Chapter 163 Weiwei forced to replenish her magic power (12,000 words)
The only message Cassandra left in the vault was that letter.
But...
At least the two flowers were still alive, proving that the person who cast magic on the flowers was still alive.
The question now is where Cassandra is and which Merlin ruins it is.
Harry, who used to think that Merlin had too few trials, suddenly felt that Merlin was doing nothing and leaving so many ruins in Britain.
While Harry was rummaging through things in Gringotts' vault, Vivi also returned to school.
She searched around the Great Hall but couldn't find Harry.
"Hermione, where's Harry?" Vivi sat next to Hermione.
Hermione thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, Sister Vivi, it seems that Harry went to ask for leave from Principal Dumbledore..."
"Asking for leave?" Vivi was stunned. Could it be that Harry had something else to do in the Muggle world?
With such doubts, she planned to ask Dumbledore.
Before she could leave, the Weasley twins sitting next to her spoke.
"I know what Harry did-"
"Yes, Fred, I know it too." George said in harmony: "Of course, we will not hide it from you, dear Miss Grindelwald."
The clones were very good at seeing what others were doing, and the moment Weiwei frowned, she chose to follow her heart.
"You probably don't know that the parrot tore up Harry's notebook, the one with C.C. written on it." Fred didn't see what the words behind it were, he only remembered C.C.
"C.C.?" Weiwei thought of Cassandra almost without any thought.
Cassandra Cecilia Malfoy, isn't her abbreviation C.C. Malfoy?
While Vivi was talking about Cassandra, Hermione quietly pushed poor little Jack aside so that Vivi wouldn't see it.
In order to change the subject, Hermione took her notebook and timidly stepped forward and said: "Sister Weiwei, there is something I don't understand here. Can you help me answer it?"
Weiwei didn't refuse, she actually really liked Hermione.
Even though Hermione is a little smarter than ordinary people, Hermione is only in her second year after all. As a terrifying transfer student, Weiwei is very easy to answer her questions.
She even thought about why Gellert tore up Cassandra's notebook.
Is it possible that Gale thinks that Potter is too carefree?
Hmm... Even if he is a biological brother, he can't protect his sister like this. He should be a little more generous. After all, Cassandra's life or death is uncertain now.
But Gail was doing well, she thought.
Not long after, Harry came back from outside the auditorium.
He didn't return empty-handed, after all, Cassandra left him two robes as gifts.
Harry didn't know what was going on with this robe. It looked brand new, but it had an intoxicating fragrance.
The smell was familiar, it belonged to Cassandra, and even after all this time, it still hadn't dissipated.
The habit of many years cannot be changed in a short time. Harry put one of the robes on his body smoothly, without any psychological baggage.
Hi, it’s not like I haven’t worn them before.
Of course, Harry didn't buy Vivi a gift. After all, it was Valentine's Day. In fact, he originally wanted to buy it, but whenever he thought of Cassandra, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Seeing Harry coming back from outside the auditorium, Hermione left Vivi's side knowingly.
"Vivian." Harry saw Vivi at first sight. He walked to her side and greeted him with a smile: "Happy holidays——"
Having said that, Weiwei took out a watch from her arms, a watch that was particularly popular among Muggles.
"What is this?" Harry asked with interest.
"Watch." Vivi grabbed Harry's hand and put it on him carefully, "Here, it looks suitable."
Harry lowered his head and took a look. This kind of children's electronic watch was indeed suitable for him.
"I have asked the Muggle boss who sells this watch to help me calibrate the time. It can also display the date." Weiwei pointed to the dial with some joy and treasures and said: "Look, this is the first time I have seen this. Watches that can display numbers are very cheap. You can buy a watch with a cute bunny on it for only 3.99 pounds. I also bought one.”
With that said, Vivi raised her wrist and showed Harry an electronic watch of the same style - but Vivi's watch had a bird printed on it.
"Wow! How cute!" Hermione said at the right time: "You two look so perfect for each other - I mean the watch."
Weiwei was extremely satisfied when she heard this.
"You have one too, Hermione." Vivi took out another watch with a little squirrel on it and handed it to Hermione.
Hermione took it and looked down.
"Viv, the watch seems to have run out of power." Harry raised his hand and said, "Look, it doesn't even have time to run."
Vivi quickly turned around, reached for Harry's wrist, and asked in surprise: "How could this happen?"
