Although Hogwarts has gone further and further down the wrong path, fortunately, although it is a magical warfare school, it is still a school, not a concentration camp for cultivating warmongers, and normal courses also exist.
For example, in Hufflepuff's herbology class, Professor Sprout is too normal. Whether it's the plants that need their care in the greenhouse or the textbooks, there is no extra-curricular content at all, although it is related to fertilizers and soil. There was a bit of embarrassment in the presence of disobedient juvenile magical plants, but Harry, who was full of vegetable-growing genes, never tired of it.
Some things are not meant to be worn through time travel. After getting an introduction, Harry, who was so out of control, took back a few flower pots and planned to order something like this on the small window sill of the dormitory. This kind of alternative He couldn't stop expanding his territory.
Also appearing extremely normal are the history of magic and astronomy. The subjects of stargazing have not changed much, and Professor Binns of the history of magic has not made any unexpected changes. His drawl is like the voice of an old monk reciting sutras. The already waterlogged history became more and more boring. After barely holding on for half an hour, Harry had to live in a state of half-asleep and half-awake like everyone else.
However, there is still something to look forward to this week. Professor Flitwick's Duel Club is quite interesting. This small private club belonging to the professor recruits the young wizards with the most talent in Charms in each grade.
At the end of April, May, and June every year, a small duel competition initiated by the International Duelist Club will begin. April is a competition between various regions. Each registered magic school has The recommended quotas are probably the semi-finals and finals in May and June after completing the regional competition.
Although it is said to be an international competition, the number of participants is actually not that large. When it comes to the semi-finals, it is considered a large number to have about ten people from each age group. It is a recognized magic school in the world. There are not many in number, especially large magic schools similar in size to Hogwarts. There are no more than twenty in the entire world.
And those small magic schools basically can't get any high-quality students. Although they occasionally produce a few talented students, most of them can only join in the fun.
Although the scale of the competition is not large due to the number of people, and the attention it receives is not too high, the gold content of this event is still very good, especially its parent event, the International Duelist Championship, which can win the championship of this competition. , can be regarded as the number one figure in the entire magical world. Professor Flitwick finally gained the recognized title of Duel Master because he killed outstanding wizards from all over the world five times in a row.
Harry was quite happy in his heart to be chosen as the seed player by Professor Flitwick.
After arriving at the club, Harry also saw an acquaintance of Slytherin. Little Draco was ridiculous, but his sister seemed to have the temperament of an elite wizard from a pure-blood family. She was admitted to the club in the first week. The only first-year wizards invited to join the Duel Club are Harry and Cassandra. They can stand out so early. Her performance in and out of class must be much better than the others.
"Miss Cassandra, I am really lucky to meet you here."
Although Harry didn't like her and didn't even like to talk to her, after he entered the room, this guy stared at him murderously. It would be rude if he didn't say hello.
"That's great, it seems you guys know each other."
Professor Flitwick said with a smile. Probably because of his height, he could not see the look in Cassandra's eyes before. This rich and noble daughter of the Malfoy family would not have all her emotions written on her face all the time.
After Harry greeted her, she quickly adjusted her expression to the usual Malfoy family expression. Unfortunately, she could not look down at Harry, who was half a head taller than her. , instead turned into a kind of arrogant looking up, especially after Harry came closer with a smile, this subtle sense of déjà vu became more and more obvious, so after sensing that something was wrong, someone Quietly he tiptoed.
"Yes, I know you." Harry nodded to Professor Flitwick, then stretched out his hand and pressed her head. The little girl who was glaring at him suddenly became two inches shorter. Grow taller, can you stop being so childish?"
"You! Shameless!" He slapped Harry's paw away unceremoniously. Cassandra's face turned a little red, she was completely angry.
"Actually, there is no need to worry so much. Anyway, you will grow up in the future... Oh no, you will grow taller."
At Harry's condescending glance, Cassandra subconsciously held her chest and took half a step back. Cassandra's face turned darker and darker. If the professor hadn't been present, she would have recited a curse to Harry.
But at this moment, Professor Flitwick, who was already standing on the table on the wooden ramp, spoke, and everyone's eyes naturally came to him.
"Sit down, don't be too formal." Flitwick said to the two people who were here for the first time, and he himself sat on the soft cushions on the table.
"Today is the first gathering of the Duel Club since the start of school. Future gatherings will be held at the same time as today. Mr. Potter and Miss Malfoy, let me briefly tell you about the content of the Duel Club."
The two people who did not continue to argue found a seat nearby and sat down, listening carefully to Professor Flitwick's words.
"The original intention of the duel club is to gather a group of wizards who are talented and passionate about dueling. Different from the dueling clubs in schools, here, I will personally teach you some professional dueling skills, such as quickly casting spells and quickly drawing guns. Train you in the accuracy of blind shooting spells and many advanced skills that are not easy to learn in books."
"And all this is for the annual International Youth Wizard Duel Championship. Although there are not many participants in this event, every wizard who can enter the finals is one of the best spellcasters of the contemporary era. If you can Winning the championship will be of great help to you after graduation."
"Whether it's bonus or glory, this is worth fighting for."
"Although the competition is not long, you will also take this opportunity to understand the wonderful magic from all over the world. This can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge. Everyone who can come here is Hogg Outstanding students at Watts, I hope to take this opportunity to allow everyone to better explore their talents and not to bury this talent."
