Section 235

Mandrake waved its roots, picked up the gray scarf and socks, and threw them in front of Neville.

The mandrake in front of Neville reacted and moved forward twice, as if he was about to put on a scarf.

Hannah quickly grabbed a scarf and socks and successfully helped Mandrake keep warm.

…

In this way, Weizet and Luna took turns holding the mandrake and wandering around the greenhouse.

Perhaps due to their size, which was much larger than that of their kind, the mandrakes they took turns holding came to life.

It will even extend its sock-clad roots and pat the branches of other mandrakes;

This lively look made Luna keep laughing, and her red face was very beautiful.

Although the two of them did not continue to help change into winter clothes, the overall efficiency has improved a lot. In less than an hour, nearly one-seventh of the Mandrakes had changed into winter clothes.

In order to express his gratitude, Sprout gave everyone a pack of biscuits, which should be made with magic plants added. A fresh fragrance will also leak out of the oil paper bag and be transmitted into the air.

The taste of these biscuits is also different. They are crisper than the biscuits provided in the auditorium, and you will feel warm after eating them.

At the bottom of the oil paper package, there are also steps on how to make this kind of biscuits, both in terms of technique and the amount of ingredients required, all written in great detail.

Sprout explained: "When you get home, you can also try to make it as a surprise for your family."

After everyone left the greenhouse, Weizet stepped forward with the mandrake in his arms, "Professor Sprout, it seems that my mandrake... seems a little different?"

"I think so too." Sprout nodded, "It's bigger than other mandrakes, and more agile..."

"You should go back home for Christmas, right? Or leave it here and let me observe it carefully? Maybe I can find out the reason?"

Wizer nodded, "Then I'll bring the fertilizer over then...it needs some special fertilizer."

"That's perfect." Sprout nodded, "Maybe that's the reason? A particularly picky little guy..."

Wizer nodded. This mandrake was indeed too special. He even protested for fertilizer and sent Lockhart directly to the school hospital.

…

The copper ring under the eagle statue shook, and a pleasant female voice came from it.

"I never walk, but I can go from London to Rome; I have no wings, but I can soar in the blue sky; I close my eyes, but I can see all the weird things?"

At the same time, Vizette and Luna thought of the same answer, "Imagination!"

The bronze door slowly opened, and the students inside gathered around the bulletin board, reading an announcement that should have appeared not long ago.

When Anthony saw Weizet and Luna coming back, he waved and said, "Tonight at eight o'clock! There will be a gathering called 'Duel Club' in the auditorium!"

Chapter 5 The Upcoming Duel Club

The word "Duel Club", if there are students who don't know the specific situation at noon because they are snoozing.

Then when he comes to the classroom, he will also know through the discussions of the surrounding students that the professor will personally demonstrate dueling techniques in the assembly in the auditorium tonight.

Anthony Goldstein should be the most excited after hearing the news about the Duel Club.

While waiting for class, he kept dancing: "Dueling is definitely not just talk without practice! It will definitely let us fight!"

"I really think they should have done this a long time ago! The magic they learned before is all used as chips to bet on success or failure!"

"I know, this is a line from "Wandering with Werewolves"." Terry Butt raised his head and said, "Who do you think will demonstrate it?"

Anthony put his chin on his hand and pretended to think, "Maybe it's Professor Flitwick?"

"I heard from my family that he participated in a duel competition when he was young and won the championship in the end."

"Winner of the Duel Competition?" Michael put down his quill and pushed his notebook aside, "Professor Flitwick is actually so powerful!"

Chris Moen sighed: "I really didn't expect it! Which duel competition is it?"

Everyone now has a clearer understanding of Anthony's family background, so the so-called "hearing" from Anthony's mouth is usually very credible.

"Let me think about it... what is it called..." Anthony scratched his head, "That duel competition... it seems that all English wizards can participate..."

"Is it called the 'All-British Wizarding Duel Competition'?" Wizette said. "I remember it is held every two years."

"This competition does not have an age limit, so the protection measures are good, and there are people signing up for every competition."

"Yes, yes! That's it!" Anthony slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "There will be a new competition next year. It is said that the winner's reward is the egg of some magical animal."

"The All-British Wizarding Duel Competition..." Chris sighed, "Even if it is for all ages, it has nothing to do with us. We should still look forward to the Duel Club tonight!"

…

Michael pulled the notebook over again and pushed it in front of Weizet, "By the way! Weizet, which of these magics do you think I should practice better?"

"Dance Charm, Leg Locking Charm and Tickling Charm?" Weizet looked at the marks on the notebook.

