Chapter 24 Duel!Harry vs. Malfoy?

As a qualified melon-eating crowd, Zhou Yi chose to share this happiness with others, and soon, inadvertently, [A new wizard wants to challenge Professor Quirrell to a duel in order to gain Defense Against the Dark Arts. The news of the position of professor of art courses] was spread almost throughout Hogwarts.

Then, of course, there are all kinds of problems——

[Who is that wizard?Why is it so important to get the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship? 】

【Professor Zhou Yi also teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, why doesn't this wizard challenge him? 】

[This is easy to understand, Professor Zhou Yi, has any of you ever seen him use a magic wand? 】

There was silence, and then everyone came to their senses... The reason why this wizard didn't fight Zhou Yi should not be too obvious, he was just afraid that he would not be able to beat him!

Casting spells without a wand is a skill that can only be mastered by extremely powerful wizards. It is conceivable how terrifying Zhou Yi is who has never used a wand in front of the students since the class!

In contrast, Professor Quirrell, who stutters and behaves strangely, is of course the most suitable duel partner. To be honest, these students have some doubts about whether Professor Quirrell, who stutters, can recite a spell completely. Come out... If the spell stops in the middle, it won't have any effect!

However, it is obvious that some students who are about to be tortured by Zhou Yi's endless test papers to the point of showing symptoms of ptsd expect the new wizard to challenge Zhou Yi and defeat him... They really don't want to be in the hell of the test papers anymore. Struggling!

Although there is a long-term reward of ten Galleons once, and Zhou Yi has not shown any signs of repentance or refusal to pay the money many times before, but people are different. The existence of ... Of course, the scumbags may also be hidden academic masters but they don't like learning.

In short, top students don't necessarily like to study, but scumbags definitely don't like to study... Naturally, their dissatisfaction with Zhou Yi's sea of ​​questions tactics has almost reached its peak, and it's normal to have such thoughts.

Of course, Zhou Yi didn't care about this at all. As a teacher, if he is not regarded as a scourge by poor students, it means that the teacher is not responsible enough!

Some are absolute, but generally there is nothing wrong with it. After all, there are only a small number of students who can face everything at this age, even among adults, few people can do it. The reason why the ideal situation is called ideal is because it is difficult to happen in reality. .

"Hmm... can we buy a wave of melon seeds and peanuts, and then distribute them to win the hearts of the people?" Zhou Yi thought to himself.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yi said, please come in, and by the way, he lifted some restrictions on the door. Since this is a school, Zhou Yi did not set up any restrictions of immediate death, but some simple protective spells, such as anti-alahoo opening or anti-alahoo. Apparition and the like... The main purpose is to make it more difficult for those students who try to steal the test papers, so ordinary students only need to spend half a day to open this door.

The real gift is after opening the door—the bookshelves where the test papers are placed have far more magic arranged by Zhou Yi than the ones on the office door. Just imagine, when students or someone else participates in this time , after expending a lot of energy, finally successfully opened the door, and the victory was in sight, and even saw the pile of [The Root of All Evil] sitting on the bookshelf, but suddenly found the real defense measures It's on the bookshelf and the test papers on the bookshelf... That kind of feeling is interesting even thinking about it!

What made Zhou Yi even more interesting was the identity of the person who knocked on the door this time - Harry Potter with green eyes and a scar on his forehead.

Speaking of which, due to the implementation of the policy of free development, after entering Hogwarts, Zhou Yi never took the initiative to interfere with Harry, and he didn't even ask for information (it was definitely not troublesome), but Harry was still so obedient , really never took the initiative to come to Zhou Yi. Due to the staggered class time, Zhou Yi does not teach the first grade. The two have not bumped into each other until now. At most, they just meet and say hello to each other.

This made Zhou Yi very interesting. What made Harry give up his previous insistence on finding himself?

"Hi, Harry, long time no see." Zhou Yi let a chair fly to Harry and landed in front of him. "Please sit down...I feel like you want to ask me something?"

"Long time no see... Er... Anyway, nice to meet you, Zhou, but, I do have some questions, have you heard of wizard duels?" Harry sat down and asked a little nervously.

