"Luke, are you starving today?" Edward asked in surprise as he looked at Luke who, unlike his usual habit of chewing slowly, had begun to chow down.

Luke, who was struggling with a pie, answered vaguely, actually knowing what was going to happen on Halloween he understood that if he didn't enjoy this sumptuous dinner soon, the troll news brought by Professor Chilo in a few moments would put an end to the feast, and while Gryffindor seemed to be going to carry on with the feast when they got back to the common room, Luke didn't know if Ravenclaw would be there or not, and he didn't want to go through this evening.

Luke wiped his mouth and scanned the auditorium, looking over to the long Gryffindor table, at this point Miss Know-It-All Hermione Granger was away and Harry and Ron were dining. So he stood up and left his seat, saying to Edward beside him, "I've got a bit of an upset stomach, I'm going to the loo."

Edward's expression looked a little confused, "You're digesting that fast today too?"

In the academy library in the Ravenclaw common room there were relevant books on the introduction of trolls and combat tactics suitable for dealing with them, trolls are a kind of magical creatures with astonishing strength but very low intelligence, they are very violent and often strike for no reason - in fact, it is precisely because of their very low intelligence that wizards worst grade on the exam is denoted by its initial T.

Luke saw this as a good opportunity to get points for Ravenclaw, to enhance his reputation and influence among the students, so he decided to go ahead and take care of the stupid big guy before Chilo barged in to warn everyone, so that he could also avoid having his points deducted by the professors - he wasn't Harry Potter with a saviour's title.

"Points add up, and this way if we end up so far ahead in points that Dumbledore would be too embarrassed to overtake even if he cheated, the House Cup will be ours in Ravenclaw." Luke, who had used the Disillusionment Spell, was walking quickly towards the ladies' toilets.

Luke went to the corridor where the girls' toilets were and then hid by the wall, the empty corridors were completely devoid of trolls until he saw Professor Quirinus Chiloe appearing from one of the corridors, and when the other person quickly crossed himself towards the auditorium, Luke walked forward along the corridor in the direction that Chiloe had come from, he didn't want to wait for the trolls to come to the girls' toilets before he did anything and give Harry and Ron a chance to mix up the extra points.

At that moment, in the Hogwarts auditorium, just as everyone was feasting, Professor Chilo suddenly rushed headlong into the dining room, his large scarf askew on his head and a look of horror on his face. Everyone stared at him, only to see him walk over to Professor Dumbledore's chair, lean on the table with a crooked lean, and gasp, "Trolls - in the Underclassroom - I thought you should know. "

After saying this, he fell exaggeratedly headfirst to the floor and passed out.

The dining room erupted into chaos, and Dumbledore had to cause his wand to make several ear-splitting explosions of fireworks above his head before everyone quieted down.

"Head Hierarch," the Headmaster of Hogwarts said in a low voice, "lead the students of your house to their dormitories at once!"

Penelope Krivat, the Ravenclaw Head Girl, stood up immediately, "Ravenclaw students follow me." Words were short and to the point and with a crane of his neck Edward followed the eagles into an automatic queue, noticing that even the male ranking officer was very much absent from the queue ......

When the queue was just about to start moving, Edward looked around and exclaimed out to the female ranking captain, "Bad! Rank Leader Krivat, Luke he just went to the toilet because of a bad stomach, he must not have heard the warning about the trolls!"

And at that moment Luke had just come out of the corridor and turned a corner when a foul stench entered his nostrils, the smell of smelly socks mixed with a public toilet that was never cleaned. Then he heard a low grunt and the sound of huge feet dragging on the ground as he walked.

Luke watched the gargoyle slowly approach, a sight that would have been horrifying to the other young wizards if they had seen it. The gargoyle was twelve feet tall, with dull, grey granite-like skin, and a huge, stupid body that resembled a giant pile of muddy gravel, topped by a small cocoa bean-like head. Its short legs were thick as stumps, and underneath were big, flat, hard, calloused feet. The odour that emanated from it was sickening. In its hand it grasped a thick wooden stick, which dragged on the ground due to its long arms.

"Faint down!" From a distance Luke drew his wand and fired a spell at it to test it first, hitting the troll in the shoulder accurately, the troll blinked stupidly and turned his big ugly nose towards Luke, it took him a moment to realise that it was the little nub in front of him that had just launched an attack at him, then the troll raised the stick in its hand high and growled as it pressed towards Luke.

