Fail Demon King

looked at him steadily.

"You're walking too slowly! Did the Floo powder knock you out?" Abraxas laughed, and he pulled Billy next to him and Tom, and they were all three side by side now. "You gotta Hurry back to the room to have a look, the house elves released Nagini and Victor after putting away their luggage, I bet they are already fighting like hell now."

They walked along the carpeted hallway, with portraits of the Malfoys on the wall beside them, and Billy observed that at least half of the portraits looked at their frivolous descendants with displeasure, while the other half simply despaired. closed his eyes.The situation was not difficult to laugh at, except for one thing—Abraxas walked in the middle, completely blocking Billy's view of Tom's profile.

Billy rubbed his nose, and was about to answer a few words without pain, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out in the hall.He quickly stopped her: "Lucretia—old man! Thanks Merlin, you're here too!"

The figure in the dark purple robe paused, and the black-haired Lucretia turned around.She had a gloomy face, but the gloomy expression finally eased a little when she saw Billy: "Please don't call me that." After seeing Tom, she raised her eyebrows, "No As expected, Billy, I knew you'd come."

Billy turned to Abraxas politely: "I want to go to the garden first, don't you mind?"

"of course not."

"Thank you." Billy looked back at Tom again, "You go back first—see Nagini and Victor." Tom narrowed his black eyes hesitantly and snorted, but Billy didn't intend to pay attention, He walked towards Lucretia in three steps at a time, leaving Tom and Abraxas behind - let them be happy forever.

"The weather is really nice today, and it's a pleasure to take a walk. Go, Lucretia." Seeing Lucretia naturally took Billy's arms, Abraxas added with great interest, and now he looks The most cheerful of the group—probably the only one, "But don't miss dinner, both of you."

27 A Little Request from Lucretia

Billy and Lucretia were walking in the garden.A large bush of roses is in full bloom, exuding a rich fragrance, and some garden elves, less than the size of a palm, with shiny wings, are laughing and collecting nectar.Carefully avoiding the thick nettles and the thorns beneath the roses, they perch on the delicate petals.

Lucretia's face was still very gloomy, and Billy was not much better than her.They walked in silence for a while, and when they passed a peacock fountain that sprayed water from its beak and opened its screens at regular intervals, Billy said, "I didn't expect you to be here, honestly, I thought you wouldn't." I like Malfoy."

"My father asked me to come. He was in Malfoy Manor to discuss the theme and funding of the next issue of "Wizard Wars". He himself didn't think much of Abraxas, so he had other intentions in asking me to come here." ’ Lucretia spoke low and fast, looked up at Billy and smiled self-deprecatingly, “Now you’re not suffering alone.”

Billy shrugged. "Indeed, I feel better."

"Listen, Billy," Lucretia said suddenly, and in a rare way she looked rather exasperated, "you've got to do me a favor."

Billy was taken aback by her anxious look: "If you want me to help you cast an Unforgivable Curse on Malfoy, then I can't do it."

Lucretia ignored him, and continued: "You know, Abraxas invited half of Hogwarts this time: Black and Lestrange from the third grade and above are here. A pair of Weasley twins and three Scots were also named. The eldest daughter of the McMillan family also came, and the only son of the Pruvitt family... oh, there should be a few Yaxleys- —”

Billy looked at her with admiration: "I know you have always had a good memory, Liu Di1, but I didn't expect you to memorize the entire guest list."

Lucretia gave Billy a stern look, and she said without a word, "Now let's get to the heart of the matter—you've got to do me a favor."

"Just say it."

"The only son of the Pruvitt family doesn't go to school at Hogwarts, he came back from Durmstrang for the summer vacation." Lucretia twisted the corners of her lips and pulled a smile, "Of course, this is an out-and-out pure Blood—my father wanted me to be engaged to him."

Billy took Lucretia's hand out of his own without grace, and turned away.

"Is this what a gentleman does, Billy Stubbs?" Lucretia stepped in front of Billy, staring at him with burning eyes, "You let me down so much."

"Merlin, I'm not going to pretend to be your love interest and block your arrows like a fool." Billy also looked directly at her, and said uncompromisingly, "Russia must be very suitable for cultivating people who are tough and ruthless." character, and who knows how many jinxes Pruvitt learned in Durmstrang, I don't want him to practice it on me at all. You're right to find a chivalrous Gryffindor , I recommend Weasley to you. Goodbye, Luti."

