[HP] Blast! Word Small Universe

When Jane found Hermione, she was hiding in the women's room and crying. The Halloween dinner was about to begin. She thought that Hermione should have been relieved emotionally after crying all afternoon, but unexpectedly, it was Ron's words Hermione seemed particularly hurt until Jane saw her with swollen eyes wiping tears.

"I thought you wouldn't care about other people's opinions, but seeing your current state, I think I was wrong." Jane took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Hermione, and couldn't help but think of Zhirui taking care of herself in Zhongtian Realm look.Zhirui is the first sword fairy in Zhongtian Realm, and she was already in Zhongtian Realm before she was conceived.It was also Zhirui who found her under the Zhongtian God Tree, and she has been by her side ever since.The relationship with Zhirui Jane feels that they are not just a friendship, but more that she regards her as a sister, because she has been taking care of Zhirui from the first time she saw her.Just like now, she is comforting a crying little girl.Jane stopped her wild thoughts and let Hermione's head rest on her shoulder, just like Zhirui did to her every time she was sad thousands of years ago: "Ron's words are not the standard by which to judge everything, at least I think we're friends."

Hermione sniffed, and her voice was hoarse: "I'm doing this for their own good, they are always breaking school rules! They will be expelled from school."

"I know." Jane said, "But they don't know the problem."

Hermione didn't speak, she was extremely frustrated with Harry and Ron's affairs.

"Have you ever heard a story called "The Gift of the Magi"①?" Jane let go of her hand and leaned on the sink: "This story tells a little story that happened in a family at Christmas. I I think you should ask Mrs. Pince to take a look if you have time, maybe you will be able to understand why there is a conflict between you and them. In the story, the hero Jim is a small clerk with a hard life, and the heroine Della is a Virtuous and kind housewives. Their lives are poor, but Jim and Della each have a very precious treasure. Jim has a gold watch from his ancestors, and Della has a beautiful waterfall-like hair. In order to be able to give to As a gift from the other party, Jim sold his gold watch and bought a set of combs made of pure tortoiseshell with jewels on the side for Della, and Della sold her long hair to buy a platinum comb for Jim. fob chains. They both gave up their most precious things for each other, and the gifts they exchanged were rendered useless."

Even if Hermione hasn't read this book yet, she also understands what Jane wants to say.

"You stop them from violating the school rules and keep them from being expelled. This is a completely correct way." Jane said, "But I don't think they like you caring about them in this way, just like in the story, Della Lost his hair, Jim sold his gold watch, it's the same thing. If you want to help them, why don't you try to do it in a way they can accept? Use your wits and make sure they don't get kicked out of school. As it was said that night, Gryffindors lack courage, but wisdom."

"Okay, I understand." Hermione wanted to return Jane's handkerchief to her, but found that the handkerchief had been soiled by herself: "I will wash it clean."

Jane didn't care, but she found that since she came to Hogwarts, she had already given out the second handkerchief - children really like to cry more.

"Okay, I think we should go to the Halloween dinner, and we should still be able to find something to eat by now." Jane grabbed Hermione's hand and wanted to leave the women's room.

"No." Hermione stood there motionless, she stood there awkwardly, and said uneasily, "I must be ugly now."

Jane looked at Hermione's red and swollen eyes, with mottled tears on her face, and nodded: "I think we can go to the common room, you wait for me in the lounge, and I will go to the auditorium to get things."

"Thank you, Jane." Hermione was extremely grateful that Jane could be by her side at this time.

But before Jane and Hermione had time to get out of the women's bathroom, they heard heavy footsteps coming from the end of the corridor, as if something huge was approaching them.

The torches in the corridor illuminated a huge black shadow at the corner at the end of the corridor, Jane frowned slightly, she didn't understand why such a thing would suddenly appear in Hogwarts.Isn't it said that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world?But why doesn't she agree with such a point of view now!

Just when Jane cursed that she would encounter such a weird thing at Hogwarts, Hermione couldn't help screaming, but she quickly covered her mouth.But no matter how quickly Hermione covered her, the presence of the two of them caught the monster's attention.

Jane doesn't know this kind of thing, because no matter in heaven or hell, or even in the blood race, she has never seen such an ugly and silly looking thing.

"It's a troll!" Although Jane couldn't recognize it, Hermione could recognize what it was at a glance.

The troll was twelve feet tall, its skin was dull and dull, and its bulky body was like a huge pile of mud.It held a thick wooden stick in its hand, and Jane didn't doubt at all that falling down that wooden stick would definitely crack her skull and splatter blood.

Hermione drew her wand and threw a few spells at the troll.But the troll's skin is too thick, and these spells hit his body like tickling.But Hermione's actions clearly enraged the troll, who lumbered towards them with his stick held high.

Jane pulled out her wand and blocked Hermione behind her. She guessed that ordinary magic attacks might not have much impact on the troll.So Jane used magic to direct some boxes, water pipes and other things in the women's toilet to fly towards the troll.

"I attracted its attention, you go and tell the professor!" Jane controlled the old water pipes to block the sight of the troll, and pushed Hermione with her hand.

"No, I can't go!" Hermione refused in panic.

"If you don't ask someone for help, maybe both of us will die here." Jane's face was cold, and she didn't know how long she could hold on: "Quick, I'll hold it here."

Hermione took a deep look at Jane. Although she didn't want to leave now and let Jane face the danger alone, she knew that what Jane said was right, and she had to find the professor to help.Gritting her teeth, Hermione ran towards the troll.

In order to allow Hermione to pass safely, Jane controlled the water pipes to attack only one side of the troll.

The troll was so absorbed in the water pipes that it didn't even notice someone slipping past its feet.

Hermione ran down the hallway, meeting Harry and Ron head on.

Harry and Ron were supposed to go back to the dormitory, but after hearing Professor Lodge's words, they remembered that Jane and Hermione were still in the women's room, so the two of them left the team to find them.Both boys couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Hermione.

"Go back to the lounge." Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and wanted to take her away. He didn't want to meet the professor at this time.

"No, Jane, she's still in the women's room." Hermione spoke intermittently, and the violent running made her breathless: "There are... there are mountain monsters!"
