Chapter 182 A Critical Moment



“Ding, ding, ding”

There was a knock on the door. A moment later, Professor Quirrell opened the door and stuck his head out. Seeing Harry and the other two standing in front of the door, Professor Quirrell showed a look of "surprise".

"Oh, ha... Harry, are you looking for... for me?"

Professor Quirrell asked curiously.

Harry said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Professor Quirrell, I want to trouble you with something. Is it convenient for you now?"

Seeing this, Professor Quirrell quickly made way for Harry and stammered, "Of... Of course! Please come in!"

When Harry walked into Professor Quirrell's office, Hermione and Ron greeted Professor Quirrell with a wry smile on their faces, and then followed Harry into the office.

However, what the three people who walked into the office did not notice was that Professor Quirrell, who was closing the door behind them, had a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

But when Professor Quirrell closed the door and walked into the room, he smiled at Harry and the other two again and asked, "Harry, why did you three come to see me?"

At this time, Harry and the other two were unable to open their eyes because of the strange smell in Professor Quirrell's office. However, when Harry heard Professor Quirrell's question, he quickly said:

"It's like this, Professor Quirrell. A friend of mine joked with me about having a wizard duel. However, I don't know how a wizard duel is conducted, and...what magic to use!"

Harry deliberately concealed Draco's name, and even just said that the two were joking, because he was afraid that Professor Quirrell would continue to ask questions and cause Draco to be punished.

Professor Quirrell didn't seem to want to know the whole story. After Harry finished his narration, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Oh, my God, Harry, you are so young, and you are going to be involved in wizard duels? It's really... really surprising, but it's also a very normal thing for you, isn't it!"

Having said that, Professor Quirrell paused, then asked:

"Harry, did anyone else know that you three were coming to my place?"

Hearing Professor Quirrell's question, Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, then slowly shook their heads.

Seeing this, Professor Quirrell's smile became even brighter, and he said, "Oh! This is such an honor! Since no one knows, I feel relieved!"

Seeing Harry and the others frowning, seemingly puzzled, Professor Quirrell went on to explain: "It's like this, Harry, wizard duels are not something you should be exposed to at your grade. If others knew that you came to me to ask about this, as a professor, I would definitely not be able to teach you!"

"But if no one knows that you are here to ask for advice, then I can teach you a few tricks in a private capacity!"

Hearing what Quirrell said, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all smiled, and Harry quickly said:

"Don't worry, Professor Quirrell. I'm sure no one knows we came to your place, and we will definitely not tell anyone else afterwards!"

Afterwards, Professor Quirrell briefly introduced the rules of the duel to Harry, then turned around and walked to the table beside him. At this time, a magic wand was quietly placed on the table. Professor Quirrell, with his back to Harry and the other two, gradually became indifferent and said, "Harry, in a wizard duel, the spells used are different depending on the purpose. In many cases, wizard duels are about life and death, so wizards often choose the simplest way to completely deprive the opponent of their combat effectiveness, such as... the Killing Curse!"

When he said this, Professor Quirrell had already placed his hand on the wand.

At the same time, Harry suddenly felt a burning pain in the scar on his forehead, which forced him to cover his forehead with one hand and hold Ron's shoulder with the other hand. He almost fell down, but he still let out a cry of pain.

Ron quickly supported Harry, and Hermione also hurried to the other side of Harry and asked nervously: "Harry! Harry, what's wrong with you?!"

At this time, Ron and Hermione, who were busy caring about Harry, seemed not to notice that behind them, Professor Quirrell had turned around with his wand in his hand and was staring at Harry coldly.

On the other side, Draco was squatting in the corner of the Room of Requirement with a frustrated look on his face, pouting and looking unhappy.

Wentworth came over, patted Draco on the shoulder and said:

"What's wrong, Draco? Are you still angry? I told you that I made a mistake just now. Who could have thought that you were so vulnerable? One disarming spell can knock you out! I will control myself next time and release less magic power!"

Although Wentworth said this, he secretly laughed in his heart:

Draco Malfoy, you brought this upon yourself! How dare you plot against me last year? Do you think the Golden Snitch is so easy to get? ! Just when Wentworth was feeling smug, he saw Draco, who was silent, with tears in his eyes, which scared Wentworth.

Wentworth quickly took out the wand in his arms, pointed at Draco and said: "I'm warning you! Hold it back! If you dare to cry, don't blame me for being rude to you! I don't like to coax children!"

Seeing that Wentworth's wand was about to reach his nose, Draco took a deep breath and held back the tears that were about to flow.

Upon seeing this, Wentworth retracted his wand and said to Draco, "Draco, do you really need to cry? It was just a blow, and no one else saw it! If you can even cry about this, you will really bring shame to the Malfoy family!"

"Last year, I was in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, in front of all the Hufflepuff and Slytherin freshmen, and was knocked away by Cassandra with a spell! I didn't say anything at the time!"

When Draco heard Wentworth telling his story for the first time, he was immediately excited and asked:

"You were knocked away by Cassandra's spell? Senior Cassandra is so strong! Then, did you receive any punishment from the professor?"

Wentworth pondered for a moment before he slowly said, "I remember that Professor Ilona, ​​who taught the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at the time, gave Hufflepuff an extra 20 points."