"Oh? Have you heard that too?" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "That wizard who doesn't know his name is planning a wizard duel against your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Quirrell?"

"Yes, that's the kind." Harry hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something more, but he didn't ask.

It was still the familiar way of "communication" - this kind of question that would be embarrassing for him to say, Harry thought directly in his heart, let alone, anyway, he knew that Zhou Yi would definitely use spells such as Legilimency so that he could learn from him. Know what he thinks.

"Ah, I think I probably know it. It's a very good idea. You even follow the ancient rituals more than that Mr. Wizard and Professor Quirrell. Assistants, when the duel is dead, the assistants will stand on top until all of them are dead... ...Aha, what a cruel way to duel, but it really does exist.” Zhou Yi was not polite, of course, if Harry really asked, he must still be the same as before [I didn’t use mind reading or Legilimency is just a set of rhetoric that your own thoughts are too obvious, so I can directly understand what is in your heart by analyzing your expression].

Believe it or not is one thing, and whether you say it yourself or not is another. That is an almost essential difference, one is unrealized doubts, and the other is self-destructive hammer!

"So, you accepted this duel, right? Harry, you are going to kill someone, um... I have to say that this is indeed a little faster than I thought, but it is not unacceptable," Zhou Yi said. Su Si" said, "But in my opinion, let's not talk about whether the duel between you can go on, what kind of result it will be, and whether it will cause casualties... Once you agree, it will be clear. You should have thought of something, right?"

"..." Harry was a little confused.

"Death, Harry, or, to put it mildly, even if it's just a simple injury, first of all you need to understand that this is Hogwarts, you can't have a life-and-death duel in private, so if you really plan to kill Malfoy Sir, you need to be prepared to deal with the traces, such as letting people not know that you did it, erasing the suspicion from you, or fabricating... Disguise some other injuries, and then bite the already dead person to death Mr. Malfoy, he said that he attacked you first and the attack was deadly, so you were forced to fight back in self-defense. This kind of behavior is called self-defense. Once successful, you don't have to bear any responsibility! "

Zhou Yi seemed to be enthusiastically giving advice to Harry.

Harry's face froze... He didn't think about it that much. Now that Zhou Yiyi said that he realized that he was too reckless before, it was because of one aspect, and another aspect was—why did you, a professor, give yourself such a positive attitude? The student came up with a plan on how to perfectly kill another student, could it be because...

"You are wrong, Harry, I am not a person who holds grudges, or in other words, there are very few people who are qualified to be held grudges by me," Zhou Yi shook his head, "This is your decision, I can choose not to interfere, it is very important It's normal, as for giving you advice... Isn't it natural to be biased? Of course, the most important thing is that I think about your things, Gaosun, I think you should understand now, it's still the same sentence , no matter what it is, before you do it, it's best to think through all the ins and outs of the matter."

"The ins and outs?" Harry was still a little confused.

"First of all, what kind of people are involved in this incident that has happened or is about to happen, what role will these people play after this incident, what will they do, what consequences will these things bring, and what will they do? Which people are affected... Well, this is something that a leader needs to consider. You can also just consider how these things will affect yourself or some people around you, and then do it If you make a decision, you cannot say it is completely correct, nothing is completely correct...but at least it will not be so bad that it cannot be tolerated, unless you have been deceived from the very beginning."

"In short, any choice should be well-founded, it may be tiring, but headless chickens in the headquarters are as good." Zhou Yi concluded, "The same sentence, I will not interfere with your actions, Harry, From now on, I can only give you some hints and suggestions, so that it will be helpful for your growth... Do you have any questions?"

"No, not anymore...Thank you, Zhou." Harry nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Zhou Yi, "Zhou, I was exceptionally selected to join the Quidditch team Yes, and a Seeker...yes!"

"Congratulations." Zhou Yi nodded, "When will you prepare for the competition?"

"Wood, is the current captain of the Gryffindor school Quidditch competition. He has been training me recently, but when it comes to the competition... I'm afraid it will be after Halloween."

"November, very good, you still have one or two more months," Zhou Yi winked at Harry, "connect everything about you, Harry, and choose what you should do from it." Things, and things that are beneficial to you, understand what I mean?"

