But if it is not used, it becomes stalemate again, forming an endless loop.

Furthermore, the same problem remained, even if Snape used more powerful offensive methods, he might not be able to secure a victory.

Who knows what else Eric is hiding?

Snape didn't try his best, and at the same time, he could see that Eric didn't do the same.

They are not in an independent space, there are many spectators around, and the whole auditorium is full of people.

Snape estimated that Eric was also very distressed by this combat environment, and many spells could not be used.

He was wrong about this, and Eric was immersed in the excitement brought about by the improvement in spell proficiency.

The stalemate continued for a while, Eric continued to attack, while trying to make eye contact with Snape: How about I give you a step down?

I always feel a little bit sorry for practicing like this.

Snape understood it, but he pretended not to see it. He couldn't keep that face away, turned around and cast another spell, which was instantly blocked by Eric's armor spell.

Snape was taken aback, Eric used the spell much faster than before.

At the critical moment, Dumbledore came to the rescue.

After Dumbledore presided over the opening, he went to work on his own affairs, and was shocked when he received Colin's report.

Eric and Snape fighting?

He knew that Eric was lawless, and Dumbledore was not surprised to do anything, but how could Snape take Eric's fault?

Dumbledore couldn't figure it out, fearing that the two would tear down the auditorium, he hurried to the scene.

Just in time for Snape to hit Eric with a spell, it was so powerful that Eric used Transfiguration to pull up a stone wall to block it.

"Enough!" Dumbledore shouted.

Eric and Snape, ready to go, stopped immediately when they heard the voice, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Eric: It's okay, it's finally here.

If the fight continues, it is estimated that the auditorium will really be demolished.

Snape: Why did you come here?Why did you go early?

Chapter 103 Scars

Dumbledore approached, saw Snape and Eric staring at each other, and asked, "What's going on?"

Eric smiled and said, "I suddenly had some insight into duels, and wanted to ask Professor Snape for advice, so that's it. I'm sorry, Professor, for causing trouble to everyone."

Eric played for a long time, his spell proficiency improved, and he didn't suffer any disadvantages, so he was really embarrassed to speak ill of Snape in front of Dumbledore.

Professor Snape, what a great man.

He knew that Dumbledore would not embarrass Snape for such a trivial matter, and it was useless for Eric to bring it up, except for disgusting Snape, it had no effect.

As Snape's former Death Eater and double agent, it is absolutely impossible for Dumbledore to keep Snape away from his sight.

Not to mention getting Snape kicked out of school or out of his job.

Like the way Dumbledore did with Eric.

The most dangerous person must stay by his side.

So Eric might as well not say anything.

As for college grades?Eric never cared about that.

Today's incident was caused by Malfoy. Eric must not have a good impression of Malfoy, but now that Dumbledore is here, there is no need to pester Malfoy, and there will be plenty of time to deal with him in the future.

Eric glanced at Malfoy, and Malfoy was frightened and avoided Eric's eyes.

Eric can draw with Snape, isn't it easy to deal with him?

Malfoy regretted it now, why did he provoke Eric, the evil star.

He also didn't expect that even Snape couldn't take Eric down.

Feeling guilty, Malfoy slowly moved outside and slipped out of the crowd.

Eric turned around and called Hermione over, and whispered something in his ear. Hermione looked surprised and glanced at Eric. Eric nodded, and Hermione hesitated to go back into the crowd.

Dumbledore saw Eric running the train with his mouth full, and turned to look at Snape.

Snape was expressionless: "As Clapton said, he has some doubts about dueling, and I happened to be there, so I will teach him personally."

shit.

Eric and Dumbledore looked at Snape in amazement at the same time.

Eric didn't expect Snape to have such a tacit understanding with him.

Dumbledore didn't expect that Snape, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would talk nonsense.

Snape had a fever on his face, but fortunately he had a fair complexion and couldn't tell.

As a professor, he had personally taught a student a lesson, and he hadn't beaten him before. No matter how shameless Snape was, it was impossible for him to publicize this matter.

Now Eric gave the steps, and he took advantage of the situation.

Harry said anxiously beside him, "It's obviously Malfoy first..."

Hermione covered Harry's mouth halfway through his speech.

Dumbledore and everyone around looked over, and Hermione smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, he just got promoted, so happy."

Hermione dragged Harry away, taking Ron with her.

Hermione was smart enough to know that neither Eric nor Snape wanted to make a big deal out of it.

