie couldn't help muttering in his heart: Are these two people playing with you chasing me and hiding, can you let me leave first.
Snape walked to the forbidden place on the fourth floor, paused for a moment, and strode into the hallway without hesitation, while Quirrell slowly appeared long after Snape left.
"Lord, master, Snape has found out?"
"Yes, I'll definitely get the Philosopher's Stone."
Not far from Quirrell, Brie vaguely heard the words of the Philosopher's Stone and its master, and before he could react, Quirrell was sweating profusely and hurried away in pain.
"Please be angry, Snape doesn't trust me..."
Quirrell left, apparently going to the third floor.
"Master, the Philosopher's Stone?" Brie looked deeper into the tunnel, which was eerie, and then he heard a dog bark and the sound of Snape shutting the door.
Get out of here!
Brie ran towards the fifth floor, it was not appropriate to return the book to Quirrell today, maybe Brie could change the way Quirrell could take his eyes off him completely.
Snape is such a good professor!
When he heard Quirrell say that Snape didn't trust him, Brie had the idea that he could let Snape resist the pressure to get him out of Quirrell.
It could be seen that Quirrell was afraid of Snape, and as for that contract, as long as he didn't get entangled with Quirrell, Brie could find a chance to get rid of it.
……
Back in the corner tower, Brie began to rest, but what he didn't know was that tonight was a day when the other little wizards couldn't sleep.
"Trolls!"
"They actually let the trolls in." In the Slytherin common room, Malfoy said to Pansy and Daphne on the side, "Dumbledore must be old and confused, a troll is afraid to be like this, and any senior who is serious about studying magic can play a troll." ”
Pansy echoed Malfoy, "Let's come back from the banquet in the hall, it's a complete waste of our painstaking costumes, Malfoy's elven prince dressed as such a charming one today..."
Pansy blushed as she spoke, and stole another glance at Malfoy's proud little face.
"Hopefully Hogwarts management will be more cautious, that Filch should be fired."
The situation of the rest of the houses is the same as that of Slytherin, those scared little wizards are all junior and ignorant of the world, but they have heard the horror of trolls, and they are afraid without knowing much, and the senior ones are surprised by Dumbledore's decision, although they will have some difficulty in facing trolls, but the professor can handle it completely, there is no need to be so excited.
"Is Cedric back?" In Hufflepuff House, a prefect asked.
"Not yet, he said he went to find Brie Ode, and Ode left the hall during the feast."
The prefect worriedly paced the Hufflepuff common room, full of pumpkin chairs, before finally clapping his hands and saying, "I'll go find Professor Sprout, you're staying here." ”
With that, the prefect left the break room.
……
"What the hell are you guys up to!"
In the girls' bathroom on the second floor, a foul smell filled the air, and a huge giant monster fell to the ground, and a large bag was swollen on its head, and it seemed that it had fainted.
Professor McGonagall stood in the doorway in a rage, staring at Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Cedric in the bathroom, followed by Snape and Quirrell.
Snape went to look at the troll, but Quirrell cowered timidly, and Professor McGonagall calmed down, seeing that the children were unharmed, and said coldly, "Lucky you didn't get killed by it." Why don't you stay in the dorm honestly? ”
She looked at Cedric strangely.
"I think Mr. Diggory is an obedient little wizard, and I have heard many praises about you in every academy or professor, and today you are ......"
Snape also looked over at this time, which made Hermione, the source of everything, hurriedly stand up.
"Don't do that, Professor McGonagall, they're here to find me... And Brie, by the way, Brie isn't here! ”
Hermione's eyes widened, she hadn't thought of Brie just now because of the troll!
Cedric knew that Hermione was Brie's friend, and Harry said that they had made Hermione cry, and now they were hiding in the bathroom and crying, so Cedric wondered if Brie would go to Hermione, so he followed Harry and them.
Now, it seems, Brie wasn't here.
Cedric said worriedly, "Brie left the hall before the news of the troll broke, and he gave me the unicorn hood. ”
The unicorn hood was now covered in a lot of dust, and it was clear that Cedric and Harry had soiled it when they were dealing with the trolls.
McGonagall looked before looking at Hermione.
"Miss Granger!"
