Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 65 Basement Classroom Corridor

— By the way, if there's one thing worse than hanging out with a stinking troll, it's a bunch of them in a sealed hallway.

If these giant monsters were still in a state of sweating profusely, then the smell of that place at that time was enough to make the mysterious person flee.

It wasn't long before Hagrid had just one outrageous but quite reasonable thought on his mind.

Now, on the night of the Hallowe'en Feast, a new dungeon corridor has appeared beneath Hogwarts Castle.

It is a wide and tall slope passage, like a circular tunnel for giants to walk.

It does not connect to the main nave on the ground floor.Let's put it this way-except for the trapdoor on the fourth floor, this tunnel does not lead directly to any place above Hogwarts Castle, but an entrance directly above the ground on a side wall in the quadrangular courtyard.

The tunnel leads deep beneath Hogwarts and was recreated specifically to protect Dumbledore's Sorcerer's Stone.

Deep, dark, endless.

Hagrid and Professor Quirrell stood outside. Not far away, there was a particularly tall troll leading several trolls back and forth, constantly moving huge black and white stones from the edge of the Forbidden Forest to here.

After all the stones are moved.

Quirrell walked up to the larger troll.

He squeezed his throat, and a low grunt sounded.

It was like the sound of bubbles bursting in a swamp, or the sound of water flowing into an empty pipe.

— grunting.

The troll stared at Quirrell and grunted loudly, and the stench continued to waft.

Hagrid touched a cold sweat for Professor Quirrell.

Fearing that this stuttering professor would arouse the other party's anger, let the giant smash him into meatloaf with a big stick.

The two keep talking continuously.

For a long time, the giant rubbed its potato-like head vigorously, and finally made a loud noise, swinging a wooden stick and hammering the stone aside.

Only then did he put down the wooden stick, and turned around to direct the other giants to move the black and white stones to the bottom of the tunnel.

The trolls kept coming in.

The smell in the tunnel gradually became mysterious and indescribable.

In a word, someone threw an incendiary bomb into a public toilet—it exploded!
"Professor Quirrell, can you tell these idiots to hurry up!" Hagrid said to Quirrell in a muffled voice, pinching his nose and covering his mouth.

"There are other professors who asked me to take these things down by the way." He kicked two burlap bags, one big and one small, beside his feet.

"Hai-ge, ge..." a stammering voice sounded.

Professor Quirrell told Hagrid to let him go down and command the trolls to move the stones to the designated location-Professor McGonagall's level, and he was going to run into the castle while preventing the trolls from moving the stones.

"K-coco-I don't understand-troll language!"

Hagrid was almost speechless when he heard that he was going to command the troll under the stinking tunnel.

"No-thing, thing, the leader-that, troll-understands."

Hagrid's face turned blue when he heard these words, full of hesitation.

After dawdling for a long time, he took out a small crystal glass bottle from his pocket.

Pour the emerald green solution inside on your finger, and touch the bottom of your nose twice.The pungent mint flavor enters the nose along with other herbal fragrances.

This was when Hagrid entered the Forbidden Forest to deal with the corpses of those dead and corrupted magical animals. The potion he applied could effectively block the rotten smell.

But - hope it works!

He took the small bag of devil's net seeds at his feet and the big bag of old keys requested by Professor Flitwick, and tried to walk inside.

As a result, he fled back immediately.

——He almost fainted from the smoke.

Hagrid managed to get inside after Professor Quirrell had cast a Bubble Curse on him.

After seeing Hagrid pinching his nose and walking into it reluctantly, Professor Quirrell's face stopped twitching.

He lowered his head, his voice full of humility and fear.

"Master... why don't we go straight down from here, that big fool can't stop us..."

"Idiot,...the Philosopher's Stone is not there yet..." Quirrell's snake-like voice came from behind the back of his head, hissing.

"Dumbledore - will put the Philosopher's Stone there one day, but not now..."

"When that day comes, the Philosopher's Stone will finally reach my hands, and now untie the scarf..." Voldemort ordered Dokilo forcefully.

"Master...but you..."

"I'm not that weak yet, so don't hurry up... put the troll into Hogwarts, let it riot in the corridor of the underground classroom... let me see what level will be activated..."

Amidst the harsh reprimands, Quirrell took off his scarf tremblingly. The snake-spirit face on the back of his head struggled hard, and finally broke away, forming a frightening face like smoke in mid-air, and there were two blood-colored red lights in it, like eyes.

Voldemort turned into smoke and scattered in the air, disappearing.

——It seems to be from entering the circular corridor tunnel to the underground checkpoint.

……

Malfoy inspected the potions class, the corridors of the Slytherin dormitory, and even the corridors leading to the kitchen and Hufflepuff, and found no mysterious underground corridors, Dumbledore's secret treasure.

Nor did they find that Quirrell and McGuffin were doing something secretly, and they didn't even see the shadow of the two of them.

He's feeling a little silly, coming out of a holiday party, hungry, what's this doing?

——Do you want to go back to the restaurant now, maybe you can eat the last dessert to fill your stomach?

"Finally, finally go outside to have a look..."

Malfoy remembered that he had also overheard about the 'Forbidden Forest'.

He came to the marble stairs from the small door in the hall and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"If there is really nothing wrong, return immediately."

Just coming outside, Malfoy soon smelled a strange and pungent smell, so there was no need to distinguish.

He immediately saw the huge figures in the light from the castle windows.

troll!It's their stink!

Malfoy hurried to hide in the shadows.

Carefully lie behind the marble wall, looking in that direction.

dimly, he saw

——Looks like a wizard, with a bald head! ?
Does Hogwarts have such a person?
I haven't studied it carefully in Malfoy, but I just found that this person is a little familiar.

The troll approached the gate, he entered the hall, and found that he had no time to run into the restaurant, so he had to squat down and hide in a cabinet in the corner, praying that he would not be found.

The sound of incantations was heard vaguely.

- Silence!
There was no sound coming into the ear, and the noisy voices in the banquet disappeared immediately.

……

Harry was eating a potato with the skin on, and Professor Quirrell rushed into the dining room, his large scarf askew on his head, and everyone stared at him. He came to the chair next to Dumbledore, looked terrified, and gasped, "The troll - in the basement - I thought you knew."
