The chaos of the duel reached this point, and Snape and Lockhart knew that they couldn't go on, so Lockhart proposed that Neville Longbottom and Justin Finley be on stage as a demonstration of the duel.
"It's a bad idea, Professor Lockhart." Snape glided across the stage like a vicious big bat. "Longbottom can cause damage even with the simplest spells. We'll take Finlay. The wreckage inside was packed in a matchbox and sent to the hospital ward." Snape then grinned and said, "How about Malfoy and Potter?"
"It's wonderful!" Lockhart motioned Harry and Draco to the center of the auditorium, and the people stepped back to make room for them.
Snape shook his head and said, "Draco, Malfoy I'm talking about is not you; Schelling, come here!"
Xie Lin didn't expect that he would be called. After a while, he shrugged and walked slowly to the stage. His heart couldn’t help but a glimmer of expectation, “Alright, let me see how capable Harry this savior is at this time, right? Snape probably saw me easily defeat Ron and wanted to use me to beat Harry. ."
Harry's face is also not very good-looking. Although Schelling was very low-key last semester, his outstanding academic performance, especially the two colleges of Transfiguration and Conjuration, was even more affected by Professor Flivy and Professor McGonagall. This shows that Schelling’s strength is definitely stronger than his yelling brother all day long. Harry even inadvertently floated a familiar saying in the British Muggle world—dogs that bite don’t bark. I suddenly felt heavy pressure in my heart.
Schelling and Harry were standing on both sides of the stage. Lockhart whispered beside Harry, seeming to teach some fighting skills, but Snape didn't say a word, just letting Schelling play freely. This caused the Slytherins in the audience to sound dissatisfied, complaining about unfair whispers one after another.
Schelling smiled politely at Harry and performed a very solemn duel ceremony. This duel ceremony was completely different from Lockhart’s previous set of fancy moves. The movements flowed and filled with a sacred and solemn mood. Not many people know that this is an ancient duel ceremony that is only mentioned in the documents of ancient families.
When Harry grew up in a Muggle family, he naturally didn’t know anything about the ancient dueling etiquette. At this time, he was at a loss because he didn’t know how to deal with it. Schelling smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, Harry, This is just an ordinary duel of a learning nature. It does not involve any personal grievances. We will now make an agreement to stop and not deliberately harm the other party. Do you think this is okay?"
Harry nodded. As for what he thought, Schelling didn't know and didn't bother to guess.
Harley first issued a whole body restraint curse. In Schelling’s eyes, Harry’s spellcasting technique was rough and unfamiliar, the curse’s flying route was straight and too obvious, and the speed of releasing the magic was too slow, taking Schelling’s body The quality only needs to lean slightly to the left to easily dodge Harry's attack. While evading, Schelling waved his wand upwards and shouted: "Siege!"
All around Harry suddenly rose from the ground a transparent magic barrier on all sides—it was a barrier curse, as if a box tightly trapped Harry in the middle. This curse was learned by Schelling from the family collection, not a professor at Hogwarts. Within the range, so Harry didn't know how to crack it.
Harry saw that he could not escape, and immediately shot a flame curse at one of the barriers. Schelling nodded in recognition of Harry's resilience. Unfortunately, with Harry's pitiful magic value, the faint flame he shot could only turn into scattered sparks when it hits the barrier, without affecting the barrier in the slightest.
Schelling whispered "it's over" in his heart, and quickly drew a cross with his magic wand. Before chanting any spells, the end of the wand shot out a dim white light with a tricky curve toward Harry's face. The door flew away, and several women screamed from the audience. Among them, Hermione and Ginny screamed the loudest. Even Snape's expression was wrong. When he pulled out his wand and wanted to intervene, everything was under control. The corners of Schelling's mouth raised slightly, and the hand holding the staff shook slightly, and the white light disappeared abruptly without a trace at a distance of less than ten centimeters in front of Harry's forehead.
Although she felt that Schelling was unlikely to use lethal magic in the public, but being forced by this mysterious and unknown magic, Harry was uncontrollably lost in fear because of fear.
"Accepted!" Xie Lin did not show any pride because of the victory, his face was as calm as if victory was taken for granted, he performed the ancient and solemn duel ceremony again to Harry, and then politely bowed to the two professors on the platform. , Stepped off the stage slowly with graceful steps, and left without looking back.
The audience was shocked!
Although Schelling was known for his excellent academic performance in the first grade, his opponent defeated Voldemort and the famous Harry Potter as a baby! Moreover, at the end of last year, Harry and his friends broke through the restricted area in the corridor on the fourth floor, cracked the many levels of the professors, and finally defeated the dark wizard Kilo who sneaked into Hogwarts as a professor! These stories are proven-Dumbledore added 170 points to Gryffindor in one breath is the best proof.
Before that, except for Draco, Daphne, and Meredith, the little wizards never thought that the famous Harry would lose to a student of the same class, let alone this kind of crushing. Fiasco!
