Superman at Hogwarts

Hogwarts' Little Superman - Chapter 035 [Hermione's First Kill]

Percy stood at the end of the dining table and said,"Lions, follow me! Follow me!"

Kerry walked out with the crowd. Hermione was a little flustered and followed Kerry forward. The two of them held hands unconsciously.

When they walked out of the hall, Kerry said to Hermione,"Do you want to see the troll?"

Hermione glanced at Kerry and whispered,"Are you kidding?"

"There are three types of trolls: mountain trolls, forest trolls, and river trolls. Trolls are usually twelve feet tall (author's note: about 3.5 meters) and can weigh more than one ton!

Its legs are very thick, and underneath are flat, rough, calloused feet. Trolls have very long arms, and their bodies emit a disgusting stench. Moreover, trolls are very emotionally unstable, easily get angry, and often attack for no reason."

Hermione said as she walked,"Are you sure you can fight such a behemoth? If you want to go, it's best to write a will in advance so that I can bring it to your parents! But because trolls eat people, your parents may only be able to bury an empty coffin in your cemetery!"

"Of course I'm sure!" Kerry raised his eyebrows and said in a contemptuous tone:"I'm not kidding, now is the best time to add points for Gryffindor!"

Hermione was shocked:"Are you really not kidding?"

"I never joke with people. Do you remember the"Roll Forward" in my spell class? Even in the worst case scenario, as long as I hold the wand, I can at least guarantee the safety of both of us!" Kerry said.

Hermione seemed to struggle for a long time, and whispered:"Then let me trust you once! If we die, I really hope my parents will not be sad."

"Hahaha!" Kerry laughed out loud:"Cute little girl!"

The two of them made a plan, and while the mess of people were heading to the dormitory, Kerry pulled Hermione and the other two, and the three of them went around to a secluded corridor.

"I remember there is a small staircase here that goes directly to the basement, if you really want to take a look." Hermione said

"No, on the contrary, we are not going to the basement, we are going to the bathroom on the second floor!" Kerry walked upstairs.

"Why? Aren't you going to fight the troll? Do you want to take a bath first?" Hermione looked confused.

"The troll is on the second floor! It's not in the basement at all! Because it didn't enter Hogwarts from the outside, on the contrary, it came down from the third floor!" Kerry explained:"Do you remember when the school started, Dumbledore warned us that no student could go to the corridor at the end of the third floor? That's where the troll is imprisoned!"

"Merlin's beard! That means you have already encountered a troll!"Hermione was very smart and guessed the key immediately

"Not only that, I almost killed it!" Kerry shrugged.

"It sounds very exciting!" Hermione immediately relaxed from her nervousness and instantly became excited.

"But how do you know the troll is on the second floor? Did you bring the troll out? Hermione's head turned and she immediately had a question.

"My hearing is very good, I can hear sounds hundreds of meters away!

Although usually, because of the shielding effect of Hogwarts, I can hardly hear sounds ten meters away, but the footsteps of the troll are so heavy that the magic of the castle cannot produce effective shielding.

Although you can't hear it, to me, it's just like thunder!

"Kerry explained that Hogwarts has magical shielding everywhere-for example, every teacher's office has special magic, and outsiders can't get in unless they use extremely strong violence.

With such magical shielding, the sound is also blocked, so Kerry's super hearing is almost useless in Hogwarts. He can usually only hear the movements in the adjacent room, and it is almost useless for places farther away.

Just as Kerry said, the giant's footsteps are now coming along the corridor, mixed with some infrasound-a sound that only certain animals can hear-this part of the infrasound is so obvious that Kerry doesn't even need to open his eyes to determine the location of the troll.

""Right in front!" Kerry made a hushing gesture to Hermione, and at this moment Hermione also heard the footsteps of the troll.

One taller than the other, they poked their heads out from the corner of the wall. The troll, who was as big as a hill, was holding a mace and walking towards the bathroom from the other end. Although it was still far away, the terrifying posture made people feel scared, especially the huge mace - it must be at least two meters long and fifty centimeters in diameter at its widest point.

"I think we'd better leave right now!" Hermione was frightened. The troll looked much scarier than the description in the book.

"Do you have your wand with you?" Kerry asked

"Of course, wizards cannot be separated from their wands - but I don't think this is our focus! We definitely can't defeat it! Run!" Hermione retracted her head, looking panicked and a little nervous.

