"Disarm you!"
"Faint to the ground!"
George seized the opportunity when two seventh-grade wizards were attacking each other, and directly approached them with his speed advantage, casting magic against their backs with his wand. Fortunately, he won this round.
To be honest, if it wasn't for his physical advantage, based on their magical prowess and combat skills in magic, he was actually not a match for the two seventh-grade wizards.
However, this battle also gave him many new insights into magical duels in the Harry Potter world.
Especially some magical techniques used by the two seventh-grade wizards during their fight, which indeed benefited him greatly.
"George helped maintain order and showed excellent dueling skills. Although they still need improvement compared to mine, they're quite good. Add twenty points!"
Lohat rushed forward and hugged George, causing Snape's slightly slower step to raise his eyebrows. However, seeing that the other party had given George extra points, he didn't say much, just turned and walked to the center of the stage:
"Apparently, you guys can't master dueling techniques well yet. So let's do it this way: two by two, come to the stage. Professor Lohat and I will give you one-on-one guidance each, then have a duel."
"Professor Snape's suggestion is good, I'll take over and guide George."
Lohat directly pointed at George.
A cold light flashed briefly in Snape's eyes:
"George is too outstanding and won't serve as a good demonstration. I think Malfoy and Potter are quite suitable; I'll guide Malfoy, and you guide Potter."
"That can work well."
Lohat thought for a moment, Harry's reputation is not worse than George, so that's fine.
All the young wizards left the stage, leaving only Snape, Malfoy, Harry, and Lohat.
George stood below, knowing what was going to happen next, but he didn't go to stop it.
He needed the secret chamber incident to continue making a big splash, because only then would Dumbledore be temporarily suspended and leave the school, giving him the opportunity to wipe out all the dark magic in the restricted section.
Considering his current situation, the only way for him to learn dark magic like the Unforgivable Curses and the Incendiary Charm is through the restricted section.
But usually, as soon as he enters the restricted section, Dumbledore will secretly monitor him, making him too scared to risk looking at the magic books that record dark magic.
In fact, he is quite similar to Voldemort in many ways when he was young. If he shows an interest in dark magic, Dumbledore would likely be restless.
So he is also being extra careful.
Indeed, in the duel between Harry and Malfoy, because Malfoy used the Serpent Summoning Charm, Harry first revealed his inherited ability to speak Slytherin in front of the crowd, thus causing great confusion.
Most of the school believed that Harry was the heir of Slytherin, because only Slytherins could speak the language of snakes.
However, the Dueling Club still held its training sessions every night, George attending every night and engaging in magical dueling training with those seventh-grade wizards, thus improving his combat skills with wands.
Soon, it was close to Christmas, and the school officially went on vacation.
Hogwarts' Christmas holiday lasted over two weeks. After bidding farewell to the professors and classmates, George picked up his suitcase along with his pet Peaches, and boarded the Hogwarts Express for the return trip.
Half a year ago when he first came to school, he was just an insignificant little wizard who only knew basic unlocking spells.
Now he was a big name in the school as the star of Slytherin, undefeated when single-handedly dueling against seventh-grade wizards in magic.
That was without using any supernatural abilities; if he were to use his superpowers in conjunction, his strength would be even greater.
After all, his supernatural ability has undergone significant improvement compared to when he first started school. He can now easily control hundreds of pounds of objects.
In the evening, as the sky had not completely darkened yet, George stepped out of King's Cross Station.
Unlike the other young wizards whose parents were there to pick them up, George, as an orphan, had to return to his home in the Leaky Cauldron alone.
This time, when he returned to the Leaky Cauldron for Christmas, he didn't inform Tonks, so Tonks wouldn't be able to come to get him in her enchanted car like she did last time.
Affection, such as this, should not be easily expended on small matters. Even the best of relationships will gradually drift apart if always worn down in this way.
"Knight Bus!"
Standing by the side of the road, George raised his wand in the air and waved it loudly.
Within less than a minute, with a thunderous roar, a purple three-story bus appeared in front of George.
With a cat owl as large as Peaches, it's not very convenient to take the subway or a taxi, and he's not yet mastered the Disapparition Charm, nor can he fly openly.
Therefore, he chose the commonly used magical public transportation tool in the wizarding world of Britain - the Knight Bus.
The Knight Bus is a magical public transportation tool specially designed by the Ministry of Magic to accommodate young wizards or those too weak to use the Disapparition Charm.
Inspired by muggle buses, after magical modification, it is very fast and can take you anywhere within Britain.
It was first introduced to the public in 1865 and has been highly praised by wizards.
"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, an emergency transportation tool for wizards in distress."
Simply extend your wand-hand, step onto the bus, and we can take you anywhere you wish to go.
My name is Stan Shunpaker, and I am your conductor for tonight...
A young wizard wearing a purple uniform jumped out of the bus and addressed George.
George curiously glanced at the magical bus and then got on, carrying his luggage:
"Hello, Mr. Shunpaker, please go to the Shacklebar!"
"Seven silver sickles, ten for a chocolate bar, eleven for a hot water bottle and a toothbrush of your choice."
The sales wizard followed quickly onto the bus.
"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"My name is George. Here are seven silver sickles."
George placed his luggage on a bed and took out seven silver sickles.
The interior of the Knight Bus is different from an ordinary bus. Instead of individual seats, there are bed frames that are beds, with each bedside table lit by a magical candle.
Wizards who ride on the bus can go to sleep directly on the beds, and wake up when they reach their destination.
"George, that name sounds so familiar. You also look familiar."
Upon hearing this, the sales wizard was taken aback for a moment before quickly flipping through some old newspapers in a waste bin next to him and pulling out a one-month-old newspaper.
He looked at the newspaper and then at George, his eyes widening in surprise and exclaiming:
"Oh, so you're the magical Quidditch genius George who's a millennium rarity!"
"Apparently, I'm also somewhat famous in the wizarding world."
George nodded and smiled, not denying it.
The sales wizard, who was obviously also a Quidditch fan, became much friendlier upon discovering George's identity, and began to chat with him very readily.
That's the effect of being a celebrity. Even if they don't know each other, people will immediately have a hidden positive bias towards each other upon first meeting.
"Let's go, Ernie."
The sales wizard greeted the driver, and the Knight Bus roared to life, shooting off at a super-high speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, as if entering another dimension.
The lampposts, mailboxes, and trash cans that were in front of the bus automatically jumped aside as the car passed by. They then returned to their original positions after the bus had gone.
