HP's mission is too boring

Chapter 13

There was still more than an hour before the duel, but a lot of people had already gathered under the beech tree, most of them wanted to take a good seat first to watch the excitement.

Gino walked around the tree a few times, measured out a duel circle with his footsteps, and then asked the onlookers to use Transfiguration to conjure a long rope, and then formed a circle on the flat grass in front of the tree. big circle.

After finishing the duel venue, Jino clapped his hands, walked slowly to the big tree, closed his eyes and meditated.

An hour passed quickly, and more and more people gathered under the tree, and Potter and Snape also arrived as scheduled.

Professor Flitwick stood between Potter and Snape, explained the dueling rules loudly, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!" was Potter's confident answer.

"Ready." This was Snape's calm answer.

"Okay, I'll count to one, two, three, and you take three steps back, then bow." Professor Flitwick said, "One... two... three, bow."

Following Professor Flitwick's instruction, both Potter and Snape turned and walked three steps backwards, then turned back again, and bowed to each other through gritted teeth.

"Start!" With an order, three strings of sparks shot out from the wand, except for the one from Professor Flitwick, the other two strings rushed towards their enemies.

To tell the truth, Jino originally thought that this duel was nothing to watch, after all, both sides were only first-year brats, and the most effective magic that could be used was only as clear as a spring.But both sides are extremely talented, Potter is born of pure blood, his magic power is deeper than ordinary people, and the spells he uses are more effective than ordinary students; Snape is hardworking, and he has already started to practice the next semester's spells. Hexed, so now he has more magic to fight back.

In this way, the two sides come and go, sometimes actively attacking and trying to make a hole in the opponent's body, sometimes passively defending and rolling around to avoid the spell.The whole process can be regarded as climax after climax, wonderful.

The surrounding crowd sometimes cheered and sometimes sighed. An impulsive Gryffindor rushed into the battle circle and wanted to join the battle, but was unfortunately hit by Potter and Snape's spells at the same time, and became Ben Ben. The first victim of the duel.

While watching the duel, Jino was distracted from his task, but when the duel went on for about ten minutes, there was still no sign of completing the task.

Is it necessary to determine the winner to be considered complete?Gino thought with some distress, and looked at the battle situation again.From the current point of view, Potter seems to have the upper hand, but it is hard to say whether Snape will come from behind and explode the small universe, so the outcome is still a [-]-[-] number.

"Petrify everything!" Taking advantage of Potter's unprepared moment, Snape quickly used the spell that made Potter embarrassing, as if he wanted to use this spell to decide the outcome.

However, Potter is not a vegetarian either. He was unprepared to fall under this spell last time, but now the situation is different. Potter dodges, dexterously dodges the spell, flips his wrist, and clearly expresses a All petrification returned to Snape.

Seeing that the curse was about to hit him, Snape was also ready to dodge it, but his motor nerves were really not developed enough, it was luck to dodge a few times before, but this time he ran out of luck and tripped with his left foot With his right foot, he fell to the ground and unfortunately hit the petrification spell.

Being petrified means that Snape has lost the ability to fight back, and Professor Flitwick announced Potter's victory on tiptoe.Gryffindor, who was just watching from the sidelines, lifted Potter up and cheered loudly.

At this moment, everyone could only see the glory of Potter's victory, but did not notice Snape's humiliated expression lying on the ground.

Seeing Snape's humiliated and resentful expression, Kino felt a little guilty.If he hadn't provoked this duel in order to complete the task, Snape would still be sitting peacefully in an unknown corner of the lounge, studying the potion book, right?Instead of being humiliated in front of the whole school and lying stiffly on the ground like now.

Mission five hot to continue (3)

While everyone's attention was still focused on Potter, who was complacent after winning, Gino secretly took Snape away.Lily wanted to follow, but Gino stopped her.Gino believed that the last person Snape wanted to see right now was Lily.

