Hiding in the corner of the corridor, Malfoy and his little follower Ben Crabbe were huddled together, playing their favorite little game:
Then he picks a lucky person who passes by... and fires the curse.
Seeing the embarrassment of those students, Malfoy was very happy every time.
But today, instead of using a curse, he used a patronus curse, and the entertainment effect was not that good.
Because every time he shouted "Calling God to Guard", the tip of the wand could only spray out a cloud of mist, which looked worse than a humidifier.
A second-grade student, whose face was covered in smoke, cursed:
"You two are mentally ill, aren't you? Are you so wicked? If your parents are still in good health, please hurry up and get another one!"
He put his hands on his hips, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he spit out a mouthful of old phlegm, which flew onto Malfoy's new shoes.
Malfoy was furious. No one dared to talk to him like this. He looked at his follower and said fiercely:
"Crabbe, hit him!"
But after the guy finished spitting, he turned around and ran, smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Crabbe was too large and too slow to catch up.
"Don't let me meet this kid again, otherwise I'll beat him until his own mother doesn't recognize him!" Malfoy said angrily:
"By the way, do you know which college he is from?"
"It seems to be Hufflepuff." Crabbe thought for a while and said cautiously:
"The last time I saw him was eating at the Hufflepuff table and asking for Rolf Scamander's autograph..."
Malfoy fell silent, coughed and said, "For Scamander's sake, spare this boy once!"
Crabbe took a breath. He was really afraid that Malfoy would get mad and seek death again... and then give away this month's pocket money.
Malfoy waved his wand and cleaned his shoes. He shook his arm and said:
"Why can't I cast this stupid Patronus Charm and my wand isn't broken?"
Malfoy is like a fisherman who has been unable to release the Patronus Charm for a long time. Now he has reached the point where he begins to suspect that the tool is not working.
"Draco, someone is here again!" Crabbe reminded quickly: "It's Potter and Weasley!"
Hearing Harry's name, Malfoy immediately became excited and strong. He glanced at the two figures in the distance and said excitedly:
"Hide now!"
When the footsteps approached, Malfoy jumped out again. This time it was no longer a harmless Patronus Curse, but...
"Stand stiff and stop dead!"
Ron's legs were stuck together tightly, as if they were entangled with a rope. His whole body threw forward, and fell firmly to the ground with a thud.
Malfoy laughed.
"Ron!" Harry shouted. He quickly pulled out his wand and shouted: "Grinning!"
A ray of silver light hit Malfoy in the stomach, and he doubled over, gasping for air.
Crabbe grabbed Harry, who twisted like an eel and kicked his heel hard into Crabbe's crotch. There was a scream from behind, and then he broke away.
Then Harry lunged at Malfoy, knocked him to the ground, and sat down on him.
Malfoy pushed upwards from the waist down, hitting Harry's butt, trying to push him away, but Harry was not a vegetarian, so he pushed down hard.
Pedestrians passing by were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. What are you two doing?
Fight or...fight?
Percy, who happened to be passing by, rushed over and shouted loudly: "Stop it! Stop it immediately! Don't allow it in the corridor..."
Percy was a little speechless, and he couldn't describe the actions of Harry and Malfoy.
Harry and Malfoy were still fighting and ignored Percy at all. He had no choice but to raise his wand and forcefully separate the two inseparable guys.
Harry covered his sore butt and said angrily: "Percy, it was Malfoy who attacked Ron first."
Percy glanced at Ron lying on the ground, and after helping him unlock the magic, he looked at Malfoy and said:
"Ten points from Slytherin! I will tell Professor McGonagall about this!"
"Whatever you want, Professor Snape will add me back anyway." Malfoy smiled disdainfully, stood up, and dusted himself off.
Percy seemed offended. "Malfoy, I don't like your attitude! You need to show some respect to the Head Boy. Another five points from Slytherin!"
Malfoy sneered and took Crabbe away. Before he could get far, he saw Goyle running over. He frowned and said:
"Goyle, where have you been?"
"Draco, I just heard some news." Goyle said loudly:
"Scamander...he went and pressed twenty galleons, betting that he would be the first to release the Patronus."
"real?!"
"It's absolutely true." Gore nodded and said, "After I learned the news, I rushed over as soon as possible."
Malfoy hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much money do you have with you? Take it all out!"
Crabbe hesitated: "Draco, do you want to bet on Scamander?"
"Yes, I have fought against Scamander so many times and I know his strength very well." Malfoy said softly.
It was clear that he was beaten one-sidedly, but Malfoy made it sound as if the two were 50-50 divided.
"If there is only one student who can learn the Patronus Charm, it must be Scamander... Since he is betting on himself now, it means he has mastered it."
"Let's make the bet quickly, otherwise the bet will be over when he uses the Patronus Charm in public."
Malfoy hurried away with Crabbe and Goyle, leaving only Harry and Ron looking at each other.
"Has Rolf actually been able to summon a complete Patronus?" Harry exclaimed, "As expected of him."
He often went to Sirius' office to open a small stove, but when faced with the dementor, he would faint every time.
Sirius recently wanted to change Harry's training subjects from Dementors to Boggarts.
"Harry, let's go too." Ron said in a strange voice.
"Why, you want to place a bet too?"
"Yeah, you're guaranteed to make a profit!" Ron said with eager eyes.
"Now that the news has not spread, the odds have not dropped too much, but after a while, others will get the news, and the odds will probably be very low."
"Are you rich?" Harry asked curiously.
"I saved some, although not much." Ron was also a little strange. He used to lose money often, and he even got living expenses here. When he arrived at Hogwarts at night, the money was gone.
But in recent times, he has not lost any money, and he has saved some pocket money.
"Although the quantity is not large, if you put it all in now, you can still make a lot of money."
Ron was very excited. The opportunity to make money was right in front of him and he couldn't miss it.
The news that Scamander learned the Patronus Charm quickly spread throughout Hogwarts before noon.
I heard that he could make a sure profit without losing any money, and many students tried to suppress him. If he got behind him, because the odds were too low, he could hardly make any money.
But some students still follow suit.
Just when everyone was looking forward to Rolf using the Patronus, another shocking news quickly spread in Hogwarts:
Shirley Swinton of Ravenclaw used the Patronus Charm first and became the first student to summon a complete Patronus.
The little wizards who had placed bets were all blown away. They rushed to Gryffindor to find Lee Jordan and the three twins who opened the gambling bureau, and they almost shouted:
rnm, refund your money!
