Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

"Professor, I heard that the Dueling Club had already..." Eric asked puzzled.

During Harry's second year, last year, there was one dueling club.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at that time was still a famous idiot and liar - Gilderoy Lockhart.

The Dueling Club was also established at his suggestion.

Lockhart had a good idea, trying to increase his fame by hosting a dueling club.

He is a very talented novelist, but not a very good duelist.

Of course, when the Dueling Club was held, Gilderoy Lockhart hadn't fully exposed his essence.

But this did not prevent him from being instantly killed by Snape, his demo opponent at the time.

After Lockhart left Hogwarts, the Dueling Club disbanded by default.

Unexpectedly, it is now open again.

"Oh, it's like this. After absorbing the lessons from last year, Professor Dumbledore believes that the duel club has great potential and is worthy of turning it into a Hogwarts tradition and continuing it year by year." Flitwick explained He said, "So, he asked me to continue hosting the Duel Club this year to facilitate the training of students' ability to deal with crises. After all, Black has now escaped from Azkaban."

"If students can be taught some methods of targeted defense, we think it is a good thing."

"I saw your name on the registration form."

Registration form?

Eric was expressionless, he already knew who did it.

Who else but Dumbledore?

Professor Flitwick took out his hand behind his back, holding a registration form in his hand, and handed it to Eric.

Sure enough, Eric saw his name clearly and unmistakably on it.

He was also at the front row in a fair manner.

This event is quite popular and anyone can participate.

After all, there are not many things to play in school.

And dueling is what everyone loves.

In adolescence, most people like to show off and get sought after by classmates around them.

So there are quite a lot of people signing up for the Dueling Club.

In addition to his own name, Eric also saw at least a hundred people sign up on it.

Among them are some familiar names.

Fred, George, Harry and Ron, as well as Qiu Zhang and Hermione, who usually had a lot of contact with Eric.

Overall, Gryffindor has the highest percentage of registrations.

For Gryffindor who likes to be noisy the most, such an event is definitely not to be missed.

Except for the students in fifth and seventh years who need to prepare for the exams that year, almost all students in other grades of Gryffindor College have signed up.

But Eric was pretty sure he didn't sign up.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore directly helped him write his name on it.

What on earth did Dumbledore want to do?

"Eric, what are you thinking?" Professor Flitwick asked as Eric stared at the registration form and fell silent.

Eric smiled and said, "It's okay, professor, I just didn't expect so many people to sign up."

He didn't tell the truth, nor did he refuse to participate in this event.

Since Dumbledore signed up for him, he would definitely not allow him to withdraw voluntarily.

In that case, it doesn't matter if you play around.

Flitwick smiled confidently: "That's right, there are many more people participating this year than last year. The principal asked me to find a way to increase the intensity of the competition. I decided to use a new competition system to hold this duel club. In the end, there will be For a duel champion, the principal and I have prepared corresponding rewards."

"You'll find out when the time comes, and I promise you'll have a great time."

"I'm looking forward to your performance, Eric, and I hope you can become a duel champion."

After Flitwick finished speaking, he patted Eric on the shoulder again as a sign of encouragement.

Eric was one of the most talented students he had ever seen in the field of magic, and he asked him many questions.

For this reason, Flitwick also regarded Eric more or less as his student.

Something close to a personal relationship.

Most importantly, he knew Eric's strength.

If Eric could become a duel champion, it would be a great achievement for Ravenclaw.

Eric is in first grade.

It is possible to dispel the arrogance of the other three colleges.

For this reason, Flitwick made a bet with Hufflepuff's Headmaster, Professor Sprout, and placed a heavy bet of ten Galleons.

He was also a duel champion back then, and Flitwick believed that Eric would not be worse than himself.

Flitwick gave Eric a meaningful look, and left contentedly.

……

Game day!

Quidditch is a sport that everyone enjoys in the wizarding world.

Flying broomsticks have long been a favorite form of transportation.

There are many sports that can be performed with a flying broom.

But the most famous of these is undoubtedly Quidditch.

As long as flying broomsticks are involved, it is inseparable from Quidditch.

The same is true at Hogwarts.

Every year on the Quidditch match day, almost all the teachers and students of the school go out together.

The same is true even if it is not a game of his own academy.

Of course, the relationship between the various colleges is not always good.

Apart from Slytherin, the relationship between the other three houses is a little closer.

Whenever Slytherin played against another house, the Slytherin opponent always received overwhelming support.

When there is no Slytherin game, the number of supporters for both teams will return to a wonderfully even level.

Slytherins didn't care because they won the most championships, and only Gryffindor could occasionally threaten their status.

And today's game is against Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, without Slytherin.

The other two academies that were not competing showed a clearly differentiated situation, each supporting one of the teams.

In line with the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the Slytherins naturally support Gryffindor's opponent Hufflepuff.

Hufflepuff's situation was somewhat similar to Ravenclaw's, with the exception of their captain and Seeker Cedric Diggory, the rest of the players were mediocre.

But the difference between Cedric and Cho Chang is that he is stronger than Cho Chang.

Almost one person changed a team.

Under his leadership, Hufflepuff has the potential to become a spoiler in the competition between Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Originally, Hufflepuff was as bad a team as Ravenclaw.

So angry Ravenclaw ran to support Gryffindor.

When Eric arrived at the stadium, he saw such a grand scene.

The two teams have not yet entered the field, and their respective supporters are divided into two sides.

On one side is a stand composed of red and blue intertwined, and on the other side is a base of yellow and green.

Professor McGonagall stood in the front row of the Gryffindor stands with a stern expression. He held his wand high and stretched it into the air, firing a red spark.

With a bang, sparks exploded in the air, and instantly turned into a majestic lion, covering a small half of the stadium, and opened its fangs to the opposite stand.

Hear me roar!

Chapter 77 The Lion and the Badger

In response, Hufflepuff was not to be outdone.

In Hufflepuff's phalanx, Professor Sprout, who was usually gentle and kind, also stood up, shot a spark, transformed into a badger in the air, and met Professor McGonagall's lion.

The lion roared and rushed towards the badger. Guan was not to be outdone, and fought with the lion with all his strength.

Before the match started, two huge animals began biting in the air above the court.

Many people's eyes widened, and they couldn't help applauding the academy they supported.

Eric also watched attentively, which is one of the advanced uses of Transfiguration.

Properly handled, any subject can be transfigured, including fireworks unleashed by the wizard himself.

When the two professors make a move, they are generous.

Not everyone can use ordinary fireworks spells as materials to transform such a huge animal.

Magic, experience and skill are all needed.

Even among professors, not many people can do this.

Unexpectedly, Professor Sprout, who was usually so quiet, could actually compete with Professor McGonagall in the art of transfiguration.

Sure enough, those who can become the dean are not ordinary people.

It's a pity that although Professor Sprout's level of transfiguration is far superior to that of ordinary people, he is still not as powerful as Professor McGonagall.

Professor Sprout's weakness in Transfiguration is quickly revealed after the lion and badger encounter.

At first, she was able to command her badger to barely resist the lion's attack, but after a period of time, the badger gradually couldn't keep up with the lion's rhythm.
