Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 29 Fighting Dragon Arena

That night, Peter and Sirius spent the night building a stone fortification in the clearing next to the Whomping Willow.

Peter calls it "Dragon Arena".

He conjured many pieces of pure white marble, and formed them into a huge semicircle by magic.

This fortification has no windows, only some small square holes as ventilation holes and lookouts, and the interior is illuminated by a magic light ball hanging from the ceiling.

This not only prevents dragons and spells from hurting casual passers-by, but also prevents others from peeping into Harry's training process.

Peter didn't want the other warriors to see Harry's strategy, and he didn't want the attacker lurking in the school to take the opportunity to hurt Harry.

As for what Sirius was doing—he was mainly responsible for chatting with Peter, and when he got tired of chatting, he would lie down on the grass and sleep.

In the early hours of the morning the work was satisfactorily completed.

Peter conjured up a big eye-catching sign and stood it at the door, on which it was written in bright red letters:

"Dangerous! Hogwarts security fortifications, no one is allowed to enter!"

Before dawn, a couple sneaked into the clearing. Curiosity drove them to the fort to find out.

Just as they were reading the scarlet letters on the sign by the dim light of their wands, a big black dog suddenly rushed out of the grass.

The vicious dog, taller than a man when standing on its hind legs, bit and barked at them so frightened that they ran away without looking back.

The next day was the weekend, Harry came to the Whomping Willow early in the morning as scheduled, and was shocked to find this huge fortress.

When he got to the sign, the big black dog rushed out and threw him down.

He was taken aback at first, but soon he was laughing and romping on the grass with the black dog.

"Stop playing, Padfoot!" Peter yelled from inside the fort. "Time is running out!"

The black dog disappeared and turned into Sirius. He put on a serious look and pushed Harry into the inside of the fortress.

Harry stared dumbfounded at this vaulted building as spacious as a Colosseum, with enough space in the center for a football field, and a ceiling much higher than the Hogwarts Great Hall.

"Dear player Harry, welcome to the Dragon Arena!"

Peter's cheerful voice came from above, and Harry looked up and turned around to find him.

He was lying on a high glass platform in mid-air, with a comfortable recliner under him, and a small low table in the middle of the recliner, with piles of food and drinks on the table.

He literally looked like he was on vacation at the beach.

"This... this is too spacious!" Harry exclaimed.

"I cast the Untraceable Stretch Charm - it's illegal, of course. So don't let anyone at the Ministry know about it, especially that Dolores Umbridge," Peter said, smiling.

"Professor, I want to start practicing right away!" Harry said excitedly.

"Very good, the spirit is commendable."

As he spoke, Peter waved his wand casually, and a Ukrainian iron belly appeared in the middle of the field.

Harry eagerly drew his wand and assumed a fighting stance.

Sirius looked at his godson worriedly, "Harry, have you ever learned how to fight a dragon? Remember, the trick is an eye disease spell and a multiple stun spell, do you want me to demonstrate it?"

"No need, Professor Peddie demonstrated yesterday, and you two have exactly the same way of fighting dragons." Harry said with a smile.

Sirius also showed a smile. He and Peter are both actual combat players, and their understanding of fighting dragons coincides with each other.

Peter waved his wand, and the battle began.

Following Peter's example yesterday, Harry aimed at Longan and fired an Eye Sickness Curse.

He's a brilliant Seeker with great athleticism and reflexes.

But he soon discovered that aiming for the eyes of a raging dragon was no easy task.

The spell hit the dragon's horn, doing nothing to it except making it more violent.

Harry narrowly dodged a claw attack, and Sirius, who was on the side, was afraid that his godson would be injured, and he was so scared that he almost attacked the dragon.

Fortunately, Harry gained his footing and fired another Eye Sickness Charm, but when the dragon lowered its head, the spell flew past its nose.

He was a little impatient, and directly fired two stun spells in succession, but the two spells hit different positions respectively, and did not have any effect.

Just as Harry raised his wand and cast the Stunning Charm, the dragon aimed at him, and it opened its mouth and let out a pillar of fire.

"Harry!" cried Sirius.

Before the pillar of fire engulfed Harry, Peter waved his wand, and the dragon and the flames disappeared without a trace.

Sirius hurried forward to check whether Harry was injured. Fortunately, Peter responded in a timely manner and Harry was not injured.

"Don't rush to use multiple stun spells before the eye sickness spell hits. The casting speed of this move is too slow, and you are easy to be attacked," Peter concluded with a serious expression, "and your multiple stun spells are not used well. wrong."

"Let me demonstrate this time," said Sirius.

He drew his wand and cast a very crisp multiple stun spell, "Look—" he repeated the demonstration, "you have to use your wrist and make sure your movements are decisive, so that several spells can hit the same one." point."

Harry watched Sirius' every movement intently and nodded slightly.

After a short break, Harry started the second practice session.

This time he was more patient, and the fifth Eye Sickness Curse he fired finally hit Longan.

Sirius was very excited and stood by eagerly cheering on his godson.

The dragon spun blindly in circles, its tail and paws sweeping here and there.

Harry dodged several attacks with the agility of a Seeker, but his strength was exhausted.

Finally he found a suitable opening, "Swoon-swoon!" he yelled out of breath.

A red light shot from the tip of his staff and hit the fire dragon on the head.

The dragon's neck fell back for a moment, but it quickly regained its balance and breathed fire in the direction of the spell.

Seeing that Harry had lost, Peter swung his wand once again to end the fight.

"A lot of progress, but not enough," Peter concluded. "Let's practice multiple stun spells alone."

So for the rest of the morning, Harry practiced casting multiple Stunning Charms against the far wall.

Peter conjured up a large plate with targets drawn on the wall so that Harry could see if his spell was falling accurately and concentratingly.

After each practice session with Harry, Peter reset the sheet to its original shape.

Sirius corrected him over and over again, and taught Harry how to recite spells, how to exert force on his wrists, and how to divide a stun spell into multiple tracks, and then accurately concentrate on one point.

"The range of wrist shaking should not be too large, so that the spells cast will be concentrated on the same point."

"Shake it quickly, and with great force—no, Harry, it's just an ordinary Stunning Charm."

"The curse hits the ceiling!"

……

When lunch was approaching, Peter suggested that everyone take a break and go to lunch first.

Although exhausted, Harry insisted on doing it again.

"Dizzy!" he yelled.

However, in the next second, he fell straight to the ground.

Harry accidentally hit himself with a spell, and Sirius screamed, and hurried over to revive him.

"The boy..." Peter said distressedly, "he's so tired."
