Chapter 116 Neville the Snake Catcher
Pursuing the transformation of magical animals is an exploratory attempt by Raven to use his own magic power.
Because ordinary magic spells cannot bear the huge amount of magic input,
If you want to increase the amount of magic power, you need to change the structure of this spell, such as adding a description like Ultimate - Maxima.
But even if all the magic spells that Raven controls now are sublimated and used to the ultimate level,
The magic power of the two Deng is enough for Raven to use it forever.
In this way, Raven's four magic powers seemed a bit too much.
Being unable to use magic power efficiently is an extremely wasteful behavior for Raven.
Therefore, Raven's recent focus is on how to improve the efficiency of magic use.
The talent of magical animals provided Raven with direction.
When Raven transforms into a thunderbird, the coverage area of the summoned thunderstorm will increase with the amount of magic invested.
When using the horse-shaped water monster to transform, Raven could accommodate the entire Black Lake with only one deng of magic power, which had not yet reached the limit.
Fortunately, the transformation of the horse-shaped water monster did not appear out of thin air, but merged into the lake water. Otherwise, the water level might really rise and Hogsmeade would be flooded.
As a newly acquired ability, he can show such an unusual side,
Raven believes that there is still huge room for exploration of these powers from magical animals.
the next period of time
To Raven's delight, since the day the number of love letters he received plummeted,
His popularity also began to wane.
Moreover, many new celebrities appeared during this period, diverting the attention focused on him.
For example, "Medusa Queen Ginny", such as "Crazy Girl Lovegood", and "Snake Catcher Neville".
In the last week of October, after a certain Transfiguration class, Raven was discussing a problem with Professor McGonagall.
Hermione from Gryffindor found this classroom.
"Raven, I knew I would find you here!"
After Raven finished his act of creating a character, he was caught by the little witch who had been waiting for a long time.
The fun is coming!
Raven's troublemaking radar accurately received such a signal!
"What's wrong Hermione, looking so anxious?"
Raven put on a patient expression, and Hermione could tell at a glance that he was happy to help.
"Do you remember Neville? He wants to duel with Draco! If it were you, you would definitely be able to mediate between them."
Hermione looked hopeful.
"...Huh? Duel? Why?"
Raven asked, then continued to add,
"Draco shouldn't be the kind of person to take the initiative now, right?"
This is very useful right now.
Compared to Neville who was still regarded as a child, Lucius had trained Draco as his successor early on.
Although Neville's parents were mentally ill and his uncles had all left the family, he was left to depend on his grandmother.
However, due to his identity, he was naturally sympathized with and protected by the Order of the Phoenix faction.
Now that the Fangs are still in the pioneering stage of working together, neither the pure-blood faction itself nor Lucius himself wants to provoke internal strife.
So Draco, who understands this, shouldn't bully Neville like he did in the parallel world...right?
"No, it wasn't Draco who started the duel, but Neville has been dueling the Slytherin sophomores recently. They all lost, and then Draco had to step in."
Hermione said.
Regarding this duel, as a mutual friend of both parties, Hermione was in a very awkward position.
On the one hand, they also know the experience of the Neville family. Their parents were tortured by Death Eaters and became insane.
Those Death Eaters are basically from Slytherin.
Many Death Eaters are relatives of those Slytherins.
For example, Lestrange, who tortured the Longbottoms, was Malfoy's aunt. This is something that everyone in the wizarding world knows.
As a son, it was understandable that Neville went to defeat those people.
But on the other hand, Harry and the others have a closer relationship with Malfoy.
We are all people who have experienced life and death together, and they will not be so superficial as to reject this friend because of the relationship with the academy.
As a friend, Malfoy also told them about the complicated relationship between fangs,
As Lucius's heir, Draco had to accept the challenge.
Those who were defeated by Neville all ate with the Malfoy family.
At least make your position clear to them.
Both sides had good reasons why Harry and the others were unable to stop this duel.
Hermione felt that Raven's identity was the most suitable person to mediate this duel.
"Is dueling so popular at Hogwarts now?"
Raven had a strange look on her face.
Since Neville had beaten Malfoy until he had to intervene, it meant that he had won at least 4-5 duels.
"Where did they duel? I remember wasn't the Duel Club at Hogwarts closed?"
Raven asked Hermione.
"It's Professor Lockhart, he's starting the club again."
Hermione's expression was a little complicated, as if the troublemaker had become her most respected professor.
Hermione trotted along with Raven,
Finally, we arrived at the bell tower, which was very lively.
Lockhart was presiding over a duel between two fifth-year Slytherin students.
It's not the turn of Neville and Malfoy's game yet, there are still several games ahead.
Hermione took Raven from the hospital wing, so she only needed to go down the stairs of the bell tower and enter the crowd watching the battle on the stairs.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few people watching the battle.
There are people from all the colleges here, except for the grades that are in class.
The entire staircase was a bit crowded.
Is the dueling culture more popular in Hogwarts than in Durmstrang recently?
Then Raven saw Neville talking and laughing with his upcoming opponent, Draco.
Of course, Harry and Raven's younger siblings are also here.
Raven stepped forward and ruffled Ginny's hair.
"Why are you here? Girls who are too violent will scare the people who like you!"
"It's an assignment left by Xiaofu's teacher. He wants me to participate more in practical exercises, but the first graders don't fight with me anymore, so I have to observe~"
Ginny puffed out her cheeks and rearranged her hair with her fingers.
Some were dissatisfied that Raven, who had been the fourth brother for many years, messed up her hair.
Seeing her getting messier as she combed it, Hermione walked over and helped her tidy it up again.
Raven then looked at Malfoy and Neville.
Facing the reinforcements invited by Hermione, Malfoy shrugged helplessly and motioned to Raven to ask Neville. He didn't care.
Neville said with a little embarrassment
"I don't have any conflict with Draco, I'm just training my actual combat ability,"
Then he added in a low voice.
"Though it does make me happy to beat up those people."
Raven asked along the way.
"Then what? What are you going to do?"
Neville looked confused.
"Then?"
"After defeating Draco, what are you going to do next? Start challenging the third grade?"
Raven said.
"I haven't lost yet!" Draco defended, although it seemed that he couldn't beat Neville at this time.
Raven had no intention of waiting for their response.
He said to himself.
"What does defeating the weak prove? Does it prove that you are stronger than the weak?"
Malfoy, who was classified as a weakling, continued to protest.
Raven suggested
"Next time you fight against Ginny. She is not weak. If you want to prove yourself, you should fight against someone stronger."
Neville hesitated for a moment.
Now even Harry and the others tried to persuade him,
If he was struck by Ginny's lightning, he would be in the hospital wing for a long time.
