“…… Drop your wand! I warn you, put down your wand at once! This is the British wizarding world, and casting a spell on someone for no reason is a violation—"

In a vendor area near the Forbidden Forest, Hermione was loudly reprimanding a man. However, as she tried to maintain her righteous and stern expression, her cheeks inevitably flushed slightly, and even the roots of her ears seemed to be burning unconsciously.

There's no way, it's really because the wizard's dress in front of him is still too much for a young girl who has not yet graduated...... Well, it's too much of a shame.

Yes, right in front of her, a guy with only a piece of animal skin wrapped around his waist was holding a crooked wand, talking to Hermione with wide eyes. It's just that he doesn't seem to know English, and even though he has been babbling for a while, he hasn't been able to get Hermione to understand even a word.

Probably realizing that warning the other party was a pointless act, Hermione quickly chose to keep her mouth shut. However, with her temperament, she will naturally not give up.

I saw her racking her brains while thinking and reaching out to gest, sometimes pointing to the strangely shaped wand in the other person's hand, and then waving her hand vigorously and shaking her head.

However, the facts tell us that even body language is culturally different. I don't know which of Hermione's actions went wrong, but the wizard who seemed to belong to the African delegation suddenly became nervous, and the wand that was originally pointing diagonally behind Hermione suddenly moved to her place.

Due to the hostility of the other party suddenly increased, and even the subject was changed to herself, Hermione had to tense her nerves and stop the movements of her hands.

This open space in the crowd, which had already appeared because of a sudden dispute, also expanded a few points again at this moment. As a result, the third party who was originally standing behind Hermione suddenly became much more eye-catching.

"Luna, you go first...... Hurry up and find Maca," Hermione could only whisper to the girl behind her while trying to stay still as much as possible, "He is the one in charge of negotiating with the delegations, and only he can resolve this matter as quickly as possible...... I'll do my best to hold this guy down. ”

In fact, it started with a chance encounter between Luna and the African wizard, but the reason for this is still a mystery due to the language barrier between the two parties.

If I had to describe the situation in words, I am afraid that at the moment I can only describe it with the sentence "just because I looked at you more in the crowd".

That's right, the next moment when Luna and the wizard's eyes crossed each other, the other pulled out the odd-shaped wand that hung in the leather pocket of his waist after a moment's pause.

And now, although things still haven't become clear, the atmosphere between the two sides is getting more and more tense.

Only, for Hermione's proposal to let Luna leave first...... Or rather, it was a decision, but Luna didn't make a corresponding move. At this time, she was the same as before, looking ahead in a trance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the past two years, the number of times she has been stunned when she is okay is actually much less than when she first entered school. But now it seems that the decrease in the number of times does not mean that she has completely said goodbye to this inexplicable habit.

"Luna? Luna...... Lu ......"

Because he was still confronting the "shameless" African wizard wordlessly, Hermione didn't dare to look back. But even if she didn't have eyes on the back of her head, she could clearly feel that Luna hadn't moved.

The next second when Hermione whispered again, the crowd on either side suddenly stirred slightly. Immediately afterward, a familiar figure struggled to push through the crowd and into this small open space, and suddenly broke into the side of the two sides who were facing each other.

"He-"

The uninvited guest who suddenly broke in was naturally Harry, who heard the sound not far away. He was about to subconsciously call out Hermione's name when he saw hermione, but immediately spotted the weird male wizard opposite Hermione.

No, to be precise, it was the wand in the other person's hand.

Compared to Hermione, who was accustomed to reasoning as the first option, Harry clearly had the style and spirit of Gryffindor House. So when he quickly sensed the hint of threat, the wand that was still on the inside of his robe fell into his palm for the first time.

Just as loaded guns are to Muggles, there is nothing more nerve-making for a wizard than the tip of a wand against each other. Harry's presence did not ease the tension, but further exacerbated the conflict between the two sides.

Sure enough, the tip of the African wizard's wand shifted again, and Harry and his gaze collided violently.