"Michael, are you going to use it in the duel club tonight? Or do you plan to use it as a follow-up practice?"

"Tonight!" Michael coughed lightly, "There will definitely be a lot of students by then, I can't fall behind!"

"Hehe... I know what you are thinking!" Anthony teased, "Remember to shut your mouth next time, your saliva is almost flowing out."

"Don't you want to be in the limelight?" Michael covered his mouth and raised his eyebrows high, "Even if you don't show off, at least you can't lose to your duel opponent, right?"

Vizet said: "I suggest using the dance spell and the leg lock spell together. The combination of the two magics will have an unexpected effect."

After all, the elders in the family were once The legendary Auror immediately understood what Vizet meant, "First, use the Dance Spell to interfere with the opponent, and then use the Leg Lock Spell to tie him up!"

"That's right." Vizet nodded, "If it's a formal duel, as long as the opponent loses the ability to resist, you can declare victory."

"There is a similar approach in "Walking with Trolls", using these two spells to temporarily disable a troll."

Anthony interrupted, "If it's not a formal duel, then remember to add some magic, or take away the opponent's wand to prevent the opponent from resisting."

"Dance Spell and Leg Lock Spell, right?" Terry opened his notebook and quickly wrote down these two spells, intending to practice them later.

Chris also did a similar move, holding up the notebook and repeating it back and forth several times.

...

"Are two spells enough?" Michael asked again, "Do we need a protective spell?"

"Isn't there an Shield Charm in Lockhart's books? Vizet, what do you think of that spell?"

"I don't recommend the Shield Charm..." Vizet shook his head slightly, "Although the spell is not complicated, it is not easy to master it."

"Why?" Michael scratched his head, "I read it in the book... It seems to appear many times."

"To cast a reliable Shield Charm, you need to be firm enough in your heart..." Vizet murmured, trying to describe this feeling.

"If the finger is the opponent's magic, then your Armor Charm should be like the eye!" He stretched out his finger and brought it close to his eye, "without blinking..."

"Once the heart is shaken, the Armor Charm will become extremely unstable, and it is even better to get up and dodge. In fact... the process of casting the Armor Charm is the process of overcoming fear."

"That's right! That's what my great-aunt told me!" Anthony nodded in agreement, "So learning this magic does not mean that you can use it in actual combat."

"And what do you think it will last until eight o'clock in the evening? At most ten o'clock... We still have astronomy class in the evening! But it didn't say that the astronomy class would be cancelled."

"So that's the case!" Michael nodded, "Then I'd better practice the dance spell and the leg lock spell!"

-------------------------------------

After the afternoon class, the discussion about the duel club intensified, and most people were looking forward to the opportunity in the evening.

Neville was in the other group. He looked very nervous, holding a notebook in his hand and muttering constantly.

"As long as there is no physical contact...it's considered a duel..." Fred came over and looked at Neville's notes, "Do you want me to lend you two fireworks and throw them directly?"

"Use fireworks?" Neville asked in confusion, "Can we do that?"

"Of course not!" George patted Neville on the shoulder, "But if you meet someone from Slytherin, light the fireworks and explode with him! BOOM! We will definitely remember you forever!"

"Or treat your opponent as a mandrake?" Luna suggested, "Just help him put on his scarf and socks."

Hannah blinked, "Mandra...that doesn't seem so scary."

Vizet gave his own advice, "Pay attention to the use of the full body binding spell...haven't you all been practicing recently?"

"Luna is right...just treat them as mandrakes...and the scarf and socks are the full body binding spell..."

"Cool!" George whistled, "You can explain!"

"Then let's imagine ourselves as fireworks!" Fred closed his eyes, "explode with them directly!"

Chapter 6 Agent Wizett

After dinner, many students chose to stay in the hall, intending to wait here until eight o'clock.

Professor Flitwick raised his wand, moved the four long tables of the colleges together, and then moved them to the center of the hall, without bias.

Professor McGonagall stood in front of the four long tables of the colleges, gently waved her wand, and performed transformation magic like conducting an orchestra, turning the long tables of the colleges into a wide stage.

Just as Professor McGonagall adjusted the details of the stage and added gilded patterns, Professor Flitwick pointed his wand at the ceiling;

As Professor Flitwick gently shook his wand, the brilliant stars on the ceiling gradually dimmed and settled into a velvety dark night sky.

Thousands of candles floated in the air. Against the backdrop of the dark night sky, the swaying candlelight was like the students' mood at this time, with a bit of excitement in their expectation.

……

As more and more students gathered, the hall became more and more noisy, and everyone discussed happily and enthusiastically.
