Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 680 Take action

"Are you really going to compete with Malfoy, Harry?!"

Hermione turned sideways and glared at Harry sternly, "I must remind you, Harry, don't take any chances. If Professor Blaine knew about this, he would definitely expel all the participants from his class. He always does what he says!”

Hermione raised her voice to ensure that the three Malfoys across from her could hear him, and her warning did have a certain effect.

Standing behind Draco is a quiet little witch with blond hair and blue eyes. She is Astoria from the Greengrass family. She and her sister Daphne Greengrass are both Slytherins. A student at the academy, Astoria is much more effeminate compared to the aggression her sister usually displays.

After following Draco into the classroom, Astoria remained silent and watched the development of the situation quietly. But after hearing Hermione say this, she couldn't hold back the worry hidden in her heart.

"Would you like to reconsider this, Draco?"

Wearing black leather boots, Astoria stood on tiptoes to reach Draco's ears.

"If you, Potter, or one of you are seriously injured in the duel, Madam Pomfrey will definitely notify Professor Snape or Professor McGonagall, so that even if you want to hide the duel, you can't. , the matter will definitely reach Professor Blaine’s ears.”

Hesitation flashed in Draco's gray eyes, but this was when he noticed that there was provocation in Potter's cold eyes, so his uncertain determination immediately became firm,

"This has nothing to do with you, Astoria!" Draco raised his head and said arrogantly, "Just do as you say, Potter, the duel will be between the two of us. I am Slater. I swear on the name of Lin Academy that no matter what the outcome of this duel is, I promise that Pansy and Astoria will keep it a secret!"

"Malfoy's words never count, Harry, don't be fooled!"

If the outcome was decided with fists, Ron might have already taken practical action, but he had already heard about the rules of physical education class and he definitely didn't want to see Harry being expelled from a physical education class that many people wanted to enter but had no way to enter because of him. class.

"Your family has trampled the honor of the pure-blood family into disgrace, Weasley--"

Draco lowered his face and said,

"But that doesn't mean other people of noble birth don't care either!"

"I swear on the name of Gryffindor—"

An inexplicable restlessness was raging and boiling in Harry's blood. He was now looking forward to what would happen later. He didn't listen to a word of what Ron and Hermione muttered in front of him, and Just pull out the wand and point it vertically at the ceiling.

"I swear on the name of Gryffindor House that no matter how the duel is combined, Ron, Hermione, and I will never leak the fact that this duel happened!"

"Oh, don't even think about it, Harry!" Hermione said fiercely.

However, Harry had already broken free from her restraints and took the lead in walking towards the center of the classroom, with a firmness and determination in his back and steps.

snort--

Draco snorted softly. He turned to look at Pansy and Astoria. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Astoria,

"Go and stand guard outside the door. If anyone comes near this classroom, come in and let me know--"

After that, before Astoria could say anything, she took off her robe and threw it into Pansy's arms, and walked forward.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say.

Harry and Draco stood in the center of the classroom, lined up on the left and right sides, about sixty or seventy feet apart, looking at each other with focused eyes.

"Do you think Harry can win, Hermione?"

If it was the first and second years, Ron knew the level of Harry and Malfoy, but now, he has no idea what the strength of the two people who have been personally trained by Professor Blaine is. In order to take care of Ron's mood, Harry and Hermione seldom showed off anything in front of him. Ron still heard many things from the mouths of Fred and George. “I can’t tell, Ron—”

Looking at the two people in the confrontation, Hermione frowned. She recalled Draco's performance during usual practice.

"But Draco is by no means easy to deal with. His team lasted the longest under Professor Blaine-"

The red setting sun gradually disappeared below the ground line, struggling for the last ray of afterglow. Sensing the coming darkness, the torches on the walls of the classroom lit up with a roar, and the firelight shone in Harry and Draco's eyes, as if there were torches burning again in their pupils!