"I think I understand, thank you, Zhou." A smile appeared on Harry's face, "Please come and watch my Quidditch match!"

"I think it's impossible for me to be absent." Zhou Yi nodded and agreed. In the original book, Professor Quirrell, that is, Voldemort, planned to make trouble during the Quidditch match and directly kill Harry. , but was discovered by Snape and has been saving Harry... This also caused a clever misunderstanding. It was hard to believe that Snape targeted Harry before to save Harry. When Min went to interfere with Snape, she didn't notice that she also bumped into Professor Quirrell to break the spell, so they "stone hammered" Snape completely, and then carried out a series of operations after that...

That's the plot in the original book. Now, whether it is Professor Quirrell standing in the audience of the Quidditch venue or not is still a very serious question!

If Professor Quirrell is replaced by Grindelwald...

Zhou Yi thought for a while, then shook his head. If it were Grindelwald, he probably wouldn't cast a small spell to make the broomstick malfunction like Voldemort who possessed Professor Quirrell, but a Fiercefire Curse would be cast on it!

……

"where did you go?"

In the dormitory, Ron asked Harry who came back after leaving for a while in a low voice: "I thought you left me and went straight to a duel with Malfoy... Shall we go at twelve o'clock in the evening?"

"No, Ron, we're not going," Harry shook his head, and said to Ron in a low voice, "Malfoy can't have mastered the power to defeat me in a duel, which means that he basically has no chance of winning , but he still proposed an invitation to a duel, or a prize showroom... What did you think of?"

"What other mechanism did he find, or did he ask his dad for a terrible magic item, and he was going to use that thing against you?" Ron said after thinking for a while.

"Hogwarts is a very magical place, but if the deadly mechanism really exists, I think Principal Dumbledore will definitely remind us, just like reminding us not to approach the corridor on the fourth floor..." Harry shook his head said, "As for him taking magic items from his house? His father is a member of the school board, a former Death Eater, and I am Harry Potter. If I am really killed by him, then their family will definitely be arrested." got up, so it's impossible!"

"Then why did he ask you to go there?" Ron frowned. "Is it itchy skin, looking for a beating?"

"On the contrary, I think his plan is to trick us." Seeing that he couldn't get Ron to speak out, Harry had no choice but to express his guess, "Wizard duels need written stationery, and they must be made public. It is necessary to invite someone with sufficient weight to referee, Malfoy did not do this, he just used the name of a wizard duel, trying to trick us, and then... Then maybe secretly inform Snape, let Snape Catch us so we'll be penalized and points deducted!"

Chapter 25 Hermione Granger's perfect self-defense performance

"How come, it's a noble wizard duel!" Ron looked very surprised, "If Malfoy doesn't go, he will be reduced to a laughing stock, no one will propose a wizard duel and then refuse to go, unless He wants to be ridiculed and looked down upon by everyone!"

"But when he challenged us to a wizard duel, the method he used was not a formal process, and wizard duels were supposed to be made public, so he didn't do it either," Harry said, "so this time it can be counted at best. Make a date, but Hogwarts prohibits students from using magic or fighting with each other!"

"...What you said makes sense." Ron thought about it carefully and found that it was true. "Then we won't go?"

"No." Harry shook his head, "We'll just go to sleep!"

"Do you want to tell the teacher?" Ron asked again, "Can you backhand them and sneak out of the dormitory at night?"

"Forget it, I suspect that Malfoy may have told a certain teacher. Let's talk about it now, but there may be problems." Harry shook his head, "Go to bed directly."

……

night.

A figure suddenly pushed away the portrait of the fat lady, crawled out from the hole leading to the Gryffindor lounge, turned around and found that the fat lady was not in the frame, it turned out that the fat lady didn't know where to go out late at night Drop by.

"No wonder I didn't find me coming out, I don't know where..." The figure whispered, she was wearing a pink dressing gown, her face could not be seen clearly in the darkness of the night, only a clump of fluffy hair could be seen , "Well, at least now I'm sure I won't be able to go back for a while."

