Joel looked at Professor Flitwick's eager gaze and had to agree.

After the candidates of the four college teams were discussed, the competition schedule was officially determined.

Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor – the winners of the four houses will play in the final next week, with the losers battling for third place.

There are 7 people in each house, which means that there are 14 duels in one night.

The five professors first set up the ring, which was located in the center of the auditorium, and was much larger than the previous one, enough for the students in the auditorium to see every detail of the ring.

The Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff duel took the lead, and after a duel between the first and second grades, the two houses fought to a 1-1 draw.

Most of the junior students are not proficient in dueling skills, and their clumsy spells are so skewed that they can't even aim at each other's bodies, procrastinating and boring, and the students in the audience are drowsy.

It wasn't until Joel and his opponent, Kenneth Toller, stepped onto the stage that the students got excited.

"Is this the last time the Dueling Club was in the limelight?" Several Hufflepuff girls in the audience giggled and laughed, "I think this brother is so handsome......"

"I've also heard that he has a Merlin medal at a young age, and his grades are quite good," said Joel, and the badger house girls were interested, "It's my ideal type." ”

"Beatrice, how about you go after him?" Several people instigated the beautiful girl with the best conditions among them, "You will definitely be able to catch it as soon as you make a move!" ”

"Aren't you afraid?" Hufflepuff sophomore Ernie McMillan was upset that Joel had stolen the attention of a girl of his class, and couldn't help but say, "Everyone thinks he's probably the heir to Slytherin,"

"Do you think the heir of Slytherin will be a Ravenclaw?" "The heir must have a certain Slytherin quality, Joel Taylor is clearly not one of them, I trust him. ”

With a sweet smile on her face, Beatrice glanced up at Joel in the ring, her eyes sparkling.

The two house teams were not far apart, and Haylis saw the conversation taking place in the Hufflepuff team, and her sense of crisis quickly swelled.

She knew the Hufflepuff girl named Beatrice Shafiq, who was also from the pure-blooded twenty-eight families, and was weaker than the Selwyn family in terms of strength, but in the eyes of others, she was also a behemoth, and Helis did not have a good relationship with her, and felt that this girl was in front of her and behind her back.

Although he doesn't look down on the other party's character, there is one thing that is recognized in the British pure-blood circle - Beatrice is very beautiful, blonde and fair-skinned, with a sweet smile, like a princess who came out of a painting.

And what about yourself?

Haylis looked down at herself, with black hair and black eyes, a flat body, and facial features that were at most delicate in her own opinion, and they were not compatible with beauty.

She was distressed, if Beatrice really ......

In the ring, Kenneth Toller drew his wand and bowed face to face with Joel.

In the same grade, he knew that Joel had excellent grades and was a kind person, but he didn't participate in the dueling club last month, and only learned about the duel between Joel and Haylis from a few classmates and friends, but the words were far less convincing than what he saw with his own eyes.

In Kenneth's opinion, Joel is naturally very strong, but not to the point where he needs to look up, after all, he is only a third-year student.

After the duel with Haylis, Joel's popularity at Hogwarts has risen again, with full magic lessons, Merlin medals, top grades, handsome looks, and powerful dueling skills, Kenneth is desperate to defeat Joel and take Joel's place in the limelight.

Joel could read the desire in Kenneth's eyes, six paces away, and Professor Lockhart's countdown rang in his ears.

He took a deep breath, the magic in his body was running at high speed, and after counting down to one hour, his body suddenly rushed straight forward.

Kenneth didn't expect Joel to make such a move, and he didn't even release the spell and rushed towards him, which seemed to him to be tantamount to admitting defeat.

"Hot and spicy!" Surprise is surprise, but Kenneth won't miss a chance to attack.

The curse flew towards Joel's face, and he unhurriedly bent down to dodge it.

Taking advantage of the momentary time when the spell was cast, Joel seized the loophole and struck a petrification spell.

Kenneth's previous desire came from self-confidence, and his strength was not weak, so at this time, he forcibly lifted the magic power in his body and returned a spell, and the two spells collided in the air, producing bursts of strong light, making him temporarily lose Joel's position.

