Chapter 13 Halloween Incident

That night, when Schelling and Draco and others entered the auditorium, they saw a thousand bats flying on the walls and ceiling, and another thousand bats like low dark clouds on the dining table. It circled and danced above, causing the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly to flicker. Delicious food suddenly appeared on a golden plate, just like at that first-term banquet.

While everyone was eating and chatting, Professor Quirrell suddenly rushed into the auditorium, his big scarf hanging crookedly on his head, his face full of horror.

Everyone stared at him, and saw him walking to Professor Dumbledore's chair, leaning on the table, and gasping: "The troll - in the underground classroom - thought you should know." After saying that, he fell to the floor and passed out.

The auditorium suddenly became chaotic. Professor Dumbledore had to make the tip of his wand explode with purple fireworks several times before everyone fell silent. "Prefect," he said in a low voice, "lead the students from each college to the dormitories immediately!"

Slytherin's prefect Gemma Farley stood up, and the Slytherin wizards lined up in an orderly manner and returned to the Slytherin dormitory in the dungeon. Xie Lin confessed to Draco and quietly slipped away from the team. Draco knew his brother's ability and a giant monster couldn't hurt him, so he didn't ask his brother where he planned to go.

Schelling quickly ran to the women's bathroom on the second floor according to the memory in the original book. At this time, the troll had not arrived yet, let alone Harry and Ron.

Xelling pushed the door hard and entered the women's room, calling out Hermione's name. Hermione was also surprised when she saw Xelling rush into the women's room. Sherlin said: "Hermione, I don't have time to explain so much to you. There is a troll outside. We must get out of here quickly!"

Hermione might have been crying for too long or squatting for too long. She couldn't react for a moment. Xie Lin grabbed her hand and rushed to the door of the women's restroom. He just rushed out of the door of the women's restroom, but he didn't. Thinking of meeting the troll, Hermione let out an inappropriate scream, completely attracting the troll's attention to the two of them.

Xie Lin originally thought that for his first actual combat, he would have panic, fear, nervousness and other emotions, but he did not expect that he could not feel any of these emotions. On the contrary, at this moment, he suddenly felt a warm current in his chest, and his heart felt like Full of high morale and unyielding fighting spirit - Xie Lin's soul as an adventurer in his previous life was burning. After reading so many books and learning magic for so long, Xie Lin was so excited that he could finally put it to use now. Yell a little to vent your emotions.

Schelling raised his wand, and the effect of years of hard practice with Dobby the house elf on countless nights was perfectly reflected at this moment - Schelling's wand fired an eye curse, hitting the troll's chest accurately. Eyes!

The troll lost sight and stood there at a loss for a moment.

Schelling would not miss this great opportunity. He concentrated all his energy, pointed his wand at the wooden club in the troll's hand and shouted: "Wingardim Leviosa!"

The wooden stick suddenly flew out of the giant monster's hand, rose high into the air, and moved to the back of the troll's head under Xie Lin's control - that part was the giant monster's weak point, and then Xie Lin held it in his hand The wand swiped down hard, and the wooden stick slammed into the back of the monster's head like a meteor falling to the ground, making an earth-shattering explosion.

The troll swayed on the spot as if dancing an exaggerated dance, staggered a few times, and fell face down on the floor.

Hermione seemed petrified and stood motionless. Xie Lin couldn't help but said: "Miss Granger, are you not scared? You... are a Gryffindor!"

Hearing Sherrin's words, Hermione's face turned red and she said flatly: "I'm not scared, Mr. Malfoy, I'm just thinking about why the levitation spell you used is different from the one I learned in class?"

Before Xie Lin could answer, loud footsteps suddenly appeared in the distance. Professor McGonagall was at the front, Snape followed closely, and finally Quirrell hurried over.

"Mr. Malfoy, I think you need to give me an explanation." Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses, with cold anger in her voice.

Snape bent down to look at the troll's smooth wound, lost in thought. As for Quirrell, he screamed in fear when he saw the giant monster, fell to the ground, clutched his forehead and trembled.

At this time, a low voice came from the shadows, "Please don't do this, Professor McGonagall, he is looking for me." Hermione finally struggled to stand up, "I came to see the troll, because I, I thought I can deal with it on my own, you know, because I've read about them and know them well."

Xie Lin sighed and interrupted: "Miss Granger, thank you for your kindness. You don't have to do this."

Xie Lin turned to look at Professor McGonagall and explained: "The fact is, Professor, I heard someone say on the way to the restaurant that Miss Granger was in the women's bathroom on the second floor. She was in a bad mood because she encountered something. Okay, so I haven't gone to the restaurant here. When Professor Quirrell said that a troll appeared in the auditorium, I thought that Miss Granger might not know about it. If she continued to stay in the women's bathroom, it might be possible. There will be danger. Although she is a Gryffindor, she is still my classmate, so I came here quickly and wanted to escort her back to the Gryffindor dormitory safely as soon as possible. Who knew that I would encounter a troll by such a coincidence? Woolen cloth?"

At this time, Snape finished observing the troll, stood up, looked at Sherlin and said, "You used the Eye Spell and the Levitation Curse? Can you already understand the advanced principles of the Levitation Curse?"

"Yes, Professor," Schelling replied calmly, "I can freely control the position of the target object floating in mid-air, and I can also make it attack by making it fall rapidly - Professor Flitwick knows this. Because of this, he asked me to write a paper on this research experience and send it to "Magic Innovation", and invited me to join his Magic Club..."

Professor McGonagall's eyes softened a little, and she said: "Mr. Malfoy, it seems that you are indeed the most talented wizard I have ever seen. Let's forget about it for today, but I still have to say, for a For a first-year student, it is still quite dangerous to compete with trolls. I hope you will act more cautiously and think more thoughtfully next time."

"I know, thank you, Professor!" Xie Lin was secretly happy. It seems that the treatment of top academics is different. When the professors in the original book commented on Ron, they all agreed that he defeated the troll through luck.

Hermione on the side heard that Sherrin was praised by Professor McGonagall and joined the Charms Club. She heard that he had joined Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club earlier. She was filled with frustration. She was already very Despite your efforts, why is the gap between you and Xie Lin getting bigger and bigger?

Professor McGonagall softened her tone when she saw Xie Lin's taught expression, "However, although your behavior was inappropriate, it was to save a classmate from a different school, and in the end you defeated the troll with outstanding strength. Twenty points for Slytherin, no exception."

After Hermione and Sherrin said goodbye, they found Harry and Ron hiding aside at the corner on their way back to the Gryffindor common room. Ron didn't say anything - but Harry confessed to Hermione that they were worried about Hermione. Something happened to Hermione, so he took the risk to find her. Then under Harry's watchful eyes, Ron also apologized to Hermione.

After experiencing this incident, Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron eased, and the three became good friends. Hermione is less concerned about breaking school rules, which makes her much more lovable, and Harry and Ron often need her help with their arduous homework.

The only difference between the three of them was Sherrin. Harry and Ron still hated the Malfoy family and other Slytherin students. Ron believed that Hermione was just used by Sherrin to sensationalize and earn points for the college during the troll incident. a tool;

Although Harry didn't think so, he couldn't change his mind about any of the Slytherin students;

Hermione, who is calm and rational, has some complicated emotions towards Schelling... Schelling's excellence is undoubted, and according to students from other houses, Schelling is not as arrogant and arrogant as other Slytherins. , on the contrary, he is actually very approachable, gentle and polite, but I don’t know why he is always on the opposite side of Gryffindor.

Xie Lin didn't know these things, and of course even if he knew, he wouldn't take them to heart.
