"What, Potter, you can't even handle a mere Granger? It seems that the aura of the savior is not that easy to use."
Malfoy obviously would not miss such an opportunity, and immediately made a malicious taunt.
Harry retorted without any sign of weakness: "Hermione is our classmate and friend. She has the right to make choices according to her own will. This is different from the two stupid servants around you."
I have to say that these words instantly stabbed the poor self-esteem of Crabbe and Goyle.
After all, what hurts a person's heart the most is never a rumor, but the cruel truth.
The two of them glared at Harry for an instant. If this was not a wizard duel, they would have rushed forward and started shaking their fists.
Don't think that wizards are all waving wands. Even when they are killing people, they will maintain an elegant manner, raise their wands and shout "Avada bites the big melon", and then shoot out a green light symbolizing death.
In fact, the fighting methods of many wizards are very barbaric, bloody and cruel.
Especially those who are good at transformation magic will often transform themselves into the forms of various beasts, and then rush up to bite the opponent until they are bloody and bloody. Fighting with fists is commonplace.
Seeing the menacing appearance of the tall Crabbe and Goyle, Ron obviously felt a little guilty and immediately asked: "Hey! Today is a wizard duel, right?"
"That's right! What, are you scared? Weasley." Malfoy asked with a sneer.
"No, of course not. What I mean is, since it's a duel between wizards, take care of the two mad dogs around you and don't let them tarnish the sacred rules."
As the saying goes, if you lose someone, you don’t lose the formation.
Although Ron was scared to death, he had no intention of backing down verbally. Instead, he first accused the other party of being unruly.
"Both of you, be honest with me. Don't embarrass Slytherin House!"
Malfoy turned around and glared at the two followers fiercely.
Crabbe and Goyle, who looked fierce one second, were completely wilted the next second, and stood aside with their wands drawn out.
Upon seeing this, Ron also pulled out his wand, slowly backed away and gave way to a distance of about seven or eight meters.
At this moment, only Harry and Malfoy were left in the open space in the middle of the trophy display room.
Since it was their first time to engage in a wizard duel, it could be seen that they were all very nervous, and the hands holding their wands were sweating.
After looking at each other for about ten seconds, Malfoy was the first to speak: "Now, let us bow to each other according to tradition, Potter. Then we will count to three, and the duel will officially begin. I can't wait to see you kneeling.
He was begging for mercy on the ground."
"This is what I want to say too."
Harry slowly raised his wand and made a standard action before the start of a duel according to the records in the book.
After Malfoy also made this move, both parties bowed in unison, and then began to count down together.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Everything is petrified!"
"Armor for protection!"
After the countdown ended, the two released the spells they had prepared almost immediately.
It's just that Malfoy's petrification spell was learned at home. Although it is not very powerful, it is obviously enough to deal with first-year students.
But unfortunately, this time he met the cheating savior.
Without even thinking about it, Harry used his wand to activate the Iron Armor Curse Scroll hidden in his sleeve.
In the blink of an eye, an invisible magic shield enveloped him and successfully deflected the petrification spell shot from the opponent's wand.
"This...how is this possible!"
Malfoy's eyes widened in shock.
You must know that even he cannot cast a complete Iron Armor Curse at his current age, let alone Harry Potter who has been living in a Muggle family
However, Harry obviously did not intend to explain. He immediately activated the disarming spell scroll with very obscure movements, then suddenly raised his wand and pointed forward: "Expelliarmus!"
Instantly!
A dazzling red light shot out from the front end of the wand and hit Malfoy with a bang. Not only did he drop the wand in his hand, but his whole body felt like he had been hit hard by a car, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably for several seconds.
meters away, and even knocked down several display cabinets before reluctantly stopping.
Without a doubt!
According to the rules of wizard duels, Harry can now declare that he has won.
But Hermione, who is smart and observant, obviously noticed that the savior would touch the scroll hidden in his sleeve with his wand before casting a spell.
Combined with Zuo Si's recent research, he immediately understood what was going on. His eyes became extremely strange, but in the end he did not choose to expose it.
With the clumsy help of Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy quickly got up from the ground, with a look of astonishment on his face. It seemed that he still couldn't accept that Harry, who grew up in a Muggle family, could actually do it twice in a row.
He successfully cast the spell and defeated himself undisputedly in a one-on-one wizard duel.
Does the savior really have some unknown power, so he defeated the mysterious man that year?
For a moment, Master Malfoy was seriously shaken in his heart, and his self-confidence was also hit. He didn't even bother to sarcastically say as usual, but turned around and rushed out of the trophy display room without saying a word, heading towards Slytherin.
ran to the common room.
Crabbe and Goyle followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared into the darkness.
"Well done! I bet Malfoy was scared this time."
Ron was the first to break the silence, stepped forward and patted his friend's shoulder hard to express his inner excitement.
"Hehe! Thanks to these scrolls. Soss didn't lie to us. This thing really only needs to be lightly activated with a magic wand, and it can immediately turn into a spell to attack the enemy."
Harry hurriedly took out the remaining three cards from his sleeves, grinning like a fool.
Because this was the first time he fought with his peers, and it was also the first time he felt the amazing power of magic. His brain secreted dopamine crazily, bringing about the emotion called happiness.
Ron said in a rather envious tone: "It is indeed a good thing. If instead of two gold galleons each, there are two silver Sickles, I will also consider buying a few as spares."
"Stop dreaming! Do you know what materials were used as raw materials for copying and sealing those scrolls in Soth? It's the blood of the fire dragon! The price of a small bottle of this thing is even more expensive than many high-end potions." Hermione.
He interrupted angrily.
"Blood of fire dragon?!!"
Ron's mouth suddenly grew big enough to fit a fist.
"Is it expensive?" Harry asked in an uncertain tone.
The former immediately nodded vigorously: "Of course! A small bottle of fire dragon's blood can even be sold for hundreds of gold galleons. Because these blood must be taken from living dragons, the risk is very high, and only the most daring wizards can
Just tried this job."
"That's it! Then it seems that the price Soth sold us is not expensive, it's just that the production cost is relatively high." Harry said thoughtfully.
However, he obviously didn't know that the magic ink made by Zuo Si actually contained a few drops of fire dragon's blood in a large bottle to enhance the magic power.
The rest are some relatively cheap blood of other magical animals, or the powder of ground gemstones and some magic plants.
Seeing that the two silly boys had not realized the seriousness of the problem, Hermione finally couldn't help but hold her forehead and asked: "Have you understood the situation?
If Soth's research is successful, the scroll will soon become popular in the wizarding world.
By then, with the financial resources of Malfoy and the family behind him, he can easily buy dozens or even hundreds of them.
By that time, he will not only know that you cheated today, but he will also use the same method to retaliate."
"Oh - damn!"
The poor Ron seemed to have seen that he would be beaten to death by Malfoy with money.
Just when Harry was about to say something, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the corridor, followed closely by the voice of Filch, the castle administrator.
"Who? Who's in there?"
"No! Run!"
Without any time to think about it, Hermione immediately took out her wand and cast the Disillusionment Charm on the three of them, then turned around and rushed out of the trophy display room, starting to run around in a panic.
However, they apparently forgot that the Disillusionment Curse is only a simple visual invisibility and cannot block the sound of footsteps when running.