"Do you remember our Gryffindor motto?" Kerry looked at Hermione and motioned her to relax."Let's say it together - we are curious, we are reckless, we are……"

Hermione continued Kerry's words at this point:"Go ahead, Gryffindor!"

"YES！"Kerry raised his eyebrows and said,"In fact, it is very simple to deal with the giant monster. It only takes a few very simple spells!

Although the giant monster is huge, its movements are slow. Its real lethality is only���The mace in the middle, so the most important thing is that we have to take away its weapon!"

"In addition, more than 90% of the giant monster's attacks rely on the eyes, so as long as we attack the eyes, we are almost invincible."

"The trolls don't wear shoes, so they hate walking in places full of thorns. Similarly, they can't walk on ice that is too smooth, which will make their bodies lose balance!"

Kerry said to Hermione calmly,"These are the trolls' weaknesses. Do you think we can arrange some tactics to attack them?"

Hermione's big eyes kept turning, staring at the wall, her head was brewing something quickly, and after waiting for about thirty or forty seconds, she raised her head and said,"First, we can take off one of our clothes, use the [Sticking Spell], stick it on the troll's eyes to block its sight, and before he can react, use the [Disarming Spell] to disarm it, and finally use [Obstacles] to stop it!"

"But I don't know the Disarming Spell!" Hermione said anxiously.

Kerry corrected Hermione's old-fashioned idea and said,"Why do we have to use the Disarming Spell? Our goal is to make it lose control of the weapon! Not to [disarm your weapon]."】！"

"The Disarming Charm is usually only used in battles between wizards - its main target is the person holding the weapon, because the wand is too thin and small to be effectively aimed directly - but we are dealing with a troll now - we can aim directly at its weapon, think about it, what other spells can be used?"

"【Roll forward】【Levitation spell】【Fall to the ground with a sound】！"Hermione reacted very quickly, and immediately thought of three appropriate spells after Kerry gave her a reminder.

Rolling Forward could turn the mace into a whirlwind, and maybe she could use the troll's mace to directly knock the troll down;

Levitation could make the mace fly into the sky like a balloon, and the troll would be unable to jump due to its huge weight and would lose its weapon;

Landing with a thud could knock the troll's weapon to the ground, and maybe hit its own feet, making it lose its combat effectiveness.

"Great!" Kerry praised, and took off his cloak and handed it to Hermione, saying:"Then let's start with the sticking spell!"

"We need to get closer first, or wait for it to come over. It's too far away now." Hermione held the cloak in her hand and poked her head out again.

===========

Just as Kerry and Hermione were preparing to fight the troll, three sneaky figures were opening the door of the corridor on the fourth floor.

"Harry, I think we're going to be expelled!" A second deep voice came out, and it was Ron's voice.

"We must stop Snape's actions! I'm sure that the troll in the basement was done by Snape! He must be here now trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone! He wants to resurrect He Who Must Not Be Named!"Harry, who was walking in front, answered softly.

��This is very exciting! Isn't it?"The third figure turned out to be Neville. He looked very excited:"I haven't had such an exciting experience in many years."

"Merlin's beard! You're only eleven! Why did you use the word 'many years'?!" Ron complained.

""Shut up! I heard some noise!" Harry stopped the two from arguing.

Harry gently pulled the knocker open, and a roaring sound came from behind the door - Harry only had time to take a look, and Snape's familiar hair appeared in Harry's eyes - opposite Snape was the three-headed dog of hell with its mouth wide open, barking non-stop.

"Snape is fighting a hellhound! I saw him!"Harry opened the door and said softly, but he was very excited.

At this moment, the hellhound suddenly wailed and lost its voice.

Harry hurriedly opened the door again, and the three heads of the hellhound drooped on the ground. Snape had disappeared.

"We failed!" Harry said frustratedly:"Snape defeated the hellhound and he ran away!"

"Look! There is a door on the ground! There are traces of pulling!"Ron pointed to the ground and said

"Snape must be in there!" Harry said firmly:"The Philosopher's Stone must be in there too! We must follow him!"

"Oh hi...I think we'd better run away……"Neville's voice was trembling.

Harry and Ron looked away from the door and followed Neville's gaze. The hellhound had opened one eye. It only had the white of its eyeball, and was trying to show its pupil.

