Chapter 245: Strange Madness
The atmosphere of the corridor fell silent.
Blaiszabini turned slowly and hard, and Pancy Parkinson opened her mouth wide in disbelief, as if she had been choked and couldn't scream.
Daphne looked at Zabini proudly, with a narrow and happy look of satisfaction on her face, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and waited quietly for him to explain one, two, three, four, Hermione frowned, wanting to say something, but looking back at Ning An's eyes, she finally didn't speak.
Ning An looked at Zabini, his eyes did not blink, although he was still smiling, no one thought it was a friendly smile.
"I see the badge on your chest, it's the Slytherin prefect badge, right?" Ning An said calmly, without the slightest tone of reprimand or dissatisfaction, but every word he spit out was full of power, hitting Zabini's heart, making him not want to stay longer for a moment, and he wanted to flee here immediately.
What a joke, that's Ning'an, what he's done at Hogwarts, no one knows better than the Slytherin students.
"What you say is not only for you personally, but also for Slytherin House and for Hogwarts." Ning An played with his fingers, held up the most slender and powerful one of them and said:
"So I need an explanation for why you're denigrating the Greengrass family, otherwise neither Head Snape nor Headmaster Dumbledore would have raised an objection to me giving you a small punishment."
The air in the aisle seemed to be drained by the blower in one go, Neville grabbed the toad in his hand, Leff, leaning against the wall of the carriage, his shoulders trembling slightly, slightly and imperceptibly, Ginny took a step back, a little away from Zabini, here Qiu Zhang looked at Ning An, and then looked at Zabini, and a trace of unbearability flashed on his face.
Harry looked at Qiu Zhang, this beautiful dream goddess did not focus on herself for a moment, Harry felt that he was about to suffocate, his chest was stuffy as if a big stone had been pressed, he couldn't breathe, even in the most difficult dreams, when the scar on his forehead was the most painful, the pain he suffered was only about the same as now.
"I'm not denigrating the Greengrass family."
Breszabini turned around a little, looked at Ning An, the corners of his mouth rose unwillingly, even if he knew what kind of character Ning An was, and knew his current status and power, but Brace was still unconvinced.
Yes, he had never looked at anyone else, what supernova in the wizarding world, what wizard with amazing talent, what the youngest principal of a magic school, these gimmicks were in Zabini's heart, and he had never taken them seriously.
If I had been asked to come, I would have done it, this was what he really thought in his heart, even during the time when the snake letter was at its most rampant, he had never had the slightest intention of contacting, he didn't even look down on those incompetent Death Eaters, how could he get involved with any student organization.
He is reluctant to bow to others, even if this person is someone he cannot mess with.
Maybe it's just that the newspaper is blowing nonsense about him, Zabini thought to himself, the so-called Principal Durmstrang is just a puppet, it was okay to scare and scare the junior students at the beginning, but now that he is in the fifth grade, he is no longer a wizard like a hairy boy.
The gap between me and him is definitely not as big as I imagined, right?
Zabini's hand slowly reached into his trouser pocket, his wand was placed there, and the corner of Ning An's eyes moved with his hand.
"Aha, you really want to do it with me, right!? Zabini? As if seeing something incredible, Ning An shouted in surprise:
"Here, do it with me? To the principal of the magic school who came to communicate? Do you think the prefect is the headmaster of Hogwarts? ”
Pansy Parkinson tried to hold Zabini, "Forget it...... Brace ...... He was the principal of Durmstrang......"
"Mr. Headmaster" Draco Malfoy pulled out his wand at some point, stood beside Ning An, and aimed his wand at Zabini, "I'll deal with him for you." ”
"Wait, what do you want to do! Ning'an!? Hermione realized that things were going in an uncontrollable direction, and she stepped in the middle to try to stop further tensions.
Ning An's gaze passed through Hermione, Pansy, and through the crowd between him and Blaise, looking at each other's eyes, pupils gradually changing from dark brown to red, crazy color.
