Joel in the ring was secretly annoyed, he was still careless after all, but he didn't expect Haylis to hide an unknown hole card that was useless.

The vines seemed to contain some kind of toxin, causing him to lose control of his body and just stand stiff in the ring.

Helis didn't ignore her boyfriend, and when she woke up, she quickly tapped Joel's head with her wand.

It was like a clear spring pouring down from the top of his head, dispelling all the numbness and making Joel shiver all over his body.

Professor McGonagall stood in the ring and explained the duel to the students in the audience, she was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and even talked a little more: "Mr. Taylor understands where his advantage lies, and from the beginning he has approached Miss Selwyn in an attempt to use the high frequency of spell attacks to win, and Miss Selwyn knows that the odds of winning by closing the distance are very low, so she specially retained her magic power and laid a series of traps on the way back......"

Joel didn't listen to the rest of the words, Haylis had already pulled him out of the ring, and on the way, the students cast their eyes, some curious, some envious, and a few girls looked at Joel with a little admiration.

"It's so strong...... "Harry, who witnessed the whole duel, and Hemin beside him sighed, only a grade apart, but Harry could sense the difference in combat power between him and Joel.

"There's no need to be presumptuous," Hermione tapped on Harry's head, who was still rubbing the soft hair on top of his head because Harry wasn't tall, "You're already a lot better than your peers." ”

In another corner of the auditorium, Lockhart also noticed the duel between Joel and Haylis, his brow furrowed, and his suspicion grew.

There was a look of approval in Snape's eyes, this summer, he only learned Joel's true identity from Dumbledore, but he didn't expect that his parents were spies for the Order of the Phoenix hidden in the Death Eaters, just like himself.

This is also understandable, before the death of Harry's mother Lily Potter, Snape was an out-and-out Death Eater, he was also a stuffy gourd on weekdays, and he was also friendly with Lucius in the Death Eater team, usually indifferent to other things, only focusing on the potions in his crucible, and he didn't know that there were also employees of the Department of Mysteries in the Death Eater team.

Thinking of this, he looked at Malfoy and Harry, and his heart was on fire again.

"Potter!" Snape said in an unquestioning tone, "You come and play against Draco Malfoy, you can only win and not lose." ”

Joel and Haylis, on the other side, unaware of Malfoy and Harry's unwarranted disaster, stood hand in hand on the corner landing of the staircase of the Ravenclaw Tower, blowing the evening breeze and looking out the window at the hazy night scene.

"Your dueling skills are pretty good, it's really beyond my expectations." Joel looked into Helis's eyes and whispered.

He knew that Helis's spell level was definitely not weak, but he didn't expect her to be so strong, if it weren't for the regional restrictions of the ring that made it easier for him to get close to Helis, the outcome of this duel was still unknown.

Haylis took Joel's compliments as they were, "I didn't expect myself to be so powerful, but I'm so tired, hurry up." ”

"What's the matter with those vines of yours?" Joel asks the question that has been bothering him since the duel.

It wasn't a summoning spell based on experience, but with Joel's size, he hadn't seen this type of spell.

Haylis smirked twice, "You were injured in the first two weeks, and I figured it out myself, isn't it very strong?" ”

"Figured it out yourself?" Joel didn't expect to hear the answer from Haylis.

"yes, you're hurting the plastic sisters of Cho and Marietta, and if you don't take me, I'll have to do my herbology classwork alone," Helis said, "and when I'm bored, I wonder if I can apply these plants to spells." ”

"And I tried it twice, and it worked," Haylis shrugged, "but it wasn't very effective, and most of the time it could only be used as a trap." ”

"Can you handle spell chanting and swinging staff?" Joel subconsciously asked the question, and then froze.

As far back as he could remember, Helis never uttered any strange spells during the duel, nor did she simply wave her wand and cast silent spells.

"Silent spell casting without a wand?" He was stunned.

