Chapter 45: The Third Attack
Harley was about to ask Professor Snape for more tips, when suddenly, the auditorium was filled with green smoke.
Both Harley and Professor Snape were startled, and when they looked up, they realized that the auditorium had been in chaos for some time.
Many of the younger students did not choose to use magic, but instead their limbs were entangled.
In one of the few combinations that use magic, Seamus is kneeling and begging Neville not to die, as if he blew up the stage floor in front of Neville, injuring Neville.
Ron and Malfoy didn't know when they got together, one laughing wildly, the other dancing involuntarily on his legs, his hands still clinging to each other, his wand falling at his feet.
If you didn't look at the look in their eyes that they wanted to kill each other, Harley thought they were dancing.
As for the older students, they were even more ruthless, with two Slytherins with small tentacles popping up all over their bodies, and one Gryffindor with leeks coming out of his nostrils.
How tragic this is!
Professor Lockhart was jumping up and down the crowd at this point, shouting:
"Stand up, Ernie, you can do it!
Be careful, Daisy, and pinch your nose hard, and the nosebleed will stop in no time.
And Malfoy, Ron, I think you two might be able to use your perseverance to stop your current ...... Ballroom dancing? ”
Neither Professor McGonagall nor Professor Flitsch could stand it.
Is this a professor? God pinched his nose to stop the bleeding! Are you a wizard?
The two dutifully waved their wands to lift the spells on the little wizards, and by the way, helped some bleeding little wizards stop the bleeding.
Professor Snape's face sank when he saw the tragic state of the Slytherin students, and he turned his head and said to Harley in the most normal voice possible:
"Think about it yourself, I'll treat a few students and come back."
With that, Professor Snape flicked his black robes, grimaced with an iron face, and walked towards the Slytherin snakes with his wand.
……
The training that followed became much more standardized, and under the guidance of a dueling master like Professor Flitwick, many of the principled issues were corrected.
For example, the most important point is not to bow except for gentlemen's duels in the Middle Ages.
Otherwise, your enemies will never mind taking the opportunity to give you a few hard blows.
When Professor Flitwick participated in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament, he had seen a pure-blooded hairy boy who had just graduated do this.
At that time, the hairy boy only bowed slightly, and his eyes were not on the other party.
He was then rewarded with an explosive spell by the dark wizard on the opposite side, and he was almost killed, and it was forbidden to use the Unforgivable Charm in the game.
As for someone like Professor Lockhart who is eager to bow ninety degrees, Professor Flitwick thinks that every opponent is happy to touch him.
Professor Snape was entangled in affairs, and he didn't continue to review with Harley.
So Hallie slipped back to Hermione and sat on a chair by the wall, watching her duel with Luna.
It is said to be a duel, but in fact the two can only be called a display spell at best.
Hermione had a lot of spells, petrification charms and disarming charms flying out of the tip of her wand.
However, her aim was not very good, and Luna was very nimble, so the spells hit the ground.
As for Luna...... A first-year witch, although she comes from a wizarding family, doesn't need a decent spell at all.
So in Hallie's eyes, the two are more like naughty boys.
"Hermione, you should practice spell accuracy first, first hit a fixed target, and then hit a slow moving target......"
Hallie corrects the problems between the two and offers her own understanding.
The training lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and Professor Lockhart announced loudly:
"That's it for today! Let's pick up next week! ”
Many of my classmates pouted. Next time? Do you want to have a next time?
If the deans don't come, they won't come again.
But not many people had the energy to compete with the professors, and the students opened the doors of the auditorium and began to walk out.
Hallie and Luna say goodbye to the two and walk in the direction of the Gryffindor common room.
On the way, Hermione asked, "Why did Luna, as a Ravenclaw, come to Gryffindor to find a dueling training companion?" ”
"Thinking about her performance on the train, I don't think an eleven-year-old child is particularly acceptable, so she will reject Luna!"
Hallie understated her guesses.
Hermione thought of her first few months of first year, and a sympathetic look appeared on her face.
The two had not taken a few steps when there was a sudden commotion in the distance.
Hallie looked in astonishment, and if she remembered correctly, it seemed to be the way the Ravenclaw students would return to their dorms.
"What's going on over there? Let's go over and take a look! Hermione suggested.
Harley didn't nod, her hand had crept into her waist bag and placed it on a magic mirror.
The vision was quietly activated, and after returning to the Witch of Pleasure and being able to use the mythical creature form to a certain extent, Harley no longer needed to turn on the vision through specific actions.
"Luckily, there are two mirrors around." Harley thought to herself, "There's no danger, you can rest assured that you can go over boldly." ”
After confirming this, Hallie spoke up and agreed with Hermione's proposal: "I'm curious, too, let's go and have a look!" ”
The two trotted to the site of the accident.
It was already surrounded by water, but Harley relied on her nimble form to deftly carve out a path.
At the very bottom of the crowd, Professor McGonagall turned pale, while Professor Flitwick had a fierce look in his eyes.
In front of the two of them, a Ravenclaw senpai was lying there, with a small mirror that was completely broken beside her.
The senior sister was cold and stiff, as if she had been petrified. And that frightened look froze on her face.
If Hallie is not mistaken, she is supposed to be the Ravenclaw sixth year prefect, Penelope Crivat, a Muggle-born witch.
Harley shook her nose slightly. Of course, not through the smell, but through the spiritual perception, she discovered that there was a smell of snakes at the scene.
Harley's eyes narrowed slightly, there weren't many snakes that could petrify people.
However, if you combine the scenes of the three murders, according to one classmate, there is a large puddle of water around the place where Filch's cat was found, and he slipped because of it.
And Nick, who almost lost his head, said that when he found Colin, his camera was blown to pieces, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
And now the mirror next to this senior sister has shattered, and it has been destroyed in the occult sense, so Harley was unable to perceive it when she activated her psychic vision through the magic mirror.
"There were media around the scene of the three accidents, so maybe a snake was seen through the media?
And the medium weakened the power of the snake itself, which led to the current situation of two people and a cat being petrified? ”
Harley quickly peeled back the cocoon, analyzing the situation,
"According to legend, there are monsters in the secret room, and they are monsters that can survive for thousands of years.
Slytherin itself is a parseltongue and has the ability to control snakes, so this monster should be a snake. ”
Harley seemed to have something in mind, and identified the Slytherin monsters that the heir was in control.
Basilisk.
