Chapter 28 Midnight Duel (Modified, Typos Have Been Revised)

"Alan, I knew you were here." On this day, Fleger, Ron and Harry came to the library together and found Alan - during this period of time, Alan's life rhythm became extremely regular, except for classrooms. You can find him by going to the library, or by going to the restaurant during meal times.

Allen put down the Potions textbook in his hand, and looked up at a few "old" friends he knew before entering school: "Hey, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

"We usually can't take classes together, except for Transfiguration class, we never get together again, our classes always overlap with the annoying Slytherin." Fleger complained aggrievedly, "The library has become yours I'm stationed here, and I didn't see you working so hard in Muggle school... We Gryffindors probably only see you often, that domineering Miss Know-It-All."

"The deeds of the few of you have often been heard in my ears. For example, Harry did a good deed today, helping Longbottom win the Memory Ball from Malfoy." Allen described even Overheard what the little wizards were talking about in the library - Mrs. Pince had sternly silenced them many times for this.

"Yeah, you don't know how good Harry is today... He swooped down from a height of about fifty feet and grabbed Neville's memory ball." Flegge beamed, as if he was the one who grabbed the memory ball myself.

"Speaking of which, Neville's memory ball glowed as soon as he received it. What did he forget?" Allen was always curious about why the fat boy's memory ball glowed.

"He forgot to wear the Hogwarts magic robes." Ron shrugged, but his loud voice was too loud. (Author's note: In the memory ball part of the movie, all students except Neville are wearing robes.)

"Hey, be quiet! This is the library." Mrs. Pince, the librarian, waved a feather duster and warned Fletcher.

"But Malfoy proposed a wizard duel to us. But Alan, you know me, I know too little magic." Harry lowered his voice and asked Alan for help with a look of embarrassment. The habit he developed at school made him unable to help telling Allen when he encountered problems.

"Malfoy's assistant is Vincent Crabbe. I planned to become Harry's assistant with Flegge, but the two of them agreed that you, as an assistant, have a better chance of winning." Ron looked at Harry with some dissatisfaction. Li glanced at him and added that he didn't have any objections to Allen. He just thought that although Allen's grades were good, it didn't mean how good his actual combat ability was. When it came to practical extremes, he was always one of the bottom few in the class, just like Neville.

Malfoy would not participate in this ridiculous duel, he did it too, although it actually hurt the glory of pure blood, thinking of this, Alan replied, "Didn't you ever think that Malfoy might not appear?"

"Anyway, it's impossible for a wizard to avoid a duel that has already been initiated, what a shame!" Ron said nonchalantly, he didn't think it was a problem, he just wanted to beat Malfoy to the brim.

Allen had to admit that under normal circumstances, wizards would not avoid a duel. Although Malfoy managed to overshadow Harry and the others, the average pure blood was fine, but as a member of the ancient sacred twenty-eight families—although Most people would not take this kind of duel in the form of a first-year child's house too seriously, but if an adult wizard did it, his behavior would only embarrass his family.

"Alan, you can be my assistant." Harry looked expectant.

"Okay, as you wish, my friend." Allen felt that it was not good to refuse, otherwise in the Muggle world, such a good friend asked you to be so deliberately alienated, which would easily arouse suspicion from others, and by the way You can also take a look at the legendary three-headed dog who loves to listen to music.

"We've won." Ron and Harry clapped each other excitedly, this time the two little lions forgot to lower their loud voices.

"Get out! Get out of here, it's too noisy!" Mrs. Pince angrily waved a feather duster and trotted over to drive them away.

"Then Alan, see you in the prize showroom at 11:30 p.m.." Harry and the three quickly ran out of the library happily.

"Are you going to duel with Malfoy and the others?" Allen's roommate Edward came out from the shadow of the bookshelf with a yawn.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Allen thought he would never be caught.

"That's right, for little wizards of our age, the duel is to shoot sparks at each other?" Edward laughed as if he had figured something out. "And if you get caught, your points will be deducted at worst, and you will get it back in a few days."

If this little episode is not counted, Alan's day is considered very complete. He successfully finished watching "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms", and he felt as if he was full and very satisfied.

