Chapter 135: For the sake of honor, let's duel
After returning to the castle, Shea did not show anything unusual, Shea had always kept a low profile, and in the Hogwarts school, like many Ravenclaw students, he was not noticed and rarely paid attention to others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the hallway, Xie An met Luna, who was wearing a black school uniform and a beautiful red berry headdress on Luna's head, and the two went to breakfast together. Corn flakes and milk, as well as some cookies, fruit, and today's breakfast looks delicious. Xie An ate some cookies, which were very sweet.
Penelope Crivat sat across from Shea and looked at Shaan very seriously. Xie An looked back strangely. "Andrew, did you do something big this morning?" asked Penelope Crivat, solemnly.
Xie An continued to eat his own cookies with a blank face, if this morning, his research on the six-page book did make new progress, but no one knew about it.
However, these wizards should not know about it, and they will not care about it, they only want to know about the gossip about the school witches and wizards. So Shea knew that Penelope Crivat was trying to ask about Cedric Diggory. Xie An didn't want to say.
"All the prefects are saying that you defeated Cedric Diggory and sent him flying, and he was powerless. During the winter break, Cedric Diggory was trained in wizarding duels, and he didn't even resist a single attack under your men. Penelope Crivat said cautiously. Of course, in the eyes of others, Cedric Diggory wanted to steal Andrew Lee's girlfriend, and the two fought a public duel for the Quidditch princess of Ravenclaw, which is the truth of the matter.
"Really, Andy, you defeated Cedric Diggory!" Luna said in surprise. Cedric Diggory is not only a prefect, several grades older than Shea, but Cedric Diggory is also a legendary figure in the wizarding school, one of the most gifted wizards.
Xie An finished the remaining half of the cookies, feeling the sugar on his tongue bring an illusion of satisfaction, and nodded lightly, "I didn't beat anyone." ”
Penelo Crivat chuckled softly, "Andrew, you would be considered proud, you know?! But you really surprised us. Cedric Diggory arrived at the Quidditch pitch this morning in a fit of rage, as if someone had told you about the two of you. Although they didn't hear your conversation, everyone was curious to see that Qiu was also on the side. I didn't expect Andrew to be angry at the crown. ”
"Cedric Diggory tried to hold me. I removed those who stood in my way. So much for. There is nothing to be proud of. Xie An continued to eat his breakfast indifferently.
"Why didn't Autumn train in Quidditch today, you know, Autumn is the hardest working one. Today, for the first time, she didn't go to early training and asked Captain Quidditch to take a leave of absence. It is not certain whether I will go to class in the morning. Penelo Crivat said narrowly.
Xie An frowned and did not answer.
In the first class in the morning, Qiu really didn't go to class. Xie An focused his attention on the ancient magic pattern. I have to say that these strange symbols are really annoying. Some of the magic patterns need to be seen in a special way. Some magic patterns need to be thought of from a three-dimensional space, and such a complex course is simply impossible for ordinary young wizards to understand. Hermione is really amazing because all of her classes are excellent.
After class, some students pointed at Xie An, who was sitting in the back row, thinking that the early events had spread in the school. Hallie Black, who was sitting in front of Xie An, couldn't help but glance back at Xie An, "I heard that you defeated a very powerful prefect, is it true?"
Xie An shook his head without raising his head. He didn't want to waste time explaining something inconsequential.
"Doesn't it mean to shake your head?"
Xie An nodded.
"That's not right. There have been many people who have seen you duel Cedric Diggory head-on, and he has been knocked away by your magic without stopping you. Are so many of them blind? There are several Quidditch players among them, and they have good eyes. ”
"Hmm. Xie An replied with a simple word.
At this time, an owl flew into the classroom with a red letter in its mouth. Everyone looked at the owl curiously, and owls are generally not allowed in the classroom.
An angry huge boy's voice came out of the envelope as a roaring letter, also with a powerful content: "I, Cedric Diggory, in my own name, formally propose a duel to Andrew Lee, in the manner and place of Andrew's choice, and the time is set for this weekend!"
All the students watched in amazement as the shouting letter spontaneously combusted and then turned into a pile of ashes.
In the early days of Hogwarts School, duels between students were allowed and legal, and the school acquiesced in such behavior. In recent generations, there is no intention of prohibiting private duels between students.
Duels between wizards have similar rules to those between Muggles, with the difference that duels between wizards are more dangerous and deadly. Back in Sheay's first year, he used to easily beat Ron Weasley. When Cedric Diggory heard his war letter, the students became excited.
"Cedric Diggory was really defeated, wow, I didn't expect to hear that Andrew was only a second-year student! Cedric Diggory didn't seem to stick to his next move. ”
"How do you know, you saw that?"
"Don't you see, as a Ravenclaw, you don't even have the most basic reasoning skills? If Cedric Diggory hadn't been annoyed, he wouldn't have been able to wait to duel Andrew, which was clearly to save face. ”
"That's right, but can Andrew really beat Cedric Diggory? I mean, it's hard to believe that a junior can beat a prefect in a fair play. ”
"You forgot about Andrew. He beat Draco Malfoy in Slytherin with his fists, and Ron Weasley in Gryffindor in a magical duel. Speaking of which, apart from Hufflepuff, Andrew has already dominated two houses. ”
"yes, that's true to hear you say that. Andrew is usually too low-key, and if he wasn't a caring person, he wouldn't notice him at all. But when you think about it, he's really good. And that Quidditch match, Andrew seemed to help our Quidditch team win, I remember, it was so exciting. "Ravenclaw has always been a gathering of smart people, such hands-on things, they usually disdain, today suddenly found that there is actually a student in Ravenclaw who can defeat the other three houses with his fist wand, and each of them has become a dueling maniac.
