Chapter 305: Angry Snape
Chapter 305 Angry Snape
As soon as Kyle came to the stage, there was a burst of cheers from around him.
Fred and George were the loudest among them. They even spent a minute making a Quidditch-style cheering banner and waving it constantly below.
Cedric and Qiu also ran over with handfuls of festoon ribbons to join in the fun.
Honestly, for the first time, Kyle wished he had never met them.
"Okay Kyle, don't be nervous." Lockhart said, "I will teach you a trick now. When Flint points his wand at you, you do this."
He raised his wand and waved it left and right, trying to conjure complicated tricks, but accidentally dropped it on the ground.
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Lockhart quickly picked it up and said, "Haha... my wand is a little too excited."
Snape approached Marcus, lowered his head and whispered a few words to him, and Marcus sneered.
"No need to worry." Lockhart patted Kyle's shoulder cheerfully. "Although he is in the sixth year, as long as he does what I just did, there is nothing to be afraid of."
“What, dropped the wand?”
Lockhart acted as if he hadn't heard.
“Are you ready?” he shouted: “Three…two…one, start!”
Marcus quickly raised his wand...
“Armor for protection!”
“Oolong comes out of the hole!”
He didn't know whether Snape had told him something or he had learned the lesson just now. This time he took the lead in putting a shield on himself, and instead of using curses, he transformed into a thick and long black shield. snake.
For this type of spell, armor protection is useless.
Kyle also knew this, but he had no intention of continuing to use the Iron Armor Curse.
When the black snake raised its head and prepared to attack, Kyle's spell was also completed.
“Fall quickly!”
Marcus stumbled and his legs suddenly sank into the stage.
The Swamp Charm, which Flitwick taught him at the Charms Club, can turn hard ground into a muddy swamp. It is also one of the trap spells commonly used in duels.
Marcus, who was hit, tilted his body, and the fire spell he had just prepared was also interrupted.
Kyle ducked sideways to avoid the rushing black snake and raised his wand.
The black snake in mid-air twisted and turned into a rope and flew back to Marcus, binding his wrists and arms.
“Admit defeat?” Kyle smiled.
Marcus said nothing, just stared at Kyle with hatred, while struggling hard to lift his wand.
“Okay, got it.”
Kyle took a deep breath and used the transformation spell again.
The stage behind Marcus began to rise upwards, transforming into a huge stone statue two meters high.
In everyone's horrified eyes, the stone statue raised the long-handled ax in its hand high, briefly accumulated strength and then swung it down violently.
There was a scream from all around, and the people nearby subconsciously stepped back. Many people even covered their eyes, not daring to watch the next scene.
“I surrender!” Marcus shouted heartbreakingly.
"enough!"
At the same time, Snape also stretched out his wand, "Petrify them all!"
The stone statue stopped instantly, and the huge ax blade was frozen in mid-air.
“Do you want to kill Flint?”
Snape roared angrily: "Hufflepuff deducts a hundred..."
“Professor, I think you misunderstood.”
Kyle interrupted, "If you look carefully, you'll see that I didn't mean that."
"Kyle is right, Professor Snape." Lockhart walked over and looked at the stone statue.
"The ax is a foot off. Even if it falls, it will only hit the stage next to it. Flint will not be hurt at all." He said cheerfully: "I often use this method when traveling in Waroga. Scare those evil creatures, and they will all realize their mistakes and never dare to harm others again.”
Snape didn't hear what Lockhart said at all.
"Why do you do this..." He looked at Kyle and said coldly: "A disarming spell can obviously win."
“I’m sorry, Professor Snape.” Kyle said, “I just came into contact with the disarming spell today and am not yet proficient in it. This one is simpler.”
Snape's face became a little ugly.
Partial deformation of objects, this is a high-end technique that only seventh-grade advanced classes are exposed to...simpler than a disarming spell?
How did he say this? Do you really think that everyone is an idiot like Lockhart?
Snape's chest was heaving violently, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense to Kyle anymore, and pointed in the direction of the door of the auditorium.
“Fifty points from Hufflepuff!”
“Get out, now!”
Kyle said nothing, put away his wand and strode out of the auditorium.
He originally wanted to use the duel club to observe who was acting abnormally, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity.
But so far, the people he knew...including Ron, Harry, and Lockhart were all the same as usual, and no one seemed to be controlled by the diary.
It’s probably useless to look at it any further.
“I wouldn’t have come if I had known it earlier, and I would have lost fifty points.” After walking out of the auditorium, Kyle sighed.
At this time, Kangna, Cedric and others also walked out.
"Thanks to you, Kyle." Fred said with a smile: "I have wanted to leave for a long time, but unfortunately I never found the chance."
"Yeah, you can't learn anything from Lockhart and Snape." George glanced at the door of the Great Hall, "I don't think the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets will bow after seeing me."
As he spoke, he imitated Lockhart and made a few gestures, "Oh...this action is so stupid."
“That stone statue you just made was so cool.” Cedric also said, “I didn’t expect that Professor McGonagall just mentioned partial transformation last week, and you learned it.”
"That's it." Kangna pointed to a stone statue at the door of the auditorium, "This is exactly the same as the one just now."
The others were talking to each other, without giving Kyle a chance to interrupt.
"I…"
As soon as Kyle made a sound, Cedric tapped him on the shoulder.
“You don’t have to worry about being deducted points.” He smiled and said, “It’s just fifty points. We Hufflepuffs don’t care about that.”
"Yeah." Fred also said: "Gryffindor is always at the bottom, and we live quite happily. Just get used to it."
“If I can teach that Marcus Flint a lesson, I’ll take a hundred points off.”
Professor McGonagall will probably not be happy to hear this.
“I didn’t care about the deduction of points at first.” Kyle smiled, “Don’t forget that last year, Snape could deduct fifty points from me in two classes.”
"That's right..." George nodded, "See, I just said we don't need to comfort him."
“If I had known this, I wouldn’t have said those things that went against my will.” Fred muttered in a low voice, “Actually, we do care about the scores.”
It was already very late, and several people separated at the stairs.
After returning to the empty Hufflepuff common room, Cedric was still talking about the transformation spell Kyle had just said.
"It's a pity that Professor McGonagall is not there, otherwise she would not let Snape deduct points..."
"I just tried it." Kyle said: "Maybe the stage is spliced together and not really a whole, so the operation is much simpler."
"That's amazing." Cedric sat on a sofa, "Such a big stone statue... Even if it is transformed normally, I can only make a rough shape at most, let alone make it move flexibly. Woke up."
“You don’t need to be flexible, that would be too troublesome. Just focus your energy on the most critical place.” Kyle said, “Just like just now, I used the weapon of the stone statue to drive its arm movement...”
"You mean... the continuity of the object after its deformation? But under normal circumstances, the arms of the stone statue are fixed. Don't they have to disperse part of the magic power?"
“Stone statues won’t work, but armor will…”
"Armor...I see, I understand, you changed its structure from the beginning." Cedric said excitedly: "I should have thought of it earlier, Professor McGonagall said before..."
Kanna stood nearby, blinking blankly.
What's going on...the two of them were fine just now, but why did they suddenly start discussing transfiguration, and she couldn't understand a word of what they said.
