Chapter 74 Duel with Genius George

"All petrified!"

When the battle began, Matthew immediately used the full body binding spell that he was good at.

He can use this spell better than the average third-year wizard.

However, before his spell was completed, he felt that his whole body was stiff and unable to move.

It turned out that George had already used the whole body binding spell at this time.

"The curse stops immediately!"

Walking up to Matthew and undoing the body-binding spell on his body, George said in an encouraging tone:

"You are already very powerful, I am just lucky to be a little faster than you."

Although he won, his character cannot be ruined, and the time to win people's hearts cannot be wasted.

Sure enough, after hearing George's words, Matthew, who was originally looking disappointed, suddenly became much better.

"I will practice hard when I get back and I will definitely beat you next time."

He also felt that he might actually be a little worse than George.

Of course, this is full of naive thoughts, which will soon be broken by reality. He will find that he may not be able to defeat George until graduation, because George did not use his full strength just now.

"Stop, everyone, stop, we have to fight with wands, not fists!"

Soon, the two of them were attracted by Lockhart's anxious shouting. They turned to look around, only to realize that the entire duel stage was in chaos.

Most of the lower-grade wizards don't actually have much magic that can be used for combat. Even if they do, they may not know how to use it in a pinch.

People like Matthew can indeed be said to be the best among them.

So this also led to many young wizards starting to fight after discovering that magic could not win the battle, especially those who already disliked each other.

Even Hermione, the academic wizard who has mastered dozens of spells, is now fighting hand-to-hand with her opponent, Slytherin sophomore Millicent.

Both of their wands fell to the ground. Hermione's neck was clamped by the other's arms, but she still refused to admit defeat and punched the other's thigh with her fist, which was quite strong.

Girls at this age are no worse at fighting than boys.

There are also some senior wizards who are not good at hand-to-hand combat, but they are not that honest either. Instead of just fighting with disarming spells as required, they take the opportunity to experiment with some miscellaneous spells.

Among them, the Weasley brothers were the most hilarious.

This caused some little wizards to start getting injured in various ways.

"Stand up, MacMillan... look out, Miss Fawcett... pinch hard and the bleeding will stop immediately, Boot..."

Lockhart jumped up and down in the crowd, looking a little panicked. This was not the result he wanted.

Snape obviously didn't care over there, maybe because he thought the little wizard's injury was nothing, and Snape's energy was focused on Harry and Malfoy.

He just wanted to see Harry being defeated by Malfoy, but Harry was obviously very talented in magical combat. He and Malfoy were evenly matched, one was dancing under the dancing curse, and the other was under the tickling curse. Haha. laughing out loud.

"Collapse!"

"Collapse!"

George shook his head, waved two stun spells and knocked down Hermione and Millicent who were fighting.

Then he shuttled through the crowd, casting spells one after another, and soon all the first and second grade wizards who were fighting in a group were knocked down.

After that, he pointed his wand at the senior wizards, and some third- and fourth-year wizards were not his enemies until he faced the two most powerful seventh-year wizards.

"Collapse!"

"Armor protection!"

"Expelliarmus!"

The senior wizards were not comparable to the junior wizards. As soon as he joined the battle, George realized the strength of the seventh-year wizards who fought seriously.

His stun spell was indeed very fast, but the armor spell on the opposite side was not slow either. Not only did it block his stun spell, but it also cast a disarming spell on him.

Fortunately, although he didn't know how to cast the Iron Armor Curse, his physical reflexes were far beyond ordinary people's and he quickly dodged the attack of the Disarming Curse.

"It turns out to be George. Do you want to compete with us? Be careful!"

Although the two seventh-year wizards were a little surprised to see the first-year Slytherin star join the battle, they had no intention of stopping.

So the duel between the two turned into a melee between three people.

The two seventh-year wizards frequently appeared with various difficult spells, and the magic light shot out randomly like lasers. This fierce battle quickly attracted the attention of the audience.

In fact, when George helped knock out the younger wizards, he had already attracted the attention of many young wizards in the audience who had not participated in the battle.

As the Slytherin star of a famous school, he had just been invited by the national England Quidditch team and was the youngest player in the world Quidditch team. The moment George took the initiative to take the stage for a magic duel.

Many young wizards are already paying attention to him, no less than Harry Potter, the savior.

Now George boldly joined the showdown between seventh-year wizards, and the key point was that he still insisted on not being eliminated, which made everyone unable to take their eyes away.

"I didn't expect that in addition to being good at studying and playing Quidditch, he is also so talented in magic combat!"

"I suspect he must have the blood of a cat in his body. You see, he doesn't even need a protective shield. He just relies on dodge to avoid all the magic attacks."

"So handsome, and a little cute, Merlin, I am actually so handsome by a little boy in first grade."

"I'm just three years older than him. Age is not a problem. I want to talk."

As the discussion below became louder, Snape and Lockhart also noticed the situation here.

Seeing that George could not lose in the melee with two seventh-year wizards, Snape immediately showed a relieved smile on his face.

It has to be George. If it weren't for the fact that George and Harry have a good relationship, he would never let the useless Malfoy fight Harry.

"It seems that I still have to teach him a few more combat spells when I have time."

He was very satisfied with George's magic combat talent, but George was still too disadvantaged to fight against senior wizards with those few spells repeatedly, which made him think of teaching George his own original spells in advance.

And considering that the door of the secret room was opened, if George could master more spells, he could protect himself in danger.

In the past, I just thought that George was only in the first grade and didn't need to learn and contact those powerful spells so early. It was too difficult.

Now it seems that it is not impossible.

Geniuses should not be taught according to common sense.

"Everyone, pay attention to George, he is doing very well. He has been asking me for advice on magic fighting skills during this period, so he has learned some of my true teachings."

At this time, Lockhart stood up again shamelessly.

Snape was so angry that he almost kicked this guy off the stage.

He knew that George often went to Lockhart to ask for advice on magic, but it was not magic fighting skills at all, but only spells such as the Oblivion Spell, the False Memory Spell, and the Memory Filling Spell.

At this time, he was more determined to find time to teach George the spells he invented, so that the next time George used them, if Lockhart said that he taught him, he would slap Lockhart in the face on the spot and see how Lockhart could quibble.
