“Let me be clear, I’m not a pervert… Who would believe that anyway.”
Standing at the entrance of the girls’ lavatory, Zhang Dong felt a bit awkward. He could hear faint sobs coming from inside, Hermione must be in there.
But it was the girls’ lavatory, he couldn’t go in, and he couldn’t just stand there.
“Should I wait here for a while? But I can’t just stand here doing nothing, maybe I can watch some videos?”
He remembered he hadn’t watched any videos for a while, it was time for a video anyway. And if he remembered correctly, at this time… The big guy should have been released by Quirrell, right?
Thinking about this, Zhang Dong silently clicked on a video.
［Troll Before Halloween］
Swipe!
Meanwhile, in the Great Hall.
The light screen reappeared, all the young witches and wizards were excited seeing it.
“Look! It’s the light screen! Great! We have videos to watch again!”
“God knows what I went through these past two months! I was going to die without videos!”
“It’s almost the end of the term, do you think the light screen will reveal the final exam questions to us? That would be awesome!”
“What are you thinking? Even if it reveals the questions, you think the professors are dead? They don’t know how to change them? And besides, except for Professor Binns’ History of Magic class, all other exams are about practical application, what’s the point of knowing the questions without knowing how to do it.”
The young witches and wizards at the tables were already discussing enthusiastically, while on the platform, Dumbledore was truly a bit nervous.
For two months, the light screen hadn’t appeared, he thought that the unknown oracle had just passed by and left, but now it seems… Was he staying? Or has he returned?
From the previous few videos, the unknown being didn’t seem malicious, but the problem was, I set up so much, what if you expose it all, will Harry and the others still go? I set up so much, wouldn’t it be all in vain?
Hermione was equally surprised, hiding in the lavatory, she saw the light screen suddenly appear, her face flushed red.
Because of this, she felt like she was being watched.
But since the light screen had appeared, Hermione naturally continued watching.
［In the Great Hall, the young witches and wizards were having a great time celebrating the eve of Halloween, suddenly, the door to the Great Hall was opened, a figure rushed in like he was scared out of his wits, it was the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher - Quirrell.］
“I never understood how someone like Professor Quirrell could become the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, he’s so timid.”
“Right, and Professor Quirrell’s class is so boring, he only reads from the book, he never taught me anything.”
“And he’s not steady at all, we have the greatest wizard in the entire wizarding world here, Dumbledore, what’s he scared of.”
The young witches and wizards were discussing, not at all bothered.
Then, they saw what happened next.
［“Troll… Troll… There’s a troll in the dungeons!… I should probably tell someone…”
After saying that, Quirrell rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
“Ahh!!!”］
“Ahh!!!”
Instantly, the young witches and wizards in the video and in the light screen screamed at the same time, then they all jumped up from their seats and caused chaos.
Then the door opened, Quirrell, who was panicking, rushed in at the same time.
“Troll… Troll… There’s a… um…?”
Quirrell was baffled by the situation.
What’s going on? I haven’t even spread the news yet, why are you guys already panicking? How come there are others causing chaos besides me?
Isn’t this stealing my thunder? If you have this plan, you could have told me earlier.
“Silence!”
［“Silence!”］
Dumbledore in the light screen and in reality spoke simultaneously, seeing this bizarre scene, everyone suddenly felt like they were watching a live broadcast. Even though this era didn’t have the concept of live broadcasting yet.
［Dumbledore in the video said: “Prefects, take your houses to the classrooms, teachers, follow me to the dungeons.”］
On the platform, Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t say anything. After a long silence, he said: “He’s right, everyone do as he says.”
Perhaps because of this humorous atmosphere, everyone’s tension subsided a bit.
Of course, with Dumbledore and so many excellent teachers present, it’s just a troll, what’s there to be afraid of.
They were relaxed, they even started watching the video again.
［Walking on the Gryffindor stairs, Harry looked at Ron in confusion and asked: “How could a troll suddenly appear?”
“I don’t know either, trolls aren’t very bright, someone must have deliberately put them in, maybe it was a prank… Harry where are you going?”
“To find Hermione, she doesn’t know about the troll yet!”
After saying this, Harry and Ron walked towards the dungeons together.］
Professor McGonagall…
Harry…
Ron…
“While I appreciate your courage, but Percy, watch them carefully, don’t let them leave your sight for a second!” Professor McGonagall sternly ordered Percy, the prefect, to watch Harry and Ron.
What a joke, such a dangerous thing, how could you let kids get involved, isn’t that sending them to their deaths?
After giving her instructions, Professor McGonagall quickly walked towards the dungeons as well, knowing that Hermione was there, she was even more nervous.
Professor McGonagall, she’s truly a qualified teacher.
But…
Seeing the teachers leave, Harry and Ron immediately wanted to follow them, however, Percy grabbed them by their arms.
“You two stop! Professor McGonagall just told me, and you guys ran off, am I a prefect or not?”
Looking at Percy who was acting so official in front of them, Harry and Ron were even more helpless.
“Harry, what do we do now?”
“Right, Zhang Dong has already gone, he’s so powerful, he should be fine…”
Harry and Ron were not confident when they said this, a troll is so powerful, Zhang Dong is after all just a first-year, can he really handle it?