Speaking of which, it seems that the reason why the two people are hostile to each other is also because of Qiu Zhang. Haha, now you can see it. ”
"What the hell is the reason, why is there a Quidditch princess here, I just got up and came to class, and everyone was talking about it all the way. Tell me about it!"
The contrast between the excitement of the students and the calmness of Xie An was strong. Xie An didn't seem to hear the battle letter of the roaring letter. In fact, for Xie An, such a war book really has no meaning at all.
But Xie An hated it.
Hermione and Luna both looked at Shea worriedly, "What class is this afternoon, is there any extracurricular class, or can you take a class directly with Cedric Diggory?" Shay asked Hermione.
Hermione hurriedly checked her class schedule and found that there were no extracurricular classes in the afternoon class, and there was no class to meet with Cedric Diggory, but there was a flying lesson in the class tomorrow morning, and she could meet Cedric Diggory.
"Not today, tomorrow. ”
Xie An wrote a few words on the parchment with those quills, and then Xie An folded the paper into a paper airplane, and Xie An gently threw the plane out.
"Andrew, you—" Hermione wanted to say something with some apprehension.
"Don't worry, Hermione, Cedric Diggory isn't worth mentioning to me. Xie An said coldly.
"Hmph, you're so proud to be convicted. Be careful, I've heard that Cedric Diggory's abilities are not much worse than those of the average adult wizard. Cedric Diggory was heading for the Ministry of Magic. Halle Black couldn't get used to Xie An's indifferent expression, thinking that it was a mockery, a kind of contempt, but in fact, Xie An didn't mean that at all.
Xie An said: "I understand that everyone needs a mask, and it can save a lot of trouble. For me, though, wearing the mask for too long can affect my perception. ”
"What did you say?" Harley Black didn't understand, and Luna nodded, maybe only Luna knew what it was like to be crazy and stupid and wear a mask all day. Luckily, she met Andrew, and luckily she had her own little dream of becoming a wizard robe designer!
Xie An did not explain further.
When the paper airplane came out of the classroom, the Flitwick classroom happened to see that the classroom seemed to want to pull the paper airplane bar down, and finally did nothing.
In the afternoon, almost everyone in the school knew about the duel between Cedric Diggory and Andrew Lee. When Shea Ann walked down the hallway with Luna Hallie Black, almost all of the students would look at him. The twins also secretly made a bet on how long Cedric Diggory would last in Andrew's hands.
"George, do you think they can guess?" said Freys, happily discussing with his other self as he took the silver sike and bronze nut.
"Haha, you don't see a lot of Hufflepuff students getting angry, I think most of them think Andrew won Cedric Diggory by sneak attack, and I guess a lot of people still think that way, we're going to make a lot of money this time. George said.
"Then why don't we directly take who wins the two as a handicap, isn't that easier to earn?"
"No, that's too easy. And you see, most of the people who think Andrew will win have a little understanding of Andrew, and they will think that Andrew is strong and can easily beat Cedric Diggory, and those who are not optimistic about Andrew will of course think that Cedric Diggory will win, and only the two of us know Andrew's strength and his character! This is the most important thing. ”
"What do you mean?
"What do you say, my brother. The two laughed wickedly.

"Minerva, I heard something big happened at the school today?" Dumbledore asked in a calm voice, sitting a little tired in his high-backed chair.
Severus Snape was using the Headmaster's apparatus to concoct a potion, which seemed to be complicated, and Professor McGonagall looked at the wound on Dumbledore's arm with some concern, this was the first time Professor McGonagall had seen Dumbledore injured. The chief wizard of the Wizengamot is immensely powerful, almost a symbol of invincibility. Professor McGonagall had witnessed the duel between Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, and even in the heat of the battle, Dumbledore was unharmed. But this time, Dumbledore was actually injured for the first time, and there was a short cut on the outside of his arm.
"Don't worry, Minerva, it's just that the Divine Blade Spell didn't dodge in time and was scratched. Dumbledore smiled comforting Professor McGonagall.
"Albus, what have you been up to lately, can't you leave these dangerous things to the more professional Aurors, Amelia Bones, Moody who are no worse than you in combat, why do you have to take the risk yourself?" Professor McGonagall said angrily.
"You're right, I'm getting old. But in this matter, I have to do it myself. It's not that I don't believe in the abilities of Amelia Bones' Aurors, they are all powerful and more professional, but they haven't seen the Dark Lord for what he really is, and I'm afraid they will be bewitched by the Dark Lord. Those youths are always easily persuaded by some excuses that seem good. Quirinus Quirrell, such a good Slytherin, had fallen like this. I'm afraid other wizards have followed Quirrell's footsteps. Dumbledore confessed.
"Even if you have some truth in what you say, but what about Moody, Amelia Bones herself, you can let them help you, there are many wizards who hate the Dark Lord and will never turn to him, why not unite with them and let them help you?" Professor McGonagall asked reproachfully.
"Minerva, I've thought about what you're talking about. But there are some things that can't be made public for the time being, and if the Dark Lord's secret is revealed, I'm afraid more Dark Lords will appear. During this time, I also wondered why Voldemort was born so quickly after Gellert Grindelwald's defeat, and if we really did something wrong!?" Dumbledore said with some tiredness.
