Chapter 44 End of Semester

The whole audience was shocked!

As we all know, if wizards want to fly, they must use flying tools, such as magic brooms or magic carpets. Wizards cannot fly with their bodies. Although there are rumors that the mysterious man whose name cannot be mentioned can fly, this rumor has never been confirmed, and even if the rumor is finally proven to be true, it is still a mysterious man.

Xie Lin is just a second-year student, how could he fly?

Only the professors with sharp eyes could see that Xie Lin did not fly. It was actually an application of the floating spell. Xie Lin calculated the distance between the two sides, the height and thickness of the air wave clearly, and used the floating spell to make himself rise to a certain height in a short period of time, enough for him to fly across the air wave to Merlin. At this moment, the distance between the two was less than two feet!

Xie Lin sent two spells to Merlin in a flash. The first spell flashed a red light similar to the disarming spell, and the second spell flashed a gray light that no one could recognize.

Although Xie Lin was close to him, Merlin did not lose his composure. With his casting speed, even at such a short distance, he could cast the Armor Spell for defense. Merlin quickly cast two Armor Spells. The first Armor Spell accurately blocked Xie Lin's first Disarming Spell, while Xie Lin's second unknown spell suddenly turned a corner, avoiding the Armor Spell and shooting to Merlin's left!

Merlin frowned, not understanding the purpose of the other party's move. He could only raise his wand and stare at the unknown spell, ready for any possible changes. Unfortunately, he had no idea that his action of staring at the spell was a serious mistake, because this unknown spell was Xie Lin's original Flash Spell.

The spell beam suddenly burst out with a dazzling light that could not be looked at directly, like an exploding white sun.

Although it was in broad daylight, Merlin's eyes were hit by the strong light at a distance of less than one foot. Even though Merlin was just a spirit, he still fell into a state of dizziness, confusion, and blindness!

Merlin had never expected this to happen. At this time, he was unable to respond because of his out-of-control mental state. The whole person was like a statue that had lost the ability to react. Until his vision and mind returned to normal, he found that Schelling was smiling at him politely, holding the wand that originally belonged to him and playing with it casually.

Merlin lost! Lost to a second-year student!

Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick in the professor's seat stood up in disbelief. Among the four deans, only Snape was more accustomed to Schelling's mystery and did not lose his composure like the other deans. Dumbledore once again showed a thoughtful expression, his eyes flashing with various thoughts that could not be known to others.

To be fair, Merlin's strength far exceeds that of Sherin, but with Sherin's precise layout, extremely accurate calculations, and hidden killers, Merlin was successfully caught off guard. Of course, the experience of the previous four contestants also gave him a lot of reference. If it were to happen again, Merlin would be prepared for the flash spell, and Sherin would not be able to replicate this victory.

It was not until the moment when Merlin admitted "I lost" that the students in the audience burst into cheers that resounded through the sky. This was a full-court cheer in the strict sense, regardless of school, grade, bloodline, or gender. No matter who it is, whether they like Sherin or not, they cannot deny the exciting fact that a student defeated the legendary wizard Merlin.

And the name of Sherin has officially become a legend of Hogwarts.

Next, it was Cedric's turn to play. Cedric's strength was actually not weak, but compared with the other contestants, his performance was mediocre, so I won't mention it here. In the last event of the competition, only Sherin scored a full score of 50 points, Percy and Penelope each scored 30 points, and Gemma, Cassius and Cedric all scored 10 points.

The champion fell into Sherin's hands without suspense. When Sherin took the special honorary medal of Merlin's Order from Dumbledore and wore it on his wizard robe, the audience burst into warm applause again.

Merlin in the audience looked at this scene and smiled with relief. He exchanged glances with Dumbledore again, and turned into smoke and dissipated without everyone noticing.

Sherin met the other contestants when he walked off the stage.

Percy was a little embarrassed, obviously a little embarrassed about his previous words, but he still politely expressed his congratulations. Penelope and Cedric sincerely expressed their admiration for Sherin, and they were not embarrassed at all because Sherin was younger than them.

As for the two contestants from Slytherin, they were not jealous of their defeat, but were more excited than Schelling. Cassius slapped Schelling on the shoulder and jumped up and down like a monkey, cheering. Gemma looked at this little brother who had repeatedly created miracles, with a glittering look in her eyes, and her eyebrows and mouth were full of joy, and her excitement was beyond words.

Schelling smiled happily, because he knew that Slytherin had begun to change, and the Slytherin spirit of unity and collective honor were fully revealed at this moment.

[Merlin's special medal of honor was obtained! ]

The rest of the semester was spent in a dazzling sunshine.

The school cancelled exams and Quidditch, leaving students with nothing to do. Students could be seen playing wizard chess, backgammon, Gobstones, ten-pin bowling or crackling cards in every corner of the campus.

Shelling sorted out his harvest this semester.

He first gave Dobby 20 pints of eight-eyed spider venom, most of the snake meat and skin of the basilisk to sell at the underground black market in Knockturn Alley in exchange for a large amount of gold galleons. Then he also took time out every day to study the map of the Forbidden Forest obtained from Daphne, trying to understand the terrain and regional distribution of the Forbidden Forest.

The last time he entered the Forbidden Forest, he just followed Harry's route to the spider's nest and did not fully explore other areas of the Forbidden Forest.

In the remaining time, Shelling rarely let go to play with his friends and build relationships.

