Chapter 190 Competition-Siege War
There was a small wild flower on the ground, but soon an underage foot trampled it down. Just when it was about to stand up again, another foot stepped on it, then a second one, and a third one. Only, the countless number.
Ma En watched from the sidelines as groups of little wizards whizzed past, expressionless.
On Christmas night, after everyone got together, except Dumbledore who stayed for a while, the others quickly dispersed.
Old Walder was so busy that he came over halfway through the banquet and left before it was over.
The Grangers were sent home by Hermione using Marne's Phoenix. She didn't really want her parents to stay in the wizarding world for a long time. She didn't care about it before. Now the situation is very special and they are easily in danger.
Although the Malfoys do not look down on Muggles as much as before, they don't really like to stay with Muggles and Muggle-borns. After dinner, they went to the floor where Miley had arranged for them to live temporarily.
After the last few people chatted with Dumbledore for a while, they all dispersed and went back to their houses to sleep.
The entire Christmas holiday was spent doing nothing. There were no new clues about the attack that day, and it was rare that Voldemort did not cause trouble at other times. Ma En was so idle that he felt like he was about to grow hairy on the last day of the holiday.
School finally started. He was excited to attend a few classes when he was caught by Professor McGonagall near the Quidditch pitch. Only then did he remember that the joint competition between the two schools had begun...
The venue has been decorated by professors from the two schools during the holidays. The competition is scheduled to start on the second Monday after Christmas and last for one month, with a total of fifteen events.
The rules require full participation, but there are still many young wizards who are unwilling to participate in such a fiercely confrontational event. In the end, the two schools only managed to gather more than 110 teams for seven years, and the rest did the logistics work.
There were also chicken thieves who came here wanting to join the Ma En trio, but after asking, they left in disappointment.
Today is the first day of the game, the siege, and Ma En appears as a lifeguard...
The so-called city is actually a temporary earthen platform. Although it is not shoddy with the blessing of transformation, it is not very strong either. The little wizard who got the lottery to defend the city looked as unhappy as if he was attending a funeral. They Not only do you have to guard against the spells that hit you, but you also have to guard against the spells that hit the city wall...
The little wizard below looked excited and used all he had learned in his life except foul spells, trying to hit some unlucky guy and knock him off, so that he could get a point.
Ma En held out the flag in his hand and called a timeout. He was not only a lifeguard, but as the non-participant closest to the battlefield, he was also an infield referee and had the right to call a timeout, especially for this first event. When all aspects are immature, his position is particularly important.
I patted the magic carpet sitting under my butt, flew to a similarly improvised rostrum in the distance, and talked about this unfair situation with Dumbledore and Ms. Maxim. The few of them had a brief chat. After that sentence, Marn asked Patrick to write a letter to Snape. As for the event, it was temporarily suspended and would restart in the afternoon. Anyway, there were two days for this project to be squandered.
During lunch, Draco, who was returning to school in the distance, arrogantly showed off how powerful he was to his new younger brothers---he was indeed quite powerful, at least for this grade, Margaery Many of the lessons given to him were over the top.The faces of a pair of good friends sitting opposite Ma En looked a little frustrated.
They were unlucky enough to be assigned to the city defense team, and Ron was even more unlucky. In order to show off his strength, he roped in his girlfriend's team. Although they were not defeated in the morning, they were beaten to a black and swollen face, which made him feel very humiliated. .
Harry was better. His girlfriend was a grade above him and they were not in the same class. However, Harry himself was a very competitive person and was in a very low mood at the moment.
"This game is not fair at all. The people below can attack at will. If they can't hit us, they can hit the city wall. Anyway, getting us down is a point. But what about us? We can only attack them from a distance. God, This city wall is more than ten meters high, who can beat it?" Ron muttered to himself while eating, and Lavender next to him would hand him a chicken leg from time to time with a look of fascination.
"Yeah, it's really unfair. It will be changed in the afternoon." Ma En nodded and said, this is not a secret, there is no need to hide it.
Hearing what he said, not only Ron, but all the contestants around him looked over. Ma En shrugged: "Don't look at me, it's just a small prop to help defend the city. Professor Snape helped prepare it, otherwise …You go ask him?”
As soon as they heard it was Snape, everyone immediately lost all interest and sat back down to continue eating. No one wanted to get points for their own house. In Hogwarts, Snape could do anything. This matter is generally recognized.
Especially Snape has not been in a good mood recently... Gryffindor is ranked last from the bottom so far, and Slytherin is the second from the bottom...
At least two-thirds of the points deducted by these two colleges occurred between retaliating against each other and being retaliated against.
Although I didn't find out what prop it was, the little wizard on the defensive side obviously had more expectations on his face, while the people on the attacking side were more or less uneasy.
The name Snape always reminds people of some bad words in this school. Who knows what he will end up with by asking him to prepare props.
Not only people from Hogwarts, but also Beauxbatons students were also dining in the auditorium. After listening to the information given to them by Hogwarts, they also joined the discussion.
These chirping sounds continued until one o'clock in the afternoon, when Snape appeared with a large amount of magic potions in his hands.
Instead of using a test tube, it was packed in a small medicine jar with several Nuts. He briefly explained the effect of the contents. It would not cause injury, but it would cause extreme itching if spread on the body. The duration is 2 minutes, and each time A team defending the city can be allocated twenty cans.
Sima's face faded from the face of the little wizard who was guarding the city, and appeared on the face of the siege party. If the short-term itch appeared on the Muggle battlefield, it would be nothing, not to mention the amount was so small, but if it was a wizard, it would be different. Already…
These 2 minutes are enough for the little wizard above to have enough time to aim, try and make mistakes, then slowly recite the spell, launch a powerful enough magic, and then... there is no more, it has been eliminated, there is no need to discuss what will happen next. thing.
Ron and Harry excitedly ran forward to receive the supplies for their team. Looking at Draco with an ugly face, an uncomfortable smile appeared on his face.
