Chapter 75 Knight Bus

"Expelliarmus!"

"Collapse!"

George saw the gap between the two seventh-year wizards attacking each other, relied on his speed advantage to get close to them, put his wand against his back and cast magic, and finally won the game by luck.

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

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

In particular, he benefited a lot from some of the magic skills used by the two seventh-year wizards in their battle.

"George helped maintain order and showed excellent dueling skills. Although there is still room for improvement compared to me, he is already quite good. Twenty points extra!"

Lockhart stepped forward and hugged George. Snape, who was a little slower, raised his eyebrows. However, seeing that the other party was giving George extra points, he didn't say anything more. He just turned around and walked to the center of the stage. :

"It seems that you idiots haven't mastered the skills of dueling very well. Let's go on stage two by two. Professor Lockhart and I will give you one-on-one guidance, and then we'll start the duel."

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

Lockhart named George directly.

The cold light in Snape's eyes flashed away:

"George is too good to set a good example. I think Malfoy and Potter are good. I will coach Malfoy and you will coach Potter."

"That's fine."

Lockhart thought about it and realized that Harry's reputation was not worse than George's, which was not bad either.

All the little wizards exited, leaving only Snape, Malfoy, Harry and Lockhart on the stage.

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

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

In his current situation, if he wanted to learn black magic such as the Three Unforgivable Curses and the Fire Curse, he could only rely on the Forbidden Book Zone.

But usually as long as he entered the forbidden book area, Dumbledore would secretly monitor him, so that he did not dare to risk reading those magic books that recorded dark magic.

In fact, he is now very similar to the young Voldemort in many aspects. If he shows interest in dark magic, Dumbledore will probably be unable to sit still.

So he also paid special attention to restraint.

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

Most people in the school believe that Harry is the descendant of Slytherin, because only Slytherins can speak parseltongue.

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

Soon, the time came to Christmas Eve, and the school officially closed.

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

When he first started school half a year ago, he was just an inconspicuous little wizard who was proficient in lock-picking spells and other introductory magic.

Nowadays, he is already a famous Slytherin star in school, and he has never lost a single match against seventh grade wizards in magic.

This is even if he doesn't use super powers. If he uses super powers to cooperate, his strength will be much stronger.

After all, his superpowers have improved a lot compared to when he started school, and he can easily control objects weighing hundreds of kilograms.

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

Unlike other little wizards who have parents and go back, as an orphan, he can only return to his home in Knockturn Alley alone.

He did not notify Tonks when he returned to Knockturn Alley this Christmas, so it was impossible for Tonks to drive a magic car to pick him up like last time.

Things like favor should not be wasted on trivial matters easily. No matter how good the relationship is, if it is always wasted like this, it will gradually become alienated.

"Knight Bus!"

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

In less than a minute, with a deafening bang, a bright purple three-decker bus appeared in front of George.

With an owl as big as Peppa Pig, it's not very convenient to take the subway or take a taxi. He doesn't know the Disguise Charm yet, and he can't fly openly.

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

The Knight Bus is a magical public transportation vehicle specially set up by the Ministry of Magic to facilitate underage wizards or wizards who are too weak to disapparate.

A Muggle-inspired bus that has been magically transformed to be very fast and can take you anywhere in the UK.

It went into 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, get in the car, and we'll take you wherever you want to go.

My name is Stan Sampack, 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, and then got on the bus with his luggage:

"Hello, Mr. Sampac, please go to the Leaky Cauldron!"

"For seven silver coins, you can get chocolate for ten, and for eleven you can get a hot water bottle and a toothbrush in any color."

The salesman wizard followed and got into the car.

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

"George, here are seven silver sikols."

George put the luggage on a bed and took out seven silver sikols.

The interior of the Knight Bus is different from ordinary buses. Instead of seats, there are brass beds, and magic candles are lit on the bedside brackets.

Wizards who take the bus can sleep directly on the bed until they reach their destination.

"George, why is this name so familiar? It looks familiar to you."

The salesman wizard was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then 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 stared and exclaimed:

"So you are George, the Quidditch genius who is rare to see 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 you don't know someone, you will immediately have a hidden favorability bonus when you meet them for the first time.

"Drive, Ern."

The salesman wizard and the driver wizard said hello, and the knight bus suddenly roared and flew out at a high speed that was difficult to recognize with the naked eye, as if it had entered another space.

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