Chapter 107
To be honest, Ron was envious when he saw everyone standing up and confronting that damn rag beast majesticly.He basically knows everyone who has come forward.
They are all pure blood, either new nobles who have risen in recent years, or old nobles like their family.
However, he stretched his hips, and he couldn't come up with something that could protect everyone.The preciousness of this thing is basically equivalent to the Patek Philippe in the wizarding world.
If it can be recharged and recycled, it is a limited edition.
It's not that they don't have it at home, but these things are all kept on Dad's body.
There is nothing redundant.
Moreover, there are many children in their family. If each person really needs to have one child, few noble families can withstand such pressure.
However, Ron's laments disappeared when George and Fred each took out a ring and took a step forward to stand in front of the crowd.
"George...Fred...you?"
He seemed to be asking what was going on, but asking such a question now was not much different from slapping himself in the face.Better to ask in private.
On the other side, Percy's expression was not good either.
He couldn't be more clear about the family background.He couldn't be more clear about Dad's level in the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, it was impossible for George and Fred to obtain magical items for defense through normal means.
And still two.
Of course, his head turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
And the current situation, coupled with the lessons learned by Professor Quirrell, cannot allow him to stand up and say that possibility now.Otherwise, it wouldn't be just the Weasleys who were lost.It may even put them in a dangerous situation.
Although I usually bicker, but if something goes wrong now, it will kill my brother!
Of course Percy, who was not so bewildered at this time, would do such a thing.
Not only the two Weasley brothers, but also more people who were familiar with the twins felt a little strange at this moment.
Lee Jordan looked at the two friends in front of him, and at the rings in their hands filled with magic fluctuations, which gave people an ancient feeling just by looking at them, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hey! Why don't you show me such a good thing earlier!"
He whispered in George's ear.
George didn't speak, just gave him a relieved smile.
But even so, Lee Jordan still felt a little lost.
Damn, these two guys are rich.There was already a pathetically thick barrier between them.
George and Fred looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, but now was not the time for them to comfort their friends.After all, the immediate crisis is not over yet.
And even if it's over, whether you want to say it or not, you still have to ask Luke for his opinion.There are advantages to speaking, and there are advantages to not speaking.The trade-offs among them were a little unclear for a while.
Professor Sprout threw two seeds, and the moment the seeds landed, the wand tapped.
The two seeds quickly broke out of their shells and grew, and then turned into extremely tough vines.Wrap the troll tightly.
Professor Sprout breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the tightly bound giant in front of him.
Although I don't know why the giant monster suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but the result now is good.
Then, she waved her wand, and a German shepherd dog made of silver-white light emerged from the tip of the wand, blocking the students and the Voldebat.
Few of the students knew the Patronus Charm, it wasn't even taught in the school.
But as one of the deans of the Fourth Academy, it is naturally impossible for her not to be able to use such magic, although in various senses, this magic spell has weak points.But in the face of the current situation, it has a miraculous effect.
Therefore, it can never be determined that a spell is invalid because it is biased.
Hagrid was encouraged. Although he still couldn't defeat the manticore, at this moment, he swung the huge sword in his hand one after another, slashing at the manticore. head, making him a little dizzy.
And that giant monster was looking at the group of students at this time, the group of pure-blood students standing in front of everyone, the student standing in front of everyone, with a solemn and solemn face, with an aura of death.
That is the successor of the Gaunt family.
Could he be the pure-blood leader those people envisioned?
All of this today may become one of the reference materials.
Voldebat dared not move.It is very clear that if it moves now, it will only suffer from itself.That patron saint can kill it.
And at this moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe and oiled hair walked into the gate.
The moment he entered, he was startled by the scene in front of him, and then began to look for those familiar eyes among the students.
Finally, he found it without too much effort.In this way, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at the boy standing in front of everyone.
He took a deep, deep look at him.
Then he drew his wand from under his robes.
"Shen Feng has no shadow!"
The invisible blade pierced into the manticore's mouth. The manticore suffered from pain, and its mouth was covered with blood. It looked like it had just had a full meal, and it looked even more ferocious.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Hagrid swung the huge sword in his hand round and chopped it on the manticore's head.
It finally passed out.
The battlefield in front of him finally turned back into the auditorium.The calm he deserved was restored.
Snape looked at the bound troll over there, and raised his wand again.
The troll wasn't worried at first. Although the spell looked scary, it was actually scary, but it didn't have a greater deterrent effect on him.
Just a little injury, not worth mentioning.The troll glanced at the bleeding manticore over there, and sneered inwardly.
If he was injured, if there is no more healing magic, this kind of injury will heal.
So when he looked at Snape, there was even a little bit of contempt in his eyes.
He was just caught without a fight, not without the ability to resist.
Of course, this toughness only lasted until he saw that little flickering green light.
"Stop! Stop! I want to see Dumbledore!"
The honest voice echoed in the auditorium, not loud, but enough for everyone present to hear.
So, those who knew a little bit looked at the giant monster with a monster-like expression.
"Fuck, the troll has spoken."
Luke was taken aback for a moment, and he almost didn't hold back his state of being a pure-blood leader.
He stared at the giant monster with wide-eyed eyes, and there was a light of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to slice the giant monster to see what was going on.
Hagrid also had a similar reaction. He looked at the troll with fiery eyes as if he saw his lover.
Although he has no lover...
His eyes made the troll feel a little terrified, but the way Snape looked at him made him feel chills.
