Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 108 The Duel Champion and the Potion Master

Time soon came to Sunday amid the lively discussions among the little wizards.

After dinner, Harry and Hermione sat in the outer cloister of the castle. This is the place where they met the giant monster. On one side of the corridor are some long platforms where you can rest, and beyond that is the green pasture.

In the pasture, there is a small patch of grass that is a little short and sluggish...perhaps the soil there was affected by last year's troll blood.

Hermione had a look of anticipation on her face, looking forward to the Duel Club.

In fact, she has been worried about the dueling courses in the fourth and fifth grades in the future. She feels that she is just good at reading.

But now, with the duel club, maybe I can get into the practice of dueling earlier. By then, the fourth and fifth graders in the future will be able to cope with it more freely.

On the other hand, whether it was the troll incident last year or the Quirrell incident, she was actually very worried.

Especially the troll incident left a deep impression on her.

She could always remember the moment when the troll's big stick came down, and she could only freeze in place stupidly.

How stupid.

In her mind, it was this reason that led Harry to choose to find Quirrell alone instead of asking her for help...

You know, the troll incident was actually caused by Harry coming to her... If Harry hadn't come, maybe she would have died!

In other words, it was Harry who saved her life, but the Quirrell incident... This feeling of not being able to help made her feel very uncomfortable.

Harry didn't know what Hermione was thinking, he was just full of expectations.

Duel Club? I've decided to add it!

Hmm...it feels like time is running out even more.

After thinking about it, they saw Professor Flitwick coming down from the west tower, and the two of them greeted him respectfully.

"Professor Flitwick, are you ready to start?" Harry asked expectantly.

Flitwick nodded: "Yes, we have to decorate the auditorium now."

With that, he walked towards the Great Hall, followed closely by Harry and Hermione.

When they arrived at the auditorium, they were surprised to find a large number of young wizards gathered in the corridor. Harry saw one of them through the gap in the crowd opened by Professor Flitwick.

The long dining tables of the four colleges have disappeared, and a large stage has appeared along one wall. The hundreds of floating candles seem to be much darker than before, but what is surprising is that this is just the perception of color. In fact, they Everything can be seen clearly.

And it is precisely this that gives rise to a depressing sense of urgency.

At this time, Mu En was holding up the wand and pointing it at the ceiling of the auditorium.

"Professor Snape, what weather do you think would be better?"

"Whatever!" Snape said dryly. He was very dissatisfied with the announcement. The announcement "bringing a real duel" made him feel like a stage actor.

Although he did not mind a duel, such an announcement did make him feel a little unhappy.

Mu En didn't notice anything strange about Snape. The professors' duel performance was something they had decided on at the opening banquet.

And his attention at this time was focused on the skylight above the auditorium, which was cast with a weather spell.

Looking at the candles around him, he suddenly had an idea and snapped his fingers.

"I see!"

As he spoke, Mu En raised his little wand and pointed it upward. Suddenly, the clouds and mist surged, and the color of the entire auditorium became a little gloomier again.

Rumble——

Thunder flashed among the black clouds, and in the next moment, a bolt of lightning fell, echoing throughout the auditorium, and then raindrops fell.

"Rainy night, thunder, duel!" Mu En nodded, "What do you think of this atmosphere?"

"It's perfect!" Professor Flitwick came to Moon's side at some point.

With that said, the three of them walked to the stage. In fact, this was the result of the expansion of the guest seat before. There were not many useless decorations. Those things were not needed for a duel.

"My hands have warmed up. To be honest, I haven't done this in decades." Flitwick's tone was full of expectation.

At the same time, as the three of them stood on the stage, the time came to eight o'clock as promised at the beginning. Seeing that the arrangement had been completed, the little wizards rushed in hurriedly.

Before long, the entire auditorium was filled with people.

"To be honest, there are many more people here than I thought." Flivi said with some excitement.

Mu En smiled: "Perhaps your display a few days ago really taught them a lesson."

"It would be great if that's the case." Flitwick smiled.

With that said, Mu En took a step forward.

After this period of getting along, many students have understood that Professor Mu En always has tricks to suppress their voices.

So at this time, even if Mu En had not done anything, they took the initiative to quiet down.