A small fire suddenly lit up in her heart.
Damn Muggles, how dare you sell me something of such poor quality, I must...
"Ah, I remembered!" Hermione said: "The use of Muggle electronic products is not allowed in Hogwarts. This should not only be a school rule of Hogwarts. In fact, electronic products will be banned if they enter Hogwarts." Automatic failure, that’s it.”
"So that's it..."
Weiwei is not an unreasonable person. This problem obviously has nothing to do with the Muggle boss. Even if she wants to refund the money, she will not be unreasonable.
She sat slumped on the bench, looking ahead blankly, muttering: "My money...my money..."
Harry knew that she was worried about money.
Even if it is less than four pounds, Weiwei cherishes it because when she was a child, she was really afraid of poverty.
"I like this style very much, Vivi." Harry said softly: "But don't worry, didn't Mr. Flamel come to live near Hogwarts? Maybe we can ask him for help and let him help us Can this electronic watch be used in Hogwarts if it is modified? ”
"You're right!" Weiwei regained her energy: "Yes, and there is Mr. Flamel... I think as a legendary alchemist, he will definitely have a good way to help us transform this electronic watch!"< br>
Hermione opened her mouth. What she actually wanted to say was that it was just a few pounds and not worth bothering Mr. Flamel.
But her emotional intelligence is not low, and she knows that it is not appropriate to say such things.
The Granger family's family situation is good. Aside from the fact that Mr. Granger himself is a person with extremely keen financial sense, the profession of dentistry itself is a high-income group.
What's more, the Granger family runs a clinic, which can make much more money than an ordinary dentist.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Granger family is at the top of the class even among the middle class.
In addition, the Granger family only had one daughter, Hermione, and Mr. Granger doted on this only daughter.
So for something like a few pounds, a legendary alchemist was asked to help. This in itself is a bit like using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes.
It's true that it's overkill.
After regaining her energy, Vivi hooked her hand at Harry and motioned for him to follow her.
Harry followed her all the way to the abandoned classroom on the second floor.
Vivi turned around and looked at Harry, opening his arms.
However, just when she was about to hug Harry, Vivi suddenly sniffed.
She smelled of other women!
Vivi was instantly alert and looked at Harry.
"What...do you smell like?"
Harry didn't react, so he took the clothes and smelled them, and said in confusion: "It doesn't smell like anything, I didn't smell anything..."
"No, that's not right." Vivi stared at Harry: "This smell is very familiar. I seem to have smelled it somewhere..."
As she spoke, she was still rapidly searching in her mind for the girls she had met recently.
Miss Farley?
No, no, there is a clear difference between the scent of Miss Farley and this smell. Miss Farley's scent is softer.
Hermione?
That was even more impossible. Weiwei ruled out Hermione as an option almost immediately.
No, no, this smell...
Weiwei suddenly remembered an old friend.
impossible!
Isn't she trapped in a secret room somewhere? Why does Harry smell like her? !
"Is it Cassandra?" Vivi looked at Harry calmly: "Has she successfully escaped from the predicament?"
When Vivi said this, Harry remembered that he was still wearing Cassandra's robe.
"Oh, you misunderstood, Weiwei."
Harry scratched his head and said: "I found Cassandra's deposit slip in the notebook, so I went to Gringotts... Well, the clothes I'm wearing are gifts from Cassandra."< br>
Weiwei: ()? !
She never expected that Cassandra, whose life or death was uncertain, could suddenly jump out and deliver a Valentine's Day gift before her? !
No,
notebook?
"Notebook?" Weiwei asked softly: "You mean...that Cassandra's notebook?"
"Yes, it was torn." Harry said casually, not wanting to mention Jack.
Weiwei's eyes suddenly became subtle, and she turned her head to look in the direction of Gellert's tent.
Gellert, who was teasing Sniff in the tent, suddenly sneezed twice.
He subconsciously tightened his clothes, feeling that something was not quite right.
It's obviously warm as spring in the tent, why do I still feel cold?
Weiwei, who was in the abandoned classroom on the second floor, decided that she would teach Gellert a lesson soon, so that he would tear up other people's notebooks without being so mean.
Oh, did you provoke that woman?
She just remembered the "parrot" the twin brother said, and thought the "parrot" was referring to Gellert.
Weiwei never even thought that this "parrot" could be a real parrot...
But...