Although the duel was provoked by Snape, Snape obviously didn't want to continue entanglement. It would be great if this matter could be resolved perfectly.

Hermione is more considerate, unlike Harry who likes to be quick for a while.

Dumbledore looked at Eric to the left, and Snape to the right. The expressions and actions of the two were surprisingly consistent, and Dumbledore looked into Dumbledore's eyes calmly.

Eric opened the soul enchantment without any fear.

With Occlumency added, Snape showed his iconic sneer.

In just a few rounds, the three of them met eyes countless times.

"I see, this is also a good thing. This is the purpose of our dueling club. Hehe, it can give students a chance to exercise, popularize dueling skills, and enhance self-defense awareness." In the end, Dumbledore's expression changed, and he smiled, " Alright, the game will continue, there is no need to gather around here, Severus, Eric, you come with me."

Severus was Snape's name.

After Dumbledore took Eric and Snape away, the crowd of onlookers dispersed and began to discuss the duel between the two just now.

It took a long time for the game to restore order.

Only Colin remained at the scene in a daze, looking around for Harry.

Where is Harry?What about Harry and Hermione who were still here just now?

When they walked to a secluded place, there were only the three of them around, Dumbledore asked without changing his expression, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Eric: "So, so, so and so." Telling Ron punched Malfoy, and all the subsequent developments, but omitted the part that angered Snape.

In front of everyone just now, Eric also had to consider the impact on Hogwarts. He didn't forget that Rita Skeeter was still in the castle.

Now that the three of them are talking, there is no need to save face for anyone.

Even if he didn't say it, Dumbledore could find out through other channels.

As for what happened to Snape and Lily, the three of them were well aware of it.

But it's one thing to know, and quite another to say it publicly.

If Eric really revealed the relationship between Snape and Lily in front of anyone else, Snape would probably try to silence him in various ways.

Dumbledore glanced at Snape when he heard what had happened.

Snape sneered, and said stiffly, "They deserve it."

Dumbledore said seriously: "Next time, pay attention to your temper, Severus, abuse of power, I will report your behavior to the school board, as for the punishment, I will inform you after discussion."

Snape remained expressionless, neither objecting nor responding.

Eric was indifferent. Dumbledore and Snape were acting for him. If Eric wasn't there, the two of them must have their own way of communicating.

As long as Snape does not touch Dumbledore's bottom line, Dumbledore will not embarrass Snape.

Taking it lightly like now is purely to give Eric an explanation.

Dumbledore said: "Ron punched Malfoy. There is no problem with confinement and deduction of points. I will add back the other deducted points. Ten points for Gryffindor and ten points for Hufflepuff."

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore looked a little embarrassed, and Eric was puzzled, Harry and the Hufflepuff referee's points were added back, what about his?

Dumbledore said: "I can't cancel your confinement and deduction of points. Severus is a professor. Judging by the school rules, it was his right to decide to confine you at that time. After all, you did hurt Malfoy. Hogg Watts adopts the first on-site responsibility system. Even if I am the principal, I cannot override the professor who was on the scene to forcefully change his punishment result. As for whether his decision is fair and whether he puts Malfoy in confinement, that is another matter. a topic."

Dumbledore asked, "Severus, would you like to cancel Eric's confinement?"

Snape said, "No, I stand by my decision."

Dumbledore was helpless, while Eric was mentally prepared for it.

The powers and responsibilities of Hogwarts professors are relatively loose. The first-site responsibility system means that the first professor who discovers a conflict or dispute has the power to punish him, unless he himself renounces this power.

Snape was the first professor to discover the conflict caused by Malfoy, he dealt with Eric and Ron, and in principle, the matter was over.

Dumbledore could cancel the obviously unfair point deduction for Harry and the Hufflepuff referee, after all, they did not violate the school rules.

But for Eric and Ron, the two of them had the established fact of hurting Malfoy. Based on this, Dumbledore could not cancel their locking and deduction when Snape made the decision.

The regulations of Hogwarts and the wizarding world in this regard are quite ancient.

Hundreds of years ago, Hogwarts professors still had the power to punish students corporal punishment privately. Compared with before, it is quite advanced now.

As for what to do with Malfoy...

Eric didn't have a fluke mentality, and didn't bother to question why Snape didn't deduct points or put Malfoy in confinement for trying to hurt Colin.

How could Snape deduct points from Slytherin house?

If he could be fair and just, he wouldn't be Snape.

Seeing that Eric had no objection to the result, Dumbledore asked, "Which lockup did you originally plan to arrange for them to implement?"
