Hogwarts lazy snake

"I come!"

Carlo's voice rang out in the crowd, with a hint of provocation. Everyone's eyes were immediately cast on him, and he walked out of the crowd with a smug smile on his face.

He walked onto the stage with light steps and stood opposite Harry. The hall suddenly became quiet, everyone looked at the two people who were about to duel with curiosity, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Carrow looked at Harry with disdain in his eyes. He bowed slightly and performed a duel etiquette, but whispered, "Savior, are you ready? This time you won't be as lucky as you were on the Quidditch field."

His voice was low, so only Harry could hear it, and it was thick with malice.

Harry frowned, very surprised.

But he also politely returned a duel etiquette, looked at Carlo with a firm gaze, and whispered back: "It's you? Don't worry! I'm always ready, Carlo."

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "Am I wrong again this time?"

Lockhart stood aside, looking at the two teenagers, and said with a smile: "Very good, now let's get started. Remember, this is just a simple practice, so stop when you are done."

Carlo raised his wand first. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Petrification!" A blue light shot out from the tip of his wand and flew towards Harry at a speed that was astonishing.

Harry was prepared. He quickly waved his wand and shouted, "Armor!" A transparent shield unfolded in front of him. After Carlo's magic hit the shield, ripples appeared, but there was no breakthrough.

The young wizards in the audience held their breath and stared at the two people on the stage.

Ron nervously grabbed Hermione's arm, while Hermione looked at Harry with a worried look on her face, muttering in a low voice, "Why is Carlo so powerful all of a sudden?"

"It's quite powerful."

A voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Draco! Horn! You are finally here." Ron turned his head and looked.

Snape stood on the side of the stage, his eyes fell on Harry, watching this skillful operation, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seamus in the audience waved his fists excitedly and shouted, "Wow! Harry is awesome! He uses the shield beautifully!" His exaggerated sunglasses were almost shaken off.

When Carlo saw that his attack did not work, he frowned slightly, but soon regained his smug expression.

He raised his wand again, muttering something, and this time several black lightning appeared at the tip of his wand, crackling in the air. "Thunder Explosion!" he shouted, and black lightning shot towards Harry.

Harry was shocked. He knew the power of this magic. If he was hit, he might be injured even with the shield.

Under everyone's tense gaze, Carlo launched an attack, and a fierce magic rushed towards Harry. Harry reacted quickly, and he raised his arm, and the black arm guard "guard" instantly burst into a mysterious light, and a complex and sophisticated magic defense array unfolded in front of him.

The defensive formation was like a transparent shield, flashing with strange runes. Carlo's magic hit it, but was easily dissolved, turning into spots of light that dissipated in the air.

After Carlo hit the guard of the defensive formation, Harry maintained the defensive formation with one hand, and waved his wand steadily with the other hand, shouting: "Expelliarmus!"

A dazzling red light shot towards Carlo like an arrow.

Carlo was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect Harry's counterattack to be so quick and fierce. His attack just now had no effect. He didn't have time to think. In a panic, Carlo waved his wand and shouted randomly: "Oolong out of the hole!"

Just as Harry's Disarming Charm was about to hit Carlo, Carlo's wand flew out of his hand.

At the same time, a black snake jumped out from the tip of Carlo's magic wand that was flying in the air. It spit out its tongue, showing its sharp fangs, twisting its body in the air, exuding a dangerous aura.

However, because the wand had left Carlo's hand and lost the support of magic, the black snake had no follow-up strength, and after drawing an arc in the air, it fell to the edge of the stage.

At this moment, Justin from Gryffindor was standing less than five centimeters away from the black-necked snake, staring at the wizard in front of him with his sharp fangs bared.

Justin widened his eyes as he looked at the black-banded snake so close to him. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead and his body froze in place as if under a spell. Fear made his breathing quicken.

When Harry saw this scene, his eyes were stern, and he said directly: "Ss ...

His voice had a special rhythm, and the people around him were surprised when they heard this strange voice. They didn't understand what Harry was saying.

As Harry made that strange sound, the black snake actually stopped and looked at Harry, then turned to look at Justin.

This caused everyone present to fall into silence.

When Harry saw that the snake seemed to be really leaving, he looked up at the frightened Justin. However, instead of gratitude or happiness, he saw a look of fear looking at him.

The black-banded snake that was about to obey and leave was suddenly hit by a magic and turned into ashes like a piece of burning paper.

Justin seemed to wake up from a nightmare at this time. He breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

After a while, he seemed to come to his senses suddenly, pointed at Harry on the stage angrily, and shouted: "What are you doing? What did you just do? You are a monster!"

His voice echoed through the auditorium, filled with anger and fear.

Listening to the discussions around them, some of the little wizards showed confusion in their eyes, while others seemed to be laughing at Justin for being scared like a coward.

Justin's face flushed red, he felt greatly humiliated. He rolled and crawled through the crowd, desperately fleeing the auditorium, his back looked so embarrassed.

Snape took his wand and slowly walked forward a few steps. He looked at the snake that turned into ashes. A complex look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Harry beside him with some surprise.

Then he turned his gaze to Lockhart who seemed a little dazed and said in a cold tone: "Lockhart... Professor, I think... you should have taken action just now, as the professor in charge of the duel. This has gone beyond the scope of simple practice."

"Haha, sorry! I just saw a wonderful duel, and after hearing Harry's... strange language, I was distracted for a moment."

Lockhart seemed to have just come back to his senses from a wonderful performance. He smiled and waved his arms, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, but his smile seemed a little stiff under Snape's cold gaze.

Ron and Hermione hurriedly came behind Harry at this time, and Ron said anxiously: "Harry, go!"

Then the two of them pulled the still confused Harry, squeezed through the crowd, and walked out of the hall.

They knew they couldn't stay here any longer; the situation had become too complicated.

Carlotta walked up to Horn at this time and asked in a low voice: "Follow?"

"Well, let's go." Horn nodded, and just as he was about to raise his foot to follow, he suddenly turned his head and said to Draco who was about to follow him: "Xiaolong, you stay and practice wizard duels with Neville and the others later."

"Ah? Me?! I want to go and take a look too." Draco pointed at himself with a reluctant look on his face. Just as he was about to say something else, he was interrupted by Horn's words.

"No, you don't. You're needed here to stay."

After Horn finished speaking, he and Carlotta, who had already explained everything to Fier, chased in the direction where Harry and the other two had left, leaving Draco standing there with a look of grievance on his face.

Looking at their departing backs, I felt helpless, but at the same time I was curious about why what Harry had just said sounded like a snake, and seemed a little familiar.
