Among the four houses of Hogwarts, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff belong to the relatively moderate middle school, while Gryffindor and Slytherin are at the two extremes respectively, which is a kind of hostility. The competitive relationship between them is not pleasing to each other.
However, this kind of hostility and competition is within the scope allowed by school rules.
In the words of Fred and George, everyone knows where the line is. There may be people who occasionally cross a toe or two, but they will take it back immediately before causing big trouble, otherwise they will be severely punished by the school rules.
But at noon today, the atmosphere in the auditorium was very strange.
Ivan keenly felt that something seemed to happen between the two colleges of Gryffindor and Slytherin.
The two sides are at war, and the relationship is tense to the extreme, which has never happened before.
As soon as he, Colin, and Ginny walked in, they saw a few Slytherin students headed by Malfoy staring at the three of them maliciously.
Harry and Ron hurried up to welcome them to the Gryffindor table.
Seeing how cautious and wary they are, Ivan suspects that if there are no professors sitting on the teacher's bench, they will definitely fight immediately.
"What's going on?" Ivan sat next to Hermione.
"It's been rumored throughout the school that Sirius and Snape had a duel." Hermione whispered, her voice full of concern.
"Duel?!" Ivan was stunned for a moment, "We saw it at the school gate yesterday"
"It wasn't that time. It happened this morning. The two of them had a fight in the staff lounge. Several passing Hufflepuff students witnessed the whole duel!" Hermione said. When Dumbledore came forward, the two stopped."
Aiwen was stunned, no wonder he didn't see Sirius and Snape in the auditorium this morning, he thought they had finished breakfast early, who would have thought that the two of them would actually have a duel upstairs? ! No wonder Snape was so freaking out this morning and treated everyone so badly.
"Sirius is so impulsive, he has already hit Snape twice on the first day of school," Hermione said anxiously.
Ivan wasn't too surprised. The duel between Sirius and Snape, no matter how you looked at it, was bound to happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
If there is no winner, the two of them will definitely continue to fight.
"Since there was a duel, what was the result?"
"I don't know, they were separated by Dumbledore before they got the result!" Hermione continued, "But after class, Sirius told us that as long as he was given a few more minutes, he could defeat Snape." .”
In Aiwen's view, this sentence should be said by Sirius for the sake of face, and Snape should be stronger than him.
More than a decade ago, they might have been evenly matched. But after all, Sirius had been imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years, and his magic power and fighting skills had declined. And Snape has improved a lot in strength over the past ten years.
If the fight continued, Sirius would most likely lose to Snape.
But in terms of Sirius' fighting style, even if Snape wins the duel in the end, he will definitely pay a considerable price.
All in all, if other external forces and environmental influences are not considered, the result of the duel between the two sides should be a lose-lose.
"Okay, Sirius and Snape got into a fight, so what happened to Malfoy and those Slytherin students?" Ivan asked curiously, "Looking at their appearance, each of them can't wait to Eat us up!"
"Why don't you understand, Ivan!" Harry leaned over, "Since Sirius and Snape are confronting each other head-on, we must support Sirius."
"Support Sirius?!" Ivan was even more confused.
"That's right, we've all made plans. We're going to find an opportunity to fight Slytherin to decide the winner. We're currently recruiting people. Looking at what Malfoy and Slytherin mean, they must think so too, and they all support it." Snape."
The idea of a head-on confrontation between colleges and a winner is really naive enough.
Ivan knew that Dumbledore would never let this happen, and he would definitely restrain Sirius and Snape to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"You also feel ridiculous, don't you?" Hermione asked, and after seeing Ivan nodded, she continued, "But both Harry and Ron think so, how can I persuade them not to listen?" .”
"That's not what we thought, Hermione. After knowing this, many Gryffindors are going to fight Slytherin, and everyone has already wanted to do it." Ron said innocently, "What's more , this time with Sirius taking the lead."
"This is just a private plan of the few of you, Sirius will not agree to such a crazy idea." Hermione said worriedly, "Have you forgotten, this happened once last year, and Professor McGonagall She was mad, she said, if anyone dares to do this again, he will be fired."
"You mean the scuffle on the Quidditch field," Harry recalled. "Fred and George threw a lot of shit, and Malfoy was the focus."
"He deserves it for saying that to Hermione!" Ron added, glancing at Hermione and looking away quickly.
"But none of us took advantage in the end, and everyone was punished in the end." Hermione tried her best to bring the topic back to what she wanted to say, "This time"
"Okay, Hermione, it's not a punishment to reply to Lockhart's letter. I heard from Harry that you and Ivan didn't go at that time." Ron waved his hand, "I was under Filch's surveillance, Wiped the trophy all night and vomited slugs for over two weeks."
"So, you shouldn't"
"The situation is different this time, Hermione!" Harry said in a low voice, "Malfoy is obviously planning to attack, the duel between Sirius and Snape was just the trigger, he must be using this as an excuse to plan something, We have to defend."
"If that's the case, we should tell the professor," said Hermione uncertainly.
"My God, do you want us to tell Professor McGonagall that Malfoy may be planning to attack us and hope the school will provide protection?!" Ron waved his fork and refused, "This is too shameful, if it is true Do it, and we'll be laughed at."
"But"
"Have you forgotten what happened this morning? Malfoy is provoking, and we must fight." Harry said firmly, "There is no other way out, Hermione! This matter is not only for Sirius, but also for ourselves."
For the conversation between the three of them, Ivan felt more and more confused the more he listened.
He didn't know how Harry and Ron raised the matter of the duel between Sirius and Snape to a war between the two colleges, and there should be something else that happened in the middle that he didn't know. However, based on the analysis of the results, Malfoy may indeed be plotting some kind of conspiracy, and it is very likely that he will use this matter to stir up trouble.
The necessary defense is indeed necessary, but wouldn't it be too much of a fuss to directly engage in a large-scale melee? ! (.)
