Chapter 030: Battle Dance Duel (Part II)

"Professor," Catherine said firmly, tugging at Snape's sleeve, "I'm going to try!" ”

"Stand back!" Snape glanced at her and snorted coldly.

Catherine didn't object, she took ten steps back before she began to wave her wand, and then a black flame also erupted from the tip of her wand, roaring and rushing towards Snape.

Snape waved his wand and dropped another defensive spell to block Catherine's fire, and then calmly retreated to her side before removing the two defensive spells.

The two flames did not collide immediately, but spun and began to deform, Pansy coiled in front of a flaming serpent with a bloody mouth, and in front of Catherine a black phoenix flew up, and they pounced on each other with teeth and claws, biting and grabbing, and finally exploded into sparks that flew all over the ballroom.

"Damn!" Pansy cursed with a low feeling of weakness that was the after-effect of the forced use of super-level magic, and Mr. Parkinson reached out to hold her daughter, but she took a step back to avoid her father's help, gritted her teeth and insisted on standing up straight, because the duel was not over yet.

"Shadowless!" Catherine didn't keep her waiting, she let out a loud cry as an invisible blade shot out from the tip of her staff, shattering the remnants of the fire that stood in her way, pressing against the top of Pansy's head and stabbing into the glass wall behind her.

"Stumbling ——!" With the clear sound of broken glass hitting the floor, Pansy fell straight to the ground.

"I lost!" Pansy closed her eyes and gasped for air, the magic that flew through her hair made her realize how far she was from Catherine.

"You're just making the wrong choice!" Catherine put away her wand and walked over to Pansy, finding the remnants of her prey swooping down on her, only to be extinguished a foot or so from her, "You should choose my weakness, not my strength, even though that's your strength as well." ”

"I've tried to overestimate you, but in the end I've underestimated you." Pansy smiled helplessly, clenching her fists and slamming them hard into the floor.

"So, how about we get acquainted again?" The red-haired girl smiled and held out her left hand, "Catherine!" ”

"Pansy, Pansy Parkinson!" The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment before raising her left hand to hold the other.

"Looking forward to your next fight." Catherine pulls Pansy up from the ground.

"You won't be disappointed!" Pansy looked up proudly.

At this point, this duel between the two girls is officially over.

After making sure that they were in good health, the adults took the time to explain the duel to the children, to make sure that they could understand in the shortest possible time what they should learn and what mistakes they should not make.

At this moment, no adult thought of hiding his secrets, because if he secretly kept one hand, how could he guarantee that others would not keep it? Only by being open and honest can we ensure that our children get the most knowledge.

This is Slytherin, a very selfish and at the same time very generous house, very generous to those who are recognized, whether they share their own position or not; He is very stingy with those who are not recognized, regardless of whether he is on the same side as himself or not.

After dinner, agreeing on a time to leave tomorrow, and paying for the Malfoys Ballroom, Catherine and Snape said goodbye to the others and returned to 17 Spider's Tail Alley.

"What's the last magic?" No sooner had he come out of the fireplace than Snape shouted that he knew the origin of the magic and that Catherine should not be able to use it successfully.

"I saw it in a textbook on Advanced Potions—" Catherine was halfway through her answer when she was interrupted by Snape's rage.

"With just one spell, you dare to cast magic indiscriminately, do you think your pet can really keep you safe and sound all the time?" Snape scolded mercilessly.

"That's your textbook, and I've seen you use it." Catherine pleaded, but Snape was even angrier!

"How dare you combine a spell with a gesture at will, you—" Snape's sarcasm was interrupted by Catherine's abrupt stern words.

"Someone taught me!" The red-haired girl closed her eyes, and the image that flashed in front of her immediately appeared, "I don't know who it is, but when I hear the spells and see the gestures, my mind immediately appears how their magic works." ”

"They?" Snape asked.

"Your 'Blade' and the two spells Pansy wielded." Catherine opened her eyes and looked down at her right hand, in which someone had taught her by hand, "Tracey just slapped me lightly, and I knew exactly how to use them successfully, as if I had practiced them many times." But she couldn't remember who taught her.

"That magic—" Snape stared at Catherine in disbelief, "only two people but me would." ”

Catherine didn't ask who the two men were, and Snape didn't say, and the two of them let silence envelop the room.

"What's the matter with your magic?" Snape suddenly changed the subject, at the beginning of the duel, Catherine kept Tracey on his shoulders until the last three spells, and then let it turn into a phantom to help, you must know that if the blue bird didn't help before, she would never be able to use magic along with it.

