The White Lord of Hogwarts
Chapter 18 Do You Think My Curse Is Faster Or Your Broom (2 in 1)
Chapter 18 Do you think my spell is faster or your broom (two in one)
"I announce that get out of class is over!" After the bell rang, Mrs. Hooch let out a sigh of relief: it was finally over.She had never had such an exhausting class.
"Just leave the broom where it is." After leaving such a sentence, she hurriedly disbanded the team and left the flying class venue.
The students gathered in twos and threes and walked towards the castle.
"That guy Longbottom is really an embarrassment to the pure-blood family." Malfoy complained loudly to Neville: "I've never seen a pure-blood wizard who is less useful than him."
"Maybe he should find a mirror." Ron blew his nose hard after hearing Malfoy's words.
At this moment, Malfoy suddenly took two steps forward and picked up a shiny object from the lawn.
"Look! Which idiot's remembrance ball is it?" He looked around, his eyes flicking around the faces of one Gryffindor wizard after another, and finally said "not sure" like a multiple-choice question Said, "I guess it's that Longbottom's."
His two little followers, Crabbe and Goyle, laughed, and a girl named Pansy Parkinson next to her said in a strange way: "How can you be sure that it is Neville Longbottom's memory ball?" ? There are so many idiots here, don't get confused."
"Stupid people are common, but there are not many people who are stupid like that." Malfoy took the memory ball in his hand and threw it casually.
The faces of all the Gryffindor students who heard their conversation darkened.
"Bring it here, Malfoy." Harry couldn't stand it anymore, he took two steps forward, walked up to Malfoy, and stretched out his hand to him.Everyone stopped and watched the confrontation between the two.
"Why don't you just drop this thing somewhere for that Longbottom to pick up? Potter, what do you think of stuffing it in an owl shed?" He backed away to an unoccupied broom. On the side, ride up.
"Bring it here!" Harry also picked up a broom subconsciously. It seemed that the two of them were going to compete with each other with their flying skills.
At the moment when the two were about to take off, a voice came——
"Malfoy, do you think your broom is faster, or my spell?" Love took out his wand, pointed at Malfoy and said, "You can take a gamble, but I don't guarantee that I can catch it." You who fell from the sky after being petrified."
Love's threat is simple but effective: If you dare to fly, I will shoot you down.
Although the moving target was difficult to hit, Malfoy didn't dare to gamble.
Malfoy immediately put on a stinky face.
"Are you trying to stand up for Longbottom? Very well, Moen, you—"
"Yes, I'm going to stand up for him, aren't you convinced?" Love's words were quite straightforward, even if he directly asked Malfoy if he was convinced, if he was soft and obediently handed over Neville's crystal ball, the matter would be over up.If he is not convinced, Love will probably convince others with virtue.
He is quite tired of this kind of behavior of taking people's things and hiding them somewhere.
Facing Love's blunt answer, Malfoy didn't dare to argue. He knew Love's combat effectiveness. It's really not good for the fierce man who beat the seniors in the academy to the ground on the train on the first day of school. There should be a head-on confrontation with him.
"Take it." He threw the memory ball over, but it was caught by Harry beside Love.
Seeing this, Malfoy didn't bother to continue pestering, and turned his head and left.
On the way back, Pansy Parkinson was indignant: "That fellow Love is simply crazy! He actually wants to knock you down from the sky with a binding spell. This kind of person is a violent man. He should be punished on the day of sorting." Send it directly to Azkaban..."
She seems to have completely forgotten how this conflict broke out.From her point of view, it was just a little joke on her side, but that Moen turned out to be so up-to-date.
"It's okay, naturally there is a way to deal with him." Malfoy's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he had already found a way to deal with Love.
Although he can't fight head-on, he can rely on external forces. This is the strategy his father taught him.
At dinner time, when Love was debating whether to try a steak and kidney pie, Malfoy sneaked up in front of him with his two little followers.
"Love Moen, do you dare to settle the grievances of the flying class with me in the way of a wizard?"
Love:? ? ?
Is it over?
