The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

The two soon stood on the stage.

"Facing your partner!" Lockhart shouted from the side. "Bow!"

Harry and Malfoy barely nodded, they stared at each other intently.

"Raise your wand and get ready!" Lockhart said loudly, "When I count to three, I will cast magic to disarm the opponent. We don't want an accident. 3...2...1..."

Draco almost counted to two when he raised his wand over his shoulder and swung it out.

No spells, no light effects.

[Upside Down Golden Bell] activates quietly.

Draco had a scheming smile on his face.

He could almost foresee the humiliating scene of Harry being hung upside down again.

This was much better than the last time he watched Harry get defeated by John.

However, things did not develop as he expected.

Harry seemed to be on guard, and he quickly started casting spells the moment Draco waved his wand.

"Armor protection!"

"Om-"

The shadow of the shield disappeared in a flash.

Immediately afterwards, Draco himself was hung upside down by a huge force.

Harry couldn't believe he had done this.

He looked at his wand with wide eyes, then at Draco opposite him who was struggling and fluttering in the air, and the corners of his mouth raised.

He raised his wand again and pointed it firmly at Draco.

He wants revenge!

He wanted Draco to experience the feeling of making a fool of himself in public!

However, before he could take action again, Lockhart rushed onto the stage, stopped between the two of them and shouted:

"I said, just disarm!"

Harry frowned and wanted to continue.

But at this time, Snape had already rescued Draco and looked at him gloomily.

At this time, bursts of cheers from the Gryffindors finally came from the audience.

Hermione and Michelle slapped their palms red.

Ron even blushed and cheered.

In contrast, there was deathly silence on the Slytherin side.

Everyone was staring at Draco and Harry with frowns, even John.

The scene before him made Harry more and more excited.

He can truly feel how powerful he is!

Now, he is confident to defeat and save John!

"Okay, Harry, let's do it again!" Lockhart came forward to smooth things over. "This time, both parties please remember my words. You are only disarming your weapons and no other spells are allowed! Do you understand?"

Draco nodded with red eyes.

Harry on the opposite side looked at John with a smile and said:

"I think Malfoy is no longer qualified to duel with me! I want to challenge you, John!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire auditorium fell silent.

Everyone stared at Harry as if he were an idiot.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous cheer suddenly rang out from the Slytherin team.

John appears!

He walked slowly out of the crowd and stepped onto the stage gracefully.

Draco was so angry with Harry that he was shaking all over.

"John, can I..."

"To shut up!"

Snape interrupted Draco's words, then silently nodded to John, and then carried Draco off the stage.

Now, only John and Harry were left on the stage.

"I really didn't expect things to develop like this! This is so exciting!" Lockhart said excitedly, "Are you both ready?"

Neither John nor Harry paid any attention to Lockhart. While Lockhart was speaking, the two of them had already completed the entire set of dueling etiquette.

Lockhart smiled awkwardly and said:

"Okay, it seems that these two can't wait! So, 3...2...1..."

This time no one jumped the gun, and both of them waited until the last moment before raising their wands at the same time.

However, John's spellcasting speed was significantly faster than Harry's.

"Except your weapons!"

"boom--"

A red light first erupted from the tip of John's staff and rushed straight towards Harry.

Harry was hit directly, and the wand in his hand flew high, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and finally fell into John's hand.

Harry looked extremely ugly.

John's attack was too fast!

It was so fast that he couldn't react at all!

This is completely a gap in basic hard power skills!

"Harry, give you your wand."

As John spoke, he threw the wand back to Harry, while his eyes flickered back and forth over Harry.

Neither [Expelliarmus] or [Armor Protection] should be the spells that Harry should master at the moment.

Not to mention that Harry had previously performed a perfect counter-curse against Draco.

To do this, Harry must have gone through a long period of training and also needed the guidance of a famous teacher.

So, the diary got into Harry's hands and Harry was trained?

John wasn't sure, he needed more evidence.

Thinking so, John smiled and said:

"Let's do it again, Harry, this time it's you who will attack."

Upon hearing this, Harry's already red face turned blue again.

He gasped and nodded vigorously.

This time they didn't need Lockhart's announcement. The two quickly took a stance, and then Harry shot a red light.

His movements were fast and accurate, and it was obvious that he had practiced for a long time.

But, this is of no use.

John had already made preparations.

At the same time that Harry finished reciting the curse, John's [Armor Protection] was activated simultaneously, deflecting Harry's [Expelliarmus] almost instantly.

As Harry's wand was knocked away again, the Slytherins excitedly waved their fists and cheered, and some even sang "The Seeker's Song" excitedly.

Thanks to the professors' refutation and propaganda, students in the other three major colleges are actually not so sure that John is the heir of Slytherin.

But Slytherins are different.

They truly believed that John was the heir of Slytherin!

After all, John's ability was really outstanding.

In their opinion, only the heirs of Slytherin could be so outstanding in so many fields.

And now, the heir of Slytherin has defeated Gryffindor's 'savior'!

And it’s pure crushing!

Facing John, the famous Harry Potter didn't even have the slightest power to fight back!

"Come on! Keep provoking me! You still dare to challenge John, you really don't want to live or die!"

Draco growled loudly.

But Harry didn't react at all.

At this moment, he just stared blankly at the wand thrown back by John again, feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart.

He is defeated.

His plan to save John failed.

"It looks like the winner has been decided, haha..."

Snape sneered and was about to go on stage to announce the end of the duel.

Obviously, seeing Harry looking so lost made him feel good.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Harry on the stage say:

"Try it again! This time, I will definitely succeed!"

Harry looked at John with a determined expression.

He said this as if he was speaking to John, but also as if he was encouraging himself.

Snape immediately stepped back after hearing this, enjoying watching Harry continue to humiliate himself.

John on the other side of the stage also nodded.

Harry took a deep breath when he saw this.

Recalling what Riddle taught him in the memory environment, he pointed the wand forcefully at his feet.

Following a turbulence on the ground, a giant stone python emerged from the stage.

"Help me defeat John!"

Harry shouted.

But what he didn't notice was that the words he spoke were not human words, but a hissing sound similar to a snake's message.

As the sound spread in the auditorium, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

A touch of blood appeared in John's eyes opposite him.
