Krum's liking of Hermione is a 'legacy issue'. Originally, this was the case in the plot. Jacob has a crush on Hermione, and Daphany noticed it when he first met Jacob. She had pondered this question before, but as soon as she turned around, she threw it back into her mind. But I didn't expect these two people to do it.

In other words, Jacob is still a fan of Krum! Well, it seems that compared to sister paper, idols have to stand aside!

"What's the situation, what's the situation?" Ron asked a senior student next to him curiously.

"Why are the two of them fighting? That's Krum! Why did he want to talk to that ...... Alas, Ilvermoni's warriors. What's his name, why do you want to fight him anyway? ”

"I don't know, I don't know why I got into a quarrel from the library just now, and then I was kicked out by Mrs. Pince. And then they ran here and said they were going to duel. You see, professors from both sides are here! "That senior classmate is obviously also a gossip party, and he has already heard a lot of things. But alas, the real core, the reason he doesn't know.

Daphany ignored the senior student who had plans to continue talking, and instead looked at the professors on either side. Karkaroff and Fontana. However, I was helpless to find that the two professors were actually cheering up their students, without the slightest intention of dissuasion. Is this a bear parent? Is it really good to be so bearish as a guest? You're all here for the Tournament, not for the Wizarding Duel Tournament.

However, no matter how much Daphany complains, the duel between the two sides has become unstoppable.

Krum struck first, but instead of making a ruthless move at the beginning, he started with a disarming spell. Yet who is Jacob? Ostensibly he was a seventh-year student at Ilvermorny, but it was like Krum had a second status as one of the world's top Quidditch players. Jacob also has the identity of an executor of the Werewolf House.

As the executor of the cooperative unit of the Magical Congress of the United States, Jacob is not said to be experienced in many battles, but he is definitely extremely experienced in combat. Krum's undisguised attacks were no threat to him. A sliding step dodged the spell and returned the fire with a change of hand.

Although Durmstrang does not have a dueling club, they usually have some exchanges with each other from time to time when they study the dark arts. Krum spends more of his time training with Quidditch, but occasionally participates in it. So there's still some experience. Tactical positioning is already underway at the same time as the magic is cast. As a result, Jacob's counterattack stun spell is also missing.

For a while, the magic of the two sides crackled back and forth, giving Daphany the illusion of watching a shootout movie. However, one of them has a lot of combat experience, and the other is trained in Quidditch, so both are very flexible types. After fighting for a long time, the crowd in the hall was forced back dozens of meters, but no one was next to each other.

Just as the two sides were about to use some high-level magic to separate the superiority, Karkaroff made a move.

No more than the inexperienced Krum, the cunning Karkaroff can see in a few confrontations that in terms of magic fighter skill, Jacob is far above Krum!

Krum's level of magic is among the best among his peers. It can be said that he is a top honor student. However, his opponent is a one-in-a-hundred magic fighter. Karkaroff had already seen that Jacob had been observing Krum before, and had already observed seven, seven, eight, eight. When he tried the real killer move next, Krum would most likely be defeated in a very short period of time.

Karkaroff's judgment was not wrong, no matter how good Krum was, he was still a student in magical combat. Even the level of an honor student can't be compared to Jacob, who frequently fights with runaway werewolf dark wizards. In fact, if it weren't for Jacob's relatively conservative tactics and his intention to hide his strength, Krum might have lost a long time ago.

Karkaroff foresaw this. He didn't want such a thing to happen, it would hit the morale and prestige of their academy warriors! When a champion from one academy loses to a warrior from another academy in a one-on-one duel, the result is very unfavorable. So Karkaroff ended the duel when it looked like the two sides were fighting a fierce battle.

"Alright, that's it." Karkaroff turned into a puff of black smoke and fell between Jacob and Krum. The wand clicked on each side, dissolving all the magic summoned by the two of them - compared to Karkaroff, even if they were both very talented young wizards, they were too immature, especially when it came to magic.

Fontana also quietly came to Jacob's side. They were informed early on that Ilvermorny College had come to Europe to participate in the tournament, so they were well prepared. The content of the project and the contestants are unknown, after all, what kind of students the Goblet of Fire is willing to choose as warriors is a very mysterious thing. But for the faculty members of the other college, they have long known something. Among them, the one they care about the most is Karkaroff. This former dark wizard is unscrupulous and powerful! Fontana needs to be careful what he does to his own warriors. Although Jacob is very strong, he is not the freak girl of the Lestranzi family after all, and he can't handle a wizard of Karkaroff's level.

