Malfoy's "tragic death"
Chapter 249 Malfoy's "tragic death"
That was the only time the four colleges held a joint Defense Against the Dark Arts class, after which they returned to their normal teaching order.
On Thursday afternoon, Wade, Michael and others arrived at the classroom with their books and saw that most of the Slytherin students were already sitting inside.
"If you ask me, it's more fun to have classes with all four houses together," Anthony said. "The Gryffindor guys are all very entertaining."
"I don't want to," Lisa muttered, "Granger always makes me nervous."
Seeing Padma glaring at her, she quickly explained: "I don't hate her, it's just... you know, she always knows everything, which makes me look stupid and not diligent enough."
After she said this, Padma felt the same way. But verbally, she still chose to defend her friend:
"This is your problem, not Hermione's. Don't talk as if Hermione is bullying you."
"But she just loves to be in the spotlight! I wasn't wrong!"
Lisa was also a little angry, so she turned around and sat next to Daphne and the others from Slytherin.
The boundaries between students from the Snake College and the Eagle College were not so clear, and they soon gathered together to chat and laugh.
Padma said to Michael angrily, "I think she forgot that Daphne and the others tried to corner Vader before!"
"Don't be angry." Michael comforted her: "Recall it, Wade didn't suffer any loss that time."
Not only did Daphne not suffer any loss, she was even scared to tears.
Thinking of this, Padma was no longer angry at all, and even felt like laughing.
There were still a few minutes until class started, but Professor Abigail had already appeared in the classroom.
She looked around and called out, "Blace Zabini, Mandy Blocher, Michael Corner, Daphne Greengrass, the rest of you, come out for a moment."
Several students stood up with confused expressions, looked at each other, then pushed their chairs away and followed the professor out.
Not long after, they all came in again, without the previous nervousness on their faces, but instead with a mysterious smile.
"What does the professor want to see you about?" Padma asked softly.
Michael shook his head and said, "I can't tell you, but you'll know in a moment."
It was soon time for class.
Today they talked about several legendary creatures in their textbooks - the Sphinx, the Griffin, the Chicken Dragon, and the crocodile-headed sphinx Amut.
When encountering these creatures, ordinary wizards cannot expect to defeat them with magic, but fortunately, powerful magical creatures often have relatively high intelligence and their behavior has a certain logic.
As long as you follow the rules, there is a great chance of escaping these creatures unscathed.
The text uses stories to give several examples to teach young wizards how to get along with these creatures if they encounter them. This is a relatively relaxing content, and the students finished the book as if they were reading a novel.
Then came the practical part, a few simple warning and reconnaissance spells.
This kind of spell was naturally not difficult for Wade, he cast it casually, turned around to take a look at Michael's performance, but saw that he was secretly holding a black object and pointing it at him.
Wade's scalp suddenly felt numb. He turned around quickly, rotated his wrist, and released the silent armor spell immediately!
"Biu~"
A ball of red paint hit the invisible armor and then fell to the ground.
Vader looked at Michael, and Michael looked at Vader.
Then Michael smiled awkwardly and said "hush", signaling Wade to stop talking.
Then he raised the black pistol stealthily.
"Biu~Biu~Biu~"
The sound of the toy gun was drowned out by the sound of the students chanting spells and was almost unnoticed.
Wade was standing nearby and saw Michael applying red paint on the backs and legs of students near them.
Goyle, Malfoy and Nott from Slytherin were all tricked, and then he wandered among the crowd, pretending to see the results of everyone's practice, and secretly pointed the gun at Anthony, Terry, Stephen and others from Ravenclaw.
Michael did not let go of any boy who appeared in his sight, but he did not attack any girl.
But at the other end of the classroom, several students who had just been called out were also holding toy guns and playing with them happily. Some unlucky students even had three or four balls of paint on their bodies.
Soon everyone noticed the extra colors on each other.
"What's going on?" Malfoy pulled at his robe angrily. "Who did it?"
He looked around angrily, but found that everyone around him was covered in paint, and he was immediately confused. Everyone pulled each other's clothes to see, and during this process, the "attackers" took the opportunity to fire a few more shots.
At this moment, Professor Abigail clapped her hands and signaled all the students to be quiet.
"Suppose this is a Muggle gun, and you are attacked on the street or in a store, and the paint on your body is your wounds, who can survive?"
Everyone looked at each other and finally understood something.
The professor pointed at the student:
"You, you, you, and you are already dead, go over there!"
Seven or eight students were driven aside with reluctance on their faces, including Malfoy who was "shot six times and died tragically".
Professor Abigail couldn't help but look at him twice more, then looked at the other students -
"You, you, you are seriously injured and there is no hope for you. Just wait to die!"
A few more students came out from the crowd.
Then came a wave of disabled students.
Students with minor injuries.
In the end, there were only three people who were intact besides the "gunman" -
Vader blocks the "attack".
Sue Lee, who happened to be standing in the corner and was not chosen as a target by anyone.
and Daphne's good friend Pansy Parkinson.
"This is unfair!" Malfoy couldn't help but protest loudly, "If I knew there was such a test, I would be careful and wouldn't fall for it!"
He glared at the "gunmen".
"Yes, yes!" The students who had "died tragically" all protested.
"There is not much time to be prepared in life." Professor Abigail said only: "Accidents always come when you think nothing will happen, and so does death."
Malfoy was speechless.
Professor Abigail praised Wade and the others, gave each of their colleges two extra points, and then said to all the students:
“This is just the first time.”
"In future Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, there will also be 'gunmen' randomly attacking!"
"Stay alert, little fools!"
……
After class, Michael was still immersed in the joy of "simulating a killer". He said happily:
"Professor Abigail always has new tricks up her sleeve, doesn't she? Defense Against the Dark Arts class is getting more and more interesting!"
"Don't think you'll still be the 'killer' next time." Wade said lazily, "Professor Abigail should choose a different student every time."
"I don't want to be the one on defense - I have to stay alert all the time. I feel tired just thinking about it..."
Michael muttered.
When they returned to the lobby, they found a large group of students crowded inside to read the latest notice.
"Hey, what did you write? Read it to us!"
Michael, who was blocked outside the door, said loudly.
The students inside did not refuse. A tall boy from Gryffindor said, "This is the notice for the May Challenge."
"...May Challenge?"
There's only one left tonight.
