Contrary to what the young wizards had expected, Snape did not reprimand Arthur again after saying this, but let him return to the dormitory alone.

In the envious eyes of the little wizards, Arthur could only walk into the dormitory. He knew that Professor Snape's failure to reprimand him would cause the little wizards to be dissatisfied, but there was no way anyone could let them party in the common room and be caught by Snape, and he didn't get involved.

Although it was said that leaving the common room without permission was a violation of Professor Snape's orders when he left, Arthur's behavior was not a big mistake compared to the rest of them.

The next day, Arthur walked out of the dorm early and went to Durmstrang Cafeteria with Pansy. Being stared at by a group of unfamiliar eyes during the meal made Arthur a little uncomfortable.

But it can't be helped, after all, they don't belong here.

"Hello, my name is Victor Krum."

Just as Arthur and the others were about to leave, a short-haired teenager came up to him and introduced himself.

"Hello, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that the other party did not want to shake hands with him, Arthur knew in his heart that the other party was coming to him with an unkind purpose.

In this regard, Arthur sighed secretly, he hadn't troubled these Durmstrang students, and the other party couldn't hold his breath and came to him in advance.

"I heard you're going to compete in the Potions Tournament, the Transfiguration Tournament, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts Tournament. So, you must be strong, can you have a wizard duel with me? ”

Krum looked at this Hogwarts student who was a head lower than him, looking weak, and wondered why the professor said that he was very powerful, and let himself poke her sharpness?

But compared to the professor's order, he couldn't refuse.

"Isn't it against school rules for students to engage in wizard duels in private?"

Pansy, who was beside Arthur, heard that the stinky boy in front of her, who looked like a stake, actually wanted to challenge Arthur, and she was a little angry and said coldly.

"Hahahaha!"

"It turns out that the students at Hogwarts are all good babies!"

“......”

Krum's appearance attracted the attention of the surrounding Durmstrang students, who put down their food and gathered around Arthur and Krum to watch, and when they heard Pansy's speech, they laughed disdainfully.

"You guys!" Pansy saw that the students dared to laugh at them, and raised her wand and wanted to do it, but Arthur stopped her.

"I agree to fight you in a duel, but I want to know what I will gain if you lose?"

Pulling Pansy behind him, Arthur glanced at the Durmstrang students, who were a bunch of proud bunches as Grindelwald had said.

"Haha! Do you hear that? This Hogwarts sprout actually thinks he can beat Krum! ”

"Crum may only be in his third year, but he's already the king of the Quidditch pitch! Where did he get his confidence? ”

"Maybe that's the self-confidence that the British are born with!"

"Haha!"

The surrounding Durmstrang students burst out laughing again when they heard Arthur's speech. In their minds, this first-year Hogwarts student actually thought that he could defeat Krum, which was really whimsical and daydreaming.

After Christmas, the biggest joke they've ever heard.

"Silent!"

Seeing that these Durmstrang students actually laughed at themselves, there was no need for Pansy to be angry, Arthur would also give them a beating. After all, this was what their headmaster had asked him to do.

The wand in his hand quickly waved in a circle overhead, and a surging magic ripple rippled throughout the Durmstrang cafeteria, and the students affected by the magic ripples were instantly speechless.

They tried to speak, but were shocked to find that their mouths were gone.

"Woooooooooooo

Fear crept through their hearts, and they could only make a snorting sound through their noses.

"Sure enough, you're strong. But by doing so, you'll offend all the Durmstrang students... Don't forget, you're only in the first grade. ”

Krum's face darkened, and he raised his wand and cast a spell on these classmates to lift the spell on them.

Spells, hypnosis-like spells, are controlled by the caster, and these Durmstrang students, after being spelled, think that their mouths are gone, and they can't make sounds, according to Arthur's mind.

