Chapter 55: The Little Wizard Who Lost His Fortune

It was another sunny morning, and the little wizards who had finished breakfast did not act as usual.

For example, go back to their common room for a nap or play chess with friends; Go to the Quidditch pitch to watch your house team in action, or go to Hogsmeade with your friends.

However, on weekdays, the places where the most students gather are Hogwarts Gardens and the Castle Library, but today, there are few places where there are few people to be seen.

On an ordinary weekend, something very special is about to happen!

Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Rick Graves will reopen the Dueling Club today.

The new venue for the Dueling Club is located south of Hogwarts Farm, in a clearing between the former Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest.

Yesterday, under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen young wizards, Filch posted a notice of the resumption of the dueling club. The above highlights that on the opening day of today's dueling club, there will be an exhibition match for professors.

Hogwarts has been a long time and no one is running a dueling club.

And Rick's reboot ignites the enthusiasm and curiosity of all the little wizards. In addition, being able to see the duel between the professors not be performed, which made the little wizard extremely excited to learn the news.

And today, on a weekend that will go down in history, they shared a common purpose after having an early breakfast.

The crowd walked in groups and walked out of the castle gates in the direction of Hagrid's hut.

Of course. They weren't guests at Hagrid's house.

Beyond Hagrid's hut, the white buildings of the Roman period come into view. Step on the fresh, earthy trail and head to the wizarding arena that has risen in half a month!

……

"Slow down, wait for me!"

Neville Longbottom, with a bacon and egg sandwich in one hand and a laimbar in the other, panted after Dean Thomas and Seamus Finigan in front of him.

"Why do you still have food? We're going to the dueling club. And not an outing!! ”

Seamus and Dean looked back at Neville running towards them, and to his surprise that he was actually holding breakfast in his hand, they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Aren't we watching other people duel? Of course, bring something to eat. When I was a kid, when my grandmother took me to a circus show, she would bring me a lot of food, syrup, pies, Simon Sherbet, and more, I forgot. ”

Neville looked at the two companions with a smile on his face, and told them both about his childhood experiences.

"That's syrup, fruit pie and lemon sorbet." Seamus closed his eyes speechlessly and slapped himself on the door of the head.

"Oh oh oh, yes, yes! It's syrup fruit pie and lemon sorbet, I say how weird. Neville smiled sheepishly.

Like Seamus, Dean sighed and looked at Neville helplessly, when suddenly his expression became solemn, and he quickly walked over to Neville's side, uncovering his robe, and groping his hands around Neville's waist.

"Neville, where's your wand? We're not just watching the professors' exhibition games today. Professor Graves has given us tasks during class, and everyone has to participate in three duels! ”

"Ahh I remember I brought it! Where did it go? ”

Neville panicked as he placed the sandwich in Dean's hand and began to fumble with his robe, which he remembered was supposed to be in his robe.

"Don't look for it, I've checked it for you. The wand isn't on you, let's go to the cafeteria and look for it, if it doesn't work, we'll go back to the dorm!" Seamos, you go over first, help us get a good position, and we'll be there later. ”

Dean seemed to be accustomed to Neville's mistakes, and he put the sandwich back in Neville's hand and pulled him back the way he came.

"If only I could fly the Curse, I could just summon Neville's wand!" Seamus picked up his wand and was a little eager to try, but unfortunately he really wouldn't.

"Even if you could, Neville and I wouldn't want to see you use the Flying Charm!"

Dean, who had just walked a few steps, subconsciously retorted after hearing Seamus's thoughts.

"Uh...... I didn't mean to let the spell explode. ”

Looking at the two of them in the distance, Seamus muttered quietly, he had made great progress now, and Professor Flitwick had praised him in Charms class this week.

Seamus was about to go to the dueling arena first to get a place with a wide view for himself and his two friends, when he stumbled upon a window two meters away from him, jumping in the direction of the Black Lake.

"Neville, your Lybium!! How the hell did this guy survive until now? Forget it, I'll help him take care of you first. ”

Seeing that Neville couldn't hear him anymore, Seamus could only help Neville take care of the toad first.

……

"Neville, no! Do you see if the wand in Malfoy's hand is yours? ”

Dean and Neville, who were just about to enter the cafeteria, happened to pass by a group of Slytherin students, and the wand in the hands of the sharp-eyed Dean Malfoy seemed to be a little familiar, and hurriedly grabbed Neville, who wanted to enter the cafeteria, and asked him to carefully check whether the wand in Malfoy's hand was his.

"Ah, like my wand, yes! It's my wand. ”

Neville has a bad memory and is always lost. But all his five senses were normal, and his eyesight was among the best in their dorm.

Privately, Harry, who was in the dorm room with him, agreed that Neville's ability to have such good eyesight must have been cultivated by his constant search for things.

Determined that the wand in Malfoy's hand was his own, Neville immediately pursued the group of Slytherin students. More than ten seconds later, he stopped Malfoy.

Neville bent over, hands propped over his thighs, sweating up at Malfoy with a stunned expression. He was out of breath because of the violent running, and his speech was not as sharp as before.

"Horses... Malfoy. The wand in your hand is mine. You... Can you... Give it back to me! Thank... Thank you! ”

Neville held out a hand, palmed it out in front of Malfoy, and motioned for Malfoy to return his wand to him.

"Hehe, idiot! You say it's your wand, and I'll believe it? You said let me give you back my wand and I'll give it to you? ”

At first, Neville's sudden appearance startled Malfoy, who was chatting with his companions. But after hearing that the other party wanted to get the wand back in his hand.

Malfoy grinned with an ugly expression as he fiddled with the wand in front of Neville, who was clearly teasing him.
