When Professor McGonagall rushed into the toilet, she was greeted with a comical sight-a huge, twisting, troll-shaped mummy. It was tightly wrapped in layers of white linen and could not move. It could only wriggle on the ground like a bug.
Next to it, Hermione, who still had tears in her eyes, was trying to turn toilet paper into linen with the Transfiguration Charm under Ye Ting's guidance. Then, she used the Movement Charm and Levitation Charm to control the linen to tie a bow on the " mummy."
The scene was so bizarre that even Professor McGonagall, who had been around for a long time, could not figure out what had happened. Two young wizards had defeated a full-grown troll!
Then Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell rushed in, panting.
The two professors looked at the bound troll, equally shocked and speechless.
"What kind of trick are you playing?”said Professor McGonagall, her voice cold and angry.
"You guys are lucky this time. You didn't get killed by it. Why don't you just stay in your dorms?”
"This is exactly what I wanted to ask." Ye Ting asked Professor McGonagall in the same angry tone,""Hermione was almost killed by this troll before I got here, and I can't believe what would've happened if I'd been a minute late. Why would the academy leave a troll in the corridor? Where did you put the safety of the students?”
He wasn't pretending; he was really angry, partly because he blamed himself for not protecting Hermione well enough, even though he knew it was going to happen.
Because of the butterfly effect, Hermione did not have Harry Potter or Ron Weasley to help her this time, and if he had been a step late, he would have been faced with a real tragedy-a tragedy caused by the butterfly effect he had created.
If it had been Harry or anyone else who had been caught in the butterfly effect, he would have been sad for a minute at most, and then it would have been over-it was impossible for a Transmigrator not to have caused the butterfly effect anyway, and he had no reason to be responsible for it, but this time it was not a stranger who had been caught in the accident, but someone he cared about-Hermione Granger.
He swore he would be more careful in the future, and he also decided to train Hermione and Cho later, and Penelope if necessary.
The three girls had yet to realize what kind of tough training they were going to face.
On the other hand, he was also angry at Hogwarts 'lack of defense. The Harry Potter series spanned eight years, and every year there were accidents at Hogwarts.
As an audience, he felt that these accidents were very interesting and enriched the story. However, now that he was a Hogwarts student and had someone he cared about, these endless accidents made him feel that his future was full of danger.
He could not wait to increase his strength so that he could protect others. At the same time, he also hoped that Hogwarts would take more measures and be more cautious. Of course, this was impossible.
Hearing Ye Ting's question, Professor McGonagall's attitude unexpectedly softened. She apologized to Ye Ting and then began to calmly ask about what had happened.
Ye Ting remained silent in a fit of pique, while Hermione described everything that had happened.
Then, she began to plead with Ye Ting,""Professor McGonagall, all of this happened because I came for the troll, because I-I thought I could deal with it alone-you know, because I've read about them and I know them. If Ye Ting hadn't arrived in time, I might have died.
"Please don't be angry with him because of what he said just now. Ye Ting didn't mean to refute you. He was just worried about me and was too emotional.”
"Well-if that's the case..." Professor McGonagall mused, watching them."Miss Granger, you silly girl, how could you think you could handle a mountain troll by yourself?”
Hermione hung her head. She was the least likely person to break the school rules, and now, in order to get Ye Ting out of trouble, she actually lied and said that she had broken the school rules.
What a good little girl. She was usually proud and respected her teachers. For the first time, she learned to lie, quibble, and plead.
"Miss Granger, Ravenclaw will lose five points for this," said Professor McGonagall."I'm very disappointed in you. If you're not hurt at all, you'd better get back to Ravenclaw Tower. The students were all enjoying a halloween dinner in their own houses.”
Professor McGonagall turned to Ye Ting.
"Well, I'd still say you're lucky that very few first years can take on a full-grown troll. You've earned Ravenclaw ten points. I'll let Professor Dumbledore know.”
Ye Ting pulled Hermione out of the room and walked towards the college. When they turned the first corner, where the professors couldn't see, Hermione suddenly threw herself into Ye Ting's arms and hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.
The giant monster's fatal blow had frightened her. At the scene, she was too emotional to notice it. Now that she had recovered, that thrilling scene lingered in her mind again and again, making it impossible for her to forget. Therefore, she could only seek a sense of security from Ye Ting.
Ye Ting kissed her forehead lovingly, then carried her all the way to the Ravenclaw lounge.
When she heard the footsteps and voices of the others, Hermione finally reacted. She left his arms with a flushed face and jogged back to the lounge first.
