The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Having been tricked by an Ironclad Charm, Stirrner gritted her teeth and swung her wand at Scott again.

"Torn apart!"

Scott moved his feet slightly, and the Cutting Curse once again narrowly missed him.

At that moment, the cry of an eagle rang out, and a huge shadow blocked the light above Strilna's head.

The giant eagle was swooping down from above his head, its two sharp talons aimed at his head.

Faced with such danger, Stirner did not back down, but decisively swung his wand upwards.

"Reducto!"

The swooping eagle was hit by the Shattering Curse and exploded, turning into wood chips that fell in abundance.

Stryner smiled smugly, not caring at all even though he was covered in sawdust.

Scott was laughing at that moment.

Just as Stryner shattered the eagle, he cast two more transformation spells.

At this moment, two gray wolves leaped from the teachers' seats and landed steadily on the stage, blocking the two duelists.

They stared intently at Stryner, lowered their bodies slightly, and grinned to reveal their gleaming fangs.

Stryner scoffed, "Is this the kind of useless trick so-called geniuses can only pull?"

He raised his wand again. "Watch me, I'll crush your toys, and your reputation as a genius, along with them!"

“If you can do it.” Scott smiled.

Stryner shouted, "Crush to pieces!"

However, this time the gray wolf was not hit by the Shattering Curse like the eagle; it nimbly dodged it.

The two wolves separated instantly and rushed towards Stirrner from the left and right.

"Crushed to pieces!"

Stirrner, his face contorted with malice, cast another Shattering Curse.

But this time his target was Scott himself.

"Ow!"

A running gray wolf leaped high into the air, blocking the shattering spell, and itself exploded into wood chips.

The other gray wolf sped past the Ironclad Curse, ran up to Stirner, and opened its mouth to bite his leg.

At the same time, Scott also raised his wand.

"Torn apart!"

The cutting spell struck in front of Stirner, and the magical barrier that had been in place for some time shattered.

"damn it!"

Stryner dodged the gray wolf's bites in a sorry state.

"To be shattered to pieces!" he chanted with difficulty.

The second gray wolf also turned into sawdust.

However, before Stryner could even rejoice, a beam of red light struck him instantly.

Stryner froze, his wand flying out of his hand and soaring high into the air.

Cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

“You’ve been careless, Mr. Strilner.”

Scott reached out and caught the wand, then smiled at Stryner.

"Perhaps you think I only know Transfiguration magic?"

After saying that, he again ignored Stryner's reaction and turned to smile at Snape in the audience.

"The duel is over, Professor."

He brandished the Stirrner wand in his hand.

"I don't know if I can be considered a genius."

He said with a smile.

“But I can say for sure that Mr. Stryner does not count.”

Chapter 086 Another Battle! Duel Club

After Scott finished speaking, thunderous applause immediately filled the auditorium.

The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuff students applauded silently, while the Gryffindors screamed.

Only the Slytherins stared at him with grim faces and hostile eyes.

"Give me!"

Just then, Stryner suddenly rushed in front of Scott and snatched his wand.

His actions, of course, did not escape Scott's notice.

Scott merely frowned and let him take the wand back.

The duel was over, and he decided to be a gracious victor.

"Keep smug, because you beat me once with your little trick!"

Stryner leaned closer to him and whispered.

He stared intently at Scott, his eyes filled with undisguised rage.

"This is the highlight of your pathetic life, you mudblood!"

Stryner seemed to be driven by violent emotions, and he yelled the last word.

At that moment, the auditorium fell into complete silence, and everyone stared at Stryner in shock.

Scott narrowed his eyes, and his cloak suddenly billowed high as if blown by a gale.

Before Stryner could react, the cloak transformed into a flowing black mass once more, lunging out and binding Stryner securely.

"Uh...uuuu..."

Stryner struggled, but lost his balance and fell to the ground.

His mouth was also tightly bound, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed.

Scott's wand moved, and the cloak binding Stirner transformed back into a metallic material.

"Well……"

Stryner stared intently at Scott, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

But he could only curl up on the ground like a dead worm, unable to move.

Meanwhile, Scott noticed the undercurrents swirling within the auditorium.

The Slytherin students all seemed eager to rush forward and rescue Stryner.

But at that moment, the students from the other three colleges moved in perfect unison.

They blocked the Slytherins' path.

Scott turned to look at Snape.

“Did you hear that, Professor?” he said. “Strilner said something quite remarkable.”

Snape's expression was terrifying; his already empty eyes looked as if they were frozen solid.

“I heard you,” he said in a flat tone.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Scott looked down at Stryner indifferently.

“I think I know better than you how to be a professor and how to handle students’ questions.”

Snape stepped onto the stage, casually flicked his wand, and cast a Restoration Charm.

The metal binding Stirrner was transformed back into cloth.

Stryner immediately struggled to sit up and roughly threw Scott's cloak to the ground.

He stood up and was about to rush towards Scott, but Snape stopped him.

"professor……"

Stryner stared at Snape with bloodshot eyes.

“Shut up, Stirrner,” Snape said coldly.

But Stryner was beyond furious.

"I want to fight this kid again!" he said through gritted teeth. "I was careless just now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted in the auditorium.

“What do you think, Mr. Trollope?” Snape turned the question to Scott.

Scott waved his wand, causing his cloak to flutter and shake, before reaching out to lift it and drape it over his shoulders.

He understood what Snape was up to.

Snape had pretty much figured him out and knew that he had an advantage over Stirner, who was in seventh year, in a duel.

He wanted to give Scott a chance to teach Stryner a lesson himself.

In other words, he would rather Stryner be severely punished by Scott than have Slytherin lose points.

This person has an incredibly strong desire to uphold Slytherin's honor.

He certainly wouldn't like Stryner much—if Stryner were to lose to Scott again, his dignity would be completely lost.

Snape simply couldn't tolerate Slytherin losing points.

“Since Mr. Stryner is not convinced,” Scott, understanding Snape’s intentions, narrowed his eyes, “I would be happy to accept his challenge again.”
