Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 40 Confinement
Snape looked at the three of them contemptuously, the corners of his mouth curved into a weird arc, a little like mocking.

"Come in," he said, turning and walking into the office.

Harry and Ron looked at each other silently. They didn't expect Snape to be here, but both of them had no choice but to go inside.

Neville followed them in fear, and Snape was also one of the professors he feared the most.

After entering the office, they realized that the inside had changed. There was a large space in the middle, which was half the size of a classroom.

Hermione did arrive very early. Instead of sitting down, she stood in front of the desk with her head bowed deeply.

Toby was sitting behind the desk, staring blankly at the three people who came in behind.

"Everyone is here."

He stood up and said: "Since you like duels so much, then tonight's confinement will be conducted in the form of duels. In addition, you are all from Gryffindor College, maybe you don't know, Godric Gryffin Duo is a dueling master with rich skills, and he is not only good at using wands, but also has superb swordsmanship. When the enemy he faces is Muggles, Gryffindor will give up using wands and only use Muggles way to duel."

"You have the same two options tonight, either with a wand or with a sword."

At this time, Al suddenly appeared, dragging four small wooden swords with difficulty, and threw them in front of the four of them.

When Harry and Ron heard the word "duel", they realized that Professor Highmore knew everything.

But they never imagined that this would be a way of confinement.

"You will be divided into two teams."

Toby continued to speak calmly: "Miss Granger is on the same team as Mr. Longbottom, and Mr. Potter is on the same team as Mr. Weasley."

"The loser will be expelled from Hogwarts. Only the one who wins the duel can stay."

"You have 1 minute to choose your weapon, let's start with a wand or a wooden sword."

After saying this, Toby had no intention of explaining any further. He sat back behind his desk, and Al jumped on his shoulders.

Snape walked up to him and sat down, with a malicious smile on his face.

Whether it was Neville, Ron, or Harry, they were all frightened. It turned out that they were not out of crisis, and they might still be expelled from school.

But the one who decided to expel the candidates was to use a duel, and they still had to attack each other and drive each other away with their own hands.

How could this be possible, it was too cruel.

While the three were dumbfounded, Hermione had silently picked up the wooden sword, and she stared at Harry and Ron with hatred.

"You're crazy." Ron said in shock. "Are you really going to kick me and Harry out of school?"

"At the very least, I have to teach you a lesson myself." Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't listen to persuasion at the beginning, there would be so many things later. I told you that this is a trap, and you still have to If you want to rush in, the academy will be deducted 120 points! That's 120 points! The points I got for answering the questions so far are less than [-] points, which is not enough for my own points deducted!"

Harry and Ron finally understood how much resentment Hermione had in her heart. It could be seen from her eyes that she had never forgiven them.Moreover, after being treated with more profound indifference by her classmates, Hermione also seemed to have changed her mind, she didn't want to think so calmly anymore, and she didn't want to stand up again.

All she wanted now was to teach Harry and Ron a hard lesson, to teach him a lesson with her own hands!

Looking at this scene, Toby's expression was still calm, while Snape's expression was a hideous leisurely expression, which made Harry's heart burst into flames. He felt like a clown on stage, deliberately being Arranged to be teased by Snape in front of him.

But he still didn't take out his wand, nor picked up the wooden sword, but sincerely apologized to Hermione: "Sorry Hermione, Ron and I have always wanted to apologize to you, but we never found the opportunity—"

At this moment, Toby interrupted mercilessly: "The waiting time is over, and the duel begins."

Hermione yelled and rushed towards Harry and Ron, who were taken aback - Hermione was serious!

They fled to the rear in a panic. Harry hid behind a wooden door that was about to completely decay. This was also one of Toby's collections. I don't know why it was placed here.

"Don't be impulsive, Hermione!"

1 minute was not enough time for Harry to make such a difficult decision, and he was still trying to dissuade him: "I'm sorry, Ron and I both know we were wrong, we have been looking for you all day, but you don't know what to do. Talk to us—"

"Not talking to you?" Hermione slammed the wooden sword on the wooden door angrily, causing Harry to lean back in fright.

"Now you know how to be obedient! What did you do early! Pick up your wooden sword and have a good fight with me!"

"Stop kidding, Hermione, how could I—"

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Hermione really hit Harry on the back hard, and he screamed out in pain, and then Hermione hit Harry hard a few more times, and Harry rolled back and forth on the ground.

"How can someone as stupid as you—"

Hermione said this in a low voice, and Harry turned around immediately in shock, but was hit hard again, and screamed out.

Hermione continued to whisper through Harry's screams: "Do you want to be expelled? If you don't want to be expelled, quickly pick up the wooden sword!"

On the other side, Neville also raised his wooden sword tremblingly.

Ron stared at him dumbfounded: "You want to do it too?"

This is Neville, Neville with poor memory and cowardice.

Neville's lips trembled. He had already imagined the consequences of being expelled. Not only would he be expelled, but Professor Highmore would definitely take away the crystal ball used to treat his parents.

He yelled and emboldened himself, but he split all of a sudden, but it also hurt Ron's toe.

Ron immediately cried out in pain while holding his shoes. He quickly picked up another wooden sword, blocked another attack from Neville, and finally stood up again, but he didn't take the initiative to make a move, only waiting for Neville to make a move. It's time to block it - it's easy, he can see what the slow Neville is going to do at a glance.

"Stop messing around, Neville, why are you crazy? Don't! It hurts! It hurts!"

Harry finally picked up the wooden sword, and the four of them fought little by little. Ron and Neville seemed to be training, and the wooden sword would always be held together in the air.

Hermione, on the other hand, really planned to give Harry a good lesson, and Harry didn't dare to really do it, so he would often scream again.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, two consecutive sounds sounded, and the wooden swords in Harry's and Neville's hands snapped at the same time.

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate.