"Welcome!" Mu En nodded: "Welcome everyone to come here, to the first meeting of the Duel Club.

First, let me introduce to you the other two professors in this club. "

"Professor, there is no need to introduce the professor, we all know the professor." Someone whispered a convoluted joke, making everyone laugh.

Mu En shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't think you guys know each other."

"What?"

"Who doesn't know Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape?"

Mu En pressed her hands and met the eyes of the little wizards.

"First of all, let me introduce to you, Professor Filius Flivy, who was the three-time dueling champion of the British Underground Dueling Club!!"

After saying that, the little wizards immediately exploded. Although a small number of little wizards had heard this rumor before, they never knew whether it was true or not.

And it is difficult for these gossips to attract their attention. After all, even if he puts aside his body, Professor Flitwick's personality is too... gentle.

What's more, they had heard Professor Flitwick himself say a few days ago: "I have only a superficial knowledge of dueling."

Thinking about it, the eyes of all the young wizards looking at the professor changed.

Duel champion...is this called simple dabbling? ?

Soon, they turned their attention to Professor Snape.

The one who dabbled briefly was a dueling champion, so who would this Potions teacher be?

By the way... aren't there many rumors that Professor Snape is a Death Eater?

Thinking about this, all the young wizards looked at Snape with some fear, deeper fear than before.

"Only the stupidest guys like to make groundless speculations, put away your eyes that don't sparkle with any wisdom."

Snape's voice suddenly sounded, and the gloomy tone seemed to dim the light in the entire auditorium.

Moon raised his eyebrows. Well, originally he had prepared a violent enough introduction for Snape to make up for the fact that he did not have any substantive title.

To be precise, there is no title that can be introduced to young wizards.

Including but not limited to titles such as Death Eater, Master of Dark Arts, Master of the Unforgivable Curse, and someone with at least a dozen lives on his hands.

As for how Moon knew, Dumbledore talked about it when he was chatting with him, just after the incident with Quirrell last year.

Of course, Mu En only knew a rough idea.

As for the rest, he had no intention of caring about other people's privacy, and he didn't care why Dumbledore let him into the school.

If you are not a good person yourself, why bother caring about others.

"Professor, will the club teach other things? Things that you can't learn in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Someone had to ask other questions.

"Of course." Mu En nodded.

As he spoke, his eyes gradually became dangerous.

"The only difference between here and the classroom is that here is a real duel!"

After saying that, the people below were full of doubts and looked at each other.

"What's the meaning?"

"Isn't that what we learned in class about real dueling?"

Mu En snapped her fingers, "Of course we are learning about real duels in class.

But, think about it again, what did I just say? "

Soon, a little wizard reacted and said hesitantly: "Is this a real duel?!"

Mu En nodded, confirming this answer.

"Okay, without further ado, I think you must also be wondering, what is a real duel?

So for this reason, Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape unanimously decided to use an actual battle as the answer! "

As he spoke, flames ignited around the stage.

Snape's mouth twitched and he tried his best to maintain his expression: "Pretend to be a ghost!"

As Professor Flitwick looked at the blazing flames around the stage, he felt that his brain, which had been sluggish for a long time, became restless again.

This was it, the stage that once belonged to him alone, with spells intertwined and blood splashing!

He was very young and violent back then!

As a half-goblin, he had been in the wizarding world, but he was always discriminated against and suppressed by ordinary wizards.

And what he likes to do most is to beat the shit out of every self-righteous guy in the ring!

Only later, he realized something.

Discrimination in people's hearts is a big mountain.

Even if he knocks down everyone in the world, no matter how many championship trophies and championship belts he wins, he can only change the way a small circle views him.

So he chose to come to Hogwarts, come here, and be with the children.

This is his return to the "ring" again after decades!

A strange but familiar feeling slowly emerged from the bottom of his heart. It was not born out of thin air, but a powerful and unique heart that was buried deep in him and belonged to the duelist.

Mu En's figure had arrived off the stage at some point. Snape felt the aura emerging from Flitwick and frowned slightly.

Flitwick was also his professor, and this was the first time he saw this professor in such a posture.

"Come on, Severus!" Flitwick laughed.

