Chapter 15: Daily Life in the Dueling Club
Word of Daphany's angry attack on Umlich soon spread through the Academy. Rao is Daphany is originally a legend of Hogwarts, and this time it is also a big hair! Many of the students who were dissatisfied with Umlich's teaching methods also rebelled like Daphany – especially the Gryffindor students.
However, it turns out that there are some things that you can't just learn if you want to.
Although Umlich's strength is indeed not outstanding, it is also considered to be at the upper middle level among ordinary adult wizards. Not being able to beat Daphany does make her look weak, but it doesn't mean that a real group of students can deal with her.
At least, Lee Jordan, who had tried, was cleaned up hard. However, this did not raise Umlich's profile, but on the contrary made the students look down on her even more.
What's wrong? Being in front of a group of students by Daphany, she didn't have any temper, and turned around to bully other students who weren't strong enough, right? You have the ability to find Daphany!
This emotion spread uncontrollably throughout Hogwarts, and Umbridge could detect it, but was powerless to stop it. Until Friday comes!
"Although I miss Hagrid a lot, I have to say that Professor Graplan's teaching skills are also very good!" At the dinner table, Draco and Pansy were happily discussing today's magical beast protection class while feeding each other, and without any scruples, they stuffed a few small snakes around them with a mouthful of dog food.
"Hurry up and eat, we're going to open a dueling club in a while!" Daphany really couldn't get used to seeing her two younger siblings show their affection every day, so she urged.
"Oh, okay!" Draco was afraid that Daphany had been imprinted on her soul. As soon as she heard that there was a little unhappiness in Daphany's tone, she immediately began to eat and stuff obediently. In less than two minutes, her stomach was full, but Daphany continued to eat unhurriedly.
At eight o'clock, the dueling club began as scheduled.
The Gryffindor trio and a few members of the Quidditch team ran in out of breath and stuck. Gryffindor has a new goalkeeper selection today.
When Harry and the others ran in, Daphany was already standing in the middle of the ring. Looking at the Gryffindor group with happy faces, Daphany asked with a smile: "Hey, Gryffindor team, do you dare to reveal who your new goalkeeper is, or do you want to keep it as a secret weapon?" ”
"Of course, it's going to be kept as a secret weapon!" Angelina laughed and replied, "We're going to have a new points system starting this year, and we're sure to win the first Quidditch House Cup with the new rules." ”
"Stop dreaming! This year's winner is definitely ours! Draco suddenly stopped, almost jumping to his feet and declaring that he must have won the championship in his own house this year. Pansy was arguing with her.
"Hey, hey, you Slytherin and Gryffindor are going too far! This year's champion should be ours! "Cedric is the President of the Student Council and the Hufflepuff Prefect and Quidditch Captain. It was still the first place in the final points of the Duel Club last year, and this semester can be said to be a great jump. Hearing that both the Lion Courtyard and the Snake Courtyard were clamoring for him to win the Academy Cup, he suddenly couldn't calm down.
"Don't make a fuss, Diggory! You're the president of the student union, how can you still give you all the good things? Roger Davies grinned and came out of nowhere: "I'll tell you this year, this year's Quidditch House Cup must be our Ravenclaw." ”
The students at the scene were immediately divided into four camps and quarreled, but now everyone has a good relationship. Although they were arguing, everyone was laughing and laughing, and it was inevitable to scold each other, but the senior classmates were hardly really angry. On the contrary, some first-year students who have just started school for a week and have not yet clarified the situation are a little embarrassed, but they are all persuaded by the seniors with hippie smiles around them.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble!" Daphany raised her hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Everyone was very quiet. Then Daphany exclaimed, "We'll see you in the ring, and I'll tell you, the champion must be our Slytherin!" ”
"Phew!" The other three branches coaxed together.
Everyone had enough trouble, and Daphany said with a smile: "There are so many new faces today!" First of all, for the new children, explain the rules of our dueling club. ”
Daphany briefly explained the rules of the dueling club. There are no major changes since last year's change, except that the challenge has been graded according to grade level, and it has been graded according to points. Every 200 points difference is set as a grade. Of course, Daphany still has no score, and all those who challenge her are calculated according to the maximum score difference by default.
In addition, there is the addition of a reward system, where Daphany and the twin brothers issue their own quests, and occasionally take on some quests from the academy professors. You can also earn points for completing these tasks. This has been implemented since the second half of the last academic year, and the professors of various disciplines have all praised it!
