Chapter 41: Dueling Club
The second day after the Quidditch match, at eight o’clock in the evening, the first duel club started.
Moriarty, Lilith, and Jericho came to the auditorium.
The long dining table disappeared, and along one wall appeared a gilded, spacious stage, lit by hundreds of candles floating above.
The ceiling became as dark as velvet, setting off the brilliance of the stage. Almost all the students in the school came, huddling one by one. Everyone held their wand and looked at the stage excitedly.
“Who doesn’t want to stand up and have a duel? If I say, the school should have an award called the ‘Duel King’! The students who win the award will add a hundred points to their academy!” Jericho seems to be obsessed recently In the limelight, he eagerly squeezed into the crowd.
With him leading the way, Moriarty and the others walked into the chattering crowd smoothly.
William, Leon and other senior students of the college stood there and saw Moriarty coming, William extended his hand and greeted: “Come here! See more clearly!”
Moriarty walked into the circle of seniors, swept over the crowd without leaving a trace, and then exchanged glances with Leon: Bill Weasley still didn’t show up!
“Professor Flitwick is here!”
I don’t know who made a cry, the crowd quieted down, and the students looked back to make way for Professor Flitwick.
In order to let more students see himself, Professor Flitwick floated himself, and he floated onto the stage: “The children gathered around, in order for everyone to be proficient in using magic spells and have practical experience, I applied to Professor Dumbledore Start this little dueling club.”
The students applauded: “Thank you, Professor!”
Professor Flitwick nodded: “Okay, before that, you need to know the culture and history of wizard duels – it is a formal contest between two or more people in wizard culture, and only magic can be used.
Ah, I know someone’s going to raise their hands and ask, isn’t Gryffindor a duel with Slytherin with a sword? There is also Merlin and King Arthur, and King Arthur also holds a sword. ”
The students nodded frequently, and Flitwick smiled: “Remember strength, children, great strength will stop everyone, although Professor Dumbledore doesn’t want me to say this, but learning spells is also to make us change. powerful.”
Seeing the students quiet down, Flitwick’s eyes searched in the crowd: “Mr. Moriarty, please come up and give us a demonstration with me.”
Moriarty walked onto the stage amid applause and stood on both sides of the stage with Professor Flitwick. Professor Flitwick said, “Before the duel begins, the wizards on both sides usually bow to each other as a courtesy.”
After bowing, they held their wands to their chests like arrows, and Professor Flitwick said to the students, “This is the end of the duel etiquette, and now, let me count—one—two— -three!”
Moriarty and Professor Flitwick raised the wand over their shoulders at the same time, and Professor Flitwick said softly, “Remove your weapons!”
A dazzling red light appeared from the tip of his staff, and Moriarty said calmly, “Armor!”
An invisible shield stood in front of Moriarty, reflecting a red light, hitting the ceiling.
“Oh boy, an excellent Iron Armor Charm! Give Slytherin 10 points!” Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and said to the lower graders: “The two spells just now: Disarming your weapon, the Disarming Charm, will make the opponent’s weapon or any item to take off.
The armor used by Moriarty, the Iron Armor Spell, I ask you to remember this spell, because it will save our lives at critical moments, and it can reflect most of the spells. ”
After the demonstration was over, Moriarty walked off the stage, and Professor Flitwick said, “Now it’s time for you to group, children, do you want to group freely or do you want me to group?”
“Of course it’s a free combination!” The students said in unison, and then smiled and communicated with their acquaintances.
Leon said loudly: “William! You know I’ve been upset with you for a long time, come on, fight me! If you’re still a Slytherin!”
“I thought you would never dare to duel with me in your life.” William sneered a few times and jumped onto the stage.
“Hey! Percy?” Jericho waved to the area where the little lions were. “How about we have a game?”
Percy took out his wand: “Good idea, I’ll beat you, watch it!”
Watching Percy take to the stage, the little lions also set the challenge on the little snake, Oliver Wood challenged Marcus Flint, Keith and Ralbo were also challenged away.
There are already more than 100 dueling teams on the stage now. Fortunately, the stage is large enough to not limit the performance of the little wizards.
But most of the students still set their sights on William and Leon, who are almost the top group of students.
“I’ll give you a golden Galleon and bet on Prefect William to win.” Lilith said quietly, standing beside Moriarty.
Moriarty shook his head and smiled: “Everyone knows that you and Leon had a holiday.”
Lilith snorted and looked at Moriarty with eager eyes. Just when she wanted to challenge Moriarty, she suddenly heard Penello’s voice!
“Lilith Piliwick, if I challenge you, will you fight?”
Penello stood behind Lilith with her chest raised up, her hands behind her back and her wand in her hands.
Lilith had to stop her thoughts. After looking at Penello, she raised her head noblely: “You know, you don’t look like a good opponent! But I will fight, so that you can see this clearly.”
“Then, I’ll wait and see.” Penello smiled, but no one thought she was very happy.
The students quickly made way and watched the two best witches from the first year walk onto the stage without giving an inch.
“You have such an aura in the first grade,” Gemma came out of nowhere, walked to Moriarty’s side, and showed a good-looking smile: “What a terrible little woman.”
Moriarty ignored her and focused on the duel between Lilith and Penello, but heard Charlie Weasley’s challenge!
“Mr. Moriarty, I, Charlie Weasley. Gryffindors 4th grader, wand is 12 inches ~www.readwn.com~ ash wood, unicorn tail hair, good at Transfiguration.” Charlie Formally introduced himself, then nodded to Moriarty: “Can we have a duel!”
The little lions beside Charlie burst into applause, and the other students also showed interest. Is this a sequel to the Quidditch match?
Moriarty looked at Charlie, who had the iconic red hair of the Weasley family and dense freckles on his face, but it did not affect his appearance.
Because Charlie’s eyes are pure, like the eyes of a unicorn, it adds a lot to him, maybe that’s why Charlie ended up working outdoors.
Moriarty ended his guessing, he nodded at Charlie, and when he was about to agree, he heard Tonks’ voice again!
“Wait a minute, Moriarty, I have a few words for Charlie.” Tonks walked out of the camp of the little badgers and said to Charlie carelessly, “Hey Charlie! Do you know what is ladies first? I’ll challenge Mr. Moriarty first, do you have an opinion?”
Charlie shook his head with a wry smile: “Well, if Mr. Moriarty agrees, I have no problem.”
“I think so,” Moriarty made a decision: “I will fight Tonks first, and then I will fight you Charlie.”
“Okay, no problem.” Tonks answered cheerfully.
Charlie’s eyes widened: “Can your magic power support you to complete two duels?”
“He’s all right,” Tonks answered Charlie, and she couldn’t wait to pull Moriarty forward without looking back: “As far as magic is concerned, he’s not like a student at all, like as adults.”
Moriarty took her hand: “Nymph, are you really ready? Use the Patronus Charm against my ice snake and ghost snake?”
