Holy Grail 4 (Reversed): New Problem.

Hogwarts Potions Classroom

、

Thursday's Potions class was the same as usual. In the Potions classroom, twenty cauldrons for cooking potions are arranged in a row on a wooden table, on which are placed brass rulers and jars containing potions.

Snape paced through the potion smoke rising from the cauldron, mocking the clumsy Gryffindor students who had made mistakes with a smooth and creative twist, while the little snakes of Slajerlin, who had basically finished their cooking homework, waited to see the stupid lions' jokes.

[Draco, aren't you bored......]

After completing Professor Snape's potion steps with Draco, leaving only the last step to heat up, Opal yawned half-covered.

"If you're bored, just lie down for a while, and I'll finish the next heating."

Looking at Opal's appearance, Draco sighed a little helplessly, "You won't be an all-nighter last night, will you?" ”

[No way, it can't be done if the urgent file is not processed.] Draco also knew that there were things that people really couldn't control. ]

Although many things can be said to be self-inflicted, she can finally help Riddle, so although she is so busy that sometimes she wishes that it is 48 hours a day, Opal is willing.

"While it's important to get family approval, you also need to pay more attention to your own body."

Draco could only verbally say that Opal was not good at this point, "Otherwise, if your body collapses, it will be difficult to do." ”

[Rest assured, Draco.] ]

Opal just shrugged his shoulders at this, [I know my own body, it's going to be fine.] ]

"Hopefully. But sometimes I still think that Opal is trying too hard. ”

[I see Draco, you have a tendency to look up to Pansy too!] ]

“@#%￥%……”

Opal and Draco whispered as they spoke, not noticing a black figure who had just walked past them, pausing without a trace, but then returning to normal, continuing to spit venom at Neville, who belonged to Gryffindor and was already recognized as hairy.

"Look at your potion, Longbottom-san. I really don't know how much genius it takes to make a pungent potion with a strong smell so tasteless, or if you just want to challenge other people's IQ and boil a pot of water to get by......"

Just as Neville was trembling at the moment, Harry, after glancing at Hermione, took out a firecracker from Fred from his pocket under the cover of the cauldron in front of him, lit it with his wand, and quickly raised his hand and threw it in the direction of Slytherin.

But he found out that the firecracker was not good the moment it was fired - originally he just wanted to throw it in any corner to cause a riot, but when he shot it, he was burned by sparks, causing the firecracker to fly directly to Draco and Opal who were talking at the moment.

Harry probably didn't feel much guilt if he had only hurt Draco - after all, he and Ron had a lot of-for-tat scenes, and even cheated them quite a few times. But if he hurt Opal, who often helped them, then Harry felt that he would never be able to get past himself in the first place.

But the thing had already been thrown out, and if he had been reminded of it, he would have been pitted straight into it, so the plan to get the potions materials in Snape's office would have been in vain......

While Harry was struggling, Opal, who was half-lying on the table talking to Draco, was facing the direction of the firecracker that was thrown over, so her eyes swept over Harry with a panicked face, and she didn't say anything, she got up and raised her hand directly, and accurately grabbed the firecracker into her hand, and at the same time used her own magic power to force out the sparks on the firecracker.

"Huh? Opar, what's wrong with you? Suddenly up ......"

Draco, who had no idea that he had been "attacked" because he was facing away from the firecracker, was confused by Opal's sudden uprightness.

[There is a bug......]

Throwing the firecracker in his hand into the waste basket under the table, Opal's blood-red eyes casually swept over Harry and Hermione, who were in a cold sweat at the moment, and sat down again before Snape turned around. ]

"Where are the bugs coming from in the winter?"

Draco sweated profusely on his head, but seeing that Opal didn't want to say anything, he could only roll his eyes and complain half-truthfully, "I don't know why you're taking care of those stupid lions so much, it's obviously a great opportunity for them to deduct points." ”

Although I don't know what Opar caught was the stupid lion of Gryffindor, but obviously Opal didn't want to investigate, and he didn't want to be bored, but there was still a grudge - sure enough, because of the "secret room" in recent times, the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor has been a lot less related, so that the group of stupid lions have the illusion that they can climb on Slytherin's head?