"You forgot," Lucretia blinked with wisdom, "Hogwarts does not allow underage wizards to use magic outside of school."

"Come on," Billy gave a short laugh, "first, he's not a Hogwarts student, and I don't know if he's an adult; second, the Ministry of Magic doesn't know if it was an underage wizard who did it." Magic—in the Malfoy household, where dozens of house-elves cast spells and serve their masters every day, they can't be bothered to meddle in their own business."

Lucretia's face darkened: "I remember you were not so smart, Billy, this is too out of date."

"..."

"Well, this is just a small request." Lucretia sighed melancholy, "Since you don't agree, let's continue walking."

Billy looked at him dubiously, relying on his Slytherin instincts, if he were Lucretia, he would never give up at this point.Billy stands ready--

There must be something else waiting for him, comparable to the jinx of the black South American wizard.

"Don't be nervous, let's change the subject." Sure enough, the next second, Lucretia said quietly, "Did you know that there was a rumor that there was a haunted girl's bathroom in Hogwarts since the end of last semester?"

Billy curled his lips, he was still vigilant: "Haunting is a Hogwarts tradition, it's not surprising at all."

"Of course," Lucretia said with a smile, "but one time, I finally couldn't stand the mandrake-like crying, so I gently opened the door and walked in."

For some reason, Billy faintly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.He touched his nose with a dry smile: "Say it straight, Liu Di, what did you see?"

"I saw her, she didn't see me. It was a lovely round-faced girl with glasses and long hair. She was crying because she seemed to like a boy—" Lucretia added the emphasis." Our house has beautiful dark chestnut hair. She said to herself that this boy is different from other Slytherins. He is handsome, kind and laughs. She doesn't know how to tell the boy So I cried. Poor, isn't it? Say," she raised her eyebrows at Billy, "shall I give her a hand?"

"..."

The walk in the garden ends with the sudden appearance of Chris the house-elf.He bowed and asked in a shrill voice that Miss Black and Mr Stubbs had better get ready for supper, or risk missing the soup.

On the noisy long table, teenagers were in a frenzy.Without the restraint of those aristocratic etiquette, Andromeda Macmillan was flushed by a joke and completely collapsed on the chair; while several cousins ​​of Lestrange were throwing each other with Abraxas Blue cheese.In the resplendent lobby, bread and dishes were flying all over the sky, and the sound of whistles and banging of tables was repeated one after another.

In this case, Billy and Lucretia walk into the hall hardly attracting any attention.

—Except for the individual line of sight of individual people.

Tom was also sitting in the middle of this crazy banquet. Andromeda had tried every means to get close to this handsome top student in school, and now she finally got what she wanted.And she was certainly safe sitting next to Tom, for though the dark-haired boy would throw a couple of buttercheese now and then, none of those retaliatory throws could hit him.The greasy attackers always diverted far away from him, and then smashed on the mural behind the dining table.

Billy walked over cautiously, and sure enough there was an empty seat beside Tom—and it was fairly clean, untainted by flying sauces.He sat down with a sigh of relief, ready to find something to fill his empty stomach.

"What did she tell you?"

Billy froze for a moment, it was so noisy here, he almost thought it was his hallucination, because Tom was sitting next to him with a clearly careless expression on his face.

Tom turned and repeated: "What did she tell you?"

——How can you say such a thing?Billy touched his nose helplessly, and slowly cut up the fennel veal steak in front of him with a knife: "It's nothing, just chatting casually-school homework, the weather is good, etc." He paused, Tom's dark pair of black His eyes made him inexplicably uncomfortable, "What's wrong?"

Tom's dark eyes twinkled. "Blake was as happy as Felicia when you walked in," and he paused just in time to see Lucretia wink cryptically at Billy across the long table.Tom snorted coldly, "And your face looks ugly as if you were possessed by the bloody Barrow."

Billy coughed twice, without saying a word, as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and continued to dismember his veal steak.

"Oh——" Tom raised his jaw slightly, and his eyes flashed sharply from under his long fan-like eyelashes, "Secret, isn't it?" A spoon flew over and passed Tom's ear, but he didn't move. , just twisted his lips meanly, "But it doesn't matter, you don't care about one more secret."

