Chapter 163 Hermione: Rove, who is more fierce, Shirley or me?
Ron and administrator Filch are attacked by unknown creatures.
The news spread in the school the next day. After hearing about it, many students' first reaction was hesitation...
Are you sure it wasn't Lockhart who was attacked by an unknown creature?
He was hospitalized three times within a week, but he was not injured this time. To be honest... the little wizards did not approve of this result very much, and were even a little disappointed.
Especially after the market opened, the students of Stud Lockhart who would be hospitalized for the fourth time within a week all wished to secretly give him a brick.
Ron and Filch were not seriously injured. After being hit hard, apart from some concussions, they were more seriously frightened... frightened by the monster that night.
But being attacked wasn't all bad. After being discharged from the hospital, Ron suddenly found to his surprise...that he had changed from a person's name to a celebrity!
Wherever he went, there were students pointing at him.
This feeling of being surrounded by stars made Ron very useful, even a little intoxicated. After all, this kind of special treatment used to belong to Harry.
Ron's legs didn't hurt anymore, his waist didn't hurt, and his brain didn't fluctuate. He began to tell the onlookers what happened that night anytime and anywhere.
At first, Ron told much the same thing as he had said to Dumbledore that night:
After a monster knocked him and Filch unconscious, he was hung on a statue without being able to see the other clearly.
But with the continuous addition of billions of details, the version began to change. A few days later, Ron told a thrilling attack story:
He fights a monster with his bare hands, heroically protects the trophy room from vandalism, and guards Filch from being killed!
The size of the monster is also getting bigger:
From the height of one person at the beginning, it became a few meters tall, and in the latest version, it is almost the size of an adult fire dragon... It seems that the monster can grow and shrink by itself.
Lockhart also became enthusiastic, often took a quill to write down Ron's story, patiently asked for details, and whether he saw the monster clearly.
Lockhart also announced on the spot that he would include this story in his novel.
He also gave Ron some little advice, which helped him fill in many of the holes in the story.
Ron's evaluation of Lockhart suddenly rose a lot, from disgust to admiration, and he seemed to want to write novels with him.
Compared to Ron's showing off, Filch felt ashamed. He wandered around the prize room with a bracelet and a whip every day, trying to catch that nasty monster.
The castle was also searched several times, and the professors tried to find the mysterious creature, but found nothing.
Rove became the object of suspicion. After all, he had a box full of magical creatures, and he was also wandering outside that night, so it seemed very suspicious.
At least Snape thought so, and he also proposed to confiscate Rove's box and give it to him for inspection.
It was just rejected by Dumbledore ruthlessly.
In fact, even Rove himself was a little unconfident, wondering if the magical creature in his box had escaped.
After all, this is a traditional family art, and Newt has done this kind of thing back then.
Rove is going to check the box thoroughly, not letting go of every corner.
...
...
As time went by, the enthusiasm of the students did not decrease, but increased.
Each of them is Sherlock Holmes, wandering around the school, looking for mysterious creatures.
One day, on the way to the Charms classroom, Rove, Hermione, and Neville discovered that the corridors of the prize showroom were blocked.
As the first scene of the crime, of course this place will not be let go, as if it has become a check-in place for Internet celebrities!
Hermione stood on tiptoe, looked at the queue that was blocked, and said a little annoyedly: "It's so crazy, don't you go to class?!"
"Everyone is spreading the word that as long as you catch that animal, you may get the special contribution award to the school." Neville said softly.
"This award is nothing special." Rove said leisurely.
Hermione glanced at Rove with small eyes, of course you said so after taking it!
At this moment, a tall wizard squeezed out from the crowd. He was wearing a black robe with a shiny silver letter "P" pinned to his chest.
"What are you all doing here? I'm a prefect! I order you to disperse immediately. Professor McGonagall has an order, don't watch here, it's dangerous!
If you don't leave, I will deduct points! "
Percy emphasized his "prefect" status again, and wiped the badge on his chest lightly, as if it was the Order of Merlin.
Hearing that points would be deducted, the little wizards immediately dispersed, and the road quickly became clear.
After Percy drove the students away, he himself stood at the door and looked curiously for a while before leaving in a hurry.
"Everyone wants to catch that mysterious creature, even the prefect." Hermione shook her head and said, "After all, it is the special contribution award to the school, the highest honor a student can get."
"Hermione, do you want to get it too?" Rove turned to look at the girl.
"I don't want to!" Hermione snorted softly, she pursed her lips and said:
"You don't even want to catch that magical creature. You don't know what it is. It must be dangerous to destroy the prize showroom like that!"
Hermione stared at Rove, and said with a serious face: "Don't go on a night tour alone at night, what if you are also attacked?!"
Rove was stunned for a moment. He looked at the serious girl with a serious face, and the feeling of oppression was very similar to that of Professor McGonagall.
The action of pursing his lips is even more similar, no wonder Professor McGonagall is called...Little Hermione.
"Hermione, I really don't have a night trip!" Rove said innocently, "I was going to help Neville and Hannah clean the classroom that night..."
"That's right, Hermione...don't blame Rolf, he really didn't go on a night tour..." Neville hurriedly explained in fright.
"I didn't say anything...why are you so nervous?"
Hermione's frowned eyebrows were slightly relieved, and her lips were no longer so tight, and there seemed to be some smiles.
"So, you didn't see that magical creature clearly?"
"No." Rove shook his head and said, "When I arrived, the prize showroom was already a mess."
"However, there is one thing that is very strange." The boy said slowly: "Filch said that before he was knocked down, he didn't faint immediately, but when he looked up, he didn't see that guy's figure.
Ron also said that the thing was standing behind him with a huge shadow, but when he turned his head, it suddenly disappeared. "
"Maybe it will be invisible? Is it a creature like an invisible beast?" Hermione guessed, "Or is it very fast?"
"It's possible." Rove frowned.
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore." Hermione thought for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Rove, was I very fierce just now? You tell me the truth, I won't be angry."
Rove is not a fool. If he tells the truth now, there may be no accidents, but he will definitely be retaliated against in the future. He quickly shook his head and said, "It's not fierce."
Hermione kicked a stone lightly behind her hands. The girl looked at Rove and asked in a very casual tone:
"Then how do I compare with Shirley? Who is more fierce?"
"..."
Neville stood in the corner, looked at Rove, suddenly covered his stomach and said:
"Ah, my stomach hurts!"