"How did they get there? I don't seem to see the door being opened..." Hermione said to herself in a low voice. She heard the conversation between Harry and Malfoy during class today, but it wasn't until midnight Oh, she didn't get out of Harry and Ron. Could it be that they don't plan to go to the appointment?

Hermione thought to herself, but she quickly rejected this possibility in her heart. Based on her understanding of Harry and Ron...they were two ignorant fools!

Especially that Harry, he didn't know what he ate to grow up, and he couldn't release the spell in a mess, but his strength was astonishing, and he didn't know what he ate to grow up, no wonder he was able to beat those Slaters one by one. Forest!

"But, stupid," thought Hermione, "I just wanted to keep Gryffindor points from being deducted for no reason..."

While convincing herself in her heart, Hermione quickly and quietly came to the prize showroom and entered it.

The crystal glass case displaying the prizes was shining in the moonlight, and in the darkness, the quilts, shields, medals and statues shone silver and gold... Hermione didn't notice anyone, no Malfoy and others, that's normal Of, however, did Harry them?

Are they really not here?

Didn't I become a school rule breaker?

Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes widened, and she was about to run away as soon as she turned around.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a voice, someone talking - not Harry, nor Malfoy.

"They're somewhere here, look for them yourself, my dear, they must be hiding in a corner somewhere."

This is Filch talking to Mrs. Norris, his cat. From this sentence, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion-the wizard duel between Harry and Malfoy was deliberately leaked, and it was obviously Malfoy who did it , he wanted to trick Harry over and deduct Gryffindor's house points!

However, Harry was not caught!

Instead, it was me who came here!

Hermione turned around and started to leave. After turning a corner, she saw a corridor full of armor in front of her. I don't know where she walked, but in the end she ran out from the place where she was taking the Charms class, Merlin's beard, which must be at least several miles away from the prize showroom!

Hermione couldn't run anymore, she was panting and tugging at her neckline, she felt that she should get rid of Filch... She was sure that she didn't make any noise during the process of leaving, so Filch should still Patrol the prize room, looking for the person or people who "sneaked into the prize room", and now she just needs to find a way around that area, go up to the eighth floor, and go back into the lounge , into the dormitory, no one knows, no one knows...

Hermione quickly conceived a route in her brain, paused for a while, and after calming her breath, she had just walked a dozen steps when an accident happened.

Peeves, Hermione has never been so afraid of it, but Peeves is not, seeing Hermione the next second, it has never been so happy to see Hermione, it opened its mouth wide, ready to make a sound, Hermione click He clenched his wand tightly, but what kind of spell should he use to make a ghost lose the ability to speak in an instant, so that he can leave here quickly?

"It's just a gamble," Hermione thought, she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Peeves, releasing two spells that she had only seen in textbooks but never practiced. Magic is very advanced, and it needs to be taught after the fifth and sixth grades, and it consumes too much magic power, "Forget everything, nothing!"

The wand released two rays of light one after another, hitting Peeves directly, and Hermione didn't bother to check whether her spell had worked - she had already heard footsteps coming towards her!

Hermione quickly picked a direction to leave.

The footsteps paused for a moment, but soon followed Hermione again.

Hermione ran towards a corridor, but suddenly, she stopped, because she suddenly remembered a warning Dumbledore said at the beginning of school-"Anyone who does not want to encounter accidents and die in pain, do not enter the fourth floor." Hallway to the right"!

Hermione stopped in her tracks. If I remember correctly, the corridor I was about to enter was the corridor!

Then do you want to go in?

Whether to go in, encounter an accident, die in pain, or be honestly caught by Filch, and then successfully get Gryffindor a lot of college points, successfully become the enemy in everyone's eyes, and suffer all kinds of insults. People uncomfortable treatment?

Such a life is really scary!

Hermione was caught in a tangle.

But time will not wait patiently for her, and Filch will not, the footsteps are getting closer, and she will make a decision immediately!

"Damn it..." Hermione ran forward quickly, but the expected situation didn't happen. Nothing happened until she walked through the entire corridor. Hermione came to the end of the corridor smoothly, and then planned to open the door— — the door is locked.

