Joel in the ring was secretly angry. He was careless after all. Unexpectedly, Haylis actually hid an unknown trump card.
Those vines seemed to contain some kind of toxin, causing him to lose control of his body and just stand stiffly on the ring.
Haylis did not ignore her boyfriend. After she woke up, she quickly tapped Joel on the head with her wand.
It was like a clear spring pouring down from the top of his head, dispelling all the numbness, making Joel tremble all over and shiver.
Professor McGonagall stood on the ring and explained the duel just now to the students in the audience. She was very satisfied with the performance of the two and even said more: "Mr. Taylor understands where his advantage is, and he has been approaching Serge from the beginning.
Miss Wen tried to use high-frequency magic attacks to win, but Miss Selwyn knew that the chance of winning was very low by closing the distance, so she specially reserved her magic power and laid out a series of traps on the way back..."
Joel didn't listen to the rest of the words. Haylis had already pulled him away from the ring. On the way, the students looked at him one after another, some curious, some envious, and several girls looked at Joel with mixed looks.
Partial worship.
"So strong..." Harry and Hermione beside him sighed as they witnessed the entire duel. There was only one grade difference, but Harry could sense the gap in combat power between him and Joel.
"There's no need to belittle yourself," Hermione knocked on Harry's head. Thanks to Harry's lack of height, she could still rub the soft hair on his head unscrupulously, "You are already much better than your peers."
In another corner of the auditorium, Lockhart also noticed the duel between Joel and Halys. He frowned, and the suspicion in his heart became stronger.
Snape had a look of approval in his eyes. This summer, he had just learned Joel's true identity from Dumbledore. He didn't expect that his parents, like himself, were spies of the Order of the Phoenix lurking among the Death Eaters.
.
This is also understandable. Before the death of Harry's mother Lily Potter, Snape was an out-and-out Death Eater. He was also a boring gourd on weekdays. He was the only one in the Death Eater team who was close to Lucius.
, usually indifferent to other things, only focusing on the potion in his crucible, and has no idea that there are employees of the Department of Mysteries among the Death Eaters.
Thinking of this, he looked at Malfoy and Harry, feeling angry again.
"Potter!" Snape said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "come here and have a competition with Draco Malfoy. You can only win but not lose."
Joel and Halys on the other side didn't know about Malfoy and Harry's innocent disaster. They were holding hands and standing on the corner platform of the stairs in Ravenclaw Tower, looking at the hazy night scene outside the window while blowing the evening breeze.
.
"Your dueling skills are quite good, which is beyond my expectation." Joel looked into Hailes' eyes and said softly.
He knew that Haylis' spell level was definitely not weak, but he didn't expect that she was so strong. If it weren't for the area restrictions of the arena that allowed him to get closer to Haylis more easily, the outcome of this duel was still uncertain.
Hailis accepted all of Joel's compliments, "I didn't expect that I was so good, but I'm exhausted, so I quickly put my hands on my hips."
"What's going on with those vines of yours?" Joel asked the question that had been bothering him since the duel.
According to experience, it is not a summoning spell, but Joel has never seen this type of spell based on his reading experience.
Hailis smiled proudly, "You were injured in the past two weeks. I figured it out by myself. Isn't it very powerful?"
"You figured it out by yourself?" Joel didn't expect to hear this answer from Haylis.
"Yes, you're injured, and the plastic sisters Qiu and Marietta don't take me with them, so I have to do my herbology classwork alone," Haylis said, "When I'm bored, I just think about it.
Can these plants be used in magic spells?"
"Then I tried it twice and it actually worked," Haylis shrugged. "But the effect is not very strong. In most cases it can only be used as a trap."
"Can you master the magic chanting and wand-waving movements?" Joel subconsciously asked this question, and then was stunned.
In his memory, Haylis never chanted any weird spells during the duel, nor did she simply wave her wand to cast spells silently.
"Silent casting without a wand?" He was extremely shocked.
"Yes, otherwise how could it be 'successful after trying twice'," Hailis said angrily. She slowly opened her clenched fists, and a budding flower appeared inside, with branches and leaves full of flowers.
