This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 36 A miserable defeat!!!

It is impossible to find something that does not exist, so Andrew did not meet the Hufflepuff who was plotting against the Black Lake until the class started the next day.

So, on this day, Andrew had a relatively ordinary life.

However, just as life always has some twists and turns, accidents started happening after the first class the next day.

Although no fights occurred during the two-day weekend, the time was enough for the first-grade students to realize some bad ideas that came to their minds.

The cohesion brought by collective fighting and the weird ideas brought by mixed backgrounds, over time, produced something remarkable.

During the holidays, the Gryffindor students successfully purchased some magical props that were easy to carry and would not make things worse - boxing gloves brought from the Muggle world and delivered by owls.

They quietly put the things into their schoolbags, and then after class, the strongest students took these magical props and blocked the Slytherin students.

-

'How did things turn out like this?'

Looking at a group of classmates who were eager to try, Harry felt a little confused.

He was almost forced to become the leader of the students - although it felt good, he had not expected how things would turn out like this.

If he were a little older, or had read some books on the subject, he would be very clear that this kind of thing, in a broad sense, is called heroes being made by the times, and in a narrow sense, it is just seeds sprouting at the right time.

Fame brings trust, Neville's request brings motivation, success brings confidence and the inertia of other people's thinking - if there is something, Harry Potter will help.

When this behavior was triggered again and there was pressure from the opposing house, he naturally became the most trusted person by most Gryffindors.

"We have to stop Malfoy this time..."

Ron looked eager to try - every Gryffindor looked forward to the big scene, and he was no exception. In particular, his two performances were excellent, which earned him a lot of praise from students. This made him, who had been ignored by his two unfocused brothers since childhood, want to fight more.

As for the college ranking, not many people care about it at the moment - the almost empty scoring hourglass and the recognition of seniors make most first-year students almost fearless.

Anyway, we won’t write letters to inform parents, so what’s there to be afraid of?

Of course this was not true - many of the senior students were already grinning and waiting for these first-year Gryffindors to learn important courses outside the school curriculum.

A first-year student also noticed that something was wrong - but she was working hard to get good grades and was not in a good mood at the moment, so she had no intention of dissuading these reckless guys.

"Remember, don't hit the head, surround them, and leave after you're done!"

Harry gave orders carefully and arranged lookouts. When he estimated that the Slytherins were approaching, he immediately led the charge.

It must be said that the previous arrangement was very successful - although the lethality of equipment such as boxing gloves is not high, the protection they provide can indeed make Slytherin students helpless.

They quickly knocked down the group of surrounded students, but that was all they could do.

The Slytherins, who had just finished class, quickly gathered to provide support, and drew their wands when Harry and the others were fighting in close combat.

"Potter, you damned scar-head!"

"The shoe bit him!"

About seven or eight - or more - Slytherin first years shouted something that sounded like this at the same time.

Almost instantly, Harry felt as if something had bitten the big toe of his foot fiercely - the sudden pain made him almost unable to stand. Although several Gryffindors still fought resolutely, they were restricted in their movements and eventually fell to this vicious spell after killing some Slytherins.

The senior students who came over to try to ensure that these first-year students would not cause too much trouble tried to break the curse to no avail, so they had to call students from other grades to take these unfortunate freshmen to the school hospital.

Thus, the first freshman battle ended with Gryffindor's defeat.

-

"That's about it. It is said that not only did the Gryffindors lose their last points, but Harry Potter and several of the most capable Gryffindors were also sent to detention..."

At the lunch table, Hal described the entire battle as if he were there in person.

"They actually asked someone to buy Muggle fighting items. They really think too much... But I'm afraid that the previous Gryffindors have already done it, so they restrained themselves."

"No..."

Hal shook his finger and kept the secret. "It is said that this is the first time someone has done this. After all, everyone knows a little bit of curses by the middle of the first year. Gryffindor's defeat this time is related to one person."

"The professor?"

"You're not giving me any sense of surprise, Andrew..."

Hal sighed, "Yes, because of Professor Snape, his partiality to Slytherin is simply too much. During the weekend, he called the students who were not in detention to the office for extra lessons, and then the Slytherin students practiced in the lounge for half a day.

"I even heard some uncertain news - that Slytherin professor took out a curse that almost no one had ever seen in order to ensure success..."

It's not impossible.

Not only Andrew, almost everyone in their dormitory agreed with this view.

-

"Anyway, you're a great hero - this is the first time Snape has ended up so upset."

Harry felt somewhat relieved by the twins' words, but it would have been better if they had stopped laughing at his feet being hung up.

"We lost the fight..."

Harry tried to make himself more comfortable, but he couldn't help but grin.

"I also think it's not right to fight with them all the time. We come to Hogwarts to study..." He tried hard to think of what to say - it was difficult, as he had never studied related things before, because most of his time was spent thinking about how to avoid Dudley and his so-called friends.

"But I still couldn't help it. Neville didn't do anything. Snape just didn't like him and bullied him. And those Slytherin guys followed Snape... Then everyone started fighting. First they succeeded, then they failed. I listened to a lot of experiences, but I became more and more anxious."

He closed his eyes and thought about the stories about Dumbledore he had read. "But since we lost this time, no one is in a hurry anymore. Slytherin has a curse, but we don't. I think we need one too..."

???

Under the twins' surprised gazes, Harry spoke faster and faster, "They consulted their own professors. We also have senior students. Although Professor McGonagall will not support us in doing this, the help provided by senior students is not bad. We always have to face those Slytherin guys... Next we should study hard, at least learn how to deal with them..."

"Winning or losing temporarily doesn't mean anything, Fred, George, let's go study first, and then we can learn magic once we have mastered it." Harry opened his eyes, shining brightly, but in the end he still didn't say the prefix of that sentence, "Well... don't bully the poor young man."
