Chapter 136: Actual Combat Assessment (Chapter 10 of the First Order)

After Helena left, Dumbledore played with the small crown in his hand and said with some surprise: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to fix the Ravenclaw crown, I didn't expect you to actually succeed." ”

Calvin replied with a smile, "Recently I found the magic codex left behind by Lady Ravenclaw, and this is where the strength to heal the Longbottoms comes from. ”

"Looks like you're lucky," Dumbledore smiled strikingly, "So this, do you want to take it back?" After all, you're redoing it. ”

"No," Calvin raised an eyebrow, "you should discuss with Professor Flitwick how you should use it." ”

-----------------

It's the weekend, and the five first-year wizards are back in Calvin's office, and it's interesting to note that Draco is standing closer to Neville, which shows that the conflict between them is already minor. And there is still a lot of distance between Harry and the other three and Malfoy.

It was mainly Harry and Draco who hated each other, and Calvin deliberately arranged them together when teaching in groups, but the contradictions between them did not diminish because of this, but began to compare themselves with each other. While the contradictions continue to increase, the progress of the two is also rapid.

Calvin cleared his throat and said, "Today we will not teach in groups, you have been studying with me for more than two months, and it is time to conduct an assessment." ”

Hearing the word assessment, Ron and Neville couldn't help but shudder. Hermione was also a little nervous, and she began to quickly recite words at the very beginning, remembering the Transfiguration she had learned on Calvin's giant chessboard.

Harry and Draco looked at each other with a keen eye, it was a good opportunity for them to overcome each other. Draco was hell-bent on proving that he was no worse than Harry, and Harry was hell-bent on teaching the arrogant yellow-haired boy a lessonβ€”he had never lacked courage, only a reason to do it, especially now that the godfather had given him a cover.

"Alright, let's draw lots."

Amor straightened up and began to shake the wheel, and soon shook out six balls, Calvin picked it up and looked at it: "Very good, first round, Hermione vs. Draco, Harry vs. Neville, Ron's opponent is me." ”

"Professor Capet? You? Ron's teeth shuddered involuntarily, "How could I possibly defeat you?" ”

"Oh, don't be nervous, Ron," Capet tapped his wand on his forehead, and out of his back came a boy about their height, who looked like Calvin, "Your opponent is eleven-year-old me." ”

Ron remembered Professor Capet's horrific record of bringing down forty-one Slytherin students in his first year, and his legs still went limp unconsciously.

With a wave of his hand, Calvin entered the painting where Harry and Draco were in class, with five young wizards and a doppelganger.

Actually, it's a big ring. Calvin found a chair and sat down, directing Hermione and Draco into the ring.

Draco walked into the ring with steady steps, while Hermione staggered to a halt and said with a slight grievance, "Professor Cape, I learned Transfiguration with you, how can I defeat Draco?" ”

Calvin sighed lightly, Hermione's talent is indeed good, but sometimes she is too rational.

"Use your imagination, Hermione, Transfiguration can also show powerful effects in actual combat, don't stick to the technique, the focus is on transfiguration." Calvin opened his mouth to encourage, "You're a Gryffindor, don't be afraid. ”

Hermione took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, flashing her wand at Draco.

Draco bowed to Hermione in silence, though he didn't really like the Muggle-born little witch, Professor Capet had always taught him to respect his opponents.

"Hurry up and be imprisoned!" Draco shouted at Hermione first. A twine, the size of a little thumb, flew towards Hermione.

In his opinion, this victory will be easy to win, and there is no need to insult his opponent too much.

But Hermione was the smartest little witch in the first year after all. She cast a Transfiguration Charm on her shoes, causing her to rise sharply by a dozen inches, and the hemp rope flew past her.

Draco didn't expect Hermione to dodge his spell and flick two more confinement spells in a row.

A shallow smile appeared on Hermione's face, who had dodged her first attack, and she began to regain her confidence. She controls the hemp rope on the ground and transforms it into a flock of birds. The birds helped Hermione block the next two spells.

Then, Hermione controlled the debris to turn into ants, moving forward and backwards towards Draco, trying to climb on top of him.

Draco did panic a little, and began to slap the crawling ants with his hands, "Get out of here, you bugs!" ”

While Draco was busy dealing with the ants, Hermione controlled a chair under the stage to turn into a lynx, ready to continue attacking Draco.

Professor Capet's teachings rang in Draco's heart at this time: in battle, distraction is the most taboo, and all attention should be on the opponent.

So he forcibly resisted the crawling bite of the ants on his body, raised his wand and aimed it at Hermione, who was performing the Transfiguration technique, "Faint!" ”

Harry in the audience saw it clearly, and shouted without thinking about it: "Little ......"

However, before he could finish a sentence, Calvin covered his mouth. Harry looked up and saw Calvin's warning look, and nodded knowingly, indicating that he wouldn't cheat.

Sure enough, Hermione, who was concentrating on the Transfiguration, didn't notice the change in Draco, and by the time she realized the red light, it was too late to react.

However, the red light of the Unconscious Charm did not hit Hermione, and Calvin intervened to stop the spell and lift the Transfiguration Charm on the ants on Draco's body.

"Draco wins." Calvin simply announced the results.

Draco jumped off the stage with his head held high, glancing at Harry with contempt. Harry was unfazed by his provocation and ignored him, instead comforting Hermione, who was a little lost.

Soon, Harry and Neville were in the ring.

Harry bowed to Neville, wondering what he had learned from Professor Capet.

Harry's choice, like Draco's, started with a Spell of Imprisonment, but the hemp rope he shot was stronger, thicker, and faster than Draco's.

However, Neville spun slightly, dodging Harry's hemp rope, and then he grabbed his newly purchased wand and shouted, "Blade unsheathed!" ”

A short sword made of black iron appeared in Neville's hand.

Neville took the dagger and began to move forward gradually, either using the dagger to pick up Harry's hemp rope or dodging Harry's spell with his steps, the distance between the two had changed from sixty paces to less than forty, and Neville had not used any magic except for the initial spell.
