Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 22 Halloween Horror Night

Nidia didn't know what to do now. The troll was approaching them step by step. Nidia kept recalling the spells she had learned, but they were all daily spells, and there were no offensive or offensive ones. Has a defensive effect. The troll suddenly raised the wooden stick and swung it at Nydia and Hermione, who were so frightened that they ran back. At this time, apart from screaming, the two panicked people's minds were completely blank.

The troll forced them into a blind corner, and the two shivered and huddled against the wall. They had no way to retreat, and they watched the troll approaching step by step.

Just when both of them were desperate, the toilet door, which had been locked for some time, was suddenly opened again.

"Nitya."

"Hermione."

It was Harry and Ron who rushed in. Harry grabbed a faucet and threw it against the wall.

The troll was attracted by the noise Harry made and stopped. It looked towards Harry, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Harry, raising the stick in its hand.

"Hey, you idiot," Ron shouted from across the room, throwing a metal pipe at the troll. The troll stopped again and looked in the direction of Ron. Harry took the opportunity to get behind it. He grabbed Nydia with one hand and Hermione with the other, trying to pull them towards the door.

"Come here, run, run," Harry shouted.

The shouts and echoes seemed to drive the troll mad. After it roared, it began to approach Ron fiercely, and Ron was forced to have no way out.

At this moment, Harry did something very brave. He jumped forward and wrapped his arms around the troll's neck from behind. Harry had his wand in his hand as he jumped up, thrusting it into one of the troll's nostrils. The troll roared in pain. It twisted and swung the wooden stick in its hand. At any time, the troll might throw Harry off, then grab him and give him a devastating blow with the wooden stick.

"Find a way to help him quickly, he's dying. Something needs to be done." Ron shouted anxiously.

What to do? Nidia looked anxiously at Harry, who was shaking. She wanted to help, but she couldn't do anything.

"Magic...magic wand." Hermione on the side made a trembling voice. She had collapsed to the ground in fear.

Yes, magic wand, I am a wizard! You can use spells. Nydia immediately pulled out her wand.

"Yingadim Leviosa!" A levitating spell, which was the spell they learned in today's Charms class. The moment Nydia took out her wand, she could only think of this one.

The troll's wooden stick flew out of his hand, rose high into the air, turned around slowly, and then fell down, hitting its owner hard on the head. The troll swayed on the spot and fell face down on the floor with a boom that shook the whole room.

Harry scrambled to his feet, shaking and panting. Nidia was also stunned on the spot, her hands still maintaining the same position as when casting the spell.

"Is it...dead?" Hermione was the last to speak.

"I don't think so," said Harry. "It was probably just knocked unconscious."

He bent down and pulled out his wand from the troll's nose. It was stained with large pieces of gray gelatinous substance.

"Bah, the troll's snot." Harry wiped his wand on the troll's pants in disgust.

A moment later Professor McGonagall burst into the room, followed closely by Snape and Quirrell at the end. Quirrell only glanced at the troll, then slumped down on the toilet, clutching his chest.

Professor McGonagall angrily asked the four of them what was going on and why they didn't go back to the dormitory as requested. What was unexpected was that Hermione stood up and took all the responsibilities. She told Professor McGonagall that she came here because she wanted to deal with the troll alone, and that everyone else came to save her.

Who would have thought that Hermione, who always followed the rules and always kept the school rules on her lips, would actually lie and say that she had violated the school rules in order to get everyone out of trouble.

In the end, Professor McGonagall deducted five points as a punishment for Hermione's behavior, but also gave the other three five points as a reward each. However, she still reminded them that they were just lucky this time and would not be the same in the future.

Everyone was relieved that the incident ended successfully. They followed Professor McGonagall's arrangements and prepared to leave the scene and return to Gryffindor's castle.

When Nydia passed by Snape, she found that the hem of his black robe was damaged, as if it had been scratched by something sharp, and there was blood on the edge. Nydia looked at Snape in confusion, but just as she was about to ask, Snape's fierce look forced her to take back what she wanted to ask. She had to obediently return to the Gryffindor common room with the others. room, the Halloween dinner that failed to end successfully was moved here. Hermione, who had left first, was waiting for them at the door. The four of them looked at each other. After an awkward silence, the four of them said "thank you" at the same time, and then hurried to their plates.

When Michelle saw Nidia coming back, she quickly stepped forward to ask about Nidia's situation.

"How are you? Do you know? Not long after you left, Professor Quirrell came in and said that there was a troll in the school. I was really worried that you would encounter it. Fortunately, Harry found you."

"How did you know that Harry came to find us?" Nitya asked.

"When Dumbledore asked us all to go back to the college lounge, I told Harry that you were going to find Hermione. You two may not know about the trolls, and then he and Ron went to find you!" Mi Sher said.

"So that's it, I asked them how could they suddenly appear! But this time it's really thanks to you telling them, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened." Nidia told Michelle exactly what happened. Michelle was shocked and couldn't believe that the four of them had experienced such a dangerous thing just now.

"I want to go back to the dormitory to rest. I'm really tired." Nidia said to Michelle.

"Okay, go quickly, you must be exhausted! You would encounter such a thing." Michelle said.

There were too many things that happened this night. Nidia has not been able to think about these things carefully. How could a troll come into the school? It is not small! It's impossible to sneak in with that clumsy body shape.

Quirrell's weird behavior at the door of the restaurant seemed to be deliberately trying to create a feeling of panic, like an act. And Snape's injury? That was a new wound. There was only one giant monster, and they had solved it. Why was he still injured? Is this all connected? Nidia felt that something was happening quietly without them knowing. And this incident made Nidia feel uneasy.
