John slowed down after running to the first floor of the castle.
He took out a bottle of antidote that he got from Madam Pomfrey and drank it in one sip, directly filling up the magic power in the second magic pool.
Then, an excited smile broke out on his face.
The effect of the Upside Down Curse was beyond his imagination.
Although its control effect is not strong, it consumes very little magic power, is silent and invisible when used, and does not even require chanting, and is released very quickly.
Such a curse was simply born for sneak attacks.
Even a top player like Snape could be hit by a mistake, which is enough to show how powerful he is.
John has decided to use it as his fourth core spell.
In addition to this, today he also collected money from both ends, directly getting 20 galleons from Draco and Snape, six bottles of potions and double his hourly wage, which greatly increased his small treasury.
John felt that he could start trying to prepare for the potion refining tomorrow.
Delightful!
But what magic potion will I make then?
Thinking about this problem, John skillfully shuttled through the magic staircase, and in a short time he entered the prize display room on the fourth floor.
This was the place he and Draco had agreed upon, and it was also the venue for the duel.
To be honest, John didn't think Draco picked the place very well.
Because the space here is not big.
Being in such a place, Harry could be close to Draco in a few steps.
And with Harry's melee ability, the fight would probably be over with just one punch.
There are also many crystal glass cabinets here, which display various trophies, shields, medals and statues.
If they accidentally knocked something over and broke it during the duel, then Professor McGonagall in a rage would probably dig up the ground and dig them out.
By that time, everyone will be finished together.
John was observing the environment in the prize display room when he saw Draco sneaking in from the door.
Seeing John, he was obviously startled, but he quickly reacted:
"So you've already arrived!"
John glanced behind him and said:
"Why are you alone? Where are Goyle and Crabbe?"
Draco fell silent.
He really wanted to say directly that it was because those two guys were too stupid and he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to do night tours well, so he didn't bring them out.
But after hesitating for a moment, Draco decided to save some face for his little brother.
"They... they're hungry."
Draco said weakly.
Upon hearing this, John nodded directly.
He would definitely not believe this kind of rubbish excuse if it were applied to other people, but it would be different if the targets were Goyle and Crabbe.
These two guys are real losers!
Every time I start eating, I feel like I've been reincarnated as a starving ghost, and I won't stop until I've fucked myself hard.
So it really makes sense that they get diseases like gastroenteritis from overeating.
Thinking like this, John suddenly felt hungry.
Ignoring Draco, he took out a small piece of cut rock cake from his arms and put it in his mouth.
After no one spoke to him, Draco became more and more uneasy.
It didn't take long before he whispered in the direction of the door:
"Shafiq, do you think Pote and the others won't come? Shouldn't they directly report us for our night tour?"
"I think you can rest assured about this."
John said while sipping the rock cake, "After all, there are probably not many people as despicable, shameless and stupid as you in the entire Hogwarts, and Harry and the others should not be the same."
"you--"
Draco was so angry that he almost yelled.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he remembered John's words, "I come from the quagmire," and suppressed the rest of his words.
He really didn't dare to provoke John now. After all, it had not been more than three days since John last 'beat' him.
At this moment, three more sneaky figures slipped into the prize display room.
Draco's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming from the opposite side.
Although he didn't dare to provoke John, he still had the courage to provoke Harry, and he was very bold.
"Breaking!"
Draco said excitedly, "You are late! Weasley, is your family so poor that you can't even afford an alarm clock?"
"You fart!" Ron said angrily, "It's not even time yet, you guys are obviously here early!"
Draco was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He just subconsciously found an excuse to stir up trouble and really didn't pay attention to the time.
But that's okay.
Draco continued:
"It's not important. The key is, didn't we agree that each of us would bring only one assistant? Why do you have three of you now? Ah, so this is how you Gryffindors do it! Don't talk about martial ethics, three against two!
Brave lion, ha, how ridiculous!”
Draco's words completely angered Harry and Ron.
Harry clenched his fists and said angrily:
"Hermione is not my assistant. She came with us on her own. This has nothing to do with us!"
Draco completely ignored Harry's explanation and laughed and said:
"Hermione? Oh, you mean Miss Rabbit, right? You actually found a girl? You're laughing so hard..."
Before Draco could finish speaking, Hermione took two steps forward and gritted her teeth:
"No! Call me! Miss Rabbit!"
As she spoke, her eyes glowed green in the darkness, and her thick and unkempt brown hair showed signs of exploding due to excessive anger.
To be honest, this image in the middle of the night is quite scary.
Draco was frightened and hid behind John.
It was then that the three Harrys finally noticed that the person standing beside Draco was not Goyle or Crabbe, but John.
"John? Why are you here?"
Harry and Ron said to each other, "Yes, shouldn't you be with us?"
John helplessly spread his hands and said:
"I can't help it, Harry, I can't help it. I will be Draco's assistant tonight."
As soon as this was said, both Harry and Ron fell silent.
They also wanted to persuade John not to help Draco, but they didn't know for what reason.
After all, John is also a Slytherin.
It was only natural that he helped Draco, who was in the same school.
At the same time, Draco finally realized that he now had someone to support him.
He laughed and walked out from behind John, raised his head and said proudly:
"Pote, Shafiq and I join forces and we will kill you all! It's not too late for you to kneel down and surrender now!"
"Stop dreaming! Let me see the real chapter!"
Harry said angrily.
"Alas! It seems that you gave up this great opportunity. What a pity."
Draco shook his head and took out the wand with a proud look on his face, "Then, let me end your humble life!"
