The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

In the end, only Harry and Zabini remained on the field, their duel still undecided.

Harry was breathing heavily.

His clothes were covered in grass clippings, and he had made himself look quite disheveled from crawling and tumbling around.

Zabini looks much better than Harry.

Although he was already panting, at least his clothes were still clean.

Scott noticed that Harry hadn't cast a spell in a long time.

He seemed to have exhausted his magic and physical strength, and was only able to stumble and dodge his opponent's attacks by relying on his stubborn will.

Of course, Zabini's condition wasn't much better.

His attack frequency has decreased significantly.

This is also why Harry has been able to persevere.

At this moment, the cheers from both the Gryffindor and Slytherin stands had ceased, and everyone was quietly watching this difficult duel.

However, not many people are optimistic about Harry.

After all, if he was truly too exhausted to cast a spell, it would mean he had already lost.

But at that moment, Harry suddenly took a step forward and rushed forward.

Zabini thought Harry wanted to fight him hand-to-hand, so he quickly dodged away with a look of disgust.

But at that moment, Harry waved his wand.

A faint red light struck Zabini, causing his wand to fly out of his hand.

Harry won.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the Gryffindor stands.

Meanwhile, the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were also applauding.

“Pretty cunning, Potter,” Eddie exclaimed. “You fooled Zabini by pretending you couldn’t cast spells anymore!”

Scott patted him on the shoulder, reminding him, "Next up is third grade, it's your turn."

Chapter 218 Fourth Grade, Scott Makes His Appearance

On the Quidditch pitch, the duels became more exciting after the third-year wizards took to the field.

Generally, by the third grade, young wizards enter a period of rapid growth.

Young wizards who enter this period will see significant progress in both their spell mastery and their physical abilities.

Scott, Roger, and Milton were all watching Eddie's performance in the duel.

Eddie's rival is a Hufflepuff boy.

Once the duel began, the differences between the two sides became obvious.

Hufflepuff Boys seem too honest, even behaving very uprightly during duels.

In this way, all his responses were traceable.

Eddie, however, was far more cunning than his opponent.

That kid's a liar, he even uses fake moves.

For example, he might pretend to shout "armor protects you," but he doesn't actually know the Iron Armor Spell.

Because the magical barrier formed by the Ironclad Curse was transparent and invisible, the other party actually believed it to be true.

For example, shouting a spell but not waving the wand correctly.

While the opponent tries to dodge, whisper the incantation and wave the wand correctly.

"That kid!" Roger couldn't help but laugh as he watched Eddie's behavior. "He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

Scott nodded.

This is called bullying an honest person.

In Scott's view, when it comes to sheer strength, Eddie and his rivals are actually about the same.

But now the Hufflepuff boy is being completely overwhelmed by Eddie's endless tricks.

The outcome of this duel is no longer in doubt.

Scott looked at the Hufflepuff boy with some sympathy.

Hopefully, this child will realize the wickedness of human nature after this duel.

Before long, the duels among the third-year wizards were all over.

This time, there was no situation like that between Harry and Zabini, where they were evenly matched and struggled for a long time.

"Is it finally our turn?"

As Eddie and the others walked back, Roger had already stood up impatiently.

“Fourth grade! Fourth grade students!” Professor McGonagall’s voice rang out.

Scott and his team came down from the stands and onto the field.

The students were still divided into four distinct groups according to their college.

Fred and George were standing in the Gryffindor line, giving Scott and Roger provocative looks.

"The next step is still random grouping!"

Professor Flitwick, standing in front of everyone, waved his wand.

"Flocks of birds!"

Colorful birds flew up to the students' heads again, chirping incessantly.

Scott raised his hand and casually grabbed a small bird.

He looked down and saw that it was blue.

Scott smiled, walked to a secluded spot, took out his wand, and raised it, from which a blue orb of light shot out.

When other students saw this, they immediately began to imitate it.

Before long, some students on the field were holding up different colored orbs of light with their wands.

Those students who caught the two mixed colors still had to rely on shouting to find their opponents.

At that moment, Scott's opponent arrived in front of him.

Hello, Higgs.

Scott released the little blue bird in his hand, lowered his wand, and politely greeted his opponent.

Terence Higgs, the former Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team who was replaced by Malfoy.

"Hello, Trolop."

Higgs looked a little nervous at this point, but still responded politely to Scott.

Scott smiled at him again in a friendly manner.

"I didn't expect to be your opponent. My luck is really not good." Higgs said in a self-deprecating tone, "It seems I won't get a good result in this duel exam."

His statement is understandable, given Scott's impressive track record.

He defeated Stirner, a seventh-grader, twice at the Duel Club, and later won against a sneak attack by Stirner and four others, including Caro.

These two incidents made the Slytherins generally feel inferior in front of Scott.

After the attack, those Slytherins who disliked Scott no longer dared to provoke or provoke him directly.

Scott did not mince words in response to Higgs' self-deprecating humor.

He simply said, "Just do your best. I reckon the professors will grade you based on your performance in the duel, not on the final outcome."

"Okay... I'll do my best anyway."

Although Higgs said this, he didn't actually talk about it very enthusiastically.

Scott didn't say anything more.

He looked around.

By this time, most people had found their opponents and stood separately on their respective fields.

Roger was surprisingly paired with Fred, and the two of them were talking non-stop, seemingly engaged in a verbal battle.

Milton's opponent was Lee Jordan.

The Quidditch commentator's mouth didn't seem to stop moving, while Milton simply gave him a polite smile.

Scott shifted his gaze again.

George's rival is Kayla, Scott's classmate and Dylan's girlfriend.

This couple, who were always inseparable, were unfortunately separated.

Seeing Kayla's alarmed expression, George looked somewhat helpless.

"Prepare!"

Just then, Professor Flitwick's voice rang out.

Scott quickly looked away and turned to Higgs, who was now facing him.

"One! Two! Three! Go!"

"Armor protects the body."

"Except your weapons!"

A red beam shot from the tip of Higgs' wand, was blocked by a transparent magical barrier a step away from Scott, and was then reflected back.

Higgs quickly dodged the red light reflected in front of him and waved his wand again.

"Crushed to pieces!"

He knew he had to break down the invisible barrier in front of Scott.
