When Harry focused his attention on Luna, he discovered a shocking fact.
Up to that distance line, Malfoy, Nott, Neville and Hermione, everyone has been hit by a few big dung balls more or less, especially Hermione. Her athletic talent is not as good as Qiu Zhang, and the girls themselves are Her physical strength is also not as good as that of boys. In the past training, Hermione should have collapsed by the one hundred and fifty foot line, but tonight, with the help of determination and perseverance, Hermione performed better than before.
However, as Professor Brain once said, will can indeed ignite people's determination to pursue power, but it cannot help you communicate with huge power across domains in an instant.
It could be seen from Hermione's gradually losing control of her steps that she was reaching her limit.
But what happened to Luna?
"She managed to avoid all the turd eggs?"
Ginny expressed Harry's doubts in a surprised voice.
Luna had nothing outstanding in the past. Her performance in this class was mediocre and she was neither at the bottom nor at the top. But now, her performance surprised everyone.
"Has she been hiding her strength?"
Patil was also muttering quietly.
As Ginny said, of all the people in the competition, Luna was the only one who didn't get a slap in the face.
Regardless of the speed of forward movement or the speed of dodge, Luna did not show a level far superior to others, but none of the big dung eggs heading towards her could get on her clothes!
"That girl is cheating!"
Pansy Parkinson said angrily, "She must have used her status as a teaching assistant to tamper with the armor!"
"If you can't produce tangible evidence, Parkinson," Harry said coldly, "then shut your mouth!"
Harry's cold scolding made Parkinson's face turn red, but in fact, Harry also felt the same confusion in his heart.
Luna acted too relaxed!
The way she jumped reminded Harry of the lattice game that was popular in the school for a while when he was in Muggle school.
As far as Harry's own experience in this training is concerned, he mainly relies on two ways to avoid the incoming big dung eggs. The first one is that there is nothing to say about what is within the field of vision. Just dodge it when his physical strength is intact, and For those big dung eggs outside his field of vision, for example, coming from the side and behind, he mainly relies on his hearing. When he is close to a certain distance, he can hear the whistling sound of those big dung eggs.
Harry was sure that Neville, who was acting unexpectedly today, also used this method to avoid it, but Luna didn't seem to be like this at all.
Harry noticed several times that when there were no big dung eggs around, Luna suddenly made a jump move, and after she changed her position, the big dung eggs would attack her just now!
This is incredible!
Could it be that she could see the future?
Harry looked at Luna, the shortest one, with slightly dazed eyes, full of confusion.
Malfoy, who was already struggling, suddenly heard a tuneless, brisk humming in his ears. Before he could react, the little girl from Ravenclaw, whom he didn't take seriously, ducked past him quickly. However, after a few inexplicable horizontal jumps, he easily dodged a wave of attacks.
Draco himself was not so lucky.
In a blink of an eye, he lost the opportunity to dodge due to his huge physical exertion. A series of big excrement balls hit his back and stomach respectively. These are the painful places after being hit. In addition, the big excrement balls hit him. Malfoy couldn't bear the stench of eggs.
Malfoy lost his balance and rolled several times on the ground while vomiting. At this moment, his position was only a few steps away from the 200-foot line.
No matter what, Draco couldn't accept the shame of not even finishing the race.
He protected the back of his neck with one hand and crawled forward in a crawling manner. Just when his fingertips were only one step away from the finish line, a sudden gust of wind blew out of the back of his head, making Draco appear desperate.
At least three big dung eggs attacked at the same time!
After training for so long, everyone is clearly aware of the power of the big dung egg's impact. With his physical strength exhausted to this point, Draco knows that he will never be able to withstand this wave of attacks!
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly covered the light of the torch, and then Draco suddenly felt a gust of evil wind whistling past his head.
Snap, snap, snap!
The long pale golden hair was stained with the splattered stink, but Malfoy had no time to care. He slowly sat up and stared blankly at Neville, who slowly retracted his whip leg and stretched out his hand towards him. , for a moment, I was a little at a loss.
"You lose, Malfoy."
Neville pulled Malfoy up. He looked directly at Malfoy with his gray eyes widened. For the first time, he felt no longer tormented by panic in his heart.
