HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 224: Halloween

The Halloween party started as scheduled.

Jon shrugged subtly when he walked into the restaurant and saw the colorful Halloween decorations.

Professor Quirrell is not here, presumably he is going to let the troll go.

Countless bats fluttered across the walls and ceiling, and there were also many low dark clouds hovering and flying above the dining table, making the candle flames in the pumpkin belly flicker.

Delicious food suddenly appeared on golden plates after Jon took his seat, just like the banquet at the beginning of school and the Halloween banquet at the same time last year.

Also nothing new.

Many of the senior students present were obviously absent-minded. Apart from eating, it seemed that only the lower grade students and some ghosts were celebrating this festival.

No matter what happened in someone's eyes, Jon had something on his mind, so he felt that everyone had something on his mind just like him.

So everyone thinks that people have a lot on their minds.

Not far from where Jon sat was Harry Potter and his good brother, Ron Weasley.

The only girl in the trio was not there, but from the way Harry and Ron talked and laughed, they didn't care about Hermione's absence.

When Professor Quirrell rushed into the dining room, Jon was idly pawing at the beef on the plate next to Stephen—the three roommates beside him seemed to be talking and laughing, but their eyes glanced around from time to time, obviously He was wary of the "accident" that Jon said.

Of course, Professor Quirrell was the accident that Jon said.

The professor's big scarf was on his head at the moment, his face was full of horror, and everyone was staring at him - most of the students were accidental, but Stephen and the others had "anticipated" it a long time ago, and now Just wanted to see what happened.

Everyone saw Professor Quirrell walking to Professor Dumbledore's chair, leaning on the table, panting, "The troll—in the dungeon—thought you should know."

After speaking, he fell to the floor and passed out.

As soon as these words came out, the restaurant suddenly became chaotic.

Professor Dumbledore had to use his wand to send out several piercing pyrotechnic explosions to silence the rioting students.

"Prefect," he said in a low voice, "lead the students of your college to the dormitory immediately!"

The prefects of each college immediately took action, calling for the freshmen to gather loudly, while comforting the students.

Jon raised his head and exchanged glances with Dumbledore who was standing on the teacher's seat, both of them showed a clear look - of course Dumbledore's look was still blocked by his beard.

Under the hint of Jon's wink, Stephen clapped his hands, and the surrounding sophomores immediately dispersed.

At the same time, Snape also left the teacher's seat in a hurry, not knowing where he went.

"Tell our people to stay safe."

When passing by Stephen, Jon said in an almost inaudible voice.

Stephen didn't respond, but just followed the crowd and walked outside.

...

Harry followed the Gryffindor group towards the dormitory, but he had a lot of doubts in his mind.

"How could a troll get in?"

Harry asked Ron as they went up the stairs.

"Don't ask me, trolls must be pretty darn stupid," said Ron. "Maybe Peeves put it in there, just to add some fun to Hallowe'en."

They encountered a group of strange people on the road, these people rushed in different directions, even Harry didn't see the house emblem, until they inexplicably passed a group of Hufflepuff students who obviously shouldn't be here , Harry suddenly remembered one thing.

"I just remembered - Hermione."

Harry grabbed Ron's arm and said solemnly.

"What's the matter with her?"

"She doesn't know about the troll yet."

Ron bit his lip, and his expression became tangled.

The two didn't notice that among the Hufflepuff students beside them, two of them exchanged glances.

Ron and Harry soon decided they were going to find Hermione, and they hunkered down, blending in with the Hufflepuff crowd, and walked in the other direction before quietly leaving the group again.

And the two Hufflepuff "recorders" behind them didn't choose to follow, but stood still and watched for a while, then turned their heads and walked towards the main force of their own academy.

It's useless to keep up, they are only second-year students, and even if they really encounter trolls, they can't do much.

Besides, this is not an area they should worry about. Among the rules of their training, only one is to give priority to ensuring their own safety.

This point was brought up by Jon.

After all, in the castle of Hogwarts, the protection of Harry Potter can be said to be meticulous, and there is no need to waste the students of his own college to protect him.

Moreover, with the behavior style of Harry Potter and his two good friends, if there is any problem, it is easy to involve the students who protect them.

But which little wizard's life is not his life?

Dumbledore didn't care about the cost, but Jon still did.

At least where Jon can do it, if you can protect it, you still have to protect these students.

Among other things, this is all the vitality in his hands now, if one is missing, it is really missing, and there is no ability to replenish it in time.

Harry and the others slipped quietly through the empty side corridor and hurried to the women's room.

They had just turned the corner when they heard hurried footsteps behind them.

Ron nimbly pulled Harry behind a large stone statue of a griffin.

They looked over from behind the stone sculpture, only to realize that it was Snape.

The latter crossed the corridor and disappeared from their sight.

Filled with doubts, they followed Snape's receding footsteps and walked quietly down another corridor, trying not to make a sound.

Not far behind them, Jon's figure came out of the darkness.

Ron and Harry had apparently gone downstairs, and if he remembered correctly, the troll should be in the ladies' room on the first floor by now.

Hermione Granger should also be in the women's bathroom. If the plot is based on the plot of ordinary people, this is a good time for the hero to save the beauty.

However, such things as heroes saving the beauty are not attractive to Jon at all. Compared with the traditional British, his aesthetics, unless he looks better to a certain extent, he still prefers oriental girls.

Hermione may look good afterwards, but an 11-year-old girl always makes Jon feel awkward.

Compared to these, Jon wanted to go upstairs to see what was going on with Snape.
