duel day at hogwarts

Chapter 39 Reward and Punishment

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

As the troll's screams of pain and pleading spread out from the girls' bathroom, continuous and rhythmic banging sounds also continued to sound.

Snape and Professor McGonagall, who were looking for the troll, followed the smell. They listened to the sounds in the girls' washroom, and at the same time quickened their pace and rushed into the girls' washroom. What they saw made them both

A sight that surprised everyone.

At this time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing in the corner of the girls' bathroom, quite at a loss. Sean was using the Levitation Charm to control the troll's own stick, hitting the troll's head and body one after another.

And it can be clearly seen that the giant monster is also wrapped with many tough-looking thorns and vines.

The poor giant monster had been tortured and beaten for an unknown amount of time. The intensity of its screams and sounds had become very weak, and its face was even more bruised and covered in blood. Even the well-informed Snee

Pu and Professor McGonagall couldn't help but feel a little pity for the troll.

Originally, Professor McGonagall was very angry. She wanted to give a severe punishment to the few wizards who ignored the professor's orders and searched for the trolls. However, when she saw the scene in front of her, her emotions became somewhat incoherent.

"Boss, Mr. Bosted, please stop, this giant monster has no ability to resist."

"Really?" Sean turned his head, looked at Professor McGonagall, and said, "But the giant monster looked really scary just now. I think his current appearance is probably an act."

"Please believe me, Mr. Bursted, the troll's brain means that it has no ability to pretend at all, so you have already subdued it, don't beat it anymore."

While Professor McGonagall was speaking, Dumbledore, Flitwick and other professors also rushed over one after another. They looked at the giant monster lying on the ground crying sadly, and then looked at the giant monster standing in front of it.

Sean always felt that the scene in front of him was a bit inconsistent.

But as long as the troll was subdued, and none of the children here were injured, every professor can accept this result.

After the emotion passed, Professor McGonagall regained her composure. She looked at the three Harrys and Sean standing here, and her anger couldn't help but surge up again.

"When we were in the auditorium just now, the professors told you to go back to your common room and stay well. Why did you come here on your own initiative? You are lucky not to be killed by this giant monster!

"Having said this, Professor McGonagall suddenly remembered the fate of this giant monster, and her emotions were interrupted again. The words of reprimand that followed were immediately unable to be uttered.

"Professor McGonagall..." Hermione took a step forward, came to Professor McGonagall, and whispered in a low voice: "Actually, this thing is all my fault. I have seen a lot of introductions about trolls in books.

I thought I knew enough about it, but then I discovered that the trolls in reality are very different from those written in the book. If Harry and Ron...and Sean weren't worried about me and came here to find me, then I...

…

They saved me. Harry poked the troll's nose with his wand and was picked up by the troll. Ron protected me and took me away from the troll's hands. Sean came in from behind and defeated the troll.

, they saved me.”

After hearing Hermione's explanation, the anger on Professor McGonagall's face softened slightly. Professor McGonagall admired Hermione very much, a child with excellent academic performance. She even saw the shadow of her own youth in Hermione.

, equally excellent, equally eager to learn, so Professor McGonagall can always be a little more tolerant towards Hermione.

"Miss Granger, how can you, a silly child, think so? What is written in the book is always different from reality. How can you defeat a giant monster like a mountain by yourself? I have to deduct the qualification for this.

Five points more for Lanffindor as punishment for your private actions. As for the others..."

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry, Ron, and Sean, and was considering whether to deduct points from them.

At this time, Dumbledore came to Professor McGonagall and said: "Minerva, don't be too harsh on them. Although I admit that a certain degree of severity will help the children learn a lesson and grow better, but in this case

In fact, I think they have learned their lesson, haven't they?"

Having said this, Dumbledore looked at Harry and Ron and said: "Harry and Ron dare to find and protect their friends, and for this they do not hesitate to confront the trolls. For their courage, I miss them."

Worth five points from everyone!”

Dumbledore secretly winked at Harry and smiled encouragingly at Harry and Ron. However, before Dumbledore could finish smiling, Snape interrupted Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, I think Sean should have defeated this troll!" Snape's tone contained a rare hint of dissatisfaction.

After hearing Snape's words, Dumbledore immediately smiled and said to Snape: "Of course, Severus, this troll was mainly defeated by Sean, but before that, Harry and Ron also paid

It is a fact that cannot be erased because of one’s own actions, isn’t it?”

Snape sneered at this and did not intend to comment. It was no secret that Dumbledore favored Gryffindor, especially after the savior Harry Potter entered Gryffindor, Dumbledore's favoritism became even more serious.

It's obvious.

Dumbledore looked at Sean, with the kind and gentle smile still on his face, and said: "Sean, in just the first grade, he defeated a troll head-on. Even many adult wizards may not be able to do it.

For this reason, I will add ten points to your Slytherin status. I hope you will not take this as encouragement. If something like this happens again, I still hope you can listen to the professor and take refuge as soon as possible."

"I remember it, thank you Professor."

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, looked at the situation at this time, and said again: "Okay, Severus and Minerva, you two go back with your students, and leave this place to us.

Already."

Professor McGonagall responded, and Snape took Sean away directly.

Not far away, Snape said to Sean in a voice that could be heard by others, containing a hint of anger: "Sean Burst, I hope that next time you want to do something, don't

Instead of being like a reckless and impulsive Gryffindor, you can be like a calm and wise Slytherin, do you understand?"

"I understand, Professor, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Worried?" Snape snorted clearly and said: "Don't use your Gryffindor-like brain to figure out my thoughts. I'm not worried about you, I'm just afraid that you'll give Slytherin another chance."

Deduction of points, delaying Slytherin’s seventh consecutive championship, nothing more!”
