Chapter 25 Suspicion and Suspicion

After successfully killing the troll, Mike felt that he had no strength left in his body. He struggled to get up and leaned against the wall, put himself in a more comfortable position and began to wait for the professors to arrive.

The first person to rush to the scene was Professor Flitwick. It is hard to imagine how he, with his short legs, could rush to the scene before all the professors.

But this was understandable. Mike was a student he was very optimistic about. If he died inexplicably at the hands of a stupid troll, he would blame himself for a long time.

When he arrived at the scene, what he saw was not the scene he expected of Mike being chased around by a troll.

Instead, Mike was sitting in the corner holding a blackthorn wand, gasping for air and resting. Not far from him was the troll that had caused them to suspend their Halloween dinner.

But now this giant monster can no longer move, and its entire upper body has been roasted.

Especially the head and neck, which were almost burned until only the burnt bones were left.

Its hands were still firmly fixed behind its back by the confinement spell, and its entire body was arched in an extremely twisted posture.

The right thigh has been broken, and the exposed bone spurs can be clearly seen outside the wound. There was a large pool of dark red liquid on the ground, which was the solidified blood of the troll.

The air is filled with a strong stench, mixed with the aroma of barbecue. This mixed smell is guaranteed to make people never want to eat barbecue again after smelling it.

Mag and others who arrived later were shocked by this scene. They had also thought that maybe Mike, a first-year freshman, could defeat the giant monster with his own wisdom.

What I didn't expect was that the giant monster would be killed in an almost brutal way.

As for Hermione and Harry, they were already vomiting.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Professor Flitwick loved Mike the most. When everyone else was shocked by the death of the troll, only Professor Flitwick reacted and began to ask about Mike's status.

"It's okay, Dean, I'm just a little exhausted."

"It's okay! You did a great job! Beautiful fire spell. I was far worse than you when I was your age."

It seemed that Flitwick didn't care about the troll's life or death at all, he only cared about Mike's safety.

But some people don't think so much.

"How dare you! How dare you do this!" Professor McGonagall was furious. "Do you know how dangerous this is! The troll can easily crush you to death with one finger!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall say this to Mike, Hermione was unhappy. She suppressed her nausea and said, "It's all my fault! Mike met the troll because he took me to the auditorium. He was alone because he was protecting me. Leave the one behind to hold off the troll."

Professor McGonagall was a little embarrassed by Hermione's rebuke, but fortunately Professor Flitwick came to her rescue at this time.

"Okay, it's enough that everyone is safe." Flitwick helped Mike up. "In addition, in recognition of Mike's bravery and wit, Ravenclaw will add 20 points!"

Mike was a little touched. After all the time he had been in this world, Professor Flitwick was still the first person who was truly kind to him.

He could feel that Flitwick looked at him like a promising junior of his. He had never felt that kind of gaze in his two lifetimes combined.

"Okay, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back quickly. Mike needs to go to Madam Pomfrey's for a checkup." After that, Flitwick and Hermione helped Mike leave the door of the smelly women's bathroom.

McGonagall had mixed feelings in her heart. Hermione was a student she liked very much, and her personality was very similar to her own when she was young.

At this moment, looking at Hermione who was also supporting Mike, Professor McGonagall actually felt as if her own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

After looking at Mike and Hermione, and then turning his head to look at Harry and Ron who were still vomiting, McGonagall became more and more angry as he thought about it, picked up their ears and walked towards Gryffindor.

Snape was left alone at the scene. He didn't say a word just now, and his sense of presence was pitiful. This was not in line with his personality.

At this time, he did not choose to leave like others. His eyes scanned the field circle after circle, trying to restore the entire process of the battle just now. This was not difficult for him.

Finally, his eyes stayed on the troll's hands that were still tied behind his back and his right leg that was still attached to the left leg after being broken, and he didn't leave for a long time.

Madam Pomfrey was eating pumpkin pie when Hermione and Professor Flitwick sent Mike to the infirmary. The dinner she had just finished had ended because of the troll matter before she was full.

It was already late at night when Madam Pomfrey finished checking Mike. Although Mike was just out of strength, Madam Pomfrey decided to let Mike rest in the infirmary for a night just to be on the safe side.

After confirming that Mike was fine, Hermione reluctantly left the infirmary under the escort of Professor Flitwick and others.

At this time, in the principal's office at Hogwarts, Snape was reporting to Principal Dumbledore what he had just seen and heard.

"Our dear Mr. Townley is a ruthless character. He not only has amazing talents in fighting, but also has a cruel heart." Snape said in his trademark deep voice.

Opposite him, Principal Dumbledore, who was sitting on his desk writing something unknown, did not speak, but raised the hand holding the pen to signal Snape to continue.

"He first used the leg-locking spell to limit the giant monster's movement speed, which was very clever." Snape walked to Dumbledore's desk. "Only wizards with rich experience in hunting monsters know how to deal with giant creatures." method."

"Mr. Townley actually could have escaped unharmed after the leg-locking spell took effect, but he did not do so.

He chose to use a confinement spell to immobilize the giant monster, and finally used a fire spell to burn the giant monster to death.

Do you know what this means?

This means that Mr. Townley, faced with an enemy that had completely lost the ability to resist, still chose to kill it. This is not what a first-year wizard should think. "

Dumbledore finally stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said to Snape expressionlessly: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest."

Snape turned around and left without hesitation.

The office became very quiet, and even the crackling sound of firewood burning in the stove could be heard clearly.

Dumbledore did not continue the work at hand. He stood up and walked to Fawkes, the Phoenix, who was preening his feathers on the corner stand.

He gently scratched the back of Fox's head. Fox felt very comfortable being scratched by him. He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head back hard.

"It seems we need to find time to talk to Little Mac." A voice so soft that it was almost inaudible came from Dumbledore's mouth.

Fox didn't seem to hear what Dumbledore had just said. He opened his eyes and stared at Dumbledore with doubtful eyes.
