The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"Now, start sparring"!

Dumbledore handed the glass of wine to Lockhart and spoke loudly to the students.

"We all use the academy as our camp, but remember, friendship comes first, competition comes second"!

"Then the game begins"!

Following Dumbledore's order, the huge platform instantly split in half from the middle, and then new guardrails rose up from the cracks in the two sub-platforms.

"Then each college will enter"!

The first group, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff.

A third-year girl named Penello appeared in Ravenclaw. She was in the same grade as Zhang Qi. The two of them could be considered best friends. After Cedric's accident, Penello did a lot to appease Zhang Qi's cousin. contribute.

In Hufflepuff, Truman, the fifth-year prefect, is a very strong but friendly boy who has a good relationship with Cedric.

"The duel begins"!

As the two men stood together in the ring, Lockhart shouted excitedly in his proud voice.

"Expelliarmus"!

"Fainted"!

The two people used a restrictive spell at the same time, and a red light and a yellow light suddenly collided.

A few drops of sparkling liquid like plasma splashed onto the ground after the impact of the magic spell, leaving scorched black marks on the sand with a sizzling sound.

The two of them were just testing the waters and had no real intentions, so naturally they couldn't be as spectacular as Lockhart and Snape.

Of course, even if these two students tried their best to release the curse, they would not be able to achieve such a spectacular performance.

However, everyone present did not understand that Lockhart's brilliance was like an epiphyllum that appeared in the night - he gave his life in exchange for people's admiration, but it was only a moment of admiration.

Because epiphyllums always refuse to quietly accept their withering fate, but try their best to keep their beauty forever, so their best ending is to rot on the rattan, giving people a disgusting beauty.

Lockhart's time was running out.

"Quick confinement"!

With Penello's soft drink, a strong rope flew out from the tip of the wand in her hand, tying Truman to the railings of the dueling platform.

"Ah, beautiful confinement spell! Although it's still a little worse than me, it doesn't matter, it's already great."

Lockhart shouted happily.

"Then I declare that Ravenclaw wins this game"!

Dumbledore waved his wand gently, and the chains wrapped around Truman immediately fell to the ground. Then the Hufflepuff badgers swarmed up and helped Truman down.

"Then maybe it's time for our second game, it's Gryffindor vs. Slytherin time"!

Lockhart shouted loudly.

"Now, please ask Gryffindor and Slytherin to elect representatives of their own houses"!

At this moment, Zhang Qi, who was dragging his roommate quietly towards the stairs, felt regretful.

"It's broken. If I had known earlier, I would have acted faster!"

Sure enough, an excited Draco immediately came over and put his hand on Zhang Qi's shoulder.

"Come on Hilbert, you are recognized as the number one in our Slytherin House, and you definitely deserve it"!

The Slytherin students present also came over.

"Yes, only you can ensure that Slytherin's honor is not destroyed on the duel stage, so go quickly, we believe you can do it"!

Several freshmen nodded their heads after hearing this.

"Then I will be disrespectful"...

Zhang Qi's tone was smiling, but he was cursing secretly in his heart.

"Damn it, why didn't you walk faster?"

Zhang Qi cursed secretly in his heart.

But now that things have come to this, we have to do this.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi put a smile on his face, and then walked towards the duel stage as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, the representative of Slytherin is Mr. Hilbert, so who will Gryffindor send?"

Gilderoy Lockhart's face had turned an abnormal flush.

That's the color that appears when you're extremely excited.

"Oh my God, they actually let Hilbert play, this is cheating"!

Ron, who was mixed in with the Gryffindor crowd, shouted in disbelief.

"But, this is indeed in line with the rules. Hilbert is a member of Slytherin. It is indeed in line with the rules to let him play."

Hermione said sadly.

"He is indeed a member of Slytherin, so we can only choose a member of Gryffindor"...

A member of Gryffindor?

An idea seemed to pop out of Hermione's unique genius mind, giving her a feeling of enlightenment.

A member of Gryffindor!I see!

"I have something to ask Professor McGonagall. You two should wait here for now. Please help me read the book!"

After saying that, Hermione threw the spell book she was reading just now into Harry's arms, and then ran in the direction of Professor McGonagall.

"She's always been so weird, hasn't she?"

Ron said to Harry helplessly.

"really".

Harry nodded in agreement.

------------

Zhang Qi had no choice but to step onto the duel stage under the spotlight and smiled helplessly at the audience below.

There is no way, he actually doesn’t want to come up!

"By the way, who is Gryffindor going to send here to die? Platinum or the twins?"

Zhang Qi kept guessing in his heart.

Until a person was slowly walking towards here from a distance.

Zhang Qi raised his head, saw his opponent's face, and was stunned.

"Professor McGonagall"?

Zhang Qi said with some surprise.

"So can professors still duel with students?"

Zhang Qi asked slightly confused.

"Tonight's game is a competition between colleges, so as long as you are a member of the college, you can naturally participate."

Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, then raised her wand.

"Can we start now? Hilbert-san"?

"Ah, of course, Professor McGonagall."

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Qi also raised his wand.

"Oh, what did I see? Professor McGonagall actually appeared in person. It seems that the Gryffindor students have realized the seriousness of the problem"!

Lockhart shouted loudly from the commentary platform!

"The duel between the most powerful professor and the most powerful student! I think this must be the most exciting show"!

"So you two, are you ready?"

"certainly"!

Professor McGonagall said loudly.

"What about Hilbert? Are you ready to compete with the professor?"

Lockhart shouted happily.

"certainly"!

Zhang Qi said with a smile.
