Cedric was a nice man, and his temper was very much in line with the Hufflepuff stereotype: gentle and friendly.

Facing the malicious Slytherin in front of him, he still didn't change his attitude: "So, is there something wrong?" ”

"You're Carl Turinus?" Before the leader could speak, the attendant beside him shouted, "Shouldn't he come out and speak?" ”

The man on his right said, "You can't blame him, Anthony, how can you expect him to learn manners in Hufflepuff?" ”

His yin and yang weirdness made a group of people burst into laughter, and also attracted the attention of Carl and the others.

Carl walked over, and he looked at the man in front of him, vaguely feeling that he had seen him there.

"What's the matter?" He saw that Cedric's face was not good-looking, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Carl Turinus?" The leader asked.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others?" Karl wondered, "Don't Slytherins have names?" ”

After discovering the disgust in the eyes of the person in front of him, Carl didn't think it would be a good habit to get used to him.

The man laughed instead: "Indeed, Karl Turinus, it was my negligence, even in the face of you, I should maintain the proper literacy. ”

"Alexis Selwyn, a member of the Selwyn family." He puffed up his chest and said solemnly, "You may not have heard my name, but everyone knows the name of the Selwyn family!" ”

The Selwyn family, of course Karl knew that this family, one of the so-called pure-blood 28 clans, was sparsely populated, and as a member of the pure-blood family, there was no doubt that it was a member of the Death Eaters.

"Then this member of the Selwyn family." Karl said, "Why did you bring so many people to me? ”

"Carl Turinus, I've heard of you a long time ago. At the Caro family banquet last year, the adults were talking about you. Alexis ignored Carl's inquiry and spoke nonchalantly.

"They say you're a genius, and Uncle Renos is very optimistic about you. Are you Muggle-born? ”

Karl looked at him silently, wanting to see what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"There is no doubt about it! I've never heard the surname Turinus. He scoffed, as if disdainful of the name.

Karl mentally decided that if this Alexis Selwyn did not state his purpose in three sentences, then he would not recommend playing the role of a "teacher" to teach him the common sense of speaking to the point.

Alexis was unaware of the anger in Karl's heart—perhaps aware of it, but not care—and continued: "I was surprised to hear from Graham, but I was sure when I got here. ”

"Carl Turinus, I ask you two questions, and you only need to answer yes and no." He narrowed his eyes, and there was a dangerous light in them.

Without waiting for Carl to answer, he shouted directly: "Do you know how to spell a body?!" ”

Karl raised his eyebrows, he didn't know how the secret of his transfiguration spell had been revealed, and he glanced quietly at Fred and George, as well as Lee Jordan, beside him.

These were the three who knew his secret, but none of them could have told Slytherin.

"What is the Illusion Charm?" Carl asked with an innocent face, he could have come casually with this kind of lie.

"Carl Turinus, don't try to quibble, since we are here, there must be evidence." He pushed out a little fat man hiding behind him.

"Graham, tell me what you've heard."

Graham, a name Carl had vaguely heard, seemed to be a Slytherin student in the same grade as himself.

"Last night I was playing in the veranda when I heard the fat lady complaining to Adolphbert Wolflin that a student in Tuesday had disturbed her rest several times last week, and the paint that had caused her skin to turn dull."

Second-graders, everyone in the room looked at Carl.

"The focus is on the conversation that follows." Graham said, "Wolflin lamented that the current Gryffindor students are so powerful, that some of them have learned the Illusion Charm in their first year, and it would be nice if they didn't wake them up in the middle of the night." ”

Adowbert Wolfflin, Carl felt a little itchy teeth, a man who was as annoying as the Principles of Magic he wrote.

"The fat lady said, it's him! It's been a long time since she'd seen a student who could master the Illusion Spell at such a young age. ”

Alexis motioned for Graham to stand down and said to Karl, "Carl, if you still have a bit of Gryffindor's sense of honor, then don't quibble!" ”

Carl was silent for a moment, he had already guessed why Alexis was here with so many people, and nodded, "Yes, it's me." ”

"Last year?"

"It's me, too."

As Carl admitted, the Slytherins immediately became agitated, and Carl could even see someone fumbling in their pockets.

"Good." Alexis nodded, stopping the restlessness of those behind him. "The rest is simple. Slytherin House had never suffered such a big loss. ”

"Especially me!" He gritted his teeth, "Do you know how ugly you made me in front of Joanna and how miserable it hurt me!" ”

He took a deep breath, "I don't care how Slytherin bothers you, that's their business. Carl, I apply for a duel with you! ”

Duel!

Everyone present who knew the meaning of this gasped.

Wizard duels, a tradition that has been gradually abandoned because of blood and cruelty.

But this is clearly not something to be abandoned for a pure-blood family that takes pride in their traditions.

"You?" Carl looked at the figure of the person in front of him, "You look like a senior?" ”

"But you're a genius who has mastered the Illusion Spell." Alexis sneered, "Carl, you are a bastard born of a mudblood, you dare to play a trick on a member of the Selwyn family, you have shamed the name Selwyn!" ”

"How dare you?!" Cedric, who had always been a good man, changed his face, and he stepped out before Carl, "Take back your words!" Alexis! You're insulting a good person! ”

Fred, George, Lee Jordan, Angelina······ All of Carl's friends from the wizarding family came forward angrily.

Naturally, the Slytherin people don't back down, they block the others.

"Mudbloods! I'm not going to take my word back, he's a mudblood! Alexis didn't back down in the slightest, his face became more and more hideous, "Carl, you're a mudblood!" You were the one who insulted me first! ”

"Accept my duel! I'm going to execute you myself with my wand! ”

Carl was very calm, he didn't know what the Mudblood was, but judging from the reaction of these pure-blood wizards, it was clearly an insult to his birth.

Ugly agitation.

"You're so confident?" Carl laughed instead, "Then I'll accept it." ”

"I'm willing to be Carl's assistant." Cedric was the first to say again, "I won't allow you to insult my friend like that!" ”