[I say...... Haven't you gotten tired of this kind of petty trick? ]

Opal was just helpless at Draco's complaints.

"You know, with the recent martial law, don't you think it's a good retraction to find some amusement for those energetic stupid lions?"

[Bad.] ]

Because he knew the methods used by the little snakes in his own academy for "entertainment", Opal only silently cried tears of sympathy for some Gryffindor students who did not know that a catastrophe was coming.

But it's strange......

Glancing at Harry, who had shrunk back like a defeated rooster at the moment, Apal narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly.

With Harry's character, he probably wouldn't have made such a flawed "prank...... Could it be that there is something wrong?

====================== I am ================== dividing line of the passage of time

Hogwarts Great Hall

、

Although he was curious about Harry's actions in Potions class, Opal never got the opportunity to go to Harry and ask him what was going on.

It wasn't until a week later that a newly posted notice appeared on the Hogwarts bulletin board about the opening of the Dueling Club, which was at 8 p.m. that night.

As for this announcement, the Slytherin snakes were dismissive - the scale of their house challenge, and the level of competition between them on weekdays, I don't know how much higher than this club, do they still use the vase in Lockhart's vase, the parallel goods in parallel goods?

It can be said that if it weren't for Snape, one of the teachers in the first phase of the Dueling Club, Slytherin House Snake would have preferred to stay in the common room in a daze than participate in this so-called "Dueling Club".

At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone came to the specially opened auditorium, where the long dining table was now gone, replaced by a glittering golden stage against the wall, with thousands of candles lit, and the ceiling changed to a dark purple according to the occasion, and the entire training class was covered underneath.

It's just that compared to the Gryffindor students with excited faces and wands, chattering about their teachers, the Slytherin snakes are all in a mood.

Then, to the sound of music, Professor Lockhart walked on stage halfway down the catwalk, dressed in his best robes. Beside him was a reluctant, straight-faced Snape, dressed in his usual black robes.

"Concentrate, gather together! Will each of you be able to see me? Can you hear me? Great! ”

Standing on the stage, Lockhart waved his arms - he felt at home to see such a scene, "Now, Professor Dumbledore has given my permission to open a fighting club to train you in case you need to defend yourself, as I have done countless times - the details can be seen in my writings." Then let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape. ”

After he said this, the Gryffindor students could be clearly heard gasping, but Lockhart was still smiling, "He told me that he knows a lot about martial arts, and promised to provide some temporary help before we start, and now, I don't want to worry you young men - you'll still have your Potions teacher when I defeat him - but don't be afraid!" ”

"Defeat the Godfather? Just him?! ”

Draco snorted through his nose.

[I'm more curious about what he said about Professor Snape......]

Opal looked at Snape, who was about to drip ink on the stage, with a black face, with interest, [It can't be that Principal Dumbledore is being forced, right?] ]

It's really, really, very likely, and she can even imagine what Dumbledore would say - nothing more than what it was about cultivating students' fighting consciousness......

As for the battle that was already taking place on the stage after the salute had already taken place, she really didn't bother to watch it at the moment - because it was obvious how it would turn out.

"So I really don't understand what the principal is thinking, how did he find some vases of this level."

Draco also looked away from the stage, pouting with a look of interest, "What I learned at home is better than what I was taught at school. ”

[They teach, we learn, it's that simple.] ]

Opal was noncommittal.

At that moment, a red light flashed along with the incantation of "Expelliarmus" (except your weapon), and Lockhart was unsurprisingly knocked away by Snape and slammed headlong into the decorative wall on the edge of the stage.

"Hmm...... It hurts so much when I see it......"

Brace, who had slipped past Draco and Opal, shrunk his neck and was speechless, "I bet the Dean must have deliberately increased the mana output, otherwise it wouldn't have had this effect." ”

"Nonsense, isn't it."

