Chapter 13

In early October, Snape made the potion. With the help of volunteer Mr. Filch, various data on potions were collected by Solim and Snape and used as the basis for Snape's improvement of the potion. On Halloween, Snape gave Solim the third improved activation potion. In order to confirm the effect as soon as possible, Solim devaitfully skipped the herb class and flying class in the afternoon after taking the first transformation class. By the way, Solim hadn't taken a single flight lesson since the start of school - there were no exams in flying classes anyway. However, Harry did make his mark in flying lessons, where he was valued by Professor McGonagall and recommended to Wood.

About two corridors away from the Slytherin common room is a hidden room where Solim often practiced preparing potions. Today, it is used as a temporary laboratory to observe Filch.

"Argus, the first two times were very good, this is the third time, and the effect is only getting better. Solim took out the bottle that Snape had given him this morning, uncorked it and put it in front of Filch: "Come on, you know how to do it." "

The magic that had accumulated in Filch's body was like a boulder that completely blocked the entrance of the tunnel. For the first time, Snape made it like black powder, and the effect was not obvious. The second time it was like TNT, and the effect was there, but after drinking it, the pores on Filch himself began to bleed. If it weren't for Snape's presence at the time, Solim really didn't know what to do. But the second experiment was a breakthrough: Filch was able to wield a fraction of his magic. This also gave Snape and Solim another way of thinking about the problem: too strong potions would cause harm to the human body, and if it didn't work, it would be soft.

Solim is very optimistic about this potion, in his opinion, even if this time is not as effective as the second time, even if the progress is a little slower, but it is better to be safe.

Filch didn't say a word, and he took a sip of it, although the accident of the second experiment had a certain impact on his own body, but in exchange for the fact that he could use magic power. In Filch's eyes, he was willing to pay any price as long as he could use magic, as long as it could make him free from being a Squib and become a wizard.

"Why don't you just be afraid of any accidents this time?" After a few experiments, Solim and Filch were already familiar with each other, and they could even make some small jokes.

"You're not a squib, you won't know my mood. Filch sat in his chair in a proper manner, and after a few experiments he understood the rules.

Raising an eyebrow, Solim didn't speak. Indeed, he is not a squib. But wouldn't it be a Squib to understand Filch's mood right now?

Neither of them spoke again, Solim writing and drawing in his little notebook, while Filch closed his eyes and intently felt his body. This is also the norm, after all, this is the third time, and everyone knows what to do.

By the time Solim and Filch were satisfied enough to leave the room, the auditorium dinner was almost over. Solim and Filch walked towards the Great Hall, they hadn't eaten yet.

"Wait, Argus, do you smell anything?" Solim grabbed Filch, "This smell...... It's kind of like a mountain monster. "

Turning his head to look at Filch, Solim hurriedly asked, "There are no activities scheduled at the Halloween school tonight, right?" As soon as the words came out, Solim wanted to kick himself, and he forgot that there would be trolls on Halloween in the past few days. After all, Solim he ...... Well, there is no concept of Western festivals.

"Filch, it seems that something is really wrong, you hurry up to the auditorium to find the professor, and say that there are mountain monsters in the castle, the exact number is not clear. "

Waving his hand, Solim said quickly, "Leave me alone, mountain monster." I'm afraid that a junior student will be discovered, and that's bad. You're in a hurry. With that, he cast a bubble head spell on Filch and himself - the smell was so bad.

Solim didn't care about Filch, and ran to the girls' bathroom. Sure enough, a small mountain monster, attracted by the cries in the bathroom, was bending down to enter.

Solim's left hand flicked, and his wand quickly aimed at the troll: "Flock of birds!" A large flock of small birds flew out of the tip of the wand and headed straight for the troll. The troll was caught by the birds, and its feet were retracted as it stepped into the bathroom.

Probably annoyed by these little birds, the troll picked up the mallet in his hand and waved it wildly, but found that it had no effect, and the troll roared angrily. Hermione, in the bathroom, heard the movement outside and wiped her tears as she walked outside to see what was going on.

"Ahh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~h Not only the trolls, but even the mentally prepared Solim was startled by this voice.

"I'm dripping my mother~ This can be used as a spell. Solim still had time to complain at this time.

"Hermione, get inside!" Solim saw that the troll was attracted by Hermione's scream, and the flock of birds slowly walked away from the doorway and began to walk towards the bathroom again.

Unfortunately, Hermione was completely frightened, leaning her neck and watching the troll walk towards her step by step, but she didn't react.

Seeing that the troll had raised the stick in his hand, Solim hurriedly pushed the frightened little girl into an obstacle charm, and didn't dare to stop for a moment, Solim quickly ran towards the door, he was a little hasty with the obstacle spell just now, he wasn't sure how far Hermione was pushed out by the spell, if it was ...... Solim didn't dare to think about it.

Solim's heart was in his crotch as he ran into the bathroom—Hermione shivered in the corner as she watched the approaching troll, she forgot to use her innate female skill, screaming.

Solim slammed a shock spell into the back of the troll's head. The troll stopped, and it turned to see what had hit it. "Hermione, get out of the cubicle. Solim shouted at Hermione. Hermione finally reacted and hid in the cubicle without saying a word.

"Finally got the attention to me. Solim looked at the troll that was coming towards him step by step, the tip of his staff against the troll's eyebrows. "Then you can lie down honestly for me. "The troll was so close to Hermione just now, and he was afraid that the troll would crush Hermione when it fell.

