The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Of course I don't know."

Scott shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Eddie wouldn't stop there, "Did you see that? She used wandless spellcasting! Incredible! As expected of a Ravenclaw girl!"

"Oh...that...that's Savannah?"

Milton, who was in the classical music club with Savannah, seemed to have just come to his senses, and his tone was still somewhat bewildered.

At this point, many students had lost interest in watching the other duels and began to enthusiastically discuss Savannah's performance.

Her performance of summoning vines without a staff just now stunned everyone.

However, at this moment, the person involved, Savannah, was still squatting on the ground like a mushroom.

Or rather, it's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

The desire to escape reality is quite obvious.

By this time, the other first-year wizards had all finished their duels.

Of the people Scott was watching, Jacob and Ginny had already won.

Luna seemed to be drawn to Savannah's situation, and when she couldn't help but turn around to look, she was struck by Ginny's petrification spell.

When everyone left the stadium, Savannah remained squatting in the same spot, not moving.

“Miss Dougherty! Miss Dougherty!” Professor McGonagall called out to her, “You should go back!”

But the girl seemed completely absorbed in the mushroom's role, ignoring everything and remaining motionless.

In the end, Professor Flitwick went onto the court and led her off.

As she walked off the field, she kept covering her face with her hands.

Savannah did not return to the stands, much to the anticipation of the Ravenclaw students.

She ran back to the castle like a gust of wind.

"Oh, why did she leave? I wanted to talk to her about that punch she threw," Eddie said regretfully.

Roger laughed and said, "I should warn you, Eddie, if you talk about that punch in front of her, you'll probably be the one getting punched next."

At this point, Professor McGonagall announced that the second-year wizards would begin their rounds.

As the "boy who survived," Harry became the center of attention the moment he stepped onto the pitch.

Although their thoughts and expressions differ.

But without a doubt, everyone present was watching him and paying attention to him.

Chapter 217 The Second-Year Duel Ends

Although he can usually participate in Quidditch matches with ease under the watchful eyes of others, Harry seemed unusually nervous today.

He kept his head down under everyone's gaze.

The "boy who survived" only seemed to relax a little after tall Ron blocked the view from the main stands for him.

Under Professor McGonagall's direction, Professor Flitwick summoned the flock of birds once again.

Another period of chaos ensued as the second-year wizards finally found their respective opponents.

Milton suddenly whispered to Scott, "Porter's rival is Blaise Zabini."

Mrs. Zabini's son?

Milton's stepbrother?

Scott raised his binoculars and looked over.

He was a tall boy.

He had high cheekbones, dark skin, and narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes.

“Like a strange fox,” Scott said to Milton.

There were only so many people at the school, and after matching the names, Scott still had some recollection of the boy.

Among the Slytherin students, Blaise Zabini seemed to be a loner.

At that moment, Scott saw Malfoy run over to Blaise Zabini and say something to him.

Seeing Malfoy's constant provocations of Harry, Scott guessed that he probably wanted to switch opponents with Zabini.

After all, everyone knows that he had already made some harsh remarks to Harry a few days ago.

However, Zabini didn't seem to want to pay him any attention.

Malfoy spoke for a long time, but Zabini remained unmoved, not even offering a single expression.

Malfoy's expression grew increasingly grim, and he only shrank back when he realized Snape was staring at him.

Of course, he was met with Harry's merciless mockery as he left.

Soon, all the students were in their positions.

Under Professor Flitwick's direction, the second-year dueling exams began.

In an instant, spells of various colors intertwined and danced once again.

The second graders performed slightly better than the first graders, but the improvement was only slight.

Scott initially focused on Neville's fight.

After all, Neville represents the result of his attempt.

Scott will still feel a great sense of accomplishment if Neville performs well.

Coincidentally, Neville's duel opponent was one of Malfoy's henchmen.

Even Scott knew that Malfoy and his henchmen used to bully Neville at school.

Of course, Scott couldn't remember the names of his two similar-looking burly henchmen, nor could he tell them apart.

In short, Scott still hoped that Neville could redeem himself.

Wouldn't it be great if a bullied boy suddenly grew up and defeated those who bullied him?

The battle has begun.

However... Neville still seemed a bit hesitant and timid.

In Scott's view, the big guy looked menacing, but he fought recklessly and was actually easy to deal with.

However, Neville's performance at this point was somewhat subpar, but he didn't lose.

If he wants to win, it depends on whether he can muster the courage.

"Potter! Potter! Potter..."

Just then, a unified cheer erupted from the Gryffindor stands.

"Zabini! Zabini! Zabini..."

The Slytherins, not to be outdone, immediately followed suit.

Scott couldn't help but look towards where Harry and Zabini were fighting.

At this moment, both Harry and Zabini were moving around the dueling area.

Although their spells were not continuous, their dodging and movement were quite skillful.

It seems that Harry has also made progress because of the Duel Club.

Scott also participated in the Duel Club when it was first established.

Back then, Harry was still "standing still and dealing damage".

When he fights, he can be summed up in one word—reckless.

His performance now looks much better.

Indeed, combat ability must be developed through combat.

However, Harry's opponent, Zabini, also seems to be no pushover.

Zabini, being a pure-blood, knew more spells than Harry.

It's clear that he has quite a few ideas about the use and combination of spells.

Harry, however, was frequently using the Disarming Charm, only occasionally using a Stunning Charm or the Petrifying Charm.

However, perhaps due to his natural talent, Harry used the Disarming Charm exceptionally well.

Scott believed he used it better than many older students.

The fight between the two intensified.

One person uses a relatively wide range of methods to cope, while the other uses a superior disarmament mantra to withstand the pressure.

The clash between the two different fighting styles is quite interesting.

Scott watched with great interest.

He has shifted his focus, only occasionally glancing at Neville's duel on the other side.

Harry waved his wand again, but Zabini was prepared.

A beam of red light, characteristic of the Disarming Charm, grazed past him.

At the same time, his wand was already pointing at Harry.

Harry rolled on the lawn, dodging his opponent's attack.

As they exchanged blows, the battle between the two became increasingly intense.

Scott then looked to the other side.

At this moment, Neville's performance suddenly caught Scott's eye.

He first cast an expansion spell, causing the grass under his opponent's feet to grow wildly, instantly disrupting his opponent's balance.

He then seized the opportunity to end the duel with a Stunning Spell.

As time went by, more and more second-year wizards began to leave the scene.