Weiwei decided that the little Harry in front of her should be taught a lesson.
"Harry." Vivi said as if chanting: "Did Cassandra tell you not to wear her clothes when you are with other women?"
Harry remembered the armor removal incident and said to Vivi: "Do you still remember when we were trialing together at the ruins of Merlin? I gave you the clothes to wear that time. After I returned, Cassandra I was very angry and even asked me to take off my clothes..."
Weiwei was stunned for a few seconds.
She really didn't expect that Cassandra would behave in such a childish way.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" she asked condescendingly.
Harry thought that he would need to replenish his magic power later, so he said to Vivi: "Okay, how about I take off my clothes now?"
"No."
Vivi grabbed Harry and locked him in her arms.
"That's good," she whispered slowly in Harry's ear, "We always want Cassandra to have some sense of involvement, don't we?"
"No, that's not good."
Harry struggled for a while, but Vivi's arms became tighter and tighter, making him unable to breathe.
……
At noon the next day, everyone was surprised to find that Assistant Coach Gale, who came to the auditorium for dinner, had a splint on his arm, one eye was swollen like Neville's toad, and he was limping on his leg.
"What's wrong with him?" Ron asked with concern. He had a good impression of this assistant coach who always gave him advice.
"I don't know." Harry was also confused. He knew that Gellert's injuries must have been caused by Vivi, but he didn't know why.
But...
This guy really deserves a beating. The last time he was in Nurmengard, he was obviously beaten lightly.
At this moment, Gellert turned his head and smiled sinisterly at Harry.
Scarhead, what kind of pillow wind did you give my sister again?
He really couldn't understand that in the morning, while eating baked beans and singing songs, he was suddenly beaten by his sister...
When Jack the Parrot saw the miserable Gellert, he flapped his wings and flew to his shoulder, and carefully combed his messy hair with his mouth.
In fact, when Weiwei took the first blow, she saw the innocent look on her brother's face and understood the truth.
But what if I make a mistake?
Stealing my treasury and exterminating the family...shouldn't this sniffing thing be beaten?
Thinking of this, she taught her brother even more harshly.
Newt and Tina sat nearby and leisurely watched the warm scene of interaction between siblings. They had a great appetite and ate two tuna sandwiches in one go.
If the Dumbledore brothers were to fight, Newt would definitely stand up and break up the fight.
But...
This is the quarrel between the Grindelwald siblings, especially the elder sister showing her heavy (physical) love for her younger brother...
Respect and blessings.
Alas.
In the afternoon, Harry found Newt and planned to borrow the venue with him in the evening to train the students in the dueling hut.
Newt had no reason to refuse. On the contrary, he planned to follow and see how Harry trained his friends.
Weiwei seemed to want to rest, so she did not accept Harry's invitation and went back to the dormitory to catch up on her sleep.
"It can be seen that she has been very tired recently." Hermione said to Harry: "I heard that she seems to be using the time turner to save time. Is this really good?"
"I tried to persuade him, but it was of no use." Harry said helplessly.
Hermione picked up Vivi's notebook, and the "A.E.I.O.U." on the title page attracted her attention.
"What does this mean?" Hermione said, pointing to the five words. The five dots after the words clearly meant that they were abbreviations, not five meaningless vowels.
Harry didn't know what it meant. He had seen these five words in Vivi's notebook, but he had never asked Vivi what they meant.
"I don't know either." He said honestly, "It would be better for you to ask Weiwei yourself and see how she answers."
"Okay." Hermione accepted the notebook, "I will go to the Slytherin common room now and send this notebook back to her."
For the first duel hut event after the winter vacation, Harry decided to invite the outstanding employee he hired, the black witch Farina of Knockturn Alley.
Farina, who was invited by Harry again, had no intention of refusing at all, and simply followed Harry out of Knockturn Alley without even asking Harry to use the Imperius Curse.
In terms of understanding current affairs, it still depends on the dark wizards.
After all, a dark wizard who doesn't understand current affairs can't survive.
During dinner, Draco moved closer to Harry.
"Harry," he said, "Can I join? Your dueling cabin—"
"You want to join in?" Harry forked a piece of German sausage.
"Yes, I also want to join." Draco nodded quickly and said: "It is an honor for me to be mentored by you."
Ron next to him made a suppressed laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Draco asked shyly.
