Chapter 174 Do you dare to accept it?

The professors searched in the castle all night, opened the doors of all rooms, looked at every secret passage, and almost turned Hogwarts upside down, but until dawn, they still did not find the giant monster. trace.

So Quirrell became the target of public criticism.

Facing the questioning gazes of the professors, Quirrell huddled in the corner and sobbed: "Maybe I... saw it wrong.

You know...the underground classroom is very dark...that might be armor...or a stone statue or something..."

"There are no such things in the underground classroom!" Snape said coldly with a gloomy face: "Besides, I don't think any normal person would regard armor as a troll."

"But...but, I don't...no..." Quirrell hesitated and couldn't speak.

He really didn't know what happened. He had released the giant monster himself, so why did it suddenly disappear?

A giant monster more than ten feet tall just disappeared out of thin air without any movement... Has Hogwarts become so dangerous?

"Perhaps you have too many things to think about recently, so it's not necessarily a hallucination."

Snape suddenly said in a sinister tone: "I suggest you drink some magic potion. How about tomorrow? I will deliver it to you personally. I guarantee that you will be full of energy."

"No... Severus... no need..."

Quirrell shook his head repeatedly and said: "I have the magic potion there... I won't bother... you..."

He didn't dare to drink the potion given by Snape. Who knew if there was anything like veritaserum in it.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a refreshing potion, nothing to worry about." Snape said again, not intending to just let Quirrell go.

It seems that he just likes to help others,

"Really... no need..."

Looking at Snape's gloomy face, Quirrell broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that Snape would forcefully feed him the medicine.

Fortunately, at this time, Professor Flitwick suddenly asked: "Minerva, what should we do now?"

Quirrell was granted amnesty and immediately retreated to the back of the crowd.

Professor McGonagall glanced at him displeased, and then said: "Inform the prefects and ask all students to come to the auditorium. This farce should end."

…

Not long after, the students arrived at the auditorium led by their prefects.

The professors were already waiting here in advance, except Snape.

He was bitten by Lu Wei last night, and he could barely walk around the castle all night with only a little white essence to support him. Now he has returned to the office.

In the auditorium, Professor McGonagall stood at the front and told everyone that the troll was no longer in the castle.

Crisis resolved.

The little wizards immediately cheered.

"I've said it before...there are no trolls.

At the Gryffindor table, Ron said excitedly: "To be honest, I have to experience scams like this at least twice a week, and you still don't believe me!"

But everyone was busy celebrating, and no one paid attention to what he said.

Only Harry patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I have to apologize to you, friend."

Although Hermione also heard it, she did not tell the two of them the truth. Instead, she stood on tiptoes and tried to look at Hufflepuff's position.

There, Kyle was clapping like everyone else, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Is this person really the youngest recipient of the Special Contribution Award to the school?" Hermione fell into self-doubt again.

Kyle naturally didn't know what Hermione was thinking. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

As long as Hermione kept it a secret.

For a period of time after that, Kyle would take some time to come to the box every day and try to tame the giant monster.

Although the troll is stupid and stupid, and does not know magic, its fighting ability is still good. With its rough skin and thick flesh, coupled with its brute strength, it would be no problem to put it in the front row as a human shield.

And being stupid also has the advantage of being stupid, which means that it doesn't have many ideas and will be easy to command.

It wasn't that hard for Kyle to do.

Every time he comes, he will beat the troll without hesitation if it shows any aggressive behavior.

Kyle struck very carefully, not too hard, but it would make the troll feel pain, and then give it some food before leaving.

With the big stick and sweet dates, the troll soon became obedient. When he saw Kyle again, he no longer had any aggression and could only smile innocently.

…

I don’t know who spread the word. Within a few days, everyone knew that Professor Quirrell was too timid and mistook the unknown shadow for a troll, which led to the joke at the Halloween dinner. .

This turned Professor Quirrell, who was already disliked, into the laughing stock of everyone.

This was the first time they had seen such a timid professor, and they didn't know how he dared to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Fred and George even started a bet to guess when Professor Quirrell would leave Hogwarts and what his final outcome would be.

Originally they just wanted to have fun, but they didn't expect that there were so many people participating. The little wizards didn't seem to mind spending a few Nats or Sickles to have some fun for themselves.

After a few days, the money they received added up to almost a dozen galleons.

This unexpected success soon made the twins get carried away. During a meal, they excitedly said to Kyle:

"This is much faster than selling things!"

Fred patted his jingling money bag, "It's like picking up money."

Kyle raised his head and asked: "How many people are participating now."

"There are currently one hundred and twenty-nine people." George blurted out: "There are people from the four colleges."

"So many..." Cedric said in disbelief.

He had thought that there would only be twenty or thirty people at most.

"Professor Quirrell is very popular now..." Fred said: "As long as the topic is related to him, it will always attract attention."

"What about you, do you want to join in?" Fred asked, shaking his money bag.

Cedric and Connor shook their heads at the same time, they were not interested in this kind of thing.

But Kyle touched his chin thoughtfully.
