Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"Martin, it seems you haven't mentioned your family to us yet." Stephen and Martin were walking together. He looked at Martin and asked, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'm just curious."

Martin turned his head and glanced at Stephen, "It's nothing to mention. I grew up in an orphanage."

Stephen was stunned for a moment, this was completely different from his guess, "Then how did you do it... emmm, move so fast?"

"If you have been bullied by a group of people since you were a child, I believe you can do it, especially after you have magic power." Martin said nonchalantly, as if the person being bullied was not him when he was a child.

"That's it." Stephen nodded, with some sympathy on his face.

The two planned to continue walking, but Merula and her followers stopped them in front of them, "Hey, Stephen, are you ready?"

Stephen looked at Merula confused, "What are you ready for?"

"Of course it's a wizard duel." Merula said with a strong sense of ridicule in her tone, "Didn't you even find an assistant?"

Stephen looked at Merula. He thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to teach her a lesson. "Are you sure you want to have a duel?"

"I keep my word." Merula looked at Stephen, her eyes full of provocation.

Stephen nodded, "Okay, then where will we have the duel?"

"Needless to say, of course it's in the Duel Club. I've already talked to Professor Case and he agreed that we can use it for practice." Merula looked at her followers, "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is My assistant Cathy.”

Kathy is taller than Stephen and Martin, and her figure is relatively burly. She looks much larger than Stephen. Her eyes are menacing, and Stephen can still feel a hint of danger from her body.

Stephen and Martin looked at each other, and Martin nodded, indicating that he could be his assistant.

The two followed Merula and the others back to the Duel Club classroom. Professor Flitwick had left, but Professor Case was still there.

"You should all know duel etiquette," Professor Keyes asked after seeing them walking in.

Merula and Casey nodded, while Stephen and Martin shook their heads quickly.

"Oh, okay." Professor Case said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I think we should keep it simple, just bow to each other, stand in position and listen to my instructions, and then we can start."

Merula and Stephen walked to the middle of the classroom and pulled away. Stephen and Merula bowed to each other. This kind of thing made Stephen feel weird, and Merula also had a look of disgust after she straightened up.

"Get ready." Professor Keyes watched the two of them take up their positions, "Let's get started."

"Armor Protection" and "Leek Growth" both of them waved their wands at the same time. Merula adhered to the traditional fighting method and first put the armor spell on herself, while Stephen decided to take the initiative by relying on his own movement.

The advantage of the Tricky Curse is that it is fast to cast. The time it takes to cast an Armor Curse is enough for Stephen to quickly distance himself after using the Leek Curse. Stephen's magic spell hit the armor charm and made a crisp sound.

"Nonsense" and "Three feet away from the enemy" the two magic spells collided.

"Clear water like a spring" Stephen used the trick he used in the last training, but this time it was a large water bomb.

"Humph, it's just a little trick." Merula sneered, "The flames are blazing."

Professor Keyes looked at Merula. He thought it was strange. This was a magic that should only be taught after the third grade, and the flames Merula cast looked a little strange.

"Grinning!" Stephen saw that the flame was about to touch his water bomb, so he simply chose to detonate it directly.

I don’t know why, but Professor Keyes’ expression became a little exciting. Martin and Casey stood on the edge of the classroom and observed the fight.

Although it was only the first time for Stephen to use this unique method, he still succeeded in making the water bomb explode with laughter. I don’t know how Jacob invented this method...

The water bomb exploded and evaporated quickly after contacting the flames, forming a small cloud of mist in front of Merula.

"Quick cooling." Stephen turned the water mist into small ice beads, and then waved his wand forward. The ice beads continued to grow larger and thicker, forming icicles that flew towards Merula at a very fast speed.

The armor spell couldn't block the attack in the physical form, so Merula had no choice but to dodge sideways and point the wand at Stephen, "God's Blade is Shadowless"

"Hell." Stephen rolled over quickly and barely avoided the attack of the wind blade, but his back was scratched by the wind blade.

Stephen's expression became serious. He didn't expect that Merula could use Snape's trick. I'm afraid Snape himself knew how many people he had "taught".

"How easy is it to learn this spell? First-year Merula knows how to do it..." Stephen secretly complained.

Professor Keyes glanced at Merula thoughtfully, with a somewhat searching look in his eyes, but he did not tell them to stop.

"Shadowless Blade" Merula did not stop attacking. Stephen rolled repeatedly to avoid the wind blade. Although the magic spell itself was very fast, fortunately Merula was only a first-year student and could still Within Stephen's response.

But after avoiding two in a row, Stephen was a little out of breath. The pressure was really too much for him.

"The Shadowless Edge of God." Merula used the Shadowless Edge of God spell for the third time, and Stephen felt that her movements seemed a little delayed.

"There is a chance." Stephen decisively used the wand to use the disarming spell on Merula, and then quickly added a barrier spell under his feet to bounce himself away.

The wind blade hit where he had just been, and the red light hit Merula's arm, knocking her wand away, and the wand flew towards Professor Case.

Professor Keyes grabbed her wand and looked at it, "Laurel wood, a good material for the wand body. Judging from the power of those spells just now, I think the core of the wand should be phoenix feathers. But the length of fourteen inches may make Si Miss Ned is not very flexible with her spells."

Professor Keyes walked over and returned the wand to Merula. He smiled and said, "I think Mr. Tony won this so-called duel. I believe Miss Snyder has no objection."

Merula's face was a little unsatisfied, but she still nodded reluctantly, "If you lose, you lose. I have no objection."

Professor Keyes walked next to Stephen again. Martin had just helped him up. Professor Keyes looked at Stephen's back, took out some white essence from the bag and sprinkled it on it.

"I think it would be best for Miss Snyder not to use this kind of curse easily in the future. If there is no counter-curse, I think the British Ministry of Magic would not mind classifying it as dark magic."

"Professor Case, what do you mean?" Merula looked a little confused.

"Literally." Professor Keyes glanced at Merula, "I don't care how you learned this spell, but I suggest you explain it to your acting dean, Professor Snape."

Merula nodded cautiously, realizing that the situation might be serious.

Professor Case checked Stephen's wound again and patted his shoulder after confirming that the wound was almost healed. Stephen felt that his back was not so painful anymore.

"If you use Bai Xian in time to heal the damage caused by this spell, you can barely heal it. I also applied some healing spells to you, so there shouldn't be any problem. But I think you still need to have a good night's rest. "

"Thank you, Professor Case." Stephen was helped out of the classroom by Martin, while Merula was dejectedly preparing to go to Snape's office.
