Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 20 Follow-up

Tangning didn't think about Quirrell for the time being. It was very likely that Quirrell was responsible for the troll. Unfortunately, Tangning had no evidence. What he wanted to know now was another thing. He asked Harry and Ron: "You guys Did you see anyone else when you came here just now? It has only been three to five minutes since I came in, and the toilet door was locked. You must have seen someone!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other and murmured speechlessly. One of their faces became paler, and the other's ears turned red.Tangning looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"We'd better leave quickly, who knows when this troll will wake up!" Hermione said without noticing the situation. She was fed up with the smell of trolls.

At this time, there was suddenly a loud and chaotic sound of footsteps outside. The professors should have heard the big noise just now.

After a while, Professor McGonagall came to the door of the toilet, followed closely by Snape, Quirrell at the end, and Parvati next to him.Quirrell only glanced at the troll, then let out a weak sob. He sat on a toilet, clutching his chest tightly, and Snape bent down to look at the troll lying in front of the door.Parvati stood behind Professor McGonagall, looking worriedly at the four people still in the toilet, but she did not dare to speak because Professor McGonagall had never been so angry in front of the little wizard.

"What the hell are you playing?" Professor McGonagall said, her lips turned pale and there was cold anger in her voice, "Potter, Weasley, why are you here!"

"You are lucky not to be killed by it. Why don't you just stay in the dormitory?" Snape quickly gave Harry and Tangning a provocative look.Harry looked down at the ground, and Tangning responded to Snape with a shy smile...

At this time, a low voice suddenly came from behind Tangning: "Please don't do this, Professor McGonagall, they are looking for me."

"Miss Granger!"

Hermione took a step forward: "I came to find the troll because I, I thought I could deal with it alone. Because I had read about them in books and knew them very well. If Harry and Ron hadn't attracted the troll Tangning and I can't knock out the troll so easily." Harry and Ron tried their best to pretend that they were already familiar with this story, but Tangning could only express that this lie was too easy to expose, because if If there were no accidents, Professor McGonagall should have listened to Parvati explain the ins and outs.

"Oh, Miss Granger, you silly girl." Professor McGonagall stared at them and muttered, "You don't have to say this to protect your friends, Parvati has already told me everything." Hermione blushed. She lowered her head. There was nothing more embarrassing than lying in front of respected Professor McGonagall and having it immediately exposed. If there was a crack in the ground, Miss Granger would definitely want to get into it.

Harry and Ron couldn't say a word. Hermione was the last person likely to break school rules, and now, in order to get them out of trouble, she lied about breaking school rules.It was almost like Snape started handing out sweets to everyone, it was unbelievable.

"Professor McGonagall, we actually don't know why there are trolls in the school. We originally just wanted to call Hermione to attend the banquet. By the time we found Hermione, the trolls had already blocked our way," Tangning tried. Remedy, if the existence of the troll was not known in advance, there would be no reason for punishment.Tangning never knew about the troll in advance, so he wanted to make Harry and Ron look like him.

Harry and Ron also looked at Tangning gratefully, pretending that they had never heard of trolls in the restaurant.Apart from the two of them, Snape glanced at Tangning again. Tangning understood that he was not satisfied with him speaking for Harry.

"I know, Mr. Leicester, I'm proud of you. Because you calmly let Miss Patil inform us and bravely rescued your classmates, you won five points for Gryffindor. Of course, if you can bring the child to the rescue in time, It would be better if Miss Granger leaves." Professor McGonagall said, "And Miss Patil, you did your best to inform us, and you get two points!"

Only then did Tangning realize that Professor McGonagall's anger was not directed at the students, but at the fact that the troll that appeared in the school almost hurt the students.

Then, Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and Ron, "Well, I still have to say that you are lucky, not many first-year students can compete with an adult troll. The four of you win for Gryffindor." Three points, everyone. I will inform Professor Dumbledore about this. Now, if you four are not injured at all, you'd better go back to Gryffindor Castle as soon as possible. The students are on their own We’re having a Halloween dinner at our college.”

Tangning hurriedly pulled Hermione out of the room. When they stepped over the troll, the troll's chest was still rising and falling.

The five people climbed the two flights of stairs without saying a word.Finally they could no longer smell the stench of the troll, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"We should have got more than three points," Ron grumbled.

"Really?" Tangning sneered, "You should tell me now who locked the toilet door! Right? Harry? Ron?"

"You know?" Harry said apologetically, "Sorry, we didn't know the troll was inside."

"We didn't know you were in that room before, but didn't we open the door after we found out?" Ron explained forcefully.

"If the door hadn't been locked, Hermione and I would have run out long ago!"

"Stop arguing, we defeated the troll in the end, didn't we?" Hermione tried to resolve the conflict.

……

Wait until they come to the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Pig nose." After saying the password, they got in.The common room was crowded and noisy.Everyone was eating the food that was served.

Tangning quickly went back to the dormitory to change clothes. His clothes were stained with the troll's saliva, which was disgusting.

And in the end, no matter how Tangning asked, Hermione was unwilling to tell Tangning the reason why she was hiding in the toilet and crying.But Tangning still discovered Hermione's problem: she didn't have many friends. At least if Parvati was her friend, she wouldn't refuse Parvati's comfort.

Tang Ning finally gave some advice, and he finally gave his own example - although it was difficult for Tang Ning to communicate with Jeffrey and Andrew at the beginning, now, they often go to and from get out of class together, and they will share some interesting things they encountered together. , isn’t this the beginning of friendship? "So, Hermione, communicate well with Parvati. Start by thanking her. She was worried about you before. But now, you need more friends."

Of course, it's hard not to bond with someone after you've experienced something together, and knocking out a twelve-foot-tall troll was one such event.
