Hogwarts: Starting with the creation of the One Ring

That parchment mentioned that the cannibal is a common magical creature, so numerous that it is even divided into many different populations, and if what is written on the parchment is true, there is only one possibility, that is, the cannibal was extinct thousands of years ago. "

"Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why no one has seen or even recorded this creature for thousands of years." "

"But if it goes extinct, where did this cannibal come from? "

Snape's hand ran across William's skin, his brow furrowed.

"It has many traces of battle on its skin, scars left by sharp weapons, marks left by arrows, blows from blunt objects, bites from beasts, claw marks from sharp claws..."

"That means it's been fought a lot, but we've never heard of it. "

Snape stood up, glanced at the professors with different looks, and then looked at Dumbledore.

"Go meet Quirrell and see what he has to say, after all, this Mr. Troll, he brought Hogwarts." "

Dumbledore nodded, looked at the cannibal corpse on the ground, and said

"Of course, it is not ruled out that there is another possibility, maybe Professor Quirrell brought a troll, but someone replaced it with a man-eating demon, if that's the case..."

Dumbledore fell silent, and a rare flash of sadness flashed across his face.

He thought that everything was under his control, but now, it seems that something is going in an unpredictable direction.

"Clean up this place, put the body in Hagrid's first, I'll find a chance to give it to Newt to study and see if this thing is made by some evil black magic..."

Professor McGonagall and the others nodded and began to repair the castle, while Dumbledore and Snape left to meet Quirrell.

Although William's damage to the castle is great, it is not difficult to repair it under the power of magic.

The professors only waved their wands a few times, and the broken stones were restored to stone, which in turn formed the walls, and it didn't take long for the entire castle to be restored to its original state.

When Dumbledore and Snape went to find Quirrell's infirmary, the guy was shivering under the covers, and when the two explained their intentions, Quirrell's eyes widened.

"Nope... No, I... I'm a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher after all... Professor, how can you admit mistakes and recognize trolls?"

Quirrell explained nervously, but his heart was slandering.

The monster was personally captured by him and released by his own hands.

How could there be a mistake?

Dumbledore, the old fox, wouldn't suspect him?

So run over and scam him?

"So, you're sure that one in the basement is a troll?"

Snape stared into Quirrell's eyes, Quirrell did not dare to look at him, glanced to the side, and whispered:

"I... I'm sure it's a... A mountain troll, after all, after all, that's me... Personally brought, in order to protect the Philosopher's Stone, you know, Headmaster, it's just me... I didn't expect it to run out. "

"It ran out uncontrollably, me, I was terrified..."

Quirrell muttered, his face full of fear and apology.

"Well, Professor Quirrell, come out and take a look with us. "

Seeing this, Dumbledore said nothing more, got up to leave, Snape motioned for Quirrell to follow, and also turned to leave.

Quirrell didn't know what tricks Dumbledore was playing, but he faintly felt that the situation was not right, and secretly got out of bed with vigilance and followed the footsteps of Dumbledore and the two.

William's body had been taken out of the castle by several professors and placed not far from Hagrid's hut.

When Quirrell saw this huge man-eating demon, the whole person was in a state of shock.

"This... This..."

Quirrell really stuttered this time.

"What is it?"

Quirrell looked at William's body, he didn't know about the parchment, and he didn't know the cannibal.

"It's a troll. "

Snape said sadly from the side.

Quirrell looked at Snape like an idiot, thinking that I was pretending to be a coward, not an idiot.

Can this thing be a troll?

"Snape... Professor, don't, no kidding. "

Quirrell glanced at Dumbledore and said tremblingly

"This monster... How could it be a troll?"

Dumbledore's soft gaze fell on Quirrell's face, and with an inexplicable inquiring meaning, he said gently:

"But you said it was a troll. "

"You mean..."

Quirrell also reacted at this time, looked at William's body stunned, and asked unsurely

"This thing you met in the basement?"

"Not the underground classroom, it was already near the girls' bathroom on the second floor when we arrived, Professor Quirrell, you mean, what you call a troll?"

"Of course not!"

Quirrell screamed, pointing at the huge corpse of the ogre and screaming

Besides, I personally brought it to protect the Philosopher's Stone, if it was this monster, how could I not recognize it?!"

"Then again, what kind of monster is this? What kind of monster is this? Where did it go?"

Professor Quirrell said, his face turning pale sharply.