"I laughed at you for being a flatterer, Malfoy." Ron said while dancing on his drumstick.
Unexpectedly, Draco had no intention of refuting this statement.
A flatterer or something...
As long as you can learn magic from the side of the legendary wizard, what if you become a flatterer?
"In principle, I have no objection. Of course, you have to ask for their opinions." Harry said with a smile: "As long as more than half of the people in the duel cabin agree to your joining, then I will also welcome you to join."
After all, Draco is Cassandra's descendant, and he seems to be quite filial... For her sake, Harry is still willing to guide him.
"Okay, since you said that." Ron shrugged: "Then what else can I say? I will reluctantly agree - but if I know that you bully Hermione again, I will definitely do it cruelly. Kick your ass, Malfoy.”
Draco looked disgusted and glanced at Ron.
In order to prevent Hermione from objecting to him joining the dueling hut, Draco decided to swallow the words "defend your little girlfriend".
But he obviously felt unhappy if he didn't vomit, and he felt a little uncomfortable because he couldn't vomit.
In the evening, Harry took them to Newt's tent.
He sat in a chair with Draco beside him.
"Let's start the voting," Harry said to everyone: "If you agree to absorb Draco Malfoy from Naslytherin to join our duel cabin, please raise your hands."
Everyone raised their hands, even Neville did not object to Draco joining the dueling hut.
"In that case, the resolution is officially passed." Harry said, "The main point today is actual combat - I mean, real actual combat. I have hired a dark wizard in Knockturn Alley to conduct actual combat exercises with you. ——But before that, I need you to get familiar with the tricks of dueling... Come on, work in pairs, Draco, you practice with Ron first."
"Okay." Draco's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
The same goes for Ron.
They both looked at each other and hated each other.
"Come on, you two fight first." Harry asked the two of them to come on stage. "The best-of-three-game system is just like the wizard's chess that day. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing the wizard's chess, Draco's face visibly dropped.
He was harmed by the wizard's chess. Not only did he make a sincere confession to Snape, he was even called to his parents.
When it comes to washing the teacher's hair, even the most enlightened parent would probably have to beat their child on the spot.
But what Harry meant was not the Wizarding Chess itself, but the fear that Draco would be dissatisfied.
"Let's win three out of five games, otherwise it will be boring." Ron said eagerly.
Judging from his meaning, it was obvious that defeating Draco just once was not enough.
How do you say that?
If you kill someone, you must kill your heart!
"Well done, Ron!" Seamus said loudly: "You didn't lose our Gryffindor status! Kick Slytherin's ass!"
"I need to remind you that snakes don't have butts, Mr. Finnigan." Gellert reminded him from behind.
Everyone was stunned.
Harry too, he looked at Gellert...
Well, Austrians are also German rounding off.
Germans understand everything about their sense of humor.
Considering it was a duel, Ron didn't use any other lethal curses, just a disarming curse that was shot very quickly.
The two of them stood on the temporary duel stage, ready to start the duel.
Draco did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Ron provocatively, looking mean.
After Cedric announced the start of the game, Ron quickly cast the spell.
"Expelliarmus!"
There was a flash of red light, and Draco's wand whirled into Ron's hand.
He was defeated three times in a row, and they were all knocked out directly by Ron's Expelliarmus.
Draco was a little skeptical about life.
When he walked off the duel stage, his steps were still a little wandering.
"Are you okay?" Neville asked concerned.
Draco murmured: "I hate disarming spells..."
"Hate the Disarming Curse?" Neville asked in confusion: "Why do you hate the Disarming Curse? I think the Disarming Curse is pretty good..."
"Let me tell you - most people who use Expelliarmus all year round have dull eyes, extremely low self-esteem, and their IQs decrease year by year, and finally become complete fools." Draco said angrily: "Using the disarming spell will destroy the body structure and cause various It is an incurable disease. Once a person starts to use the disarming spell, it means that the person's intelligence, conduct and appearance are all inferior, and he can only live in the gutter for the rest of his life."
At the end, he may still feel dissatisfied, so he added: "Wizards who use disarming spells have strong anti-social tendencies, causing damage to public security and stability and endangering the lives of normal wizards!"
Neville opened his mouth. No, that's not the case, right?
Wasn't it just that he had been disarmed several times, so why was he so angry?
Everyone laughed when they heard Draco's words breaking the defense.