The professors of the house also have their own magical content to study, but Hogwarts' ability to squeeze is not ordinary! The professors are very busy with time, and they have to prepare things for class, so they have very little time to practice and study magic on their own. I have the intention to find someone to help, but let the students work for free, not to mention whether the professor is embarrassed or not, and the students will not do it! Chinese bar
The Dueling Club solves this problem to a certain extent, and although it is still not particularly ideal, many professors still feel that it has helped a lot!
"For first- and second-year students, I recommend practicing with dolls!" Daphine pointed to the two rows of puppets in the corner of the hall, "The seniors can point out to the juniors." Of course, if you are particularly confident, or want to try your hand, you can also go on stage to play, and play a mentoring match with your classmates or seniors, as long as both parties agree! ”
"Okay, now, first-year freshmen, and other students who haven't joined before. If you are willing to officially join the dueling club, go to the side and do the registration! Daphany gestured to the extra row of tables next to her. Daphne sat there with a couple of Slytherin fifth and sixth graders with notepad parchment pamphlets on their desks. "I would like to reiterate once again that the Duel Club application can only be carried out for the first two events of the school year. If you don't catch up, you'll have to follow the year! ”
Although Daphany said that there were students who did not join the other grades, in fact, there were only a handful of students from the second grade and above who did not participate in the dueling club. And those few people basically won't participate no matter how many times Daphany says it, because they don't come to the auditorium at this time at all. Well, it's not surprising that there are always magicians who don't like to fight. Daphany expressed understanding.
Almost all of the 40 or so students in the first grade came for a few days, and when they heard the rumors, they crowded over in a large group to register. Of course, there are some who didn't move. Either they just want to see people make noise and don't like duels, or they just want to observe the situation.
Those who did not sign up were basically the Eagle Courtyard and the Badger Courtyard, and the Snake Courtyard also had one. Unsurprisingly, all of the people in the Lion House signed up~
Daphany didn't continue to pay attention to the situation on the registration side, but showed a provocative expression: "How about it, I haven't seen you for a holiday, have you consciously made great progress, and you want to get back to the field with me?" ”
Since the preparation of the dueling club, Daphany has never lost a game one-on-one. Last school year, Daphany didn't even lose a game against three. Only in the last event, he was sanctioned once by Angelina, Fred, George, and Ronlia Ollivander together. So, Daphany jumps, jumps very much.
Daphine is provocative, but no one pays attention to her at all!
The senior student said in his heart: Just kidding, you even cleaned up the professor of the college, Umlich, who still went to you to be abused? For the first event, is it possible that three or four people will go up together, and it is very likely that the car will accidentally overturn? With so many new kids, we don't want face?
Daphine also expected this situation, and shrugged innocently: "Okay, okay, since everyone doesn't want to play with me, then I announce the start of the event, and everyone can start practicing in a group by themselves." ”
"Weasley!" Malfoy screamed at the first moment, staring at Ron.
"Malfoy!" Ron showed no signs of weakness, and both of them pulled out their wands at the same time. Ready to do the first one of the year without any subtlety!
It should be said that these two have been showing off their operations in the dueling club for a while since the end of the third year, but after being forced to a draw by Daphany. Harry, who was originally at the heart of the conflict, had to step aside.
Last year, neither of the two had anything to do with the warriors, so they fought in the dueling club. Draco's magic, magic control, and foescent skills are superior. But Ron's puppet manipulation is also paradoxical. The two have fought no less than 20 games back and forth, and no one is convinced by each other's victories and defeats.
Pansy and Lavender were supposed to be their own loyal fans, but at this time, they didn't have the consciousness to go hand in hand to watch the excitement. That's right! Although Draco and Ron are uncomfortable for a day without fighting, their little girlfriends become good sisters.
Harry and Hermione were used to this, and they grinned and followed over to watch the fun.
Harry and Hermione were laughing and talking on the surface, but their eyes couldn't help but drift to the other side, where Cho was walking towards a ring with her best friend Marietta, but the two of them were not dueling, but sparring magic. Magical exercises that are not aimed at winning or losing are also a frequent occurrence in dueling clubs. It's usually between good friends, for example, Draco often instructs Crabbe and Goyle, and Harry often practices with Hermione and Ron.
Harry was peeking at Cho, but he wasn't paying attention, and Ginny was peeking at her from a corner!
Daphany looked at all this, looking very satisfied on the surface, but a little anxious in her heart, why hasn't someone come yet?
At that moment, the door to the auditorium was opened from the outside. Three figures, one short and two tall, appeared in the doorway.
The corners of Dafanie's mouth hooked, very good, here!