Cui said with some fragrance, "Sister, I'm very talented, okay?"
Regarding birthdays, Hailes is slightly older than Joel. Ever since they got together, Hailes has been pestering Joel to call him sister. I don’t know what weird habit it is.
Sister? Joel sneered in his heart, considering your age, you are a stinky sister.
Hailes didn't hide anything from Joel. She told him her practice method and asked him to try it too.
Joel gave up the idea after five minutes. He couldn't sense the mood of each plant... He couldn't do it at all, okay?
As Haylis said, Joel could only attribute it all to her talent in the end.
Haylis can only cover a small area with plants now, and the number she can control to attack is even smaller. The vines that attack Joel are a variant of Devil's Net, which are highly aggressive and paralyzing.
, it can be called the best choice for setting traps.
Joel had a bold idea in his mind. If Haylis's magic power increased to a certain amount, could this ability be used as the wood escape in Naruto?
He was suffering from chuunibyou just thinking about it, and he almost couldn't control his fingers that wanted to form a seal.
It's said to be a duel club, but its main purpose is to prevent emergencies. From this purpose, Joel and Haylis have very little room for improvement in the opinion of the professors.
However, the two of them did not want to slack off. Instead, they stayed under the ring and watched the duels of other students. Joel taught Hailis a method of substitution, imagining herself as one of the duels in the ring.
Consider the next step in the duel from his standpoint.
For example, the contest between Harry and Malfoy is different from the original work. Snape did not teach Malfoy any private knowledge. The two used a bunch of curses to duel in the ring. In terms of duel strength, both Malfoy and Harry were superior.
He is not weak, just like Hermione said, he is much stronger than his peers, but in the eyes of Joel and Haylis, he is full of flaws.
The two of them chose one side to take over, and after observing the situation, they announced their next choice. Joel was particularly shrewd in choosing the place to chat next to Professor McGonagall, and he also got a lot out of this strict professor.
Tips for dueling.
Over the course of one night, the two's understanding of dueling improved rapidly.
The four deans discussed with Professor Lockhart and decided to hold a duel club on the third Friday night of every month. They planned to continue this club and run it as a long-term community activity.
The next morning, Joel climbed out of bed with a sore back. The three roommates were still asleep. After washing up as usual, they went to the auditorium to have breakfast alone.
There are always very few people having breakfast in the auditorium every weekend, and most people stay in bed to catch up on their sleep.
As soon as he spread jam on two pieces of toast, the owl arrived with a freshly baked copy of the Daily Prophet. Joel paid the money and sent the owl away before unfolding the newspaper.
The first page is about the competition for the venue of the 1998 Quidditch World Cup, which finally ended up in Japan in the East. The Japanese representatives on the headline hugged each other excitedly. This is the first time they have hosted such a high-level sports event. They will definitely
Give a shot in the arm to the Japanese magic world's economy.
Second edition, Lucius Malfoy went to the Ministry of Magic yesterday to appear in court to respond to the second appeal of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Although Director Amelia Bones used public opinion to put pressure on members of the Wizengamot, the
The Malfoy family gave too much money, and the final vote was very different.
Malfoy was acquitted and the diary was returned to its original owner.
Joel's heart was lifted halfway up, and at this moment he felt that the toast in his mouth no longer tasted good.
I didn’t expect that “if you have money, you can do whatever you want” also applies to the magical world.
If you want to make Malfoy unlucky, you have to make more money. If you have money, you can knock out the members of the Wizengamot with money. Doesn't Lucius have to go to Azkaban for a few days this time?
sky?
Joel sighed, remembering Wilde's famous saying: When I was young, I thought money was the most important thing, but now that I am older, I find that it is.
He always retaliates. The Malfoy family provoked him time and time again. Old Malfoy withheld the body's original owner's inheritance and refused to return it. Young Malfoy provoked conflicts between the Selwyn siblings. After Hailes became the heir of the family, Joel and her
There is much less time to chat.