Just when he said the name Dumbledore, he could clearly feel the astonishing killing intent in the eyes of the man in black robe.
"What is your relationship with Dumbledore?"
Snape asked in a low voice.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, not letting his emotions get out of control.Of course, if it was confirmed that Dumbledore had done something again without telling him, then he wondered if he could still suppress the anger in his heart.
Luke looked at Snape's emotional dust that was about to burn, and his fingers trembled.Now as long as you tease it a little, you will have a lot of fun watching it.
What would Snape look like out of control?
Luke was curious.
But he still restrained himself after all.Now is not the time.Snape's chess piece is useful to everyone.
If Snape were to be eliminated now, it would not be in his interest, and it would also be suspected of turning the tables.
Now he doesn't have the strength to flip the table.
The troll is a smart guy.Although this is a bit strange, there is no meaning of ridicule.
He was really smart, so he saw Snape's anger at a glance.
But no matter who you are angry with, if you don't answer well, then you must be the one who died first.
So he said without hesitation: "Someone asked me to send him a letter! It's just a letter!"
Snape's anger gradually dissipated, and his expression gradually returned to calm.But that doesn't mean he's easy to talk about.
"Send the letter... Who told you to send him the letter, where is the letter?"
"It's a message." After saying this, the troll's expression became serious, "As for who sent the message, it doesn't matter to you."
"Just say it again, believe me, if you kill me, you will never get any benefit from yourself."
Snape naturally scoffed at such a worthless threat.But when he noticed the Voldebat lying on the wall, but eager to try, and the manticore, which was already awake but lying on the ground with its tail gently wagging, he still couldn't help but pick it up. eyebrow.
He looked up and down this ordinary-looking monster, and said with great interest: "You seem to be of great research value."
The troll rolled his eyes: "I was raised by people, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The contempt in his tone was barely concealed.I don't know if I really have the confidence, or if I'm pretending to be fearless, or if I just have no brains.
Snape couldn't say for sure, but he really didn't mean to make trouble.
"Professor Spratt, please stay here and don't let anything bad happen again. I'm going to take this guy to meet our principal."
Professor Sprout could hear Snape's resentment, but she didn't know how to comfort him. In other words, Snape couldn't accept anyone's comfort.
The man who could comfort him had died that night.
And for many years before her death, she was unwilling to comfort that friend who had gone on the wrong path.
"Okay, leave it to me, Severus."
Professor Spratt agreed very simply, which in itself was her responsibility.In fact, it wasn't her who settled the scene, but Luke, the amazing student.
He really seemed to hold the students together as a whole, rather than four parts divided and hostile to each other.
More importantly, after today, this group of students who have become friends with each other will always get closer unconsciously.
This feeling may not be so obvious, but subtly, everyone will be affected.
Professor Sprout looked at a Slytherin student and a Gryffindor student who were supporting each other, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps such a change has already begun.
Professor Snape gave the troll a push and motioned him to go forward.
He dared not give his back to this untrustworthy beast.
The troll didn't care, and walked towards the door very naturally, without letting Snape lead the way, as if he was familiar with this place.
This also made Snape's doubts a little less.
He wasn't sure if the old man had the ability to cultivate such an intelligence that was no different from that of ordinary people, or even stronger than normal humans.But now, no matter what, he wanted to know more.
The situation is getting more and more complicated.
This might be his chance.
"Severus! How's the situation?"
Professor McGonagall trotted over from a distance, and when he saw Snape, he hurriedly asked.
Snape glanced at her, seeing the anxious look on her face.
"It's all right, Minerva. Of course, you can go and have a look, maybe you will be...surprised?"
Snape said such a sentence, then shook his head again, and then left with the troll without saying anything.Only Professor McGonagall was left in a state of confusion.
Finally, a group of people rushed back again.
As soon as Professor McGonagall came in, he immediately focused his attention on Luke who was standing in front of everyone.
Her first reaction was what was Luke doing standing so far forward?
The second reaction was to go up and grab Luke's ear, and ask what the little bastard was planning to do.
But when she noticed that the students were looking at Luke with eyes that were almost adoring, she resisted her urge.
In this case, she knew very well that she could not destroy Luke's authority.
Authority, unity, these are the things that Luke pursues.No interference from others is allowed.
Luke also saw Professor McGonagall over there.
He saw the entanglement on the professor's face, and he could also see the mixed emotional dust of the professor's annoyance, relief, and confusion.It is leaping, sometimes expanding, sometimes shrinking, and the colors are constantly changing.
But in the end, this cloud of dust still stayed above comfort.
A faint smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.
"It's all right, kids."
she shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at Professor McGonagall and the professors behind her.
The faces of the professors were full of sweat and expressions of relief.
It seemed that the moment they saw that they were safe and sound, they finally let go of the big rock in their hearts.
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and looked at Luke standing in front of everyone.
Although she was very angry just now, but now that she is safe and sound, the big stone in her heart has finally been let go.
She opened her arms as if to give Luke a hug.But she was a professor, and she couldn't show her special affection for Luke in front of so many students.
Luke seemed to see her struggle.Reaching out, she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Happy Halloween, Professor."
Luke said to Professor McGonagall with a smile.
Professor McGonagall looked at Luke, and with his other hand he took out a candy bar.
The magic power in his hand fluctuated, and the candy wrapper opened by itself, revealing the lake-green mint candy inside.
Pop the sugar into Luke's mouth.Professor McGonagall gently hugged Luke into his arms.
"Happy Halloween, Luke."
