The new Hogwarts wizard dueling arena was built by Rick based on the Roman Colosseum, but it is not exactly the same.

Viewed from a high altitude, the surrounding walls form a perfect circle, and the arched dome is "nailed" to this circle by four towering towers.

Above each tower hangs the emblems symbolizing the four houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuff.Below are the entrance gates and corridors for different colleges.

Entering the duel arena along the corridor, you will find a circle of five-story stepped auditoriums on the left and right, and the empty area in the center of the front is the core area of ​​the entire duel arena, the wizard duel venue.

This place is about half the size of a Quidditch pitch. Its surface is covered with thick fine sand, which is used to prevent little wizards from falling and hurting their bodies during duels and acts as a buffer.

Sitting in the audience, you can see that the entire venue is divided into nine small areas with white paint, and each small area is an independent duel ring.The duel ring in the center is half a meter higher than all the rings.

This special arena was deliberately created by Rick. He wanted to use this arena as an exhibition venue. In addition to the professors' exhibition matches, young wizards with superb dueling skills could also use it.

But the prerequisite is that these little wizards can successfully advance from the eight surrounding arenas.

……

Under the white canvas dome, Rick Graves on the presiding stage saw that the referee of this wizard duel, Minerva McGonagall, had come to his side. He reached behind his waist with one hand, held up the microphone with the other, and leaned slightly bow.

His movements are elegant and graceful, making people think that he is a nobleman who has traveled through the Middle Ages.

After Professor McGonagall took the microphone from his hand, he nodded with a smile and walked towards the special ring in the center of the duel field below.

'Pretending!Specious! '

Snape, who was sitting next to Dumbledore, witnessed the whole process of Rick's coquettishness. He did not expect that this barbarian from the United States could actually learn to show off his etiquette.

Feeling dissatisfied with Rick, he stood up and neatly arranged the black robe on his body with his hands.

After nodding politely with Dumbledore, he walked straight towards the center of the duel.

Snape's face was stern, and he seemed to keep away from strangers, causing the little wizards on both sides of the stairs he passed to instinctively lean to the other side.

It was like an invisible force surrounding Snape, crowding out "those who were close to him".

……

"Wow! Professor Graves looked really handsome just now!!!"

"Yes! Yes! I don't know if the professor is married?"

"You charming little fox, what are you thinking about?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? Professor Graves is handsome, young, and has his own career. The most important thing is that he is a pure-blood wizard!"

"If someone is so outstanding, would he fall in love with a charming fox like you?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm only 16 years old, in my prime. And Professor Graves is only 23 years old. I think..."

"..."

Sitting on the edge of Gryffindor, Hermione could not help but feel a chill in her heart when she heard the conversation of the group of senior witches and wizards behind her.

Holding back the surging gastric juices, she raised her hands to cover her ears.

A group of idiot girls are actually discussing how to become the professor's girlfriend.

Hehe, what a dream come true.

After mentally sarcastic about the group of senior Ravenclaw witches and wizards behind her, Hermione quickly turned her attention to the center of the duel field.

……

"Ron, why aren't you surprised at all?"

"What am I surprised?"

"Such an exotic dueling venue has never appeared here before. Look at the towering stone pillars, the arched door carved with magical animals, and the soft and comfortable seats..."

"Oh, pretty good."

"The calm look on your face makes me feel like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

Seamus looked at Ron in confusion. This Ron who seemed to have seen big events was not the Ron he knew. Seamus recalled how Ron shrank in embarrassment when he first entered the first grade. Can't help but be a little surprised.

"It's okay, there are many country bumpkins like you."

"..."

Being scolded by Ron, Seamus didn't know what to say, so he had to turn his attention to Neville in front of him.

Ron glanced at Simo and the others expressionlessly and did not speak again. After seeing that several people were still discussing this exotic building, in order not to expose his sense of superiority, he turned his attention to the central arena.

'I personally affixed the cushions you made, and I also affixed the warnings on the stone pillars.I know this place better than you, but I just won’t tell you.Look at your surprised expressions, it’s so funny! '

If it were Ron in the past, he would definitely have an argument with Seamus.But after becoming Rick's temporary worker, he, who was originally honest and somewhat inferior, gradually changed.

Whether this change is good or bad will take time to verify.

But the only thing that's certain is that Ron doesn't seem to feel inferior anymore.

……

On the central stage of the duel arena, Rick played with the wand in his hand and looked at Snape walking onto the stage. He was so excited that he could not control his facial expression.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, a long time, almost a few weeks.

"Professor Snape, thank you so much. If you hadn't kindly promised me, I wouldn't have known who I would have asked to compete with me in this exhibition match."

Today, you can have a wizard duel with Severus Snape, the Potions Professor of Hogwarts, a former Death Eater, the protagonist of Infernal Affairs in the wizarding world, and the infatuated male lead in the love story.

This is what Rick Graves, who is a secret Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, is looking forward to after arriving at Hogwarts.

Gilderoy Lockhart in his memory can invite Snape to be his assistant and perform wizard duels with him.

So Rick believed that Snape was the kind of person with a cold appearance and a temperament that would put others at a distance.But in reality, he is the kind of warm-hearted man with a gentle and delicate heart who is not very good at rejecting other people's requests.

"Graves, although you have strong swordsmanship, this is a wizard's duel, a duel where only wands are allowed. Be careful, don't be defeated by me with just one move."

Faced with Rick's enthusiasm, Snape seemed very calm.He used a deep voice with a hint of magnetism to remind Rick not to underestimate him.

"Thanks for the reminder, Professor Snape, but... In addition to my good swordsmanship, I am also very accomplished in the use of magic..."

Rick wanted to say something more to Snape, but Professor McGonagall's voice came from all directions, interrupting his words.

"Severus, Rick. Please raise your wands and perform duel etiquette on each other."

Following the rules and etiquette of ancient wizard duels, as soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the two bowed slightly to each other.