"Is it interesting for you to be so entangled?" He shook his head, in his eyes, Malfoy was far less important than the pie in front of him.
Steak and kidney pie is a kind of pie filled with sautéed kidneys and wine-boiled onions. It is a traditional British delicacy.Love was a little uncertain about whether to eat it, because the kidneys that were not handled properly were very fishy.
"Are you scared?" Malfoy continued provocatively.
"Is this pie really delicious?" He ignored Malfoy, but asked Hermione beside him about the taste of the pie.Hermione also knew that Love was deliberately drying Malfoy, so she smiled and told him that the pie tasted pretty good.
After getting a positive answer, he finally made up his mind to take a bite. After eating it, Love found that the taste of the pie was not as bad as he thought.
Malfoy, who was ignored, stood by, his pale face turned blue with anger, and Crabbe and Goyle also had gloomy faces, pinching their fingers together for a while.
Malfoy was in a dilemma right now, being ignored was the worst kind of situation, he could feel the students around him looking at him, wondering why a Slytherin would appear at the Gryffindor table.Fortunately, after Love finished handling the pie, he finally started talking to him, otherwise Malfoy really didn't know how to end it.
"Can you be more mature, I really don't want to play house with children." Love's first words almost made Malfoy faint.
"Tell me, what is the method of the wizard in your mouth? A duel?"
"Yes." Malfoy gritted his teeth and said, "At midnight, how about it? We'll meet you in the prize showroom, where the doors are never locked, only wands are used, no close contact is allowed."
When he heard "no contact", Love almost laughed out loud: Is it because he is afraid that the spell will not work well, so he directly changed to melee combat?
When hearing the midnight duel, Hermione raised her head suddenly. She was very worried that Love would take over the duel with a hot head, which would definitely violate the school rules!
Fortunately, Love doesn't eat this set at all.
"It doesn't have to be midnight, I have time now, just find an empty classroom."
Malfoy: ...
How can I report to Filch that the duel is not fixed at midnight?This is not allowed!
"I..." Just as he was about to refuse, Love spoke again.
"I don't have much time, I allow the three of you to fight together, unlimited duels." Love glanced at Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle behind him, and after assessing the combat effectiveness of the three, he felt that they could all fight together. hit three.
Malfoy was taken aback immediately.
At the beginning, he planned to never confront Love head-on, because he didn't even know any serious offensive magic.But when Love said he could hit three with one, Malfoy's heart was shaken.
According to his vision, he could swarm up with Crabbe and Goyle and beat the old master to death.No matter how fast Love's full-body binding spell was, it would only have time to knock down one of them, leaving the rest to Fist.
After thinking this through, Malfoy asked decisively, "Which classroom are you dueling in?"
About 10 minutes later, in an abandoned classroom on the second floor of the castle, Malfoy was lying on the cold floor, unable to even move his little finger.At this time, he felt extremely regretful in his heart. He didn't understand why he had to temporarily change his plan, and he really had a duel with Love.
The onlookers, Ron, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't expect this duel to be a crushing situation.
Love's method is very simple. He quickly used the body-binding spell to knock down Goyle, and then dealt with Crabbe when he retreated to distance himself. When only Malfoy was left on the field, the problem became much simpler. .
"My God, this is so cool!" On the way back to the waiting room, Ron kept replaying Love's actions during the duel.The more he recalled, the more he felt that Love was incomparably crisp, without delay, and had the demeanor of a dueling master.
"The trick is to be firm. Malfoy thought beautifully. He wanted one of Crabbe or Goyle to act as a meat shield, but he didn't consider the idea of his followers at all-they didn't want to be human shields. This makes They hesitated, slowed down, and naturally failed."
Love analyzed the psychology of Malfoy's side, which is why he thought it was possible to fight three with one.
"Is it really good to keep them there?" Although the other party was an enemy, Hermione would still worry about them, fearing that they would encounter some danger and be unable to escape after being locked up all over their bodies.
"Let them have a longer memory!" Love spread his hands together: "This time the lesson is deep enough, so they won't come to trouble me again."
Seems to make sense?Hermione hesitated a little.
