HP: Azkaban's Outstanding Graduate

As a girl with a strong sense of self-esteem, Hermione Granger excelled academically from a young age, and even at Hogwarts, she was an outstanding young wizard.

She didn't understand why everyone disliked her. Did strictly following school rules and not doing anything against the rules make her unpopular?

Inside the restroom, Granger hid alone in a stall and cried.

————————————————————

Sagrass's gaze swept over the students who were eating heartily, and finally landed on the famous Harry Potter.

As a time traveler, he actually had a question in his mind all along.

Because he knew nothing about the plot, only that Harry, as the savior, ultimately defeated Voldemort, he had been pondering a question based on his own experiences over the years.

That is, the task of defeating Voldemort was accomplished eleven years ago, when Harry was still a baby. So what exactly did that world-renowned fantasy novel from his previous life describe? How did a baby defeat Voldemort?

This isn't right!

He considered countless possibilities, but ultimately failed to reach a conclusion.

Perhaps Voldemort isn't dead?

Sagres was lost in thought in his professor's chair when suddenly a terrified scream came from the auditorium entrance.

"Troll!"

Professor Quirrell rushed into the hall in a panic, shouting as he ran, "A troll! In the underground classroom..."

He ran straight to Dumbledore, panting, and said, "I thought you should know..."

Then he collapsed to the ground and passed out.

Boom!

The hall erupted in chaos. The young wizards stood up, their faces filled with terror, shouting and screaming.

Sagles looked at the chaotic auditorium without saying a word; he even remained seated calmly in his chair.

Although he had some doubts in his heart.

How could a troll appear in Hogwarts Castle?

Moreover, Quirrell's behavior was somewhat irrational. Sagres knew he was a bit timid and cowardly, and he could understand being flustered, but to just faint like that...

"quiet!"

Dumbledore raised his wand and made several loud noises, and the noisy Great Hall fell silent again.

"Prefects, lead the students back to their dormitories."

"The professors came with me to the underground classroom to deal with the troll."

The old headmaster's composure calmed the young wizards down.

The students huddled together under the prefect's direction. Ron looked at Harry and whispered, "Hermione doesn't know there are trolls! She's still crying in the girls' restroom!"

Harry realized what was happening and immediately made a decision: "We have to go and tell her..."

Ron, with a bitter expression, didn't argue and followed Harry as they slipped out of the group amidst the chaos...

Upon hearing Dumbledore's instructions, Sargeras stood up and beckoned to Lochteus on the chandelier. The raven immediately swooped down and landed steadily on his arm.

Sacramento and several professors headed to the underground classroom, during which Dumbledore and Snape broke away from the group and disappeared.

However, when they arrived at the underground classroom, they did not find the giant.

Professor McGonagall looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "Not here, there are no trolls here..."

“It’s been here; I can smell it,” Sagres said casually, looking around at his surroundings.

Professor McGonagall nodded, then said to the other two professors, "Felius, you and Sprout go and watch the students. Don't let them come over. Sagres..."

“I know.” Sagres nodded, waved his hand to release the raven, and said solemnly, “Find it!”

"Gah~"

Lochteis flew into the corridor, quickly searching every passage.

Sagres squinted, silently watching the image reflected in its eyes.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from inside the girls' restroom. Loctis, who was flying in the corridor, immediately turned around and shot into the restroom door like an arrow.

Inside the washroom, the monstrous figure came into view.

This is a mountain troll with gray skin, a bumpy body, and flat, horny feet. But there are not only trolls here, but also three disheveled little wizards.

"Swift as a shadow, invisible as a shadow"

Sagles vanished from the professors' sight in an instant...

The bathroom was in complete chaos; the sink and stalls were smashed, and water was gushing out from the burst pipes.

Hermione huddled in the corner, too frightened to move.

Ron Weasley is throwing a piece of broken wood at a troll not far away.

Harry was held upside down in the air by the troll's ankles.

The troll, holding a wooden stick in one hand and Harry in the other, was poised to give the young wizard a whack.

The raven immediately let out a piercing cry...

————————————————————

Hermione Granger was filled with regret. She looked at the gray-black monster that was more than ten feet tall and felt nothing but despair.

All her previous courage vanished at that moment as she watched Harry Potter climb onto the troll's back to save her and plunge his wand into the troll's nostril.

