Chapter 210: Brawl

Avery fell on his back and started to scream while clutching his bleeding nose. "He broke it! He broke it!" He continued to shout.

"Why would you stand so close to me? Did you really expect me to do nothing?..." Harry raised an eyebrow. He thought those two boys had at least some experience with dueling but perhaps he had been wrong.

Yaxley glanced at Harry with sharp eyes and took a few steps back, his wand pointed directly at him.

'Well, this one is taking me seriously now. But...' He gave Avery a passing look. His punch had only broken his nose. This showed that his training over the past week had not been wasted. He had inflicted just as much damage as he intended and not more.

The other Slytherin students didn't seem interested in attacking him. They probably thought that Yaxley and Avery were more than enough to accomplish... whatever their plan was.

"Incarcerous!" Yaxley sent a magically conjured rope to trap him.

This was quickly followed by a couple more spells: a stunner and a tripping jinx, both cast silently and with minimal motion.

This was an effective combination. Trying to dodge either the ropes or the stunner would likely end up with you being hit by the other spell.

A Protego charm could block both, but it would also be a mistake. The tripping jinx was aimed very low and would pass beneath the shield, hitting your legs or feet. The normal size of that charm was only enough to cover your upper body.

"Not bad, but..." Harry moved his right arm forward and let the Incarcerous ropes hit him.

As soon as they made contact with his hand, the ropes spun quickly and wrapped firmly around it.

Now that he had an improvised 'gauntlet' made of magical ropes, he used it to deflect the stunner and jinx.

The senior students were getting more nervous as Harry grew closer. His entire body shook with fear.

"S-shut up!"

Patrick shouted at Harry before turning his head around to look at his friends. Just one quick glance at their terrified faces already told him they were not going to be of any help. He had to do this alone.

He felt something on his hand and hurried to move his eyes to the front.

He saw Harry holding a wand... a very familiar wand.

"What?!" Patrick then realized his hand was now empty. "When did you?..."

He didn't understand. Harry was still a few feet away from him. How did he steal his wand away?

"That's enough! Graham, Potter!" Professor Snape came walking with fury towards them, with Lily a few steps behind.

"Oh, the Professors finally decided to intervene." Harry knew they had been hiding behind some trees and had been watching from the beginning.

"Harry." His mother called him over.

"The wand, Mister Potter." Snape stopped him before he walked away and pointed at Patrick's wand in his hand.

"Of course, Professor." As he was handing it back, he applied a bit of pressure and the wood piece snapped in half. "Oops." Snape frowned but did not say anything as he took the broken wand.

"Am I in trouble?" Harry asked his mother when he got to her side.

"Of course not, Harry. Professor Snape and I saw the whole thing. Those boys ganged up to attack you first. If anyone is going to be punished, it's going to be them." Lily threw Snape a glare.

"Isn't that right, Severus?"

Snape grumbled something under his breath. "Y-yes... Potter can go. I'll take care of my students." Snape knew better than to argue with Lily right now.
