Chapter 447: The club scene

"Although I eventually abandoned this line of thought because my spell's power is advancing very rapidly, it became less desirable to use runes to increase magic's power now, and there are also many drawbacks with it, such as the need to use two thoughts simultaneously ... but now I realized that perhaps it is more suitable for you at this stage." Felix said softly: "The way Mr. Diggory came up with the idea of combining the 'Flow of Water' Rune and the Water-Making Spell is unique, and I advise you all to continue to experiment with it when you have time, such as- " He paused, leaving the crowd some time to think.

" 'Flame' Rune and Fire-Making Spell," Hermione replied excitedly, "and 'Glow' Rune and Lumos spell. "

Felix smiled at her, "It seems that Miss Granger already started, let's study the runes and spells that can be combined and complement each other in a group. ... It happens that your magic control has improved a lot recently."

The magic rune club members grimaced as they were reminded of their gut-wrenching experience of facing the Billywig insects again.

Felix rose from his soft couch, and with a flick of his wand, a shallow stone basin flew over from the shelf, and the students looked at each other, a bit psychologically apprehensive about what they would go through, even though it wasn't their first time.

"We'll go first!" Fred and George said in unison. Both of them poked their fingers into the silvery substance contained in the stone basin at the same time, and the next second, they were sucked in by the stone basin.

"Wow~hohohoho~" the two men's excited shouts became muffled as if it was emanating from a well.

A row of young wizards gathered around to watch, and after waiting quietly for a few seconds, they heard a very clear "Pop!" "Pop!" sound.

"Landed safely." Ron said with a wide grin.

"Yeah! Just waiting for you guys!" Fred shouted from the space inside the stone basin, creating a mixture of sounds that sounded like echoes.

"So that's what they had in mind ...| Ron muttered, " No one will see their faces smashed to the ground if they're the first to go in." He poked his whole face into the silvery substance, and his body disappeared from sight.

One by one, the young wizards got inside the stone basin, but this time it wasn't like when they learned illumination, where they would have their own professor waiting for them. Felix just created a spacious and suitable place for them to cast their spells.

Felix's voice rumbled like thunder from high up above the stone basin, "You're still in the same grouping as last time."

In the stone basin space, Harry could not help but suck in a breath, Ron also grimaced, then they coincidentally looked at Draco Malfoy, who also had a rather uncomfortable expression on his face.

At the last Magic Rune Club assembly, Professor Hap suggested that they should work together to control the Billywig's activity space - in a group of three, then Hermione was pulled to instruct Luna and Ginny, and by the time they reacted, Draco Malfoy was already standing in front of them unwillingly.

"I applied some potion on the way here, Billywig insects hate that smell ...," Draco said slowly, his eyes shined brightly.

"And you learned this over Christmas break?" Harry asked peevishly.

"Oh, of course not, didn't you experience my Full Body-Bind Curse?" Draco said with a satisfied look on his face, and from looking at his expression, Harry couldn't help but remember the scene where he and Malfoy battled in the dueling class that Professor Moody was in charge of.

"My Full Body-Bind Curse was also good enough, wasn't it?" Harry said with a grin.

Draco's pale face turned red, and he stammered, "I was careless, and you broke the rules ..."

"Yeah well, but Professor Moody thought otherwise, and he was very upset that you made the first move before the command, Malfoy," Ron stated with interest as he looked at him, "You almost achieved an achievement of turning into a small animal two times at the hand of Professor Moody... ..." he said with a look of reminiscence, ignoring the increasingly dangerous glare from Draco, "We might have seen that scene if Professor Flitwick was not present."

That assembly was the one where Ron got stung the hardest, and incidentally, it affected Harry - the fish who was also in the same pond.

...

The three stood facing each other in a small circle, looking very cautious as they regrouped. Harry's eyes kept darting, looking left at Ron and right at Draco, as the other two did the same.

"Weasley, Potter, my mom is planning on getting our own custom record soon, not something made by the Weird Sisters ... They are completely out of line with the aesthetics of people with noble status ..."

"What are you trying to say?" Ron asked irritably, itching to give Malfoy a hex.

"Oh," Draco paused, a small smile appeared on his pale face, "What was I saying, magic gramophone? Yeah, that's right; Weasley, surely you have one at home, right?"

" We don't need anything like that in my house!" Ron said with a red face.

"Yeah well ..." Draco raised his head in satisfaction, "L.C.A. publishers also recently released a comic book limited edition and I got a set in my collection." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Ron was so angry that he could not even outline a rune, as the tip of his wand sparked continuously.

"That's nothing." Harry said.

"What do you mean?" Draco's eyes went straight to Harry.

"All that ... expensive stuff you're talking about, comic books and stuff, you can buy them if you have money." Harry said, "I can't see your part in it, it's all your family's money, nothing to do with you personally, no?"

Draco looked at him gloomily and spoke slowly, "Malfoy has been doing that for generations."

" Is that so?" Harry grinned, "Sounds inspiring, but we value something that money can't buy, and although you bought the rare edition of the comic book, the content is exactly the same, and Ron has read it at least five times-"

"It's the sixth time," Ron said calmly, "and I know some lines in the book by heart. That's why I did so well in the second task... Didn't Professor put these books on a separate shelf in the library?"

"We can compete to see who has memorized the most of it?" He looked at Draco provocatively.

Draco scoffed at that, "I'm not interested, maybe you are preparing to succeed your father? After you graduate, will you join the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office?"

"You're full of crap." Ron said through clenched teeth, gasping for air. Harry pointed a short distance away, Ginny along with Hermione looked over, and Luna seemed to have the intention of coming closer to watch the fun.

For a span of time, none of the three said a word -

"You guys know what we need to do." Harry said.

"Exactly." Ron echoed.

"Sorry, I still have some questions ...," Draco trailed off.

"Yeah, well, guess what?" Ron finally pressed his anger and threatened in an angry whisper, "Either be honest or we'll hold you down and cast a Tickling Charm on your nose!"

Draco: "... You wouldn't dare do that."

"The professor didn't follow us down, maybe he's sleeping on the couch up there." Ron speculated irrationally, but the comment clearly made Draco's expression dark and uncertain.

All went well for the rest of the day, except for the occasional murmur -

"Weasley, sheesh! How did you come up with the idea of combining a 'Flow of Water' Rune and a Fire-Making Spell? Do you intend to get a cloud of steam? How do you plan to control it?"

"Potter! Let me do it, I'm more skilled in the Smashing spell, and I suggest combining the 'Light' Rune with it ..."

"Shut up, Malfoy!" x2