The little wizards in Slytherin generally have a wealthy family, so they will play more advanced games-Nott brought a mini skeleton model from home, and he could command it to fight as long as he injected magic power. The game is played on a sandbox, which has deserts, forests, oceans and other landforms. There are also four types of skeleton models: skeleton swordsman, skeleton wolf knight, skeleton archer and lich.

Players have to control skeleton models with different abilities to capture cities in the sandbox, which is similar to the Risk board game in the Muggle world. The difference is that the skeletons can move autonomously under the command of the players, and will perform various combat actions and make various eerie shouts, so it is more realistic.

Nott probably played it a lot since he was a child. He has first-class strategic ability and always beats Draco to pieces, making him scream with anger. Blaise is a strong man of words. He talks a lot, but his actual performance is much worse than Draco. After losing a few times, Sherin gradually understood the key points and was able to enter a situation of winning and losing with Nott.

Blaise usually looks arrogant and doesn't seem to care about anything. But after getting along for a long time, Sherin found that he is actually a sultry person. Blaise's mother had remarried seven times, and each time she inherited a considerable amount of inheritance, so her daily life is extremely luxurious, which is even better than Draco.

Blaise took out a mini model of a Riva yacht from his luggage. A few friends were at the Black Lake. With a spell, the yacht's appearance became normal size.

Riva is one of the oldest, most legendary and most expensive brands in the world of yachts. It is known as the "Rolls-Royce of the yacht industry". The interior design and furnishings are extremely luxurious and comfortable. With the use of the traceless stretch spell, the space inside is enough to accommodate more than 30 people.

Although the Ministry of Magic has laws against Muggle items, it is quite tolerant of cars, yachts and motorcycles. As far as Schelling knows, many high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic have several Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis hidden in their homes.

(Note: This is not made up by the author, it comes from the chapter "Technology" in Pottermore. Most pure-blood families also like cars and yachts. Only the Black family is a minority of extremists who are determined not to touch Muggle items, so Sirius was excluded because of owning a motorcycle)

Several friends excitedly called all the female companions they knew, and found a sunny day to hold a swimsuit party on the Black Lake. Although Blaise usually looks indifferent, he has quietly got two beautiful female companions among the first-year students of Slytherin. At this moment, he is hugging them left and right, which is indescribable.

Draco is not bad either. He is accompanied by Pansy, who is deliberately dressed up to be charming. In addition, his bodybuilding body developed by Quidditch training in the past year has also attracted a lot of attention.

Needless to say, Shaylin, Daphne and Meredith followed Shaylin closely, never leaving his side - even so, they still couldn't resist the swarm of flirts surrounding Shaylin - Tracy Davis and Audrey Runcorn from the same class took this opportunity to dress up and show off their newly developed graceful figures; the first-year girls took the fresh and cute route, trying to dress cute and sweet...

Shaylin didn't have time to be proud of his charm, and Daphne and Meredith pinched Shaylin's arm flesh with their sharp fingernails from behind, causing Shaylin to gasp in pain, and his mind was full of the terrifying look of women, and cold sweat unconsciously seeped out of his forehead.

Nott, Goyle, and Crabbe stared at the two girls in swimsuits beside Sherin. Daphne had a plump and hot figure, and I believe her family spent a lot of expensive magic potions on her; Meredith benefited from her strong genes and had a tall figure that was naturally suitable for clothes. Coupled with her cold and arrogant temperament of an iceberg beauty, she was no less charming than Daphne.

The three boys had gone through two hard semesters but still had no good female companions. They could only look at their three classmates with envy and jealousy. Among them, Sherin, who was surrounded by beauties, made them grit their teeth the most - brother, you ate the meat, at least leave some soup, eating alone will be punished by God, the three boys could only curse in their hearts.

Because they were minors, the party on the yacht only had butter beer and other non-alcoholic drinks, so apart from playing instruments, singing, and dancing, nothing unspeakable happened.

By the way, Brace’s heavy metal guitar playing was really good, and he was no less good than Heathcote Barbary in The Weird Sisters, and he successfully brought the atmosphere of the party to a climax.

In addition, Terence Higgs, a third-year student, approached Schelling and invited him to go hunting Nogtail with him in Norfolk during the summer vacation. His father Bertie Higgs, Auror Office Director Rufus Scrimgeour, and Wizengamot member Tiberus McLaggen would go with him.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to make friends, Schelling would naturally not refuse, not to mention that it would be beneficial for him to make friends with these powerful people in the Ministry of Magic.

Gemma Farley also approached Schelling and wanted to invite Schelling to her family's insect farm in Kent during the summer vacation. Her family farm raised a lot of scarabs, billywigs, heartbreaks and giant chameleons as potion materials. In addition to selling them, they can also be used as bait to fish in the pond on the farm, catching Shrakes, which are very delicious but very difficult to catch because of their fins.

The attentive Sherin noticed a hint of ambiguous emotion in the eyes of his senior sister Gemma. Although he was interested in tasting the Chirac fish, he still reluctantly refused, which disappointed Gemma.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the holiday again, and the students were going to take the Hogwarts Express back home.

On the train, Sherin, Daphne, and Meredith occupied a compartment alone. Daphne handed him a thick stack of blood research materials that the family had sent her not long ago.

Sherin accepted the materials as if they were treasures, and at the same time, thinking of the Patronus Charm that had been included in the summer vacation learning content, it seemed that he had a premonition that this summer vacation would be very fulfilling.

[Greengrass family blood research materials obtained! ]
