Chapter 76 Quirrell's Box
...
After adjusting his wizard robe, Jerry pretended to have just walked out of the common room and walked towards the stairs.
After walking around the corner, the scene on the other side of the stairs also fell into his eyes.
At this time, the troll was standing at the top of the stairs. He was holding a big stick in his left hand and holding Professor Quirrell's ankle in his right hand. He was hitting the ground left and right like he was holding a toy.
This scene reminded Jerry of how similar it was to the way the Hulk carried Loki and threw him when he was watching Avengers 1.
"Hi~ So miserable!"
Seeing Professor Quirrell's face covered in blood and his eyes blurred, Jerry couldn't help but mourn for two seconds of silence for him.
On the stairs opposite the troll, Hermione was so frightened that she fell to the ground, screaming and retreating in terror.
Obviously, the troll and Professor Quirrell, whose face was covered in blood, frightened her a little.
In the final analysis, although Hermione is a top student and has rich theoretical knowledge, she is still a little girl with little practical experience and no strong fighting talent.
If she really encounters a sudden and dangerous situation like today, she will not be as capable as Harry and Ron.
"Hermione, what's going on? Why was Professor Quirrell captured by the troll!"
With a surprised expression on his face like "I don't know anything," Jerry rushed to the stairs and asked Hermione loudly.
When Hermione saw Jerry appearing, her mood finally calmed down:
"I don't know, I just drank too much juice and wanted to go to the basement to use the toilet, and that's when I saw this!"
"Huh? There's no toilet on the first floor. Why go to the basement to use the toilet?"
Jerry was also a little speechless, but he quickly took out his wand and shouted:
"I'll hold him back first, and you quickly go to the auditorium and call the professor and the others over!"
In fact, he didn't know that going to the bathroom was just an excuse for Hermione. She just didn't see Jerry at the Slytherin table during the dinner and was worried that something had happened to him, so she wanted to go down to the basement to take a look.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as I got halfway down the stairs, I saw the cruel sight of a giant monster carrying Professor Quirrell, whose face was covered in blood, and banging him against him.
"Okay... okay, be careful, I'll call the professor and them over right now!"
Upon hearing this, Hermione quickly stood up and went upstairs, rushing towards the Great Hall.
And at this moment, a small, palm-sized box suddenly fell to the ground with a "clack" in Professor Quirrell's wizard robe, which was being held upside down by the troll.
When Jerry saw the box, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Collapse!"
Pointing the wand in his hand, a blue magic light shot straight towards the giant monster.
The troll is a magical animal that is about four meters tall, weighs one ton, and has only a booger in its brain. In the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the level of danger is classified as XXXX.
Jerry, who has experience fighting more powerful abominations, is certainly not afraid of trolls and knows their weaknesses.
After a sleeping spell temporarily stunned the troll, Jerry stepped forward and grabbed Professor Quirrell, who fell from the troll's hand. He took the opportunity to pretend to be unintentional and kicked the box that fell on the ground.
Let it fly directly into the abandoned classroom next to the stairs.
Dragging the dying Professor Quirrell's wizard robe, he did not attack the troll again, but fled down the stairs to the first floor.
Professor Quirrell was dragged upstairs by Jerry, and the back of his head banged on the stairs.
In about seven or eight seconds, the troll woke up and was about to go up the stairs with a big stick, but he cast a coma spell again.
Dragging Professor Quirrell to the first floor, Jerry also saw Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall and the school nurse Mrs. Peanuts rushing over.
It turned out that Hermione had just rushed into the auditorium and loudly announced that a troll appeared in the basement. Professor Quirrell was frightened and fell into the hands of the troll. Jerry was trying to save Professor Quirrell from the troll.
came out.
Dumbledore immediately dispatched Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall and the school doctor Pompeo.
...
"Mr. Carmen, are you okay?"
Mag looked at Jerry nervously.
Although Jerry is not a Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall attaches equal importance to the safety of every little wizard.
"I'm fine, but Professor Quirrell is probably not fine. The troll is still on the first floor. My sleeping spell won't be able to stop him for a few seconds!"
Jerry pointed at Quirrell, whose face was covered in blood on the ground.
Snape glanced at Quirrell with some confusion, and then told Jerry in a slightly appreciative tone:
"Jerry, you are very good. Follow Professor McGonagall back to the auditorium first. I'll go down and deal with that troll!"
"Leave Professor Quirrell to me and I will take him for treatment!"
At this moment, Mrs. Pontlev waved her wand, and Professor Quirrell's body followed her to the school doctor's office under the influence of her moving spell.
The Movement Charm is a magic spell similar to the Levitation Charm, except that it not only makes objects float, but can also move with the wizard's thoughts under the control of the wizard's wand.
Of course, unlike the floating spell which can be left alone after being cast, the moving spell needs to continuously release magic power and cannot be too far away from the wizard, otherwise it will be impossible to control it.
"Mr. Carmen, why are you alone in the basement?"
On the way back to the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked with some confusion.
Jerry was already prepared for this problem:
"I was so engrossed in reading in the common room that by the time I realized it, I had missed the start of the dinner!"
He has been reading in the common room this afternoon, as many Slytherin wizards can tell, and just before the dinner was about to start, he also met Daphne and Pansy.
Mag nodded. She didn't suspect anything, she was just curious.
"Mr. Carmen, you performed very well just now. If you hadn't bravely held back the troll, Miss Granger and Professor Quirrell would have been in danger!
For your bravery, I'll give Slytherin ten points!"
In fact, Professor McGonagall has always been deeply impressed by Jerry, the little wizard. From the very beginning when she saw Jerry bravely standing up for the bullied weak in the orphanage, she felt that Jerry was a good fit for Gryffindor.
Because the most important quality of Gryffindor is courage.
Unfortunately, unexpectedly, Jerry was sorted directly into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat during the sorting ceremony.
"Thank you Professor McGonagall!"
Jerry responded with a smile.
Although Snape was very kind to him, he had to admit that in terms of fairness and justice, Professor McGonagall was indeed a model among the entire Hogwarts professors.
"call!"
Following Professor McGonagall into the auditorium, I saw that except for the young wizards and Hermione of Slytherin, as well as the Headmaster of Ravenclaw, Flitwick, and the Headmaster of Hufflepuff, Sprout, there was no one in the auditorium.
At the sight of Dumbledore, Jerry also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it, the young wizards from other colleges should have returned to their dormitories under the leadership of their prefects. Dumbledore most likely went to check his magic stone.
Although there was a slight mishap in this plan, the result was still good.
The only loophole is probably Dumbledore's Legilimency. If Dumbledore uses Legilimency against him, it will be very troublesome.
Although, he felt that the possibility was not very high.