If the sight is also a kind of spell, just this moment, I am afraid that a brilliant spark has already been collided.

What Luna was thinking, still in a daze, Hermione had no way of knowing. All she knew was that if someone took out their wands right now, this inexplicable dispute would immediately escalate into a real spell fight.

Somehow, no doubt, had to be put to an end to this situation - there were so many wizards in the makeshift market for the event that if something did go wrong, it wouldn't be a small matter for just one or two people.

But just then, Alexander's appearance interrupted Hermione's meditation again.

He had come after Harry, and though he was no better than Harry, who was several years older, he had managed to get out of sight with great effort.

"What's going on—"

As the number of people who intervened increased one by one, the wizard of the African wizarding world finally couldn't help it.

Alexander, who had just come in from the crowd of onlookers outside, was halfway through his words when a spell that had never been taught at Hogwarts flashed past everyone's ears, and a cloud of gray mist erupted from the tip of the wizard's odd-shaped wand. The mist seemed to be light and fluttering, but in fact it was very fast, enveloping his whole person at once, and then spreading rapidly.

Although they have never seen such a spell, those who train understand that staying calm in the face of the unknown is one of the most important things.

In the practice of synchronous mantra casting, it is undoubtedly very important to cooperate calmly.

So, before the crowd around them even had time to make a commotion, Harry and Hermione glanced at each other in a tacit understanding - it wasn't just now, and one more wand ready to cast a spell was one more chance to deal with the situation.

Both of them understand that it is already a luxury to solve the problem without any trouble.

After exchanging glances, Harry immediately waved his wand, which had been on standby for a long time, and a breeze suddenly changed from small to large, and quickly swept away the gray mist in front of him.

The "whirlwind sweep", which was originally used to clean up dust and garbage, was used rationally by him. From this alone, it can be seen that some of the ways of understanding and using various spells have been passed down to a certain extent through the spell analysis materials that Maca originally distributed.

And when the air flow successfully began to disperse the gray fog with Harry's guidance, Hermione, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, also moved. But she saw the moment when the gray mist was stirred by the whirlwind and the African wizard's figure was slightly exposed, and a red light flashed on the tip of her wand.

Another spell with the Silent Spell technique, the red light of the Disarming Charm crossed the short distance between the two sides in the blink of an eye, and landed exactly at the point she was aiming at.

Undoubtedly, such a high level of spell casting accuracy also comes from repeated simultaneous spell casting training, which shows that the training content of . will continue to be proven in actual combat.

Unfortunately, when a brilliant red particle of light suddenly exploded in the slightly thinner gray mist, Hermione knew that her disarming spell had been blocked by the other party.

The other party is naturally not a wooden stake nailed to the ground, even if there is not much room for movement due to the terrain, at least it is inevitable to put a defensive spell on yourself.

In fact, the African wizard's intention to spread the gray fog may have been to prepare for the situation of having one enemy in between......

Of course, the situation on the scene is verbose, but in reality it is only a matter of seconds. And when the two sides went back and forth like this, the crowd of onlookers finally seemed to come back to their senses - the commotion was about to begin!

"Wait?"

No one will understand that the "wait" is a question sentence, but it doesn't matter anymore. Because when the pale gold suddenly flowed between the three wands, the glow of the spell that had been ready to be released was quietly extinguished from the tips of the wands on both sides.

"Harry, Hermione...... "That's Luna," it's okay. ”

At this moment, Harry and Hermione were dumbfounded. Because they didn't expect that Luna, who was still in a trance, would suddenly rush out and be clubbed in the most dangerous place.

"Lou—"

"It's fine."

Luna's repetition interrupted Hermione's call.

It was only at this moment that Hermione was stunned to realize that the African wizard standing on the other side of Luna had also lowered his odd-shaped wand. Although she couldn't see her true expression due to the colorful oil paint on the other party's face, Hermione sensed that the "shameless" African wizard should be greatly relieved for no reason.

"Exactly...... What's going on? ”

Harry's words probably already represent the voices of everyone present.
