Chapter 44: It's good to be young, fall asleep right away!

While Lynn was refining the alchemy array with the "agility" attribute as the core, Malfoy had already set off towards the trophy room with Crabbe and Goyle.

On the other side, Harry and Ron also set off towards the trophy room. Hermione failed to dissuade them and had to follow them. On the way, they also took Neville, who was locked out of the Gryffindor common room.

Soon, the two groups arrived at the trophy room one after the other.

In the trophy room, the crystal glass cabinets sparkled in the moonlight, and the trophies, shields, medals, and statues flashed silver and gold in the dark.

The two groups drew their wands at the same time and pointed at each other.

"Potter, I didn't expect you to really dare to come. I thought you would hide in the dormitory and cry for your mudblood mother!"

Malfoy said sarcastically.

Harry was not to be outdone and said sarcastically, "Really? I thought that was something only you would do! Are you sure you are not projecting what you did?"

On the side, Ron imitated vividly: "I'm going to tell my father!"

Ron's imitation completely angered Malfoy. Malfoy walked up and pointed his wand at Harry: "Come here, it's time for a wizard's duel!"

As he said, Malfoy performed the etiquette of a wizard's duel in a serious manner.

And Harry also performed the duel ceremony in the way Ron taught him in a somewhat clumsy way.

"Three! Two! One!"

"Expelliarmus!"

As the countdown ended, Malfoy took the lead in casting the Disarming Charm.

As a child of a pureblood family, Malfoy had naturally been exposed to magic in advance. Although his magical talent was not as high as Lynn's, it was not a big problem for him to master some simple spells in advance.

Harry looked at the spell flying at him and dodged quickly.

Harry didn't know how to cast much magic, so before the duel began, Ron told him to try to dodge Malfoy's spells.

"Rictusempra!"

Malfoy cast the Tickling Charm again, and another beam of light quickly hit Harry.

Harry dodged in a panic, and one spell after another hit Harry's feet.

"Potter, are you only good at running away? Why don't you change your name to Wormtail?!"

Malfoy laughed wantonly, but Harry, who was forced to dodge constantly, couldn't say anything at all.

But at this moment, Hermione suddenly stepped forward.

Although she was very dissatisfied with Harry and Ron's violation of school rules, she didn't want to see her friend being beaten by Malfoy without any ability to fight back.

"I'm Harry's second. Harry is not feeling well, let me take over!"

Hermione shouted.

In the absence of Irina, she was probably the only one in the Gryffindor group who had the strength to fight Malfoy.

Harry frowned and wanted to say something, but Ron covered his mouth and dragged him back.

Although Ron was a bit foolish, he was not stupid. With Hermione's help, they would definitely win easily!

Malfoy didn't care that Harry changed his second. In his opinion, he just needed to defeat the opponent!

Malfoy didn't think Hermione was that powerful. After all, the opponent was just a Muggle-born!

Thinking so, Malfoy cast the first spell at Hermione without hesitation: "Tarantallegra!"

Although Malfoy's Dancing Feet Spell was to control Hermione's movement so that she could only dance and could not dodge the subsequent spells, he also wanted to watch her have fun.

Hermione got angry when she saw this: "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Although it was just the basic Levitation Charm, it was not ordinary in Hermione's hands. A silver trophy flew high and then suddenly hit the back of Malfoy's head.

"Ugh..."

Malfoy rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, knocked out.

Hermione's instant takedown made everyone stunned.

Crabbe walked up quickly. According to the rules, he was Malfoy's second.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

However, even Malfoy was knocked out by Hermione, let alone Crabbe!

Hermione just threw out the Full Body-Bind Curse and immobilized Crabbe.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Hermione, who was excited, cast another Full Body-Bind Curse and immobilized the innocent-looking Goyle.

"Hermione, you are brilliant!"

"I'm sorry, Hermione, I was too harsh before!"

Harry and Ron's attitude towards Hermione has completely changed, and they looked at Hermione with admiration.

"Hmph! Don't do it again, don't violate school rules in the future!"

Hermione raised her head and planned to return to the common room.

"Meow~"

But at this moment, a meow came.

A skinny, dust-colored cat was squatting at the door of the trophy room, looking at everyone with its bulging eyes like light bulbs.

The next moment, it ran away quickly.

"Oh no, it's Mrs. Norris, Filch must be nearby, let's run!"

Ron exclaimed, he grabbed Harry with his left hand, pulled Hermione with his right hand, and ran out of the trophy room, while Harry's other hand was holding the panting Neville.

At this time, Filch's voice came from a distance: "Mrs. Norris, have you seen the little rulebreakers?! I'm coming!"

Then, there was a sound of running.

This scared the Gryffindors so much that their souls were about to fly away. Harry led everyone to quietly walk forward along a corridor full of suits of armor.

Fortunately, the immobilized Malfoy trio bought them time. Filch first caught the Malfoy trio, and then continued to chase Harry and others.

After realizing that Filch's voice was getting closer and closer, the timid Neville couldn't help but scream. He ran away, but was tripped and bumped into Ron, falling on a suit of armor.

"Run!" Harry shouted loudly, and the four ran at full speed along the corridor.

After an unknown amount of time, Harry and others ran to the end of the corridor, which was a locked door.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just then, a voice like the sound of nature came from not far away from them.

Hermione looked over in surprise: "Irina, why are you here?!"

Irina blinked innocently and said, "I was just released by Professor McGonagall, and I heard the ghosts and werewolves howling here, so I came to see what was happening!"

Ron sobbed, "Don't look! We are finished, we are about to be expelled!"

Harry explained, "We were chased by Filch all the way here, and this is a dead end!"

At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance, and the owner of the footsteps was obviously Filch who had chased them all the way here.

"Oh, come here!" Hermione was a little annoyed. She tapped the lock of the locked door with her wand and shouted, "Alohomora!"

The lock clicked and opened.

Hermione pushed Harry, Ron and Neville in with force, and then pulled Irina, who was confused, in, and finally closed the door again.

Just when everyone thought they were safe, Irina poked Hermione carefully.

"Stop it, Irina!" Hermione gasped.

Irina said speechlessly: "I'm not making trouble, please look up!"

Hearing this, Hermione looked up and was stunned.

They saw a massive three-headed dog that was tall enough to support the ceiling filling almost all the space. It had three heads and three pairs of vicious eyes that rolled around, and three drooling mouths that seemed to want to swallow everyone in one bite.

Just the size of Harry and others was like a snack in front of this Cerberus!