"Yes...... Oh, yes...... We should all calm down...... Still on the train......" Ron stepped out, seemingly trying to help calm things down.
"Ah, you guys here, did anyone see my earrings, I dropped them when I was chasing that toad just now, but it's really interesting, isn't it" The girl's voice sounded behind Zabini, it sounded a little familiar, and Ning An looked at it from afar.
It was a girl who looked in a trance, with light blonde hair reaching up to her waist, and she was standing in the aisle, talking, exuding a strange, fluttering temperament.
"Ah, it's you" She suddenly became excited, pointed at Ning An and shouted, "I heard that you are now the principal!" It's incredible, isn't it, at Hogwarts that night."
Just when Luna Lovegood almost mentioned last year's Christmas Ball, Ning An's incident at Hogwarts, Zabini suddenly moved, his wand was held in his hand in the blink of an eye, and he felt Ning An's distraction because of Luna for a moment, and he did not hesitate to shout a spell
"Faint!"
A strong ** drives Zabini, he wants to prove himself, he wants to prove that he is the same genius, yes, who else is better than himself?
Here, on the Hogwarts Express, knocking out the dignified Headmaster Durmstrang and known as the next greatest wizard in front of so many people will make him famous, and he will become the man of the year at Hogwarts, the new favorite of the Daily Prophet.
Everything was worth it, everything was deserved by him, and it was all about to come to fruition soon!
Breszabini could only see the people in front of him, but he couldn't see his own eyes, which were red and terrifying, as if they were about to shed blood.
"There are many obstacles!"
Ning An raised her index finger and at the same time used her left hand to pull Hermione, who was still standing in front of her, and pulled her behind her, an invisible transparent wall, across the middle of the carriage corridor, people only had time to subconsciously stretch out their hands to cover the dazzling red light.
The "bang" spell collided, and Zabini's stun spell disappeared like a stone sinking into the water.
"Are you really, only sneak attacks like this?" Ning An picked his index finger, this time he had an extra pitch-black wand in his hand, Zabini was like a crazy angry lion, holding his wand high, obviously the stun spell just now would never be his last spell.
This frightened Pansy Parkinson, and the others, there was no room to toss and dodge in the cramped carriage, and it only happened in a split second, from Zabini's unconscious curse just now, it was only a few seconds later.
"Stop," Ning An's wand pointed at Zabini almost at the same time, but Ning An's magic had already taken effect before he could shout out
"Hang the Admiralty upside down!"
Zabini seemed to be violently flipped from the front, and then an invisible hook hooked his foot, pulling him up, and the wand in his hand broke free, hanging headfirst in the air, and the whole person was hung upside down.
"You really should think carefully before choosing your opponent," Ning An raised the wand in his hand and said again, "The golden bell has landed!" ”
A bright light flashed, Zabini fell to the ground, and fell into a heap, but even Ning An already thought that he was unlikely to make any more moves, unless he was crazy, but who would have thought that Zabini would be desperate, not even caring about the wand at his feet, and pounced towards Ning An like a wild dog.
"Oh my God, don't, Blaise" Pansy's face was already bloodless, and after this incident, it was hard to say whether her own prefect would be able to save it, attacking the principals of other magic schools? When it got to Hogwarts, he didn't know how to explain it.
Ning An frowned tightly and pulled Hermione back, Zabini's two eyes were red and terrifying, making Ning An think of the most vicious snake pupils, which were a pair of crazy eyes that had lost their minds.
"You guys stand back, he's in trouble!"
Ning An shouted, raised his wand again, Zabini's movements were extremely fast, and he didn't look like a human on all fours, and the others who watched it were amazed, feeling both awkward and disgusting, and terrifying.
"Get out" Zabini had already pounced in front of Ning An, and was about to press on him, but in the next second, another strong light flashed, and Zabini was gone, replaced by a gray-white little mouse, soaring in the air, grabbed by Ning An, covered in the palm of his hand, and kept writhing and struggling.
