[HP] The Elegance of the Night

A week later, a notice was posted on the bulletin board in the Slytherin common room that the school would be organizing a dueling club, tonight.

"Duel? A boring game." Igil left the bustling crowd uninterested after reading the announcement. The school would definitely not allow them to use black magic blatantly. Such a duel was meaningless.

Sitting down in a comfortable armchair, Igil spread out the parchment to check his homework, and Draco was very interested in this club.

"Igil, this is not boring at all. Think about those Gryffindors, you don't have this kind of opportunity." Draco smiled so much that his teeth were bared, and he was about to catch up with Lockhart for second, "I'm done!" They don't have to be responsible, maybe they can give the academy extra points."

"I think you're right, Draco, but don't be like Lockhart again," Igil said helplessly, now he was dizzy seeing Professor Lockhart's shiny teeth.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining tables of the auditorium disappeared, a gilded stage appeared along one wall, hundreds of floating candles flickered, the ceiling became as black as velvet, and almost the whole school came. The wizards crowded together, discussing excitedly with their wands.

"Pansy, did you find out who will teach us?" Draco asked the girl standing beside Igil, and the girl with short hair parted in the middle spread her hands and replied, "Professor Flitwick used to teach us when he was young." It's the dueling champion, but there's little chance of him hosting the event. I'm guessing it's Professor Lockhart."

"You guessed it, Pansy." Igil's words were accompanied by the exclamation of countless girls. Gilderoy Lockhart waved to the crowd and walked onto the stage. Snape in black.

"Lockhart's progress is really fast!" Draco said unexpectedly, the godfather had been avoiding him everywhere before.

"I'm afraid Professor Snape means the same as you mean to Gryffindor." Igil said with a little sympathy, and the corner of their dean's mouth curled into a smile. Igil only smiled when the little lions were deducted points. I just saw it.

Sure enough, Professor Snape was an assistant who volunteered to demonstrate to Lockhart. They bowed to each other, and then held their wands in front of their chests like arrows.

"One--two--three--" The two men raised their wands over their shoulders at the same time, and a blinding red light emanated from Snape's wand, sending Lockhart flying off the stage and into the wall. Up, "Disarm you!"

"It must look painful..." Draco clapped his hands, his tone full of sympathy, and the charming blond fell off the wall and curled up on the floor.The little witches covered their mouths and screamed.

"Okay, you see! It's a disarming spell - as you can see, I lost my wand - balabalabal" Lockhart staggered back onto the stage, feeling nothing Embarrassed, his nonsense finally aroused Snape's dissatisfaction, and Lockhart probably felt the murderous intent, and stopped his mouth that was constantly moving.

"This is the end of the demonstration! Now I will come among you and divide you into groups of two. Professor Snape, if you will help me..."

Snape walked directly in front of Igil, his eyes were searching in the lion cub, as if he was looking for a suitable opponent for the outstanding student of Slytherin.

"Professor Snape, can I—" Hermione jumped up and down on tiptoe, raising her hands high.

"No, no—Miss Granger, you can be paired with Miss Bulstrode." Millicent Bulstrode, who had always served as Queen Pansy's foil, puffed out her chest, and Hermione was disappointed when she saw this thick and ugly girl exhaled.

Professor Snape looked around Gryffindor, and finally fell on Harry Potter. "Potter! Come here," said Snape, with a icy smile on his face, his eyes resting on Igil. "Blake," he said, "let's see if you can make the famous Bo What kind of person does it make?" (This combination is definitely the professor's resentment)

"Then I'll choose the youngest son of the Weasleys, Professor Snape." Draco glanced at the lions, his eyes shifted from the cowering Longbottom to Ron's aggrieved face.

"Ellie Windsor, then I can only choose you," Pansy pointed at the beautiful red-haired girl with a fan and said dismissively, "I have always wanted you to recognize the distance between us."

"It's time to start, everyone—" Snape's words made Ellie swallow the rebuttal that was about to blurt out.

"Professor Snape..."

Pansy picked Ellie's chin with her fan, and said, "Your opponent is me, Miss Windsor, if you don't pay attention to the duel—" you will die ugly!

Ellie Windsor jumped back suddenly, and Pan Xi also tensed up, and they quickly pulled the distance away, full of gunpowder.

"Black, I've been looking forward to the contest with you..." Harry walked past Igil and stood at the position Lockhart pointed to.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart yelled back on stage, "Bow!"

Igil and Harry barely nodded, they stared at each other intently.After confirming his opponent's thoughts, Igil showed a faint smile. This kid is serious.

Yigil's dark eyes were stained with a hint of red—you can fight if you want to fight, I only hope that Harry, your strength can match your stubbornness, and an existence that is too weak will not be recognized by me.Especially you who defeated my father's Horcrux...

