Chapter 30: Participation (Seeking Follow-up!! )

When Hermione led Harry to the lobby, she found that there was already a long dueling table, and the area around this dueling table was already full of young wizards.

Louis gave a cursory glance, Neville, Seamus, Malfoy, the Weasley brothers, Wood, Hannah, Cedric, all here. And, of course, our savior, Harry.

But for everyone, he glanced at it lightly and then withdrew his gaze.

Hermione, on the other hand, stood side by side with Louis, waiting for the Dueling Club to begin.

As the clock ticked by, two o'clock in the afternoon, it was not long before Professor Snape appeared and arrived at the stage of the dueling club, but his foot seemed to be a little inconvenient, and his left hand, which seemed to be injured.

Seeing the wound on Snape's foot, Louis knew that it was bitten by Louwe, and it seemed that Professor Quirrell had gone to steal the Philosopher's Stone that night?

But what about his hands?

"Professor Snape's feet and hands? Is this hurting? Hermione observed, "But how did he get hurt?" ”

In fact, it wasn't just Hermione, anyone with eyes could see this.

Louis heard her muttering and asked:

"Hermione, on Halloween, did Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell go when you called someone?"

"Why do you ask this?" It wasn't clear what Louis was asking for now, but she told him, "Go." He added, "And Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

"It's okay, I'll ask." Louis said perfunctorily.

"Cut, don't say it if you don't want to."

Hermione's complaint made Louis a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned and did not change his face when this incident had not happened, but he muttered in his heart.

Since Professor Quirrell and Professor Snape were both there that day, there shouldn't have been time to go to Loue's side, but this is even more strange, if he hadn't gone to Louwe's side, how did Professor Snape get hurt?

And now the dueling club? He remembered that Lockhart had started it in his second year, and how he had become Professor Snape.

When Lockhart was in his second year, he remembered starting the Dueling Club to increase his reputation, but only on the premise that he was under the threat of a basilisk.

His intuition told him that these two things seemed to be more or less related, and it was even possible that the reason for these two things was one.

Could it be that there will be any danger in Hogwarts lately? Basilisk discovered? It's unlikely, the basilisk will definitely attack, so what's going on?

"Louis, Louis, Professor Quirrell is here." Hermione whispered behind his ear.

Louis came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at the time, it was already two and fifteen, and said suspiciously, "Why is Professor Quirrell so late?" ”

"I don't know, maybe there's something." Hermione replied.

"Quiet!"

Snape's voice echoed through the hall.

Some of the noisy voices in the lobby suddenly disappeared.

He gave Quirrell a cold look, he didn't say anything on this occasion, but directly addressed everyone present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Dumbledore asked me to start the Dueling Club as a way to increase your defenses in the event of danger."

"But before that, let me say a word, don't fill your thick skulls with liquid when learning duels here, I'll only do it once. Oiled your brains, or you won't be able to turn around. ”

With that, he shouted.

"Quirinus!"

"S... Snape: Actually, I ...... I think it may not be necessary...... Well, I'll do it. Quirrell wanted to persuade him again, but looking into Snape's eyes, he knew he couldn't hide.

The two raised their wands in front of each other in respect, and then they walked to each end of the field.

"Except for your weapons! (Expelliarmus)" Professor Snape didn't hesitate, and fired a disarming spell directly at Quirrell.

"Armor protection! (Protego)”

A white light blocked in front of Professor Quirrell and bounced back, striking the wall of the lobby behind Professor Snape.

"Confusing!"

"Bastards fall to the ground!"

"Except for your weapons!"

……

Then, Louis saw a more exciting wizarding duel, and I have to say that although Quirrell now has a Voldemort behind his head, he still has his own strength.

In short, at least it's a lot more exciting than a duel like Lockhart's.

Although it was only one minute, Luis could hear seven or eight spells clearly, and five or six that he couldn't hear clearly, and in the end, it seemed that Professor Snee's injury ended in a draw.

When he had done this, Professor Snape said to everyone:

"This is the most basic duel, in fact, in my opinion, this is still the castrated version, so if there is a retreat, you can leave now, but be careful, the dueling club will take up a lot of your time, and I don't want to take time off in my club."

"Now, led by the Slytherin prefects, assisted by Draco, the list of people who participated in the dueling club has begun."

After Snape finished speaking, he glanced at Quirrell, and Quirrell seemed to understand what Snape meant, and the two left for a while.

After the two professors left, the lobby suddenly became noisy.

The Slytherin prefect conjured up a table with pen and paper on top of it.

Then, all the Slytherin House members in the room began to line up, and Malfoy assisted beside the Slytherin prefect.

Louis saw Malfoy give him a smug look.

After thinking about it, he took Hermione's hand and walked to the middle of the line.

"Louis?" Hermione exclaimed.

"Sister, don't worry about the others, the dueling club can help us improve ourselves, and did you see the spell just now?" Then, he whispered his guess to Hermione.

"I have a feeling that there may be some unknown danger in the school."

Hermione looked at Louis with a look on her face that said, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"I wish I was kidding you." Louis pouted.

Seeing this, Hermione didn't say anything, just lined up quietly.

In addition to Louis and Hermione and the Slytherin students, there were also a number of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students who also joined the dueling club, and only the Gryffindor students were a little hesitant.

Because they seem to be inherently at odds with Slytherin.

Ron taunted over there, "Tsk, look at the two good students of our academy, they really disgraced the face of our academy." ”

Fred frowned when he heard this: "Ron, how can you say that, they are your classmates. ”

George also said, "Ron, we Weasleys and classmates have a good relationship, you can't be different. ”

"I don't want to hear people say that our brother is a troublemaker."

"If we hear it, we'll tell our mother."

"Let her beat you up."

The two sang and talked in harmony, and also walked to the queue.

Harry looked at Louis over there, thinking that Louis had come here just to glance at him, and then to Quidditch.

Joining should try to repair the relationship with Louis, right?

With this in mind, he also took a step.

But then he was stopped by Ron, "Hey Harry, you're my brother, you can't betray me." ”

"What is betrayal, Ron!"

Harry frowned, he felt bad about Ron right now, especially when he thought of the somewhat mean things he had just said.

"Isn't that a betrayal? I just said that the two people who went over there have disgraced the face of our academy, you just go over, what is this not a betrayal? Ron said angrily.

"But your two brothers are gone, aren't they?" Harry asked, "Also, this is the dueling club founded by Professor Snape, and it is facing all the students of Hogwarts, so what are you talking about betrayal?" ”

Ron was speechless, but he couldn't stop Harry from joining the Dueling Club.

Eventually, he took a deep breath and walked towards the group over there.