They really didn't expect that just a disarming spell would be deconstructed into so much... defense-breaking nonsense.
"I think you need to practice more. If you can't beat it, then join in." Cedric comforted: "The disarming spell is indeed fast and accurate, but your description... is not that good. After all, this is a disarming spell, not that one. Green Spell.”
"Which green curse?" Draco raised his head and said confusedly.
Cedric's face froze.
"Okay, it's not fluorescent flashing anyway." He said, "Get up, we have to continue to watch people practice dueling."
Perhaps Ron was swollen by his three victories with Draco, and he actually found Hermione, intending to find out who was the tougher one in the relationship between the two.
"Expelliarmus!"
Ron quickly dodged to the side and waved his hand to create another shield of armor, trying to block Hermione's next curse.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Seeing Ron's thoughts, Gellert revealed his mask of pain.
"Do you have to use armor to protect yourself? Ah?" Gellert said angrily: "Keep disarming. Attack is the best defense. Are you planning to use armor to protect yourself against all her attacks?" A curse? ”
Ron then hurriedly cast a disarming spell and rolled around to avoid Hermione's spell.
"Where are you aiming again, Mr. Weasley!" Gellert reminded again: "You hit it wrongly! You almost hit Professor Newt who was watching the battle next to you——"
Later, Ron was hit by Hermione's disarming spell.
"Do you think you can fight like this?" Gellert said anxiously, "It's not okay to continue your train of thought like this. Man, a living person is not a training dummy, and I won't give you such reaction time..."
Dude?
Harry looked at Gellert strangely, then at Ron.
This Gellert is also getting better and can actually become brothers with Ron.
Forget it, buddies will be buddies.
If someone else had said this, Ron might have refuted it - but it was Assistant Professor Gale who said it, and Ron humbly accepted Professor Gale's opinion.
He was carried by Gellert and sent to the side for special training.
Harry didn't care about that, he released Falina.
"Farina?!"
The moment they saw the Black Witch, Newt and Tina stood up together.
"Do you know each other?" Harry asked curiously.
"Of course I know you." Newt pointed his wand at Farina and introduced to Harry: "This is the dark witch Farina, who is always ranked in the top five most wanted Aurors. I really didn't expect that she would be captured by you. Caught..."
Then he realized that Farina was captured here by Harry.
He put down his wand and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"I have doubts about the level of British Aurors, Professor Scamander." Harry shook his head and said, "Farena lives in Knockturn Alley. Doesn't the Ministry of Magic search carefully every time it conducts an investigation? ?”
"Hey hey - hey!"
Falina laughed wildly. She raised her head and said, "Guess what? Mr. Potter? Ever since the fall of the mysterious man and the liquidation of all Death Eaters, Aurors will never be overturned again." The Lane is carefully searched, which is why it is a gathering place for dark wizards - because it is a lawless place."
"No wonder." Harry nodded and said. It seems that since Voldemort died, the Ministry of Magic has also begun to restrict the power of Aurors.
How to evaluate...
Harry felt he couldn't comment.
"Come on, stop talking." Harry said to them: "Who is willing to be the first to challenge our assistant?"
"Assistant coach?" Farina heard the term and grinned: "I like this title. Oh my God, who wants to be the first to be dealt with by me? Ah... the handsome guy over there, come on."< br>
She meant Cedric.
"Hufflepuff boy, I'm talking about you." Farina smiled strangely.
Cedric stepped forward with some indifference. It wasn't that he was afraid of Farina, but he just felt that the other party's laughter and eyes made him a little uncomfortable.
No, it’s not just uncomfortable, especially that look in my eyes...
"Come on, if I say start, you start." Harry said to Farina again: "Remember our agreement——"
"Understood, Mr. Potter." Falina put away her crazy look and bowed to Harry.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Expelliarmus!"
"Crucio!"
Two scarlet rays of light flew out, and Falina nimbly dodged Cedric's disarming spell, but Cedric didn't have such good practical skills. He was hit on the spot by the Crucifixion and fell to the ground with a plop. On the ground, several carp clearly made some jerking movements.
Newt drew his wand again, this time in sync with Tina.
"Professor Scamander." Harry quickly stopped them: "Don't worry, this is the agreement between me and her——"
Yes, the agreed part is that apart from Avada Kedavra, any remaining magic can be used, as long as it doesn't kill anyone.