"Are you... okay?" Gino didn't dare to break the petrification spell for Snape on the spot, because he was afraid that he would do something irrational out of embarrassment.But Gino didn't expect that Snape would continue to remain petrified after the petrification spell was lifted, completely immersed in his own world.

"I want to be alone for a while." Snape finally spoke, his tone was terrifyingly calm.This abnormal state made Kino even more worried.

Gino hesitated for a moment, but still said, "This time it was an accident, it would be nice to win it back next time." His dry tone proved that this was definitely not a successful consolation.

Snape's black eyes looked over, blankly, "Next time? I don't have a next time."

Hearing Snape's desperate tone, Kino realized that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.

"How could there be no next time? How about we have another duel at Christmas? We can go to that idiot Potter now, and we'll clean him up at Christmas."

Regarding Gino's dry comfort, Snape just sneered a couple of times, and didn't speak again.Seeing Snape in a completely decadent state, Kino could only think of some words to comfort him, but it was undoubtedly a waste of time.In the end, Gino couldn't think of any new words, so he could only sit by Snape's side and keep him company, hoping that the guy wouldn't do anything stupid.

"Snape, it's time for the dinner, shall we go eat something?" Kino couldn't bear to sit like this for hours.Although he ate a lot of breakfast, but now is the time when young people grow up, eating three meals a day is not enough, let alone eating two meals less.

"I'm not going." This answer was expected, and it would be strange if Snape was willing to appear in public under such circumstances!

"Then why don't we go directly to the kitchen to eat? I found out where the kitchen is." These words had little effect, and Snape didn't even reply to Gino.

"... Shall I take you to a place? You will definitely like it there." Scratching his hair, Kino finally decided to contribute his secret base - the Room of Requirement, hoping that this magical room could restore Snape A little energy.

"No." Snape was still so indifferent, but Kino couldn't let him be so decadent now, so he simply dragged him up to the eighth floor.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Snape originally thought that the idiot Kino was going to take him back to the dormitory, but he took himself directly to a corridor on the eighth floor, and pulled himself like an idiot in the corridor walk around.

"Okay, you can go in." Kino didn't care about Snape's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but directly held the doorknob, and said to Snape, "Next is the moment to witness the miracle."

"...idiot." For Kino's convulsions, Snape could only return with these two words.But the scene that appeared before his eyes also made him lose the ability to speak.

What happened to the medicinal materials all over the wall?What's up with that exquisite (?) potions console?What about the crucible that still exudes the fragrance of potions?

"Explain!" Snape asked succinctly as he ran to the cauldron.

"I learned this from the house-elves by accident. They call this the house of coming and going. It only appears when people need it." Gino briefly explained the usefulness of the room of responsiveness, "As long as it's what you want, this house will come and go." A room can be conjured up for you. But everything in this room cannot be taken out.”

"..." Hearing the last sentence, Snape also stopped his hands from searching for potions, and said regretfully, "How could this be possible."

"However, you can still use the contents inside to practice potions, so you can also save some money on buying potions."

Snape was silent for a moment before asking, "Why did you tell me?"

"Huh? Are you referring to why I told you about the existence of Come and Go House? Actually, I didn't intend to tell you and Lily, but..." But this time, seeing you in pity, I only told you with a little guilt.Of course, the second half of this sentence must not be known to Snape, otherwise this guy's self-esteem still doesn't know how to explode! "However, I think this place is more useful to you, so I will tell you."

"Thank you." It was a rare word to hear from Snape's mouth. In most cases, as long as he didn't open his mouth to mock you, he would be thanking you.

"It's nothing, I consider it an investment." Seeing that Snape's mood improved, Gino couldn't help showing his sense of distance again. "You have a talent for potions."

"Talent? A person who failed in making a potion for the first time, what kind of potion talent are you talking about?" Snape could be said to be brooding about his first potion failure.

But that is hidden!Of course, Gino couldn't say that Snape's first potion failed because he framed it, "But I have noticed that every time you practice potion alone, the potion is very successful."

This is true, and Snape himself felt that, except for the inexplicable failure of the first potion, every subsequent potion production went smoothly.