Ning An threw him to the ground, pointed it again with his wand, and the little gray mouse "bang", burst out with white eyes, and Zabini curled up in a ball, as if he had lost all his strength, lying in the corridor aisle, not moving.
"Brace" Pansy ran over and tried to help him up, but the latter staggered away from Pansy's hand, and he was still able to stand on his own, seemingly fine.
Zabini looked at his hands, then looked around and stared at him, a pair of eyes full of scrutiny, surprise, and strangeness, these eyes were like sharp knives, and they stuck in his heart, he knew what he had just done, but it was never his intention, and he couldn't understand why he did it.
Slowly bending down and picking up the wand that had been handed to him, Breszabini, shaking his head, stepped back incredulously, as if he was still muttering to himself
"Impossible, impossible...... What did I do...... It couldn't be ......."
Ning An watched him disappear into the aisle little by little, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, he didn't plan to embarrass a student, but Zabini's reaction was indeed a little strange, the pair of scarlet eyes like snake pupils reproduced repeatedly in Ning An's mind, which made him understand that what Zabini did just now was definitely not simple.
"Let's go back." Ginny broke the awkward silence and tugged at Harry and Ron's sleeves, Ron looked at Hermione, opened his mouth and turned to walk back with Neville.
Harry watched Qiu Zhang step forward and whisper something to Ning An, and walked away, not looking at himself, only feeling as if his heart was being clutched by the owl's sharp claws, and the tips of the claws cut through his heart and dripping blood.
"Hiss" In a trance, he heard Poole's laughter inside his clothes.
"Let's go, Harry" Ginny reached out to pull him, and Harry lost his soul and disappeared into the aisle as if he had lost his soul.
Luna stood on the other side, taking a steady, closer look at Ning'an's side, her eyes back and forth between Hermione and Daphne.
"Can I come and sit here for a while?" She asked Ning An loudly, and then pointed behind her, "But I have to get my schoolbag first, and I haven't found my earrings yet, they are carrot earrings that I made myself." ”
Ning An shook his head helplessly, he and Luna were not very familiar, but the mad girl's behavior had never been handled by common sense, and he had no reason to refuse her to sit in the carriage for a while, and the place was very spacious.
"Of course, Luna" Before he could finish his sentence, the elf-like girl was gone, and God knows whether to go find her carrot earrings or go back to get her school bag.
"Ah...... Mr. Principal ...... "Draco Malfoy took the initiative to come to Ning An and said respectfully: "I want to go to another carriage to see, you know that I don't have many acquaintances in Durmstrang yet"
Ning An was a little strange, he was happy to stay in the same carriage with him before, and seemed to regard this as some kind of honor, why did he suddenly want to meet some new classmates?
But he couldn't have to stay here, nodding, Ning An agreed to his request, looking at Malfoy's back as he fled, he couldn't understand why.
The train traveled all the way north, and after a small episode, the weather began to change, the rain beat on the windows one after another, the clouds obscured the sun, it was already evening, or it would be dark before they were far from Hogwarts.
The atmosphere in the carriage was terrifyingly oppressive, Ning An had never felt such pressure before, and when everyone left, only he, Hermione, and Daphne were left sitting in the carriage.
Daphne seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song, taking out a magazine from her bag that told the history of Quidditch in England, flipping through it carefully, and ignoring Ning An.
Hermione sat next to Ning An, looking him up and down, her eyes staring at Ning An creepy, looking like she wanted to say something to Ning An, she would be interrupted by Daphne's coughing or laughter, and she didn't know what was in a Quidditch magazine that could make her laugh.
Not long after, when the drizzling rain gradually stopped, leaving only the dirty windows wet with the rain, the car door opened, and Luna stood outside the door, holding her schoolbag in one hand and carrot earrings in the other, and she said triumphantly:
"I didn't lose it, I was afraid that it would be lost in the chaos, so I took it off and put it in my pocket."
