Chapter 39： spiritual warning

Tom was blocked by Padma on the way back to the dormitory. The charming and cute girl was holding a cup of hot milk tea. There is no room for you to refuse, so Tom expressed his thanks again and again, this is what he should do , holding a cup on one side.

The milk tea in the cup was steaming and fragrant. It seemed that this milk tea was well-deserved, but Tom always had a bad premonition, and he couldn't figure out the reason for a while. But Padma was looking at him expectantly, and he could only sip the caramel-colored milk tea in the cup. Not to mention, it tastes really good!

"Wow, it's really good to drink!" Tom praised, then drank the tea in the cup. The cup was bottomed out. He also found the reason for his uneasy feeling: Today seems to be Halloween? It seems that there will be a troll in the castle, right? Then as long as you look after Hermione and don't let her alone, it'll be fine. After Tom figured out this joint, all his doubts went away, and after a few small talk with Padma, he left.

In the afternoon, Ravenclaw also had a session of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, and after that was the Halloween dinner everyone was looking forward to. However, when Tom walked out of the Transfiguration classroom, his face was a little strange. He said to Hermione next to him: "You go to the auditorium first, I will go to the toilet."

Hermione didn't take it to heart either, and the colorful Halloween decorations in the auditorium caught her eye and made her temporarily put Tom behind her head.

The staff at Hogwarts spent a lot of thought on Halloween, and they tried their best to decorate the entire hall with Halloween features: thousands of bats flew on the walls and ceilings, and there were thousands of low groups. Short dark clouds swirled and fluttered above the dining table, and the gusts of gloomy wind they brought as they flew made the candles in the jack-o-lanterns flicker. The candles in the entire auditorium were enchanted and turned blue, with the exception of the jack-o'-lantern. The armors in the castle are also enchanted by Professor McGonagall, and they will randomly emit eerie howls as passersby pass by.

And why does this kind of festival lack Peeves? It either hid in the lantern, and when the little wizard passed by, it suddenly came out to startle them, or it took control of the armor and let the armor let out a penetrating howl while rushing at the passers-by. Of course, the worst one was that it extinguished all the candles in the classroom, locked a single student in the classroom, and kept himself hidden beside him, making all kinds of tricks. By the time his friend found him, the hapless **** had fainted.

The dishes at the Halloween dinner party were quite rich, and as always, they suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. Hermione originally watched and ate it with relish, but when she was halfway through the banquet, she didn't see Tom's. When she was in the figure, she was a little flustered.

"Looks like he's not a normal tummy tick," Hermione thought. "I'd better pack him something to eat." Just as Hermione tried to put a steak in a loaf of bread, Professor Quirrell looked horrified. He rushed into the dining room, his turban was crooked, his face was pale, he stumbled to Dumbledore's chair, and stammered: "Troll, in the basement—I thought you knew—" After delivering the news He rolled his eyes and passed out.

There was an uproar in the entire hall, but Professor Dumbledore quickly took control, ordering the prefects to bring the students from their respective houses back to the lounge, and then he and the professors split up to find the troll, drive it out - or kill it .

The prefects seemed to be very experienced. They gathered the students of their own colleges in an orderly manner. Each prefect was responsible for a grade and left the auditorium in turn.

Until the team set off, Hermione didn't see Tom's shadow. She squeezed to the front of the line and said to the prefect in charge of them, "Senior! Tom's gone, he's probably in the toilet!"

The prefect frowned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I'll take you to the lounge first, and then I'll find a way to notify Professor Flitwick."

The prefect at this time, it is impossible to stop and wait for Tom, and it is impossible to leave this group of little wizards to find the professor, and it is impossible to queue up people to contact the professor. Now there are people everywhere, if you disperse people, you will no longer receive them. Not coming back. At this time, if he can master the paper crane magic of Professor Flitwick, that's fine, but unfortunately the prefect can't. He could only bite the bullet and rush to the dormitory, and then planned to settle down with his juniors and juniors before going out to find the professor.

Hermione's face turned pale when she heard such an answer. She slowed down her steps in a daze, and allowed her classmates to overtake her one by one. She was in a tangle in her heart: at this time, she could either leave Tom or go against the discipline herself. Find Tom.

In Hermione's heart, it can now be said that heaven and man are at war. A voice told her: The castle is so big, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Tom may not meet trolls, not to mention that he has no evidence that he is in the toilet, maybe he went back to the dormitory because of an upset stomach? Besides, Professor Flitwick would definitely be very angry when he left the team at this time, right? Professor Dumbledore emphasized that he had to let the students follow their prefects back to the lounge. If he violated the school rules at this moment, he might be expelled, right? Thinking of the dismissal, Hermione shuddered and took a few steps to keep up with the tail of the team.

but…

There was no one in the corridor on the first floor. Since the candles had all turned into blue flames, it looked extremely gloomy. This scene would not be incompatible with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 30 years later. Hermione didn't know why she was here.

She had already decided to go back to the lounge, but she still unconsciously took her to the first floor, as if it was a favor from Tom's school day, she thought to herself.

Looking at the blue light around her and her long shadow on the wall, Hermione shuddered and couldn't help speeding up her pace. She rushed into the boys' bathroom on the first floor. It was dark and quiet, except for the sound of water dripping in the sink.

There was no one inside.

Hermione shouted tremblingly: "Tom! Are you there? Where are you? There are trolls in the castle, Professor Dumbledore let us go back to the dormitory!"

No one answered, only her own echo.

At this moment, Hermione felt that she was really stupid, but she was a little relieved. She used all her strength to quickly run upstairs - since Tom was not in the toilet closest to the Transfiguration classroom, he must have returned to the dormitory.

She ran very fast, from the first floor to the second floor, and then at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, a figure appeared in front of her, Hermione did not stop the car, slammed into it, and the two fell to the ground together superior.