Pansy, who was on the sidelines, scoffed at Blaise's hindsight, "The next step should be the group, and I think we're probably going to be playing against Gryffindor in a group - then again, sandbag beating isn't fun at all." ”

[You should also pay a little attention, don't beat the sandbag without beating the sandbag, it will be laughed at...... Well, when I didn't say. ]

Although he was quite confident in the level of his group of friends, Opal still kindly reminded him, but he could only shrug his shoulders when he got three big white eyes.

Over there, Lockhart, who had returned to the stage, grouped the students in the hall like no one else. And sure enough, as Pansy said, it was Gryffindor and Slytherin who partnered with each other.

Opal's opponent was Hermione, Draco's opponent was Ron, Blaise was facing Harry, and Pansy was facing a Gryffindor girl who wasn't very famous. It can be said that with the exception of a few, almost all of the Slytherin students present had a wicked smile on their lips - after all, there were not many chances to beat the stupid Gryffindor lion in the light.

Finding a place in the hall as instructed, Opal smiled at Hermione without the slightest anger, which eased Hermione's expression a little, but only for a few seconds.

[I don't know why you and Harry wanted to cause a riot in Potions class, but ......]

When she and Hermione were back-to-back, after sending out such a message in a voice that only the two of them could hear, Opal looked so calm that it didn't come from her, [I don't think mixing potions in the bathroom is a very secret thing.] ]

You know, in the past two days, the magic plants near the women's bathroom on the second floor have complained to her about this matter.

"What!"

Stunned for a moment by hearing something unexpected, Hermione reacted immediately - but it was too late, and Opal, who had already taken three steps, didn't even turn around, and his backhand was an "incarcerous" followed by an "expelliarmus" (in addition to your weapon). While restricting Hermione's movements, it also made the wand in her hand fly out of her hand.

The whole process is not even 10 seconds.

Opal's side could be described as a quick one, and the other pairings were basically over the fight within a minute - it can be said that almost all of them were won by the Slytherin Snakes.

Except for Draco and Ron, who somehow twisted together, the two almost simply threw their wands aside and started hand-to-hand combat, until Snape and Lockhart separated them one by one - but Opal swore she had seen Draco, who had always had the upper hand, very stealthily kick Ron in the inner thigh as he left, causing Ron to bow over like a fried shrimp.

Draco, what about your aristocratic demeanor?

Opal, whose gaze drifted away from there, looked up at the sky speechlessly, but was immediately drawn to the conversation between Lockhart and Snape - Lockhart proposed that Gryffindor and Slytherin students be put on stage for a combat demonstration, and Snape proposed Draco and Harry after vetoing Lockhart's candidates.

[It's really troublesome.] ]

After picking up the wand that had fallen on the ground and handing it to Draco, Opal looked at Draco with some helplessness as his eyes sparkled and obviously eager to try, and the idea of trying to persuade Draco to restrain a little bit immediately vanished - just kidding, pouring cold water on other people's heads was a big hate, and she had no intention of being cannon fodder.

Although Draco was only ravaged against her, in terms of combat level, Draco could be regarded as the second most important existence in Slytherin in the second year of Slytherin, so there was no need to worry about him suffering Harry.

Draco, who had taken the wand, had already stepped onto the stage, standing opposite Harry, smiling and looking at Harry with a hesitant expression, waiting for Lockhart to start fighting.

“serpensortia！” (Oolong out of the hole)

As soon as Lockhart announced the start, Draco used the spell. The end of his wand exploded, and a black snake shot out of it, slamming heavily on the floor and striking Harry. Opal pressed her forehead helplessly—she finally knew what Draco had been doing mysteriously lately.

The crowd around the stage quickly retreated, and from time to time someone screamed.

Just as Snape was about to undo Draco's spell, Lockhart took the lead and waved his wand at the snake, making a thumping sound.

But instead of disappearing, the snake rose 10 feet high and fell back to the floor with a loud bang. The snake, apparently sore from the fall, hissed furiously and attacked Opal directly in front of him.

{Leave her!} }

[incarcerous！ ]

After giving himself a "protego" (armor amulet), Opal's spell to imprison the snake and Harry's snake language rang out at about the same time.

Then Opal looked at Harry, who didn't seem to know what he was talking about, in surprise - if she heard it right, it was the same snake language as Riddle, right? Why is this happening?