"Filius, this is just a performance!" Snape couldn't help but remind him, even though he was still dissatisfied with the word "performance" just now!

"I know, otherwise I would have taken action when the flames appeared." Flitwick nodded, showing a gentle smile.

But he still couldn't hide the strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

Mu En stood below and slightly lowered the height of the flame. At the same time, a transparent film in the flame circle gradually stretched into the void, forming a huge cover.

Mu En, in a rare move, activated the little magic wand seriously.

He did not dare to underestimate these two people, and he had promised before that he could let them use their methods.

It wouldn't be fun if the protective spell you set up was vulnerable.

As for the rest, the stage was large, and covered by Hogwarts' anti-Apparition technique, it was enough for an exhibition match.

Just as they were thinking about it, the two professors came together, bowed to each other, turned their backs, and walked towards each other.

After seven steps, the two turned around, wands held vertically in front of their chests, and stared at each other.

Mu En counted down for the children, raising her hands high.

"three"

"two"

"one"

The next moment, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky.

"Torn apart——"

Short, extremely fast, a complete spell sounded like a single syllable in Flitwick's mouth.

Even before the thunder in the ears of the little wizards dissipated, his spell had already been recited!

He has always been aggressive.

"Armor protection——"

Snape didn't show any signs of weakness. When the lightning-like spell approached instantly, he waved his wand fiercely.

The profound iron armor curse, in addition to being able to resist the curse, can also rebound.

The curse struck Professor Flitwick.

"Fire Shield Bodyguard——"

A ring-shaped fire shield appeared in front of Professor Flitwick, catching the counterattacking spell, and then turned around sharply.

The curse lurking above him was just avoided.

"The fire shield obscured his vision - and Professor Flitwick relied on his extremely keen observation to avoid Snape's attack.

So why did Professor Flitwick use Fire Shield instead of some other spell? ! "Harry's eyes were fixed on the dancing figure on the ring.

However, Professor Flitwick was seen walking non-stop, walking in strange but harmonious steps, twisting his waist, and the fire shield dragged out a brilliant tail flame in mid-air, turning into a fire dragon and flying towards Snape.

Snape's wand pointed at the ground, and then seemed to overturn the entire earth.

"Flying sand and moving rocks——"

A yellow dust storm appeared out of thin air from the ground and swept towards the fire dragon.

"This is it! This is it!!" Harry's eyes were fixed on the battle, and Hermione beside him noticed Harry's excitement.

"What do you mean?!" Hermione asked Harry anxiously.

"The wizard's battle has never been about the curse! This is what I'm looking for! Yes, it's this kind of battle -" Harry said seriously.

One thing that is very regrettable is that although Uncle Mu En has long told him that wizards should not just fight against waves, he has never been able to understand it deeply.

The reason is simple, because the battles he has witnessed so far with Uncle Mu En are too boring.

Because it is too strong, too strong to be boring, and too strong to leave any room for learning!

Harry began to review the previous battle with Voldemort again, and two thoughts kept intertwining in his mind.

Even he himself didn't react. He could easily do two things at this time - in terms of fighting!

On the stage, the effects caused by various magic spells are intertwined. Various spells such as the Body Illusion Spell and the Transformation Spell are constantly creating violent collisions!

And among the effects of these spells, truly powerful attack spells will always appear unexpectedly, like lightning——

In the end, I don't know who cast the cloud spell and began to deprive them of their sight. The young wizards who were watching nervously in the audience could only guess the current battle situation by relying on the light of the magic spell flickering in the clouds.

Suddenly, before anyone could react, the two magic spells suddenly intertwined and caused a huge explosion——

The clouds dispersed and various exclamations appeared.

I saw Flitwick's wand pressed against Snape's chin, and Snape's wand was also pointed at Professor Flitwick.

Above the arena, there was silence.

"Pa-pa-pa-pa-"

I don't know who started it, like the fuse lighting a dynamite barrel.

Suddenly, the entire auditorium burst into loud applause that could be heard even by Dumbledore on the eighth floor! !

Mu En looked at the two professors on the stage and expressed his heartfelt recognition and respect for their battle.

But then when he faced Snape's aggressive gaze and Flitwick's eagerness to try, he suddenly realized something.

These two professors seem to want to recognize themselves!
