Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

She was shocked that the troll was lying on the ground and angry that a little wizard had disobeyed and run out.

"Okay, actually it's all strange..."

“Ahem, Professor McGonagall!” Zicomo interrupted Hermione and continued.

"Actually, it was because we had never seen what a troll looked like before that we ran out out of curiosity."

Besides, we've been learning magic at Hogwarts for a while now, and we're old enough to fight trolls.

"Now that trolls are causing trouble at Hogwarts, it's a good opportunity for us to put our learning into practice."

Professor McGonagall was speechless after hearing Zikomo's words.

What does it mean to be old enough to fight giant monsters?

You're only 12 years old!

What is the 12-year-old wizard doing? Playing chess in the academy's lounge.

You cousins, on the other hand, are busy looking for trolls to play with all over the castle.

The key point is that these two actually won.

Thinking about this, Professor McGonagall was still somewhat pleased.

After all, these two young wizards are both children of their own academy.

They performed so well that they felt very proud.

Ahem, I can't laugh. I have to maintain my serious persona.

"Very well! Mr. and Mrs. Granger. For your disobedience and recklessness, Gryffindor loses 5 points."

But because you brilliantly defeated the troll, Gryffindor gets an extra 20 points.

Professor McGonagall drew a conclusion on the matter.

"Now, you should all go back to the lounge."

Snape, who was standing by the side the whole time, didn't get a chance to say a word.

After all, the dean was there, so he wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to Harry.

But Harry noticed his injured thigh, and the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

Snape secretly vowed that he would definitely use that dog to test his new potion when he had the chance.

Back in the lounge, Ron exclaimed excitedly, "That was awesome! You guys actually defeated the troll!"

Seeing Ron's startled reaction, Zicomo figured all four houses would know by tomorrow.

The fact that the two of them defeated the troll.

"What a pity, I didn't eat much for dinner."

Hermione sighed; she wasn't particularly concerned about defeating the troll.

Zicomo listened to Hermione's words and thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

When did the genius little witch's character develop the attribute of being a foodie?

Could it be due to his influence?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Ahem, I packed some food to go when I left the restaurant. Anyone want to eat together?" Zicomo asked.

"I want it! I want it!" Hermione nodded repeatedly.

Harry and Ron shook their heads; they had already eaten.

The two were excitedly discussing the trolls.

…………

The following day, just as Zicomo had predicted.

News of his and Hermione's victory over the troll spread throughout the entire school.

Fortunately, today happened to be a Quidditch match, so everyone's attention was diverted to this.

Otherwise, he would definitely be pestered by people asking him how he defeated the giant.

"Hey boss, I heard you beat the troll yesterday. That's so cool! Can you teach us a move?"

Oh! He forgot about the energetic Weasley twins.

"Actually, trolls aren't very smart. Just use your shapeshifting ability to conjure something and knock them unconscious."

Zicomo said in a helpless tone.

But clearly, the Weasley brothers were not satisfied with this answer.

"Boss, can you teach us a couple of tricks?"

"Okay, here you go."

Seeing Snape walking towards Harry in the distance, Zicomo suddenly had an idea.

He pulled out a document from the system space containing the spell "Inverted Bell".

This spell can make a person levitate in the air.

It is the spell that Harry's father used to humiliate Snape, as described in the original book.

It is said that this spell was invented by Snape.

Poor Professor Snape, who knows how much psychological damage this caused to his childhood.

Think about it carefully, everyone. The school uniforms at Hogwarts are all large robes.

It doesn't really matter whether you wear clothes underneath or not.

Even if they only wear underwear underneath, it's not unacceptable for British men.

After all, they have a history of muscular men wearing short skirts.

If on that day, James...

Snape was dressed in the outfit mentioned above.

After being hung upside down, his robe fell due to gravity, revealing his underwear.

In case there are any patterns on it.

That would be even more disastrous.

Therefore, it is clear that Snape had quite good reasons for joining the Death Eaters.

Rather than fleeing the wizarding world overnight,

Snape chose to kill the students who had witnessed his death.

Seeing the twins happily accept the manuscript, I bid them farewell and left.

Zicomo prayed silently that Snape wouldn't see them casting the spell.

Otherwise, if Snape's unpleasant memories are stirred up, Zicomo won't be able to save them.

"Good luck today, Harry."

Snape had already walked up to Harry.

"Since you've been exceptionally admitted to the team, you're bound to win the Quidditch tournament this time, right?" Snape said sarcastically. "Even if the opponent is Slytherin. Humph!"

With that, Snape snorted and limped out of the restaurant.

Zicomo watched with great interest.

If this were placed in the world of anime, we could use the methods for interpreting tsundere (a person with a strong sense of arrogance) to understand Snape's meaning.

Was he reminding Harry to be careful when playing ball?

Harry clearly didn't get that.

His attention was entirely focused on Snape's limping leg.

“No wonder he’s bleeding,” Harry said softly.

Of course, the sound wasn't very low either.

Zicomo and Hermione, who were standing nearby, both heard what he said.

Only Ron, well, Mr. Ron, is seriously eating.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Harry's Guesses, Quirrell's Burning

"What bleeding?"

The perceptive little witch sensed the gossip.

“Snape’s leg, he’s limping,” Harry explained. “I saw his leg bleeding yesterday.”

"I suspect that the troll from last night was released by Snape."
