Chapter 84 Don't Believe You Touch

Holidays always go by quickly, and before the snow on the ground in Devon has melted, there are snowflakes in the sky again.

The Christmas holiday was only three weeks long, and with the heavy snow after Christmas, Ed did not go out again, staying at home as an otaku.But Hermione wrote a letter to herself, the content is roughly:

On Christmas Day, Ed forgot his rabbit and she wanted to give it back to Ed.

Tori came back a long time ago, and bought a rabbit by the way and put it in Hermione's house.So, Ed generously gave the rabbit to Hermione.

When returning to school, Dad cut off Ed's desire to take the train, and took him directly to Hogsmeade Village, and then walked to Hogwarts.

Ed doesn't want to use the privilege, he's going on the train like everyone else!
Unfortunately, we can only wait for the next time.

The UK has a temperate maritime climate, so spring comes quickly.Many plants have begun to sprout and decorate the earth.

As for the animals, they may have to sleep for a few more days before waking up. After all, the plants still have to be given time to grow, just like cutting leeks, you have to cut them when they grow taller.

On the first day of school, all the students arrived.Hermione apologized to Ed because the rabbit was accidentally killed by her relative's child.

Ed comforted the girl that it was okay, but she wanted to treat herself to milk tea.

In the evening, when everyone was happily eating dinner and showing off the Christmas gifts they had received, suddenly the ground began to tremble, and heavy footsteps sounded outside the cafeteria.

Ed looked at the wooden door, and Decora, who was beside him, also turned his head to look at it, with a chicken leg still in his mouth.

"Is this a special welcome program for the beginning of school?" Harry asked Ron in a low voice, the footsteps sounded so scary, such a program should have been put on Halloween last year.

At the same time, Elizabeth, who was sitting on Ed's right, couldn't help leaning towards Ed, as if she felt more at ease.

With the footsteps getting heavier, the door was suddenly opened, and the Weasley twins ran in, shouting: "Headmaster! Headmaster! The troll is behind!!"

Seeing that it was the twins shouting, everyone relaxed and thought it was their prank.

Fred: "Principal, we didn't lie to you!"

George: "Yes, you have to trust us, this time it's real, the troll is behind."

After the twins finished speaking, they ran directly to the stage regardless of the school rules. They embraced each other and shivered by the desks of the professors:

"Filch was captured by a troll!"

"The troll is still chasing us!"

Professor McGonagall seemed to realize that his two students were not joking, and just stood up to ask.

"pong!", "pong!", "pong!"

Three loud bangs, like a battering ram hitting a gate.

At this time, the teachers all realized that the students near the gate stood up and ran back.But when the students rushed together, the outside voice disappeared.The entire hall fell into dead silence, and everyone's eyes were on the gate.

"Duang!"

A huge wooden club pierced a hole in the wooden door, and then the door collapsed, revealing the troll behind it.In order to break the door, the wooden stick got stuck in the door.The troll stepped on the collapsed wooden door with one foot, grasped the handle of the wooden stick tightly with both hands, and pulled it up vigorously, temporarily ignoring the students in the cafeteria.

The giant has no shirt on, so it is not easy to describe, because the author is afraid that another giant will appear and destroy the protagonists.The lower body is wrapped in a put together animal skin. It seems that this kind of creature whose IQ can only be attributed to animals will also be shy.

As for poor Filch, he was put in those disgusting underpants by the troll, with only one head sticking out.It looked like he had fainted.

Here is the description in the original book:
It was twelve feet tall, with dull, granite-gray skin, a huge, clumsy body like a giant heap of boulders, with a small head the size of a cocoa bean.Its short legs were thick as tree stumps, and underneath were large, flat, calloused feet.

In short, this is an unhygienic, foul-smelling, low-IQ, and ugly monster.

As soon as Snape drew out his wand on the teacher's side, he heard Papa Flamel's voice: "The sun is shining!"

A ball of light gathered at the tip of the wand, and then flew to the roof, followed by a blinding sun, which made the magic candle above the restaurant go out at once, and everyone squinted their eyes.

Then, the troll who saw the sun turned into a stone statue as if he had been petrified.

"Children, don't panic. Trolls are not scary things. They are stupid and ugly. As long as they find the right way, a first-year wizard can defeat them."

Dumbledore's reassuring voice sounded, he stood up and continued: "Trolls are afraid of the sun, as long as you master the sun spell, you can deal with them easily. In the next week, Professor Flitwick will teach How do you release the solar spell.

Of course, the premise is that your wand glow spell has been learned.All right, let's continue eating. "

Afterwards, the troll was carried out by the Hogwarts security personnel, and everyone began to eat in peace, but the topic of discussion changed from the gift to the troll.

Ed, Decora, and Elizabeth sat in their original positions, because when the wooden door was knocked, they were crowded by many people, like sardine cans, and there was no place to move.

"Huh, I was scared to death." Elizabeth let go of Ed's arm and patted his chest.

On the other side, Decora also let go of Ed's arm, and said to Elizabeth with a sigh of relief: "No, I was scared to death too. I want my father to find the school and ask Dumbledore to pay for it. Let it out."

"Is it so scary?" Rather than being nervous, Ed wants to study how a race that is afraid of the sun has multiplied to this day. Is this the source of the so-called "death by light"?
"That's not true!" Elizabeth's eyes widened. "He's so big and ugly, he's three times as tall as a human. How can I not be afraid?"

"Little girls are timid." Ed muttered, which made Decora quickly withdraw her words of agreement with Elizabeth.

"Oops!!! I don't want to eat!"

Elizabeth picked up the spoon and wanted to drink her bean porridge, but suddenly found that there were a few green beans in it that looked like the beans growing on the troll.

"Oh, it's just a giant monster. The giant even gave me presents. Don't worry if I'm here."

Ed is telling the truth, because of the relationship between Lemay's father, Ed will receive a large gift from the giant patriarch every Christmas.

"But I'm just scared! My heart is still beating!"

"It's scary if you don't dance."

Hearing Ed's words, Elizabeth stomped her little feet angrily, and watched Ed with her chin: "No, I mean, I'm afraid of my heart beating so hard, I feel uncomfortable!"

"I do not believe."

"Touch it if you don't believe me!"

The little girl's stubborn temper came up, and she insisted on proving that she was nervous, and at the same time Ed had to be nervous too.

It turns out that Ed was nervous when Elizabeth said this.Swallowing, looking at the justice on Elizabeth's chest:
"That's not good."