"Yes, worthy of being a star student. Saw through my spell so quickly, but... Or is it that sentence, if you lose, what do I gain? ”

Ignoring the hateful gaze of the Durmstrang students around him, Arthur said to Krum in a cold tone.

"If I lose, I'll give you a broomstick signed by Kyle, which I've treasured for years."

Krum pondered for a moment, then promised Arthur.

Kyle, full name Kyle Poch. is the star Seeker of Krum's national Bulgarian Quidditch team and an idol of Krum. From an early age, he aspired to be a Quidditch player like Kyle Poch.

"Hmm... OK. ”

Arthur thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't care what he could get, saying this kind of thing was just to provoke these arrogant Durmstrang students, and now that the goal had been achieved, he didn't care what Krum used as a bargaining chip.

"What about you? If you lose, what do I gain? ”

Krum looked at Arthur's eyes sharp, like a sharp blade, and said in a deep voice.

Kyle Poch's signature broomstick is his most cherished keepsake. Now that he has come up with this as a lottery for wizard duels, Arthur must also come up with a lottery of corresponding value.

"Me? I'm not going to lose. ”

To heighten the anger of the Durmstrang students around him, Arthur glanced around them with haughty eyes.

As a sequence 8; Mind reader, in addition to being able to keenly capture the emotional changes of these people and Mohu's thoughts, his management of his own emotions and facial expressions has also reached the level of an actor.

If there is a Muggle director looking for him to act in a movie now, then the smallest actor must be him.

"You!"

After listening to Arthur's arrogant speech, Krum's anger instantly rose from his heart, and he was about to speak, only to see Arthur speak again.

"But after all, it's a wizard duel, and since you're all out of the picture. I can't help but say that. This is my Christmas limited autograph "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and if I lose, this book will be given to you. ”

Arthur pulled out a beautifully wrapped copy from his money bag and said to Krum.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? Arthur Pendrake?! It turns out that you are the author of "Where Are the Amazing Creatures". For the sake of you being the author of this book, I won't let you lose so ugly. ”

Seeing Arthur take out "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Krum suddenly thought that the young man in front of him was not the author of writing Grindelwald as a villain. "Where Are the Magical Creatures" has the same name as the Magical Creatures Protection textbook "Where Are the Magical Creatures", but their mysterious headmaster Durmstrang recommended them to read it.

Thinking of this, Krum figured out why he had a sense of familiarity after the professor told him the name.

"You don't have to, because if you don't give it your all, you're going to lose badly."

Arthur shook his head, his tone very flat.

"Sure enough, it's the author, it's really a poisonous tongue. Let's go, I'll take you to our wizard dueling arena! ”

Krum snorted, then turned and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Arthur, are you really going? He's a third-grader... What if..."

Pansy was terrified to see that Arthur was really going to have a wizarding duel with the third-year student from Durmstran. She knew that Arthur was strong. But after all, the other party is taller than Arthur, and his body is bigger than Arthur. What if the other party is in a hurry and directly raises his fist to attack Arthur?

"Rest assured, how can I fail in front of those who follow me."

Arthur smiled and comforted Pansy softly.

When Pansy heard Arthur's words, she immediately understood what they meant. Isn't the person who follows him himself? A man will only say that he will not fail in front of his beloved.

For a moment, Pansy's heart warmed.

But she didn't know that Arthur just said it casually, and felt that this sentence was very handsome and very hateful to say it in front of these Durmstrong students. Her subsequent understanding is nothing more than her own over-interpretation.

Led by Krum, Arthur and Pansy are "escorted" by a group of Durmstrang students to the castle's wizarding dueling arena.

The wizarding arena at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is five times larger than any classroom at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and with such a large space, of course, it is impossible to place only one dueling ring, but a full four.

The decoration style of the Wizard's Dueling Arena still inherits the Gothic style of orange and green, but with a more solemn and bloody atmosphere.

Durmstrang's students, as if they knew in advance that Krum was going to have a wizarding duel with a Hogwarts student, arrived at the duel venue early and sat on the observation decks around them.