"Raise your wand and get ready!" Lockhart exclaimed. "When I count to three, I'll cast a spell to disarm—just disarm—we don't want an accident. One—two— three--"

"Except for weapons!" As soon as Professor Lockhart's voice fell, the little wizards launched their own attacks. Igil dodged Harry's attack sideways, and the blue-eyed boy opposite was hit by his disarming spell, but his arm Just a shake, the wand was still firmly in his hand.

"There are many obstacles." Igil immediately cast the next spell, and an invisible barrier appeared in front of Harry.

"The spell stops!" Harry shouted, and the "obstacles" were easily broken.At the same time, Igil felt a spell hit on the iron armor spell he opened.

This invisible armor bounced the spell back. Igil was surprised that the opponent used a silent spell. Harry Potter was stronger than he imagined, but unfortunately the silent spell was not his patent. Igil stepped into this battle At the beginning of the circle, the "armor protection" has been quietly cast on the body.

Harry was hit by the bounced spell, he didn't react badly, and kept his mouth shut as a ray of light shot from the tip of his wand.

Yigil guessed that the reason why he didn't recite the mantra was not because of the concealment of the silent mantra, but because he was hit by the "Lock Tongue Sealing Throat" that bounced back—a spell that makes people unable to speak.

On the ring, Ellie was hit by Pansy's "Tarantella Dance", her legs twitched uncontrollably, Hermione was caught in the head by Millicent, and she screamed softly in pain, Ron called out Panting and laughing so limply that he couldn't move, he hit Draco's "grin-hu-la-la".

"I said, it's just disarming you!" Lockhart yelled to the fierce fighting crowd in Taishan in horror. No one noticed the wonderful match between Igil and Harry, and the ring was too chaotic.

"Let loose!" Igil uttered a spell, and a light came out from his wand, which was easily dodged by Harry.

At the same time, Harry's wand flew out, his eyes widened in surprise, and he felt that he had been hit by the Disarming Charm.

"It's over, Harry Potter!" Igil held up his wand and walked in front of him. Not only did the blue-eyed boy lose his wand, but the impact of the spell forced him back a few steps and knocked him to the ground. "If you can spend that little time on breaking the curse, you can still fight now." Igil said regretfully, although offense is the best defense, and Harry's silent spell is also very good, but the wizard's language is confusing Sex is the magic weapon that lasts forever.

"..." The boy who fell on the ground laughed silently, his eyes were still so unwilling and stubborn, a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes, Igil took a step back vigilantly, but it was still too late...

The blue-eyed boy hugged Igil's legs vigorously, and pulled them into his arms violently. Igil fell face-up and fell heavily to the ground. Harry Potter rushed towards him, holding Igil tightly. Tightly suppressed under his body.

It was obvious that Harry wanted to grab his wand.Igil frowned deeply. This damned Gryffindor did not abide by the basic etiquette of a duel at all, and used force brutally, but there is no time to care about it now, and Harry's hand is about to touch his wand , Igil had to straighten his arm as far as possible, and at the same time push the Savior with the other hand, separating the wand far away from Harry. Unintentional.

"Fuchsia!" Igil uttered the spell, this time it was wandless magic, the savior was hung upside down in the air, and Igil stood up holding the wand, and patted the dust on his body gracefully.

He could have used softer spells like Levitate, but Harry Potter's behavior pissed him off. "You embarrass us both, Harry Potter." Igil said angrily, and Professor Snape, who was in the distance, laughed silently when he saw the scene here.

How nice, a Black to use a fuchsia on a Potter, just like they did when they partnered to bully him.

He had promised Dumbledore to protect Lily's child, but he was very happy to see others use such a trick to deal with Harry, who also had the blood of James Potter, in a duel.

"Stop! Stop!" screamed Lockhart.

"Stop the spell!" Snape yelled, and Harry fell through the air, Ron stopped laughing, and Ellie's feet stopped dancing.

A puff of green smoke filled the entire venue.Some of the little wizards were lying on the floor panting, some had already thrown their wands and wrestled together, and some stood aside victoriously.

"Don't be angry, Blake, look at how everyone is doing." Harry smiled friendly, "No one pays attention to us." Wandless magic, he forced Igil to make a move, and Harry Potter was very satisfied He can do wandless magic, but Tom has taught him not to let others see how much strength he has hidden until the critical moment.

"My God, my God," said Lockhart, bouncing around in the crowd, watching the aftermath of the duel, "you stand up, Ernie... look out, Miss Fawcett... squeeze hard, blood It'll stop right away, Bout..."

"I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic." Lockhart said, standing in the middle of the auditorium with a panicked expression.He glanced at Snape, saw Snape's black eyes gleaming coldly, and looked away immediately. "Volunteer a couple, please—Longbottom and Finlayly, how are you?"

