Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

The trophy collection room was filled with light and dark, and red and green sparks collided fiercely, illuminating the tense faces of the two duelists and casting a ray of light into the corridor outside the door.

Harry and Draco were duking it out with all their might, holding cold light fireworks.As assistants, Ron and Crabbe were waving and cheering on both sides through the sparks. It was obviously not convenient to shout cheers at the moment.

That's right, since the start of the duel, the intensity of the duel has remained at the level of shooting sparks with wands, and the two of them haven't even been able to cast a curse.

It's not that the two of them together can't even cast a curse, but it's a matter of rhythm.

Due to Jerry's panicked persuasion regarding the spellcasting accident, the two of them unanimously chose to use the simple magic of Spark Spell as the starting point of the duel, and then naturally entered the shooting session.

Draco and Harry held the 'firework sticks' while shooting and dodging. They were so happy that they almost forgot that they knew other spells.

Jerry, who was serving as the referee, felt quite embarrassed as he watched both sides playing with fireworks. He almost wanted to give Draco a red card and declare the game over.

Draco did get the first move during the count anyway.It was an obvious foul, even though Jerry didn't have a camera ready.

'But that will have to wait. Jerry, who was watching the show on the side, raised his lips slightly and said, "There are still two audience members who are not here, so we can't end it too soon." '

No, there's only one left now.

The little spider placed in the corner of the corridor sent back a message. A thin, dark gray cat came in from the entrance of the corridor and was pacing left and right outside the south entrance of the prize collection room.

There is no doubt that it is the pet cat of the castle administrator Argus Filch, a cat named Lady Norris.

With the help of the dim vision provided by the group of little spiders, Jerry, whose enthusiasm for the duel dropped significantly, was distracted and observed the cat's movements, secretly hoping that it would call Filch quickly - facing the castle administrator, violating school rules, Everyone present at the private night outing will definitely choose to run away, and then he can lead people to 'accidentally' enter the corridor on the fourth floor in a reasonable way.

Although Jerry does not intend to follow the original plot completely, he does not object to carrying out righteous group beatings against his enemies.

Considering the love protection left by his mother on Harry and the mocking effect of the nickname 'The Dark Lord's Nemesis', it is obviously a good idea to guide the 'Boy Who Lived' to fight against Voldemort - first let 'Friend' was in the front taunting and attracting monsters, while Jerry was in the back row calmly suppressing the enemy's output.

In this case, Jerry took this opportunity to lure Harry to the corridor on the fourth floor and get him involved in the dispute over the Sorcerer's Stone.

Based on what she saw and heard day and night during this period, for a cat, Mrs. Norris's intelligence was somewhat ridiculously high.It was even smart enough to know how to report student violations to its owner Filch, leading Filch to arrest one disciplinary student after another.

Jerry didn't quite know how this cat understood the rules of Hogwarts. It might be that it had the blood of a catnive, or it might just be the result of being in the castle for a long time.

But this did not prevent Jerry from taking advantage of the other party's behavior, just as he expected: Mrs. Norris lingered outside the door for a short while, and after confirming that there was really someone in the house, she turned around and ran back quickly.

While the thin cat was galloping away in the corridors, something unexpected happened in the prize collection room.

After a fierce exchange of sparks, the two duelists finally remembered that they knew other magic spells, and one after another showed their true skills.

In order to avoid the red sparks heading straight for his chest and abdomen, Draco took several steps back, and suddenly found that he had unintentionally distanced himself from Harry.

After a brief hesitation, Draco finally reacted, stretching his left arm forward and raising his right hand back, as if he was about to go to war.

"Harry, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Ron hurriedly shouted to his friends to take more precautions. For a moment, he forgot that it was midnight and the guys had sneaked out to duel privately.

Harry's reaction speed was so fast that he realized something was wrong before his assistant warned him. He quickly searched for spells in his memory and prepared to deal with the upcoming onslaught from his opponent.

Then there was silence, a wordless silence.

Although the sparks were extinguished at this moment, there was still moonlight shining into the room, and with the light they provided, Jerry could clearly see that Draco's movements paused significantly.

Obviously, he was a little nervous.

Yes, sweat ran down his cheeks, giving Draco a nervous taste.At this critical moment, he suddenly hesitated, unsure whether he should release the spell fixed in his mind.

After all, he had just learned this spell from Professor Snape not long ago. Although he had succeeded in trying it before, he still lacked confidence.

In particular, Jerry also specifically emphasized the accident of spell casting failure, which made Draco involuntarily think of the Barufio wizard who mistakenly summoned the bison on his wife's shoulder, and he became increasingly nervous.

Hesitation caused Draco's eyes to wander, and ended up falling on Harry's face.At this moment, the boy who was dueling for the first time was also very nervous, with an expression on his face as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

This scene greatly increased Draco's confidence. The more nervous his opponent was, the more it showed that he now had an advantageous position and should take advantage of the situation to pursue him.

So, Draco waved his wand and shouted out his newly learned spell: "Serpens—Ortia!"

This time, his gestures of swinging the stick can be described as wide open and wide. While retracting his left arm, he suddenly turned sideways forward. The right hand holding the stick first stabbed forward and then swept left and right, like a poisonous snake probing its head.

