"Wingadim Leviosa ~"
As the troll slowly approached, Ivan whispered the incantation for the Levitation Charm, and a few rock cakes on the ground slowly floated up so that the troll could see them and not step on them.
Ivan, however, was still a little apprehensive, fearing that the troll was not as stupid as the book claimed and would see through the trap.
Ivan soon discovered that the troll was even more stupid than he had first thought. It did not even have the vigilance of a normal creature. It simply grabbed the food in front of it and shoved it into its mouth, not caring how it got there.
The troll even threw its club on the ground in an attempt to grab it, making Ivan wonder if Quirrell had been secretly withholding food from the troll and keeping the gold Galleons he saved in his pocket.
Ivan's nervous expression relaxed after a while, and he gently touched the pocket of his wizard's robe with his left hand. It seemed that his well-prepared escape plan would not work.
However, to Ivan's surprise, a few minutes later, instead of collapsing, the troll twitched its nose as if it wanted to sniff for other food.
Ivan was stunned. In order to make sure the plan worked, he had used enough force to take down several adult wizards, but the troll did not react at all.
This is not scientific at all…Bah…This is not magical!
Could it be that the potion he brewed was more watery?
Yvonne looked at her third-level Potions, more or less unsure.
"Ah ~"
Yvonne was debating whether or not to attack when a high-pitched voice broke the awkward silence.
Ivan, who was hiding in the secret passage, spotted Hermione, who had suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor. The troll picked up the stick from the floor again and rushed towards her excitedly.
Yvonne understood the moment she saw the troll move that Hermione must have been attracted by the sound of the club hitting the ground.
Ivan cursed under his breath. If he had known, he would have set the trap further away.
Of course, Ivan was just saying that. Any further and he wouldn't have been able to tell if a troll was coming through.
Hermione, on the other hand, was thrown into a panic by the terrifying pressure of the troll's approach. Her brain was trying to send messages to her body to escape, but her legs were so weak that she could barely stand.
As Yvonne had expected, Hermione, who had been crying in the bathroom, was curious to see what was going on because of the ground shaking and the loud thud of the stick hitting the floor.
However, Hermione never imagined that she would see a troll in the corridors of Hogwarts.
Just as Hermione thought she was going to die, a voice called out.
"Fear descends!"
A bright purple light shot out from the other side, and the troll's size made it almost impossible for the spell to miss. The moment the Fear Charm hit, the troll stopped running and stood there in a daze. Ivan, who had been hiding in the secret passage, also came out.
"Ivan!" Like a drowning woman grasping at straws, Hermione threw herself at Ivan and hugged him, tears still welling in her eyes.
Ivan, however, did not let his guard down. He used his free left hand to break free from Hermione's grip, and his right hand was still holding his wand, constantly increasing the power of the Fear Charm.
Hermione blushed, but soon noticed that something was wrong with the troll, as she had expected Ivan to overpower it with a charm.
"What happened to it?" Hermione whispered.
Ivan did not reply, but motioned for Hermione to stop talking, his eyes never leaving the troll. This was the first time Ivan had seen this since he had used the Fear Charm.
In an attempt to instill enough fear into the troll, Ivan used the Fear Charm to duplicate the three-headed dog Norway he had previously encountered, enlarging it and replacing it with Hermione.
The troll, who had been hit by the Fear Curse, was also very puzzled. How did the shorty in front of it, who was originally wearing strange clothes, inexplicably transform into a huge three-headed dog? Moreover, its image was vaguely familiar, but it seemed to have gained a lot of weight compared to its impression. Could it be that it had recently secretly added food?
Now what? Hermione said nothing this time, but she did give him a look.
Ivan was silent for a while, but he was reluctant to give up the opportunity. Time was of the essence, and the Professor could arrive at any time.
If he missed this opportunity, he would have to go under the trapdoor guarded by the three-headed dog, Fluffy, in order to defeat the troll again.
With this in mind, Ivan mouthed the words for Hermione to use the Levitation Charm to snatch the troll's club and smash it on its head.
That's right, it's the way Harry and Ron defeated the troll in the book, and even if they didn't succeed, they would have been able to take the troll's weapon.
Hermione was suspicious of Ivan's wild plan, but was prepared to carry it out out out of trust.
However, the troll's wand was faster than Hermione's spell!
After many unsuccessful attempts to communicate with him, the mindless troll decided to attack in a fit of rage. Its monstrous strength combined with its club, which was thicker than an adult's waist, made Ivan feel the threat of death.
In the nick of time, Ivan used his final trump card, and the number of GPA points remaining in the system dropped to single digits. The next instant, Ivan's mind was a hundred times faster.
The club's landing point, as well as the troll's possible follow-up actions, flashed through Ivan's mind, and he spun around, grabbing Hermione and rolling awkwardly on the ground.
Behind him, there was a loud noise, and a large chunk of the solid wall had been knocked out by the troll, scattering powder all over the floor.
Ivan's fear spell was broken, and the troll knew that it had been tricked, even if it was stupid. It raised its stick and was about to give chase, but before it could take more than two steps, it suddenly felt dizzy, and it stumbled and hit its head against the wall. It was the effect of the powerful Sleeping Potion it had taken earlier.
Taking advantage of the troll's dazed state, Ivan sprang to his feet and pulled Hermione a dozen feet away from the troll, which had regained its senses and was apparently resistant to Ambien.
Although the troll did not know why it was suddenly stunned, it was never wrong to kill the two dwarves on the ground. It immediately rushed towards them in anger.
A dozen meters was not too far for a troll, but it was enough for Ivan to cover in a few seconds!
