Chapter 056: Christmas Eve (Part I)

Ginny didn't think it was funny at all. Every time Fred asked out loud who Harry was going to attack next, or when Jocha met Harry and pretended to block his attack with a garlic head, she always shouted sadly, "Don't do that." ”

The red-haired girl had not had a good time in her first semester at Hogwarts, and the shadow of the Chamber of Secrets had been hanging over her since the first Quidditch match, but fortunately her brothers were constantly enlightening and causing trouble; The blonde girl in Slytherin was even worse, and Daphne followed her sister like a calf hen, pulling her behind at the slightest moment.

The little black-haired girl in Hufflepuff was as nervous as the rest of her house, and when Justin had an accident, she booked a seat on the Hogwarts Express at the first moment and began counting down; Only the blonde girl of Ravenclaw remained the same, she was as erratic as ever, more like a ghost than a ghost, more like a portrait than a portrait, and within three days of school she got the nickname "Mad Girl".

In anticipation, the semester was over, and a silence as thick as snow on the ground enveloped the castle, as most of the students went home, leaving only a few, like the Weasleys, who decided to go to Egypt to see their eldest son, Bill.

On Christmas Eve, it was very cold, and Harry, Ron, and Pansy's hearts were even colder as they lost to their own opponents, meaning that their final dueling training opponent would be Snape.

Although there is only one rule in Slytherin, it makes the students understand the cruel principle of survival, so Slytherin has always been very strict with the rules, and even if they are violated, they are often behind the scenes. And Gryffindor, although there are a lot of house rules, seems to be inherently designed to be destroyed by students, even if a well-behaved child before entering the house will be assimilated in less than a month after being assigned to this house.

Although the three Slytherin students had the upper hand at first, the three Gryffindors played to their strengths, and they became more and more frustrated, and even turned the tide into victory.

It's just that De Laco was prepared for Harry's outburst, and Brace was lucky to meet the worst Ron, only Pansy was unlucky to meet Hermione, the first Miss "Jack of Trades" in the grade, all she lacked was practical exercises, and now with the demonstration of the Slytherins, and then in connection with her already good theoretical foundation, she naturally won the final victory.

"You have disappointed me so much!" In the duel training room, Snape said coldly to the three losers, "So don't expect me to keep my hand. ”

As Catherine heard this, she hurriedly led the other three out of the dueling training room, and Harry, Ron, and Pansy suddenly felt as if the temperature around them had plummeted to absolute zero.

"Is it necessary?" Hermione looked at Snape, who didn't move, in bewilderment.

"If I do fight Professor Snape, my biggest fear is not his magic, but his potions!" Catherine said sternly.

"Can potions be used in duels too?" Brace asked in surprise.

"Of course you can't do ordinary potions, unless you contact them, but the godfather's killer weapon is a gaseous potion." With that, Draco shook violently, and Blaise and Hermione couldn't help but shiver.

Hearing Draco's words, Pansy immediately tried to get a gust of wind, but as soon as she moved, Snape's staff shot a red light, knocking her wand away, and Harry and Ron hurriedly blocked her in front of her.

Snape was not prepared to keep his hands, but his purpose was only to make these children understand that there were dangers in the wizarding world that were easy to ignore, not to make them lose confidence in fighting the dangers.

So Snape didn't go on offense but only defended after knocking out Pansy's wand, so the two rookies Harry and Ron were able to hold on.

"Get out of the way!" Pansy suddenly yelled, and Harry and Ron jumped to the side, only to see her slam a round, bright object on the floor in front of Snape, causing a loud explosion and bursting into flames.

"She's so smart!" Hermione praised from the bottom of her heart, "The gaseous state is the most unstable state of matter, and as soon as the outside temperature changes, especially the sudden high temperature, it will immediately cause it to react violently. ”

"But it's also a double-edged sword." Catherine shook her head slightly, "I don't know what kind of gaseous potion the professor is using, and naturally I don't know if this gaseous potion will become safer or more dangerous after the sudden heat!" ”

"What's more, the three of them are blocked by flames, and my godfather knows how to use this flame environment." Draco sighed, "They're going to lose." ”

"No, it won't!" As soon as Blaise shouted, he saw Snape suddenly shoot three spells into the flames in quick succession, and Harry, Ron, and Pansy fell straight down.

"It's your turn!" Snape waved his wand and opened all the windows in the training room, the cold north wind mixed with cotton wool snowflakes instantly extinguished the raging flames, and then he used his wand to "carry" the three children he had imprisoned and walked to the door of the training room.