"Alahoo!" Hermione didn't have time to think, because she heard footsteps approaching, so she took out her wand, whispered the spell quickly and tapped on the lock.

The lock clicked, and the door opened. Hermione quickly entered the door, and closed the door carefully with her backhand. The sound was cut off at once, as if there was some sound-proof magic shrouded here, which made Hermione feel relieved a lot.

However, the next second, she regretted it.

Because, she felt a hot breath, a strange smell, and a strange sound, she turned her head subconsciously, and finally knew the reason for the so-called "accident, painful death".

A dog, a monstrously large dog, so big that it filled the space from ceiling to floor, with three heads, three pairs of menacing eyes, three noses—twitching and trembling in her direction, and three Drooling mouth, saliva like a sticky rope, hanging down from the yellowed dog's teeth... What Hermione just felt was the breath of this big dog!

"Wow!" The three-headed dog yelled and rushed towards Hermione. Hermione was frightened and screamed, but she still reacted. Some of their faces were pale, but they still managed to release a spell—"Stunned!"

A ray of light was released from Hermione's wand, and quickly sank into the head of the three-headed dog. A large body actually meant a good hit, not to mention that there was no room for the three-headed dog to move around in this small room.

As for whether it worked... The three-headed dog shook its body, but still rushed towards Hermione. A magical creature of this size is already very resistant to spells, let alone a little first-year wizard. It's just the [fainting ground] that was released!

"It's over, I'm going to die here." Hermione couldn't help feeling desperate, and subconsciously opened the door to run out, but she knew it was too late.

"Wonderful performance, ma'am," said a voice from outside the door, which Hermione didn't remember, "but there are still some small mistakes."

"Run!" shrieked Hermione, bumping her head into...a broad, powerful hand, and remaining motionless.

"There's a three-headed dog! Run!" Hermione quickly raised her head and screamed, only then did she see who was coming, a very handsome male wizard wearing a star-patterned wizard robe, it was His deep hand prevented Hermione from bumping her head on his stomach. Hermione recognized this man, Zhou Yi, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!

Why is he here, outside the door?Hermione couldn't help thinking.

"Don't worry, ma'am, maybe you can turn around and take a look." Zhou Yi pointed behind Hermione.

Hermione swallowed, only to realize that there was no movement behind her. After such a long delay, the big teeth of the three vicious dogs should have already bit her.

Hermione couldn't help but grabbed Zhou Yi's big hand, and then she dared to turn around and look in the direction of the three-headed dog - she saw that the three-headed dog had already stood in place, as if it was still, unable to move , couldn't make any sound, but was still alive, and her fierce eyes were still fixed on Hermione. Hermione was startled, and shrank back again, before realizing, "Why didn't it move?"

"Well, there's no such stupid question anymore, it's so obvious." Hermione said to herself the second she asked.

"I fixed it with magic, but don't mistake what Principal Dumbledore said is just a useless warning. If you really break into this place, a massacre that no one wants to see is inevitable Something." Zhou Yi rubbed Hermione's head, his eyes lit up.

This fluffy feel... not bad!

"Is this three-headed dog guarding something?" Hermione froze for a moment, thinking for a fraction of a second whether she should get rid of the big hand raging on her head, and finally gave up resistance decisively, and chose a asked the topic to divert his attention.

"I think you've already seen the trapdoor under it, right? Smart, bold... Gryffindor? First-year freshmen..." Zhou Yi asked deliberately pretending not to know, "Hermione Grand Jay?"

"Yes, Professor Zhou." Hermione replied in a low voice, only then did she realize that she still didn't seem to be out of the crisis, and her presence here violated school rules!

"It seems that you should understand what your actions mean." Zhou Yi slightly exerted his big hand that was still raging on Hermione's head, and led Hermione away from the room where the three-headed dog was locked, leading to the storage location of the Philosopher's Stone, and then Close the door, "This place was not supposed to be opened by a simple Alahoo hole, but obviously, something strange happened, and I will report it to Principal Dumbledore later... Don't worry, I won't say anything about you matter.

Although you, as a first-year freshman, appearing here late at night will definitely violate a lot of school rules and suffer a lot of punishment, but before that, I was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. "
