The Prisoners of Hogwarts

Chapter 59 Who Did You Say Defeated the Giant? (Please Subscribe)

Without Lin Qi making any move, the raven on his shoulder spread its wings and flew away, following the giant's movement trail.

"Please, Professor McGonagall." Lynch stepped aside and gestured for Professor McGonagall to proceed.

Lin Qi and his companion followed the trail left by the giant.

On the other side, the crows quickly spotted the giant.

More precisely, what was heard first was a shrill, terrified scream from a girl.

Then I saw two little boys open the door and rush into a room.

They flew into the room through the crack in the wooden door and discovered the giant monster.

The troll was an ugly, huge creature, its body covered in a dull gray dust, resembling a giant sculpture made of granite and clay. Its body was bloated and robust, contrasting sharply with its ridiculously small head.

His short legs were as thick as tree stumps, and he held a thick wooden stick in his hand, which dragged on the ground because of his long arms.

It was this huge wooden stick that left conspicuous scratches on the ground, enabling Lin Qi to arrive here in time.

The moment the crow entered the room, the troll was no longer a threat, but Lynch refrained from attacking immediately because he had discovered the identities of the three young wizards present the moment he flew into the room.

These are the original three main characters of the story—Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

The raven landed on the metal pipes at the top of the room, and because of the troll's presence, none of the three young wizards present noticed it.

This was Lynch's first close observation of Harry since the opening banquet; that time, he only confirmed his physical features.

This time, he wanted to confirm Harry's personality traits and style of doing things.

After all, if you want to quickly understand a person, you can't just look at what they say, you have to look at what they do.

This was Lynch's best chance to observe what Harry was doing.

He quickly discovered Harry's first strength—his quick wit in battle.

As the troll approached Hermione by the wall, he almost instantly realized he needed to distract it.

He and Ron each made a noise on one side, causing the troll to turn around.

Harry would have successfully carried out a rescue if the little girl Hermione hadn't been too frightened to move.

Quick thinking in battle is very important, Lin Qi nodded in approval.

Many people talk a good game in everyday life, but when faced with a real emergency, their minds go blank and they become completely at a loss.

Therefore, what Harry is showing at this moment is a very valuable quality.

And there's Ron with the red hair.

Lynch glanced at him, then carried out Harry's plan without hesitation, and dared to attack the enormous troll.

Loyalty and courage are also valuable qualities.

However, Harry then demonstrated extraordinary courage to Lynch.

To save Ron from being cornered by the troll, Harry leaped up, wrapped his arms around the troll's neck from behind, and even stuck his wand into the troll's nostril.

The giant roared in pain, twisting its massive, bloated body and wildly swinging its huge wooden club.

Lin Qi's gaze sharpened, and in the blink of an eye, he prepared to take action to control the giant monster.

But just then, Ron, with his red hair, gave him a surprise.

As a spell Lynch knew all too well rang out, "Yugadim... Leviosa!"

The giant's wooden club slipped from its hand, flew high into the air, and then crashed down with tremendous force, striking the giant's ridiculously small head squarely.

With a muffled thud, the giant's massive body crashed to the ground, completely unconscious.

Lynch looked at Ron, whose face was pale as he stared in disbelief at the giant lying on the ground. He then looked down at the old wand in his hand, seemingly unable to believe that he had done this himself.

When he practiced in spell class, he couldn't even make a feather float, but now he can float a huge wooden stick weighing over 100 kilograms!

Ron looked at his hands, and an unbelievable thought popped into his head: Could it be that I am actually... a genius?

Lynch knew why he could suddenly unleash such an amazing spell.

His urgent desire to save his friend made his will more focused than ever before, thus unleashing all his magic at once.

In return, the spell's power was explosively enhanced.

The next time he casts this spell, it won't be as powerful.

But he has already experienced pushing his limits once, and his body will remember that feeling.

It won't provide any immediate benefit, but it will definitely help him on his future magical journey.

Lynch gave Ron another long look.

This little boy with red hair is one of the three main characters in the original story, which is certainly commendable.

Just as Lynch was pondering, the three young wizards in the room also recovered from their tense and fearful state. Harry pulled his wand out of the troll's nostril, and they began to discuss whether the troll was alive or dead at that moment.

But before they could exchange more than a few words, a loud footstep came from outside the room, clearly indicating that the commotion inside had alerted the people outside.

The wooden door, which had been partially ajar after hitting the wall, was suddenly flung open, and Professor McGonagall stormed in, wand in hand, her face grim.

After she rushed in, Lin Qi, who had a firm grasp of the overall situation, calmly walked in.

The crow jumped down from the water pipe on the ceiling and glided back onto his shoulder.

Immediately afterward, Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell arrived one after the other, seemingly appearing out of nowhere at the door.

Lin Qi glanced at the two of them.

Professor Quirrell glanced at the troll, then clutched his chest, let out a weak sob, and collapsed to the ground, as if unable to bear the horrific sight.

Professor Snape rushed into the room a step ahead, but his gait was noticeably unnatural, with a limp.

Lynch's gaze shifted downwards. Snape had just stood still, his billowing black robes still unsettled, revealing a blood-soaked, injured leg beneath.

Noticing Lynch's gaze, Snape calmly reached out his right hand, grabbed the edge of his black robe, and with a flick of his wrist, wrapped his legs back under the robe.

Lynch raised an eyebrow slightly, shifting his gaze from Snape's legs, which were hidden by the black robe.

"What are you three doing here?" Professor McGonagall looked at the giant lying on the ground in the center of the room and the three little wizards standing next to it, her lips turning pale with anger.

Harry and Ron, who had been so brave just moments before, both lowered their heads, timid and speechless, like two mice that had seen a cat, not daring to even breathe.

Hermione stepped forward at that moment, her voice trembling slightly, "Please don't, Professor McGonagall, they're looking for me..."

Harry stuck his wand into the troll's hole, and Ron knocked it unconscious with the troll's own club.

"You're saying... Mr. Weasley knocked out the troll?" Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Hermione.

Her eyes held a cold, angry rage that made her eyebrows almost pierce the brim of her hat.
