Chapter 16 Hermione and the Troll

When he hurried downstairs again, he saw Quirrell who was stumbling towards the restaurant. He ran up the stairs leading to the basement, and then disappeared around the corner at an extremely fast speed. He didn't seem to see Maca on the stairs on the second floor.

Salute to the movie king's spirit. Maca saluted with his upper body straightened while running, without stopping, and quickly ran into the basement corridor.

As soon as he got there, he smelled a combination of stinky socks that hadn't been washed in two months and an old toilet.

This smell is mixed with the smell of pumpkins all over the castle. It's really terrible.

Maca looked up and saw the giant monster in the corridor, but the other party didn't seem to notice him.

Dizzy! Maca drew out his wand and hit it for a while.

boom!

The troll fell in response, but Maca was stunned for a moment—he remembered that the book said that the troll's resistance to magic is still good, so it wouldn't be so dizzy, right?

Just as Maca was thinking, the troll struggled to get up again. It seems that Maca remembered correctly, the anti-magic skin of this thing can be regarded as a major characteristic inherited from giants.

Immediately afterwards, Maca saw the second major characteristic of the troll - poor brain.

I saw it looking left and right, probably because the corridor in the basement was too dark, and it didn't even find the enemy attacking him. Instead, as if it heard something, it used its strange strength to forcefully squeeze in through the door next to it.

Immediately, Maca heard a shrill, terrified scream.

IQ is lower than I imagined. It seems that the book Monsters and Their Origins will be revised, and the statements in it are too vague. Maca ran there quickly while complaining.

Hermione!

Arriving at the door, Maca immediately saw Hermione huddled under the sink, shivering as she watched the angry troll!

The troll obviously didn't notice that there was another person behind him. It was approaching Hermione with big strides, and the big wooden club in its hand was about to hit Hermione's body. The situation at the scene was obviously extremely critical, and it was obviously too late for the floating spell.

Flying sand and flying rocks! In a hurry, Maca barely aimed at the wooden stick in his hand and cast a flying spell.

The big wooden stick slipped out of the troll's hand, almost grazing Hermione's hair and flew over. After bouncing at the corner of the wall, it landed in the toilet cubicle, knocking down a large part of the partition.

Bones to pieces!

While the troll was still in a daze because the stick was out of his hands, Maca aimed at the back of the troll's neck, and gave a ruthless blow with all his strength.

There was only a bang sound, and a bowl-sized gap appeared behind the giant monster's neck, and there was a piece of blood inside, and the shattered cervical spine could still be seen vaguely.

The gigantic body of the giant swayed, and then fell to the ground with a bang, its body even twitched a few times.

Phew— Maca couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he saw this, If it was hit elsewhere, it would probably be a matter of missing a piece of meat. No wonder this big guy is known for his rough skin and thick flesh!

Hmm... Maca! Hermione looked terrified, and threw herself into Maca's arms.

He felt Xiangyu's beauty, but he was muttering in his mind: This little girl, what grade did she start to develop?

Ahem, it's okay, it's okay already. Feeling the girl in his arms trembling, he had to temporarily suppress the cranky thoughts in his heart, and spoke to comfort him.

Speaking of which, Maca didn't have any special feelings for this know-it-all lady, even when she grew up. But who would refuse a heroine who offered to throw herself into her arms? Although there is a reason for the incident at the moment, it also makes Maca feel a little smug.

In order to calm down the turmoil, Maca began to mutter something in a low voice, and could vaguely hear inexplicable words such as three years and death penalty.

Suddenly there was a sound of loud footsteps, and the two people huddled together raised their heads. Hermione froze for a moment, and quickly pushed Maca's chest hard, keeping herself as far away as possible.

It was obvious that the commotion just now was too loud, and someone was attracted by the violent collision and roar of the troll.

Hermione! Maca?

It was Ron and Harry who came, looking at everything here in amazement, not noticing Hermione's flushed face.

But before they could say anything else, Professor McGonagall rushed into the bathroom, followed by Snape, Quirrell was last. Quirrell just glanced at the troll, let out a feeble sob, and sat on a toilet bowl, clutching his chest tightly.

Snape walked over to look at the troll. Professor McGonagall looked at the few people present. Her lips were pale and her eyes were wide open. She was obviously in a very angry state.

What the hell are you up to? said Professor McGonagall, with cold anger in his voice.

Harry and Ron glanced at Maca, who was standing there still with his wand in his hand.

