Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

After saying that, he yawned, and Dabu walked back into the room unhurriedly, no longer looking at the three of them, and lay back on the bed quietly, and began to finish the sweet dream he had just woken up from.

"When you leave later, remember to close the door. Thank you."

“…”

“…”

“…”

Harry, Draco and Ron all looked at each other in confusion. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long time, Draco was the first to muster up the courage and slowly walked out of the room, heading towards the direction where the three of them had just run.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When he raised his eyes, Draco's pupils suddenly shrank together, and the expression on his face began to change a bit, and finally stayed at shock...

"Draco...what's wrong?"

Inside the room, seeing all the changes in Draco's expression, Ron and Harry's heartbeats, which had just eased a bit, couldn't help but start up again.

Harry and Ron clenched their hands subconsciously, feeling the cold sweat in their hands, and couldn't help but ask

"He...that giant monster..."

It seemed as if he was frightened by something. For a moment, Draco couldn't even speak clearly and normally. He could only turn his head and look at the two of them, while trying his best to suppress the turbulent shock in his heart.

, while trying intermittently to explain to the two of them what they saw.

"Tsk... Oh, just die!"

Finally, Ron, who was still impatient, interrupted Draco, took Harry's hand, mustered up the courage, and stepped out of the room together, looking in the direction Draco had just seen.

The next second... "Hiss!!!" sounded, Harry and Ron's eyes widened at the same time, and they sucked in a breath of cold air.

"This...this..."

At this moment, Ron seemed to finally understand why Draco behaved the way he did.

Because now, even he doesn't know what to say when he opens his mouth to summarize the scene in front of him.

I saw that the giant monster that was so alive and ferocious a few minutes ago has now completely lost its movement, and even life or death is unknown...

A huge hole sunk half a meter inward appeared on the thick wall, and the giant monster at this moment was deeply embedded in it. It drooped its head, and its limbs hung limply. Even the root

The hard and terrifying wooden sticks fell to the side and lay alone on the ground. The ferocious feeling when they were chasing the three people was no longer there.

"How...how..."

Harry's heart was beating violently, and an unknown complex feeling flowed from his caudal bones straight to his brain, making him tremble.

While stammering, Harry turned his head repeatedly and looked at Ron and then Draco, as if he wanted to get a reasonable explanation from his companion.

But this time, Draco did not give him a patient reply.

After a long while, Draco tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and barely returned to his previous posture. Draco took two steps forward and came to the side of the giant monster bit by bit.

After eliminating the distance, we were able to see clearly the entirety of the giant monster at this moment, and the loud rumbling sound that nearly shook the wall just now had an explanation...

I saw... an obviously abnormal depression on the giant monster's chest, which shattered its sternum and severely "nailed" it into the wall.

Apart from that, there was no trace of any scars on the troll's body...Draco closed his eyes and trembled in his heart, recalling the moment when the elf walked out of the door and met the troll.

Everything that happened after the meeting.

He walked forward and calmly stared at the giant monster running towards him. Then, just as they were about to collide, the giant monster waved its stick vigorously - the elf raised his hand!

It was just one blow... Although he didn't know what method was used, in his imagination, that blow overturned the giant monster with an unparalleled crushing force! Apart from that, there were no other unnecessary movements.

.

Thinking of this, Draco opened his eyes again and slowly exhaled a breath.

He started running again, full of doubts, and ran back to the room he was in.

He clung to the wooden doorframe with his fingers, staring blankly at the figure lying quietly on the big bed, and asked hard

"Who are you?!"

"Dabu - from Charlie's Candy Factory, currently being transferred out and assigned to manage the candy vending machines in Hogwarts."

………………………………

Draco and the other three were not kept waiting for too long. Soon, Hermione hurriedly led a few professors and arrived here.

"Guys!!"

At this time, Hermione could already hear a bit of crying in her voice. She didn't care about anything else and hugged the three of them. After waiting for a while, she finally raised her head and began to look carefully.

Various injuries appeared on the bodies of the three people.

Fortunately, although the three of them looked quite embarrassed at this time, they actually did not suffer any major injuries. Most of them were scratches, and the most serious one was Draco who was exhausted... except for

Apart from this, there is nothing else.

"I just... I was holding the cake for you and wanted to go back to the dormitory..."

There were still some tears in Hermione's eyes. It could be seen that she was really worried about the safety of the three people.

While sobbing with fright, she continued

"As a result, I heard the roar...and your calls for help. Without thinking much, I hurried back to the auditorium and called the dean and the others over -"

As she said that, she looked at the terrifying and ferocious monster behind the three of them. The tears in her eyes suddenly couldn't stop, and they fell out like pearls with broken strings.

"I'm sorry...guys, if I were with you, then..."

Seeing this, the three people who had just escaped from danger had to pretend to be at ease and hurriedly coaxed the crying Hermione.

"It's okay. We are all fine. There really is nothing wrong with us."

"Yes, yes, really, it's just a giant monster! Look at me, even if I encounter another one in my current state, there will be no problem!"

"Okay... everything is over..."

………………

And just as the four people hugged each other, the professors who came behind Hermione also stopped not far away.

"Troll...?"

Dumbledore's face no longer showed any trace of kindness and kindness.

