Chapter 024: The First Freshman Gathering (Part II)

"Well, Pansy, here you go." Daphne ran back to her seat and slipped the "microphone" into the coughing brunette girl, while Theodore sat down next to her, prompting a heckling whistle.

The girl named Pansy frowned and glared at the licorice wand in her hand a few times, and then handed it to a stocky girl sitting next to her.

"Bang bang bang!" The loud sound of military boots brought the black-haired girl to the center of the cubicle, "My name is Pansy Parkinson, I was born into a family of dark wizards, my family is not only good at black magic, but also good at martial arts, who wants to compare with me?" ”

Pansy said this, but her eyes were fixed on Catherine, and as soon as Catherine smiled, someone had already taken Pansy's words first.

"How about I try it?" A dark-haired, fair-looking boy stepped forward, "My name is Alan Morn, a red belt in karate, please advise." ”

Alan gave Pansy a karate salute and just stood up straight when the girl punched her in the face.

"You sneak attack!" Alan shouted angrily, and the audience followed suit.

"Oh! I thought you were ready? Pansy's tone sounded innocent, but the expression on her face was full of disdain.

This was so angry that Alan couldn't care about any etiquette anymore, and directly launched an attack.

The biggest feature of karate is that it is powerful, as long as the body cooperates well, it can hit fatal damage, but it also has great shortcomings, the first is that the preparation time of the move is relatively long, and the second is that the recruitment is slow, once it is dodged, it will leave a big flaw. Of course, for the uninitiated, karate can be terrifying.

So as soon as Allen took the initiative to attack, Pansy, who was not familiar with karate, was left with the power to parry. Seeing that Pansy was suppressed by himself, Allen naturally wanted to come up with a big move to play handsome, but unfortunately the speed was too slow, and Pansy caught the flaw between the move conversions, and a set of combination punches down, Allen was directly beaten.

"Anyone else?" Seeing that Alan was no longer powerless to resist, Pansy looked at Catherine again, and this time the others also discovered the purpose of the brunette girl.

"How about we compare our strength?" Catherine smiled and got up to ask.

Pansy didn't answer, but held out her left palm, and Catherine smiled and pressed her left palm up.

"Started?" This kind of secret contest is really not something that most wizards can understand, and they can only guess from Pansy's expression of surprise to face to shock to panic, that she may have fallen behind, because Catherine has not changed at all from beginning to end, and is always smiling, as if they are not testing their strength.

"They're not putting on a show, are they?" Seeing that Pansy's hands had begun to tremble, someone questioned it.

Pansy's response to this question was a black flame erupting from her left arm.

"What's that?" The freshmen asked.

"The secret technique of the Parkinson's family." Ixissi explained, "A way to combine magic into martial arts, and those black flames are said to be a modified version of the fire. ”

Powerful fire, a kind of black magic, can summon more and more powerful magic fire, these fires can be mimicked into the form of some monsters, regardless of whether they are friends or enemies, constantly chasing and killing a qiē object that can burn, strong fire has a curse and can be cracked, but whether it is its spell or cracking spell, it is a high-level magic, not someone who has just stepped into the wizarding world can know.

Catherine was about to stop her hand, but a white light suddenly enveloped her left arm and stopped the black flames from advancing.

"The magic of the light attribute!" One of the seniors exclaimed, "The little girl also knows how to do secret skills." ”

But the look of surprise on Catherine's face showed that she herself did not know what was going on.

"I lost!" Pansy withdrew the Black Flame and lowered her left hand.

"No, it's me who lost, I don't know what's going on with this white light!" Catherine withdrew her hand and carefully studied the white light that began to dim above.

"Luck is also part of strength." With that, Pansy walked straight to her seat.

"My name is Millicent Birdside!" Seeing Pansy come back, the stocky girl shoved the "microphone" into Blaise next to her, and walked out, "I like to fight the most!" She walked briskly to the center of the compartment, "I especially like to use my fists!" Before she could finish speaking, she swung her right fist at Catherine, who was walking back.

It was also a sneak attack, but Catherine was not as wolf as Alan, she turned to the right side, avoiding the incoming fist, and at the same time hit her left elbow back, just hitting Millicent's right ribs, and the sudden counterattack forced the sneak girl to take two steps back in order to avoid Catherine's subsequent combo, but Catherine did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but took a step forward and turned to look at Millicent.

"You're going to fight me?" Catherine asked, shaking her ponytail.

"No!" Millicent shook his head honestly, "Your strength is greater than mine, your speed is faster than mine, I can't beat you." After saying that, he turned around and walked back, seeing that the audience was extremely depressed.

"What kind of play is this?"