"Run!" Harry pulled Ron and Neville, and the three of them rushed out of the corridor and ran outside. The hellhound woke up completely at this moment, pounced, and tore off a piece of Ron's clothes, revealing Ron's back.

""Close the door!" Ron rushed out the door, and the three of them worked together to close the door to the corridor. The big tongue of the hellhound oozes saliva from the crack of the door.

At this time, in the corridor where the Philosopher's Stone is stored, Snape has just arrived at the place where the Mirror of Erised is stored, but it is obvious that Dumbledore is already waiting, and he arrived earlier than Snape.

"Severus, are you hurt?" Dumbledore asked

"The damn hellhound wouldn't let me in."Snape took out a bottle of potion he carried with him and drank it. The bleeding on his wound stopped instantly and even improved visibly.

"Go back! I will guard the Philosopher's Stone all night." Dumbledore said

""Okay!" Snape turned around and left decisively.

When Snape left the hall, Dumbledore looked at the Mirror of Erised and said,"Why did that kid take the Philosopher's Stone? It can't be because he can't put it back, right?"

Chris: [You're telling the truth... I really didn't want to take it, but I really can't put it back.】

"If it's for this stupid reason, I think he'll have to treat me to another meal!" Dumbledore smiled and looked at the mirror. In the mirror were Dumbledore and his family. They were having dinner. Dumbledore's sister was at the corner of the table with a happy smile on her face. It is worth noting that in an inconspicuous position, there was an outsider - Harry Potter.

Dumbledore stroked the mirror with his old hands, as if he had penetrated time and space.

==========

On the other side, Hermione took out her wand and whispered a few prepared spells. Kerry stuck his head out to keep an eye on Hermione and judge the distance of the spell.

""There are about 30 more feet!" Kerry said softly. At this time, the giant's footsteps sounded like a big drum, and the ground was shaking - because 30 feet is about 10 meters. If a huge monster is 10 meters away from you, you can also feel the vibration of the ground.

""Okay!" Hermione held Kerry's cloak in her left hand and the wand in her right hand, and rushed out instantly.

Her agile young body was thrown out instantly before the troll could react, and the cloak just covered the upper half of the troll's face.

"【"Permanently stick" Hermione shouted the spell while holding the wand. Almost at the same time, she pointed the wand at the troll's head with her right hand.

A beam of light shot out from the end of the wand. The next second, the cloak was like being glued by super glue, tightly attached to the troll's eyes. The troll roared loudly.

"Oh!……"The huge roar spread throughout Hogwarts.

Hermione was not afraid, but went a step further. Before the troll swung the mace, she said to the mace:"[Fall to the ground immediately!]" The troll's mace fell to the ground like a big rock, hitting the troll's right big toe. Feeling the pain, the troll squatted down and hugged his right foot. The troll

's head kept shaking, and the roar from his mouth became more terrifying, shaking the floor to the point of falling!

Kerry took a few steps closer, ready to give Hermione support at any time.

"【"There are so many obstacles!" Hermione finally cast the third spell on the troll's relatively intact left foot.

As the spell was cast, the troll's left foot seemed to sink into the quagmire, and its movements became slow.

"There is a torch on the troll's head!" Kerry reminded

"【[It fell to the ground with a sound]"Hermione shot a spell at the torch, and the torch fell rapidly, landing right on Kerry's black cloak. The lamp oil in the torch spilled all over the ground, igniting the entire cloak like gasoline, as if the troll's head was on fire.

Until this moment, the troll finally couldn't bear the pain, and rushed to the bathroom next to it like a headless fly.

However, the bathroom was a small room, and the upper edge of the door was much lower than the troll. The troll hit the wall, and its huge body fell to the left, and Hermione happened to be on the left!

""Be careful!" Kerry shouted, but it was obvious that Hermione had cast several spells in a row and had already exhausted her physical strength. In addition, she was nervous and did not react. The giant monster was about to overwhelm Hermione.

""Ah!" Hermione was so scared that she covered her head and squatted on the spot.

With a thud, the troll's head hit the wall as its body fell.���Hermione did not feel her body being pressed down. She opened her eyes and saw Kerry's smiling face right in front of her. Kerry raised his hands and easily supported the troll with the pillar. The troll's left arm and back were gently lifted up in Kerry's palms, like a ball of cotton candy.