Billy swallowed the beef in his mouth with difficulty, and he quickly retrieved a good reason from his brain to lie.But just as he was about to speak, Andromeda, on Tom's other side, interrupted him with a gentle "Riddle, can you look at my hair, please? There seems to be a little bit of cheese on the side." .

And Tom actually turned away, leaving only Billy with a straight back and a fluffy black curly hair on the back of his head.

Billy reflected on what he had done, both bewildered and secretly wary, and wondered if something might have betrayed him.For the rest of the dinner, he kept sneaking glimpses of the back of the jet-black head out of the corner of his eye, but Tom and Andromeda were uncharacteristically enjoying the conversation.She was so overwhelmed by his handsome face and courteous manner that it seemed unnecessary for Tom to turn his back again.

Back in his room, Billy felt exhausted physically and mentally.Victor was chattering around the room, and he had to open the window quickly to let him out.The little owl spread its wings and flew smoothly into the depths of the dark blue night sky.

After washing up, Billy stood in front of the window and took two deep breaths. The rich evening fragrance of some flowers and a cool summer breeze blew in, refreshing.

He subconsciously said "Good night, Tom", only to realize that they were going to sleep in two rooms tonight—and it would be like this for more than a month.Even though Tom was next door, it was not something he was used to.You know, it has been a tradition for many years for them to sleep together under one roof.Nagini was gone, and those noisy hisses and icy kisses that suddenly touched the calf disappeared like Victor flying away without a trace.

Billy stayed in front of the spacious snow-white bed for a while, feeling somewhat lost.Fortunately, for a person who is not in a good mood, drowsiness is always more violent.

— but the day is not over yet.

He just yawned and curled up under the quilt when suddenly there was a light but hasty knock on the door.

Billy woke up with a start. He jumped off the bed, didn't even wear slippers, strode over, and opened the door——

"...Oh." He was stunned, feeling a bit overwhelmed, "Lucretia, it's so late, you..."

—It was not Tom.

Lucretia was wearing a light gray nightgown, and a plain satin nightcap kept her dark braids tightly covered.She looked warily up the empty corridor, then pushed Billy back into the room and walked in herself.

"Don't look at me like that, Billy," she said, glancing at Billy's bare feet as she closed the door carefully, "though I'm sorry to disappoint you about not being Riddle. I see you They didn't get along very well at the dinner table—forget it," she paused, "this is not the time to talk about it."

Billy looked at her angrily: "I've already promised to be your shield, what else do you want to say?"

"Just a word. It's the Lincolnshire Harvest Festival the day after tomorrow, and there's a party at Hankin's Park—you know, games and stuff, and I've seen a bunch of people taking bets—and you can't be out of my sight that day."

"..."

"That way I can save myself in time when Pruvitt approaches."

Billy took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from Lucretia who was too close, and he swallowed: "...you make him look like a manticore or a Kraken."23

"It was even worse for me."

"Well," Billy shrugged resignedly, "my opinion doesn't count anyway. I hope he can back off that day, after all—'if it's all over, it's better not to be too late'."

"Excellent. Good night, Billy."

"...Not at all, Lucretia. Good night."

Just like when she came, Lucretia disappeared discreetly.

Billy felt that if he didn't sleep any more, his brain would be in danger of bursting, but just as he lifted the covers, there was another rhythmic knock on the door.He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, put on his slippers and stomped towards the door.

Throwing the door open, Billy said impatiently, "I suggest you finish everything at once, Liutie, wandering around at night isn't—"

He froze again.

Standing at the door was Tom, whose face was as pale as marble. The tall and thin black-haired boy haughtily pursed his lips, and looked at Billy coldly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not Blake." He held a silver coin in his hand. The vial was passed to Billy, "Medicine. Finish it as soon as possible."

After speaking, he strode away without looking back.

Soon there was a "bang" door closing from the next door, leaving only Billy standing in the doorway dejectedly holding his forehead.

28 A Damn Disarming Curse

Almost all young masters and ladies are looking forward to the farm harvest festival, they can't wait.Betting is intense, with broomstick races and silver apple spells getting a lot of attention.Rodolph Lestrange, who participated in one of the projects, initiated the joint bet.Everything was ready, the Yaxley brothers lamented at the dinner table with great regret that time was passing so slowly.

But time was passing so fast for Billy, and he didn't even want to crawl out of bed when he opened his eyes this morning - see Merlin on that damned Harvest Festival!

Three hours later, this idea was strengthened when he saw the Pruvitt.

