HP Star Shining

The auditorium suddenly became chaotic.

Professor Dumbledore had to use his wand to emit purple fireworks to quiet everyone down, and then asked the prefects to take the students back to their respective lounges.

"How did the troll get in here?" Harry whispered.

"I don't know. Trolls are supposed to be pretty dumb. It could be a prank, maybe Peeves."

Harry suddenly realized something and grabbed Ron's arm.

"what happened?"

"Star and Hermione are still in the girls' bathroom. They don't know about the troll!"

After saying that, Harry suddenly ran towards the women's room.

As they were almost in the corridor, Harry and Ron smelled a foul stench and heard the sound of huge feet dragging on the ground.

The two men quickly shrank into the darkness, and saw an ugly giant dragging a huge wooden stick towards them.

The trolls are coming out of the dungeon!

"Oh no! It's heading towards the women's room!" Just as Harry and Ron finished speaking, they heard a scream that frightened them both.

Su Xingchen finally waited for Hermione to come out, but when she turned around, she saw something no less terrifying than the three-headed dog. Or rather, even more terrifying, it froze her in place, unable to move.

The troll's huge and bulky body was covered in mud, with a pitifully small head, rough and gray skin, thick and short feet, but very long hands, and he was dragging a thick wooden stick in his hands.

Most importantly, it stinks disgustingly.

Hermione just stepped out of the compartment and screamed when she saw the scene at the door.

The trolls, attracted by her voice, advanced towards them, breaking the pools of water along the wall.

When Harry and Ron rushed in, Hermione huddled against the wall, while Su Xingchen stood there woodenly.

"Xingchen, run!" Harry shouted as he picked up the faucet on the ground and threw it at the troll.

The troll stopped a few steps away from Su Xingchen, turned around awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, raised the wooden stick in his hand and walked towards Harry.

"Hey, big idiot!" Ron stood on the other side and threw a piece of metal at the troll.

The troll was attracted by Ron again, and Harry took the opportunity to go around behind it, jumped forward suddenly, and hugged the troll's neck from behind. When he jumped, the wand in his hand accidentally stuck into the troll's nose.

The troll roared in pain, twisting around, swinging his club.

Harry grabbed the troll's ears tightly to prevent himself from falling, but the troll's arms were long, and it still managed to grab one of his legs and lift him upside down, and was about to swing the wooden stick at Harry.

This scene finally brought Su Xingchen back to his senses. He immediately took out his wand and chanted the levitation spell he had just learned today.

The club flew from the troll's hand, floated high above its head, and then fell down and hit his master on the head.

The troll swayed and fell face down with a loud thud.

Harry climbed to his feet, shaking and breathless.

"Is it dead?" Hermione clutched her chest.

"I don't think so. He probably just fainted." Harry bent down and pulled his wand out of the troll's nose.

It was covered with large clumps of gray binding material.

"Troll snot." Ron laughed.

Harry wiped his wand on the troll's trousers.

"Are you okay? Xingchen." He walked up to Su Xingchen and asked.

Su Xingchen's face was pale and he was still frightened.

"I'm fine, thank you Harry, and Ron..."

Although I know this is the plot and they will come to save Hermione even without me, the feeling is really different when I experience it and face it personally.

Su Xingchen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Professor McGonagall rushed in, followed by Professors Snape and Quirrell.

"Oh my God." McGonagall was angrier than ever before, his lips turning pale. "What the hell are you doing? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, it's all because of me. They came looking for me." Hermione struggled to stand up.

"Miss Granger?"

"I came looking for the troll. I know it well and I thought I could deal with it..."

Hearing Hermione say this, Harry and Ron looked at each other in disbelief.

"If Harry, Ron and Star hadn't come to my rescue, I would have died."

"If that's the case..." Professor McGonagall looked around at the group, "Your behavior is truly foolish! I thought you were a very sensible person, Miss Granger. I'm very disappointed in you."

Hermione hung her head.

Harry and Ron were speechless. It was unbelievable that Hermione Granger, who had always been the last person to break the school rules, was lying to help them out of trouble.

"Five points from Gryffindor. If you are not injured, please return to the Gryffindor common room immediately."

"As for you..." After Hermione left, Professor McGonagall looked at the remaining three people, "I can only say that you are extremely lucky. There are almost no first-year students who can subdue an adult troll. Each of you has won 5 points for Gryffindor. Now, you can go back."

The common room was packed with people, and Hermione was waiting at the door.

Seeing them come back, I felt a little embarrassed and lowered my head and said "thank you".

