Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 36 Midnight Duel
At midnight that day, Mike left the Ravenclaw common room using the Disillusionment Charm. When he arrived at the trophy room where the duel would take place, Malfoy, Chris and Dolphin were already there.

"You little glutton, where's Mike? Is he too scared to come?" Malfoy was yelling at Dolphin.

Dolphin heard Malfoy's shouting but didn't dare to reply. He looked around to find Mike. He was very nervous. Normally, he would never dare to go out at night, but this time Mike threatened him.

"Are you looking for me, Malfoy?"

In an open space not far from the three people, Mike lifted the Disillusionment Spell.

Mike slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Mike's sudden appearance startled the three of them. Dolphin screamed, then quickly covered his mouth for fear of attracting Filch.

Malfoy and Chris recognized the Disillusionment Charm, and their faces looked unhappy. As a high-level spell, the user of the Disillusionment Charm must be a wizard with powerful magic.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Chris stood up and said.

Chris didn't want to continue talking nonsense. The trophy room was not a good place for a duel, especially at night. Filch might come here at any time.

Mike agreed.

"Then let me introduce them first. The two combatants are Draco Malfoy and Thorfinn Carrow." Thorfinn spread his hands and pointed at the two men. "Their assistants are me and Mike Townley."

Chris nodded to the two men, then stepped back to Malfoy and said, "The duel begins now. Please salute each other."

Thorfinn and Malfoy are both pure-blood wizards, and they are familiar with the etiquette of wizard duels.

Both sides held their wands in front of their chests like swords, and then they bowed to each other.

Both of them had impeccable etiquette, not to mention Draco. Mike was a little surprised that a timid guy like Thorfinn could master such standard duel etiquette.

Of course, if he knew that Dolphin had been forced to learn by his family with a stick every day since he was three years old, he might not be surprised.

As the three-second countdown ended, Malfoy swung the wand held in front of his chest towards Thorfinn.

"Stand still with your legs stiff!"

At the same time, Dolphin looked at the red light flying towards him from Malfoy's wand and was unable to react for a moment. It took him a while to try to dodge.

Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow. Just as he turned around to dodge, Malfoy's Leg-Locking Curse had already hit him.

There was a loud "bang" and Dolphin fell flat on his face. He was moving and undoubtedly lost his balance under the sudden leg-locking curse.

Just as Draco was about to take advantage of the victory, Mike flashed in front of Dolphin.

"Let's change people." Mike said coldly.

"Hehe! That's just what I want. I'll show you the new magic I learned. Oolong out of the cave!"

With a roar from Draco, a black smoke floated down from Draco's wand, fell to the ground and turned into a small black snake.

As soon as the little snake appeared, it spit out red letters and rushed towards Mike.

"Wind Speed ​​Spell!"

Mike waved his wand gently, and a green light flashed on Mike.

Then Mike rushed towards Draco like a rocket.

Mike didn't plan to use spells against Draco, that would be too boring. He wanted to use the newly learned wind speed spell to fight Draco in physical combat.

After using the wind speed spell, Mike's speed increased several times. Now he can definitely win a gold medal in the sprint if he participates in the Olympics. He slightly turned sideways to avoid the black snake that was flying towards him, and Mike rushed in front of Draco in an instant.

Mike bent his knees and arched his waist, and after a brief period of accumulation of strength, his right fist hit Draco's abdomen hard.

The look of surprise on Draco's face had not yet disappeared when he was hit by Mike's punch and couldn't help but arch his abdomen.

Mike took advantage of the situation and grabbed Draco's neatly combed wavy golden hair with both hands, while at the same time kneeing Draco hard in the face with his right knee.

"what!"

Draco was hit in the face by Mike's knee and fell back with a scream.

His nose was broken and blood was spurting out of his nostrils like tap water.

With a "bang", Draco fell to the ground with his head back, covering his nose and groaning in pain.

Draco was knocked down with two strikes, which made the other two people present a little at a loss.

Mike ignored Draco who had lost the ability to resist and tilted his head to look at Chris beside him.

Chris looked at Draco, who was lying on the ground with blood and tears flowing from his nose, and was rolling around holding his nose. He then looked at Mike, who was staring at him fiercely, as if he was going to rush up and give him a loving knee strike at the next moment.

"You win! I don't want to be eaten like that!" Chris raised his hands in surrender without hesitation, "We will give Dolphin enough compensation, don't worry."

Mike was a little surprised when he saw Chris being sincere in front of him.

This guy is not stupid.

I thought that all the people hanging out with Draco were idiots like him, but it seems there are still smart people among them.

Thorfinn, who was still locked in the leg-locking curse and unable to stand up, saw Draco's miserable appearance and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hahaha, you have come to this day! Aren't you quite arrogant? Why are you crying now? Hahaha."

Chris looked at Dolphin speechlessly.

It wasn't you who hit me, why are you so proud?

Mike was about to answer Chris when Filch's voice came from outside the trophy display room.

"Aha! Sure enough, it's here! You naughty little bastards. Why are you staying up late at night to have a wizard duel?"

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see Filch looking at the four people in the room with red eyes. Filch seemed to be frightened by Draco's miserable state, and retreated to a place where no one could see him.

"Just wait, I have already informed Professor McGonagall! You can't get away."

Before Filch could finish his words, Professor McGonagall appeared at the door.

"You! You... all of you will be put in detention!" Professor McGonagall was so angry that she could hardly breathe. "Deduct another 50 points! Deduct 50 points from everyone!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Draco, who was still lying on the ground, turned pale. He didn't want to be petrified again in his life. Not to mention that he and Chris had caused Slytherin to be deducted 100 points. The seniors would definitely kill him in the future.

Mike was very calm. He didn't care about grades or detention at all. He didn't care even more whether Draco would ask his father to take revenge on him afterwards.

Mike is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. If Malfoy is capable, he will ask his father to fight with Mike personally.

As for the fact that Malfoy's father was a Hogwarts director and could expel Mike, that was even more impossible. Dumbledore would not allow the directors to expel students at will because of personal grudges. In fact, in Dumbledore's view, the directors were just ATMs, because he was now the most powerful person in the wizarding world.