"A gift for family inheritance." Catherine wanted to smile, but in the end she pulled out a wry smile, obviously not turning her mind yet.

"So you decided to change." Snape frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Catherine took a deep breath and regained her spirits, "The shape is no longer allowed for me to hide. ”

Catherine looked at her left index finger, and while the ring didn't reveal her true strength when she duel Pansy, its presence itself gave Slytherin a signal that she had to make some choices.

"No matter what happens!" Snape took her right hand and pulled her into his arms, "You can get help from me." ”

"Thank you! Professor! Catherine clenched his hand and closed her eyes to relax the nerves that had been tense today.

At eight o'clock the next morning, when they were about to go out, Snape's face turned ugly when several horses barked outside the door, and Catherine looked out of the window curiously to see a carriage landing in the street.

The carriage is pulled by four vigorous flying horses, all snow-white without a little variegation, the carriage is very extravagant and gorgeous, the ebony body, the gilt pattern, all show the identity of the owner.

"Malfoy of Sauba!" Snape cursed, opened the door and glared at Lucius, who was getting out of the car.

"Severus!" Lucius greeted proudly, not at all feeling that his actions were too frightening for the natives of Spidertail Alley. "Draco is worried you're out of the house!"

"Exactly!" Snape replied indifferently, and with a wave of his wand, he carried Catherine's luggage into the carriage.

"W-that's a real nuisance for you!" Catherine was frustrated by Snape's self-indulgence and had to play as far as she could.

"Ignore him! Let's get over there! Draco is waiting for you! Lucius pointed his staff at the carriage, and the platinum boy was waving at Catherine through the door, but he was blocked by his luggage and could not get out.

"Okay!" Catherine lifted the corner of her skirt and thanked Lucius, then ran to the carriage.

"Surprised?" Draco asked, looking up proudly.

"Indeed!" Catherine looked curiously at the decorations of the carriage, they were obviously magical items, she could clearly feel the strong magic fluctuations coming from the Malfoy family crest, and when she looked closer, she found that the Latin "Sanctimonia-Vincet-Semper" (pure eternal victory) on the silver ribbon actually engraved with special runes on every stroke.

"They're very ancient protective magic arrays." Lucius's voice suddenly rang out beside her.

"I'm sorry, they're so appealing to me!" Catherine straightened up, only to find that Snape was no longer next to Lucius.

"Get in the car!" Lucius beckoned, "Severus is going straight to Hogwarts." ”

Catherine looked at Snape, who had not moved his position, and saw him nod before waving goodbye to him and stepping into the carriage.

The carriage has been magically enlarged enough for a small tea party, and the décor is in the Malfoy family's "black-silver-green" tri-color style, using the finest materials.

As soon as Catherine got into the car, she was pulled by Draco to the window, admiring the scenery outside the window while listening to him explain the performance of the flying carriage and some precautions when using it.

Narcissa uncharacteristically just said hello to Catherine and talked about something with Lucius, but it was obviously not a bad thing, because neither of them had any unusual expressions.

Spider Tail Alley is not far from King's Cross Station, and it is natural to fly quickly, but the platform of Nine and Three-quarters is obviously not inside the station, because it is easy to see from the sky that the Hogwarts Express is stopping outside the station, and there is a huge parking lot next to it, but it is temporarily empty inside.

The Flying Carriage landed smoothly in the center of the parking lot, with Draco being the first to jump out of the car, and then pulling Catherine, who was the second to get out, to the waiting hall.

Although the sign hung in the waiting hall, it was completely the layout of the restaurant, and Draco pulled Catherine to sit in the best position with the best view, and immediately a waiter stepped forward to greet her.

Draco pretended to look at the menu, Catherine looked around curiously, Lucius and Narcissa approached slowly, and as for the two children's luggage, the house-elves had already helped them get into the car.

Since it was still early, they ordered a morning tea and chatted slowly, waiting for Draco and Catherine's classmates.

But it wasn't until after nine o'clock that a second carriage landed in the parking lot, and although the Pegasus pulling the cart was not as extravagant as the Malfoy family, the carriage itself was not much inferior, and it looked like an upper-class family in the wizarding world.

With the arrival of this carriage, the platform of nine and three-quarters suddenly became lively, and from time to time there were "carriages" landing in the parking lot, and the magical creatures pulling the cart were enough to hold an animal exhibition.

There was also a figure in the corner of the waiting hall, it was a medium-sized family who had come directly with a portkey, after all, the cost of a flying carriage was very large, and Catherine thought that she could not maintain this kind of façade for a long time.