Hermione was stunned! Under Hermione's incredulous gaze, Kerry gently pushed his hands, threw the troll's huge body aside, and smashed it to the ground - with a dull sound. The troll's poor head suffered three attacks in just a few dozen seconds. It is estimated that it will never wake up again.

Kerry smelled the stench of the troll, which was like a 500-year-old septic tank. He couldn't help but pat his hands in disgust, as if to shake off the dirt.

"Kerry!"Hermione calmed down and ran to Kerry who was clapping and hugged him tightly.

""Okay! My warrior lady! You have successfully killed the troll! Let's celebrate!" Kerry clapped his hands and pulled Hermione's nervous little face away from his body.

"Unbelievable, we really defeated the troll!" Hermione's eyes were shining with surprise and shock.

"Correction: You killed the troll alone! I didn't do anything when you were fighting!" Kerry explained, and he was also very happy:"I just caught the troll's body for you at the end. At the end, the troll had obviously lost the battle. So this is your achievement alone - 100% of the glory belongs to you alone!"

"It's incredible even to me!" Hermione looked at the huge body on the ground, which was as big as a truck, and her eyes were shining. However, after just a few breaths, Hermione suddenly realized an obvious problem:"How can you support the body of the troll? It must be at least 2,500 pounds!"

"I will tell you more about it when you are free. Now come and welcome the glory that belongs to you!" Kerry said. He had heard the sound of footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor. They should be the footsteps of several professors.

"What do you mean?" Hermione didn't understand Kerry.

"I have something else to do. I'll go do it first.

Remember, don't say I'm here, I'm leaving first! You defeated the troll alone! You didn't lie, did you?"Kerry shrugged and disappeared into the darkness of the light.

Hermione wanted to ask another question, but she noticed movement at the end of the corridor - several professors were running quickly. Hermione turned her head again, and Kerry was gone.

""Wow! Look what this is? A giant troll, and an adult one at that!" Professor Sprout

, the Herbology professor, was the first to say with a voice full of surprise. Her voice was always loud, just like her strength. Beside her, Professors Snape and McGonagall stood, and behind them was Professor Quirrell. When Quirrell saw the giant troll for the first time, he showed an expression of fear and surprise - this expression was so strange that Hermione immediately noticed Professor Quirrell who was walking at the end.

In an instant, Hermione thought of what Kerry had just said: one person defeated the giant troll. The next second, Hermione thought of the professors' late arrival. They should have arrived earlier, right? Coupled with the strange expression on Professor Quirrell's face, Hermione suddenly felt like she had discovered something incredible. This feeling was like a thorn in her back, and Hermione's pupils shrank because of this - what was Kerry hiding?

""Miss Granger, what happened?" Professor McGonagall, who was walking in front, asked quickly but gently.

"Dear professors, as you can see, I think I know enough about the troll, so I decided to fight it alone, hoping to help you subdue it! And obviously, my magic is not bad, barely defeated the enemy." Hermione waved her hands and said casually, and by the way, her face also showed the confidence of a teenager and the arrogance of a top student.

"Did you defeat him alone?"Qiluo, who was hiding at the end, asked fearfully.

"Of course! As you can see, there's no one else here!" Hermione put her hands on her hips and put her wand back into her pocket. She seemed to have sprained her waist just now.

""Wow!" There was an uproar, and several professors looked at each other in disbelief. Snape walked to the troll and carefully checked its breathing and heartbeat.

"It's not dead yet, but it's obviously been seriously injured and has completely lost its combat effectiveness!"Snape said solemnly:"The magical fluctuations here are very small, and there are no signs of adult wizards using magic!"

Professor McGonagall also looked around carefully, touched the charred wizard cloak, and looked at the fallen torch.

After a long time, Professor McGonagall turned to face Hermione and said:"Brave little lion, you really shocked me! I will apply to Headmaster Dumbledore to add a full 100 points to Gryffindor College! But……"

Professor McGonagall frowned again and continued,"First of all, I have to deduct five points for disobeying orders and leaving the group of colleges alone!"

""Miss Granger, please return to your dorm! You have done what you wanted to do, whether it was appropriate or not."

Hermione nodded happily to the professors and trotted out of the corridor.

In this way, Hermione completed her [First Monster Killing] on her first Halloween in her first year!