Fortunately, you weren't killed by it! Why didn't you just stay in the dormitory? Professor McGonagall reprimanded loudly, and Maca secretly thought that he was the dean of Gryffindor. Lions are exactly the same.

Oh... Please don't do this, Professor McGonagall...he's looking for me.

Maca was about to speak when Hermione interrupted her.

Miss Granger! Professor McGonagall said a little surprised. In her impression, Hermione Granger was a good student who obeyed the school rules extremely.

Hermione finally supported her limp knee and struggled to stand up.

I came for the troll because I... thought I could handle it alone—you know, because I've read about them and know them well.

Oh, Hermione, you don't need to do this. Maca shook his head, he had already gotten up just now.

Professor, I heard on the way to the restaurant that Miss Granger is in the bathroom. Maca explained, Because she encountered something and was in a bad mood, so she didn't go to the restaurant all this time.

I just wanted to come here to comfort her, you know, she is my friend. Maca spread out her hands, her face full of innocence, But who knew there would be a troll running rampant in Hogwarts?

I think this should be investigated. Maca glanced at Rocky meaningfully, but Rocky was sobbing loudly while covering his face, continuing his actor-level performance!

Oh—if that's the case... Professor McGonagall stared at them and pondered.

Mr. McLean, you blasted the troll's neck with the Shattering Curse, didn't you? Snape gave Harry a cold look, and then looked at Maca.

Maca immediately shouted in his heart that something was wrong, but on the surface he nodded with his expression unchanged.

I think so.

Hmph, not bad power, but can you explain, where did you learn it? Snape stared at Maca sullenly and said, I don't think there will be 'curses' in the first grade textbooks A spell?

Professor McGonagall looked back at the troll's wound, which was still gushing blood until now!

...I taught myself. Maca had to tell the truth.

The scene just now was too urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it so much, he just subconsciously picked a suitable spell. At this point, he can only be thankful that he is still far from mastering the Unforgivable Curse! Otherwise, if he accidentally threw a green light up just now, he might have to go to Azkaban to deal with the dementors.

My God! You have to know, you are only in the first grade!

Professor McGonagall seemed to have come to her senses at this moment. She rushed over and turned Maca around to look at it. It seemed that she cared more about the physical condition of her students than the spells.

... Maca.

Hermione looked at Maca worriedly, she clearly classified the spells. Curse spells are all black magic without exception, which requires strong negative emotions to be successfully released. Even the three major unforgivable curses are all in this category!

It's just that it's different from other curses. The reason why the Unforgivable Curse is unforgivable is precisely because the Killing Curse and Cruciatus Curse have no corresponding anti-curse; while the Imperius Curse is because of its extremely disruptive spell characteristics-it Can completely control a person's mind, body and mind.

It's okay, it's just a little bit off-I mean, Mr. McLean, you have to give a reasonable explanation for your behavior! Professor McGonagall seemed relieved, and after realizing something was wrong, he He straightened his face immediately.

Well, I think my progress may be a little fast-I mean, I like to study, and... At this point, Maca gave Hermione a deliberate look, I hope, I can protect what I want to protect people.

Hermione couldn't help but blushed again when she heard this, but Harry and Ron beside Professor McGonagall didn't respond. It seems that girls have always matured earlier than boys, which makes sense.

Professor McGonagall looked at Maca, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. In her opinion, the appearance of a little adult like Maca really makes people laugh.

Snape looked back and forth between Maca and Hermione without saying a word, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Professor McGonagall, if Maca hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I'd be eaten by the troll now. Hermione begged.

I think I need to talk to Dumbledore about the 'Smashing Curse', said Professor McGonagall, but I don't think a first-year student has ever been able to defeat a troll alone, you Hufflepuff Earned ten.

Now, you follow me to the principal's office. As for you, Professor McGonagall glanced at the others, you can go.

Maca glanced at the three of them, and seemed to calmly follow Professor McGonagall who turned to leave, and walked out of the door of the bathroom—in fact, there was only a cracked and damaged door frame left.

Oh—I'm here to deal with this big, big guy. Quirrell stammered while wiping his face.

Snape gave Harry a cold look, then followed without looking back.

Hermione looked at Maca's back with a worried expression. As for whether Maca would be fired or something, she had no idea at all.

Harry and Ron didn't have such worries, or they didn't think that much at all.

What's the 'curse'? That looks so cool! Ron looked at the motionless troll lying on the ground, the bowl of big wounds looked a little scary.

Yeah! Even the big bat that hurts people said 'not bad'! I can't believe it. Harry also nodded.

He's just mocking Maca! Hermione exclaimed.
