Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

Snape sneered, "Clean all bathrooms in the castle, no magic."

Dumbledore said: "Let them help Hagrid explore the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid recently reported to me that there seems to be something strange in the Forbidden Forest. He needs manpower. With Eric here, I can rest assured."

Snape glanced at Dumbledore, reluctantly nodding in agreement.

Eric also had no objection to the decision.

Dumbledore said with a smile: "That's it, I hope you can accept it, Eric."

Dumbledore said so, Eric didn't want to accept it, he could only accept it, spread his hands and smiled, nodded and left, and the two watched Eric leave.

After a long time, when Eric's figure completely disappeared, Dumbledore said, "Show me."

Snape reached out and pulled up the left cuff, exposing the forearm of his left hand, where there was a red skull, which was a symbol unique to Death Eaters - the Dark Mark.

At this time, around the Dark Mark, a glass-like crack wound extending to the elbow suddenly appeared, just looking at it was extremely painful.

Dumbledore said in surprise: "This is..."

Sweat broke out on Snape's forehead, and he fought back the pain: "Your good student Eric did it. During the duel just now, I was accidentally hit by his curse."

This is a wound caused purely by a magical breakthrough.

Dumbledore stared blankly at Snape's hand, as if fascinated.

Chapter 104 Ambush

The secret conversation between Dumbledore and Snape didn't affect anyone. On the other side, after Eric left, he didn't return to the auditorium immediately. Instead, he chose another direction and walked along the spiral staircase to the school doctor's office in the main tower of the castle. .

Walking to the second floor, Eric turned leisurely in front of a portrait of a wizard wearing a pointed hat, lifted the portrait, and opened a secret and narrow secret passage.

This secret passage is not long, and it can quickly reach the location of the school infirmary. It was discovered by Eric from the Marauder's map.

As soon as he got out of the secret passage, Eric heard a scream from the end of the corridor, and then the sound of objects falling to the ground.

Eric waited for a few seconds, and there was a sound of chaotic footsteps, but he didn't see anyone passing by.

"Harry!" Eric said suddenly.

A figure suddenly appeared from the air, it was Harry Ron and Hermione wearing the Invisibility Cloak.

Harry said excitedly: "Eric, we succeeded! One of us gave Malfoy a hard blow."

Hermione held her forehead, this was really messy.

The plan was provided by Eric, relayed by Hermione, and then carried out by Harry and Ron.

While in the auditorium, Eric noticed that Malfoy wanted to walk, so he called Hermione and asked her and Harry to wear the invisibility cloak and quickly go through the secret passage to the door of the school doctor's office to ambush.

No one else, just stare at Malfoy, strike as soon as he arrives.

Harry asked, "Eric, how did you know Malfoy would pass this way?"

Eric said: "Malfoy was beaten up by you in front of everyone just now, he lost face, it didn't do him any good, and with the pain in his body, he will definitely choose a path that won't be seen by so many people to the school infirmary .During this time, almost everyone in Gryffindor has gone to the Dueling Club, so there is a high probability that he will go this way."

There are two roads leading to the school infirmary, starting from the auditorium, and one is relatively close, directly passing through the spiral staircase of the main tower to reach the school infirmary.

The other one takes a long detour and passes through the Gryffindor Tower, which is equivalent to making a big circle.

It's self-evident which way a man with such a good face like Malfoy will go.

The secret passage that Eric and the others took happened to connect the spiral staircase with the entrance of the school infirmary, which was equivalent to saving the time of taking a long detour.

Harry and the others entered the secret passage, so they could get the invisibility cloak in the dormitory before Malfoy, and then squatted in ambush at the door of the school doctor's room in advance.

Hermione shook her head and said, "Only this time, Harry, there will be no next time."

Harry was dissatisfied: "Hermione, you were also very excited just now."

Hermione said, "Then...that's because the object is Malfoy."

Eric smiled. Hermione had an adventurous spirit in her heart, and she always advocated obeying the rules. In fact, when it came to the critical moment, she violated no fewer school rules than others.

When being led by others, the adventurous factor in Hermione's heart will be stimulated, and then it will be out of control.

Especially in this kind of adventure with friends, if someone else knows that Harry can't be stopped, they may choose to tell the professor, or stand by with a cold eye, but Hermione is different. If they can't stop their friends, Hermione will choose to go with them action.

Eric had an idea and told Hermione this revenge plan against Malfoy. Hermione would not refuse. On the contrary, because she also had a grudge against Malfoy, she would help Harry perfect the plan and supervise what Harry did not do. Too much.

Had Hermione not followed, Harry and Ron had the audacity to beat Malfoy to the point where he couldn't take care of himself.

"By the way, Ron, Professor Dumbledore informed me just now that the confinement of the two of us will still be implemented. After Christmas, we will go to explore the Forbidden Forest." Eric said.