In fact, even if it is a death curse, Harry can use the Transformation Curse to stop it in time - even if he doesn't react in time, Fiona is always by his side.
As for Phoenix, it is common practice to swallow two life-killing spells to aid digestion and promote gastrointestinal motility.
Newt then hesitantly put down his wand and looked at Harry suspiciously.
That clearly means that your duel cabin is so wild? It’s enough to recruit a dark witch to serve as a teaching assistant, but you’re not even banning the opponent from using the Unforgivable Curse?
Are you really treating practice as actual combat?
"I don't think this is a good way to train, Mr. Potter," Newt said.
"I think so too, Mr. Scamander." Harry said helplessly: "But they will also face these dark witches in the future. I can't say to them, 'Hey, don't worry. When you meet them in the future, The dark wizards here are all magicians who throw out yellow rubber ducks with their wands, right?”
Tina accepted Harry's point of view. After all, she was an Auror - but in fact, Newt knew as much as Aurors. After all, he had personally captured Grindelwald, the most powerful dark wizard at the time.
Yes, that's the sniffing prisoner.
"Let Cedric go to the side to reflect and reflect. You guys carry him." Harry said to Seamus and Neville: "You guys go up next... Who is that, Megan, you fight Farina."< br>
"Ah? Shall I fight Farina?" Megan said with some uncertainty: "Really or not, let me fight..."
Even so, she still stood in front of Falina.
Even though she had a premonition of the Cruciatus curse, she still did not dodge, and was knocked down to the ground by Falina.
"And you, Hermione." Harry began to name names.
As expected, Hermione also twitched and was put down to the ground.
Next it was Neville's turn - Harry had thoughtfully reminded Farina not to use Cruciatus on Neville, so Farina used the Imperius Curse to control Neville and perform a standard tap dance.
However, what she didn't expect was that Neville quickly broke free from the control of the Imperius Curse, and his backhand was an Expelliarmus.
However, it was of no use, and Neville was knocked unconscious by a blow.
"It's your turn, Seamus," Harry said again.
On the count of one, Seamus cast the most powerful explosive spell he had ever learned without thinking.
"BombardaMaxima!"
Falina originally wanted to use the Cruciatus Curse to end the battle, but an ominous premonition suddenly appeared, and she quickly stepped aside with her blessed heart.
There was a rumble, and then the ground shook violently. Falina looked at the place and saw that a medium-sized pit had appeared.
Are all little wizards today such monsters?
Falina was a little doubtful about life. The second-year students were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. One could resist the Imperius Curse and relied purely on will; the other could use explosive spells with exaggerated power that was indescribable. It seemed that he was very skilled...
But what she didn't know was that Seamus' explosion spell was now just a scary sound and light pollution special effect, and its actual power was the same as the magic spell used by his fourth- and fifth-grade classmates.
But this is enough. When a second-grade student casts a certain spell, his intensity is as strong as that of a fourth- or fifth-grade student. This is already considered a monster in some respects.
Seamus didn't stop at all, waving his wand and began to force Falina to move.
It's just that he was still unfamiliar after all, so Farina quickly caught the flaw and sent him lying aside with a heart-breaking blast.
"It seems that your duel cabin has been completely cleaned up by me, Mr. Potter."
Falina put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.
"There's me too!"
Ron came back at some point, and Gellert behind him winked meaningfully at Harry.
"Really?" Farina drew out her wand again and pointed at Ron.
"Come on!" Ron said confidently.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
As the signal to start the duel fell, Ron swung his wand and cast a disarming spell. Then he quickly rolled away from the spot and took the time to cast another disarming spell with his wand.
Falina was forced by Ron's disarming spell and dodged to the side.
Ron took advantage of Farina's move to the side and used the transformation spell to conjure two ropes, trying to wrap Farina's legs.
Seeing the two ropes, Falina looked interested.
This was the first time she had seen the application of the transformation spell in a duel tonight. She easily resolved the ropes, only to find that the two ropes had turned into venomous snakes and were biting at her quickly.
"Well done! Ron!" Hermione weakly cheered Ron on from behind: "Come on!"
Farina waved her magic wand, turning the two snakes into fly ash, and then she struck out a heart-breaking bone again.
This time, Ron still chose to dodge by rolling around.
How do you say that?
Escape is shameful, but useful.
Ron is in such a mental state now. There is no need to fight against Falina. Besides... I am a second-year wizard, so what if my dodge movements are unsightly?
