018-The Rejected Duel

The flight class of the afternoon passed quickly. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Ivan was the first student to complete flight training.

Ivan also took special care of Malfoy, carefully instructing him to be careful when flying, reminding him not to fall from the sky again.

In the distance, Mrs. Hooch saw Ivan's actions, and her evaluation of Ivan in her heart improved a little.

Gryffindor and the students of Slytherin have always been at odds with each other. In her opinion, it was rare for Ivan to put aside the prejudice in his heart and care about Malfoy so much.

Malfoy on the other hand was so angry that he thought about showing everyone a difficult maneuver to prove his skills, but it was a pity that Mrs. Hooch stopped him.

After all, there is a precedent for Malfoy to fall, and Mrs. Hooch was still a little worried about what could happen to him, so she doesn't even allow Malfoy to fly on a broomstick during this class.

...

[Ding, the flight class is over, this comprehensive class evaluation: excellent

Appraiser: Rolanda Hooch

Reward: academic points*10]

Ivan, who was walking in the corridor, was relieved to see the final class evaluation that he got. Even if Malfoy, that bully, made trouble, he had still achieved his goal.

Relatively speaking, Ron and Hermione were not in a good mood. Both were worried about Harry who was taken away by Professor McGonagall.

Especially Hermione, who hasn't calmed down yet, couldn't help but run up to Ivan as soon as class ended, babbling.

"I think we should tell Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hooch what happened! Otherwise, what if Harry is expelled?"

Ivan stopped and looked at Hermione.

"No, Professor McGonagall won't expel Harry because of such trivial matter. Maybe it's because Harry is soo good at flying, so Professor McGonagall intends to let Harry join the Quidditch team."

"If you want to join the Quidditch team, you need to be at least in the second year!" Hermione corrector Ivan, she thought he made a mistake and forgot about the rule.

"There are special cases for everything, and not many students can fly as well as Harry when he is just a beginner." Ivan smiled.

Hermione thought for a while. That didn't seem to be beyond the realms of possibility. Ron also brightened up and started talking about the possibility of Harry entering the Quidditch team. If Harry can make it, Ron thinks maybe he can too...

By the time the trio arrived in the auditorium to have dinner, Harry was already sitting there. Before they could say anything, Harry had already greeted him and told them all about how Professor McGonagall gave him a spot in the quidditch team.

Although Ivan had already breached about the possibility in advance, the two of them were still very surprised, especially Ron, who was extremely excited.

"Harry, I didn't expect you to actually join the Quidditch team. You may be the youngest seeker ever at Hogwarts! Does the team still have any openings? For example, a beater or a keeper?" Ron looked at Harry expectantly, hoping to hear some good news.

"No, I heard Wood said that we have a complete team." Harry shook his head awkwardly.

"By the way, Ivan, what happened in the flight class today?" Harry turned to look at Ivan with a displeased expression.

"Didn't Malfoy stole Neville's crystal ball? Then I chased it and got it back? Where was the part about me and Malfoy training?"

When he was taken away by Professor McGonagall, Harry was absolutely terrified. He even thought for a moment he was going to be expelled from Hogwarts and returned to his dirty and cramped cupboard in his uncle's house. Fortunately, The situation was not as bad as he thought.

Ivan didn't mean to conceal that he used the petrification charm to attack Malfoy and threatened him to cooperate with punishments.

"If I had to expose Malfoy, I' would be punished with him. He was taught enough lessons today anyway." Ivan spread his hands.

Ron also added enthusiasm and talked about how Malfoy wasn't allowed to fly in flight class by Madam Hooch. Harry's depression was swept away and soon he was laughing with the rest of us.

Only Hermione still had something to say about everyone's violation of the school rules. Seeing Ivan and the others were chatting happily, she turned her head and left in anger.

After thinking about it, Ivan still didn't say anything to calm her down. Hermione's temperament will change soon.

Of course, it's not bad to follow the rules, but sometimes it's too rigid to get yourself completely into this frame without leaving any room.

Just like in the original book, Malfoy, who caused trouble in flight lessons, was basically unpunished.

That was because of course Harry's bad luck. Professor McGonagall didn't give him any chance to explain, but even if Harry had explained the reason clearly, Professor McGonagall probably would have deducted points from both of them. It would have still been a win for Malfoy.

At least this time Malfoy was scared, I don't believe he would dare to act up again for some time.

It's a pity that he bounced back faster than Ivan expected. Before Ivan had finished eating, Malfoy brought Crabbe and Gore to get even.

Perhaps because he had two people to support him, Malfoy's attitude had returned to his original arrogant appearance, but when he saw Ivan, he felt hatred.

"Potter, are you eating your last meal? Tomorrow you are going back to your Muggle world, right?" Malfoy sneered loudly.

Ivan and Harry didn't do anything when they heard that, instead they looked at Malfoy like he was a fool. Ron even thought that Malfoy's expression would be funnier if he knew that Harry became a Seeker.

The indifferent attitude of Ivan and others made Malfoy a little uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and said what he came here to say.

"Halls, if you have the courage, come to the Trophy tonight, and have a duel!"

However, what Malfoy didn't expect was that Ivan shook his head resolutely.

"Don't feel like it!"

Are you joking? Tonight I am going to the restricted section to receive the rewards from the system, so why would I have a play duel with Malfoy.

Not to mention that Ivan knew about Malfoy's plan, Malfoy was basically planning to propose a false duel, and then notify Filch to get us punished. Ivan would be foolish to participate in this kind of thing.

"Halls, are you scared?" Malfoy sneered.

"I'm not interested in a duel with someone I have already defeated. It's a waste of time." Ivan squinted at Malfoy for a while and looked away with disinterest.

"Wait when you learn some more advanced magic...or you will fall down again, but this time no one will save you."