The weather was fine that day, and groups of gold-winged elves were flying in the bushes, and the sun made them shine even more golden.The lawn was full of busy people, and many wizards who lived near Hanjin Manor came to help.The smell of baked apple pie and plum cheese pie wafted from a tent that had been pitched, and a crowd of children with toy wands came running over to peep.

There's probably only one person here who's in a bad mood.Billy had never wanted to see Lucretia so much as he did today, but instead, the Black girl was standing fifteen yards away, waving at him.Billy touched his nose and walked toward her resignedly.

"Good afternoon, Billy," Lucretia said with a smile, "the dark green robe matches you very well." She herself was wearing a light gray robe with simple dark lace cuffs.As Billy approached her, she tilted her head slightly and whispered to him, "Great, it's just you. It's going to take a while to separate you from Riddle."

"Really, it's such a good time, we haven't talked all day," said Billy sharply. "He's mad at me, thanks to you."

"It's none of my business," Lucretia said irresponsibly, "but I saw Abraxas with him just now, and they seemed to have a good conversation. Merlin, I think he is almost Admire your Riddle."

"..."

"So you can rest assured that at least you will not be attacked by the anger of Pruvitt and Riddle today."

Billy gritted his teeth and forced out his voice: "...Thank you, Lucretia, you are so sweet."

"Hush." ​​Lucretia frowned suddenly, and she whispered hastily, "—he's coming!"

Thinking it was Tom she was talking about, Billy subconsciously looked up.However, when he saw the menacing figure separating from the crowd and walking towards them, he instinctively wanted to leave Lucretia again and turn around and leave.

Lucretia looked at him threateningly. "Think about our agreement, restraint, Billy."

"This is the Pruvitt? Are you kidding me?" Billy stared at her annoyedly, and said in a very low voice, "I bet he didn't use a wand on me, he broke my spine with his bare hands probably It's as easy as snapping a toothpick. Just look at his size - he's as wide as you and me combined! Are you sure there's no giant blood in his family?"

"Now you know he's worse than a manticore and a kraken?"

Billy was about to speak angrily, but a shadow had already walked in front of them.

"Excuse me for your private conversation." The voice was quite normal, not as giant as Billy imagined, but rather arrogant, "Liu Di, why don't you introduce us?"

Billy looked up slightly to see Pruvitt's face: rather tall, with a hard-edged face, strong and strong like a full-scale Viking.

"Sevier Pruvitt," Lucretia said to Billy, reverting to the haughty, distant impression Billy had when he first met her. Stubbs."

Pruvitt twitched his lips contemptuously. "Stubbs?"

Lucretia held Billy's arm and said flatly, "The noble surname is the one from Bedfordshire."

Billy almost laughed—it was the one from the London Orphanage, actually.

Pruvitt looked at Lucretia suspiciously, and then casually extended his hand to Billy: "Hello." He paused, looked at Billy from head to toe with an exaggerated look, "I'm sorry, I probably left I've been at school for too long, Stubbs. Is your figure the fashion among young wizards in England at the moment?"

Billy smiled slickly, and shook hands with him: "I'm sorry, I'm not very popular, so I can't answer your question. After all, you must be very suitable for the Russian weather."

Pruvitt frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you'd look pretty majestic in that fur coat over there."

Those who know Billy well know the irony of this understatement.In Billy's eyes, most giant magical creatures (including trolls) native to northern Europe can be described in good faith as "majestic and majestic".Lucretia turned her head away, and politely coughed twice to hide her already clearly visible smile.

Of course Pruvitt sensed that something was wrong here.Or rather, he was particularly annoyed by Lucretia's smile, and his voice became thicker: "Thank you. I must say that your old robe matches your complexion perfectly."

"Come on Sewell," Lucretia pretended to smooth things over, "only the upstarts of mixed blood wear brand new clothes that are too crisp to touch, don't they? Well, I'm going to hang out with Billy Go shopping, he will have a game competition soon."

"Wait a minute," Pruvitt looked at Billy with an ugly face, "what game?"

Billy laughed dryly, turned his head to look at Lucretia, he had to use the greatest willpower to forcefully restrain his gnashing of teeth: "Unfortunately, dear Lucretia, I forgot."

"Look," Lucretia spread her hands happily, "he has a really bad memory, and I need to help him remember everything. 'Looking for Transfigured Objects' starts at five o'clock in the afternoon."

