Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 31 Thank You
Putting aside the warm and friendly mutual assistance among colleagues, Dumbledore really couldn't stand Hagrid's pitiful look, and took the initiative to make the grumpy three-headed dog fall asleep.

Ultimately, this incident was not the three-headed dog's fault, so there was no need to keep it hanging.

After receiving Dumbledore's signal, Professor McGonagall also released the three-headed dog.

"Thank you, thank you..." Hagrid wiped his tears and walked forward to pull off the chains.

During this process, Dumbledore suddenly noticed that there were several pieces of cloth hooked on the teeth in the middle mouth of the three-headed dog.

"What is that?" asked Dumbledore.

At his reminder, Hagrid also noticed this and took down the rag and looked at it over and over again. "The clothes on the troll?"

"Trolls don't wear clothes."

"Oh, sorry, Professor Snape," said Hagrid, offering to hand the shard to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore raised his hand and pointed lightly.
"Restored to the original condition!"

There were obviously more than one piece of cloth. Under the effect of the spell, other fragments flew from all directions and actively stuck to the largest piece.

Soon, a pointed hat appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this the hat for the school robe?" Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and then immediately shook her head.
"That's impossible. We came here as soon as we heard the noise. If any students had left, I would have seen them."

After saying that, she looked at Professor Flitwick who had just come over.

Professor Flitwick immediately understood and said, "There's nothing upstairs either. I've been keeping an eye out."

"Where's Mr. Ollivander?" Dumbledore suddenly asked. "I heard he hasn't been to the party."

"Cialon Ollivander?" Professor Flitwick was stunned at first, then nodded after a moment's thought. "He was there too, helping to maintain order. I remember it very clearly."

"Where?"

"On the second floor, near the library," said Professor Flitwick.

"Aha, it seems Potter lied." Snape said coldly, "Just like his father, arrogant and full of lies..."

"Severus," Dumbledore interrupted.

Snape didn't look very happy, but he kept his mouth shut.

"Do you want to check the students' hats?" Professor McGonagall spoke up in time, changing the subject.

"No need." Dumbledore shook his head. "It must have been brought in accidentally by the troll. It's not important."

In fact, this plain pointed hat is in a sense a standard feature of school uniform robes. It is too common in Hogwarts, and the person who lost the hat would not do nothing, so there is no point in checking it.

"I'd better go to the hospital wing," Snape said. "I'll brew a special potion for Professor Quirrell. Maybe we can get the correct answer from him."

Among all the people present, only Snape remained true to his original intention; he just wanted to deal with Quirrell.

As for whether there is something else mixed in the special magic potion he mentioned... the answer is no.

But Dumbledore disagreed.

After staying at the scene for a while and making sure there were no other missed clues, everyone left one after another, leaving only Hagrid there to take care of the injured three-headed dog Fluffy.

On the way back, Snape said again, "Dumbledore, I still don't think it's right. It's too dangerous to let the three-headed dog stay in the castle.

"You saw it too. Even with only two heads left, it can still kill an adult troll in a few minutes. What if it gets hungry one day and breaks into the castle without caring about anything..."

"Don't worry, the three-headed dog won't be able to break down that door," said Dumbledore, "and the house-elves in the kitchen will take good care of it."

"But……"

"I promise you, it's okay."

Snape wanted to say something, but now he could only shut up and said, "I'll keep an eye on Quirrell. He must be the one causing trouble this time." "Thank you for your help."

The two separated at the stairs.

……

Meanwhile, on the eighth floor, in the Gryffindor common room.

"When did you come back!" Harry, who had just returned, was stunned when he saw Xiren sitting in the armchair.

"I came back with everyone." Xi Lun said, "I wanted to ask where you went, but no one said they saw you."

"We came to find you to tell you there's a troll in the school," said Harry.

"You guys?" Siren looked at him, then at Ron and Hermione beside him.

"When did your relationship become so good?"

"Who's close to her?" Ron immediately distanced himself from the matter. "If she hadn't taken the initiative to plead for Harry, we wouldn't be with her."

"I'm just telling the truth!" Hermione glared at him. "Do you think I want to be with you?"

Xi Lun looked at them in surprise.

Later, he learned the truth from Harry.

Before the Halloween party, Hermione took the initiative to find Professor McGonagall and provided her with the complete process of the flying class, trying to prove that Malfoy was the one who violated the school rules. In order to protect his classmates' belongings, Harry was forced to get involved.

Maybe it was the truth, or maybe it was some harmless embellishment, but after Hermione came out of Professor McGonagall's office, Harry's detention was lifted.

Then at the Halloween party, Quirrell rushed in to tell everyone the news about the troll. The three of them decided to go find Xiren who was still outside, and they acted together.

To be honest, Xi Lun felt a little touched.

Although we cannot rule out the possibility of the "Gryffindor spirit" at work, they are really in trouble. More importantly, they would rather risk facing the troll than reveal their whereabouts to the professor. This friend is worth getting along with.

Xi Lun felt somewhat relieved.

"Don't worry." Harry patted his chest, "Professor McGonagall only deducted our points, not yours."

and many more……

Xi Lun's smile froze. "No points were deducted from me... Does that mean Professor McGonagall knew I wasn't at the party?"

"Yeah." Ron nodded as a matter of course, "But we've already explained that you didn't have time to attend the party and didn't know about the troll. You didn't leave halfway."

"Then thank you so much." Xi Lun said expressionlessly.

Well, it’s too early to be relieved.

Xi Lun felt a little helpless. He really didn't know how to describe his current mood.

Ten minutes ago, with the help of the map given by Fred and George, Xi Lun successfully entered the secret passage before Snape and Professor McGonagall arrived, took a shortcut to the second floor, blended into the student group, and found a way to attract the attention of Professor Flitwick.

Everything went smoothly. I thought I could get away with it this time, but unexpectedly...

Xiren sighed.

Okay, it doesn't matter.

Even if the professors knew about it, what could they do? He indirectly solved the threat of the giant monster for the professors, so we couldn't deduct points from him.

As for the injured three-headed dog, that was done by the troll, what does it have to do with him, Xilun!