"As written in the book, the troll's physique and skin give them a certain resistance to magic." Shaking his head, Luke's wand was not aimed at the troll, but aimed at a point in front of the feet of the troll that was running towards him, and under the effect of Transformation Luke made the bottom surface in front of the troll become a sudden raised piece.

The angry gargoyle obviously did not notice this change, or they are at this time also simply brain capacity for it to understand, suddenly, the gargoyle was tripped and flung forward, immediately after, Luke controlled the gargoyle has been removed from the stick moved to the ground in front of the direction of its fall.

A shocking bang followed by a rumbling sound shook the whole room - the falling troll's head just hit the wooden stick which had been deliberately adjusted to its position by Luke's control as it landed on the ground, and the troll's poor cranium had cracked by now, and its very small-volume brain matter and blood flowed out along those cracks.

"It's really easy to deal with these creatures that are resistant to magic spells using the environment, but it's obvious that it will require a bit more mental quality from the wizard." Luke, who had already withdrawn his wand, summed up the experience internally.

After another short while, loud footsteps thudded from behind Luke, and a moment later, the Dean of Ravenclaw, Freeway, and McGonagall came rushing in at the head of the pack, followed closely by Snape, and the already awake Chilo at the end.

Chilo only glanced towards the gargoyle before letting out a feeble sob and clutching his chest tightly, he sat down on the floor with another exaggerated wail.

Snape bent over the troll while McGonagall looked at Luke, her pursed lips white.

"Luke Harris, what the hell are you students playing at?" Mag said, a cold anger in her voice, "Count yourself lucky! Didn't get killed by it. Why didn't you heed the warning and stay in your dormitory honestly?"

"I didn't hear any warnings at all." McGonagall's questioning didn't fluster Luke, meeting Professor McGonagall's gaze with a feigned sense of guilt, "I just came out to use the loo, but I didn't expect to run into a troll in what is known to be the safest place in the world, and I'd like to ask what kind of shenanigans the school is up to?"

Snape swept Luke a quick glance with a forced gaze, as if judging the truth of Luke's words.

Ravenclaw Dean Freeway, on the other hand, asked in a shrill voice of concern, "Luke, you're not hurt, are you? Professor McGonagall, Senior Krivat just explained Luke's condition when he reported the news to me, he went to the loo before Professor Chilo warned us, and I didn't have time to explain the situation in the emergency just now."

Facing his college, Luke's voice eased, "No, I'm fine, Dean Freeway."

"Oh... if that's the case ...... it was indeed a mistake on Hogwarts' part." Professor McGonagall's expression was a little embarrassed at this point, the fact that her earlier outburst was entirely due to her fear that the students had been harmed in some way, coupled with the fact that she had just encountered the obviously offending Harry Potter trio as they passed by the girls' toilets, had led her to believe that the Luke Harris in front of her had also come to seek out the trolls in search of some sort of adventure due to the fact that he thought that he had been over-achieving.

With that thought in mind, Professor McGonagall coughed dryly and said, somewhat apologetically, "Mr Harris, then for tackling the troll on your own, for that I'm going to add twenty points for Ravenclaw. I have to say, not many first years can take on an adult troll. I was pleased to note that you used the Transfiguration technique, which you have only been taught for a short time, and lived to use it to join the fight."

Snape's gaze lingered on the stick and he mocked in his usual conspiratorial tone, "Our first year genius also possesses such precise control of the stick that he did it deliberately, it seems clear that this Harris is much more complex than we thought."

Flivvy wondered if he didn't hear the unkindness in Snape's tone, as he directly followed the Slytherin Dean's words and praised, "Beautiful floating spell! It's amazing to have that level of precise control in first year!"

And on the way back to the Gryffindor common room, despite being docked a lot of points, the Iron Triangle trio always had a smile on their faces, and Hermione had just been shaken up by the troll incident - the fact that Harry and Ron had managed to come to her in spite of their own safety despite knowing that there was a troll, in addition to their courage, had made Hermione, for the first time at Hogwarts, feel a sense of friendship felt like she had made friends.

"Without the Iron Triangle experiencing life-threatening adventures together, I wonder if Hermione's friendship with them will still be as strong?" Luke, who had also started to return to the Ravenclaw common room, couldn't help but think a little lewdly on the way, "But Chilo's acting is so exaggerated that it's like he's trying to make people suspicious on purpose ......"
