Professor McGonagall was followed closely by Snape and Flitwick, while Quirrell walked timidly at the end.
Quirrell only glanced at the troll, then let out a weak sob, fell back and sat on a toilet, clutching his chest tightly.
Snape bent down to look at the troll. As soon as he entered, he noticed a burn on the top of the troll's head and an abnormal cut on its neck that had healed.
Professor McGonagall stared at the four little wizards.
Tiera noticed that Professor McGonagall's lips were pale and her whole body was shaking. A pair of cat-like eyes seemed to be brewing with great anger.
"What kind of trick are you playing?" Professor McGonagall asked again, with cold anger in her voice, "You four are lucky not to be killed by it. Why don't you just stay in the dormitory?"
"Professor McGonagall, it's like this..." Tiera was going to tell the story exactly. Of course, she had to hide herself, because in his opinion, it was normal for several children to have conflicts.
Anyway, there was Harry's accomplice, so it was impossible for the school to really expel them.
But Hermione took a step forward from the corner and said first:
"Professor McGonagall, it's me! I came for the troll because I... I thought I could deal with it on my own, you know, because I'd read about them in books and thought I knew a lot about them."
Tiera couldn't help but look at Hermione with admiration.
It's one thing to see it in a book or movie, but it's another thing to actually encounter it in real life.
Just the fact that Hermione dared to risk being expelled to cover for Tiera was quite commendable.
You know, for Hermione, being expelled is a punishment more terrible than death.
Hermione Granger told a teacher a whopper? Ron looked at Hermione in surprise.
"If they hadn't gotten to me, I'd definitely be dead by now. Tiera... and Harry and Ron, put... Tiera, the new one, newly developed, and George Weasley, their new one Throwing flash bombs at the troll, they had no time to find anyone, because the time was too short, there was no time to find anyone. When they arrived, the troll was about to swallow me up. So Tiera hit the troll on the head first. Throw a few flashbangs. Then save me from the troll."
Harry and Ron tried to look like they were already familiar with the story.
"Oh...if that's the case..." Professor McGonagall looked at them and pondered. "Miss Granger, you silly girl, it's a good thing to have a thirst for knowledge, but how can you think that you can deal with a mountain of giant monsters on your own?"
Hermione hung her head. Harry couldn't say a word. Hermione was the last person likely to break school rules, and yet now, in order to help them get out of trouble, she lied and said she had broken school rules.
It was almost like Snape started handing out Halloween candy to everyone, it was unbelievable.
"Miss Granger, Gryffindor will be deducted five points for this incident," said Professor McGonagall. "I am very disappointed in you. If you are not hurt at all, it is best to return to Granger as soon as possible." Let’s go to Castle Findor. The students are having Halloween dinner in their colleges.”
Hermione quickly walked out of the toilet.
Professor McGonagall turned to Tiera, Harry and Ron.
"Well, I still say you're lucky, not many first years can take on a full-grown troll. You each win five points for Gryffindor. I'll inform Dumbledore about this." Professor Lido's. You can go."
They hurried out of the room, but when Tiera passed Snape. Snape suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
"This is no ordinary flashbang injury," Snape said.
Tiera's heart tightened, and just when he was about to explain something, Snape slowly let go of his hand.
Tiera ran away quickly.
But the sharp eyes like an eagle kept staring at Tiera until Tiera disappeared at the top of the stairs.
"We should have won by more than fifteen points." Tiera was talking to Harry and Ron on the front stairs, and Ron was heard grumbling.
"We... Tiera killed a giant monster!" Ron quickly changed his words after noticing Tiera chasing after them.
"Only ten points, including the points deducted by Professor McGonagall from Hermione," Harry said.
"And the troll is not dead," Tiera added.
He knew the power of incendiary bombs. Although the monster's physical defense was surprisingly fragile, Tiera not only did not use the cursed worm's flesh, but also only used three incendiary bombs.
Those three incendiary bombs would at most seriously injure or disable the giant monster, but they would definitely not cause death.
Because Tiera paid special attention to the wound on the giant monster's head when she just took the blood.
Not even the skull was burned through.
And the troll's belly was still rising and falling weakly.
"It's so nice of Hermione to step up and get us out of trouble," Ron admitted. "But don't forget, we... Tiera did save her."
"If you hadn't said that, maybe she wouldn't have needed anyone to save her." Harry reminded Ron, "That's a very hurtful thing to say."
They walked and came to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Pig nose." After saying the password, they got into the dormitory one after another.
The Gryffindor common room was crowded with noisy groups of three or two.
Everyone's face was filled with cheerful smiles, and they were all eating the food served by the house elves.
The only exception was Hermione, who stood alone in the doorway, seemingly waiting for them.
"Thank you." Hermione stepped forward and hugged Tiera.
Then he hugged Harry and Ron again.
After the hug, she ran away quickly.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in confusion.
But they knew that from this moment on, Hermione Granger became their true friend.
When you and someone experience something together, especially knocking out a twelve-foot-tall troll...even though Tiera did most of it...you can't help but feel good about each other.
The carnival that night lasted until midnight. After all the little wizards went to bed tiredly, Tiera came alone to the common room full of garbage and leftovers.
Obscure spells flowed from Tiera's mouth and drifted through the empty common room.
Tiera took out a gold coin and a jar of green blood. With the flames in the fireplace in the lounge, the green flames gradually blended into the gold coins.
The originally smooth surface of the gold coin was gradually outlined with a simple drawing of a giant monster that looked like a child's graffiti.