The correct pronunciation of the spell, the compliant wand gesture, coupled with the required concentration and clear intention - at this moment, the four elements of spell casting were in place, and the magic power in Draco's body poured into the wand like water.

Gu Qui</span>The tip of the hawthorn wand cracked under the nervous and expectant gaze of its owner. A small black shadow jumped out of it and fell to the open ground with a 'snap'.

It was a short and thin black snake. According to Jerry's visual inspection, compared with the venomous snake summoned by Umbridge's spell, it was only one-third as long as the other one.Even the scales look small and broken, which is really the growth stage and youth version.

However, it was very energetic, shaking its head as soon as it landed on the ground, and swam towards Harry.

Harry didn't just watch. With a low roar of "Rictu—sempra!", a silver light hit Draco's chest.

A strong smile came up. Draco tried to hold it back but couldn't hold it back. He could only gasp and laugh at the black snake's actions. He successfully cast the [Summoning Viper Curse], which made him quite proud.

'Now I'm sure to win!It's a pity...' Draco, who was still very excited, glanced at Jerry who looked scrutinizing next to him with a depressed look, 'The Snake Summoning Curse can't deal with this guy, he has a Parselmouth. '

Thinking of this, he became more and more depressed. His face was both smiling and angry, which was extremely weird.

After a week of consecutive losses, Draco realized something was wrong and naturally chose to find another strategy:

At first, he planned to take advantage of the rules he had set with Gunter and find a few more assistants to join him, but as a result, the entire Slytherin team had failed miserably.

Afterwards, he instinctively tried to seek further help from his family, but when he wrote to his father Lucius, he was too embarrassed to admit that he had repeatedly failed miserably, and only said that there had been many frictions.

As a result, Lucius misjudged the specific situation and wrote back asking him to let the team members work hard during this period, and then go back to deal with the other party after the family has completed the inspection by the Ministry of Magic.

In the end, Draco had no choice but to try to find Professor Snape to learn powerful magic to make a comeback - his father told him before school started that this teacher was a friend of the Malfoy family.

However, because during last Friday's Potions class, Snape gave Jerry more house points than the other people's points combined, Draco suspected that the teacher might like him more, so he lied and claimed that he was There was a conflict with the stupid lion.

As a result, Professor Snape taught him the Serpent Summoning Charm with a cold face, a spell that would have the opposite effect just in front of Gunter.

'No matter what, let's teach this ungrateful guy Scar Tou a lesson first. 'Draco temporarily put aside his helplessness of having nothing to do with Jerry, and looked at the black snake approaching Potter with malice.

He was so excited that he laughed along with the smile, but he didn't notice the strange expression on Harry's face. It was an expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't, and wanted to take action but was hesitant.

Harry watched the black snake approaching and felt confused.

He knew he was a Parselmouth and instinctively knew how to command and drive the black snake to turn around and fight back.But he also knew very well whose symbol was Parseltongue, which put him in a dilemma for a while.

Jerry openly used Parseltongue at the opening party, which caused a lot of discussion among the students, allowing Harry to know in advance the relationship between Parseltongue and Salazar Slytherin.He was troubled by his strange connection with Slytherin and did not want others to know the secret.

'Then you can't use Parseltongue to make it stop, what should you do?Another tickle spell?Or a leg-locking curse?It doesn’t seem to work, right?Do snakes have these organs? '

Facing the predicament, Harry's mind was in a mess. The spells he had learned temporarily from his seniors didn't seem to be suitable for dealing with snakes!

Black Snake didn't know what the little wizard on the other side was thinking, so he just pushed forward with his head held high and spitting out the letter.

On the other hand, Ron, who came as an assistant, saw that Harry was motionless and seemed petrified, so he quickly called his friend to come to his senses.As a result, the little snake was stimulated, causing it to suddenly turn its head and attack him.

"Don't come over!" Seeing the black snake getting closer and closer, opening its mouth and showing its fangs, Ron shouted in panic.

Seeing this, Harry didn't think much about keeping the secret, and didn't dare to waste time asking Jerry for help. He went directly to the battle himself: "-hiss... get back... hiss-"

Just like that, in full view of everyone, the black snake made a 180-degree detour and crawled back towards its summoner, Draco.

"What's going on?!" Draco exclaimed in disbelief, "What trick are you playing? It's over there!"

The outcome was reversed in an instant, and Draco's whole body went numb under the ups and downs.He could no longer control the smile caused by the tickling spell, and grinned strangely, his laughter full of anger.

Seeing that the black snake had crawled to Draco's feet, he might have taken a bite from him, but he was laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up, so Jerry had to take action to resolve it: "The snake disappeared without a trace and turned into black smoke."

The black snake that was still ready to pounce just now dispersed and was sent back by Jerry, as if it had never been here.

"The winner has been decided." Jerry paused, and then added: "Malfoy took the photo beforehand and was countered during the duel. The winner of this duel should be Potter."

No one objected. Draco was still under the spell. Crabbe tried to ease it by patting him on the back, but it had no effect. Harry was troubled by Parseltongue, and Ron was also at a loss. look.

It can be said that both sides of this duel are not in a good state at the moment.

Jerry, as the referee, was very happy. The little spiders sent back information that Mrs. Norris was about to return, taking her owner Filch with her.

about to start.
