Following Gemma Leafa's voice, the entire Slytherin House fell into a rustling discussion.
In Slytherin House, unless the seventh-year student serves as the student council president, the sixth-year prefect of each term is by default the one with the highest status in the entire student body, and this year it is Gemma Leafa's turn.
However, compared with previous ones, this postponement is not so convincing.
In the past school year, Slytherin House suffered its worst defeat in seven years.
If the defeats in the House Cup and Quidditch Cup can be attributed to Elena Kaslana being too talented, then the common room was almost breached by Hufflepuff and the disastrous defeat at the end of the semester was
It's their own problems.
"Shadow Prefect..."
Irina Ivanovich read softly.
Shadow Prefect is a privilege outside the Hogwarts system and only exists within Slytherin.
Compared with the formal prefects of Hogwarts, there is only one place for shadow prefects, and it does not distinguish between men and women. The meaning it represents is very simple - in Slytherin College, those under fifth grade have the strongest magical combat ability.
The wizard.
As the shadow prefect's grade gradually increases, he usually defaults to the dominant position among the prefects of the same grade.
From the information revealed in the discussions among the surrounding senior Slytherin students, Gemma Leafa, the sixth-grade female prefect standing in the center of the hall, successfully skipped the level challenge in the third grade and is a very powerful person.
Shadow Prefect.
In fact, this is already a very remarkable achievement.
After all, in most cases, Slytherin's little wizards usually only participate in the competition for Shadow Prefect in the fourth grade. Before that, whether it is the amount of magic or mana, they
The disadvantages are too great.
Because of this, even the Malfoy boy, who performed extremely well last year, did not choose to stand up now.
You know, what you face when you fail in a challenge is not just physical pain - in Slytherin, those underage shadow prefects are usually not so tolerant to their peers who dare to go against them.
Difficult.
However, Elena Kaslana's mission is...
"So, is there anyone else planning to participate in this year's shadow prefect challenge?"
In front of the fireplace in the lounge, Gemma Leafa glanced at the students standing up, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She originally thought that Draco Malfoy would stand up and try to challenge the shadow prefect. After all, this little guy from the Malfoy family performed well last year, whether it was Quidditch, his grades, or his dueling ability.
good.
However, perhaps it is just like what the elders in the family say about the Malfoy family - they are too shrewd businessmen.
Gemma Leafa shook her head, took out her wand and waved it in the air, preparing to announce the start of the challenge.
I hope that by this time next year, the boy from the Malfoy family can give her some surprises. As for this year's shadow prefect challenge, it is probably just a formality. The final winner will probably be from the few members of the team.
Birth.
At this moment, a strange and pleasant voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Miss Leafa, um...according to this rule, I should be able to participate, right?"
"Hmm? There are still challengers among the fourth graders?"
Gemma Leafa raised her head and looked curiously in the direction of the sound.
I saw the new student from Russia who had talked with Professor McGonagall during the sorting school slowly walked out of the crowd, pulled out a somewhat old wand with an extremely solemn expression, and performed the ritual of a pure-blood wizard family with great grace.
Irina took a deep breath, a firm look flashed in her eyes.
In the modern magical world, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination is undoubtedly a very clear dividing line, just like the high school graduation exam in the non-magical world, which determines whether a student can be called a wizard.
At this point, whether it is Russia's Kodosdorez, France's Beauxbatons, Scandinavia's Durmstrang, the United States' Ilvermorny... most of them refer to Hogg
The academic system of Watts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry chooses to conduct a large-scale grade assessment for each student when they are in fifth grade.
Before this, the courses students were exposed to were more about popularization of knowledge and simple magic skills.
In a relatively peaceful era, even Durmstrang, who has a relatively relaxed magical environment, will not teach students too many combat spells before fifth grade, just like the non-magical world will not teach middle school students in peaceful times.
Use thermal weapons.
Therefore, in the magic world, grades one to four are usually divided into the same stage.
Because of these factors, there is only one shadow prefect in Slytherin for each class. Her jurisdiction covers all students below the fifth grade, instead of having two formal prefects in each grade like Hogwarts.
people.
Of course, generally speaking, people do not regard first-year students who have not yet entered school as one of the challengers.
"interesting--"
Gemma Leafa glanced at Irina with interest and nodded noncommittally.
Slytherin House does not respect foolhardy courage. If this little girl is a lion who is mistakenly classified into a group of snakes, then this opportunity is just right for her to understand the survival rules of Slytherin House. And if she really shows
Out of strength——
So, even in the worst case scenario, it would be a good thing for Slytherin.
You know, unlike Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe... these students who have long been marked by Elena, this is a student who does not belong to Elena Moonlight.
·Potential stocks of Kaslana camp.
Of course, before that, we still need to temporarily verify whether she is worth cultivating and supporting.
Gemma Leafa waited another three or four seconds, glanced contemptuously at Malfoy on the edge of the crowd, and shook her head again.
As for some people, after this challenge, they almost know the limitations of their small ambitions.
Gemma Leafa did not hesitate any longer. She took out her wand and waved her arm in an exaggerated arc in the air. As she moved, a shallow scratch appeared in the Slytherin common room.
On the floor in the center.
"The rules are simple - within this range, there will be a spell confrontation. The time limit is five minutes. You can use all the spells you know. The last person left will be the new Shadow Prefect of Slytherin Academy."
Immediately afterwards, Gemma Leafa waved her hand casually, glanced at the junior students who entered the venue, and said softly.
"By the way, I suggest you don't think about attacking the surrounding areas and just start!"
As Leafa finished speaking, the fourth grade students in the venue were slightly stunned.
