Mr. Emery sighed silently and said nothing. He just patted his shoulder with a meaning that Snape could feel. Snape just smiled and said, "Go and have a rest. I'll just check it one last time." "

Snape was still a little worried, so he checked it one last time, hoping that there wouldn't be any mistakes.

"Get some rest early. You don't want Thiel to see you with a tired face tomorrow morning." Mr. Emery closed the door and walked away lightly.

Of course, Snape didn't want Till to worry about his condition. He only checked it carefully one last time, then washed up and lay on the bed, just staring at the dark ceiling. When did Snape become vaguely conscious? I don’t even remember.

All he knew was that he didn't sleep well that night. It seemed that every scene in his dream was of Till being injured on the stage.

Till finally saw Snape, who had dark circles under his eyes and couldn't help but yawn: "I think I might be the most nervous. Why do you look like you haven't slept all night?"

"You are going to become the much-anticipated duel champion today. I am so excited that I can't sleep." Snape chuckled, closed his eyes and let Till's cool fingertips slowly trace across his eyes, without any intention of touching them. He revealed his uneasiness all night to Teal.

Teal curled his lips, not believing Snape's perfunctory words. She knew that Snape must be worried about her safety today, but he was afraid of burdening Till by saying it, so he used such words to coax her.

"Don't worry about me, Severus, I will protect myself." Teal stood on tiptoe, and while there was no one in the corridor, his lips rested comfortingly on the corners of Snape's lips for a moment, waiting for her to stand. When he returned, the worry on Snape's face had not changed much.

The worry about Tier firmly overwhelmed the ambiguous emotions that should have arisen at this moment.

There were more and more footsteps in the living room. Snape didn't ask Teal and him to stay here longer, but when he held her hand and walked to the living room, he still bent slightly and whispered in Teal's ear. Xi promised softly: "I'm right under the stage, you can see me at a glance."

He will accompany Till from the beginning to the end of the duel.

Win or lose, he was there.

Teal's hand held by Snape was slightly tighter, and the silent expression brought their hearts closer.

"Tiel! Work hard today!"

"Come on, little one."

"Winning or losing doesn't matter! Don't let yourself get hurt."

"..."

As soon as they saw Thiel, everyone started cheering him on one by one. Many of them told Thiel to put himself first. Thiel also responded one by one. After having a small breakfast, he was Crowded to the duel arena.

Duelists rarely eat a lot of food before a duel, which will hinder their movements during the duel, but not eating at all is obviously not enough for someone like Till who has a fairly good sleep schedule, so a little food is enough. , telling her to stay in a state of neither fullness nor hunger.

Midway, Till and his party met today's other protagonist, Mr. Martin, who was also surrounded.

Mr. Martin is only slightly younger than Professor Dumbledore, but he is so energetic that there is no trace of age when he walks around. And perhaps because of the importance of today, he looks more carefree than the day before, and is not affected by his age. The madness of restriction showed itself in his loud greeting.

Thiel's response was more ordinary, still the usual indifference and calmness: "Good morning, Mr. Martin."

"How are the preparations? I'm looking forward to today." Mr. Martin came directly to Till, but under the glare of Grindelwald behind Till, he still deliberately kept a certain distance from Till.

Grindelwald glanced at the hand of this old guy who was younger than him. Don't think he didn't notice that this guy almost touched Till's shoulder just now.

Before the duel begins, even if this pat on the shoulder is just a gesture of goodwill from an elder to a junior, it needs to be avoided. The final is crucial. Grindelwald is looking forward to Till's victory and does not allow any mistakes.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all this time of pushing and waiting be in vain?

Even though his back was turned to Grindelwald, Till noticed Mr. Martin's actions of silently keeping his distance, and his smile became more sincere: "Mr. Martin's duel is very exciting. I have been watching every game. I didn't expect that today I’m about to stand on the same stage as you. Thinking about it makes me nervous.”

"I was not absent from your duel, but I'm not nervous at all." Mr. Martin held the wand and took a few steps forward, then stopped and waited for Till and his party to approach. "My years of hard work are just waiting. today!"

Before just watching Mr. Martin's duel, everyone might think that he is a steady old man, but after only having a few conversations with him, Till concluded that this duel master was actually somewhat careless.

Till's nervousness is an excuse, but how relaxed she actually is can be seen from her smile and calmness. Mr. Martin is different. His lack of nervousness is genuine and his confidence is genuine.

He is much more arrogant than Thiel, and he does have the capital to be arrogant.

Just like that, Till and Mr. Martin walked into the crowded arena. The number of spectators today was the highest since the start of this duel competition. Countless comments and gazes came towards Till and Mr. Martin. People around them Everyone felt like they were out of breath and suffocated, but these two people came on stage calmly, as if they couldn't feel anything.

Mr. Weasley wiped his forehead, and together with several adults, he protected the children and looked for an empty seat in the crowd. As he walked, he also sighed: "I told you that this competition is not something ordinary people can participate in."

On the stage, Mr. Till and Mr. Martin were not in a hurry to start the duel. In addition to the different competition formats this year, there were also some more dispensable links. For example, right now, it is clearly the home court of Mr. Till and Mr. Martin, but in the short time before the duel, a speech by the Minister of Magic was abruptly added.

Listening to Fudge's exaggerated self-praise in the stands, Till couldn't help but curl her lips and lowered her head to prevent everyone from noticing her sarcasm.

For a minister who has only been in office for less than a year, apart from his ability to vassalize pure-blood families and stir up trouble, what other good deeds can others praise him for?

Caught the absconding Peter Pellum? That was done by the professors at Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic even kept delaying it until Peter Pellum escaped from prison. Freed the innocent Sirius Black? Freeing a poor man who had been imprisoned in Azkaban without trial, which was the Ministry's own fault, could be considered an achievement...

Till wiped his wand mockingly and boredly, and accidentally glanced at Mr. Martin opposite him doing the same thing.

The two duel masters looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Well, they are all people who have no good impression of Fudge.
