Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

If he were a child from a normal wizarding family, his parents would definitely teach him how to recognize potential dangers.But DeWitt didn't know that his knowledge of trolls and various magical animals was only superficial.He also didn't know how much Professor Quirrell retained when teaching - yes, Professor Quirrell taught every spell very seriously when teaching magic, but when it came to the specific information about the monsters, Professor Quirrell was more or less Less concealed.This concealed part will not be recorded in the book, but will only make DeWitt ignore it, look down on the troll, look down on this example of imbecility that people have passed down by word of mouth, and think that he can really play with the troll.

And DeWitt really didn't care. In fact, he had such capital, but he ignored that his peers were actually not as capable as him. His performance under such a mentality-he defaulted to the bold statement that he could pass the "exam", which was just right. It also fits the image expected by Professor Quirrell - a reckless child who is inspired by destiny and specialness, thus blinding his rationality. He thinks he is different and has extraordinary talents, and he thinks he will shine in the upcoming "examination". .He guided DeWitt, and he thought he did so successfully.

So Professor Quirrell looked at DeWitt who was relieved, and he thought with a kind smile on his face, when this poor Gryffindor really saw the troll, he confidently rushed forward and used his teaching skills. How would the child feel when he was given powerful spells, only to find that these spells could only scratch the troll's skin?

In any case, Professor Quirrell has never thought of relying on a giant monster to directly achieve his goals. It doesn't even matter whether DeWitt trusts him or not. So what if he doesn't trust him?Professor Quirrell is a professor, and professors always have more authority than students. But after today, DeWitt was right about this. Even if this so-called "exam" is really completed, DeWitt will still feel guilty because of this. The battle with the troll attracted some people's attention.

"The opinions and vision of the students around you are about to change. DeWitt Wald, you are only one decision away from a new life," Professor Quirrell continued to encourage: "Why should you care about the safety of those idiots? You are already so Kindness, so kind and righteous - recall the cold treatment you received. At this time, it is enough to ask and get a promise that they will be safe - and think about Hogwarts, which is one of the safest places in the wizarding world. …”

Perhaps other freshmen would be confused by what DeWitt has experienced in the past few days and be fascinated by Professor Quirrell, but as described before, even if DeWitt doubts his initial guess, he has never given up on it. Professor Quirrell was on guard. Now listening to Professor Quirrell's suggestive words, DeWitt did not realize that the key to everything had been decided when he agreed to receive "instruction after class". He still thought he had seen through it. The person who knew everything thought that Professor Quirrell's conspiracy would be revealed in front of his eyes. He seized the loopholes and asked:

"Where did the troll come from in the castle?"

Professor Quirrell had already thought of the answer, and he answered calmly: "Ah, that is a security measure. With Dumbledore's permission, every professor is involved."

DeWitt was speechless. If he didn't pull out his wand and duel with Professor Quirrell at this moment, he would have no choice but to accept Professor Quirrell's reasons, otherwise he would be showing an attitude of open confrontation with all the senior leaders of Hogwarts. , but of course he didn't give up, and still wanted to ask: "What kind of security measures will use a troll? Isn't this an irrational and dangerous monster?"

"This is all for your consideration."

"Think about me?" This answer was really unexpected by DeWitt.

Professor Quirrell was able to say anything at his fingertips: "It was after meeting you that I selected the troll for my orientation level for today's test. After the troll, you have a new challenge." .”

So today is not the last step in Professor Quirrell's plan?Perhaps before the last step, Professor Quirrell will not change his official position. This "examination" is highly likely to be safe. DeWitt felt that he could get some more knowledge from Professor Quirrell's mind, so He no longer hesitated and replied: "Okay professor, I will definitely be able to deal with the troll perfectly."

"Remember, remember clearly," Professor Quirrell said at last: "On the second floor of the castle, you have to study in the library all the time, and be the last one to leave when the banquet begins. You will encounter the troll and deal with it finally."

When the time came to agree, DeWitt was still recalling what Professor Quirrell said - was it to deal with the troll?Didn't you just say that you should protect yourself?DeWitt almost thought he heard it wrong, but it didn't matter, he just knew what to do.

With that, he put the troll question aside and wondered what would be at his Halloween dinner—a new scene or a new treat?Would it be a pity to miss the party?But at this moment, he had followed Professor Quirrell's instructions and appeared in the corridor at the corresponding time. It was already too late to think about anything.Hermione was the only one who knew that DeWitt would not be attending the Halloween party.Of course, he would not tell Hermione the specific content of Professor Quirrell's exam, but only said that he would complete it independently. Of course, Hermione said as always: "Tell me the exam questions when you come back, okay?"

How to bring another troll to Hermione so that she can experience this novel examination method?DeWitt thought happily, his hand in his robes, twirling his wand round and round between his fingers.

The sound of heavy footsteps and the vibration of the ground were transmitted to the feet almost simultaneously, openly announcing the approach of a huge monster.As soon as DeWitt realized that this must be the movement of the troll, a pungent stench came over - it was difficult to judge which smell was worse, this smell or the odor of Professor Quirrell, but the two were equally unpleasant. It's just like a garbage dump, and the other is like a dry toilet in summer. The only difference is the type.

Mixed in with the footsteps were the sounds of heavy objects being dragged, and the sounds of decorations being knocked down on both sides of the corridor.During the time when the troll was slowly approaching, DeWitt recalled the troll's weaknesses - whether it was stupidity or stupidity, but intelligence is not an intuitive factor in measuring strength - and observed first.

After disappearing, DeWitt moved silently and swiftly against the corner. He approached the source of the sound. When he was about to reach the corner, he stopped and took a few steps back. He waited with bated breath for a few seconds, watching the giant monster drag it. Appearing part by part with heavy and sluggish steps.

This ugly beast has thick legs and a big belly. The loose gray skin hangs down and overlaps with each other. But there is not only fat under the skin, but also large and thick muscles.Perhaps because the skin has fallen to the bottom, the troll's arms and upper body appear a bit thin, but this thinness is also seen from the troll's perspective. For example, its shoulders have to be stretched across DeWitt to be as long as they are.Moreover, the troll does not bend its legs when walking. It lifts its hips and always moves part of the left and right sides of its upper body forward. There is also one hand behind it, pulling a big wooden stick as if it is detached from the body, and the other hand You can touch the ground with your hands by bending slightly.

The troll looked like a pile of randomly piled stones at the bottom of a cesspool, or like a rotten wooden pile.

Looking at this monster, DeWitt was really confused - should he chop off the monster's head, or burn it to ashes?