He swung two Expelliarmus to the left and right, waved his wand again, and turned the stool beside him into a dog.
The dog was knocked away by Farina's spell, and the two spells were dodged. Just when Ron finished dodging and wanted to take the next step, Farina suddenly appeared behind him.
"Crucio!"
Ron couldn't dodge and fell to the ground convulsively.
"I should admit that you are the little wizard who surprised me the most tonight, Mr. Weasley." Falina said with a smile: "You are the first little wizard who allows me to use Apparition—— Okay, I think that’s the end of today’s lesson, Mr. Potter should let me go back.”
She was right, Harry had indeed allowed her to return to the pocket and keep Alfonso company.
"The one who surprised me the most was indeed Ron." Harry said with a smile: "I thought Cedric would be the one who lasted the longest."
"I'd rather be Weasley than Diggory the Butterboy," Draco muttered.
"I'm sorry, Harry." Cedric also calmed down, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"It doesn't matter whether I'm disappointed or not, Cedric." Harry said seriously: "You are not learning dueling for me, but for you when you face the dark wizard in the future - believe me, you will be able to do it by then. Thank you for your efforts today.”
"Okay, let's start with the summary - in short, your performance today is terrible, only Ron, Seamus and Neville are decent."
Harry said this and smiled encouragingly at Neville: "Being able to successfully resist the Imperius Curse is something that ordinary wizards cannot do, Neville."
"Really?" Neville asked hopefully.
"Of course it's true." Harry said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, ask everyone who among you has practiced resisting the Imperius Curse."
At this point, Hermione slapped her thigh and said, "Yeah, why didn't I use the Imperius Curse on her just now? Oh my God... It seems that I'm not very skilled in the application of spells. I think I should continue to practice. …”
Newt slowly turned his gaze to Harry.
The meaning is clear.
No, buddy?
Do you still teach the Imperius Curse here?
"Don't tell me you haven't used it, Professor Scamander." Harry looked at Newt speechlessly.
Yes, I admit that you are a Hufflepuff, but if you can fight against the strongest dark wizard in the first half of this century, don't tell me that you haven't used the Unforgivable Curse.
Hearing Harry's words, Newt turned his head guiltily.
Of course he used it...
Even more than once.
Cedric also snuck up next to Ron.
"Ron." He asked gently: "How did you make such rapid progress in such a short period of time? Oh my God, you were able to sustain it for so long under the hands of that black witch..."
"Assistant Teacher Gale just taught me some little knowledge about dueling, that's why I have made such obvious progress." Ron said matter-of-factly.
Yes, I taught him some silky little combos that Harry was not very good at, which were more suitable for Ron's physique.
For example, a lazy donkey rolls around.
"I think I should ask him for advice, too," Cedric said.
In the Magical Creatures class the next day, Cedric really got close to Assistant Teacher Gale.
Gellert knew this big Hufflepuff boy. When he heard that a Hufflepuff was looking for him, Gellert almost vomited.
But considering that the other party was a member of the Duel Lodge, Gellert still felt that he should meet him to see what was going on with him.
Cedric explained his purpose, and Gellert did not refuse. Based on the principle of getting rid of one egg and getting rid of two eggs, he decided to teach this Hufflepuff boy a lesson.
Not for Harry, of course, but for Newt.
If he didn't train a Hufflepuff, Gellert would feel sorry for Newt for stealing his blood pact.
In the past half week, Cedric has been asking Gellert for advice on dueling.
It should be said that Gellert and Harry have two completely different styles. By learning from each other's strengths, Cedric's dueling level has also improved a lot.
Of course, he actually had no problem with his own strength, but he was so unlucky when he faced Falina just now.
He didn't expect Farina to use the Cruciatus Curse at all. It was so unruly.
If he just used ordinary white magic spells, although Cedric couldn't deal with her, he wouldn't be defeated so easily.
"You mean, what Weiwei said means Aquia Electa Iovis Omnia Vincit (God's chosen eagle conquers everything)?"
In the auditorium, Harry asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, Sister Vivi also said that she met Otto a few days ago." Hermione also said with a strange look: "Just...Otto von Habsburg..."
"Otto." Harry nodded clearly, "I don't know."
"He is the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the head of the Habsburg family." Hermione told Harry.
With that said, Harry understood.