At 11:30 in the evening, it was already curfew time, Allen tiptoed out of bed, and Edward was already asleep. Using the illusion spell that came with the wizard's robe once, Allen quickly came to the prize showroom on the fourth floor.

The Prize Room houses all past honors for students and staff, trophies, statues, trophies, plates, shields and medals are displayed in crystal display cases, as well as a list of all Boys and Girls Presidents.

Allen hid behind a huge display case, and waited for a while before seeing Harry and the others.

"Why is it so late? Aren't you looking forward to the duel tonight?" Allen looked at the head with this thick hair behind them and asked deliberately, "Hey, there is one more person."

"Well, Ellen, her name is Hermione Granger, she must follow, we can't help it." Ron complained to Ellen angrily.

"It's against the school rules for you to do this, I must..." Hermione looked angry now, "Mr. Harris didn't expect you to mess around with them..."

"Calm down, Miss Granger, you are breaking the school rules yourself now." Allen pointed out this fact calmly, and then saw Hermione's fluffy hair trembling with anger as if it had exploded with interest, " With Professor McGonagall's character, he won't listen to your excuse..."

"That's because the fat lady at the door didn't know where to visit in the middle of the night, and I can't go back! Mr. Harris, you have been praised by all the professors. As an honor student, you don't think this is ridiculous. Is the duel right?" Hermione tried hard to win Alan's approval, "We should stop them together!"

"Yes, it is indeed a ridiculous duel, but as a wizard, since we have agreed to a duel, we should fulfill our promise. This is a matter of dignity. If anyone violates it, they will be looked down upon..." Alan raised his eyebrows. Hermione, who stopped her hand and was about to say something, turned to Harry and asked, "Okay, Harry, when is your appointment with Malfoy? Since you're already late for a while and he hasn't been seen yet, Have you considered the situation in the afternoon when I told you he might not be coming?"

"It's already past 12 midnight, Malfoy and the others have arrived... They won't be caught by Filch, right?" Harry looked at the mechanical watch Fleger gave him—although it was more troublesome than using batteries, But at least within the range of Hogwarts, where electronics can be damaged, this item can be used normally.

"Malfoy may not be caught, but Crabbe may not be... You can see his figure." Ron pursed his mouth, he still didn't realize that Malfoy, as a pure-blood wizard, initiated a duel Will take the initiative to renege.

In the moonlight, the crystal glass case displaying the prizes shone brightly. In the darkness, where trophies, shields, medals and statues glowed silver and gold, the five moved forward against the wall, eyes fixed on the doors at either end of the room, and Harry drew his wand in case Malfoy rushed Come in and fight him.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

"Maybe he's afraid to come because he's scared," whispered Ron, impatient to wait.

At this time, a voice came from the next room, and Fleger jumped up in fright, and the others also raised their wands.

As soon as Harry raised his wand, he heard: "These youngsters may be hiding in some corner."

Argus Filch, Warden at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft, speaking to his cat, Mrs Norris.

Horrified, Harry frantically waved his wand silently at the other four, telling them to follow him as quickly as possible; they made their way silently to the door away from Filch's voice, and soon they heard Filch Into the prize showroom.

"They're somewhere in here," they heard the warden murmur, "probably hiding."

Go this way!——Harry signaled to everyone silently with his eyes and fingers. Hermione, the know-it-all, was obviously frightened at this moment. She nodded instinctively and did not speak, and then quietly followed everyone along the side of the prize showroom. Down a corridor lined with armor, she could hear Filch getting closer to them.

"Kang Dang, kang Dang..." Fleger accidentally touched a piece of armor, and the sound of the armor rolling around was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night.

"Run!" Allen took the lead and ran wildly, and the five immediately ran at full speed along the corridor.

Not daring to look back to see if Filch was following them - they circled the doorposts, ran down corridor after corridor, and finally they emerged near the Charms classroom.

"I - told - you," Hermione gasped, clutching at the seam of her breast, "I - told - you!"

After taking a quick glance, Allen ignored the people who complained to each other, because the forbidden area of ​​"Lu Wei" with some blood of the three-headed dog is on this floor.