"Wait a minute, Leafa, this seems to be different from the previous rules..."
Lucien Bol frowned and was about to question.
As the beater of the Slytherin Quidditch team, the burly Lucian Ball can be regarded as the most powerful competitor for shadow prefect, especially when his only competitor, Perikin Derek, has also withdrawn.
In case of competition.
In Lucian Ball's impression, the way to challenge the shadow prefect should be a one-on-one group duel. Mo Xue Literature Network
Deciding on a winner in the end is not as random as a big brawl like now -
"Collapse!"
However, before he could finish his words, a crimson curse pierced the tranquility and hit his chest.
"Varied--"
Lucian turned his head hard and looked in the direction of the curse.
At the last second before his consciousness fell into darkness, he seemed to see the witch named "Caslana" reappearing in the hall of Slytherin College, waving her wand and speaking slowly.
Harvesting the spoils of war.
"The first one. Phew..."
Irina muttered softly, quickly turning her wand and deftly deflecting a spell that flew towards her.
"Is this Hogwarts? The reaction was slower than I expected - I fainted!"
Immediately afterwards, the girl's wrist shook quickly and she clicked in the direction from which the curse came. Another dazzling red light beam blasted out and hit the unknown senior girl's belly, knocking her unconscious.
aside.
On the other side four or five meters away from her, three other senior boys subconsciously gathered together and looked at Irina, who was brazenly attacking, as if they were seeing some kind of man-eating beast.
It is filled with fear.
Since last year, are all the little new students at Hogwarts monsters?!
"Want to take advantage of the numerical advantage and join forces to eliminate competitors?"
Irina smiled slightly, looked at the boys gathered together, and shook her head with some disappointment.
"It is never the number of people that determines victory or defeat, but faith - this is the meaning of magic!"
Irina still clearly remembers everything she saw on the Hyperion that day.
Compared to Elena and those from the Destiny Group, this group of Slytherin students is too weak. Even if they temporarily formed an offensive and defensive system in panic, their combat experience and combat consciousness are too weak.
Too bad.
"Armor protection!"
Looking at the oncoming spell, Irina raised her eyebrows and waved her wand casually.
The next moment, the invisible magic barrier flashed in the air, and the two menacing spells bounced back faster than they came, falling straight on the two people who had not yet smiled.
On the fading senior students.
This is the perfectly released Iron Armor Curse?!
As for the two beams of red light just now, they are obviously the most standard coma spells.
Gemma Leafa was slightly startled, and looked seriously at the new student who was fighting one against three without falling behind at all. Her heart was filled with shock - whether it was the Iron Armor Curse or the Stunning Curse, these were all after Ls.
The magic spell that will be required.
In fact, a considerable number of students were unable to cast the Iron Armor Curse proficiently even until graduation.
And when these appear on a new student who has just entered school less than a few hours ago and has not even started the spells class, it becomes very magical. Even when Elena Kaslana enrolled in school,
Neither can do this.
There is no doubt that behind this foreign girl, there must be a pure-blood family supported by a powerful wizard.
Hmm - Ivanovich?
Maybe, you can write to your parents tomorrow and ask them?
While Gemma Leafa was thinking this, she watched Irina dexterously direct the wand, lighting the robes on the last two fourth-year Slytherin students, and then patching them up one by one while they were busy putting out the fire.
A stun spell.
Cold, strong, eager to prove himself, ambitious... this child is a born Slytherin.
Gemma Leafa nodded secretly and glanced at Irina with a little fear.
Fortunately, as the sixth-grade prefect, the newly promoted Slytherin shadow prefect has no chance of challenging her position for the time being, and by this time in the second year, that will no longer be something she needs to worry about.
problem.
However, apart from the selection of shadow prefects, everything that followed happened without any surprises.
Just as Gemma Leafa expected, Marcus Flint did not choose to challenge her. Instead, he took the initiative to help her block another challenge from the fifth-grade prefect, which saved her the trouble.
Less energy.
"Okay, now you all go back to your dormitories."
As the last challenger fell into a coma, Gemma Leafa clapped her hands, glanced at Irina and said.
"As for Miss Ivanovich, I will explain your situation to Professor Snape tomorrow - if you have any special needs, you can sort them out tonight and give them to me tomorrow morning. Now you can go and choose your
Your room."
After saying that, Gemma Leafa moved her eyes and glared at the dumbfounded Malfoy next to her with some hatred.
well--
Tomorrow I have to write a letter for my father to take to Mr. Lucius Malfoy.
Regarding this year's Shadow Prefect matter, it's not that she doesn't want to help, it's just that Draco Malfoy, this little guy, has no ambition or ambition. He didn't even make the most basic movement throughout the night, just like he was an ordinary student.
And with the strength Irina has shown, even if Draco Malfoy participates, the result will probably be the same.
"So that's how terrible it is..."
Draco Malfoy looked at the senior students lying on the floor and swallowed.
He finally understood why on the train, the eldest sister specifically asked Bill Weasley to convey to him the request not to participate in the shadow prefect challenge this year - facing such a monster freshman, not taking action is the most correct choice.
.
not to mention……
Draco Malfoy glanced at Irina Ivanovich who was surrounded by the crowd, gently pinched the sharp-edged metal badge in his pocket with his left hand, and couldn't help but think of Bill Way.
Sly's advice.
"Draco, if you want to be the eldest lady's shadow, then you need to understand - the most perfect shadow will only show value when necessary, rather than being like a peacock, showing off its existence all the time.
.”
"As your guide, the first task I give you is to make yourself less conspicuous."