"Professor Fontana, I think that's all for this year's competition." Karkaroff exclaimed, "We're here to compete in the tournament, so there's really no need to waste too much energy anywhere else!" ”

"I agree with Your Excellency!" Fontana nodded, acknowledging the matter. Although Jacob and Krum were a little unconvinced, they obviously did not dare to disobey their professors.

Seeing that Fontana agreed, Karkaroff also breathed a sigh of relief. Ilvermoni was very knowledgeable about the European side, but Karkaroff knew nothing about his opponents across the ocean. So Fontana was afraid of Karkaroff, and Karkaroff was equally reluctant to clash with Fontana. He immediately said to Krum: "Wickdore, it's easy to tell the winner, isn't the second project going to start soon?" ”

Krum was a little unhappy - he didn't notice the gap between himself and Jacob. I thought that although I might have to work hard, I could still win. But as soon as I heard Karkarov's words, I suddenly came to my senses.

In the first round of the tournament, Krum was fifth with a few points, while Jacob was ninth. Their advantages are still very obvious. Bunny Fly

Thinking of this, Krum said to Jacob opposite: "It's a pity that this duel is not over, but it doesn't matter. We're here to compete in the tournament. We'll see you at the tournament. The winner will be eligible to invite Miss Granger to the ball! Krum spoke very loudly, and after a brief silence in the audience, he exploded.

"Who is Granger?"

"Which house is Granger?"

"Isn't it the Granger of our academy age?"

"There's a girl in Krum you'd like to invite?"

"These two are dueling because of a girl?"

In an instant, all kinds of discussions full of surprise erupted from the surroundings.

Daphany was eager to see Hermione's reaction, but unfortunately Hermione didn't squeeze into the crowd but was on the periphery, and Daphany couldn't see it.

Although Hermione couldn't be seen, Daphany could see Ron and Harry's expressions. These two little second-hand goods also squeezed in. Daphany glanced at it, and sure enough, both of them looked demented.

"Anyway......" The people on the side argued for a while, and then Ron muttered to Harry, who was also like a wooden chicken, "In our house, are there any other grades with the surname Granger?" ”

"Looks like there isn'......," Harry replied in the same mutter.

"Could it be from other academies, from the other four academies?" Ron asked, somewhat uncertainly, "The surname Granger doesn't seem to be uncommon. ”

"It's not impossible...... Harry was also a little unsure, obviously both Ron and him were a little unacceptable, Krum and Jacob's duel turned out to be because of Hermione, their jack-of-all-trades Hermione......

However, it was soon determined that Krum and Jacob were dueling for the right to invite Hermione to the ball.

The whole academy is boiling over it! Rumors spread all of a sudden, and a large number of girls said they couldn't fully understand it. You know, Jacob doesn't know, Krum doesn't know how many little girls are thinking about it. But now their goal is to duel another little girl who is unkempt - Hermione usually doesn't even have a good hair comb!

Many of the girls who had made Krum a potential target suddenly became extremely unfriendly towards Hermione. In the next few days, these girls sneered openly and secretly.

However, it doesn't make any difference! Xueba's classmates don't care about this kind of thing at all. The girls chattered for two days, and their attention was drawn to other things.

Harry and Ron were more touched by the incident than the others. Hermione has already been invited, two! Even these two are warriors representing two academies! Even these two warriors had to duel for her!

But what about the two of them? There are no dance partners yet! Ron had wanted to put Ginny as Harry, but Ginny regretted telling them that she had agreed to Neville.

Ginny was a real regret, if she knew she could survive to become Harry's dance partner, she would never have agreed to Neville. You know, she promised Neville that she wanted to meet Harry at the prom—she couldn't go to prom in her third year without an invitation from her seniors.

"Harry, I'm actually fine...... I sat in the corner and no one noticed. But you're a warrior, and if you're alone, it would be embarrassing. Ron smiled, though he was laughing, his poor face was full of bitterness, obviously bitter in the midst of bitterness.

"You're right......" Harry's thief's eyes fluttered. Looking for a suitable target. But......

"Ron, why do you think the girls are all in groups, and they can't be left alone once in a while?" Harry looked at the girls who were always walking by in front of him, and said helplessly.
