Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Monster? Just That?
"We should go back." Percy looked at Ron and Harry in front of him.
At this time, Harry and Ron were looking at Percy with pleading eyes. After a long time, Harry said, "At least let us finish watching the screen. I want to know if Hermione will..."
Hearing Harry's words, Percy nodded helplessly. He turned to the Gryffindor students and said, "Fred, George, you take everyone back to the dormitory. I'll stay here and watch them."
"Huh??" George and Fred looked at their older brother blankly, "You really trust us? " They also wanted to stay and watch the screen.
But in critical moments, the twins were reliable.
Harry and the others watched the screen once again.
［Hermione finally wiped her tears and walked out of the bathroom. However, as soon as she came out, she saw a huge figure blocking her way. ］
［It was a green monster, nearly five meters tall, reaching the ceiling. Just the big club in its hand was taller than Hermione herself. ］
［ "Ah!!" ］
［ Hermione screamed, and immediately ran back to the toilet. Sadly, the thin wooden door was so fragile in the face of the five-meter tall monster. With a single sweep, all the toilets were smashed to pieces. ］
"No!!" Hermione was terrified. How could she cry anymore? Now she pushed open the bathroom door.
Her body was still trembling. She was afraid that as soon as she opened the door, she would see the terrible monster blocking her way and smash her into a pulp with one club.
However, when she opened the door, she saw a figure standing at the entrance of the bathroom, smiling at her.
"You've cried enough. Let's go back. Otherwise, that big guy should be here soon."
"Zhang Dong!"
Seeing Zhang Dong in front of her, Hermione almost couldn't help but cry again. She was at her most helpless moment. Seeing her only friend risking his safety to save her, how could she not be moved?
"Yes, let's go! The monster is coming!"
Hermione quickly ran to Zhang Dong, grabbed his hand, and wanted to run away. However, at this moment, Hermione found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull Zhang Dong away, because...
"It seems we're too late. That big guy is already here."
In the Great Hall
Harry, Ron and Percy had already clenched their fists in anxiety. Sure enough, Hermione was discovered by the monster.
［"Ah!! Help me!" ］
［Hermione kept shouting. Hearing Hermione's voice, Harry and Ron also ran over quickly. ］
［But what could three little wizards do in the face of a terrifying monster? ］
［ "Ah!!" ］
［Harry charged forward with his wand. He used the monster's club as a springboard and jumped directly onto the monster's head, then raised his wand and poked it directly into the monster's nostrils! ］
"Harry!! You should have poked its eyes!" Percy said helplessly. If it were him, he would have used his wand to poke out the monster's eyes!
No, why would he go up and poke it with a wand if he had a wand? Wasn't magic better?
Harry nodded and silently made a note of it.
［Sure enough, Harry's physical attack had no effect on the monster. The monster reached out and grabbed Harry's leg with one hand. ］
［The monster held Harry in one hand, and raised the club high in the other, ready to strike down. No one doubted that if the club fell, Harry's slender body would be smashed into a pancake! ］
"Sure enough, Professor McGonagall was right. I should have watched you guys." Percy sighed in lament.
He thought of the next scene: Harry being smashed into a pancake, then Ron, Hermione. He couldn't imagine how heartbroken his mother would be if she saw Ron dead.
He hoped that day would never come.
Percy silently prayed in his heart.
［"Hurry up and think of something!" Harry yelled. ］
［"What can we do?" Ron didn't know what to do. ］
［"Anything!" ］
［Seeing Harry's life hanging by a thread, Ron picked up his wand, unsure what to do. On the other hand, Hermione reminded him loudly, ］
［"A flick of the wrist, then a wave!" ］
［Hearing Hermione's reminder, Ron finally remembered the spell he had learned just today! ］
［"Wingardium Leviosa!" ］
［The Levitation Charm worked. The monster's club floated in the air, but Ron's newly learned charm couldn't last long. ］
［The club's levitation was lifted and it fell from the air, hitting its own head with a "bang" sound. ］
［The monster swayed, then fell to the ground. ］
Harry...
Ron...
Percy...
At this moment, the three of them had only one thought: the monster that scared Quirrell into a coma was just this weak?
［When Professor McGonagall arrived with Snape and Quirrell, they only saw a fallen monster. ］
［Seeing this scene, Hermione stepped forward and took responsibility. ］
［"It's all my fault, Professor McGonagall. I thought I could handle it, so I came here. Harry and Ron came here to save me." ］
［"Miss Granger! I always thought you had good judgment! Gryffindor loses five points." Professor McGonagall was very angry, not because Hermione had broken the rules, but because she was worried about her safety. ］
［"And you two! Each of you gains five points for your good luck." ］
［After speaking, Professor McGonagall motioned for the trio to leave quickly. When the trio passed by Snape, they were surprised to find that Snape's leg had a bleeding wound. It was a bite mark from some animal... ］
The video ended completely.
"Wow, Percy! Because of you! Gryffindor got ten points!" Ron immediately shouted at Percy.
Hearing Ron's words, Percy was speechless at this moment.
Who would have thought that such a terrifying monster would be so weak!
"That's not the point, Ron." Harry looked at Ron. "The point is, if fate had arranged for us two to save Hermione, would she be in danger now if we weren't here?"
"It shouldn't be, right?" Ron said. "After all, Zhang Dong is there. His strength is much stronger than ours."
