HP: Let professors walk towards the light

?

After class, a group of Gryffindors were walking in the corridor, and a man with a black and gray face mixed in.

"No wonder everyone can't stand her. To be honest, she's like a nightmare!" Weasley said with a smile. When Hermione, who was right behind him, heard it, she felt aggrieved. She pushed Harry away and walked forward without looking back, tears falling down her face.

"I think she heard it," said Harry dully.

"Uh... so what? She can think of it herself. Look, she doesn't have any friends." Ron said guiltily.

Reina and Pansy, who were sitting at the corner, happened to hear the whole process.

"Look, it's really pitiful. Miss Gryffindor's Muggle know-it-all has been isolated by her own people. This is really inconsistent with their self-proclaimed style." Pansy looked at the direction where Granger left and snorted coldly: "Weasley is only that capable. Go back, Rena, the air here is polluted."

"You go back first. I still want to go to the library. You don't have to accompany me."

"Well, you better be careful. If you get into trouble, just run away."

"I know. I won't."

The two said goodbye and walked in different directions. The voice said to Harry. As she walked, Reina thought about the troll that appeared at the banquet tonight. In the past, she was taken back to the common room by the prefect and everyone continued to celebrate Halloween.

Although she hadn't investigated it carefully, it was very likely that Quirrell had brought this troll, so what was this part for? She didn't know much about Quirrell, she only knew that he suddenly disappeared before the end of the semester, and Dumbledore's words to the outside world were obviously just an excuse, but she could guess that Quirrell should be a Death Eater, because he didn't have any big impact and she didn't care much about this person.

The troll must be creating chaos to facilitate its actions. As for why it is acting... Although she wanted to observe Quirrell's movements last time, she was discovered and pulled back by the class leader when she was about to leave the team to follow him. She was also watched by Draco the whole time and could not do anything.

However, Dumbledore would not let Quirrell do anything excessive under his nose. Although the appearance of the troll was indeed somewhat unexpected, every time he heard that it was Harry and the others who solved the problem of the troll, it should be safe. As for Quirrell's plan, it failed, so there was no need to figure it out. After all, it was just something related to Voldemort's resurrection.

Thinking this, Reina was about to go back from the library. After walking for a while, she saw Granger sitting on the grass not far away. She seemed to be still crying about what happened just now. In the end, she turned in another direction and walked towards her.

"If you become depressed and cry because of what others say, it will damage your image as a lady, Miss Granger." Lena also sat next to her.

Hermione looked up and saw that it was her. She wiped away her tears quickly, "You...you heard it..."

"I'm sorry, you were right there in the hallway and I just happened to hear you."

"Do you think he's right? He said no one can stand me, and I'm like a joke and I keep trying to get close to others."

"I once heard a saying that other people's words may determine your mood at the moment, but it is difficult to determine you at the moment."

Reina smiled at Hermione and said, "Just like, a wise man will not give up his plan just because you say he is foolish, and a warrior will not flee from the battlefield just because you say he is a coward. It is always you who makes the choice, isn't it? What you think is the most important. Even if no one in the world agrees with you, so what? Just do what you should do. What others think and say cannot change anything. Of course, if you think he has the magic of turning stones into gold and making his words come true, then just ignore what I said."

Hermione looked at Reina who was sitting in front of her, lowered her head and buried herself in her knees, muttering:

"How could there be such magic..."

You can't expect a heartbroken girl to figure everything out in a short time, and then respond to you with a carefree smile and say "I'm fine". Smart girls won't get stuck in a dead end and make things difficult for themselves. All they need is time to calm down.

Lena just sat with her quietly, reading the book in her hand, letting the wind snatch away the words on the book, leaving only the smell of ink. The setting sun on the side of the mountain turned with the sky, and as it moved down the mountain, only a few traces of afterglow remained, which were soon swallowed up by the deep purple.

Hermione finally cheered up. She took a long breath and looked at the girl who had been waiting for her for a long time. "You are right. Thank you for sitting with me for so long..."

"It's my honor to serve such a beautiful girl." Reina closed the book and stood up. "Let's go, Granger. Maybe we can catch the banquet now. This place is not close to the auditorium."

"Merlin! I've been sitting for so long! I'm so sorry, let's go." Hermione quickly got up and followed Reina towards the auditorium.

?

When the door of the auditorium was opened, bats were flying all over the ceiling and walls, dark clouds were floating at the top, occasionally with a few magical lightning bolts, pumpkin lanterns were everywhere, golden plates were filled with delicious food, and all kinds of candies were piled near the plates. The festive atmosphere was very strong.

However, the person who came in did not bring good news.

"The troll—in the basement—thought you ought to know."

Professor Quirrell rushed in, looking disheveled and terrified. He left a few words and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

"... "

"... "

"what!!!"

Someone screamed, breaking the silence. The hall was in chaos, and all the children stood up. Dumbledore had to use the loudspeaker magic to calm everyone down.

"Prefect, take the students back to their dormitories immediately. Teachers, follow me to the basement."

Immediately after he finished speaking, some students started to move.

"First-year students, gather together and follow me closely!"

Then, everyone followed the main group and prepared to leave the auditorium while discussing the troll in low voices.

"I just remembered - Hermione!" Harry suddenly grabbed Ron's arm.

"What happened to her?"

"Petil said she wasn't in the dorm, we didn't see her all afternoon, and she didn't come to the dinner!"

"So what? She won't still be alive with the troll, will she come back!"

"She doesn't know about trolls. What if she encounters one on the road? Or maybe she has already... We must find her!"

Ron bit his lip as he thought about what happened this afternoon.

"Well, don't let Percy see it."

Two small figures quietly left the team through the crowded crowd...

?

"what!!"

"Armor protection!"

Damn it! Hermalena cursed inwardly. She only knew there was a giant monster, but how could it appear in the women's restroom? Merlin didn't know. He was just planning to take care of his physiological needs before the banquet, but when he came out, he ran into a giant monster that exuded a foul smell. How terrifying that scene was!

Hermione's scream successfully attracted the troll's attention. Seeing that the troll was coming over with a club, Reina quickly cast two Shield Charms on the two of them. Their way out was blocked, so they could only hide in the toilet. Without thinking too much, Reina pulled Hermione and ran back.

It would be easy to deal with her if she was alone, but the main thing was that Hermione was scared now. The toilet was so small, and the troll alone was almost touching the ceiling. If a fight broke out here, what if Hermione was accidentally hurt? Who knew if the troll would go crazy and start punching everywhere? She could only wait for it to come in first and stay away from the exit, then sneak out when it was least prepared and call the professors over. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no problem.

"Granger, calm down and listen to me. I will quietly attract its attention first, and then we will run to the door together. The troll is not very smart, we can definitely escape."

Hermione seemed to understand, took a few deep breaths, and nodded, "I'll listen to you, what are you going to do?"

Reina looked around, then took out her wand and pointed it at a faucet that had fallen on the ground, turning it into a large colorful feather. She then cast a levitation spell, letting it fly towards the troll's head. The troll was successfully attracted by the floating feather in front of it and was taken away from the door.

"Now, run!" Lena quickly pulled Hermione towards the exit, but just as she took a step...

With a "bang!", the door was slammed shut, and the "click" sound of the lock coming from the keyhole put an end to their perfect plan. Not only that, the giant's attention was drawn back, and he successfully looked at the two little people in front of him.

Thank you for the generous gift!!