Joel didn't know how much property the Malfoy family held, but he had to make the Malfoy family pay some price. This time Riddle's diary asked Lucius to shell out a large sum of money. It seemed that the Malfoy family was still worried about it.
What if I come back two or three more times?
Joel spent most of the weekend in the library with Haylis. He went to the Duel Club on Friday night, which delayed Haylis's study time. She had to catch up this weekend. Not only that, she
I still have to squeeze in time for a date with Joel in Hogsmeade.
In addition, after entering the third grade, three more elective courses were added, and Hailis had even less extracurricular time. She spent two days on weekends writing from morning to night before barely finishing the papers she had accumulated.
After she finished writing the research paper on Muggle electricity assigned by the Muggle Studies professor, she stopped the pen and rubbed her wrist, and looked at Joel who was sitting opposite her and holding "The Great Spells of the Past Two Hundred Years".
He seemed a little sleepy, his eyes were half-closed, his expression was tired, and his hair had been rubbed into a bird's nest shape at some point, which gave him a sense of decadent beauty.
As the time approached eight o'clock, Haylis began to pack her schoolbag. She said softly to Joel: "Thank you for staying with me so late every day."
"It's not hard, it's not hard," Joel blinked and closed the book in his hand, "Is it hard to spend time with your girlfriend?"
Haylis pursed her lips and snickered. She threw the heavy textbook into her bag, then used a floating spell to lighten the weight slightly, carried it on her back and followed Joel out of the library.
"If you come to the library to study in the future, be sure to call me," Joel looked at his girlfriend, "I will accompany you no matter how busy you are."
"The road at night is too dangerous." The main reason Joel did not say out loud was that Riddle's diary was now in Lucius's hands again. He was not sure whether Lucius wanted to continue with the plan. Thinking about it now, he still regrets it. How could he not have predicted it at the time?
Will Lucius bribe the Wizengamot to interfere with the verdict?
"Actually, I came here mainly because I was afraid that you would be bored." Haylis lowered her head and watched her and Joel's shadows elongate, overlap, and intertwine under the candlelight. She felt silly in her heart, "If in Ravenc
If you use the common room, you won't find anything interesting to read."
"I'm not afraid of being bored. I can look at your cute face all day long." Joel quickly caught up with the topic and started talking about love. "From now on, the two of us will stay in the self-study area in the common room. There are still
Be quiet."
Hailis's fair face was stained with a thin layer of blush, like rouge spreading layer by layer on the warm white jade.
She parted her lips and whispered something, but Joel was immersed in thinking about how to stab the Malfoy family in the back and didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" he asked Haylis softly, frowning.
Hailis lowered her head suddenly, and her ears were now flushed red.
"Forget it if you didn't hear me..." Haylis pretended to be an ostrich.
"No, I want to listen." Joel was not really curious, but mainly because he felt a little sympathy for Haylis's shy appearance and wanted to tease her.
"Oops..." Haylis was stopped by him in the middle of the tower stairs, and was in a dilemma. She usually seemed very bold when chatting with Joel, but in fact she was just like a snail, very scared, and would retreat into her shell at every turn.
Be silent.
"I said..." She coughed slightly, "You are also very cute in my eyes."
The voice is gentle but also has a bit of seriousness and dignity in British English.
What, are you pretending to be cute?
But Joel's heart was struck by her light words, and it trembled slightly, sending a signal to Joel's brain.
But his mind was empty and his eyes were soft, "Promise me, Hailis, you won't say such things to others."
Hailis glanced at him and knew from his expression that he was also a little shy and became bolder. The snail slowly stretched out his head to peek into the outside world.
"Of course, do you think I'm very casual?" She suddenly turned cold.
"No, no...that's not what I meant." Joel responded hastily.
As soon as he said these words, Joel realized that he had been tricked by Hailis. He started tickling her and made her cheeks flush before letting her go.
Everything is on track and time flies by, but countless conspiracies are taking root and sprouting in the dark, ready to reveal their sharp fangs and aim at their targets.