"That's a bad idea, Professor Lockhart," said Snape, on the grounds that Longbottom could wreak havoc with the simplest of spells.He scanned the crowd and fixed his eyes on Harry Potter, "Potter and—" Draco blinked at him vigorously, and stepped forward impatiently, "Potter and Mal How is Fu?"

"Wonderful!" Of course Lockhart would not object, he motioned for the two little wizards to come to the center of the auditorium, and the people stepped back to make room for them.

Lockhart babbled another long piece of nonsense, telling them how to point your wand at your opponent, and he raised his wand and waved it left and right, trying to conjure complex tricks, and accidentally dropped it on the ground.Snape chuckled and sneered, and Lockhart hurriedly picked up his wand and said, "Oops - I'm a little overexcited about my spells."

"I saw it just now, Potter," Draco said in a low voice, out of Lockhart's ear. "You will pay for your faux pas."

"We were dueling, Malfoy," Harry said from the corner of his mouth. "Black didn't say anything, so what reason do you have to blame me?"

"Stop talking, let's fight! Harry."

They distanced themselves and held their wands in a standard dueling stance. Although this was completely redundant in actual combat, friendly matches between wizards enjoyed this trick very much.

"Three-two-one-start!" Following Lockhart's shout, Draco quickly raised his wand and roared: "Oolong out of the hole!"

Smoke burst from the tip of his wand, and a long black snake sprang out of it, landing heavily on the floor between them, then raised its head, ready to strike.Screaming, the little wizards quickly backed away to make way for an open space.

"Don't move, Potter," said Snape lazily, enjoying the sight of Harry and the snake staring at each other. "I'll get him away..."

A single "Curse Standing" could make the black snake disappear, but Harry didn't do that. It was different from the melee just now, so many pairs of eyes were looking at him, and he used a spell that didn't belong to this age. no good.

"Let me come!" Lockhart yelled, he raised his wand, and with a loud bang, the snake not only didn't disappear, but jumped more than a foot high.

on purpose!Harry's eyes tightened, the handsome blond made trouble for him from time to time for fun...

The black snake slumped back to the floor, furious, hissing and spitting out a message, and swam straight for Justin Fenriely, the little Hufflepuff wizard turning pale with fright.let him go!Harry stopped.

"Hiss..." The terrible snake language came from the mouth of the savior Harry Potter, and the expressions of the wizards changed.

Relieved that the snake was hovering on the ground without attacking, Harry smiled at Justin.

"What trick do you think you're playing?" Justin yelled angrily and terrified, and he turned and rushed out of the auditorium, leaving Harry standing there in astonishment, the smile on his face not yet able to retract.

Igil raised his eyebrows, the green-eyed little wizard didn't understand what happened, did he?He saved the Hufflepuff, but others misunderstood him. Only Igil understood what he said: "Let him go!" But in the eyes of others, Harry Potter's cold snake language was more like Commanding the snake to attack.

Harry's Parseltongue is not natural, Tom's father told him, it's just a little side effect left by the savior's black magic to defeat Soul Piece. (Tom is afraid that Igil is worried and not telling the truth)

So he couldn't tell when he was speaking English and when he was speaking Parseltongue. (The fragments in Harry's mind have also been kept from Harry, lest he suspect that this couple is really...)

Professor Snape stepped forward, waved his wand, and the snake disappeared in a plume of black smoke.He looked at Harry unexpectedly, thoughtful.All around the crowd were whispering.

"Let's go, let's go - let's go..." Ron tugged at the back of the Savior's clothes and led him out of the auditorium. Hermione and Ellie hurried beside them.As they went out, people stepped back to either side.

"Harry Potter is a snake tongue?" Pansy fanned her little lace fan with gold thread, and analyzed: "Potter used to be considered a big family, but I haven't heard of marrying a Slytherin. , is there any family secret in it?"

"The Potter family is dead except for Harry, and there is nothing to dig out, Pansy." Draco said, "I'm curious, is he the heir who opened the Chamber of Secrets? Probably many people have this now." Think about it."

"Harry Potter is suspicious, but not him, Draco. Slytherins aren't the only ones who can speak Parseltongue, but Slytherin's Parseltongues are the most famous."

It seems that Tom's father has concealed some things from him. The duel just now, the blue-eyed savior was beyond his expectation, genius?Igil didn't believe that the posture when chanting a spell would not be able to achieve the best effect without guidance. Harry Potter's posture was very standard, and Igil suspected that someone was secretly guiding him.

"So sure, Igil, what do you know?" Draco asked.

"If he was really the heir of Slytherin, he wouldn't go to Gryffindor, let alone expose the snake tongue now." Igil felt awkward when he said this, but he still expressed his opinion , The brains of these little snakes that were spared made a few more bends and knotted.

"The person who opens the secret room is not so easy to find—"
