Just like in the original time and space, Ron and Dean also found Snape walking upstairs.
It's just that there is no Harry Potter. Although Snape still hates Gryffindor, at least he will not find trouble without reason. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties cannot be said to be good, but there are not too many festivals, and the reputation of both parties is in a "cold" state.
So Ron didn't care about Snape's whereabouts.
All he wanted now was to find Lavender.
Therefore, he and Dean just avoided Snape, waited until the other party left, and then immediately ran towards the bathroom.
The time spent is much less than the original time and space.
And this leads to a problem, that is, the troll at this time has not yet reached the second floor...
"Lavender, are you in there?" The two ran to the bathroom door, and Ron knocked on the door and asked.
"Ron? What are you doing here?" Lavender in the bathroom couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard Ron's voice, but then she thought of what Ron had scolded her before, and immediately snorted and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Come out quickly, there's a troll in the school, we have to go back to the dormitory quickly." Ron said impatiently.
"...I won't, unless you apologize!" However, Lavender was not that easy to talk to, and she didn't know what was going on outside, so she thought the troll or something was just Ron bluffing her.
"What? Apologize? Don't even think about it!" Ron was annoyed when he heard it. He didn't feel that he was at fault. If you hadn't been pestering me every day to care about this and that, would I have scolded you?
"Ron, do you smell anything?" Dean originally wanted to say a few words for Ron, but he suddenly felt that something was not right.
"What do you smell? It stinks, but this is a toilet. Isn't the smell normal?" Ron replied without thinking.
"...Have you ever smelled such a bad smell in other toilets?" Dean asked, looking at Ron like a fool, and began to wonder if he was a little too ill-considered to become friends with this guy.
Are you kidding? We are wizards. With magic, even the toilet cannot be like the toilet in the Muggle world. It will stink if it is not cleaned in time.
Not to mention that this is still Hogwarts, and the house elves are also responsible for the sanitation work - Filch is just the administrator. If he really had to rely on him to clean such a big castle, he would be exhausted and couldn't finish it.
After hearing Dean's reminder, Ron finally came to his senses.
Yes, how could the toilet be so smelly?
And Lavender inside even yelled, "You're the one who stinks, bastard Ron, stinky Ron!"
But at this time Ron was no longer in the mood to pay attention to her.
Because he and Dean had discovered the source of the stink.
It was accompanied by a low grunt and the sound of huge feet dragging along the ground.
At the other end of the passage where the bathroom was located, a huge figure came out from the corner, and at first glance he saw the two Ron standing at the door of the bathroom.
"Oh...Merlin's beard, Lavender, open the door!" Ron screamed.
"Lavender, open the door quickly and let us in!" Dean also said in a panic.
"Are you crazy? This is the women's bathroom..." Lavender inside didn't know why.
"Open the door now, I apologize, I apologize, please, Lavender!" Ron was already crying, because the troll was rushing towards them quickly.
"What the hell is going on with you guys..." At this moment, Lavender finally realized something was wrong and immediately opened the door. However, before she could finish her words, she was pushed away by Ron outside, with such force that she was directly pushed away. Lavender, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground.
Then Ron and Dean immediately rushed into the women's bathroom and immediately closed the door.
"Damn it, Ron, what's wrong with you!" Lavender, who was pushed down, cursed angrily.
However, before Ron could say anything, there was a violent banging on the door, which directly suppressed her anger.
The troll's big stick hit the door, directly opening a huge gap in the door - unlike the professors' offices and student dormitories, the bathroom door was obviously not protected by magic and could not withstand the troll's attack. Big stick.
"What the hell is this?" Lavender muttered, a little frightened.
"It's a troll, we're dead now!" Ron and Dean were almost crying, why were they so unlucky?
Another heavy blow, and the bathroom door was completely shattered.
The ugly and terrifying giant appeared in the sight of the three children in the bathroom, completely frightening the three of them.
However, the troll would not be merciful because of this, and once again raised the big stick in his hand.
"Expelliarmus!" Just when the three naughty children fell into despair, a loud shout came from the corridor on the other side.
Then I saw the troll's big stick flying out.
It was Cedric who followed Ron and Dean after being reminded by Neville.
The troll, who was about to swing the big stick, looked at his empty hands and was a little dazed.
This guy, whose cerebellum is not fully developed, seems not to realize what is happening.
After being in a daze for a while, he realized that his weapon had flown far away for some reason.
However, he didn't pick it up immediately, nor did he change his target to Cedric. Instead, he waved his big hand, trying to catch Ron and the others.
"Collapsed!" Seeing this, Cedric couldn't help but frowned, and threw out another magic.
However, when this magic hit the giant monster, it only caused the opponent to stagger and did not have much effect.
Because creatures like trolls are still very resistant to magic.
It can be said that Ron was able to "defeat" the troll in the original time and space, which is very coincidental, because the object of his spell happened to be the big stick in the troll's hand, not the troll itself.
Then the stupid giant was knocked unconscious by his heavy club.
In contrast, Cedric's first goal when he came up was to stop the troll from hurting the three of Ron, so he subconsciously used Expelliarmus.
Although he successfully prevented the troll's attack, he also lost the best "tool" to defeat the troll.
Seeing that one spell failed, Cedric shot several more spells in succession.
However, as a third-year student, his magic has limited impact on creatures with high magic resistance like trolls.
Although it also caused a certain amount of damage, it was unable to completely incapacitate the giant monster.
But Cedric's goal was achieved, and the troll's attention was finally drawn away from Ron and the others.
But what's worse is that the troll is clearly pissed off too.
The other party immediately started running and rushed towards Cedric.
Upon seeing this, Cedric turned around and ran away.
However, although the giant monster's brain is not very good, it is really tall and powerful, and it is really not something that humans can outrun.
Just as the giant monster was about to hit Cedric, a light shield suddenly rose from his body.
Power Word Shield!
Then Cedric was knocked out.
But Cedric, who originally thought he was dead, got up again and found that he was not injured at all, only a layer of light on his body that had become slightly dim.