Billy gave her a smirk. "You reported it for me, Ludy dear, didn't you?"

"Of course, and I know you're going to win."

Billy let out a breath, turned around and pulled a smirk at Pruvitt: "Look, she reported it for me. Nice to meet you, Pruvitt, goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blue light flashed in front of his eyes!The distance was too close, Billy subconsciously pushed Lucretia away, and rolled on the ground a few times, barely dodging the curse.There was a burst of exclamation around, and a circle of wizards began to gather.

Pruvitt stood across from Billy, livid-faced, holding a rather thick wand.He looked down at Billy with his hands on the ground: "Stand up!" He shouted, "Since your first reaction was to push her away, I'll give you a chance to duel!"

Lucretia snapped, "This is too much, Pruvitt!" She ran to Billy, frowning eagerly. "Billy—are you okay?"

Billy stood up and slowly patted the grass clippings off his body.He raised his hand to touch his left cheek, and there gradually appeared a small bloodstain as if it had been scraped by an ice skate.He snorted and sarcastically mocked: "It's really rare that you are willing to duel with me, thank Merlin, it seems that you don't know that the behavior just now is called sneak attack. I don't duel with people who are reckless, stupid and of low character— — Lucretia, let's go."

"Just, for, this matter," Pruvitt hissed through gritted teeth. He was now flushed, with a lock of auburn hair sticking to his forehead, and his body seemed to be even bigger invisibly, "I will never allow you Take her before me. It's a matter of Pruvitt pride—you seduced her!"

"...Excuse me?" Billy froze for a moment, and then he began to blink rapidly. "I said, is it too serious to use the word seduce?"

"..."

The surrounding crowd began to whisper softly:

"Melina! Come and see—do you think they'll actually fight? Oh!"

"...I remember Hogwarts prohibiting underage wizards from performing magic outside the school..."

"Come on, this is at Malfoy's house... who would know?"

"Duel! Duel!"

Lucretia glanced coldly around, then turned to Pruvitt with her lips pursed, looking extremely pale and haughty: "I forbid—again, Pruvitt, I forbid!"

"I'm sorry, Luti," said Pruvitt stiffly, still pointing his wand at Billy impassively, "I said—this is a matter of Pruvitt's dignity. We agree, Stubbs ’” he looked at Billy viciously. “Whoever loses is automatically quit. Get out your wand! I’m going to cast a spell!”

Now was not the time to back down, and Billy bet that the wand that Pruvitt was pointing at as thick as a willow root had keel in it—it would be good enough for beating, if not for magic.He clenched the corners of his mouth, and his jaw showed a completely different arc of firmness than usual, and then he drew out his wand without hesitation.The people around exclaimed "Oh", and then fell silent for a moment.

Countless onlookers formed a circle, staring at Billy and Pruvitt, who were looking at each other in the circle.Lucretia stood beside her pale and straight.

Suddenly, there was a cold snort from the surrounding crowd.

It was like a hallucination, the voice was too soft, yet Billy was so sensitive to the familiar voice and feeling—

That was definitely Riddle's contemptuous snort.

Billy raised his head subconsciously and looked around quickly, but he didn't see the tall and thin figure at all.He was trying to cast his eyes through the gaps in the crowd, looking further away, and then in the next second, another blue light shot at him with Pruvitt's roar: "Are you belittling me, Stubbs? ! Don't be so careless!"

Billy snapped back to his senses, turned to the side, and at the same time waved his wand quickly: "There are many obstacles!"

The two curses collided and turned towards the crowd, and the circle of onlookers became bigger in a blink of an eye.

Pruvitt is not an easy character to deal with. His size creates a lot of psychological pressure, and when he casts spells, he shows a kind of dexterity that does not match his size.He kept casting attacking jinxes, blushing more and more, and with each spell he uttered, he was closing in on Billy step by step.

Contrary to Pruvitt, Billy was rather pale, but his brown eyes were getting brighter.He stepped back step by step, constantly using "armor body protection" for protection.During the interval between defenses, he can still take a little time to carefully observe Pruvitt and the surrounding ground, and then notice that on the summer lawn, there is a hidden grass hole dug by a hare—if nothing else happens , after two steps, Pruvitt will step on it.

He finally decided to fight back!

Sure enough, in the next second, Pruvitt's feet tilted and he fell forward!Billy raised his wand quickly, determined to end this completely unnecessary duel with a total petrification——

However, something he could not have imagined happened!