Catherine smiled at the three of them and walked towards the center of the training room, where Draco, Brace, and Hermione rejoiced that Snape was not their dueling rival, but when their final duel training began, they realized how wrong they were.

"Today I'm going to show you how Muggles deal with wizards." Catherine smiled, and with a flick of her right hand, a revolver was aimed at Draco.

"Armor protection!" Draco reacted quickly and cast an armor charm, but Catherine's bullet flew past the ends of his hair.

“DMCC!” Brace suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Separate!" Hermione yelled and immediately ran to the other side.

Catherine smiled brightly as she raised her left hand, and Hermione stopped abruptly, and a bullet flew in front of her, sending her into a cold sweat.

"Disarm!" Draco threw a red light at Catherine and gave Blaise a hard push.

Catherine leaned slightly sideways, dodging Draco's disarming charm, and fired a shot at Blaise with her right hand, who slid a sliding shovel and slid dangerously from under the bullet behind Catherine, and quickly fired a disarming spell at the red-haired girl.

Three people in three directions, Catherine only has two pistols, which seems to be unable to deal with, but she just turns on the spot, and easily dodges the magic of the third person, and suppresses the attack of the other two, if it weren't for the fact that the two pistols only have twelve bullets, I am afraid that a barrage can force the three to surrender directly.

When Catherine's bullet was finished, Draco, Brace, and Hermione threw a disarming charm at her at the same time, but the red-haired girl only split her feet to the left and right, and the three red lights exploded directly above her head.

When Catherine sat on the ground, the hem of her clothes suddenly revealed two bullet wheels tied to the outside of her legs, and the other three hurriedly continued to attack, but the red-haired girl had already loaded her gun and spun around to shoot back, and the three fell into passivity again.

"The chair is flying!" Hermione suddenly changed her previous approach to dodging, and the chair she pulled over did as she expected, blocking the bullet, and when Blaise and Draco saw it, they immediately followed with the Flying Charm.

"Not bad!" Snape had a rare positive assessment of a Gryffindor student, "'DMCC' destroys the magic cycle, it can't destroy items without magic, but the real bad guys don't use normal bullets. ”

Harry and Ron, who were still imprisoned, couldn't help but roll their eyes, and sure enough, they still couldn't expect too much from Snape's words.

Seeing that her tactics had been cracked and the bullets were finished again, Catherine smashed the two guns to the ground, grabbing the remaining bullets and throwing them at the three opponents, although the speed of the bullets did not pose a threat to their lives, but the "DMCC" on them still hindered the three of them from casting spells, and the two pistols emitted a cloud of white smoke as soon as they hit the ground.

The white snow that had been blowing in through the window had already severely affected the vision of the three of Draco, and the white smoke had completely obscured Catherine's figure, and although the howling north wind blew it away, the red-haired girl was no longer in place.

"Be careful!" Blaise and Hermione shouted at the same time, as Draco was in the downwind zone, and the red hair fluttering was faintly visible in the smoke and snowflakes that had been blown by the strong wind.

"Boom!" There was a clash of iron, and Catherine's longsword slammed into Draco's staff again.

"Remember the one you were interrupted a year ago?" Catherine asked, smiling.

"Of course!" Draco tilted his head away from the tip of his sword and waved his cane and sneered, "Unfortunately, now is not a good time to continue. "Because he saw two temporary companions pointing their wands at Catherine's back.

"Really!" Catherine took a step back to dodge the silver snake head and stabbed again, but as for Blaise and Hermione's attack, she had no intention of dodging at all.

"Forbidden spells!" Seeing the flash of red light on Catherine's robes, Draco exclaimed, "Could Muggles do this?" ”

"Don't you know—" Taking advantage of Draco's distraction, Catherine attacked in quick succession, "The Forbidden Spell evolved from the crippled 'DMCC'?" ”

"Damn!" Draco couldn't help but curse and shouted as he blocked Catherine's attack, "Use indirect magic!" ”

"Do you think indirect magic works?" Catherine asked contemptuously, but Draco suddenly looked very ugly.

Catherine didn't look back, she grabbed Draco's cane and crossed over his head behind him, and then she heard a loud "bang" and a large stream of cold water completely drenched them.

“SHIT!” Catherine couldn't help but curse, "This is the second time I've been doused with cold water during the Christmas break!" ”

"Please! I was the one who was attacked head-on! Draco grumbled and quickly turned around, ready to continue the attack, but when he turned around, he saw a black hole, "How many guns did you have with you?" ”
