It stood twelve feet tall, its skin dull and gray like granite, its massive, clumsy body resembling a heap of giant mud-gravel, topped with a head the size of a cocoa bean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its short legs were as thick as tree stumps, ending in flat, calloused, coarse feet. The odor emanating from it was sickeningly foul. In its hand, it gripped a thick wooden club, which dragged along the ground due to its long arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll halted beside a door and peered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, at that exact moment, the door swayed slightly, suggesting someone inside was about to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sound of the opening door ceased quickly, because the troll, the foul-smelling troll, had squeezed itself into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean's speed nearly matched the troll's; aided by the Disillusionment Charm and the Silencing Charm, he effortlessly followed the beast into the lavatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lavatory was bare, seemingly empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet inside a stall, Hermione clamped her hands tightly over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A troll! It's a troll! A monster with a danger level of xxxx; young wizards stand no chance of fighting back against it! They would be too terrified to even cast a spell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice rampaged through Hermione's mind, and more terrifyingly, having cried for so long, she had no strength left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, shaken as she was, she likely could not even muster a simple Levitation Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione huddled in the stall, seeming on the verge of fainting at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean heard faint, suppressed breathing; through the half-open stall door, he saw Hermione's pallid face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were dim, her lips trembling; she tried to stand but lacked the strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean's gaze trembled; he sighed, casting aside all hesitation, and gently entered the stall as the Disillusionment Charm peeled off him like a receding tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calm expression flickered slightly; the troll had appeared early, making it meaningless to wait for Potter and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the crowd of young wizards fleeing rapidly toward their dormitories, Neville and Jia Jia Siting, rushing upstream against the flow, appeared exceedingly strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A troll, twelve feet tall, weighing over a ton, with thick skin, immune to most magical attacks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the words Professor Quirrell had repeated with a stuttering voice in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, even calling upon several young wizards to answer questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terror a troll inspired in young wizards was no less than that of a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, most young wizards rushing to their dormitories wore pallid faces, wishing they could grow extra legs to run faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think we'll die if the troll discovers us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young wizard asked his companion, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else do you expect? Do you think you're Wizard Sean? Dueling a troll, defeating a werewolf with bare hands, or even snatching a dragon egg right in front of a dragon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That young wizard made a joke with a pale face, but it did nothing to lighten the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting and Neville were already struggling to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Jia Jia Siting; having just come from the warm kitchens, he had not even had time to don a robe and was now shivering slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... Wizard Sean isn't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville tried to say something, but his words only made the atmosphere more oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing that Wizard Sean and Hermione could not possibly confront the troll, they ran even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of lightning tore across the sky, followed by a roaring thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind, the rain, and the pounding of his heart transformed in Jia Jia Siting's mind into a gentle female voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are about to enter the adult world of fierce struggle, my child; you must become impregnable.
