Ron looked at Neville with only the hilt left in his hand, he was stunned for a few seconds, but then Hermione rushed towards him immediately——

"And you!"

Hermione yelled and shouted, "I've never seen such a stubborn person like you. You have no brains at all, and you can still be deceived. Are you so proud of living in the magic world since you were a child?!"

Ron didn't dare to take the initiative to hit Neville, and naturally he didn't dare to attack Hermione, but Hermione's shot speed was much faster than Neville's. Ron always couldn't stand it, and he screamed in pain.

"Ah! Oh! Hiss! It hurts! Don't! Ah—"

Harry and Neville didn't know what to do, they could only stand aside and watch Ron get beaten up by Hermione.

After the two fought for a while, there was another click, and the wooden sword in Ron's hand broke, and he watched Hermione slap him on the arm at a rapid speed——

"Crack!"

Now, the last wooden sword is gone.

Hermione stared at Ron, panting heavily.

Ron clutched his arms tightly and dared not speak. It suddenly occurred to him that the duel seemed to be over, so would they also be expelled?

At this moment, Toby stood up again, and he strode up to Ron, rolling up the sleeve of his arm that was hit last.

Ron thought his arm was swollen at first, but now he realized that nothing happened, Harry was not beaten black and blue, only the pain seemed real.

A broken wooden sword flew in front of Toby, and he held it in the air and showed it: "Did you see the notch on it, this is a special magic circle, which only transmits pain, but not real injuries. "

He glanced at everyone's face separately: "Do you know what this means?"

No one dared to speak, Hermione looked at Toby cautiously, her eyes seemed a little guilty.

Neville was still panting, looking like he had no strength left.Ron and Harry only dared to gently rub the sore spots on their bodies.

"Meaning this will be an extra homework for you,"

Toby said sternly: "Learn this magic circle before the next class, and those who can't do it will continue to be locked up!"

After leaving the office, Harry, Ron and Neville's minds were still foggy.

"So we don't have to be fired?" Ron asked in surprise.

Hermione, who was walking in the front, snorted and disdain to talk to him.

Under Harry and Ron's constant questioning, Hermione raised her chin and explained: "The loser will be expelled. In this case, no one will be punished unless there is a tie. But this is a duel, with a wand It is very difficult to draw, but the wooden sword can do it, as long as all the wooden swords are broken."

"That's why Hermione hit her hard and fast at the end." Harry explained, "Otherwise it would be too late to break the last wooden sword."

"Oh." Ron nodded foolishly: "I thought you really wanted to kill me."

Hermione snorted again, she hadn't fully forgiven the two of them, otherwise she wouldn't have hit them that much just now.

At this moment, Harry and Ron didn't feel the pain anymore, which was obviously also the effect of the magic circle, which wouldn't make the pain last for too long.

"Thank you, Hermione."

Harry said sincerely that she had just resolved another crisis for several people without getting anyone fired.

"Hmph!" Hermione ignored him.

"I'm sorry, Hermione." Ron followed suit and apologized: "It's really impossible, you should hit me a few more times, anyway, it will be fine in a while."

They also took away the broken wooden sword, so that they could learn the magic circle better. Toby was serious about explaining the homework.

"Hmph!" The grudge in Hermione's heart hadn't completely dissipated.

At this moment, Neville suddenly burst into tears, startling the three of them.

"Why are you crying again?" Hermione was puzzled, and Harry and Ron hurriedly comforted him.

"I'm so happy." Neville wailed.

He had managed to keep the crystal ball that healed his parents, and even though Toby never mentioned it, that was what Neville thought.

Strange to say, they walked back to the common room together. In the process of comforting Neville, Hermione finally stopped being so indifferent. Ron and Harry quickly seized the opportunity to apologize, and finally Hermione snorted and left , but this sound was obviously not so angry.

"Well done, Neville." Ron said sleepily, "You've really helped a lot by crying."

Neville rubbed his eyes suspiciously, he didn't feel that he was helping, and he was crying sincerely, completely unaware of the role he had played.

Ron turned his head to Harry: "Did you hear that trapdoor Hermione was talking about?"

Hermione was the only one who had seen the trapdoor in the forbidden room on the fourth floor and hadn't told them about it until just now.

Harry kept thinking about it, and it was obvious that the three-headed dog was guarding something, and the packet in vault 713 was probably hidden behind a trapdoor.

"There is another thing." Harry reminded: "Didn't you listen to Hermione, Professor Highmore may have seen her little tricks, but he didn't punish us, what do you think is the reason for this? "

"Maybe it's just because he didn't see it?" Ron said: "The scene was so chaotic at the time, how could everything be seen, anyway, Hermione's last hit hurt me a lot, this magic circle is really amazing, Causes pain, doesn't hurt—"

He suddenly widened his eyes in horror: "Isn't this a magic circle specially used for corporal punishment of students?"
-
"That's education."

In the ancient magic office, Toby finally smiled, but Snape looked gloomy.

"Speaking of which, I learned this from Principal Dumbledore." As if he didn't see the expression on Snape's face, Toby continued: "The work of education is not limited to the classroom. There are also a lot of things that need to be spent on—"

"Are you referring to being specially called to give lectures?" Snape said coldly, "Then you have indeed received an extraordinary education."

"Hey, Severus, what's the use of getting angry at me." Toby smiled, "Don't blame me for the mistakes of their four children. It's not my fault that Harry Potter didn't get expelled." , I just gave them a chance to draw, and they caught them. Thinking about it this way, these kids are not that stupid, at least Miss Granger is not."

Snape squinted at him: "But Dumbledore would never physically punish students, let alone treat students in such a rough way as you."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Toby shook his head: "The headmaster is very patient, he is willing to call a student to the office to chat and talk. But don't forget, I am not a Gryffindor after all—"

"It's a real Slytherin."
