Overturning Hogwarts

Chapter 57 Neville’s family magic

Neville stood behind a castle-shaped chess piece and said enthusiastically: "Nicholas, I want to replace this castle. I need you to help me replace a chess piece, just the black knight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chess pieces of the castle and the black knight started to move and walked out of the chess board.

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet! That black knight, come back!" Zhang Rui shouted.

"Nicholas, what do you mean?" Neville was confused.

"Black Knight, come back quickly. I won't participate in this game. Why did you leave without waiting for me to say anything? This doesn't count!" Zhang Rui babbled in front of the Black Knight, and even wanted to push him back onto the chessboard.

But the black knight didn't move. Maybe the rule is that if the chess piece leaves the chessboard, it can't go back.

"There is nothing we can do now. You are missing a chess piece. Who asked you to make the decision for me? Why don't you give up?" Zhang Rui said to Neville.

"It's true that I didn't ask you, but aren't we friends?" Neville asked doubtfully.

"Friends are friends, but you still have to have at least respect. And the chess piece on the opposite side will hit you. This is terrible. My small body really can't stand being hit."

Zhang Ruike had seen Ron's wizard chess game, which was extremely cruel. Once a chess piece was eaten, it was smashed to pieces by another chess piece and then dragged outside the chessboard.

Looking at the appearance of the white chess piece on the opposite side, one knew that one hit would cause him to faint without death. Zhang Rui didn't want to suffer this fate. After all, he was not like a chess piece, which could be repaired by just "returning to the original state".

Moreover, there was clearly no shortage of chess pieces, both sides were the same, but Neville didn't know what he was thinking, insisting that he replace a chess piece.

Neville gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I can still play without one chess piece."

Zhang Rui shrugged his shoulders without any embarrassment and just stayed aside and watched.

Neville also began to direct Black to play seriously.

Whenever the black chess piece is captured by the white chess piece, the white chess piece will pick up the stone arm or the weapon in the hand, knock the black chess piece to the ground, drag it out of the chessboard and throw it outside... while the black chess piece captures the white chess piece. time, but it was just White who left on his own.

Obviously Professor McGonagall was lazy and did not use the offensive magic on the black chess piece like the white chess piece. After all, the black chess piece here also has more than a dozen chess pieces, and it would take a long time or even a lot of magic to cast magic one by one.

Zhang Rui felt very disappointed because he remembered a TV series "Chess Samurai" that had not yet been filmed. In it, samurai were used instead of chess pieces. If you want to capture the opponent, you have to fight with two chess pieces first. Whoever wins will stay... ...This is exciting enough.

……

Neville was probably really good at playing Wizard's Chess. With one piece missing, he captured one white piece after another, and finally won the game and captured the white king.

The white king placed the crown on the ground and made a way to the door behind him.

"I won, I won, Nicholas, let's get there quickly!" Neville turned back to look for his partner.

"You should come here quickly! I've been waiting here for a long time."

Zhang Rui's voice came from the other side. He was standing in front of the door looking at Neville.

"When did you? No, how did you get there?" Neville asked with an incredulous expression.

"While you were playing chess, I rode a broomstick and came over the chess pieces." Zhang Rui spread his hands and said casually, "It's impossible for chess pieces made of stone to fly, right?"

In fact, he first used the levitating spell to direct a stone to fly over, and after observing that the white chess didn't react, he carefully flew over on his broomstick.

"This, this... why didn't you tell me earlier!" Neville said with a wry smile. He was wasted for half a day. He was just happy about the victory, but it turned out that someone else had a better way.

"Because there is only one broomstick, which I threw here before. When I wanted to throw the second one, you pulled me in."

Neville recalled that the other party seemed to be playing with the lights in the room, and it seemed that he really threw something in. It was still dark at the time, so he didn't see it clearly and thought he was playing...

"Actually, one broomstick can carry two people." Neville said.

"Oh, really? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Zhang Rui looked like he just knew it.

How could I ride the same stick as a man? This is Zhang Rui's inner thoughts.

"Forget it, that's it anyway, let me know if you have any good ideas next time." Neville shook his head helplessly and walked towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, a stench hit my face.

"It stinks!" Zhang Rui covered his nose and took two steps back. "Isn't it possible that someone released poison gas to kill the intruder?"

"No, it's a troll!" Neville said, covering his nose.

"Close the door quickly, we can't deal with the trolls."

Trolls are rough-skinned, thick-skinned, extremely powerful, and have good magic resistance. Most adult wizards are no match for them. So when he heard that a troll broke in on Halloween, Dumbledore immediately asked the students to return to their dormitories. Professor McGonagall saw It was so shocking that several first-year students were not injured when they faced the troll.

Of course, it also depends on the person. Hagrid once said that when he was in school at Hogwarts, he would go to the Forbidden Forest to fight with trolls...

"No, we're already here. I can't give up. Nicholas, what can you do?" Neville asked.

"What can I do? I am a fortune teller, do you still expect me to fight the giant monster?" Zhang Rui said confidently.

The previous Halloween troll was afraid that other little wizards would follow suit and challenge the troll, so a silence order was issued. Except for a few teachers and four students at the time, no outsiders should know about it.

The so-called Zhang Rui probably didn't know whether Harry and the others had told anyone, and even the teachers didn't necessarily know how to keep it secret.

"Then let me do it." Neville gritted his teeth, "We are already here. I must not let Snape succeed. Just stay here."

"Then be careful."

Neville charged at the troll like a warrior.

Zhang Rui was observing from behind. This giant monster was bigger than the one he met last time, so he really couldn't deal with it with his last method.

Fortunately, he didn't need to take action.

Neville also showed amazing fighting talent. Although he was only using the basic magic spells learned in the first grade, he used them very well, making the giant roar again and again, but he couldn't catch him.

Zhang Rui couldn't stay idle all the time. He saw the opportunity, waved his magic wand, and cast a levitating spell. The stones left behind after the black chess piece shattered were thrown towards the troll.

"Neville, get out of the way!"

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?"

Originally, the stone was thrown at the giant monster, but Neville kept circling around the giant monster and used his flexible steps to deal with the giant monster. Somehow, it was such a coincidence that the stone hit the giant monster and was bounced away. The ground blocked Neville's path.

What's more serious is that the troll hit him with a stick, and Neville had no time to dodge, so he had to turn aside and catch the blow with his right arm.

"Oh!"

Neville was knocked out and rolled several times on the ground, even vomiting blood.

"Neville, Neville, are you okay?" Zhang Rui shouted anxiously.

"Cough, cough," Neville quickly sat up, "Not dead yet, but not much better."

"We'd better go back and find a doctor to look at you quickly."

"No, we're here now, we can't give up." Neville sat on the ground, "I have a magic trick inherited from my family, but after I use it, I have no strength. I can only rely on you in the future. I must find the magic stone. .”

Without waiting for Zhang Rui's answer, Neville held the wand in his left hand and emitted a light so intense that it made people unable to open their eyes. There was only a "bang" in his ears, and the troll fell to the ground.

"Is this the heritage of the wizard family?" Zhang Rui exclaimed, "Even magical creatures like trolls can be eliminated with one move. No wonder a pure-blood family has such a high sense of superiority!"