"Krum! Krum! Krum! ”

When Krum walked in, the audience reverberated with a deafening loud voice, and they shouted Krum's name in unison, as if they were welcoming their king.

Pansy, who was following Arthur, trembled with fright from the voice, and the thought of retreating was born in her heart. But seeing Arthur follow Krum to the duel ring with a calm face, she began to cheer herself up in her heart.

Under the wizarding duel ring, she is the only Hogwarts student. If she's scared, she'll run away. Then there was no one to cheer Arthur on.

'Pansy, take courage. You want to be the one who will accompany Arthur for the rest of his life. Now, Arthur needs your encouragement, and you can't back down! ’

"Looks like you're famous!"

Listening to the Durmstrang students around him shouting Krum's name, Arthur fiddled with the wand in his hand and smiled at Krum, who was standing on the other side of the ring.

"I'm an ace for the Durmstrang Quidditch team. I was also selected by my country, Bulgaria, to the Quidditch Academy and I will be training at the Academy this summer. ”

Krum stroked his wand and said in a deep voice.

The wand in his hand is 10.25 inches long, made of hornbeam wood, and the core is the tendon cord of the dragon's heart, the work of Grigovich, the wand maker.

Grigovich, a German, was one of the three major wandmakers in Europe, along with the British Ollivanders.

Grigovich is best known to the world, in addition to being the holder of the Elder Wand, as well as a comment on the Hawthorn wand, "a very strange and contradictory wand".

He believed that the hawthorn wand was like the tree itself that gave birth to this contradictory quality, its leaves and flowers were healing, while the smell of its branches was lethal. If not handled properly, the spells they cast can fire backfire.

While some disagree, there's no denying that the hawthorn wand is great for healing magic, but it's also great for curses.

"I see, let's get started..."

When Arthur heard this, he suddenly thought to himself that if he defeated Krum with great speed, would he make these Durmstrang students think that he was cheating. Realizing this, he thought that Krum should be put in the water first, so that the Durmstrang students who were watching the battle would think that Krum would win, and that Arthur would defeat Krum when they saw the victory they wanted.

In that case, the expressions on their faces must be very rich, Arthur thought to himself.

After all, it was something that their headmaster, Grindelwald, had given him the job to kill Durmstrang's students, so Arthur didn't have much of a burden.

With Krum placing his wand behind him, the two performed wizarding duel etiquette on each other. The first battle between Hogwarts and Durmstrang at this exchange meeting officially began.

At the same time, the playground outside Durmstrang Castle attracted a young wizard from another magic academy.

Dressed in dark blue robes, they entered the castle under the guidance of the middle-aged wizard who had entertained Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This middle-aged wizard seems to have known for a long time that Krum is going to find Arthur for a wizarding duel today. He didn't immediately lead the group of Beauxbatons students to their common room, but instead led the Beauxbatons students towards the wizarding arena.

In the hallway, he meets Professor Snape and Lilith and invites them to visit their school's wizarding dueling arena. Professor Snape didn't want to go, but Lilith was interested in the arena.

There was no way, Professor Snape could only follow behind the middle-aged wizard, while responding to Beauxbatons' headmaster Olim Maxim's question about whether Dumbledore was well, etc., while silently thinking about Professor Durhamstrong, what did he want to do?

As a double agent, he wouldn't believe that the professor simply wanted him to visit the wizarding dueling arena.

"Looks like we're coming at the official time. Professor Snape, Professor Lilith, it's amazing how your student Arthur Pendragon has survived Krum's assault until now. ”

When a group of people walked into the wizard's dueling arena, the middle-aged wizard smiled and pointed to Arthur, who was fending off the Krum spell attack in the ring. His smile is hypocritically contrived and disgusting.

"Humph!"

Seeing Arthur in the ring, Snape immediately understood what the middle-aged wizard wanted to do, his face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.