Without any warning, his right hand went numb suddenly, and the wand flew up uncontrollably, far into the sky!

Billy froze for a second, before he could react, he held up his right hand.In that second, Pruvitt got his balance under control, raised his wand, and yelled a spell that Billy couldn't understand!

Like being hit in the chest with a big club in an instant, Billy fell backwards.And the moment he fell to the ground, he couldn't help being full of doubts: Who the hell cast that damned disarming spell on him?

29 an amateur game

Pruvitt approached two more steps. He pointed his wand condescendingly at Billy who was lying on the ground. His tall figure covered a large area of ​​sunlight.Although the victor's ankle was still aching, he still perfectly maintained his ruthless expression: "You lost."

"Enough!" Lucretia rushed over, parrying Pruvitt's wand.She squatted eagerly and held Billy's arm, her smooth black hair was a little disheveled now, probably she had been pulling at the end of her hair just now, "Billy! Honey! Are you okay? "

Billy coughed twice, put his hands on the ground, and nodded palely.He glanced at Lucretia, his brown eyes filled with resignation, and hissed into Lucretia's ear through gritted teeth, making sure only the two of them heard: "... for Merlin's sake, 'Dear' Lyuti , It's almost done... You don't need to provoke him anymore, unless you want to fight him in person next time."

Lucretia bit her lip and looked at Billy, then suddenly raised her head to look at Pruvitt, and asked sharply, "What else do you want?"

"Not much." The tall red-haired boy finally lowered his wand, the hard edges of his face making him look like a serious sergeant, "I won, he lost, as agreed—"

"That's your agreement," Lucretia said coldly, "I have the right to decide where my will goes. You are too much, Sewell, and I think I have reason to write a letter to Mr. Pruvitt about it." .”

Pruvitt, who had just calmed down, became visibly excited again: "This is a bias, Lucretia! I don't—" He paused, then gritted his teeth, "Okay. I'm willing to give him another chance .He got distracted just now," he said with a savage glare at Billy, who was still sitting on the ground, "obviously. But now I know he's entered for the 'Finding Shapeshifters' competition—and I'll be, too, we See you later!"

After he finished speaking, just like when he came, he turned and walked away aggressively.

Another murmur broke out in the crowd: "'Looking for shapeshifters'? Why don't I remember such a project?"

"There is indeed... 04:30 p.m.! East End, oh! I hope there's still time to place your bets!"

"What was that man's name just now—Pruvitt?"

"..."

The circle of onlookers quickly dissipated, and most of them made a wise decision to buy a bet on Pruvitt—although the odds may not be very high, the chances of winning must be great.

"Are you really all right," Lucretia said worriedly, leaning over Billy, "Honey—"

"Come on, Lucretia..." Billy coughed twice in pain, he stood up from the ground with difficulty, and slowly brushed the grass on his robe, "He's gone."

"Oh!" Lucretia suddenly reached out and straightened his cheek, "The wound on your face—"

Billy was made uncomfortable by her movement, but she let go of her hand after a while: "It's okay," he raised his hand to touch his face, "It doesn't hurt very much. It seems to be a freezing spell, the ice blade After the stroke, it froze to stop the bleeding."

Lucretia impatiently drew out her wand and whispered a spell.In the next second, the small wound on Billy's face disappeared, but there was still a stubborn blue light glowing there.Lucretia lowered her eyes, and said to herself annoyedly: "Damn Merlin, this freezing spell is really troublesome... What should I say when I return you to Riddle?"

"..."

"I'm going to the housekeeper, Chris, and I'll give you some medicine. Until then, avoid Pruvitt, and you'd better avoid your Riddle."

"...wait." Billy stopped her a second before she turned and walked away, "you haven't told me about that goddamn game - 'Finding Shapeshifters'? What the hell is that Toy?"

"That's not a 'thing', it's a competition!" Lucretia said with a frown, "It's a series: 'Finding Shapeshifters', 'Defense Against the Dark Arts', 'Identifying Rare Plants', 'Potion Dispensing', etc. .Register enough three people to start the competition, otherwise the competition will be cancelled. Listen to me——" She lowered her voice, "I had already calculated that Pruvitt would not let you go so easily, so I specially registered for you name. Transfiguration spell is your strong point!"

"...you know, I'm not