"Oh no." Ron's face was ashen.

Chapter 105 Coincidence?

After making Malfoy suffer, none of Eric and others took care of him, and Eric didn't ask Harry what kind of spell they used on Malfoy.

As long as you don't get caught.

Ron was disqualified, Harry and Hermione returned to the Great Hall to continue participating in the Duel Club competition, and Eric had nothing to do, wandering around.

Geniuses always get favors.

By virtue of confronting Snape head-on, Eric received obviously different treatment from Ron.

Ron was directly disqualified from the competition, but Eric was well known after this battle, and no one proposed to disqualify Eric.

Even Ron had no problem with the punishment.

Flushed with excitement, Rita Skeeter frantically snapped photos of Eric, quill at full capacity.

After the duel between Eric and Snape, it was obvious that the people still in the auditorium were not thinking about their opponents.

The contestants in the auditorium were all junior students, who were also Eric's direct competitors.

Witnessing Eric's performance with their own eyes, many people were disheartened and felt that it was impossible to get the top three positions, so they voluntarily abstained and quit the competition.

Eric was able to fight back and forth with the professors, some of whom couldn't even pronounce the spell clearly.

This gap is really too big, and most of the students who are still in the field are third and fourth grade students.

After Harry, Hermione's brooch also started to heat up, and her assigned opponent was a Gryffindor second-year girl.

Hermione was no problem dealing with such an opponent, easily defeated him and advanced to the next round.

Except for Harry and the others, Fred and the others are all in the senior group, and the competition venue is the Quidditch pitch.

Eric went out for a walk, but nothing happened.

Fred and the others were not bad at first, but they also participated in Eric's pre-game magic cram school. Their overall strength was much higher than that of their peers. As long as they didn't draw each other and it turned into a civil war, promotion would not be a problem.

Among the acquaintances, the one who surprised Eric the most was Qiu Zhang.

"Bye? Three consecutive rounds?" Eric was startled.

Qiu Zhang nodded helplessly: "I don't know what's going on, everyone around me has experienced at least two rounds of competition, but I still have a bye."

What Ouhuang?This luck is too good.

Eric was speechless, because his duel with Snape triggered a wave of abstentions, and now there are only eighteen people left in the junior group, and these eighteen people will compete for the final six spots left for the junior group.

That is to say, Cho Chang didn't have to do anything, and walked one step away from the finals.

Qiu Zhang spread her hands, she really wanted to play, but luck didn't allow it.

Qiu Zhang asked, "Why did you fight with Snape just now?"

She was far away when the incident happened and didn't know what was going on.

Eric said casually, "Because of Malfoy."

"What?" Qiu Zhang turned pale with shock, and began to imagine some unknown plots in his mind. Snape would not hesitate to fight Eric because of Malfoy, so what is the relationship between Malfoy and Snape?Why is he in such a hurry?There was no precedent for Snape to care so much about a person...

Looking at Qiu Zhang's expression, Eric knew that she was overthinking, and hurriedly said: "It's not what you think."

Qiu Zhang remained unmoved, nodded perfunctorily and left, continuing to wait for the notification.

After that, rumors began to spread in Hogwarts Castle that Malfoy was Snape's illegitimate son. Snape was so angry that he deducted many points from those who spread the rumors.

……

The competition in the senior group is more intense and more exciting.

Many students in the senior group are about to graduate and are facing employment problems. It is quite normal to have a mentality of wanting to fight for a place in the presence of reporters.

A lot of people wish their good shots were recorded by Rita Skeeter.

Not everyone resists being famous.

In this case, the competition in the senior group is extremely fierce, and the possibility of accidents greatly increases.

The biggest surprise came in the afternoon when Fred, one of the twins, was eliminated from the competition.

Eric got the news, and when he arrived at Fred's playing field, the game was over.

Cedric and Wood, and George surrounded Fred.

Fred looked a little miserable, with a slight fracture in one leg, and he might have to lie in the school infirmary for a while.

Eric asked: "What's going on? Did you meet your opponent?"

Fred's strength is considered strong among students.

He and George's brains are already flexible. Although their grades are not very good, they can often achieve surprising results when used in duels.

In addition, the two of them have been tutored by Eric, and their strength has improved to a higher level. There are not many people who are capable of defeating them.

That is to say, Cedric, an academy figure like him, can surely win against Fred.

But how many Cedric?

Fred grinned: "No, I was careless."

George gloated next to him: "He wanted to test our products in a duel, and was caught by his opponent."

Cedric was curious: "What product?"

George took out a strange-shaped pointed hat: "The first version of the anti-spell hat has a simple protective spell on it. According to our assumption, it should be able to resist some evil spells."

Cedric asked: "It didn't block it?"

"No, it's blocked." Fred said, "But our protection range is too narrow. Now we can only protect the area above the shoulders."
