At the dinner long table, Gray was sitting beside Harry and Perona while holding a big book in front of him reading.
"Hey, Gray! Leave that book for some time! you're becoming more like Hermione" Ron beside Harry saw Gray focusing on the book again, and couldn't help but say.
But Gray didn't care about him and kept reading the book.
After about ten minutes, finally Gray ended the last page and closed the book while closing his eyes thinking of what he just read.
It's been more than a month since the *Book of even* accident, in this month Gray already copied many students in Hogwarts, but he still didn't start with the teachers, because he found out those books in the library are actually another treasure he never looked at.
Gray strength this month advanced to a very good level as a wizard. Even though he didn't copy the teachers and other strong wizards, but there are many different students here.
And not all of them are good at the same subject, which makes them better in other subjects, so Gray was pretty satisfied with all he got in this month.
"Hey, where is Hermione?" Harry looked around and saw Hermione wasn't there, so he asked.
Hearing Harry's question, Perona raised her head and looked at Ron beside Harry with scary eyes.
Seeing Perona's eyes, Ron was scared and wondered why she's looking at him like this.
Perona already became very well know in the school, after all, her ghosts can be seen more than the normal ghost here. Which also forced most of the students to give a funny show.
So most of the students are scared of her... After all, not everyone wants to kneel down and say something they will regret in the future...
But those ghosts also didn't really make any harm, so the teachers turned a blind eyes for the time being.
Neville who was eating beside them also looked at their side and told them about what he heard.
It turned out that another girl said Hermione was hiding in the girls' bathroom crying all day long.
Hearing Neville words everyone turned their heads at Ron, including Gray.
Most of them already knew what happened, Ron called Hermione a "nightmare," because she actually tried to teach him how to spell the Levitation Charm.
And yeah... It's a kids' problem.
While they are thinking about messy things, The hall-door was opened violently and Professor Quirinus Quirrell came in, freaking out, screaming that there's a Troll in the dungeon then fabulously fainted.
Looking at the fainted Quirrell, Gray couldn't help but want to give him 10 points... This guy acting talent is so brilliant... That he wants to extract it...
Professor Quirinus Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, the gentle and shy weak professor who's everyone laughs at because of his funny actions, and Voldemort soul vessel.
Quirrell already allowed the Troll to enter Hogwarts as a diversion, to take the chance and sneak to the restricted Third Floor Corridor where the Philosopher's Stone is being hidden.
Speaking of this stone, this is a real magical stone.
The Stone could turn any metal into pure gold and produced the Elixir of Life, which granted immortality.
Even though it can give immortality, but one has to consume the elixir on a regular basis. This means, that this elixir only prolong life by a few years each time a person takes it, and like this, the normal human will gain immortality...
Even though it's actually useless for Gray who needs not simply one or two years... But it should have a unique attribute he can extract! So it's worth trying.
If he found nothing, then he will simply gave it to Mary when he goes back to the main world since it can turn all metal to gold, she should like such a stone.
With Quirrell's words, almost everyone in the entire hall screamed with panic.
"SILENCE!" But Dumbledore stood up and screamed which calmed everyone again.
Dumbledore let all the students go back to their dorms under their house leaders leading, and he with the teachers will go to the dungeon.
While moving, Harry realized that Hermione still doesn't know about the Troll and wanted to go and warn her, so he wanted to go find her, but when he looked around, he only found Ron...
Gray and Perona have already disappeared from the place.
...
...
In the girl bathroom, Hermione who already calmed down from her frustration cleared her eyes and walked out, but when she walked out, she saw something that made her freeze in place.
In front of her, there is a huge ugly green figure with a very bad odor, holding a club in his hand looking at her confusingly.
Hermione didn't scream but started walking back calmly, trying not to provoke the Troll in front of her!!!
But maybe the Troll figured out what he should do, the troll raised his club and smashed toward her.
*Scream!* Hermione screamed from fear seeing the club about to hit her and directly wanted to dodge away.
"HraHraHra* But before she dodges, another huge ghost suddenly appeared from behind her and scared the troll a few steps back.
Seeing that big ghost, Hermione smiled, she know Perona should be around.
"UGHAAA" Seeing the ghost actually doing nothing, the troll was annoyed and wanted to attack again.
And at this time, another two kids already reached the bathroom and saw the Troll and Hermione.
Harry and Ron were planning to close the door and trap the troll here, but seeing that Hermione was also in the bathroom, they couldn't do this.
Gray who already appeared beside them quietly, stood there and looked at the troll with weird eyes.
He killed a few Trolls back when he was in The middle earth... But this Troll in front of him is so low compared to the Trolls he knows.
At least the middle earth Trolls possessed some intelligence...
Gray thought of something and smiled.
...
The Troll raised his club and wanted to attack Hermione, but the moment he raised his club Perona's ghost also suddenly broke up and became many small ghosts.
looking at all those small funny looked ghosts, the Troll was scared by this sudden change and waved his club trying to attack the annoying ghosts around him. But none of his attacks worked.
"Perona's ghosts are bloody irritating!" Ron looked at all those ghosts and said.
But maybe the ghost heard him, a few ghosts left the Troll side and went directly through him and went back to the Troll.
Looking at the kneeling Ron, Gray couldn't help but admire this boy courage... dare to say such a thing while Perona is around.
Gray refocused on the Troll who already gave up attacking and lowered his club from depression and sighed again... Perona's way of fighting is really unique and almost invincible.
A few ghosts around merged together then Perona appeared from within all these ghosts.
Perona with her witch uniform and the new witch hat floating in the air in the soul form looks really like a little ghost witch.
"Ugly thing! you're not cute at all!" As soon as Perona appeared she looked at the Troll and said.
Looking at the newly appeared Perona, the Troll felt a little motivation and wanted to attack again.
*Petrificus Totalus* But Gray's voice appeared from behind.
With Gray's words, the Troll froze in place and slowly fell down on his back while his hand still rising the club ready to attack.
*BOOM* The Troll fell down in front of Gray, Harry, and Ron.
Harry and Ron looked at Gray beside them who defeated this Troll with one hand swing and couldn't help but open their mouths with surprise.
"Gray! You said this one should be mine!!" Perona came out from the ground and said to Gray.
"You have wasted so much time.....Well ... You will have a chance in the future...." Gray wanted to say something but seeing Perona round eyes staring at him so closely, he changed his words and said he will allow her to play as much as she wants in the next time.
Then he looked at the Troll on the ground... Had to say this Troll looks really ugly...
"Awesome! Gray, how did you do this? What was that spell!" Ron who already recovered from Perona's ghost attack looked at Gray and said.
"Petrificus Totalus I know this spell! It's The Full Body-Bind Curse... I was also studying this curse... You can already use it!" Hermione who already came to their side also looked at Gray and explained.
Then she looked at Harry and Ron.
Seeing Hermione looking at them like this, Harry smile and felt good that she's safe, as for Ron he felt some guilt and didn't know what to say.
But Gray came to his side and said something on his ears. Which made Ron's face turn white and directly apologized to Hermione.
Seeing Ron's appearance Harry and Hermione couldn't help but smile.
"Oh my god! why are the three of you here! you better explain yourselves to me!" But suddenly Professor McGonagall's voice appeared from behind.
Professor McGonagall with Severus Snape and Professor Quirrell came together and looked at the Troll on the ground with shock.
Hearing her question, Harry and Hermione looked around then and found out that Gray and Perona actually disappeared!