When he stopped smiling, his thick eyebrows and beard drooped directly, showing an expression of calm and self-power.

Dumbledore furrowed his brows, said nothing else, and walked slightly, bypassing the four young wizards and coming to the giant monster that was nailed to the wall.

Looking at the trauma on the troll body, even Dumbledore couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a while, but soon, he seemed to realize something, lowered his head, and began to dig among the broken wall tiles and stones. Looking for something.

Sure enough, after a while, Dumbledore's eyes lit up, as if he had found what he was looking for. He bent down, took a palm-sized ball into his hand, and then quietly put it close to the robe. pocket………

"Okay, Hermione, please give way first..."

Professor McGonagall saw that there were no problems with the three of them, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then he put the wand in his hand back into his pocket, stepped forward, and interrupted the exchange between the four of them.

"Three gentlemen..."

Professor McGonagall's expression was particularly serious. After sweeping her eyes over Draco, Harry, and Ron, she asked

"You three... why are you here?"

"us……"

Draco raised his head and looked into McGonagall's eyes. He clearly saw worry and fear in the sternness, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and was about to explain when suddenly, a voice interrupted him. !

"It's...it's me! It's...it's me who punishes them...they clean the toilet..."

Quirrell's feet flew quickly, causing his robe to flutter in the wind.

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran to Mag's side, and then knelt down directly, pressed Draco's head, and pulled him firmly into his arms.

At this moment, the tears on his face could not stop flowing down, even compared to Hermione, it seemed even worse.

While crying, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, stammering his confession.

"I...I didn't expect...to encounter such a thing...I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I really..."

However, at this moment, facing Quirrell holding him in his arms, Draco could not feel any warmth at all. He only felt a chill covering his whole body from top to bottom, calling him Cold sweat could not stop dripping from his forehead.

"It's definitely him"

Draco's chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily. This idea suddenly popped into his mind, and he firmly believed it.

"It's definitely the troll he brought - he wants to kill me, he wants to kill Harry, he wants to kill Ron!!"

Thinking of this, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body. He couldn't help but take two steps back. With an ugly look on his face, he broke away from Quirrell's strong embrace and returned to Hermione and the others, as if this could give him The heart brings some good feelings...

Professor McGonagall didn't think much about it. He just thought it was because he was frightened. He shook his head and said

"It's not your fault, Quirrell. No one would have thought that a troll would take advantage of this time to run into Hogwarts... But we will definitely investigate and there must be an explanation for this matter!"

After saying that, Professor McGonagall looked at the three of them again, but this time, her eyes were much softer.

"Okay, as for the three of you... you will go to the campus hospital today to stay under observation for one night."

………………………………

The situation was quickly brought under control, and several professors worked together to pull out the giant monster embedded in the wall, and then restored all the damaged areas bit by bit.

Finally, after recounting in detail the cause and effect of what happened, Principal Dumbledore directly allowed them to leave first and go to the school infirmary to treat their wounds, and promised to give Slytherin House and Gryffindor House respectively.

Fifty points bonus.

At this point, the matter has finally come to an end...

At night, after treating the wounds on his body and drinking a bottle of soothing potion, Draco, Harry, and Ron lay side by side on the bed in the infirmary.

Looking at the scene outside the window that was completely different from that of their own dormitory, the three of them seemed to have not recovered from the thrill not long ago. They kept their eyes open and each of them did not know what they were thinking about.

After a long period of silence, with the bright moonlight shining in, Draco sat up first and spoke frankly.

"It's Quirrell..."

After hearing this, Harry couldn't help but put on his glasses, half-supported his body with his arms, and looked in Draco's direction.

"You mean, he did it for..."

Obviously, although Harry doesn't usually like to study, he is not a stupid child. Just for a moment, he thought of what he and Draco encountered that night, opened his mouth, and asked with some hesitation.

"Qui Luo is the dark shadow we met...he wants to silence us!?"

"Um……"

Seeing all the trustworthy people in front of him, Draco did not hide anything anymore, his eyes were solemn and he nodded solemnly.

Ron on the side suddenly felt chilly. He subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face and said in a muffled voice.

"Then...then what should we do? If he doesn't succeed this time, will there be another time? You know, I'm afraid he won't have such good luck next time!

It's not always possible for us to get into the right room..."

Draco closed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said

"I will write a letter tomorrow and tell my father and uncle about this...my uncle told me clearly before that Quirrell would not do anything to me. I guess something went wrong somewhere."

After hearing this, Harry nodded hard. As the number one "Black Blower" besides Draco, he would never believe that Mr. Charlie Black would try to harm them.

"Okay, go to sleep, I'm sleepy!"

After saying everything to his two companions, with a "Peng" sound, Draco lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Well, good night"

"Then I'll go to sleep too...Good night, brothers."

After saying good night to each other, there was no more sound and silence returned.

The bright moonlight shines through the shadows of the trees outside the window into the school infirmary, casting a slightly mottled moonlight on the beds of three people...

Even as he said this, Draco did not close his eyes, and even Harry and Ron were quietly staring at the ceiling in the night.

Listening to their breathing, they all knew that the other person was the same as themselves at this moment, but still no one said anything.

In this way, the sound of branches slapping against the window became the only embellishment in the quiet night.
