From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

"Pig nose." Hermione left the crime scene and returned to the portrait of the Fat Lady, whispering today's password.

As the portrait rotated to make way for the entrance, the festive atmosphere in the common room immediately surrounded Hermione.

Students holding butter beer were everywhere. They wore all kinds of strange hats and held plates to talk and laugh loudly between the sofa and the fireplace. There were all kinds of pumpkin pies, small cakes, jams and chocolate sauces on the table.

Thinking about everything that happened today, Hermione couldn't help but feel very hungry.

"Hermione..."

Just as she was about to join the crowd and have a good meal, a voice came from behind. It was Ron, and Harry was standing beside him with an uneasy look.

"I'm sorry." Ron apologized softly, "I shouldn't have spoken to you like that... I mean, are you okay?"

"Because you didn't come to the dinner. When Professor Quirrell broke in and said there was a troll in the basement, everyone was scared." Harry added, "We wanted to go find you, but when we ran out of the team, we were caught by Percy."

"So... he took us to see Professor McGonagall." Ron didn't dare to look Hermione in the eye, as if telling the teacher was a big mistake.

"You didn't run into a troll, did you? Hermione?" Harry asked at last.

Hermione didn't know how to answer this question. Should she tell them that she had pasted a 12-foot troll on the wall?

"You... didn't get deducted points by Professor McGonagall?" Hermione thought for a long time and only asked this question.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, completely confused about what Hermione's brain was like.

"Of course not! Miss Know-it-all!" Fred and George came out from nowhere, they surrounded Hermione and answered the question for their little brother.

"Miss Know-It-All?" Hermione had a bad feeling. "Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's Hermione Granger who blew up a mountain of trolls with just one spell!" George and Fred grabbed Hermione's arms and lifted her up, and began to run around the Gryffindor common room.

"Gryffindor! Gryffindor!" Fred sang happily.

"Come and meet your king!" George followed up the harmony.

"One spell can destroy the entire corridor!" The two sang in unison, their voices like two bald crows.

"A mountain of trolls!"

"And twelve sets of metal armor!"

"Put me down!" Hermione screamed.

Fred and George were very obedient and stuffed Hermione into the largest and most comfortable chair in the common room. Percy was sitting on it before, and the two brothers pulled him up without hesitation.

"Bang!" Lee Jordan pulled open a bunch of fireworks for fun, and golden paper fell on Hermione's hair.

Fred or George found a crown from somewhere, which looked like some kind of gold foil chocolate, and then placed it neatly on Hermione's messy hair.

The remaining Weasley made her a sword with chocolate, and knelt on one knee in front of Hermione's throne, as if he was performing a coronation ceremony.

"Are you talking about true?" Angelina asked, "Hermione killed the troll with a spell?"

"Of course!" The voice of the Weasley who put the crown on her sounded very aggrieved, "We heard Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick discussing on the stairs-"

"'I can't believe what I saw. Filius.'" Weasley, holding the chocolate sword, imitated with a pinched throat.

"'Is there really a troll in the dungeon classroom?'" The Weasley standing behind the chair said in a sharper voice than him.

"'It really exists, but not in the basement, but in the corridor on the third floor.'" Weasley stuffed the sticky chocolate sword into Hermione's hand.

"'Oh... it must have been a mess there.'" Weasley, who imitated Professor Flitwick, showed a regretful expression.

"'It's worse than you think. Our Miss Granger used a spell she learned from somewhere to merge the troll with the wall of the corridor. When I saw that scene, I didn't know whether to be angry or surprised.'" Weasley, who imitated Professor McGonagall, pushed his non-existent air glasses.

"'Which Miss Granger?'" Weasley, who imitated Professor Flitwick, reproduced his surprise very appropriately.

"'It's the one you are thinking of now. Fortunately, Albus also arrived, otherwise I really don't know where to start to restore that corridor.'" Weasley, who imitated Professor McGonagall, ended his speech.

"Oh--" Everyone in the Gryffindor common room exclaimed together. Hermione blushed in embarrassment.

"Now! Gryffindors!" The Weasley brothers shouted in a solemn voice, "Let's welcome Miss Know-It-All with your applause!"

No mistake!

"It's the Queen of Know-It-All!" The two Weasleys had a disagreement, but they soon agreed on the title of "Queen".

The Gryffindor common room was in a long-lasting excitement. Many people came to ask Hermione what the troll looked like, some wanted to know what the spell Hermione used to paste the troll on the wall was, but more people were talking and laughing loudly to celebrate this great moment.

Hermione was overwhelmed by all kinds of questions, and she didn't know which one to answer first.

But soon, Hermione didn't have to worry about it. Because Hermione heard someone whisper: "Professor McGonagall!"

Silence was like a plague, and it instantly infected everyone who was still in the common room.

Professor McGonagall stood in her dark green robe, as if standing in the shadow of the students' hearts. Facing her serious and serious expression, no one dared to speak loudly, not even the Weasley brothers.

Hermione felt Professor McGonagall's eyes sweeping over her head several times, so she quickly took off the chocolate crown wrapped in gold foil, and quickly took off the small golden paper hanging on her hair.

"Keep the crown, Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said, "Today is Halloween Eve. I won't punish any of you, but remember, once the lights are turned off, you must go to bed quickly, otherwise you have to be careful."

Professor McGonagall was explaining what to be careful of, but everyone knew it tacitly. They looked at each other, and didn't expect that Professor McGonagall, who was always serious, would say such a thing.

"We love you! Professor McGonagall." One of the Weasley brothers shouted loudly. Then, everyone saw the faint smile on Professor McGonagall's lips.

"Tell your mother when you get home, Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall said, "It's a pity that I have already written to her about you removing the toilet seat in the bathroom, otherwise I might let you go."

"Oh - no!" Amid the wailing of the Weasley brothers, Professor McGonagall turned and left the Gryffindor common room.