The audience was taken by Schelling's explosive momentum and was silent.
It wasn't until Xie Lin left the auditorium for a while that someone asked about Xie Lin's identity, and even some girls with idiot attributes sighed Xie Lin's appearance and strength. Schelling was born in the noble Malfoy family, and his appearance and temperament are inherently noble and cold from aristocratic. Under the display of super strength, his temperament is even more heroic, plus two executions. The ancient duel ceremony made him look personable, gentle and polite, and it is no wonder that he can easily win the favor of many girls present.
Draco was very proud to tell everyone who Cop Schelling was, and did not forget to mention that Schelling used to practice magic by himself when he was at home, as if Schelling’s strength was due to Draco.
Hermione covered her small mouth with her hands, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh my God! Silent spellcasting! That's the level of NEWT, and it's also the more difficult part of it. It is said that not everyone in seniors can master it. He is. How did you do it in the second grade?"
Ron was unconvinced on the side, but his good buddy Harry was defeated in full view by the opponent. Even if he was unconvinced, he would not be able to argue against the facts.
Harry's face was very bitter. For the first time he felt his own ordinaryness. He has always felt that he is different. Even when he was misunderstood as a descendant of Slytherin, he was angry, but deep in his heart. There is also a hint of joy everywhere. After this duel, Harry realized that he was nothing special, and that he was often noticed only because of a scar on his forehead.
Lockhart on the stage was still bragging about how he could crack Schelling’s magic, but at the moment there were only a few little girls left in the audience. Many more people have watched the battle of Harry Schelling. Because he recognized the gap between himself and the top level, he had more desire for strength. At this moment, he was quietly intoxicated in recalling the various details of the previous duel, and he didn't care about Lockhart's endless chatter at the moment.
Snape still had the appearance of a poker face, standing quietly, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Some outstanding senior seniors, such as Hufflepuff’s Cedric Diggory and Ravenclaw’s Penello Krivart, as knowledgeable people in this duel. She was amazed by the various fast-casting skills and curved shooting skills that Xie Lin showed. At this time, she is experiencing in detail how to apply herself to actual combat.
Three days later, the first half of the semester is over.
The third attack did not happen as described in the original book. Xie Lin thought for a while and realized that it was the butterfly effect that he had caused. Because he replaced Draco and Harry in a duel, so as to avoid Draco's spell summoning the magic black snake to attack, and the subsequent event that Harry used the snake language to prevent the magic black snake from attacking Justin, Justin did not attack Harry. Feared and hid alone on the fifth floor, where he was attacked by a basilisk.
In view of the current situation of Hogwarts, most of the little wizards choose to go home for Christmas. The castle is as thick and silent as snow on the ground.
Before the holiday, Daphne and Meredith obtained Schelling’s spelling technique notes from Schelling under a soft and hard bubble, which included Voldemort’s spelling techniques, as well as some of Schelling’s own quick-casting techniques, Curve shooting and other skills. The two girls were ordered by their families to go home during the Christmas holidays. They plan to learn Schelling's spelling techniques during the Christmas holidays so that their strength will not be too much.
On Christmas morning, Xie Lin woke up early in the morning and was surprised to see his bed full of gifts.
After opening the present one morning, he realized that his popularity is far better than he thought. Draco gave away a notebook, Daphne and Meredith gave away a magic book from the family collection, Dobby gave him a new set of socks, UU reading even Kreacher did not forget Give him a bag of homemade preserved snacks.
What surprised him most was a set of black and silvery wide-shoulder cloaks sent by his mother Narcissa. This cloak has a rather romantic name, called "Yexing", after dyeing the ancient dragon skin black. The tailored shoulder cape, the silver glow on the cape is actually because a famous ancient alchemist used alchemy to fused the powder of the magic crystal with the dragon skin, so it has a high degree of physical defense and anti-magic power. , This kind of craftsmanship has long been lost in modern times, making this cloak even more precious.
"Mother is worried that I will be hurt by being involved in the secret room storm, so did she send me life-saving equipment?" Sherring suddenly understood her mother's feelings for her, and was moved in her heart, she couldn't help thinking that her mother probably never thought about Hogg now. The safest student in Waozley might be himself.
"Yexing" cloak obtained!
Of course, Schelling did not forget to give his friends one by one. Schelling gave Draco a set of maintenance tools for flying broomsticks; and gave Daphne a beautifully styled sleeve with a pocket for storing magic wands sewn on it. Faphni was able to draw out the wand at a faster speed; gave Meredith a deformed lizard leather suitcase that expanded the inner space with a non-marking stretch curse...
In addition to the above gifts, there are more than forty gifts left, all from female classmates he does not know, most of them are Slytherin students in the lower grades, but there are also a small number of other colleges. Female classmate, the gift contains various chocolates, gloves, scarves, etc., and Schelling realized how popular he is among the girls at Hogwarts. It is probably because of his successful performance in the duel club. It left a deep and good impression on the classmates. Even with his calm personality for two lives, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent at the moment.