"yes, otherwise how could it be 'I tried twice and succeeded,'" Haylis said angrily, she slowly opened her clenched fist, and a budding flower appeared in it, with a green and fragrant branch, "Sister, am I very talented?" ”

On birthdays, Haylis is a month older than Joel, and since they were together, Haylis has had to pester Joel to make him call her sister, and she doesn't know what weird fetishes are.

Sister? Joel sneered in his heart, you are a stinky sister in terms of age.

Helis doesn't hide anything from Joel, she tells Joel how to practice and asks him to try it too.

After five minutes, Joel gave up the idea, what sensed the mood of each plant...... He can't do it at all, okay?

As Haylis said, Joel can only end up putting it all down to her talent.

Haylis can now only cover a small area of plants, and has even fewer at her disposal to attack, and the vines that attack Joel are variants of the Devil's Net, which are more aggressive and paralyzing, making them the best choice for setting traps.

Joel had a bold idea in his head, if Helis's magic power grew to a certain amount, would this ability be used as a wooden escape in the Hokage?

He thought about it, and he almost couldn't control the fingers he wanted to seal.

It is said to be a dueling club, but the main purpose is to prevent emergencies, and for this purpose, Joel and Haylis have very little to improve in the eyes of the professors.

Joel taught Haylis a way to imagine himself as one of the parties in the ring, considering what to do next in the duel.

For example, the battle between Harry and Malfoy, unlike the original book, Snape did not teach Malfoy any private goods, the two used a bunch of evil curses in the ring to build a duel, and in terms of dueling strength, Malfoy and Harry are not weak, as Hermione said, they are much stronger than their peers, but they are full of flaws in the eyes of Joel and Halis.

The two of them chose one side to take their own place, and then observed the situation and said their next choice, Joel was particularly shrewd in choosing the chat position next to Professor McGonagall, and also took a lot of dueling tips from the strict professor's mouth.

Over the course of the night, the duo's understanding of duels improved rapidly.

The four deans consulted with Professor Lockhart and decided to hold a dueling club on the third Friday night of each month, which they intended to continue as a long-term club event.

The next morning, Joel got out of bed with a sore back, and the three roommates were still asleep, and they came to the auditorium alone for breakfast after washing up as usual.

On weekends of the week, there are always very few people who have breakfast in the auditorium, and most of the people are sleeping in bed.

No sooner had he slathered two slices of toast with jam than the owl arrived with the freshly baked Daily Prophet, and Joel paid for it before unfolding the newspaper after sending the owl away.

The first version was a contest for the venue of the 1998 Quidditch World Cup, and finally to Japan in the East, and the Japanese representatives in the headlines hugged each other excitedly, this was the first time they had hosted such a high-level sporting event, which was sure to give a shot in the arm to the Japanese wizarding economy.

In the second edition, Lucius Malfoy went to the Ministry of Magic yesterday to appear in court to deal with the second appeal of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, although the director of the department, Amelia Bones, used public opinion to pressure the members of the Wizengamot, but could not bear the Malfoys gave too much money, and the final vote was very different.

Malfoy is acquitted, and the diary is returned to its rightful owner.

Joel's heart was half-raised, and at this moment he felt that the toast in his mouth was not fragrant.

I didn't expect that "being rich means being able to do whatever you want" also applies in the wizarding world.

If you want to make Malfoy unlucky, you still have to make more money, if you have money in your hand, you can smash the members of the Wizengamot with the money directly, and this time Lucius doesn't have to go to Azkaban for a few days?

Joel sighed, remembering Wilde's famous quote: "When I was young, I thought money was paramount, but this year I have come to find that it is."

He has always been jealous, the Malfoy family provoked him three times and twice, the old Malfoy withheld the inheritance of the original owner of the body and did not pay it back, and the little Malfoy provoked the conflict between the Selwyn siblings, and Joel had a lot less time to chat with her after Helis became the heir to the family.