It seems that he should be a descendant of Aunt Weiwei?
"That Otto," Harry thought for a moment and asked, "What is his relationship with Joseph Franz?"
"It should be..." Hermione did some math in her head: "Let me do the math...Joseph's nephew is Archduke Ferdinand, and Archduke Ferdinand's nephew is Otto's father, Karl..."
< br>
"Oh, Carl." Harry remembered, saying that he didn't know about other people, but Carl knew it all too well.
No wonder Weiwei went to see Otto, it turned out that there was still such a kinship relationship.
I remember that Vivi hugged Carl when he was little, and Carl even wanted to call Vivi his aunt.
Harry felt a bit horrified when he thought about it. Otto, who was already so old, still called a seventeen-year-old girl his aunt...
Looks like there's someone worse off than Lucius, Harry thought.
But...why did Weiwei see that old grandnephew?
Harry felt a little confused, but his advantage was that he never thought about things he couldn't figure out.
It can’t be recovery...
Time passed like this day by day, and soon it was Saturday again.
This Saturday is the day when students from Hogwarts go to Hogsmeade.
Hogsmeade is the only village in Britain that is full of wizards and no Muggles. It is a very unique and beautiful small village full of cottages and shops with thatched roofs.
During the holidays, the trees in the village are hung with enchanted candles.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located next to the large lake that originates from the village. The terminus of the Hogwarts Express train is also located in the village, and the students' new school year starts there.
There is a path along the lakeshore that leads directly from the station to Hogwarts Castle.
However, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stipulates that only students in third grade and above can go there on specific Saturdays, and they must have a signed permission from their guardian.
"I also want to go to Hogsmeade." Hermione said while holding the window open.
"But we'll have to wait a year before we can go, you know," Ron said with a sigh.
"Don't worry, Hermione." Cedric said to Hermione when he passed by: "What do you want, I can bring it to you to try - such as Honeydukes candy?"
"Okay, thank you, Cedric." Ron said quickly, "I want blackcurrant-flavored candies, please bring some for me."
Cedric made an OK gesture, turned and left the castle.
He, Megan, and several classmates walked along the path to Hogsmeade.
"Let's eat something first," Meghan said. "I miss the Pig's Head Bar a little bit. The food cooked by Mr. Dumbledore - ah, although it looks hard to swallow, it tastes really good."
The Hog's Head Pub is a pub run by Dumbledore's brother Aberforth Dumbledore. The first floor is a bar and the second floor is an inn, just like the Leaky Cauldron.
There was only a small, dark, and very dirty room in the bar, which exuded a strong smell of mutton.
Thick dirt accumulated on the bay windows, barely letting in the light from the outside, and some candle stubs were lit on the rough wooden tables.
As soon as Megan entered the bar, she rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I always can't stand the smell of mutton, but I prefer the boss's cooking." Meghan complained, covering her nose.
"You'll be fine once you get used to it..." Cedric rubbed his chest. In fact, he wasn't quite used to it either.
It was precisely for this reason that several other Hufflepuff students did not come with them, but chose to go to the Three Broomsticks to drink some butterbeer and sparkling water.
They sat at the bar, and Cedric said to Aberforth, who was wiping the wine glass: "It's still the same, Mr. Dumbledore, two meals..."
"It's you, Mr. Diggory, and Miss Jones." Aberforth smiled and nodded at the two of them, turned and walked into the kitchen.
After a while, he came out with two plates.
Inside the plate were two unidentified objects that were green, purple, and black.
"Try it," he said with a smile.
The two seemed to have been greedy for a long time. They couldn't wait to pick up the spoons, put them in their mouths, and then looked satisfied.
"That's what it smells like," he said.
Aberforth continued to wipe the cups and placed the wiped cups one by one in the cabinet beside him.
"Actually, I think Assistant Coach Gale is quite good." Cedric said, "Would you like to ask him about dueling techniques with me?"
"Remember to call me when you go to find him next time." Megan said, "But I think it's better that we buy him some gifts. We can't let him teach us in vain - tell us what we should buy. ?”
"I don't know either." Cedric took a big spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How about buying a parrot, just like Hermione's cockatoo. I think Assistant Gale likes it very much." Megan said with a smile: "Maybe it's because Assistant Gale thinks that parrot looks like him. Similar? ”
Upon hearing this, the cup in Aberforth's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