When the glare cleared, Kenneth noticed that Joel had rushed in front of him, and in a panic, he hurriedly arranged an iron armor spell in front of him.

But Joel's full force shattered the hastily arranged iron armor spell, and Kenneth flew out of the ring and fell to the ground unconscious.

Professor Sprout on the side hurriedly added a few resuscitation charms to him, Kenneth woke up and was extremely disappointed, he thought back to the duel with Joel just now, and then remembered that he had more ways to pull in a roundabout way, at least he wouldn't lose so ugly.

However, the outcome of the duel is often determined by a few choices between the electric and flint, and he is convinced to lose, and his skills are not as good as others.

The students in the audience applauded, although this duel was much more exciting than before, but it still did not meet their expectations - the gap between Kenneth and Haylis was too big to cause trouble for Joel, but many Yan Gou were very satisfied, didn't this duel better set off Joel's strength?

Beatrice Shafiq raised a sweet smile and met Joel as he got out of the ring, and Helis stopped and clenched her fists, her nails slightly embedded in her palms.

After receiving a pleasantry from Professor Flitwick, Joel wants to return to the Ravenclaw squad to stay with Haylis.

Unexpectedly, a Hufflepuff girl blocked his tracks.

He glanced down and saw that it was a cute girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Hello," Beatrice said in a sweet tone, "I'm Beatrice Shafiq, maybe I can have the honor of ......"

"Hey Beatrice," Joel saw Haylis huddled behind Cho and Allen at a glance, and hurriedly looked left and right at him, "I want to find my girlfriend, can I get in trouble?" ”

Beatrice's white face was stained pink, and she was even more embarrassed by the little sister and the boys who had always admired her.

She bit her lower lip, still a little unwilling, "I just want to get to know Mr. Taylor......"

"I don't think it's necessary," Joel directly blocked the words back, Haylis has been under a lot of pressure lately, and he doesn't want to make his girlfriend suspicious, "I'm busy." ”

He gently squeezed Beatrice away and walked over to Helis, gently holding her palm, Joel could feel his girlfriend's slightly trembling body.

"What's wrong?" Joel asked, then figured it out, and whispered in Helis's ear, "The girl stopped halfway to get to know me, and I didn't agree." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Hearing this, Haylis's mood calmed down.

She opened her fingertips with ease, and although the tiger's mouth hurt, the villain in her heart was cheering.

Suppressing the panic in her heart, Haylis smiled and looked at the ring with Joel.

Cedric Diggory, who had just come on the court, knocked a Ravenclaw girl to the ground without much effort, and his handsome face made a group of girls unable to hold it, and they screamed in low excitement.

Beatrice looked at Helis and Joel, who were close together, and bit her lower lip, her ruddy face gradually losing its color.

She didn't expect Joel Taylor's girlfriend to be Helis Selwyn, whom she knew.

Beatrice couldn't understand the reason for Joel's rejection, in her opinion, Haylis only had good academic performance and family background, was introverted and not good at words, and her face was not as beautiful as her.

Don't adolescent boys like girls like themselves, who are generous, sweet, and kind-hearted?

Beatrice, who has always been popular among boys, has a sense of frustration, but then there is a resentment, since Joel is ignoring her, then she naturally will not let Helis get what she wants.

In the previous six duels, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff fought to a 3-3 draw, and the last appearance was Caitlyn Raul in the seventh grade, she is also a good fighter, summoning spells with one hand, all kinds of shields and swords in the air condensed solid shapes, extremely sharp both offensive and defensive.

Her opponent was Hufflepuff's Steve Lestrange, the president of the Hogwarts Male Student Council of 1992, who caused Catelyn a lot of trouble with the Bat Spirit Charm and the Flock of Birds, two spells that relied on advanced Transfiguration.

The duel was so intense that the students in the audience held their breath and focused their attention on the two in the ring, even Joel.

