Chapter 57 Hermione: Rove, who is more vicious between me and Shirley?
Ron and administrator Filch were attacked by unknown creatures.
This news was circulated in the school the next day. After hearing about this incident, many students' first reaction was hesitation...
Are you sure Lockhart wasn't attacked by an unknown creature?
He was hospitalized three times within a week, but he was not injured this time. To be honest... the little wizards didn't really agree with this result, and were even a little disappointed.
Especially after the market opened, the students who were about to be hospitalized for the fourth time in a week all wanted to secretly give him a brick.
Ron and Filch were not seriously injured. After being hit hard, apart from some concussions, they were more seriously frightened... frightened by the monster that night.
But being attacked was not without its benefits. After being discharged from the hospital, Ron was suddenly surprised to find that... he had changed from a person's name to a celebrity!
Wherever he went, students were pointing at him.
This feeling of being surrounded by stars made Ron very happy and even a little intoxicated. After all, this kind of special treatment was reserved for Harry in the past.
Ron's legs no longer hurt, his waist was no longer sore, and his brain was no longer concussed. He began to tell the onlookers what happened that night anytime and anywhere.
At first, what Ron told Dumbledore was roughly the same as what he said to Dumbledore that night:
After a monster knocked him and Filch unconscious, he was hung on the statue, but he couldn't see each other clearly.
But as hundreds of millions of details were added, the version began to change. A few days later, Ron told a thrilling story of the attack:
He fought a monster with his bare hands, heroically protected the trophy display room from being destroyed, and protected Filch from being killed!
The size of the monster is also growing:
It went from being a person tall at the beginning to several meters tall, and in the latest version, it is almost the same size as an adult fire dragon... as if the monster can grow and shrink on its own.
Lockhart also became enthusiastic, often taking a quill pen to write down Ron's stories, patiently asking for details and whether he had seen the monster clearly.
Lockhart also announced on the spot that he would include this story in his novel.
He also gave Ron some small suggestions and helped him improve many loopholes in the story.
Ron's evaluation of Lockhart suddenly rose a lot, from disgust to admiration, and he seemed to want to write novels with him.
Compared to Ron's showing off, Filch felt greatly embarrassed. He walked around the trophy room every day carrying a bracelet and whip, trying to catch the abominable monster.
The castle was also searched several times, and the professors tried to find the mysterious creature, but found nothing.
Rolf became the object of suspicion. After all, he had a box full of magical creatures. He was also wandering out that night, and he looked very suspicious.
At least Snape thought so, and he also proposed to confiscate Rove's box and give it to him for inspection.
Only to be ruthlessly rejected by Dumbledore.
In fact, even Luo Fe himself was a little unconfident, wondering if the magical creature in his box had escaped.
After all, this is a traditional family skill, and Newt has done this before.
Rove was going to check the box thoroughly, not missing any corner.
…
…
As time goes by, the students' enthusiasm has not decreased, but has become higher and higher.
Each of them becomes Sherlock Holmes and wanders around the school looking for mysterious creatures.
That day, on the way to the Charms classroom, Rolf, Hermione and Neville discovered that the corridor of the prize display room was blocked.
As the first scene of the crime, of course this place will not be left alone, as it seems to have become a place for internet celebrities to check in!
Hermione stood on tiptoes, looked at the jammed queue, and said irritably: "It's so crazy, don't you even go to class?!"
"Everyone is spreading the word that as long as you catch that animal, you may win the special contribution award to the school." Neville said softly.
"This award is nothing special." Luo Fu said in a leisurely voice.
Hermione glanced at Rolf, "Of course you said so after you took it!"
At this moment, a tall wizard squeezed out of the crowd. He was wearing a black robe and had a shining silver letter "p" on his chest.
"What are you all doing here? I am the prefect! I order you to disperse immediately. Professor McGonagall has an order not to watch here, it is very dangerous!
If you don’t leave, I will deduct points!”
Percy emphasized his status as "prefect" again and gently wiped the badge on his chest as if it was the Order of Merlin.
When they heard that points would be deducted, the little wizards immediately dispersed and the road soon became clear.
After Percy drove away the students, he stood at the door and looked curiously for a while, then hurriedly left.
"Everyone wants to catch that mysterious creature, even the prefects." Hermione shook her head and said, "After all, it is the Special Contribution Award to the school, the highest honor a student can get."
"Hermione, do you want it too?" Rolf turned to look at the girl.
"I don't want to!" Hermione snorted lightly, pursed her lips and said:
"Don't even try to catch that magical creature. We don't know what it is yet. It must be very dangerous to destroy the prize display room like that!"
Hermione stared at Rolf and said seriously: "Don't go out alone at night anymore. What if you are attacked too?!"
Luofu was stunned. He looked at the serious-looking girl, and her sense of oppression was very much like that of Professor McGonagall.
The action of pursed lips is even more similar. No wonder Professor McGonagall is called...little Hermione.
"Hermione, I really don't go out at night!" Rolf said with innocent eyes: "That night, I went to help Neville and Hannah clean the classroom..."
"That's right, Hermione...don't blame Rolf, he really didn't go on a night trip..." Neville was so frightened that he quickly explained.
"I didn't say anything...why are you so nervous?"
Hermione's frowned eyebrows were gently relieved, her lips were no longer so tight, and she seemed to be smiling.
"So, you didn't see the magical creature clearly?"
"Really not." Luo Fu shook his head and said, "When I arrived, the prize display room was already in a mess."
"But one thing is strange." The young man said slowly: "Filch said that he was not unconscious immediately before he was knocked down, but when he looked up, he did not see the guy's figure.
Ron also said that the thing was standing behind him with a huge shadow, but when he turned around, it suddenly disappeared."
"Maybe it's invisible? Is it a creature like an invisible beast?" Hermione guessed: "Or is it very fast?"
"It's possible." Luofu frowned.
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore." Hermione thought for a while and suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Rolf, was I very mean just now? Tell me the truth, I won't be angry."
Luo Fu was not a fool. If he told the truth now, nothing might happen, but he would definitely be retaliated against in the future. He quickly shook his head and said, "It's not cruel."
Hermione gently kicked a stone behind her hands. The girl looked at Rolf and asked in a very casual tone:
"What about me and Shirley? Who is more fierce?"
"..."
Neville stood in the corner. He looked at Rolf, suddenly covered his stomach and said:
