47- No one knows school rules better than me

"Duel assistant? Me?!" Rhys was in a daze for a moment when he heard Malfoy's request. The last time someone asked him to be a duel assistant was a thousand years ago.

"Malfoy, you-" Daphne wanted to refuse on behalf of Rhys, but Rhys raised his hand and told her not to rush.

"Draco Malfoy, are you sure you want to participate in the duel?" Rhys's interest was completely lifted by Malfoy.

Duel, this is a duel!

But with whom did Malfoy have such a big hatred that he had to fight to the death?

Malfoy swallowed, nodded, and added: "But it's not a life-or-death duel. It's just that I plan to resolve some personal grudges with the Gryffindor's Potter."

Rhys nodded: This is in line with his speculation. It is reasonable. It would be strange if Malfoy had to fight to the death with others. Moreover, it is very difficult for wizards of this age to use magic to kill people.

"One hundred galleons, give me one hundred galleons and I will be your dueling assistant."

"You want a hundred galleons for this?!" Malfoy's eyes almost popped out of his head.

One hundred galleons! This amount of money is almost as much as the annual expenses of an ordinary wizarding family of three and is enough to drain Draco's small pouch dry.

"This is already a preferential price." Rhys spread his hands, indicating that the price is already extremely favorable and cannot be more favorable.

A thousand years ago, could you hire him as a duel assistant for a hundred gold coins? What are you dreaming about?

Of course, one is fighting a life-and-death fight with a powerful dark wizard, while the other is supporting children. The difficulty of the tasks is very different. But his identity was here, and his relationship with Draco Malfoy was not very close. After comprehensive consideration, Rhys decided to charge a fee of one hundred galleons.

If Malfoy could afford it, he would just go through the motions. If Malfoy didn't have the money, there would be no need to talk.

Malfoy's facial muscles twitched twice, indicating if it could be cheaper? After being rejected, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Rhys's offer.

"But I will pay afterwards!"

Rhys again flatly rejected him because it was against the rules.

"Then, can I pay half of the money first? I'll give you the rest after the duel." Malfoy's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Look, I didn't lie to you." Rhys shrugged.

"Yes.. you didn't lie.."

He is really lying!

He was relying on his knowledge of school rules to fool Hermione. The prerequisite for using a duel as an excuse to break the curfew was that the headmaster or the Head of the student's house must know about the duel, and Snape would not be so corporative if he knew about such a duel.

Rhys's truth, which concealed some of the facts, deceived Hermione, and she left with the feeling "I don't understand, but I was shocked."

At half past eleven in the evening, Rhys rolled over and sat up in bed. Draco had already set off. He said he wanted to go to the duel location in advance to familiarize himself with the terrain.

Rhys put on his robes, picked up his wand, and quietly walked out of the common room. He climbed the stairs and walked through a corridor that shielded the trophy room.

Malfoy isn't here.

There was a sound of footsteps behind Rhys. He looked back and saw that it was Harry and Ron.

Rhys's face darkened instantly, and he probably guessed what happened.

"Is it you, Rhys?!"

"Why isn't Malfoy here?"

Seeing Rhys standing alone in the trophy display room, Harry and Ron also looked shocked. The two of them didn't have a deep impression of Rhys. They only remembered that he was good at potions and had a good level of studies.

"Let's wait for a while, I think Mr. Malfoy has diarrhea." Rhys took a deep breath to calm Harry and Ron.

Time passed by, and Malfoy did not appear, but the voice of the castle's caretaker Filch rang next door.
