Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

After three years, facing a giant troll again, Harry's expression was momentarily dazed.

Back then, he, Hermione, and Ron had to rack their brains to deal with a single troll, but now he could easily do it himself.

After these years of study and special training, his strength was no longer what it was in his first year.

A mere troll was nothing to him now, especially since these trolls weren't real, making them even less of a threat.

That being said, the situation at hand was still tricky.

For a 12-foot (3.6-meter) tall troll, 50 meters was just a few steps.

To defeat the troll before it entered the village would require some skill.

Harry's thinking was clear: the most important thing in this instance was to protect the village behind him, so he had to slow down the troll's progress as much as possible.

Next, he had to disarm the troll of its club, because having a weapon and not having one were two completely different things.

Once those two things were done, the troll would be a piece of meat on the chopping board.

Without hesitation, he raised his wand and aimed it at the ground in front of the troll, using Transfiguration to turn it into a small swamp.

The troll stepped into it, and its speed immediately became like a snail's.

Then, Harry aimed at the club in the troll's hand and blasted it away with a spell.

Afterward, he controlled the club, slamming it hard into the troll's head from behind, flattening its head after several blows.

On the other side, Malfoy had also dealt with his troll, shattering one of its knees; after the troll fell, the instance automatically declared him the winner.

Unlike these two who were relaxed and at ease, the trolls were not so simple for the others.

Looking at such a behemoth rushing towards him, Seamus trembled in fear.

To him, a running troll was like a fully loaded dump truck barreling forward, it was just too oppressive!

He waved his wand, throwing Blasting Curses at the troll as if magic was free, not even bothering to aim at weak points.

So when his spells hit the troll, they were directly deflected, having no effect at all.

It was only when facing the troll head-on that Seamus understood how amazing it was that Harry dared to face a troll back in their first year.

How did the professor teach us back then?

He remembered, he told us to Apparate away immediately when encountering a troll.

Or, use Transfiguration to create a large animal to attract the troll and then sneak away.

Merlin!

Why are they all escape tactics?!

What's needed now is a head-on defeat.

He thought hard and finally remembered that the professor had also taught that the troll's weak points were its head and joints.

However, it was too late when he remembered this; he could only watch helplessly as the troll ran up to him.

Fortunately, these trolls were all magical puppets, and in this instance, they had no intention of attacking the participants; their purpose was to come to the village and steal potatoes.

So, it directly bypassed Seamus, came to a house, and began demolition work with the club in its hand.

Neville and Ron also failed to stop the trolls in front of them; in the end, a total of three trolls broke into the village.

They effortlessly smashed the houses, revealing the hidden piles of potatoes.

Seeing the potatoes appear, the trolls let out a cry of excitement, as if celebrating.

Along with the trolls' roars, the potatoes began to disappear, as if they were really being stolen.

"Marooned! The potatoes have been stolen, we're finished!" the NPCs began to wail.

"There are only two houses' worth of potatoes left; if they're all stolen, we won't survive."

Hearing this, several people became flustered, spells flying everywhere, almost hitting their own teammates several times.

The wooden club controlled by Harry was hit by an unknown spell and flew out of the village.

Neville was also affected by Seamus's Exploding Curse, and his whole body was covered in dust.

Malfoy cursed as he dodged a spell: "Weasley, watch your spells! Are you in league with the trolls?"

"The spell was deflected, what can I do!" Ron retorted unhappily.

For a time, everyone was hesitant and unable to form an effective attack.

The three trolls worked together, and the second-to-last house was instantly destroyed as if it were made of paper.

Seeing this scene, Harry suddenly became anxious.

No, this is too chaotic!

If this continues, they're doomed to lose.

"Don't fight individually, cooperate! Everyone focus fire on the troll on the far left, aim for its head, and hit it hard."

Ron and Malfoy immediately stopped arguing and began to cooperate; they had come this far, and they would be unwilling to fail.

Hearing Harry's instructions, Seamus also found his backbone; he was no longer panicked, and his spells became much more accurate.

Neville, needless to say, had been working hard to coordinate with the others' spells.

To pass the level, everyone twisted into one rope.

Under concentrated fire, they quickly took down one troll and then knocked the second troll down in front of the NPCs' house.

"Great, there's only one left, everyone keep going, there's still hope!"

At this moment, as if triggering a special mechanism, the last troll raised its left hand to protect its head, and then used its right hand to raise the club and smash it towards the house in front of it.

Not good!

The weak point on the head is too small; hitting it in the same way will be just a little too late.

Must change the way of thinking!

That's right, Professor Slughorn said that the Freezing Charm is a very special spell; when used by multiple people at the same time, it can form the simplest powerful composite spell.

Thinking of this, Harry decisively said, "Change tactics, I'll use the Water-Making Spell on the troll."

"Malfoy, Ron, Neville, Seamus, you four use the Freezing Charm on it at the same time."

"No time to explain, trust me!"

Saying that, he aimed at the troll and shouted: "Aguamenti!"

A thick column of water shot out, directly drenching the troll.

Seeing this, the other four did not hesitate to raise their wands: "Glacius × 4!"

Four white lines accurately hit the troll, forming a powerful composite spell—Multiple Freezing Charm!

In an instant, a huge ice lump appeared in the field, freezing the troll and the house behind it.

"Did we... succeed in passing the level?"

Before the words were finished, the surrounding scenery changed, and in the blink of an eye, the five people reappeared in that empty room.

【Potatoes! Potatoes!

Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge!

Clearance time, 23 minutes and 55 seconds.

Current score 67892 points, clearance rating D-

Current ranking, third place, please continue to work hard.

】

Passed!

Coming out of the room, everyone's faces were full of excitement, but under the excited expressions, there was still a hint of unwillingness hidden.

"Clearance rating D-? Is it because too many potatoes were lost, and the deduction was too severe?" Malfoy no longer had the mind to bicker with Ron and began to seriously analyze the gains and losses just now.

"The first place is Cedric, Fred, and George's team," Ron said, looking at the screen in the hall, "Actually, I think we can do better than them."

"Then we need better cooperation," Harry nodded, "I found that cooperating is much more efficient."

"One more time?" Malfoy suggested.

"Go!" Ron said with a rush of blood, "First place is ours!"

Several people discussed the strategy and once again selected this instance at the console.

When the room door closed, Harry rubbed his hair.

Was he forgetting something?

The room began to change, and Harry quickly put the thought behind him, gripping his wand and preparing to meet the new challenge.

...........................

The class bell rang, and Snape stood on the platform of the Potions classroom, his face as black as ink.

Are these students getting too arrogant, or am I unable to deduct points anymore?!

So many people dare to skip my class!

Interesting.

He glanced at the students and then said coldly.

"Slytherin, ten points will be deducted!"

"Gryffindor, forty points will be deducted!"
