198 Response and Praise

After abandoning the teaching method of dueling lessons, the Prewett brothers adopted the performance teaching method used at the opening banquet.

Among the five [outstanding] students who were called out, except for Remus, several others knew something about Karan's true magical talent.

Especially James and Sirius, they were particularly impressed by this.Although the scars had been completely healed long ago, they would not forget the two rocks that hit them hard.

This can be regarded as the first time that the two experienced such a disastrous setback.

Remus glanced around. Gideon was making some preparations with his back to the students. Fabian took out a bunch of bottles and jars from his witch robe and assisted Gideon.

"Since when did you start paying so much attention to Sangster?"

Taking advantage of the time when no one was paying attention, he asked the two of them in a low voice.

"Of course, since I thought I wanted to defeat him." James replied in a muffled voice.

Although Karan's magic talent is much higher than his, James will not be convinced so easily.

"It should be said, it's us." Sirius' expression gradually became serious.

Their answers were a little vague, but neither of them explained anything more.

Although James and Sirius were required to keep secret what happened in the Forbidden Forest, even when they first faced the professor, they did not tell the story about the stone. They just used the excuse that they accidentally encountered it on the road. , only then did a bulging scar appear on his cheek.

The pride in their hearts prevents them from doing things like snitching, and they don't need to seek justice.

In fact, after experiencing such a setback for the first time in their lives, the two of them had experienced many changes in their minds, and they had communicated several times using a double-sided mirror during the holidays.

Especially the indifferent attitude shown by Karan from beginning to end, coupled with the fact that he mentioned James' mother twice, made James think a lot.

For example, they are the only ones who have been really provoking.

The most critical reason why James was able to think of this was because of his mother, Euphemia Potter.

Although James is ignorant and arrogant many times after being doted on, he certainly does not treat everyone like this.

Doting means liking, James' parents cherish this hard-won child extremely, and James certainly has no reason to hate them.

Karan mentioned Euphemia twice, especially the second time in such an unusual situation, which was enough to touch James' heart.

Of course, this doesn't mean James will give in.

This only fueled his inner pride.

Proud to be a Gryffindor.

On the other side, compared to several people with different thoughts, Karan acted much calmer.

But his two roommates didn't seem to think so.

Gasper had already spread out a notebook on the table, while Steve was covering his chest with his palms. He kept muttering in a low voice: "Fortunately, there is no me, fortunately there is no me..." ."

Apparently, Meadows cast quite a shadow on him.

At this time, Gideon was finally ready. He turned around, causing several students in the front row to scream.

"It's similar, isn't it?"

"Zombie" spoke, and he didn't know what he had used. The exposed skin suddenly turned gray, but fortunately there was no rotten smell coming from his body.

"We feel that this is just a performance, there is no need to make it too real." Fabian explained on the sidelines.

"So, which one of you comes first?"

Fabian turned to look at the five students. "Zombie" Gideon also looked at them with penetrating eyes. He had already started to perform.

"I'll come first."

Unexpectedly, Karan stood up first before anyone spoke. He ran to the podium without even giving others a chance to move.

"Wise choice." Steve pretended to be serious and whispered: "The first one is always better than the last one."

Many Hufflepuff students nearby nodded in agreement. After all, Karan was the last one to be used as a demonstration last year, and ended up being hospitalized directly.

Lily blinked. Although she had heard Karan talk about this matter, she was not deeply impressed by the sequence.While she was wondering whether she should go up second, she looked carefully at the direction of the podium.

"Oh, very well, Mr. Sangster."

"Zombie" Gideon naturally recognized Karan, and he showed a smile that he thought was kind, but he seemed to have forgotten that he still had the zombie makeup, which made him look even more terrifying.

"Next, let's try the first coping method first."

Gideon continued: "That is the simplest way to deal with it. I will rush directly towards you, and you have to find a way to stop me, or you can fight me back."

"Don't worry you will hurt me, Fabian will be watching."

Fabian retreated behind the podium. He raised the wand in his hand and shook it left and right twice to indicate that he was ready.

Karan nodded silently, standing on one side of the classroom and Gideon on the other.

"Are you ready?" Fabian asked Karan.

Karan took out his ash wand and was about to nod in reply, but Gideon suddenly roared and rushed towards him. This was obviously not a prearranged plot.

Under the fake makeup effect, Gideon now looked like a real zombie, which caused many students to scream again.Steve trembled nervously, while Guspard stared at Karan intently, recording his reaction in detail in his notes.

Karan was also "shocked". The "zombie" was not running very slowly, and the distance between the left and right sides of the classroom was not long. When he came to his senses, the "zombie" had already run away. The distance would be right in front of him in a few seconds.

"There are many obstacles!"

Finally, a magic spell was shot from the tip of the ash wand and hit the "zombie", finally successfully blocking it.

“Nice response!”

After being cast off by Fabian, Gideon explained the reason why he did so: "The dark creatures will not wait until the wizards take out their wands before attacking. Remember, we need to be vigilant at all times!"

"You did well, Mr. Sangster!"

He patted Callan's shoulder affectionately and said loudly: "Five points for Hufflepuff!"

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, Gideon blinked at Karan inexplicably.

"Besides, I think Dorcas is right."

His tone was filled with unabashed praise.

"You are indeed an [excellent] wizard, Mr. Sangster."
