Tom was blocked by Padma on his way back to the dormitory. The cute girl was holding a cup of hot milk tea. You have no room to refuse, so Tom expressed his gratitude again and again. This is what he should do.
, while picking up the cup.
The milk tea in the cup was steaming and the fragrance of milk overflowed. It seemed that this milk tea lived up to its reputation, but Tom always had a bad feeling. He couldn't figure out the reason for a while. But Padma was looking at it expectantly.
He, he could only take a sip of the caramel-colored milk tea in the cup. Needless to say, it tasted really good!
"Wow, it tastes really good!" Tom praised, and then drank all the tea in the cup. When the tea cup reached the bottom, he also found the reason for his uneasiness: Today seems to be Halloween? It seems like there will be chaos in the castle.
Enter a troll? Then as long as you keep an eye on Hermione and don't let her be alone, there will be no problem. After Tom figured out this joint, his suspicion disappeared, and he left after chatting with Padma for a few words.
In the afternoon, Ravenclaw had another lesson on Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, and then it was the Halloween dinner that everyone was looking forward to. However, when Tom walked out of the Transfiguration classroom, his face looked a little strange. He said to Hermione next to him:
"You go to the auditorium first, and I'll go to the toilet."
Hermione didn't take it to heart, and the colorful Halloween decorations in the auditorium caught her eye, making her temporarily put Tom in the back of her mind.
The staff of Hogwarts put a lot of thought into Halloween. They decorated the entire auditorium as much as possible with Halloween features: thousands of bats flying on the walls and ceiling, and thousands of bats flying around.
Low dark clouds circled and danced above the dining table, and the gusts of wind they brought up caused the candle flames in the pumpkin lanterns to flicker. The candles in the entire auditorium were enchanted, and the candle flames turned blue. Only
The jack-o-lantern is an exception. The armor in the castle has also been enchanted by Professor McGonagall. When passers-by pass by, they will randomly emit eerie howls.
And why is there so little Peeves in this kind of festival? He either hides in the lantern and waits for the little wizards to suddenly pop out of it to scare them when they pass by, or he controls the armor and makes one side of the armor emit an intrusive howl.
While rushing towards passers-by. Of course, the worst time was when it extinguished all the candles in the classroom and locked a lone student in the classroom. She hid beside him, playing tricks on him and waiting for his friends.
When we found him, the unlucky guy was already stunned.
The dishes at the Halloween dinner were quite sumptuous, and they appeared and disappeared suddenly as always. Hermione was watching and eating with gusto, but when she was halfway through the banquet, she waited around and didn't see Tom's.
When the figure appeared, she was a little panicked.
"It looks like he's not just having a stomachache," Hermione thought, "I'd better pack him some food." Just as Hermione was trying to put a piece of barbecue steak in a piece of bread, Professor Quirrell looked horrified.
Rushing into the dining room, his turban was crooked and his face was pale. He stumbled to Dumbledore's chair and stammered: "Troll, in the underground classroom - I thought you knew -" After conveying
After hearing the news, he rolled his eyes and passed out.
The entire auditorium was in an uproar, but Professor Dumbledore quickly controlled the situation. He ordered the prefects to bring the students from their respective houses back to the lounge. Then he and the professors split up to find the troll and drive it away - or kill it.
die.
The prefects all looked very experienced. They gathered the students from their own colleges in an orderly manner. Each prefect was responsible for a grade and left the auditorium one by one.
Until the team set off, Hermione did not see Tom's shadow. She squeezed to the front of the team and said to the prefect in charge of them: "Senior! Tom is missing, he may be in the toilet!"
The prefect frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I will take you to the lounge now, and then I will find a way to notify Professor Flitwick."
At this time, the prefect cannot stop and wait for Tom, nor can he leave these little wizards to find the professor, nor can he line up people to contact the professor. There are people everywhere now. If they are scattered, they will not be collected again.
He won't come back. At this time, it would be great if he knew Professor Flitwick's paper crane magic, but unfortunately this prefect doesn't. He could only rush to the dormitory, and then planned to settle down his junior students.
Then go out and find the professor.
Hermione's face turned pale after hearing such an answer. She slowed down her pace in a daze, allowing her classmates to pass her one by one. She was entangled in her heart: either abandon Tom at this time, or go and go in violation of discipline.
Find Tom.
In Hermione's heart, it can be said that heaven and man are at war now. A voice told her: The castle is so big, Tom may not meet the troll, not to mention that she has no evidence that he was in the toilet, maybe he had an upset stomach.
So back to the dormitory? Moreover, Professor Flitwick will definitely be very angry if he leaves the team at this time? Professor Dumbledore emphasized that students must follow their prefects back to the lounge. He violated the rules at this time
According to school rules, she might be expelled, right? Thinking of being expelled, Hermione trembled, took a few steps quickly, and followed the team.
but……
There was no one in the corridor on the first floor. Because the candles turned into blue flames, it looked extremely eerie. This scene would not be out of place in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 30 years later. Hermione didn't know why she appeared.
here.
She had obviously decided to go back to the lounge, but her feet still unconsciously brought her to the first floor, as if she was repaying Tom's favor on the first day of school, she thought in her heart.
Hermione looked at the blue light around her and her long shadow on the wall, shuddered, and couldn't help but quicken her pace. She rushed into the boys' bathroom on the first floor. It was dark and quiet inside, except for drops of water.
Sound in the pool.
There was no one inside.
Hermione shouted tremblingly: "Tom! Are you there? Where are you? There is a troll in the castle. Professor Dumbledore asked us to go back to the dormitory!"
No one answered, only her own reply.
At this moment, Hermione felt that she was really stupid, but she was a little relieved. She ran upstairs quickly with all her strength - since Tom was not in the toilet closest to the Transfiguration classroom, he must have gone back to the dormitory.
She ran very fast, from the first floor to the second floor, and then at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, a figure appeared in front of her. Hermione didn't stop the car, and hit him with a bang, and both of them fell to the ground.