"It is foolish to question the decisions of those wiser than you -"
Next to Neville, Luna tilted her head and repeated in a brisk voice what she had said before the contest started. Draco was shocked to find that except for the slight sweat stain on her forehead, this little girl's breathing was not disturbed.
Nott fell down ten feet away from the two-hundred-foot line and whined feebly. This was about the same as his usual level. Draco opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't criticize anything.
However, when his eyes fell on Hermione who was still moving forward a few steps behind Nott, a sentence came out of his mouth uncontrollably,
"At least I won Granger. According to the rules, she has to resign as teaching assistant like Professor Blaine."
This was indeed an irrefutable fact, and neither Neville nor Luna refuted it.
Looking at Hermione, whose entire body was covered in sticky stinky liquid, but still staggering away from the big dung egg with gritted teeth, the anger ignited from the bottom of his heart made his eyes burn.
"It's not worth it, Hermione—"
Ginny covered her mouth, and Harry could hear the cry in her murmur.
Time seemed to freeze, everything in front of her was blurry, and the unbearable swelling and pain all over her body made Hermione want to cry loudly. In a daze, Hermione suddenly thought about why she wanted to participate in Professor Blaine's physical education class. middle.
The initial reason was just curiosity.
This is almost the reason why all little wizards are willing to continue to persevere after experiencing this boring course.
After entering Hogwarts, Professor Braine used a series of times to show his erudition and power. Every little wizard hopes to learn cool magic from Professor Braine's courses.
Hermione also hoped to get a glimpse of Professor Blaine's wisdom in this class. After experiencing the initial hesitation, she was sure that Professor Blaine's class was definitely not that simple. If she gave up easily, she would definitely regret it. Although pure physical training is not what she is good at, she is better at finding the truth in the ocean of magical knowledge.
"Give up, Granger, you have already lost!"
Hermione heard the sound of Malfoy gnashing his teeth, but she ignored it at all, and she didn't realize that she had staggered to break the record set by Cedric, the best little wizard in the class.
Although she had always been among the best in all subjects, not even Harry and Ron could understand the fear in her heart.
This fear comes from her Muggle origin. Although Hogwarts under the leadership of Dumbledore does not discriminate against young wizards of Muggle origin, Hermione's sensitive heart has always prevented Hermione from completely getting rid of the ubiquitous blood superiority in the wizarding world. Theory - this is one of the reasons why Hermione insists on taking this course. Professor Brain is a wizard who graduated from Slytherin College, but he is of Muggle descent, and his current achievements have been recognized by the entire wizarding world. .
Hermione hopes to one day become as good as Professor Blaine. She wants to prove that Muggle-born wizards can also achieve impressive results through hard work.
Well!
A sharp pain suddenly shot through the shoulder blade that was hit, and the powerful momentum made the staggering Hermione no longer able to maintain her balance and fell to the ground.
The stinking liquid from the turd egg almost replaced the sweat flowing on that handsome little face, but the perseverance contained in Hermione's thin back as she walked in a panic moved most of the little wizards in this classroom!
Gradually, Hermione felt the pain in her body go away from her. She had no pain or grievance, only a burning belief in her heart that supported her to move forward.
Yes, she always remembered what Professor Blaine said.
Love and hate are strong emotions that can give people the determination to chase their dreams, but they cannot help you communicate across power in an instant.
Hermione knew that she would not be able to become outstanding all of a sudden in this class. She knew that she would not reach the record set by Cedric faster than the young wizards who participated in the Slytherin competition. Therefore, her initial goal Only, that is——
reach destination!
It was a really long journey, even longer than the journey from the foyer to the Sorting Hat on her first night at Hogwarts. It seemed to be endless.
Hermione, who was hazy, seemed to hear Harry shouting, and she seemed to hear Ginny crying. However, now she had no energy left to care about any of this, she just wanted to move forward!
Looking at the girl who was trying her best to climb farther, Draco didn't realize that the shame and anger on his face had quietly disappeared, and was replaced by confusion.
He couldn't understand why that mudblood girl was willing to do this.
However, this did not prevent his heart and soul from being greatly shocked!
"Okay, Granger!"
Caught off guard, Draco's shouts filled every corner of the classroom.
"You win!"
The girl who was struggling to move forward finally showed a smile on her lips. Then, the whites of her eyes rolled up, her head tilted and she fainted.
One million words! ! !