The various spells seemed to be integrated into the two of them, a completely subconscious self-reaction, a conditioned reflex to deal with each different situation.

Looking at the spells in the ring, Joel always felt that there was a different kind of tacit understanding between the two of them, as if this kind of game had been practiced countless times.

The spell lasted for two minutes, and in the end, Steve Lestrange was the first to drain his mana, and was slashed in the shoulder by a large weakened sword from Catelyn, and the black robe was cut open, leaving a shallow wound on it.

Professor Flitwick applauded excitedly, and the students in the audience also blushed with excitement.

If last month's showdown between Joel and Haylis was a battle of strategy, then the battle between Steve and Caitlyn was a naked spell match, unreasonable and unreasonable.

Joel tried to put himself in the shoes of Steve Lestrange and wonder if there was another way to win, and the results were the same.

Caitlyn was a little outrageously strong, not only her, but also Steve, the Birds Swarm and the Bat Spirit Spell were extremely difficult spells, but he was easy to use without any pressure.

If the two student council presidents of the Duel Club had faced off against each other last month, Joel and Haylis would not have received such high praise.

With a smile on her face, Catelyn stepped forward and reached out her hand, and Steve, who was sitting on the ground, took the slender hand and stood up, giving Catelyn a gentle smile.

The sensitive Joel is sure that the relationship between the two is not simple.

Contrary to the "friendship first, competition second" spirit between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Slytherin were gunpowder from the start.

The two little boys in the first grade didn't learn a few spells, and after attacking each other for a moment and finding that the spells couldn't target each other at all, they directly tore them apart, and the little eagle badger in the audience was shocked when they saw the ferocity.

After five minutes of wrestling, Professor McGonagall called a halt, and Slytherin won the first match, and the crowd in the Snake House was in high spirits.

When it was the second-year duel, a drowsy Joel noticed that something was wrong, and the duel between Harry and Malfoy was dueled.

Not only the students of the four houses, but even the professors knew that Malfoy and the boy who did not die would not deal with him, and he would be choked when he saw him.

Snape whispered an idea to Malfoy's ear, and Malfoy sneered and looked at Harry with a malicious look.

Professor McGonagall, as the head of Gryffindor, didn't teach Harry any spelling techniques, and let him stand on the stage.

"Three, two, one......" Lockhart shouted the countdown from the ring.

"Grinning hula!"

Harry threw a small curse, which Malfoy easily dodged, but he didn't fight back, and the tip of his wand gathered a deep black light, sending chills through Harry's heart to watch.

"Except for your weapons!" Harry didn't want to give Malfoy time to prepare, so he hastily disarmed the spell.

But Malfoy's spell was ready.

With a bang, the tip of his wand exploded, and the black light turned into dozens of cobras about three meters long and arm thick, which meandered forward on the ground with their triangular heads held high, making threatening gestures.

The sudden appearance of the snake group made the students in the audience panic, and Haylis's heart tightened, and she clenched Joel's arm beside her, and many girls screamed in fright.

The professors didn't intend to stop them, and the four of them looked at Snape with a hint of meaning.

Joel frowned, this spell is not on the same level as the oolong out of the hole in the original plot, looking at this posture, the former is much more powerful.

He was distraught, and his eyes couldn't stop moving on the snakes in the ring, and suddenly he noticed that he was tired.

The snakes just surrounded Harry and didn't come forward to bite him, and with Malfoy's relationship with Harry, these snakes should have attacked at the first opportunity.

I see, Joel knew in his heart that the spell that Malfoy had cast was not strictly a summoning spell at all, in other words, it was a silver pewter spearhead.

The real summoning charm, such as the one used by Catelyn before, not only resembles the real thing, but also has the corresponding characteristics, the sword can leave scars on Steve's body, but these snakes can't do it, they only have the appearance of snakes.

Snape had just given Malfoy an idea, so was this fake summoning spell also Snape's instructions?

What does he want to do? Was it just to intimidate Harry to satisfy his own bad tastes?

Joel didn't think Snape should be so boring.
