Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 29 Professor Tour Group

Before Harry could say anything to Hermione, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the girls' bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Snape burst into the bathroom, holding his wand tightly, followed by Ron.

"Harry!" Professor Snape shouted loudly before he could stand still, with indescribable anxiety in his voice.

"Professor, I'm here!" Harley responded loudly, scattering the ice and black flames around her feet.

Hermione immediately struggled to stand up from Harry's arms and quickly dusted herself off.

Professor Snape finally saw everything in the bathroom.

His eyes first turned around twice on Harley.

Professor Snape breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Harry was only disgraced and his clothes were dirty, but had no obvious injuries.

Then, Professor Snape noticed the troll on the floor and couldn't help but gasp.

Ron was trying hard to hide his figure, as if he wanted to shrink into the shadows.

"What happened? Harry, why are you here? Do you know how dangerous it is here?" Professor Snape asked a barrage of questions.

"Professor." Harry thought for a moment and then replied, "I came to see Hermione. She was crying in the bathroom because of something, so I came to comfort her.

As a result, we happened to encounter a troll, but luckily, I successfully defeated it. "

After hearing this, Professor Snape seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.

In the end, Professor Snape chose to squat down directly and look at the corpse of the giant monster.

Harry was just about to comfort Hermione who was in shock again, when a new voice sounded outside the corridor again.

A moment later, Professor McGonagall also rushed into the bathroom, followed by Professor Quirrell and Professor Flitwick.

After seeing the giant monster lying on the ground, Professor McGonagall's face turned pale instantly.

Professor Quirrell only glanced at the troll, then let out a weak sob, his body shook slightly, and then he fell on a toilet, clutching his chest tightly.

Harley glanced at him strangely. Hermione didn't have such a big reaction when she saw this giant monster. She could only say that Professor Quirrell was not a good actor.

As for Professor Flitwick, he also joined Professor Snape, pointing his wand at the troll and muttering something.

"What happened here?" Professor McGonagall's cold voice was filled with irrepressible anger.

"Miss Potter, Miss Granger, I need an explanation.

Why don't you just stay in the dormitory instead of showing up in this place and staying with a giant monster? "

At this time, Professor McGonagall also noticed Ron in the shadow, so he added:

"And Mr. Weasley, I think you should also explain to me the reason why you are here."

Ron's face instantly turned as pale as Professor McGonagall's, but the reasons for their turning pale may be different.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Just as Harry was about to speak, Hermione spoke first: "Professor McGonagall, it's my problem."

"Miss Granger?"

"That's it, Professor McGonagall. Because my progress in learning magic is always not as good as Harry's, and my grades in all subjects are not as good as hers.

So I was so sad that I ran out here...crying and ended up missing Halloween dinner.

It turned out that Harley heard the news from other classmates, so she came to comfort me. Hermione said softly,

"When we wanted to leave the bathroom, we happened to encounter a troll. However, Harley successfully...killed it.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Snape rushed in with Ron, seemingly because he heard the loud noise here. "

Harry understood immediately that Hermione was excusing Ron.

Ron seemed to realize this, and a look of gratitude immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly added:

"Professor McGonagall, I didn't see Harry and Hermione at the Halloween dinner, so I thought they didn't know there was a troll in the castle.

Therefore, I left the Gryffindor army to find them, and met Professor Snape on the way. "

As he spoke, Ron was glad in his heart that he did not tell Professor Snape the real situation, and Hermione also covered up the truth for him.

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall looked a little better:

"Oh - if that's the case..." Professor McGonagall looked at them and murmured in a low voice,

"Miss Granger, you silly girl. How can you come here and cry for such a trivial reason?

You have to be more confident, your grades are also very good, not much worse than Miss Potter! "

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall took out her handkerchief, walked up to Hermione, and gently wiped the dust and tears from her face.

"Hermione," Professor McGonagall said softly while wiping, "you have to remember that you are no worse than anyone else.

You are among the best among all the students I have ever taught. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?

If you feel you are under psychological pressure, you are welcome to talk to me. My office door is always open to you. "

Hermione's face turned red unconsciously.

After Professor McGonagall finished all this, she stood up and looked at Harry: "Harry, well done.

Not many first-year students can compete with an adult troll.

You go back to Gryffindor Tower as soon as possible! The students are all having Halloween dinner in their colleges.

Same for you, Ron. "

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she thought for a moment and added another sentence: "Harry defeated the troll alone and protected her classmates, Fifteen points for Gryffindor.

Ron thought of his classmates in critical moments and took the initiative to inform Gryffindor by adding five points. "

Ron's face instantly turned from pale to red, keeping the same color as his hair. He quickly ran out of the toilet.

Harry and Hermione also apologized to Professor McGonagall. Afterwards, Harry helped Hermione, whose legs were a little weak, and they left the bathroom.

After watching the three people leave, Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick:

"Severus, Filius, did you find anything?"

……

After leaving the bathroom, Ron was waiting for the two of them at the end of the corridor.

When he saw Hermione and Harry, he blushed and thanked them in a low voice: "Thank you for not telling the truth to Professor McGonagall."

"It's nothing." Hermione said softly, "Didn't you also think that we might be in danger, so you ran over to find us?"

"That's different." Ron's face turned red, "I made a mistake this afternoon, which made you so sad.

If I hadn't said such outrageous things, you wouldn't have been in danger tonight.

So...so I want to apologize to you, I'm sorry! "

Ron seemed to use all his strength to shout these words, and then rushed up the stairs without looking back.
