Chapter 254 College War
? Among the four houses of Hogwarts, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff belong to the relatively moderate middle school, and the two houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin are at two extremes, respectively. The hostile competition relationship is not pleasing to the eyes of each other.
However, this rivalry and competition is within the scope of the school's rules.
In the words of Fred and George, everyone knows where the bottom line is. Maybe someone will cross that toe or two once in a while, but they'll get it back right away before they cause big trouble, otherwise they'll be punished by school rules.
But at noon today, the atmosphere in the auditorium was very strange.
Ivan keenly felt that something seemed to happen between the two academies of Gryffindor and Slytherin.
The two sides were tense and the relationship was extremely tense, which was something that had never happened before.
As soon as he walked in with Colin and Ginny, he saw several Slytherin House students, led by Malfoy, staring at the three of them maliciously.
Harry and Ron hurried up to usher them to the long Gryffindor table.
Seeing how cautious and vigilant they were between each other, Ai Wen suspected that if there were still professors sitting on the teacher's seat, they would definitely fight immediately.
"What the hell is going on?" Ai Wen sat beside Hermione.
"It was all over the school that Sirius and Snape had a duel," Hermione whispered, her voice full of worry.
"Duel?!" Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, "We saw it at the school gate yesterday..."
"It wasn't that time. It happened this morning. The two of them fought in the faculty lounge. Several passing Hufflepuff students witnessed the entire duel!" Hermione said. When Dumbledore came forward, the two stopped."
Ivan suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't see Sirius and Snape in the auditorium this morning. He thought they both finished breakfast early. Who would have thought that the two of them would actually fight a duel upstairs? ! No wonder Snape was so eccentric this morning, and his attitude towards everyone was so bad.
"Sirius is so impulsive, he has already fought Snape twice on the first day of school..." Hermione said uneasily.
Ai Wen is not so strange, the duel between Sirius and Snape, no matter how you look at it, this is something that will definitely happen, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
If there is no winner or loser, the two of them will definitely continue to fight.
"Since the duel was fought, what was the result?"
"I don't know, they were separated by Dumbledore before they could tell the result!" Hermione continued, "But after class, Sirius told us that he could beat Snape just give him a few more minutes. ."
In Ai Wen's opinion, this sentence should be said by Sirius for face, and Snape's strength should be stronger than him.
More than a decade ago, they might have been evenly matched. But Sirius was locked up in Azkaban for thirteen years after all, and his magic power and fighting skills have declined. And Snape's strength has improved a lot in the past ten years.
If the fight continues, Sirius is likely to lose to Snape.
But in terms of Sirius' fighting style, even if Snape wins the duel in the end, he will definitely pay a considerable price.
All in all, if other external forces and environmental influences are not considered, the result of the duel between the two sides should be a lose-lose.
"Okay, Sirius and Snape fought, what happened to Malfoy and those Slytherin Academy students?" Ivan asked curiously, "Looking at their appearance, I can't wait to see them all. Eat us!"
"Why don't you understand, Evan!" Harry leaned over, "Since Sirius and Snape are facing off against each other, we must support Sirius."
"Support Sirius?!" Ai Wen was even more confused.
"That's right, we've all made plans, we're going to find a chance to fight Slytherin, and we'll decide the winner. We're currently recruiting people. Seeing what Malfoy and Slytherin mean, they must think so too, and they all support it. Snape."
The idea of a head-to-head confrontation between academies and a winner is really naive enough.
Ivan knew that Dumbledore would never let this happen, and he would definitely restrain Sirius and Snape to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"You feel ridiculous too, don't you?" Hermione asked, and after seeing Ivan nodded, she continued, "But Harry and Ron all think so, how can I persuade them not to listen ."
"That's not what we thought, Hermione. After knowing this, many Gryffindors were preparing to fight Slytherin, and everyone wanted to do so for a long time." Ron said innocently, "not to mention , this time with Sirius taking the lead."
"This is just a private plan of a few of you. Sirius will not agree to such a crazy idea." Hermione said worriedly, "Have you forgotten, this happened once last year, and Professor McGonagall was at that time. Crazy, she said that if anyone dares to do this again, he will definitely be fired."
"You mean the scuffle on the Quidditch field," Harry recalled. "Fred and George threw a lot of shit, and Malfoy was the focus."
"He deserves it, who told him to say that to Hermione!" Ron added, glancing at Hermione and then quickly looking away.
"But none of us took advantage in the end, and everyone was punished in the end." Hermione tried to bring the topic back to what she was going to say, "This time..."
"Okay, Hermione, it's not a punishment to reply to Lockhart. I heard Harry say that you and Ivan didn't go there at the time." Ron waved his hand, "I was under Filch's watch. Wiped trophies overnight and threw up slugs for over two weeks."
"So, you shouldn't..."
"It's different this time, Hermione!" Harry said in a low voice, "Malfoy is clearly preparing to attack, the duel between Sirius and Snape is just the fuse, he must be planning something under this pretext, We have to defend."
"If that's the case, we should go tell the professor," Hermione said uncertainly.
"God, do you want us to tell Professor McGonagall that Malfoy may be ready to attack us and hope the school will provide protection?!" Ron refused, waving his fork, "It's a shame, if it's true. Do, we'll be laughed at."
"But......"
"Have you forgotten what happened this morning, Malfoy is provocative and we have to fight it," said Harry firmly. "There is no other way out, Hermione! This is for Sirius and for ourselves."
For the conversation of the three of them, Ivan felt more and more confused as he listened.
He didn't know how Harry and Ron took the duel between Sirius and Snape to the level of a war between the two Houses, and there should be something in the middle that he didn't know about. But only from the analysis of the results, it is indeed possible that Malfoy is planning some kind of conspiracy, and it is very possible to use this to make waves.
The necessary defenses are indeed necessary, but would it be too much of a fuss to directly engage in a large-scale melee? ! To be continued.