Joel didn't know how much property the Malfoy family had, but he had to make the Malfoy family pay some price, and this time Riddle's diary made Lucius pay a lot of money out, and it seems that the Malfoy family can still afford it, what if they come two or three more times?

Joel spent most of her weekends in the library with Helis, and on Friday night she went to the dueling club, which delayed Helis a lot of her studies, and she had to catch up this weekend, and not only that, but she also had to squeeze out the time to go on a Hogsmeade date with Joel.

In addition, after entering the third grade, three more elective courses were added, and Haylis had less time outside of class, and she barely finished the essays she had accumulated from morning to night on weekends.

After she finished writing the research paper on Muggle electricity assigned by the Muggle Studies professor, she stopped the pen at hand and rubbed her wrist, and looked at Joel, who was sitting opposite her, holding "The Great Spell of the Last Two Hundred Years", he seemed to be a little sleepy, his eyes were half-squinted, his expression was tired, and his hair was rubbed into a bird's nest at some point, but there was a kind of decadent beauty.

As it approached eight o'clock, Helis began to pack her school bag, and she said softly to Joel, "Thank you for your hard work, stay with me so late every day." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard," Joel blinked and closed the book in his hand, "Is it hard to accompany your girlfriend?" ”

Hylis pursed her lips and snickered, she tossed the heavy textbook into her bag, then used the levitation charm to lighten it slightly, and followed Joel out of the library with her back on her back.

"If you come to the library to study in the future, you must call me," Joel looked at his girlfriend, "I will accompany you when you are busy." ”

"It's too dangerous to walk at night." The main reason is that Joel didn't say it, Riddle's diary is now in Lucius's hands, he is not sure whether Lucius is going to continue the plan, and now he regrets it, why didn't he expect Lucius to buy the Wizengamot to interfere with the verdict?

"Actually, I'm here mainly because I'm afraid you'll be bored," Haylis said silly, looking down at her and Joel's shadows stretching and overlapping in the candlelight, "If you're in the Ravenclaw common room, you won't find any interesting books to read." ”

"I'm not afraid of being bored, I can look at your cute face all day," Joel hurriedly followed the topic, and the love words came as soon as he opened his mouth, "In the future, the two of us will stay in the self-study area in the common room, where it will be quieter." ”

Helis's fair face was stained with a thin layer of red, like rouge spreading out on the warm white jade.

She whispered something to herself, and Joel was immersed in thinking about how to backstab the Malfoy family and didn't hear it.

"What did you say?" He asked Helis softly with a frown.

Helis lowered her head suddenly, and now her pinna was also red with drunkenness.

"If you don't hear it...... Hellis dressed as an ostrich.

"No, I want to listen." Joel wasn't really curious, but mainly because she felt a little pity for Hylis's shy appearance and wanted to tease her.

"Oops......" Haylis was stopped by him in the middle of the tower stairs, in a dilemma, she usually chatted with Joel and seemed quite bold, but in fact she was like a snail, very scared, and retracted into her shell at every turn without saying a word.

"I say......" she coughed lightly, "you're lovely in my eyes, too." ”

The voice is tactful, but with a bit of British English seriousness and dignity.

What, pretending to be cute?

But Joel's heart was hit by the bull's-eye with her fluttering words, and it trembled slightly, sending a signal to Joel's brain.

But his mind was empty, and his gaze softened, "Promise me Helis that you are not allowed to say such things to others." ”

Helis glanced at him, and knew that he was also a little shy and bolder, and the snail slowly stretched out his head to spy on the outside world.

"Of course, do you think I'm casual?" Her face was cold.

"No, no...... That was not what I meant. Joel hurriedly responded.

As soon as she said this, Joel realized that she had been tricked by Helis, and scratched her with his hands, and made her cheeks flush before letting her go.

Everything is on track, time flies, but countless conspiracies are taking root in the shadows, ready to show their sharp fangs and aim at its targets.