She wanted to help, but her legs were trembling and she couldn't even stand up.

For a moment, she felt that everything she had experienced was an absurd dream.

At first, she thought it was a beautiful dream about magic, but suddenly a terrifying giant appeared in the dream.

Now the wooden stick is about to be swung, and as the boy is whipped into pieces, his beautiful dream will be shattered, and everything will quickly turn into a nightmare from which he cannot wake up.

Desperate Hermione huddled helplessly in the corner... and then she witnessed a strange scene—the new professor's raven flew in through the door, and after a piercing cry, Professor Greengrass appeared out of thin air.

He raised his wand at the giant and decisively and coldly recited the spell.

"Scarlet Tear"

A crimson light shot out from the tip of the staff and struck the giant in the blink of an eye.

"Splash!"

The mountain-sized monster instantly turned into minced meat, and the powerful magical fluctuations blew the collapsing flesh against the bathroom wall, casting a huge scarlet shadow.

The troll died just like that.

The three young wizards were safe, but they were still in shock, especially Harry, who was covered in the troll's blood and entrails, and the stench made him want to vomit.

"Completely cleaned and refreshed"

Sagras put away his wand and pointed at the three students.

An invisible wave of energy swept over them, and the three of them were instantly refreshed. The grime on their wizard robes was removed, the cold sweat and tears disappeared, and even the stray hairs stuck to their foreheads were dry and smooth.

Ignoring the three stunned people, Sagrais continued casting the spell.

"Restored to its original condition!"

The damaged sink was restored to its original state, and the splashed water returned from the puddle on the ground to the broken water pipe.

He then picked up a wand from the ground, glanced at the three of them, and shoved it back into Harry's hand.

The three young wizards were about to say something when Sargeras raised his hand to stop them.

"Corpses are flying in!"

Minced meat rose from the ground, coalescing into a sphere, while blood seeped from the cracks, turning into thin lines.

A sphere wrapped in a thin thread flew slowly in and hovered in front of everyone.

“No need to explain.” He smiled slightly. “You should save your excuses for your dean. I bet she won’t be too happy to see you here later.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than hurried footsteps came from the doorway.

Snape, Quirrell, and Professor McGonagall appeared together at the door.

Chapter 8 Aftermath

The three professors who had just arrived looked at the tidy washroom with puzzled expressions.

“It was a twelve-foot-tall mountain behemoth, and I’ve already dealt with it,” Sagres said calmly and composedly.

The professors' expressions varied, and Snape couldn't help but ask, "Solve it? How? Knock it out? Banish it? Or kill it?"

“The situation was a bit critical just now, so for Mr. Potter’s safety, I had to resort to some drastic measures…” Sagres showed everyone the floating sphere of corpses, which made the group frown frequently, but it also answered their questions.

Once everyone understood the situation, Sagles nodded and snapped his fingers at the sphere.

"Peng~"

A white flame suddenly rose up, engulfing the spherical corpse. In the blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes. A gentle breeze swirled by, carrying the last bit of ashes into the toilet and closing the lid.

Splash!

The flush button was pressed, and the enormous monster was completely dealt with...

Professor McGonagall then noticed that there were three young wizards in the bathroom, and to make matters worse, all three of them were from Gryffindor.

"What are you three doing here?" Professor McGonagall demanded sharply, her lips turning white with anger. She pointed at Ron, who was closest to her, and said sternly, "Weasley, you tell me what's going on here!"

The red-haired boy stepped forward hesitantly, his mind racing with all sorts of excuses, but none of them seemed to make sense.

So he gave up, hanging his head helplessly and admitting his mistake: "I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, it was..."

“It’s me, it’s me who came to find the trolls…” Hermione interrupted Ron, trembling, and said first, “I read about them in books and thought I could deal with them… Harry and Ron came to save me.”

Professor McGonagall was somewhat surprised; she probably hadn't expected that Miss Granger, who was always so easy to manage, could be so reckless.

However, she quickly put on a stern face and solemnly announced her verdict to Hermione: "Miss Granger, your stupidity has cost the House five points!"

Hermione lowered her head in disappointment. Professor McGonagall then turned to the two boys and said, "And Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, the courage you showed by standing up for your classmate when he was in danger will earn you five points each in the House."
