Chapter 1232: Price Increase
After breakfast, when the little lions hurried to the dueling arena, the professor and teaching assistant had not yet arrived, which made Ron, who was still apprehensive about Ginny's statement.
Noticing that there was no one standing next to Hermione, Ginny pulled Harry over to her, and Lavender squinted and pouted as he wrapped Ron's arm tightly and pulled him to the other side.
"Congratulations to Hermione, you won the most terrifying residential award by a landslide, and you deserved it. Ginny leaned in over Hermione with a smile on her face, "Daddy heard those rumors, or we'd come over, but I'll just vote for you." β
"Thank you so much!" Hermione turned around with her arms crossed, looking dazed.
"Speaking of which, they are all rumoring that your family scared at least thirty wizards to death on Halloween night..."Ginny was very satisfied when she saw Hermione's somewhat fried expression, "Of course I know this is a rumor..."Seeing Hermione relax, Ginny deliberately asked in a low voice, "But you have to tell me quietly, how much did you scare to death?"
"It's been more than thirty years since the price went up?!!!," Hermione shook her fluffy hair, "I didn't scare any of them to death!, I stunned two....and then it was inexplicably rumored to be dead, and now there are more and more!" Her tone was very aggrieved, "Even Gryffindor people are scared, as if I would eat people... Obviously, the Grindelwald family just ate people..."
"So the scaring part is true?" said Harry, surprised, "what did you make your house?"
β... I won't even carve jack-o'-lanterns next year," Hermione pursed her lips, "The professor is here." β
The sound of the motorcycle sounded, as if pinching the dots, and Penelope sped into the dueling arena, flicking his tail and stopping in the middle of the arena, one long leg propped up on the ground.
The class fell silent, and the wizards reflexively gathered in line, standing up straight, with their hands behind their backs. Several assistant coaches also hurried to the dueling arena and stood behind Penelope.
"Very well, it seems that you have some improvements. Penelope stepped off the motorcycle with long legs, and the voice spread throughout the dueling arena, "Continue the confrontation reaction training today, I have observed your recent duel on campus, what dark wizard did you really meet, I suspect you will not survive for three seconds... You're so slow to react to spells, and you're standing there stupidly like a fixed target, expecting the enemy to wait for you to use the defensive spell before they hit you? And the accuracy of the spell, someone doesn't aim at what shield... Waiting for someone to bounce off yourself with an iron armor spell?"
The wizards skillfully and resignedly divided into groups of two and began to train spontaneously, and although they did not dare to make any doubts or complaints, most of their faces showed painful expressions - this kind of confrontation training, one side attacked, and the other side could not use magic to defend but rely on the body.
And once hit by the spell, although the power of the spell has been reduced through Eren's special wand and the robe of the ancient magic class on his body, it will still make people feel the pain caused by the spell to some extent, and because of the reduced power, the practice of the spell will continue until the end of the class, that is, if it is not flexible, like Neville, this pain will continue from the class to the end of the class.
And if they want to survive this class by cheating, by letting their collaborators release water, then once they are discovered, they will be more miserable training and punishment.
However, the students didn't feel much pain today, a figure that was rarely seen in the school this semester suddenly appeared next to the dueling arena, the indifferent expression on Penelope's face changed, she quickly walked up, her lips raised, "Why are you here? I still have to teach them..."
"I'm sorry Professor Krivat... I'll have to delay your class a bit...", the Headmaster of Hogwarts said apologetically, "I need Draco for something, Penelope. β
Allen's eyes searched the crowd that didn't dare to stop because the professor didn't shout to stop, and soon saw Draco who was fighting against Zabini, judging from the situation and movements, it seemed that Malfoy's heir had been practicing well recently, he and Draco looked at each other, and then beckoned to the little ferret.
Receiving a call from the school's higher-ups, Draco and Zabini thought that this was a good fit for discipline, so they dared to stop the confrontation.
Alan raised his hand and made a gesture to Malfoy to make him wait, and then looked at the Charms Combat Class professor: "Penelope, inform the doctor or the fat man to come over and substitute for the teacher, I still have some things that you need to deal with..."
"Want to see me transform again?" Penelope's expression was a little tangled, on the one hand, he was a little happy that the other party didn't dislike his Animagus form, but on the other hand, he felt that the other party seemed to like her humanoid form recently, and it was a little awkward...
"Ahem! Of course not!" Alan choked on himself by the other party's misunderstanding, and he coughed dryly to make himself face and show the upbringing he should show, "Official..."
Hearing that it was official business, Penelope instantly put away his twist, turned back to the students, and shouted, "You can stop first! β
This change has also attracted more students to start looking in the direction of Allen's side, but the recent classroom discipline has prevented students from speaking casually without shouting a report in this class.
"Oh, don't worry about your professors and classmates, I just need their help with some things..."Alan tilted his head and smiled kindly, "Also, fortunately, my recent attempt to switch to the ancient spells you can cast is almost successful, and with it, I guess your professors will want to increase your speed in casting defensive spells in the future rather than relying on physical strength to dodge." β
This caused the young wizards to turn their attention away from Malfoy, and the excitement on their faces was palpable.
It's been a long time since Alan had been the Headmaster to teach them magic, and the spells he had passed down as a professor had already proven useful in their duels with each otherβand now promised them a return to a mode of more defensive casting rather than dodging like a Muggle, which was perfect for many wizards who were fatter and inflexible, and had a large target area.
The headmaster taught the three students to walk out of the dueling arena and stopped in front of the circular columns.
"Draco, your father, Lucius, for providing the Ministry of Magic with some very important evidence of the pure-blood family's collusion with Voldemort... As an act of extermination and revenge, just now, he was assassinated in the hospital by some pure-blood families who have no moral bottom line, he..."
"Ahh?!!!h
"Your father's hospital room today was anonymously sent a camouflaged poisonous tentacle in the name of ordinary landscape plants, and also sprinkled some volatile but paralyzing venom into the flower bones, trying to strangle and poison Lucius in this way..."Alan explained that he was only halfway through his explanation, and Malfoy pulled his sleeve.
"Draco, you should learn to calm down... I'll be able to tell you more sooner..."Alan reassured, "Victor, as a professional, easily spotted this plant, and Lucius had nothing to do but be a little frightened again. β
"But you called me outβ" The Malfoy heir's throat seemed to be gagged, and his mind became more and more difficult to understand what he was trying to say.
"I'm not really worried about the Umbrella and the Ministry of Magic protecting your father, but if their assassination attempt against your father is unsuccessful, it is very likely that they will turn around and target you and threaten him. Alan met Draco's calm gaze, "So I think putting your whole family together for the time being will give you both peace of mind." β
"Hogwarts is the safest place in the world. Draco said confidently, "Alan, help me protect my mom and dad..."
"They've actually done some work against you, but they've all been spotted right inside the city... But it's like a fly on and on... I can guarantee safety, but it's not good if they affect other students..."Alan was not stingy with patience for his diehards, he patted Draco on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, I basically haven't invited anyone to our new home, so this time your family encounters this kind of thing, why don't you come to your new home on the island of the lake for a few days... Rest assured, the information provided by your father is valuable."