In the air, there was both scorching heat and depression. As they bowed and knelt down, a strange thought suddenly came into the minds of the two people who were ready to go. Although there had been several conflicts between them in the past few years, when it came to fists, It's not rare to use a magic wand, but this time, it was like the first time he really did it. There was a sense of fateful duel.

Like the armor behind them, Harry and Draco remained motionless in their offensive postures, their eyes firmly locked on each other.

"What's going on? Why are they standing still like statues?"

Ron thought that the battle would break out immediately, but in fact, neither Harry nor Draco made a move, maintaining their petrified postures. Except for the sharp light in their eyes, they didn't seem to even blink.

"Keep your voice down, Ron, the duel has already begun -" Hermione lowered her voice and said quickly, "They are looking for their own weaknesses. You know, Professor Blaine said that people believe in striking first, but many times, The person who strikes first is also more likely to be caught -"

Ron pursed his lips. He wanted to shout, 'I don't know! ’, but at least he now understands that the confrontation between Harry and Malfoy has begun in a weird way!

When the confrontation actually began, Harry and Draco really realized the difficulty. They were both students of Professor Brain. Professor Brain taught them the same experience. In this case, they wanted to take the upper hand. ,is very difficult.

Harry's eyes flashed. He didn't want to admit it, but the reality was that he couldn't find any flaw in Malfoy's alert posture, and he believed that the reason why Malfoy didn't take action must be because he encountered the same person as him. Difficulties.

But, are they going to continue to confront each other like this?

Click!

At this moment, the door of the physical education classroom was suddenly pushed open. Except for Harry and Draco, everyone in the classroom subconsciously looked towards the door.

It was Astoria Greengrass who had just gone out on guard under Draco's order.

"Longbottom is here, he is walking this way at the other end of the corridor and I didn't let him find me!"

As soon as these words came out, Hermione suddenly became happy. She thought that the duel was going to be impossible, but--

Unexpectedly, the two people in the confrontation chose to take action at the same time!

Harry was faster. He raised his hand and fired quickly, and a red bolt as thick as a thumb with an electric lock attached shot out, spanning dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, aiming at Draco's arm.

boom!

Unexpectedly, Draco did not choose to attack. He sideways dodged Harry's disarming spell. At the same time, he pointed his wand into the void in front of him. With an explosion, a thick black mist erupted from the void. squeezed into everyone's field of vision.

In the violent churning, the black mist expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it not only completely obscured Draco's figure from Harry's sight, but also spread in all directions, as if it would cover the entire classroom before it would stop!

The sight in front of him stunned Harry for a moment. In his usual training, he had never seen Malfoy use such magic. However, in a flash of thought, Harry immediately understood Malfoy's intention - to seal his Vision!

Staying still was the stupidest choice. Harry's figure faltered for a moment, and then he moved sideways like an arrow. While staying away from the expanding black mist, he was alert to whether there would be unexpected attacks in the black mist. , and it turned out that Harry's guess was correct.

His feint did induce Malfoy. From the black fog that had become slightly thinner due to the expansion, a black shadow shot out like cold lightning, breaking through the black fog and rushing viciously towards where Harry was standing.

The black python was charging too fast, unable to turn around in mid-air, and hit the armor under the side wall heavily. Angry, it quickly coiled up its body, bounced back like a spring that was compressed to the extreme, and rushed towards Harry. . At the same time, on the other side of the defense line, a shadow suddenly swam out again.

Two black pythons were attacking from two directions, one in the sky and one underground!

Harry judged in an instant that he could not be faster or more agile than Malfoy's python. He could use the Iron Armor Curse to resist the first wave of attacks from the two black pythons, but then he would fall into decline because The iron armor spell cannot kill these two pythons. It can only block the frontal attack. If they surround you and fight with you. Don't forget, these two black pythons can move on their own without Malfoy's control. It's just that his movements will be much slower, and Malfoy will definitely attack again while he is restrained by the black python!
