Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis patted Draco on the shoulder and spoke directly.

"It seems that Professor Moody is quite dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic's decision back then!"

"Hephis Dam, a well-known figure in the school. I had heard of you before I came here." Moody said with some scrutiny.

"I'm honored." Although Hephis said he was honored, there was a sarcastic smile on his face.

Moody's eyes moved between the two men, "Are you planning to stand up for Malfoy?"

Hephis's smile deepened. "That's right if you want to understand it that way."

"Heh, it seems that Lucius Malfoy has been stirring up trouble recently and has attracted a lot of people!" Moody sneered and said sarcastically.

He didn't know the true relationship between Hephis and Malfoy.

It was just because Malfoy had been quite active recently that he thought Hephis had joined Malfoy.

But the reality is just the opposite.

Draco could no longer control himself after hearing this. He stood up abruptly, drew out his wand, and pointed it at Moody. "How dare you..."

Moody was stunned at first, then a perverted smile flashed across his face.

"It looks like Malfoy is going to demonstrate the spell to everyone himself."

He pointed at his chest and said, "Come on, attack here. Let me see which one you can use."

Draco tried to recite the spell, but his body was restrained and he couldn't move.

Hephis suggested with a playful smile on his face.

"It seems that Professor Moody is ready to teach in practice! Why don't you and Draco have a wizard duel. Let us see how real wizards fight."

"Okay." Moody said with full energy.

If he were to fight against Dam, he still had no confidence, but against Malfoy, there was a glimmer of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Hephis stood up and dragged Draco to the side of the classroom.

The little snakes immediately stood up and followed Hephes, standing in unison behind him.

The little eagles were still confused. After looking at each other, they stood up silently.

Walked to the Slytherin side, not to the opposite side of Slytherin.

Last year, the little snakes performed very well, which greatly changed the young wizards from other academies' views of them.

Especially since Ravenclaw and Slytherin have classes together the most often, the relationship between the two colleges is now the best.

Hephis snapped his fingers lightly, and all the tables and chairs disappeared except for the podium and the teacher's seat.

Instead, an arena that was different from the traditional wizard duel was formed. It was a circular arena.

Moody was directly shocked by Hephis's move. He cast the spell silently and without a wand, and it was a large-scale magic.

Look at the arena that is as smooth as the surface of the water. Not to mention a little wizard in the fourth grade, even he can't do it with a magic wand.

Draco now felt like he was being roasted on the grill. Asking him to beat Moody was a joke.

He was a little panicked, and said to Hephis in a trembling voice, "I... I can't do it! I... it's impossible..."

Hephis slapped Draco on the shoulder, and a shadow hit his body.

Draco felt his body swelling instantly, and he could even feel magic flowing freely in his body.

He looked at Hephis in surprise, "This..."

Hephis directly transmitted the message, "I've added a buff to you. You just need to go up and show off. I'll take care of the rest."

Draco immediately became excited, but he kept his mouth tightly shut, afraid to make any sound.

He didn't know how to transmit sound, and he was afraid that Hephis would help him cheat and be heard by others.

So he couldn't speak and could only look at Hephis with gratitude.

At this time, Moody also came back to his senses and walked onto the stage first, his eyes fixed on Draco.

Hephis nudged Draco and gestured to him.

Draco straightened his back, acted like a big shot, and walked onto the stage with a ruthless stride.

His chin was slightly raised, his platinum hair tossed to the side, and he looked at Moody with contempt.

Moody was shocked again by Draco's actions. Was he really confident or just pretending?

He was confused now too.

"Professor Moody, seeing that your legs and feet are so unsteady, I'll let you make the first move."

Draco said this while turning his head to the side, not even looking at Moody.

The taunting effect is simply maximized, and the ability to pretend to be cool is also full marks.

Moody doesn't care about being ridiculed or not. He is not willing to miss such a good opportunity.

So he cast a Transfiguration spell and shot it in Draco's direction.

Although Draco pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, he was still unsure in his heart.

He subconsciously looked in Moody's direction and saw the red light shooting towards him.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Just as he was about to make some movement, his hands started moving on their own.

He quickly raised his right hand and cast a silent "Iron Armor" spell, accurately blocking the spell.

Although Moody was surprised at Malfoy's reaction speed, he was experienced after all.

He first used a disarming spell to distract Draco, and at the same time placed a swamp spell around Draco in an attempt to restrict his movement.

Hephis watched this scene with some amusement.

Since he chose to let Draco show off, he certainly wouldn't let Draco move even a step.

He controlled Draco with ease, deflecting the incoming spell.

He casually cast a solidifying spell to strengthen the ground beneath his feet.

Then I watched Moody's attack, picking up and sending one away after another, so elegantly.

Seeing that the single-target spell was unlikely to work, Moody decisively changed his strategy.

He waved his hand violently, causing the ground to shatter, and then summoned "flocks of birds".

And attached to them a blazing "flame".

The sky above the ring was occupied by a group of flaming birds, which flew straight towards Draco like meteors.

Draco seemed unusually calm, and he certainly wasn't panicking.

He doesn't need to cast spells, his main function is to control facial expressions.

He gently rotated the wand in his hand, and in an instant a giant python that was twelve feet long appeared out of thin air, wrapped around his body, forming a defensive wall.

The python's huge mouth opened and closed, easily swallowing several firebirds.

The other molten birds were blocked by the snake's body, not even a trace was left.

The giant python also launched a fierce attack towards Moody.

Moody had to retreat again and again, constantly changing his position and firing all kinds of spells at Draco.

But the python's body did not uncoil at all, it was only its head that attacked.

The most bizarre thing is that the part below the snake's head can be stretched at any time like an elastic rope.

Moody could only keep creating stone walls to resist the attacks of the snake head, and for a while, gravel flew everywhere.
