Chapter 103: Fists and Truth
Albert found a nice thing on the catalogue order, which was a delicate and small silver phoenix badge, but it was a bit expensive and needed a galleon.
However, Albert was ready to have the owl order it for Nia as a Christmas present.
After closing the catalogue order and putting it back in his bag, he closed the thick book on the table and prepared to put it back in its original place, and looked at an acquaintance in surprise as Albert passed the bookshelf with the book.
"I've been in a lot of trouble lately!" said Truman, with a slight surprise on his face when he saw Albert, "but well done." ”
"Thank you. Albert stuffed the book back into the shelf and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"Evil curse, useful evil curse!" Truman muttered quietly, "I'm going to duel Ravenclaw Prefect Notch." ”
Albert couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what kind of operation is this?
"You and the Ravenclaw prefect, duel?" Albert asked in a low voice.
Truman nodded.
"What's going on? Are you going to hesitate, or are you going to ...... Using a duel to resolve conflicts?" Albert had already guessed that it was possible, and if it was a friendship exchange, Truman would not have come here to find a useful evil spell. "However, I'm afraid the school side won't be too happy, they won't want to see students use duels to solve problems, and ......"
Albert thinks that Truman has little chance of winning, and since the other party is a Ravenclaw prefect, it means that the results are not bad, and there will be a gap between the two sides in the mastery and use of magic.
Notch insisted that Bridget Winrock was from Ravenclaw. There was a hint of annoyance in Truman's tone.
"Bridget Winlock?" Albert asked, confused, he hadn't heard the name.
"Bridget Winlock, a famous arithmetic soothsayer of the thirteenth century, was the first to discover the magical properties of the number seven. Truman explained: "I'm learning arithmetic and divination and talking to others about it. Later, when he passed by, he said that Winlock was from Ravenclaw, and I argued about it, and then, it became like this. ”
"So, Bridget Winrock is from Hufflepuff. ”
"Of course, the chocolate frog has Bridget Winlock's introduction on the picture. Truman pulled out a picture of a chocolate frog and handed it to Albert.
After reading it, Albert asked, "Why didn't you give this to him at the time?" ”
"This is what I asked for from a friend later. Truman explained, "And I think even if you show him, the other party won't admit it, and that guy must have known that he was wrong, but he didn't admit it." ”
Albert already understood the reason for their duel,
Typical arguments go to spraying each other, and then evolve into kick-and-hand hitting.
In his previous life, Albert had seen too many of these things, and there were a lot of people on the Internet who were all of this virtue. It's just that because they are separated by a layer of the network, they can't crawl over and beat people along the network cable, so there is no way to do anything, and they can only spray each other on the Internet forum.
This time was different, both sides were already annoyed.
Perhaps, at the beginning, the Ravenclaw prefect himself remembered wrongly, and when the two sides sprayed each other until their faces were red, even if they were unconscious, they would not admit that they were wrong, so it turned into this duel.
Apparently, the Ravenclaw prefect was annoyed, at least that's what Truman thought.
Not everyone has the courage to admit their mistakes like Gryffindor, no, even Gryffindor, few have the courage to do so, as Dumbledore said: It is easy for people to forgive others for their mistakes, but it is difficult to forgive others for their mistakes.
Truman is to maintain the glory of Hufflepuff, at least, in their opinion, your own academy has managed to save a famous person, and you don't have the shame to say that it is Ravenclaw.
"Need I give you a little advice?" Albert whispered.
"Yes!" Truman was a little anticipating Albert's proposal.
"It's not a duel, it's going to get you in trouble. Albert cautioned, "Don't admit it's a duel. ”
Truman was a little regretful: "......"
"You don't want to be locked up!" Albert said.
"I don't want to. Truman nodded repeatedly.
"Will you disarm the spell?"
"No, it won't. Truman said gloomily.
"Follow me!" Albert motioned for Truman to go out with him, the library was not a good place to talk, he had noticed that Mrs. Pince was looking this way, and if he didn't want to be kicked out by the blankets, he would leave on his own.
The two walked out of the library one after the other and came to the hallway outside.
Albert looked at the Slytherin students passing by, narrowed his eyes and said to Truman, "The spell of the Disarming Charm is to remove your weapon, which is what he means, that is, to remove the opponent's weapon." ”
"You mean, get rid of Noki's weapons. Truman's tone was a little excited, if a wizard loses his wand, it is like a tiger loses his minions.
"Yes. However, you have to be a preemptive first. Albert suddenly said: "You duel will definitely count one, two, three, when you count to one, you should attack him first, otherwise you are probably not his opponent." ”
"But......" Truman seemed to say something, but was interrupted by Albert.
"It's not a duel, is it?" Albert said lightly, "when you disarm Noche and use a full-body restraint charm while he's stunned, you'll use it!"
"Yes. Truman nodded.
Then go up and beat him until he realizes that he is wrong. Albert made a fist swing.
"With fists?" Truman was a little unable to comprehend Albert's mode of thinking.
"There is a saying that the truth is in the fist. Albert looked at the stunned Truman and said, "Moreover, he is indeed wrong, he refuses to admit it, and wants to teach you a lesson through a duel, don't forget, he is two years older than you, and knows more about magic than you......"
Albert paused, and his eyes fell on a certain Ravenclaw redhead.
"You know Isobel, right?"
"I've seen it a few times from the same club. After making sure that there was no one around, Albert continued, "There is a saying that you can never wake up people who are pretending to be asleep, and the best way to wake them up is "
"Beat him hard!" Truman suddenly felt that it made sense, what about the sneak attack, what he wanted was to teach the other party a hard lesson.
Albert nodded and said: "Remember, don't use a curse, it's worse to use a curse than to use a fist, when the time comes, after you are caught, you will tell Professor Sprout why you are fighting, remember, it is a fight, not a duel, your dean will definitely not punish you, after all, you are fighting for the honor of the academy." ”
"That's fine. Truman was dumbfounded, he had already believed seven or eight points, yes, he was beating you for honor, and when he was excited, he suddenly realized one thing, he would not disarm the curse.
"Come with me, I know what you need...... A collection of self-defense spells. Albert entered with Truman, "You need someone to practice with, don't look at me, I don't have that kind of free time, you can find a Hufflepuff buddy." ”
"Well, thank you, remember to come and watch the duel on the weekend. Truman grinned, "On the lawn near the Black Lake." ”
"I will. Albert looked at Truman's back, his gaze resting on his mission panel.

Albert was a little interested in getting a random skill from the mission objective, and when he returned to his seat, Shanna, who had just finished her homework, asked curiously, "What did you just go for?"
"Nothing, just met a friend and had a few chats. Albert noticed that Mrs. Pince was looking, and quickly shut his mouth, checked the homework he had just finished, and put him away.
