Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 106 Let her win once?
"Ready?" Professor Flitwick asked.

David nodded, watching Professor Flitwick intently.

"Okay, you go first." Professor Flitwick made a gesture of invitation.

After David bowed, he observed carefully and raised his wand to pretend to attack.

The moment Professor Flitwick changed his footsteps, he changed the direction of his attack.

A "tripping spell" roared towards the direction where Professor Flitwick was moving.

But Professor Flitwick turned around lightly, and David's spell hit the carpet, leaving a hole.

"Disarms you." Professor Flitwick waved his wand.

David couldn't dodge in time, and his wand fell into Professor Flitwick's hands.

"Very good." Professor Flitwick explained: "Mr. Scamander, your performance just now was very good. You knew to use fake moves to deceive me, but it was too obvious. Your eyes and the state of your body are telling me , your first shot was a fake, so I used my plan, and it was obvious that you were fooled."

David nodded obediently, the champion of the duel contest, well-deserved reputation!

"These are what I will teach you next, guessing the other party's intentions and how to hide your own intentions." Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

"Professor, what if both sides in the duel are proficient in this?" Neville asked aloud.

"A very good question." Professor Flitwick praised: "If both of them are dueling masters, how can they win?"

"First of all, you need to quickly become familiar with the opponent's attack patterns and routes during the battle. No matter how much he hides, some habitual actions are hard to get rid of. After you get this information, you can lure him to do it. Defeat him by making the attack you want him to make."

"This kind of behavior is a bit like dancing on the tip of a knife, and only a very talented person can master it perfectly." Professor Flitwick said with a smile: "Otherwise there will be champions of dueling masters everywhere."

"Professor, what if there is no talent?" Harry asked aloud.

"No talent?" Professor Flitwick waved his wand, "Then master a more powerful spell than the other party. Absolute power can overwhelm all skills."

Harry nodded thoughtfully.

David was stunned for a moment. Professor Flitwick's advice wouldn't make Harry a master of the dark arts, would he?
David glanced casually at Harry, who was still in deep thought.

But there's nothing wrong with being a master of the dark arts.
It's Dumbledore, he knows more about the Dark Arts than anyone else!
But I didn't see anyone saying that he was a big devil.

As long as you stick to your heart, black magic is just a powerful force that can be used by people.

Besides, even if Harry couldn't hold on, Dumbledore would pull him back.

Although it may be physical.

David thought of this, and looked at Professor Flitwick again.

"Now let's form a group of two?" Professor Flitwick looked at it: "Oh, there are five of you, so who would like to be in a group with me?"

As soon as Professor Flitwick finished speaking, Hermione rushed to David's side: "Professor, I'm with David."

"I'm in a team with Harry." Harry and Ron also ran closely together.

Neville was about to walk in David's direction, but Hermione beat him.

Then he tried to walk in Harry's direction, but Ron beat him again.

Neville turned around a few steps, but found nothing.

"Mr. Longbottom, it seems that you have to join me." Professor Flitwick decided happily.

But this was not pleasant for Neville, he lowered his head and muttered: "Professor, can I be in a group?"

"That's impossible!" Professor Flitwick shattered his little wit: "You can't complete the training task by yourself."

Neville's face was immediately filled with frustration, with a trace of fear in it.

"Okay, now everyone is practicing with each other. During the practice, you should pay attention to the changes in the eyes, wrists or toes of the opponent before casting the spell, and see who can judge the direction of the opponent's attack first!" Professor Flitwick greeted, The room immediately became lively.

"Is Hermione ready?" David asked with a smile.

"Hmm!" Hermione took a deep breath nervously, calming down her slightly trembling hands.

"Then you come first?" David twirled his wand.

"Okay!" Hermione pursed her lips and turned her wand in a small arc: "Disarm."

David stood still, the curse slipping past him.

"Why don't you move!" Hermione said angrily, "I obviously made a fake move beforehand."

David laughed dumbly and said, "If you didn't keep staring at me, I might believe it."

"Is there?" Hermione thought about it for a while, and immediately said, "I obviously just saw you!"

"Would you like me to give it a try?" David raised his eyebrows

"Okay! Then you come!" Hermione said unconvinced, and then looked at David in full swing.

As soon as David raised his wand, Hermione's body moved.

As the wand fell, David's wand suddenly turned to the right, but was quickly pulled to the left: "Expelliarmus."

Hermione's wand flew to the ground.

David still couldn't make the flying wand fall into his hand stably like Professor Flitwick.

"How did you find out?" Hermione's joy disappeared in an instant: "Obviously you were deceived by me in the first place!"

"It's still your eyes." David said with a smile: "Although the slight movements of your body have been hinting to me that you are going to move to the right, your eyes inadvertently glanced to the left, so I believed your eyes." .”

"Ah!" Hermione picked up her wand and scratched her hair angrily: "Again! Let me attack!"

"Okay, come on!" David just finished speaking with a curse and flew past him.

"My eyes again? I've tried my best to control it this time!" Hermione stomped her feet angrily.

"Not this time," David said.

"Then what is it for?" Hermione was a little curious. Could it be that she is full of flaws?
"Ahem, I didn't react just now," David said shyly.

Hermione froze for a moment, rushed up and punched David, it was better to use a physical attack!

"Miss Granger, it's better to use the wand to practice first. Close combat is what we will teach in the future." Professor Flitwick and Neville took the time to remind him during the duel.

"Understood, Professor." Hermione responded, glared at David, and encouraged herself: "Again! I will definitely succeed once today!"

"Okay, come on, Hermione." David shook his fist at her encouragingly.

Time passed quickly, and soon the day's class was over.

Hermione crouched on the floor in frustration, with David standing beside her.

"Miss Granger, how about another training object for you?" Professor Flitwick asked aloud.

"No!" Hermione stood up immediately, stared at David and said seriously: "I will definitely hit you."

After speaking, Hermione hurried out.

"Professor, please forgive me, Hermione was a little stimulated today." David whispered.

Professor Flitwick nodded, expressing his understanding: "Why don't you give her a little bit next time and let her win once?"

David nodded seriously.

"David, are you still leaving?" Hermione asked suddenly, turning around.

But the sound of Harry and Ron discussing entered her ears again.

"Harry, I hit you 6 times today!" Ron said happily.

"Didn't I beat you twice?" Harry said disdainfully.

After hearing this, Hermione was taken aback, then stomped her feet, turned around and left again, and David quickly followed her.

　These two chapters are a bit boring. They are to prepare for Voldemort and the adventure later, and at the same time strengthen Hermione, otherwise it will be difficult for her to join the protagonist's adventure.

　　Hope you all enjoy watching, thank you!
