Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 13 The Threesome Must Be Stupid

Harry and Ron are the real Gryffindors, and the reckless impulse of the lion cub is fully reflected in them.

In many cases, both of them take it for granted when their heads are hot.

In contrast, although Hermione is also very impulsive, she can maintain reason most of the time, and she is very good at finding weird places from subtleties, so as to lock the target.

Although, under the influence of Harry and Ron, this goal always misses.

But when it came to the troll, Hermione was sure she had the right answer.

As Miss Know-It-All, who has always occupied the first place in the grade in the original book, Hermione is very sensitive about her grades, especially in the lower grades. Her strong personality and self-esteem make it difficult for her to accept that she is not as good as others.

Therefore, when a person who was better than herself in charm class, potion class, herbal class, and transfiguration appeared, Hermione's competitiveness was completely ignited.

Just like Hermione never thought of herself as a genius, there is still a certain gap compared with real geniuses such as Bill Weasley, the eldest son of the Weasley family.

After all, only in terms of grades, Hermione failed to achieve twelve OWLs certificates.

For a long time, Hermione used time and hard work to maintain her No.1 position in Gryffindor.

It can be said that if there is no Ike, Hermione will sit firmly on the throne of the first age as in the original timeline.

But now, she can only take second place.

It is also the first person Hermione met in the wizarding world. The relationship between the two has always been at the stage of more than acquaintances and less than friends. More often, they just regard each other as companions who read and study together in the library and rarely communicate with each other. .

And as a chaser, Hermione knew him better than Ike thought.

Suddenly, there was a sound of loud footsteps, and Professor McGonagall rushed in front of the three, with Snape and Quirrell following closely behind.Quirrell glanced at the troll, let out a feeble sob, and sat down against the wall, clutching his chest tightly.

Professor McGonagall was very angry, with a pale face and lips, and the right hand holding the wand was still shaking.

"What kind of tricks are you playing!" Professor McGonagall scolded, "This is a troll! A XXXX-level magical creature!"

"You were lucky not to be killed by it! Why didn't you stay in the dormitory honestly!"

"Professor McGonagall, I..." Harry swore, the current Professor McGonagall is ten thousand times more terrifying than the hateful Professor Snape, just as he was about to tell what happened just now, he heard a voice from the side.

"They're looking for me, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione, and heard Hermione say: "I saw the troll in the book and thought I could deal with it. If it wasn't for Harry and Ron, I think I must have died."

"They got me out of the toilet and Ron kept distracting the troll and Harry knocked it down with the troll's own stick and Ron made it up again."

"When they arrived, I was cornered by the trolls, and they had no time to find someone."

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and Ron, who were bewildered, and they nodded immediately, expressing that everything was as Hermione said.

"Oh... so that's the case." Professor McGonagall mused, "Miss Granger, Gryffindor has been deducted five points for your recklessness."

"Now, you should hurry back to Gryffindor Tower, the Halloween dinner has been sent to the various houses."

The three bowed to Professor McGonagall, and turned around to go back.

"Well...after all, very few first-year wizards can beat a grown troll, and you've earned five points for Gryffindor each. Also, I'll tell Professor Dumbledore about it, let's go. "

The three left in a hurry, and ran up the two sides of the building without saying a word, only then could they no longer smell the stench of the troll.

"Hermione, do you know who helped us?" Harry didn't mention the extra points, he didn't intend to expose Hermione's lies as an honest child.Being the smartest of the three, Hermione must have a reason for lying.

"I got it."

"So you're not going to tell us?" Ron muttered. "We'll keep it a secret, you know, we're the best at it."

Both Harry and Hermione looked at Ron with surprised eyes, full of disbelief.

Now who in Gryffindor doesn't know that Ron Weasley is a big trumpet, and if any secret is known to him, it only takes one night for everyone in Gryffindor to know.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." Ron's face was ashamed to the same color as his hair, "Go back quickly, I'm hungry."

With that said, he walked quickly towards the direction of Gryffindor Tower.

Harry and Hermione followed Ron, gradually being separated by a distance.Harry looked at Ron's back, and asked in a low voice, "Hermione, is that Ivan from Ravenclaw?"

"After much deliberation, the ability to easily defeat the giant monster has something to do with us, to be precise, with you, and he is the only one who can come and save us."

Hermione looked at Harry with some surprise. She didn't expect that Harry, who had always been reckless like Ron, had learned to think!
"Yes, I guess it's him too." Hermione nodded, Harry had already guessed it, and she had no reason to deny it for Ike.

"But just now, why didn't you say it?" Harry asked again.

"Harry." Hermione stopped and looked at Harry, "Did you see Ike just now?"

"No." Harry shook his head.

"There is a spell, called the Disillusionment Curse, which can make a person invisible." Hermione continued walking, "I know, Ike has been practicing this spell recently, but I don't know if he succeeded, after all, it's just like that. It’s something you don’t start learning until seventh grade.”

"Obviously, he succeeded." Harry shrugged. He had no idea of ​​the difficulty of the Disillusionment Charm, so he couldn't understand the shock and helplessness in Hermione's tone.

"Obviously." Hermione nodded, "Using the Disillusionment Charm to hide himself, and then leaving directly after saving us, he obviously has his own ideas."

"Harry, we can't tell Ike's secret, especially since he just saved us."

"Okay, you've convinced me, you can trust me to keep the secret." Harry tilted his head to look at Hermione, patted his chest, "I won't tell Ron."

"This is the best." Hermione tossed her hair, and ran towards the Gryffindor Tower without waiting for Harry.

In front of the portrait of the fat lady, the door has been opened, and Ron is leaning against the door to argue with the fat lady.

"Trust me, they're right behind and coming soon!"

"Red-haired boy, get out of the way, 3 minutes have passed, I want to close the door!"

"No, no, please believe me, I really just need to wait a little longer..." Ron suddenly heard footsteps, followed the sound and quickly shouted, "Harry! Hermione! Hurry up! The Fat Lady is closing!"

The two hurriedly quickened their pace and ran into the archway with Ron.

"We know the password, Ron," said Harry breathlessly.

"Damn it!" Ron obviously just realized it, and patted his head angrily.

"I forgot!"
