Chapter 20 The Halloween Troll

After seeing that Neville was not in his seat, William took Hermione to look for it.

After asking his classmates, William knew that Neville was sarcastically mocked by Malfoy, so he paced the corridor alone.

It made him hate Malfoy even more.

The difference from the original book is that Neville runs aimlessly alone, so it is naturally difficult to find him quickly.

Fortunately, William's Fool's Gold Coin gave him the ability to divination.

I saw that William held the gold coin in his left hand, put his magic wand in the palm of his right hand, and said silently in his heart:
"Find Neville Longbottom!"

"Find Neville Longbottom!"

"Find Neville Longbottom!"

After doing this three times, the wand suddenly fell down, pointing out a way to the left.

With a joy on William's face, he ran over with Hermione.

Finally, after several times of divination, William finally found Neville who was pacing down the corridor with his head down.

"Neville!" ×2
The cries of the two woke up Neville who was suffering.

"William, Hermione, you... why are you here!"

Neville said nervously and nervously.

William laughed:

"Today is Halloween. Everyone is in the auditorium. I saw that you didn't go there. I was a little worried, so I came to see you."

Upon hearing this, Neville stammered and said:
"Thank... thank you!"

Hermione said indignantly:
"Neville, don't worry about Malfoy and the others. They will bully you in the future. William and I will help you!"

Neville was immediately moved:
"Thank you! Why are you being so nice to me?"

William said:

"We are friends! Besides, you also helped us at the station back then, and we promised your grandma to take care of you!"

He shivered at the mention of Neville's grandma.

Seeing Neville so afraid of his grandma, William couldn't help being a little embarrassed, he shouldn't have mentioned his grandma on this occasion.

Hermione changed the subject and said:
"Let's go back quickly, the Halloween dinner is about to begin!"

With that said, the three of them walked towards the auditorium.

After a while, when passing by a bathroom, a stench suddenly hit.

Hermione immediately covered her nose and exclaimed:
"What's going on? Why is it so smelly?"

William immediately became vigilant because he sensed the danger from ahead.

He whispered:
"Be careful, this is probably the smell of the troll."

Hermione exclaimed:
"How is it possible? How could the troll enter the castle?"

Neville's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he stood there tremblingly at a loss.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Heavy footsteps sounded, apparently the troll was coming to them.

Hermione and William drew out their wands and looked ahead warily.

An ugly giant creature with a foul smell appeared in front of them.

Disgusting saliva, a huge mace, and it really is a giant monster as William said.

At this time, the troll also found the three little wizards in front of him, and rushed towards the three of them holding a mace as if he saw something delicious.

"Fall!"

William flicked his wand lightly, but he was using his extraordinary ability.

Sure enough, the troll was hit, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground immediately.

Hermione cooperated closely, aimed at the target, and shouted in a low voice:

"Wingardim Leviosa."

The mace in the troll's hand immediately came out, and was suspended in the air by Hermione's control.

Seeing this, the giant immediately wanted to get up and get back his weapon, struggling to stand up.

But how could William let him do what he wanted, freezing him and serving him with electric shocks, so that he couldn't stand up.

Hermione immediately cast the Transfiguration Curse, controlled the mace into a sharp giant sword, and chopped it down towards the giant monster's neck.

Finally, with the tacit cooperation of the two, the giant monster was killed in front of Neville.

Hermione and William's powerful performance planted a seed in his heart.

"Ah... you... why are you here? Who did this?"

Professor McGonagall's voice of astonishment and anger sounded behind the three of them. At this moment, she did not have the pride of the three little wizards defeating the troll, but a deep sense of fear and worry.

Seeing this, William hurried forward and explained:

"Professor McGonagall, it's like this..."

William quickly said that Neville was bullied by Malfoy and others, and he and Hermione came to look for it, and happened to encounter a troll.

Professor McGonagall also learned that the three did not know that the troll had broken into the castle, so they did not deduct points from the three.

Soon, Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick and other senior officials of the school all came, looking in shock at the troll killed by William and Hermione.

Finally, Professor Dumbledore said:
"William and Hermione, who enthusiastically helped their classmates and bravely defeated the troll, are rewarded with 40 points in total!
Alright, everyone go back to rest and tell the students by the way that the troll has been dealt with. "

Everyone dispersed after hearing the words, Hermione was still immersed in the excitement of earning 40 points for the academy.

Dumbledore took a deep look at William.

William also felt Dumbledore's gaze, but years of patience made him control himself, pretending he didn't know anything.

Snape frowned and asked:

"What? Is there something wrong with him?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"No, it's just that his talent reminds me of Tom."

Speaking of Tom, Snape's expression also changed...

The news spread quickly among Hogwarts. When William and the two returned to the Ravenclaw lounge, they received the attention of all Ravenclaws.

Hermione, who had never experienced such a scene, suddenly ran back to her room shyly.

William also returned to his bedroom calmly.

After they left, there was a burst of discussion in the lounge, apparently the Ravenclaws didn't want to be nerds like they appeared on the surface.

When William returned to the bedroom, he was thinking about Neville's question.

When Neville was a child, he saw his parents being tortured by Death Eaters with his own eyes, and was subsequently cast with the Amnestic Curse many times in St. Munger's Hospital, which damaged his brain and even his soul.

In fact, Neville's talent is still extremely powerful, and he will even be recognized by Gryffindor in the future, and has a strong talent in herbal medicine, which is very suitable for the cultivation path.

However, William's idea was to help Neville recover his soul first, and as for the cultivator's path, it would depend on the future.

As for what happened to Neville, there are two ways, one is that the psychiatrist on the audience path is easier to deal with, and the other is the soul gold coins that he has absorbed before.

Relatively speaking, soul gold coins may be faster, because Professor Quirrell still has a remnant soul of Voldemort behind his head.

If things went well, at the end of first year they could try to mend Neville's damaged soul.

Later, William began to pay attention to his "believers". Although suppressed by the Holy See, more and more people believed in the god of wealth and business.

The previous beliefs were spiritual sustenance for believers, but now beliefs can also make themselves richer.

Sometimes believers are so "simple" in their minds.

As the number of believers skyrocketed, William gained more faith.

Thinking of the mysterious power mastered by the people of the Holy See before, William decided to make his loyal followers stronger.

Although the people of the Holy See have mastered the mysterious power, they will also be eroded by the power of faith, and eventually lose themselves and become puppets who only know faith.