Sometimes friendships come in strange ways, like sharing a journey to fight trolls.

It was from this time on that Hermione and the two boys became good friends.

Harry noticed that Su Xingchen had been in a bad mood since the troll incident, and he thought she was frightened.

In fact, Su Xingchen was very depressed. He felt that he was useless and could not even compare to a few eleven-year-old children. He was only a drag.

When the troll rushed over that day, she was so scared that she couldn't even lift her feet. If Harry and Ron had come a little later, she might have really died...

This made her feel ashamed.

These days, Harry clearly felt Su Xingchen's alienation from him. Although she had spent most of her time with Hermione and he was with Ron after arriving at Hogwarts, the situation was obviously not right now.

Su Xingchen seemed to be avoiding him.

When Harry caught Su Xingchen doing homework alone, he sent Ron away and sat down next to her with a little uneasiness.

"Xingchen, did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

"No, you're fine."

"So what about you? I mean, you treat me... I feel..." Harry didn't know how to express his feelings.

Su Xingchen understood what Harry meant and scratched the homework paper in his hand. "It has nothing to do with you. I feel terrible about myself."

With her head lowered, Su Xingchen's long black hair covered her face. Harry, who was sitting next to her, could only see her small chin and half of her bright red lips.

"That night, I was really scared by the troll. If you hadn't come..."

"If we encounter danger again next time, I think... I might drag you down."

After all, she wasn't in the original plot, and Harry had always done a good job.

All three of them are very brave and fearless of danger, but with such a useless person like her holding them back, things may not be the same.

Su Xingchen felt that she might not be suitable to be a wizard, nor a monk who could change her fate.

She is really just an ordinary person.

She didn't have any lofty ambitions, nor did she have a tenacious fighting spirit. She seemed to have always longed for ordinary little happiness...

This was the first time Harry saw Su Xingchen so depressed. Although they had not known each other for long, she always gave people a warm and sunny feeling.

There seemed to be stars in her eyes. When she smiled, the light in her eyes could melt the ice and snow and the haze, and could heal anyone. For example, him.

Almost no one in Gryffindor dislikes Su Xingchen. Boys and girls all like to be around her, even the bad-tempered Hermione and the annoying Malfoy.

Now the light in those eyes was replaced by darkness.

Harry held Su Xingchen's hand that was unconsciously picking at the paper. "Why do you think so? Xingchen, you are very good. Although you were scared, you saved me at the critical moment. Do you remember the levitation spell?"

"But even without me, Ron and Hermione would have saved you."

Who saved Harry in the movie by using the Levitation Charm? It seemed to be Ron.

"Yes, they will. But now that person is you."

"You're excellent. You're the first person to learn the Levitation Charm. I don't think you'll be a burden to us at all. You're very kind. If you hadn't been with Hermione all the time, you wouldn't have met the troll. You're gentle and good-tempered. Everyone likes you. Haven't you noticed?"

Su Xingchen looked up in confusion. Am I that good?

The so-called gentleness and good temper are because I feel that I can't argue with children...

"It doesn't matter if you're not excellent, we still like you because you're a star, the star we like. The two happiest things in my life are coming to Hogwarts and becoming your good friend."

"So, don't worry about things that haven't happened yet, okay?"

Harry looked so sincere that Su Xingchen blushed.

Young man, you are so good at talking that it makes me feel like I am extraordinary, okay?

It seems that I am still too hypocritical. I don’t know if it’s because I have always been loved by the Su family, or because I am now surrounded by a bunch of children all day long, but Su Xingchen feels that he seems to be getting more and more childish. Now he needs a child to comfort and enlighten him. He is really going backwards.

"Thank you, Harry."

When Harry saw that Su Xingchen's eyes were bright again, he immediately relaxed. He was really afraid that Su Xingchen would keep avoiding him and would not want to be friends with him anymore.

He couldn't even think about such a thing.

"Harry, you two!" Ron, who was sent away, returned to the lounge and saw his good friend holding the goddess' hand, both of them with red faces.

The sky is falling...

Harry hurriedly withdrew his hand, and Su Xingchen was also embarrassed. Although there was nothing wrong between the two of them, looking at Ron's expression, she always had a strange illusion.

At bedtime, in the boys' dormitory, Harry explained everything to Ron.

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true." Ron scratched his chin, then patted Harry on the shoulder twice. "You are really careful, Harry. So, Xingchen is fine now?"

Harry took off his glasses and placed them on the bedside, "Yeah, it's okay."