"Flashing fire!".

The

top half of the troll's face and part of its head were burned in an instant, and after standing in place for about two seconds, the troll finally collapsed heavily on the floor of the bathroom. Hermione came to her senses and crawled behind Solim through the gap under the cubicle, and she witnessed all the footage of Solim killing the troll, and although she was still in shock, she was finally sober.

With a shake of his wand, Solim cast a cleansing charm on Hermione, who had just crawled around on the ground and was stained.

After Solim cleaned Hermione, he was about to pull her outside: "Although this is the women's restroom, I still want to ask, why are you here? You left the Halloween dinner early?"

Before Hermione could speak, there was a rush of footsteps in the hallway outside the door. Solim heard it, there were only two people, and it didn't seem to be the professors. When Harry and Ron appeared in the doorway, they found a mess in the women's bathroom, a troll lying on the ground, and Solim and Hermione standing sound, their mouths open to ask what was going on, and another sound of footsteps sounded in the hallway - but this time it sounded like a lot of people.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell followed the Savior duo in the doorway of the women's bathroom. Professor McGonagall scanned the mess of the bathroom with a grim face, Professor Snape walked in front of the troll without stopping, and Quirrell slid to the floor with the door frame, twitching from time to time.

"It's a little like that, it's kind of like that. Solim recognized Mr. Quirrell's acting skills.

"What the hell are you doing! Do you know what you're doing!" Professor McGonagall pondered, and of course erupted.

"Professor...... It's me, I knew about the troll from the book, I thought I knew it well," Hermione explained with her head down, "I ran to find the troll, I naively thought I could deal with it, but it turned out I was wrong. If it weren't for ......".

Hermione was interrupted by Solim before she could finish her sentence. Children, naively think that the nonsense they make up can deceive adults, but they don't know that these childish lies are often seen through by adults at a glance.

"Come on Hermione, who do you think you can fool with this nonsense?" Solim put his wand back away, since the two professors were here, Solim didn't think it was necessary to continue holding his wand. "A good lie should be carefully weaved, not a nonsense made up at the pat of the head. Let's be honest. "

"Mr. Selwyn, did you kill this troll?" Snape didn't care about the conversation of the men, but asked his own question, which was a question, but in an affirmative tone.

Solim nodded, "I did kill it, and it's more troublesome to subdue than to kill." And in Miss Granger's situation, I think killing is the safest move. "

"You know what I want to ask. Snape looked at Solim with a blank expression.

"Hey, okay, okay, it's a weakened fire spell. Solim shrugged, he didn't expect to hide it from anyone, the professors in the school were all human beings, and he could see the problem at a glance.

As soon as she heard that it was a fire charm, Professor McGonagall didn't bother about Hermione's affairs, and hurriedly walked over to teach her, "Mr. Selwyn, I thought you were an excellent and self-motivated student, how could you use such a dangerous magic spell as the Fire Charm!".

Snape tilted his head slightly, waiting for Solim's explanation.

"I said, it's not a fire spell, it's a simplified, weakened spell with a very short duration and a very small damage range. It will not cause significant property damage. Professor Snape, you've just seen it, and this spell is fist-sized in its area. Besides, my magic level is good, but I can't cast a fire spell at the age of eleven. Even if it is successfully released, it is absolutely impossible to extinguish it. Solim shouted, "Professor, you know that the general damage spell of an opponent like an adult mountain monster has little effect, and in order to control the development of the situation to the greatest extent, I can only choose to kill it." "

'Very good, Slytheringa 20 points. So......" Snape slowly put his gaze on Harry's face, "can any of you two tell me why you're here?"

"We're worried about Hermione, she didn't show up at dinner, so we have to ......."

"So you didn't inform the professor and ran to find the troll yourself?" Snape gave a sneering smile on his face, "maybe the famous savior thinks he can deal with a grown troll?" Snape then turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Are you okay, Minerva?".

What could Professor McGonagall say, how uncomfortable Gryffindor students were, she thought she knew, Hermione might have hidden it, but it was a brainstorm like Harry and Ron, and she wanted to kick them in the ass.

But what needs to be said still has to be said.

"These two children are in a hurry to save their classmates, which is understandable. For their bravery and responsibility, I think 10 points should be added, how about it, Severus?".

Snape glanced at Professor McGonagall, said nothing, and limped away.

Solim looked at "Lame Hao" Snape and thought about it, he should have been bitten by a dog. Don't go to him tonight to block people's homes, now Snape is depressed, he can't make a noise after being bitten by a dog, and he can't ask for compensation. If Solim goes to Snape tonight, it is estimated that Snape will not give him a good face.

"You'd better get back to your common room now, and stop getting into trouble. Professor McGonagall glared at each other, flicked her robe and left.

"You, you...... No, no, leave me alone, I, I'll take care of it. Quirrell got up from the ground and stumbled.

Solim glanced at Quirrell as he walked past him, "It's a pity. "

"Come on, Hermione, it's Thursday, Neville and Draco should be waiting for us at the old place. Solim walked out with Hermione, ignoring the Gryffindor two, "Can you tell me what's going on?

After hearing Hermione's story, Solim sneered and said to her, "So you put yourself in danger because of a jealous idiot? Remember what I told you about the dark arts? Jealousy is the most common emotion in the real dark arts. Have a snack, Hermione. "
