Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 75 Knight Bus
"Except your weapons!"

"Collapse!"

George took advantage of the gap between the two seventh-grade wizards' attacks and directly used his speed advantage to get close to them from behind. He put his wand against their backs and cast magic, and finally won the game by chance.

To be honest, if it weren't for his physical advantage, he would not be a match for the two seventh-grade wizards in terms of magic level and magic combat skills.

However, this battle also gave him a lot of new insights into magic duels in the Harry Potter world.

In particular, some of the magical skills learned during the battle between the two seventh-grade wizards did benefit him a lot.

"George helped maintain order and showed excellent dueling skills. Although he still needs to improve compared to me, it's already pretty good. Twenty points more!"

Lockhart stepped forward and hugged George, causing Snape, who was a step slower, to raise his eyebrows. However, considering that Snape was giving George extra points, he did not say much, but turned around and walked to the center of the stage:

"It seems that you idiots are still unable to master the dueling skills. Let's do this. Two by two, Professor Lockhart and I will give you one-on-one guidance, and then we can duel."

"Professor Snape's suggestion is very good. I will guide George."

Lockhart named George directly.

A flash of cold light flashed in Snape's eyes:
"George is too good to be a good role model. I think Malfoy and Potter are good. I will guide Malfoy and you will guide Potter."

"That's fine."

Lockhart thought that Harry's fame was no less than George's, which was not bad either.

All the young wizards left the stage, leaving only Snape, Malfoy, Harry and Lockhart on the stage.

George was standing in the audience. He knew what was going to happen next, but he did not try to stop it.

He needed the incident of the Chamber of Secrets to continue to cause a stir, because only in this way would Dumbledore be temporarily suspended from school in the next semester, and he would have the opportunity to wipe out all the dark magic in the restricted area.

Given his current situation, if he wants to learn dark magic such as the three unforgivable curses and the Fiery Fire Curse, he can only rely on the restricted area.

But normally, whenever he entered the restricted area, Dumbledore would monitor him secretly, so that he would not dare to take the risk of reading the magic books that recorded the dark arts.

In fact, he is now very similar to the young Voldemort in many ways. If he shows interest in the dark arts, Dumbledore will probably be restless.

So he was also paying special attention to restraining himself.

Sure enough, in the duel between Harry and Malfoy, because Malfoy used the Snake Summoning Charm, Harry revealed for the first time in front of everyone that he had inherited Voldemort's ability to speak snake language, which caused great chaos.

Most of the school thought that Harry was the heir of Slytherin because only Slytherins could speak Parseltongue.

However, the dueling club was still held every night, and George would be there every night to train in magic duels with those seventh-year wizards, and his skills in using wands to fight were improving day by day.

Soon, it was Christmas Eve and the school was officially on holiday.

The Christmas holiday at Hogwarts lasted more than two weeks. After saying goodbye to his professors and classmates, George carried his suitcase and his pet Peppa and boarded the Hogwarts Express for the return trip.

When he first came to school half a year ago, he was just an insignificant little wizard who was proficient in some introductory magic such as the Unlocking Charm.

Now he is a famous Slytherin star in school, and he has never been defeated in a one-on-one challenge against a seventh-year wizard in magic.

This is when he didn't use his superpowers. If he used his superpowers, his strength would be much stronger.

After all, his superpowers have improved significantly compared to when school started, and he can easily control objects weighing several hundred kilograms.

In the evening, before it was completely dark, George walked out of King's Cross Station.

Unlike other young wizards who had parents to take them home with them, he, as an orphan, had to return to his home in Knockturn Alley alone.

He did not inform Tonks when he returned to Knockturn Alley for Christmas this time, so there was no way Tonks would pick him up in a magic car like she did last time.

Favors should not be wasted on trivial matters. Even the best relationships will become distant if they are always wasted like this. "Knight Bus!"

Standing by the road, George raised his wand and waved it in the air, then shouted loudly.

In less than a minute, accompanied by a deafening roar, a bright purple three-decker bus appeared in front of George.

It is not very convenient to take the subway or taxi with an owl as big as Paige. He doesn't know the Disillusionment Charm and can't fly openly.

So he chose the Knight Bus, a magical public transportation commonly used in the British wizarding world.

The Knight Bus is a magical public transportation tool specially set up by the Ministry of Magic to facilitate underage wizards or wizards who are weak and cannot Apparate.

Inspired by the Muggle bus, it has been transformed by magic and is very fast, and can take you anywhere in the UK.

It went on operation in 1865 and was well received by wizards.

“Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, emergency transport for wizards in distress.

Just hold out your wand hand, hop aboard, and we'll take you wherever you want to go.

My name is Stan Shunpike, and I'm your conductor tonight."

A young wizard in a purple uniform jumped out of the bus and said to George.

George looked at the magic bus with some curiosity, then got on the bus with his luggage:
"Hello, Mr. Thornpack, please go to the Leaky Cauldron!"

"Seven silver Sickles, ten get you chocolate, eleven get you a hot water bottle and a toothbrush, pick any color you want."

The salesman wizard followed closely and got on the car.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"George, that's seven silver Sickles."

George placed the luggage on a bed and took out seven silver Sickles.

The interior of the Knight Bus is different from that of an ordinary bus. Instead of individual seats, there are brass beds with magic candles lit on the bedside brackets.

Wizards on the bus can sleep directly on the bed after getting on the bus until they reach their destination.

“George, why does this name sound so familiar? You look familiar too.”

The wizard salesman was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he quickly rummaged through the discarded newspaper box next to him and pulled out a newspaper from a month ago.

He looked at the newspaper, then at George, and immediately exclaimed with wide eyes:
"So you are George, the Quidditch genius that only appears once in a thousand years!"

"It seems that I am somewhat famous in the entire wizarding world."

George nodded and smiled when he saw this, but did not deny it.

The salesman wizard was obviously also a Quidditch fan. After discovering George's identity, his attitude suddenly improved a lot and he started chatting with George very talkatively.

This is the celebrity effect. Even if it’s someone you don’t know, there will be a hidden bonus to your favorability when you first meet them.

"Go ahead, Ern."

The salesman wizard greeted the driver wizard, and the Knight Bus suddenly made a roar and flew out at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, as if it had entered another space.

The street lights, mailboxes and trash cans blocking the way automatically jumped out of the way when the car passed, and returned to their original positions after the car passed.