"My name is Blaise Zabini!" After Millicent sat down, the dark-skinned boy shook the "microphone" and said sharply, "Don't dangle in front of me if you are not qualified!" ”

The narrow and slightly slanted coffee-colored eyes, lazy tone, and handsome appearance stimulated many girls present, including the senior girls, to have their eyes glow, and they whispered, "It's so cool!" ”

"That's cool, but what am I?" The girl's attitude displeased Draco, who was also handsome.

"You're handsome!" Pansy suddenly softened her voice and blushed as she said that the sudden change had taken all the boys who had seen her for the first time by surprise, if they had any.

"That's pretty much it!" Draco raised an eyebrow and touched his hair, and sure enough, he received a lot of infatuated glances from the girls.

Seeing this, Brace rolled his eyes and threw the "microphone" in his hand in front of a short, fat boy with short, stiff hair, who was very focused on snacks.

"Licorice Wand?" The other party's small eyes widened instantly, and then he stuffed this "microphone" into his mouth after dividing it by two.

"Hah!" The audience laughed, Blaise looked up at the ceiling, and Draco held his forehead weakly, scolding "Idiot!" ”

"Goyle, it's time for you to introduce yourself." The good-natured Daphne reminded him.

"Ahh Oh! Belch! Hey! Not! Sigh! After a series of strange sounds, he cleared his throat and said, "My name is Gregory Goyle, and I like to snack very much, and I'm stupid, so my dad told me to follow Draco, and I did whatever he said." ”

"Smack!" Draco covered his face, he knew Goyle was stupid, but he didn't expect to be so stupid, and the words of his other "bodyguard" made him feel even more embarrassed.

"My name is Vincent Crabbe, and I love snacks, and I'm stupid, so my dad told me to follow Draco, and I did whatever he said." This guy actually copied Goyle's words and only changed his name.

"Hah!" The audience laughed, so angry that Draco gritted his teeth and glared at the short and fat boy who also only knew how to eat, "Crabbe, who are you going to invite next?" ”

"Please-" Seeing that Draco was really angry, Crabbe hurriedly looked up at the people in the cubicle carefully, only to find that everyone he knew had introduced themselves, and finally he was in a hurry, grabbed a licorice wand and handed it to the girl sitting next to him with long blonde braids, "Next, please-you!" ”

"Hah!" The audience burst into laughter again, but there was more applause, which made Draco angry and decided to let Crabbe go for the time being.

"My name is Susan Bones." The girl finally held back a laugh, took the "microphone" and began to introduce herself.

After Susan finished speaking, the remaining freshmen, in order to avoid similar embarrassments as Crabbe, took the initiative to stand up and introduce themselves in order.

As the last first-grader, Hannah Abbott with two blonde braids, finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out in the hallway.

"The train will be at Hogwarts in five minutes!" The driver's voice echoed above everyone, "Please leave your luggage in the car, and we will take you to school." ”

"It's almost time to get to Hogwarts!" Cedric got up in surprise and looked out the window.

"Time flies!" Penelope sighed as she looked at the dim sky.

"Students who haven't changed their school uniforms, hurry up and go back and change their clothes!" Percy stood up and shouted.

The students who hadn't changed their clothes hurried out of the cubicle, most of the other freshmen who had changed their clothes ran to the hallway to grab the window to see what Hogwarts was like, and the rest of the seniors also walked out one after another, either to find their friends, or to come to the first-year side to explain to them, and finally there were only two "masters" left in the cubicle, the four prefects and Neville, who had no time to get out.

"You know what?" Ixissi suddenly and mysteriously said, "This is the first freshman gathering that has taken place since the founding of the four colleges. ”

"No, it won't!" Hermione exclaimed.

"This is not surprising, because although the new students also have concentration after getting off the bus, they are all fascinated by Hogwarts, and naturally they don't care about communication." Cedric was the first to explain.

"And then it's the sorting ceremony." Penelope had a helpless expression on his face, "After being separated, it is naturally impossible for them to make friends like today because of their respective colleges. ”

"And no one ever thought of bringing the freshmen together on the train," Percy continued, "because no one could have imagined that they could conjure up a compartment for an entire grade level with the Traceless Stretching Charm." ”

"So, Catherine!" Ixissi stared at the red-haired girl, "Did you do it unintentionally?" Or was it deliberately produced? ”

Before Catherine could reply, Neville let out an exclamation, which made everyone present understand what the answer was.

"I just want to get to know all my classmates," Catherine said in an innocent tone, "after all, we're going to live together for seven years." ”

Only Neville believed this statement, Hermione was skeptical, and the four prefects all smiled meaningfully.

"Hope you choose Gryffindor/Slytherin/Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff!" The four prefects invited at the same time, leaving the three first-year students stunned.

"Isn't the sorting determined by character?" Catherine was puzzled.

"When it comes to meeting multiple colleges at the same time, it's up to you to decide." Percy said.