……
The wood in the fireplace crackled pleasantly in the flames, and several young wizards gathered at a table by the fire, with a lot of homework spread out on the table.
"Yesterday's Potions class wasn't too difficult." Ron inserted the quill into the inkpot and stretched his waist: "Although Snape's big bat is still flying around and affecting our performance, we can see It was all worth it when Malfoy sneeze and knocked over Snape's face behind the cauldron."
In yesterday's Potions class, Malfoy's condition was not very good, he seemed to have caught a cold for unknown reasons.He kept sniffling throughout the class, and even sneezed while making the potion, knocking the whole pot on the floor.
When Malfoy knocked over the potion, Snape's face was ugly and frightening. It took him a long time to recall the friendship between him and Lucius Malfoy before he successfully suppressed the anger in his heart and put Germany Clean up the mess Laco made.When asking Pansy to take Draco to the infirmary, he didn't forget to tell Malfoy to remember to cure the damn cold as well.
After Malfoy made such a move, the atmosphere in the Potions classroom changed subtly. The Gryffindor students were desperately suppressing their inner happiness, keeping them tightly locked in their hearts, not a single bit of it. revealed.
"So why didn't he go to Madam Pomfrey immediately after he caught a cold? She only needs 5 minutes to cure the cold?" Hermione said in bewilderment, and at the same time drove Luo away calmly. Eun quietly reached out to her History of Magic paper's hand.
"Who knows, it might be due to pride." Love glanced at his empty parchment, then turned to Hermione and said, "Hermione, can you let me see your thesis on the history of magic? I want to refer to it." one time."
"Okay." Hermione pulled out the foot-long treatise on the history of magic from her pile of parchment, and handed it to Love: "By the way, help me see if I made any mistakes."
Ron who was just evicted: ? !
Treat them differently, right? !He said that he wanted to use it as a "reference"!What is the difference between reference and copy?
To Ron's question, Love's answer was: You borrow it to see it is called "copying", and the paper I borrowed from Hermione is "reference". This is the difference-the subject of the sentence is different.
Today he wanted to go to the library, but was blocked by Harry while waiting for Hermione to come down from the girls' dormitory in the common room.Harry hoped to study with Love for a while, and he wanted to ask some questions.
Asking for this word immediately aroused Love's interest. He smelled the smell of being a domineering student, so he agreed to Harry and decided to study with him by the fire for a day.Now that there is Harry, it is only normal for Ron to join in.
"You seem to have said before that there was a Gringotts break-in on your birthday?"
During the learning process, Love will also chat with each other, and in the process, he will get a little information by the way.
"Yes, Hagrid took me to Gringotts to get some money, and..." Harry looked around and lowered his voice: "He also took out a small package from Gringotts for Dumbledore. It is suspected that the small package was targeted by the intruder."
"Oh?" Love raised his eyebrows.
The corridors that are forbidden to enter, the three-headed dog guarding the trapdoor, and the package extracted from Gringotts, the fragments of several clues are gradually pieced together, and the truth emerges: Dumbledore was once in Gringotts. There was a treasure stored in the Gringotts, and later he felt that Gringotts was no longer safe, so he entrusted Hagrid to take it out while helping Harry withdraw money--Hagrid was an excellent cover, because most people would think that this important Dumbledore would come to pick up the things in person, who would have thought that he would hand over the burden to a seemingly unreliable gamekeeper?After transferring the treasure, Dumbledore hid it in the corridor on the fourth floor and let the three-headed dog Lu Wei guard it.
Now Love just needs to figure out what the contents of the treasure are—it's not hard to guess.
After finishing the remaining homework at hand in one go, Love couldn't help stretching.Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimmer of light, Neville's memory ball.After the ball is held, if it turns red, it means that the person holding it has forgotten something.But it can only go so far, and it can't tell the user what he forgot... This is very tragic, because the user will have to think hard for a while, remembering what he forgot.
Looking at the memory ball, Love suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something: Hermione's birthday was coming, but he didn't seem to have prepared a birthday gift for her yet.
Hermione is my good friend, so it is natural to give her a gift, but the question is what should I give her?
