Chapter 23 Draco's Scholarly Tactics
Draco looked at Goyle with despair.
He knew that his two followers were stupid, but he still liked and loved them very much.
This is not only because Goyle and Crabbe have been his playmates since childhood, but also because although these two people are stupid, they are absolutely loyal to him.
But now, Draco realized that he was wrong.
Gore's stupidity was beyond the pale, which put him in an unimaginable predicament.
You know, John is angry when he wakes up!
"You said you were going to duel with Harry Potter?"
John asked with a smile.
This voice woke Draco and the three of them out of their daze.
Goyle and Crabbe immediately covered their mouths and shook their heads desperately. Looking at their red eyes, they were almost crying.
Draco gritted his teeth and finally decided to protect his two stupid followers and said roughly:
"Yes, I did challenge Po Te to a wizard's duel, and the time will be tonight."
John smiled even more happily, tilted his head and looked Draco up and down and said:
"How did you come up with the idea of using Wizard's Duel on Harry Potter?"
Hearing this, Draco's expression became embarrassed.
He was indeed in a good mood before, and he had indeed come out of the shadow of being robbed of the throne by John.
Because his father once said to him - a temporary defeat is insignificant.
This is the ancestral motto of their Malfoy family.
It is precisely because of this sentence that the successive patriarchs of the Malfoy family were able to endure the pain and humiliation that ordinary people could not endure, continue the family, and wait for the right time to rise again.
Therefore, the 'damage' John caused to Draco was not as great as John imagined.
But after losing face, Draco still wanted to vent.
Therefore, Harry became the best target.
As for why I chose to use wizard duel.
That's very simple, Draco dealt with Harry the same way John dealt with him.
After all, although John repeatedly made things difficult for him, he also knew in his heart that John was a truly powerful opponent.
John’s approach has great reference value!
Just like today's flying lesson, Draco used John's words to confront Harry and achieved great success!
But this matter must never be known to others, otherwise wouldn't Malfoy become a scholar?
That is something to be laughed at!
Draco pursed his lips and said:
"It has nothing to do with you anyway!"
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, but have you ever thought about a question?" John shook his head and said, "Do you really think you can beat Harry Potter?"
John didn't mean to belittle Draco.
But in John's impression, Harry was also a complete cheater.
Although he doesn't have many spells at present, it is certainly not as good as Draco, a guy from the Malfoy family.
But Harry is extremely good at close combat!
When he was in the second grade, he fucked a basilisk with one man, one bird and one sword.
This is simply a sword master!
If they really put it all together, if Harry could punch Draco, he would be able to make Draco lie on the ground and moan for a long time.
But what surprised John was that Draco said with a proud face when he heard this:
"Who said I'm really going to duel with Po Te? I won't go back for tonight's duel. Not only that, I will also report Po Te's night outing to Filch. In this way, Po Te will definitely be punished.
Fired!"
As soon as he said this, Goyle and Crabbe beside him also giggled.
Obviously, they all thought Draco's idea was a great one.
John was the only one at the scene who frowned.
Draco's method was too underhanded and he didn't like it very much.
"First of all, even if Harry Potter is caught wandering at night, he will definitely not be expelled. I told you the reason on the night of the sorting ceremony, and I won't repeat it. I can only say that the rules of Hogwarts are
It’s not as severe as you think.”
John said coldly, "Secondly, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"What are the consequences?" Draco said nonchalantly, "I don't go out at night."
"Yes, you did not break the rules, and the professors can't punish you. But you are representing Slytherin now! You took the initiative to challenge Harry Potter to a duel, and then did not go to the appointment. You
What do you think others will say?”
John hummed softly, "The viper challenged the lion, and the brave lion happily accepted the appointment, but the despicable and cowardly viper let the dove go! Oh! What a cowardly viper! Oh! What a despicable viper...
…”
John was only halfway through singing when Draco's face turned completely pale.
If a similar ballad really comes out, his reputation and that of Slytherin will be completely ruined!
What's even more frightening is that the prefects in the college will definitely tear him alive!
Therefore, he must go to the appointment this time.
But like John just asked him, can he really defeat Harry Potter?
No matter what you say about that bad guy, he was still the savior who defeated Voldemort when he was a baby!
Who knows what powerful power he has hidden in him?
Thinking like this, Draco felt a little panicked, and then he instinctively looked towards John.
After today's experience of applying John's words to fight against Poit, and applying John's wizard duel to deal with Poit, and all achieved good results, Draco has actually developed a habit, that is, when encountering difficulties, he will
Think about what John would do.
This was shameful, after all, John had 'beaten' him so many times.
But I have to admit, this does work!
For example, in this wizard duel, if he had to keep the appointment, he might have little chance of winning.
But if the person who goes there is John, wouldn’t he definitely win with John’s strong fighting power?
When the time comes, I will also learn the melody that John just hummed and compose a ditty to mock those stupid lions, it will be great!
Of course, he also knew that he was not John and did not have John's fighting ability, but what if John also went with them?
This is related to the collective honor of Slytherin. As a Slytherin, John should also contribute to this!
Draco felt a little moved, but at this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that John had picked up the toolbox again and walked towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going!?"
Draco asked subconsciously.
"Of course I'm going to Professor Snape's place," John said without looking back, "I still have work."
Draco said in a panic:
"But...but what about the duel at night? You are now the new king of Slytherin, you should do your part!"
This time John simply didn't bother to pay attention to him and waved his hand as a response.
Draco was really anxious now. He couldn't help but think of what John had said to him during today's flying lesson, as well as the ancestral motto of the Malfoy family.
For a moment, Draco felt so happy that he shouted loudly:
"Please! John! I beg you to help me! Be my duel assistant and go with me to deal with Pott!"
'If you ask me, I will teach you.'
This is what John said himself. John shouldn't break his promise, right?
Draco thought so.
As for whether it was shameful or not, Draco no longer cared.
Because he had suffered so much humiliation in his repeated battles with John that he was somewhat used to it.
Upon hearing this, John's steps suddenly stopped.
He turned his head and looked at Draco in surprise, and after a while he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"Do you just rely on your words when asking for help?"
Draco's expression froze, but he quickly reacted, took out a money bag embroidered with gold thread from his arms, and handed it to John with a struggling expression.
"Here is 20 Galleons, please help me!"
Draco's heart was bleeding as he spoke.
This is his weekly pocket money!
Giving it all to John means that he can't buy anything next week!
However, the effect of these 20 galleons is indeed very good.
Chapter completed!
